Original Post

Mark Cerny has talked to WIRED about Sony's next gen machine.

https://www.wired.com/story/exclusive-sony-next-gen-console/


- Will have a solid state drive with bandwidth faster than any SSD in any current PC.

- The SSD will transform how quickly data can be streamed and will improve load times massively from current titles.
- The PS5 will support 8K.
- Will also support current PSVR, a future version of which is heavily implied but not yet being revealed.
- Supports ray tracing, which seems to be a big focus of new graphics.
- Jump in audio quality will 'redefine what sound can do in a videogame'. Much bigger than the leap from PS3 to PS4, and is a focus of the machine. Hardware resources being thrown at audio.
- Backwards compatible with PS4 software.:drool:
- Not out this year.

Shame it’s not backwards compatible even further.

I’ll wait for the PS5 Pro [equivalent] this time, I reckon.

Who says it's not? They have more stuff to announce and there's some patents about that suggest the backwards compatibility could go deeper.

Mike

My guess is backwards with disks for PS4 and some sort of streaming thing for older stuff.

It will be via online purchases/rentals, you'd imagine.

Shindig
19-04-2019, 09:47 PM
I wouldn't be so sure on that. The patents that were filed talk about spoofing the CPU into emulating systems. Do it at that level and then you could theoretically run your own discs. It lets them get one over on Microsoft who presently have to wait for the rights holders to give the green light.

http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019/02/ps5_backwards_compatibility_suggested_by_sony_pate nt

Time will tell. Sony's history of emulating their own systems has been weird, especially across the PS3. The 60GB models used to do all that stuff natively on real hardware but, as time goes on, that becomes more expensive and it's easier to cut costs and attempt a software solution. And now that's the only option with consoles going onto x86 architecture. If PCs are getting to the point where PS3 emulation can be brute forced, how close can Sony get?

phonics
20-04-2019, 05:21 AM
PS4 games will run natively and anything further back will run via streaming through the PSNow equivalent that you'll get with an upgraded version of PSPlus. No putting your PS1 games into the slot and it reading.

The subscriptions an added bonus, it's just about saving money on disc reading hardware and running software emulation for 4 different architectures. Much easier to run that low-res shit through the cloud. People will bitch about latency but they charged full price for that Parappa remake that was impossible to play on a modern television so I doubt they care.

Said report also states that Virtual Reality made half as much as total console revenue and mobile made more than PC/Console/VR combined. They're run by Nielsen which for gaming you have to sign up for, the only people signing up for it are super hardcore nerds and it skews their numbers. Take it with a pinch of salt.

So how much are we thinking?

PS2 was £299 and sold well at launch
PS3 was £425 and struggled
PS4 was £350.

Analysts have said they imagine it will be £450 but I have a feeling they do the disc version for £400 to try and really capitalise on sales.

I've been looking forward to seeing more of Deathloop (for when it comes to PC) because I love Arkane games but I'm not sure if the trailer has me more hyped for it or not. It looks like it has a similar sort of structure to the Prey DLC with you basically using repeat runs to work out the most efficient way to do things so you can beat the game but that eventually turned me off the Prey DLC so not sure how I feel about it here.

I do like Arkane a lot though, so I'll probably end up getting it.

More like £600 according to the internet hive mind.

They're getting that from Amazon lobbing it up yesterday for £600 which was taken down about a minute later.

Companies did the same with the PS4.

There's no chance it goes over £500 because it would flop too hard. Money isn't in the actual console (Sony were selling the PS3 at a $300 loss per unit at launch) it's on the games and micro-transactions.

Gray Fox
12-06-2020, 08:38 PM
I personally think £499.99.

Backward compatibility to at least PS4 games needs to be a thing.

Assuming it does come out November-ish, it's going to be a bastard to get hold of this year.

I can't decide if I should go digital or disk.

I prefer digital games over a physical copy but sometimes physical is a little cheaper. Someone else can bring games, I can rent games, buy pre-owned etc.

However, £90 cheaper for the console and I do prefer not having to physically get up and change a disk.

It may just be a soon to be relic of my time, but I always liked selling your game on when it no longer has use, in order to fund the next one and so on.

