| We got the specs and info revealed for the PS5 today: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-playstation-5-specs-and-tech-that-deliver-sonys-next-gen-vision Some other interesting notes: Advantages of the PS5: - Faster load - No load screens - Ultra High-Speed Streaming - De-duplicate game data - No long patch installs - SD is 825GB and can load 5.5GB in a second (100 times faster I/O than PS4; XSX is 1TB and loads 2.4GB raw). Storage can be expanded with an external HDD for PS4 titles; PS5 titles require certified SSDs - PS5 will support "the top 100 PS4 games" at launch. Price not revealed yet or release date. More sources https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1240318258965774339 https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/1240318258965774339 Curious about what people think about this. |
 |
| I'll wait since it doesn't have native or digital PS2 backwards compatibility. The reveal was really nice if you are an expert in for example hardware engineering, if not, most of the reveal will go over your head. |
 |
what a huge jump from PS4 specs. I think it will make development easier on these next gen consoles |
removed-userMar 19, 2020 4:25 AM
| It's says "PS5 titles require certified SSDs." Does this mean that Sony is making proprietary SSDs specifically for this console? If they're priced like the PS Vita memory cards, it's not gonna be good, because these SSDs will likely fail before the PS5 goes out of production. I know that modern SSDs last longer, but it's still not good enough. |
 |
| I mean let's be real, the differences in specs are going to be pretty minute for the average customer, apart from the loading times. Plus XSX's storage space I think doesn't account for the OS so it's probably not gonna be exactly 1tb Overall though, XSX has higher performance, but you're not really gonna notice all that much difference unless you're playing a highly demanding game in 4K (and it won't be the biggest of differences I assume either). It's like PS5 is an RTX 2080 and XSX is a 2080ti, most people won't notice a huge difference apart from enthusiasts At the end of the day though, price + launch titles are what's gonna dictate the underlying success of both systems. Some people though acting like these specs signal the end of Sony lolol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Well said Short_Circut! I'm eager to see what lineup Sony has planned. Rumor is a Silent Hill remake game and I wouldn't be surprised if Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will be a launch title. |
|
| Yeah I think the only hype for me personally if they have a new controller design, otherwise price is probably not right lol because ps4 pro is there and not even google stadia can beat. |
| - PS5 will support "the top 100 PS4 games" at launch. This is so much less than I expected. Lame. |
| Soooo... Backwards compatibility for PS1, 2, 3 and 4 when?! |
 |
| Xbox one x series is obviously the more powerful console excluding speed, but at the end of the day the exclusives and price will make or break these two console. Though that backward compatibility for ps5 doesn't sound well, while for the xbox series x features to improve even older game overall visual and full backwards compatibility (If I'm correct) is a 1+ for Microsoft. |
| this should be more cheaper than the new Xbox since the specs is lower than the new Xbox |
| How much is this and the xbox going to cost? Also what is the gpu equal to? 1080? 2080 is to expensive let alone a 2080 ti. |

I would be suprised if it cost anything less than 500 dollars. 600 dollar is possible. Xbox series X GPU is very close to RTX 2080 Ti power But PC will probably have new GPU generation on holiday 2020 when xbox series X comes out. High-end PC will always be ahead of console |

High-end PC will always be ahead of console that is impossible. 2080 ti is like 1300 or so. They are not going to sell a 1500$ console let alone 1000$ |

PS4 doesn't even have a commercial pc gpu equivalent. these are custom apus that perform well specifically for the software they're built to run Yes I know they aren't actual 2080 ti's but they still aren't gonna be 100$ to make. |

Rumor is a Silent Hill remake game and I wouldn't be surprised if Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will be a launch title. correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that rumour meant to be taken with a barrel of salt lol? Like there was also rumours that Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania series' were gonna be bought by Sony as well. |

| Does this mean the system won't be loud as fuck when playing high intensive games? |
 |
| After reading all posts, here are my thoughts in points: 1. PS5 Specs: I honestly not interested in PS5 at all. My target is a PS5 Pro. It's not confirmed yet. There is no official news about it. 2. Backward Compatibility: It appears that SONY has no intention/interest of making all possible games from PS1 to PS4 available on PS5. Only PS4 games. 3. PS5 Supporting Top 100 Games of PS4: What the fuck is that? FIFAGGOT? PUBG? Faggotnite? MGS5? Horizon Zero Dawn? Need For Scam? Pro Evolution Soccer? Call of Dick?...... Whatever. This is stupid dump shit. 4. Difference in Visuals and Performance: ArabianLuffy: Hey! SONY: What? ArabianLuffy: Is MGS5 gonna look better on PS5? SONY: It's up to the developers. ArabianLuffy: That means no. SONY: Spiderman, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of Wack will look better on PS5. ArabianLuffy: That's because it's your games. What about Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5? SONY: Like I said, it's up to the developers. ArabianLuffy: Yeah, whatever. |

Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: Now that I think about it, maybe I should just get a Switch instead... It's not a bad idea. I might pick up more indie games on the Switch since I barely touch them on Steam. |

| I've lost interest in playstation in this generation since they only have two exclusives I care about (persona and bloodborne) but here are my thoughts on this announcement. >the top 100 PS4 games That's weird. Does that mean they won't run natively even though the PS5 architecture is so similar to PS4? Now that the PS5 is more powerful will we finally get proper PS3 emulation? >certified SSD I hope it won't be some proprietary overpriced crap like the vita >no long patch installs That's cool but with my third world connection patches will still take too long Curently I have no interest in either console but they haven't announced any games yet to hype me up. Xbox is more exciting to me because I never owned an xbox and microsoft's backwards compatibility keeps getting better and better so I can use one machine to play all generations of xbox. |

| Looks like Sony wasn't kidding about its struggle to keep the price down. Those specs are a massive jump from PS5's. Won't be surprised if it launches at nearly four digits. |
 |
| @Skittles: $450.0? You were counting the decimal point, right? There is no way that any console will cost in the ballpark of $1,000. |

Sorry, my brain was still thinking in Australian Dollars lol. 450 dollars seems a bit too cheap though when the launching price for the PS4 was $399. It might probably be $500. |
|
| I don't know why anyone would get the Xbox. They don't have exclusives anymore. Pretty much all their games are on PC now. |
| There's an update yesterday... "A quick update on backward compatibility – With all of the amazing games in PS4’s catalog, we’ve devoted significant efforts to enable our fans to play their favorites on PS5. We believe that the overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 titles will be playable on PS5." https://blog.us.playstation.com/2020/03/18/unveiling-new-details-of-playstation-5-hardware-technical-specs/ So it's much much more than the "top 100" PS4 games. |

Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: PsychoticDave said: I don't know why anyone would get the Xbox. They don't have exclusives anymore. Pretty much all their games are on PC now. Well, the new Xbox will be fully backwards compatible, from launch, all the way to the original. That's a shit ton of good games right there. Not why I'll be buying one though. I'll get a "Series X" -- Hopefully a Series S, since I don't wanna pay through the freaking nose for "muh powa" -- because I only want one system to act as my entire entertainment center, and the Xbox is much better at that than the PlayStation. I could also upgrade my computer and use that -- it's not like I don't know how to build and maintain a PC -- but I can't be arsed anymore. That and I want to continue using Linux (Fedora) for at least the next five years. It's just better. Not at gaming, obviously (even with Proton), but at everything else... not even a contest. I won't even dual-boot, tbh. PS: HiDive support for PlayStation when? It's fucking 2020... Xbox having backwards compatibility doesn't help when you can just get an emulator for PC for free compared to buying an extra expensive game that isn't being made anymore. Not to mention PlayStation has PlayStation Now which has over 2000 games, plenty of which are the classics from the PS3 / PS2 / PS1. Xbox isn't a better entertainment system. Tbh, Switch would be best for that if it supported 4K and despite that I still believe it is. Other than Switch's portability they're all the same entertainment system-wise. The best thing is to have a Switch and a PC because PlayStation and Xbox are both losing their exclusives. Xbox is just losing basically all of its exclusives where-as PlayStation still has plenty of amazing exclusives not yet on PC. And Switch is basically pure exclusives. For an entertainment system, just build a $500~ PC. You can upgrade it at will and off top it will be better for watching TV. Plus I highly advocate piracy so you can't go wrong. Almost everything is free on PC if you torrent long enough. |

Sorry, my brain was still thinking in Australian Dollars lol. In that case, that wouldn't be too farfetched. Still, $500 (USD) will most likely be the upper limit on how much both boxes will cost. Console exclusives will still be a thing in order to subsidize the R&D and manufacturing costs until Sony and Microsoft either break even or are profiting from their console sales, as usual. And I'm sure that Sony still has Vietnam flashbacks from trying to sell the PS3 for $600. |

What about the people who, to use Senran Kagura for example, plays the games on PC to avoid Sony's censorship, but doesn't innitiate Intimacy Mode with any of the girls? |

I'm sure Sony doesn't mind if you don't buy it or if you do, you're not the target demographic they're trying to appeal to and I'm sure that audience is small enough to not care for it. |
