Ooooooh It's going to be a beast. And backwards compatibility? 

 

[Turan 450]

It ticks all the right boxes. 

 

Now two questions remain: how much and how loud?

[luisniko 7,327]

Extremely high-end custom SSD

When it's broken, you're f*cked. Chances are buying whole new console or their overprice custom SSD, going back to the same Vita MC hole.

 

PS4 compatibility is nice, it makes transition to PS5 while waiting for the actual games from third parties to come out, though it's obviously wiser to wait for the upgraded version.

 

And all I'm hoping for is an option to sacrifice 8K, 4K bs for framerate with in-game options that enhance graphical aspect (shadow density, light quality etc)

Actually, replacing an SSD is more costly than replacing a HDD, but in every other way it's exactly the same.  It will (almost definitely) be a case of open lid, unscrew a couple of screws, slide out drive and you're ready for the new one.  Yes, you'll need to format it with encryption for that console, meaning you'll have to download all your digital games again, but you'll lose nothing.  

 

 

Anyway, I'm not planning on breaking mine

Meanwhile, I'm hoping that the PS5 will be backwards compatible with most, if not all, PS1, PS2 and PS3 games.

I'm pretty sure that's not what he means. From the article it sounds like the SSD in the PS5 is something that isn't available to consumers at the moment, so if it does break we can't get a 1:1 replacement.

Fingers crossed PS5 backwards compatibility will be physical and digital. I fear PSNow will be our only option to play old games.

 

I'd like to see a modular console.   I'm sick of buying revisions or paying for repairs

We don't know for sure, so I'll not assume.

[MostWantedMVP 9,300]

I hope we get proper PS1, PS2 and PS3 backwards compatibility. If they start a program like Xbox has with enhanced features (Like RDR in 4K, and the ability to use your discs). That would be the icing on the cake.

[Jason 28,031]

Supposedly reliable sources saying that the next Xbox is more powerful. Oof. Gonna be a spicy contest for next-gen I think, and it'll be a win-win for console gamers. Last gen Xbox shat the bed so hard that Sony just ended up strolling out the gate.

[luisniko 7,327]

If the rumor is true, I think Microsoft is keeping the competition tight. They are going by the way of laptop is selling, which is using spec grading. This way people can just buy suitable to what they need and their budget.

 

It seems Sony will just keep releasing one spec at a time that they will improvise along the years before hitting the Slim and probably also Pro.

[Jason 28,031]

Yea I think multiple console variants is likely. MS just released a discless Xbox One, which I reckon they'll do with the next Xbox. We might see something like a discless version, base version and an X version for the next Xbox at launch. Microsoft are also heavily involved in cloud gaming and have their own service to rival Google's, so we might even see a much cheaper online only Xbox that uses the cloud to boost the visual quality.

Better than PS4 and seeing some leaks saying its gonna be 8K makes me laugh so hard thats straight bs.

The only thing possible would be video display. Games? Not gonna happen for next gen. lol We're barely getting 4k

[Mr. Scratch 11,272]

4K at 60fps if anything. Alright, alright, at least 30.

[TheSantader25 7,143]

I don't give a f*ck about 8K or even 4K. Just give me PS2/PS3/PS4 backward compatibility and 1080p/60FPS.

[Jason 28,031]

60fps should really be the standard but developers should be giving players the choice between 30fps with better visuals and 60fps.

For the next generation we should really expect 60fps as standard with much better visuals and 4K resolution.

The power of NG should allow it. 

Finally I will experience 4K. I got the 4K TV 2 years ago. It´s time.

I want real Backwards compatibility and not through PSnow.

[el carlitos 2,663]

No PS5 in next 12 months. Well this was expectable.

• Extremely fast high-end custom SSD storage faster than any solution currently available for PC:

That's retarded. Did they really say that? I doubt very much that they'll put any M.2 drive in a console that's meant to be at least somewhat affordable. I bet it'll be a SATA3 drive.

 

8K support is just as far as the HDMI spec goes. The Xbox One X already supported HDMI 2.1 and 8K in theory via a software update. Games won't run in that res though. Even PCs struggle at 4K.

[RonaldDaniels 1]

What about more cloud storage? It actually needed when you have different kinds of video game in your account.

I'm more like what about USB port to store save data. 

[MostWantedMVP 9,300]

My wishlist

 

- Faster loading times

- 4K DVR

- Backwards compatibility with discs

- Enhanced PS2 and PS3 games

nothing new there, they always say that they will be faster then the current technology. im having a laugh reading some stuff like having an SSD will be a game changer.... what's next? the human eye can now see 60fps after all ?

just to go further, bet it's a sata m.2 drive and since theyre using AMD chips, whatever x570 board they use will support pcie 4.0. Literally the only way it could be considered faster than current PC tech. But by the time the PS5 comes out, pcie 4.0 will already be the new standard on PCs

[el carlitos 2,663]

When you expect official announcment?

It will not be at the E3 (11.June - 14.June). It´s quite sure it will be this year. So do you expect it before or after E3?