If you look on Amazon the RRP of games clearly is sub-£70.

£59.99 seems to be the most expensive standard/Amazon special edition game (Far Cry 6) and they're all either the same price as PS4 games or £5 more expensive.

Interesting that at a time when we've already had a PS "exclusive" or two on PC (is it just HZD? I feel like there's another I'm forgetting) there were two games in all this that got announced for PC and then hastily said "ER NO THEY'RE DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO PC."

I wonder if they're going to more consistently go down the route of timed exclusives. Have them Playstation-only for a while so they can snag anybody who's likely to buy a box for a specific game and then once they think they're past the most profitable bit of that roll it out to PC / other platforms.

The main retailers put up on Thursday there was another batch of stock going up on Friday. Haven't got the money to buy one outright so had to wait for a BNPL retailer. I saw Amazons' stock go up and disappear instantly. Argos' stayed around for an hour or two because it wasn't showing properly. Verys' came up around 11:30 or so while I was out was it was a blind panic to try and do it on my phone. Got one ordered but took them over an hour to confirm it. So I should be good for one on launch day.

Downside is, I've had to take all of my current gen stuff down to CeX to sell. If it all clears, something near £300 is mine to put back on, but I'm console-less for near 2 months.

Is there any point to have this by launch at all tthough? Arn't the first versions always a bit faulty anyway and then there are no games until maybe a year in?

Well the sooner you get it the sooner you have the opportunity to embrace £70 being the new normal for console game prices. The excitement of that alone will be too much to resist, surely?

Well... I always kind of though almost all games are vastly under-priced for the amount of entertainment they give you. And when you look at these AAA titles these days it just seems so much work goes into it. So long as the devs seem decent (like Witcher devs) I don't mind paying.

Ian
02-10-2020, 09:43 AM
There are games (or more specifically developers) where I'm happy to chuck them the money but the price of a product going up about 40% when there's not that much of a noticeable improvement in what you're getting is questionable, especially when the exact same product is cheaper on a different platform.

It's also annoying when I imagine most developers are just going to pocket the extra profit rather than, say, use it to actually treat their staff better.

Everyone with a PS5, has the same spec PS5 and doesn't have to bother making sure their GPU is good enough or if their Processor can handle it etc. It's just easier.

Of course if you want top of the range everything, PC is the way to go(and it'll cost you such). But if these things can do 4k/60fps gaming as they suggest, for £450, that's a damn good package.

Any hardware build has a failure rate. That's usually higher in the early production runs as they're still optimising the process, but it's usually a sliver of a percent

Alright then. My PS4 pro is kind of at the limit in size where it fits into my TV-bench furniture though so that is basically my main requirement here. Will the PS5 be the same size?

Also does it only cost 450 quid? That seems cheap!!

I got mine on release day and it's been good as gold the whole time, no issues and no fan noise either. The only bother was the grips on the controller wearing away but the replacement one I got seemed to have that remedied. Not bad for 7 year old kit, particularly when I had to replace or repair the PS2 and 3 once each.

Seriously starting to think about getting this.

Feels a little like a wast of my PS4 as I've only had it for about 1.5 years now and it's still serving me very very well but still, tempted as I find the price much better than I thought it would be.

Gray Fox
13-10-2020, 02:06 PM
There's a little clip on attachment you need to lay it down, but I believe they include it.

If you can/want to, sell your PS4 on now. You might get £100-200 depending on how much you have for it.

Mazuuurk
13-10-2020, 03:21 PM
What do you mean how much I have for it?

It's a PS4 Pro with 2 controllers I guess. But I read somewhere that the controllers will work for the PS5 as well?

Anyway - I'm not gonna rush into it. Likely I'll buy it sometime next year maybe once productions gone up a bit and all that. Always seems a little like you shouldn't buy these things right when they release.

I still have a good 5-10 games left I wanna play through on the PS4 so, by the time God of War 2 and maybe Horizon Zero Dawn 2 pop up i'll probably get on it. Meanwhile Cyberpunk and Baldurs Gate should both be fine to play on PS4 I guess.

I'm wondering a little about FFVII remake later episodes, but I'm kind of holding off on that until all 3 episodes are out anyway so.

