Sony PlayStation 5 : Play Has No Limits

PS5 Release Date, PS5 Games, PS5 Power vs Xbox One X, PS5 Price Speculation - All the PS5 Info lets discuss



Here are all the rumors and speculation surrounding the PS5, including a potential PS5 release date, power, and launch games of Sony's inevitable PS5. Is the PS5 releasing in 2019?


What we Want From the PS5 Speculation aside, what would we ideally want from the PS5? Backwards compatibility for PS4 games would be brilliant, simply because you'd be able to carry over classics like the Shadow of the Colossus remake to the next console generation. We've seen how well Microsoft is handling backwards compatibility with its Xbox One consoles (including getting amazing results updating Xbox 360 games to run in 4K on Xbox One X), and something similar on PS5 would be great.

In terms of pure power, the PlayStation 5 has to significantly exceed the power of the Xbox One X. This means featuring more games running in 4K at 60FPS. If the PS5 can deliver about 10 TF of power we'd be happy, as this would allow devs to create games that look a generation ahead of what we've got now.

But what would the dream launch lineup be for the PS5? Death Stranding and The Last of Us: Part 2 are hugely anticipated blockbuster games, with the former especially looking to push the performance of whatever system it's on to the very limit. We've also mentioned Ghost of Tsushima and a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, and the latter would be the perfect way to kick off a new console cycle from Sony.

in 3rd person games and their fluid 30fps the game actually looks fine on TV.

fps=pc only

- - - Updated - - -

medium settings
for 3rd party games but

u should see how first party PS4 games look like

- god of war , Horizon Zero Dawn with checker boarding 4K they look superb. thanks to all the texture each scene have.

According to AMD, native 4K at 30fps for PS4 quality games is possible with a 7.4TF GPU:

While speaking with gaming magazine Edge (July 2018, Issue 320), AMD’s Timothy Lottes mentioned that to achieve 4K resolutions for a game that looks like a regular PS4 title, at a frame rate of 30 FPS, a game needs about 7.4 teraflops per second.

Interestingly enough, though, both the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X fall short of this requirement, with the PS4 Pro coming in at 4.2 teraflops, and the Xbox One X at 6 teraflops (which is likely why it’s able to squeeze out native 4K resolutions anyway, being closer to the expected requirements).
Edge (via GamingBolt)

Pretty similar to what Mark Cerny had said. It remains to be seen what kind of rendering quality and graphical features will be prioritized for next-gen games. I'm expecting launch games to be native 4K, with CBR 4K becoming more common as the generation nears its end and devs push for more graphical features. A Ryzen-based processor would help reduce CPU-related bottlenecks.

100% sure the graphical settings in console games are rarely equivalent to one of the presets found in their PC counterparts.

in games like god of war , the order 886 , horizon zero dawn.. 30 fps isnt bad at all ... they are more about the atmosphere and eniverment which needs better gfx to fully convey itself..

i dont mind native 4k 30fps on these type games.

Sorry by medium preset I meant some things on high, some things on low overall a mix of different settings rather than straight up medium preset of any game on PC

I like how the Digital Foundry video cuts to Cyberpunk 2077 when talking about a true generational leap in visuals when no one has seen the console versions lol

This is indeed true and Medium is an accurate baseline for comparison. While some settings may go higher, others go low as well. Sometimes even lower than the lowest option available on PC (eg. view distance in Dying Light on consoles).

The bigger issue for me however is the 30fps target and outdated controller design. I found the combat in Dark Soul 3 way more responsive and fun than Bloodborne. Some argue that controllers are fine for shooters at 30fps which is completely false and laughable now that more FPS are adhering to a 60fps target than last gen. Analog sticks are awful and no progress has been made at all to address that.

Considering the PS4 output quality, I can see this. Though with lesser quality focused developers, they can probably make due with lower hardware with lower settings or pre sets.

It's not necessarily the case that an equal number of settings at 'low' balance out the number of settings at 'high'. Moreover, the performance impact of each setting isn't equivalent either. Therefore, 'medium' as a baseline is inaccurate.

And lol @ outdated controllers. Last I checked, the Steam controller wasn't selling like hot cake. Gyro aim is a much better alternative to the right analog stick compared to a haptic feedback driven trackpad. Both the Dualshock 4 and Switch Joycons/Pro controller support it (as does the Steam controller). It's on developers to add functionality in their games.

in games like god of war , the order 886 , horizon zero dawn.. 30 fps isnt bad at all
Indeed, it's a non-issue for single-player games. However, I do expect developers to let the player pick performance over graphics or vice versa. Something like native 4k/30fps when favoring graphics and CBR 4K/~60fps when favoring performance seems doable to me with a zen-based CPU.

