The PS5 may launch alongside a holographic display.

“There is ray-tracing acceleration in the GPU hardware,” he says, “which I believe is the statement that people were looking for.”

physical games for the PS5 will use 100GB optical disks, inserted into an optical drive that doubles as a 4K Bluray player.

This time around, aided in part by the simplified game data possible with the SSD, Sony is changing its approach to storage, making for a more configurable installation—and removal—process. "Rather than treating games like a big block of data," Cerny says, "we're allowing finer-grained access to the data." That could mean the ability to install just a game's multiplayer campaign, leaving the single-player campaign for another time, or just installing the whole thing and then deleting the single-player campaign once you've finished it.

a completely revamped user interface.

Cerny hands me a prototype of the next-generation controller, an unlabeled matte-black doohickey that looks an awful lot like the PS4's DualShock 4. After all, there's a little hole on it, and a recently published patent points to Sony developing a voice-driven AI assistant for the PlayStation. But all I get from Cerny is, "We'll talk more about it another time."

DualShock 5...adaptive triggers"....also boasts haptic feedback far more capable than the rumble motor console gamers are used to....improved speaker on the controller....USB Type-C connector for charging (and you can play through the cable as well). Its larger-capacity battery and haptics motors make the new controller a bit heavier than the DualShock 4

PS5 devkit—a devkit that on quick glance looks a lot like the one Gizmodo reported on last week.

Adaptive triggers and haptic feedback sound really nice, I bet there will be some great applications of those.

Hope the controller batter lasts longer than a few hours this time.

gooseberry fool's getting real!
I know this interview is to build the hype but I'm confused why Jim Ryan would reveal a feature that Microsoft can now emulate. And they will.

And so the saving begins.

Place your bets for the RRP.

Assuming they only launch one core SKU at this point I'm gonna go for £399. I think it's going to be a touch expensive.

Or maybe ms already are and sony are saying it first?

Either way I don’t even think ms will even be relevant next generation.

£599.99 with 2 controllers and a larger hdd.

Everyone seems to be acting like BC is nailed-has this actually been confirmed?

I have a huge pile of PS4 games to get through, and jumping on the PS5 will likely happen earlier for me if I can carry my unplayed library with me.

Please stop.

Of course they’ll be relevant. They’ve made some positive moves in the last few years with studio acquisition. I expect their first party lineup to be much stronger than this generation.

That's perhaps a bit too rich for my blood, and most people I would expect. I could perhaps see £450 at the absolute most, but I don't see them making another PS3 style pricing mistake with this.

I won't be getting any of the next gen on launch, I'll most likely wait for the Slim versions, still excited to hear details and whatnot

What feature were you thinking of that was mentioned?

I was kinda thinking that I'd hold off from jumping into next gen right from the start. I *know* it'd be better to hold off and await improved game range / price drop / "slim" version / "pro" version / folders ( :lol:

).

But, dang it, I'm feeling a frisson of excitement about Day One!

£599.99?

Sounds like a console for povvos. Make it £1,999.99 and then I might be interested.