Gray Fox
13-10-2020, 03:41 PM
I meant extra controllers, games etc.

You'd get about £145 for selling just your PS4 and controller through CeX. But if you're content with waiting then it's all good.

I believe the PS4 controllers will work for the cross compatible games at the least.

Con them with some black tape. I need to consider which consoles to retire. PS2 is done, now. The PC emulation is good enough to get by. The 360 is close if I can get Gears and Gears 2 finished. The Gamecube is covered with emulation and the PS3 is a couple of games away from being useless-ish.

If I wind up with just the PS4, PS5 and PC under my desk, I'll be a happy lad.

Fair enough. I am weighing up whether to buy the physical copies I have again digitally when they are on sale and flogging them off with the PS4 Pro. If I can recoup 200 I will be happy, got 3 controllers, Witcher 3, Borderlands 3, RDR2, Overwatch and a few others I could chuck in with it.

Pulled a lot of overtime this month but didn't realise Planet Coaster was a PS5 release game so think I will be pre-ordering that and Cyberpunk for launch day, more outlay on games than I expected, especially with FM21 looming.

The hardware is what's in-demand right now. Everyone who was out of a job or furloughed had the same idea of catching up on their gaming. As such your controllers are worth £25 cash a pop in CeX and the PS4 Pro £120. The games wont actually add that much cash wise unfortunately. Maybe it'd be better to put them in as a store voucher and wait for another game you want. You'd be just a smidge over £200. You could get more for selling somewhere like Facebook, but it's if you trust that.

You do also get the PS+ collection for PS5 announced for games too if that sways your decision. As a PS4 player you'll likely have played most on the list, but there's some gems on there.

I'm pulling the trigger on this. Demon's Souls is the only thing at release I'm big on but I've got plenty of PS4 stuff to work with. One thing I want to know is if they've made any changes to stream overlays when you're streaming direct from the console. I don't tend to have a second screen going so have to bolt that iffy chat log to the side. It would be nice to see that better presented.

Gray Fox
27-10-2020, 11:51 PM
I've had to re-evaluate where I'm going to put mine. No laying down for my one.

The delay of Cyberpunk into December does me a bit of a favour. I'll likely not get it now until into 2021, so I'll be working through something of a backlog. I still have Horizon and Spider-Man physical copies and I have some of the PS+ Collection to get to grips with. Mainly, God of War and The Last of Us(part 2 later on). I'm told Bloodborne is also a must-play, but I confess I know little of it.

That should take me nicely through until the big new releases start to come, early 2021. There's also Novembers PS+ games to be announced tomorrow. I've no idea what games are coming, but another big game I've not played wouldn't go amiss.

It also probably shows we're being ushered into a digital era, but I'll keep my disc drive until they pry it from my cold dead console.

I'm going the whole 9 yards on this. Full new setup. I'm looking for a good 4k monitor to boot. I have found one that is pretty much perfect in my price point, but no USB on it is a little annoying.

I'm also ready for a wireless headset. If I'd had my act together I'd have been on the hunt for the 3D Pulse one. It's reviewing very well and looks hard to beat for the £90 price. It's almost as popular as the consoles themselves though so another alternative might have to be found.

My disc version will be here Saturday. Trying to see if I can get my hands on a digital one that I can pick up before that or get the same day as its always been my preference.

Gray Fox I have heard good things about that headset and wireless is the way to go. I currently have the Logitech G933 Artemis (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G933-Artemis-Spectrum-Compatible/dp/B0148NPJ78) and they have been very good for years so I am likely going to just upgrade to the Logitech G Pro Wireless but thats because I am a logitech sucker.

It seems almost unbeatable on price for performance. A shame they just aren't available anywhere at all.

I have a question. From what I've seen from the coverage, the console looks at your library and recommends stuff on your first boot. I know the console likes to poorly list the PS4 and PS5 versions of the same game in the library so is there a way I can just have the PS5 version listed there?

The PS5 adaptive triggers are crazy. I'm playing 2k21 and when my players are low on stamina the triggers are rock solid.

Well today has up and down. It worked out that my PS5 and 4k monitor were to be delivered today so almost like my christmas. One from DPD and one Yodel. I knew the PS5 would be Yodel from the day I ordered it so was sure something would go wrong.