That's true. Despite having a 6TF GPU, the One X still manages to run a lot of games at native 4k.

CBR 4K with 60fps is a Lit idea.

lol so much salt that everyone who saw the demo is calling Cyberpunk 2077 next gen. Ya'll eventually gonna get the new consoles. Just play it there.

Todd Howard explains this as well regarding Starfield:

"What systems we put it out on - what's the hardware requirements - is still to be determined," Howard said. "We're pushing it; we're thinking very, very far in the future so we're building something that will handle next-generation hardware. That's what we're building on right now, that's where our mind is, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't exist on the current systems as well."
They can make it work on current gen systems too.

Sony confirms it’s working on the next PlayStation console

[h=2]Next-generation PlayStation is ‘necessary,’ says Sony CEO[/h]




With the fifth anniversary of the PlayStation 4’s debut approaching, Sony has confirmed that it is developing a successor to the console.
“At this point, what I can say is it’s necessary to have a next-generation hardware,” said Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony’s president and CEO, in an interview with the Financial Times.
Yoshida did not name the console, so there’s no information yet on whether it will officially be called the “PlayStation 5.” There’s also no word on a release window, although John Kodera, the CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment — that’s the official name of the company’s gaming division — suggested in May that the next PlayStation is at least three years away.
“We will use the next three years to prepare the next step, to crouch down so that we can jump higher in the future,” said Kodera. Sony plans to employ that strategy through its 2020 fiscal year, which ends in the spring of 2021, so the PS5 may not come until after that point.



It doesn’t take reading tea leaves to figure out that it would make sense for Sony to produce a new PlayStation. The PS4 is easily Sony’s most successful hardware platform since the PlayStation 2, which remains the best-selling video game console of all time with over 155 million units sold. Sony has sold more than 81.2 million PS4s worldwide, already surpassing the lifetime sales of the PlayStation 3.
More importantly, the PlayStation division has been Sony’s top-performing business segment in every full fiscal year since the company launched the PS4 in November 2013 (i.e., starting with the 2014 fiscal year, which began on April 1). In Sony’s 2017 fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2018, revenue from Sony’s gaming business amounted to 1.94 trillion yen ($17.53 billion) — nearly 23 percent of the company’s $75 billion total.
Citing people in game publishing who are familiar with Sony’s PS5 plans, the Financial Times reports that the console “might not represent a major departure from the PS4, and that the fundamental architecture would be similar.” This sounds likely, since both Sony and Microsoft have extended the current console generation by releasing more powerful 4K-capable hardware — the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, respectively — that is fully compatible with existing games.


Everyone from video game executives to casual observers of the industry have long suggested that the era of traditional console generations may be winding down, but for now, it sounds like Sony is staying the course. Indeed, Kodera’s predecessor, Andrew House, said in April that he expects game makers to continue shipping physical disc-based games for the foreseeable future. House added that the industry may be at an “inflection point” where cloud-based game streaming becomes standard practice, but noted that “the business model has to be thought through.”
House was running the PlayStation division when it acquired game-streaming platform Gaikai in 2012 for $380 million. Sony used Gaikai’s technology as the foundation of its own cloud service, PlayStation Now, which it launched in 2014. Customers can subscribe to PlayStation Now for on-demand access to a library of more than 500 PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, along with the newly added ability to download PS2 and PS4 titles. The service is accessible only through a PS4 or PC.
While the PS4 was the first console from one of the platform holders to offer streaming games, Nintendo and Microsoft are now catching up, and other major players are entering the fray.


The Nintendo Switch may not be powerful enough to natively run games such asResident Evil 7 biohazard and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, but in Japan, Nintendo has experimented with streaming those titles to the portable console. Microsoft announced Monday that it plans to begin streaming Xbox One games to devices such as tablets and smartphones through an initiative it calls Project xCloud, which the company is reportedly building as the foundation of a streaming-focused console that it will launch alongside the next Xbox. And Google has partnered with Ubisoft to stream Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to the Chrome browser via Google’s own newly announced streaming platform, Project Stream.
“Other than the technical challenges, there’s no reason why game streaming can’t be present in games in the same way that we have seen in the music and film and television industries,” said House, the former PlayStation chief.
Kodera, the current head of Sony Interactive Entertainment, noted in May that subscriptions and online services will play a key role in the next PlayStation platform.
“We need to depart from the traditional way of looking at the console life cycle,” Kodera said. “We’re no longer in a time when you can think just about the console or just about the network like they’re two different things.”

    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.