Got my time slot from DPD of 13:50 to 14:50 and was towards the back of the drivers run on my Yodel page. You can't follow the DPD guys, but the time slot makes up for it. You can however get real time updates of the Yodel guy. Well I'd essentially stalked him to the point were there was less than 5 deliveries away as I saw the DPD van pull up.

Got my monitor(still in the box now) and after I'd put it out of reach of little hands refreshed and saw the Yodel guy was on the next street over and had 2 to go until me. So I went to the living room window which overlooks the cul-de-sac so I can see all who come down. Got nothing for about 10 mins so I refreshed my page.

I got the dreaded "sorry we missed you" message. The guy made zero attempt to deliver to my address and I've no card or anything. And I definitely would have seen him anyway. Despite furious phone call(s) to Yodel nothing has turned up and now I get to go through it again tomorrow.

It's not the end of the world(so long as it comes tomorrow), but the principle of the thing. He was in the very next street, so to me that smacks of never having it on the van in the first place. Or else why not simply pop around the corner?
My biggest concern now is like I've seen on Twitter if it "goes missing" at the depot, I'm fucked. The company can't just send out a new one because there aren't any.

Back when they were known as Home Delivery Network, I had a laptop that never left the van ... which never left the depot.

It was 2:15 he reported it "as missed" and I was in the 60's of his 100 or so deliveries. I'm sure it just wasn't on the van.

Now I get to play that game again tomorrow.

I enjoyed the story where loads of them were being nicked because Sony said it must be delivered with no outer packaging to anonymise it.

My driver has 120 deliveries today and I'm #86. Judging by how fast he's going so far it should be around the same time again today.

Last night gave me time to get the 4k monitor out now and get my desk ready for it though, so swings and roundabouts.

I think my Currys order avoided the cull as I got an email saying it was being prepared for despatch yesterday, although it's gone from order confirmed to order received on their site so fuck knows.

By the sounds of it, all the other guys working on Playstation Country got theirs. One of them landed a copy of WRC and he's, shock horror, surprised by the haptic feedback.

Got mine delivered about 4. Box was pretty beat up as well as the box for the extra controller. Now to get the endless updates and installations out the way and I'm good to go.

Everything set up at the desk(it's a big boy) and thankfully it all works despite the box being a bit battered. Updates are finished, but now just waiting on the downloads of the PS+ stuff I've picked out. I've got some backlog on the blue side so I need to get cracking really.

God of War
Horizon: Zero Dawn
The Last of Us
Spider-Man

Those to choose from to start with. I also need to add in Death Stranding, The Last of Us 2 and maybe Ghost of Tsushima to my collection at some point. I'm kind of glad there isn't anything big, bar Cyberpunk, in the very near future as I reckon that could well be a good 2/3 months of my time at least, just catching up.

Now to decide which game to start on tomorrow.

Currys came through this morning, and as it was DPD delivering I got a console rather than an industrial sized bag of rice. The haptic triggers on the controller already feels like a big step up, I think the loading times will be the other once I've actually got past it copying and downloading files

How's everyone getting on with theirs? Enjoying mine, though I had a weird thing while the wife was playing Bugsnax where the control just decided it wasn't working anymore but was still powered on. Swapped it out for the one on charge and both been fine since, not sure what that was.

Ubisoft have FINALLY tweeted about UK peeps not being able to upgrade their PS4 versions of games. It only took them 11 days to acknowledge the problem.

The only spot of trouble I've found with my console is that it wont download updates for my PS4 games on my external HDD.

Keeps saying "Can't download or copy".

I bought PS4 Watch Dogs on the cheap just for the upgrade which luckily appeared as soon as I popped the disc in. Shame it's a bit rubbish but it does look nice

To be fair Bugsnax seems to have a few bugs, and also seems to be a lot more finnicky than it's 'baby game' detractors gave it credit for.

Watching the stock vanish today has been quite depressing. Game had some in, bundled them in weird ways and they were gone in 10 minutes. Shopto have some on back order but there's a 50,000 strong queue. Amazon had some that were taken immediately. CeX has them in but they're charging £815.
