Square are working on a PS5 specific version of Final Fantasy 14. (That's the mmo FF.)

As has been said I can see the main storage being upgrade-able via some sort of cartridge SSD if it's as integrated as it seems.
Games will be on UHD disks though as they cost strawberry float all to make.

I disagree with the idea of using cartridges as storage units.

It costs a bomb compared to buying a SSD of your own choice. So no thanks to your idea, Crisp.

I agree with you but what are the fastest transfer speeds for external drives and can they be as fast as the claims both Sony and Microsoft about super fancy drives in the next gen consoles? I have SSD's hooked up to my One X and PS4 Pro at the moment will they be fast enough?

Wait, does this kill the dream of a PlayStation Switch then?

I don’t think Sony will do another handheld console for a long time, sadly.

I would agree had they not had the management shift. I know people aren't fond of Ryan, and rightly so after that the whole who'd want to play old PS games on PS4?!, but they've clearly had a change of heart re backward compatibility, and even making PSNow more appealing since the management change. So you never know!

And the V is upside down because Sony are going to turn the gaming world on its head with the PS5

Like Romulan Starships the PS5 is powered by a captive singularity.

I really want that to be the console’s final design :wub:

Change of management or not, I'd say there's too much reputational damage from last time. They could say "here's all the support that this one will get", but they said that before. The last one sold me by having an Uncharted game at launch.

If it forces Microsoft to finally make a proper X shaped Xbox I'm all for it :wub: .
Then Nintendo can bring back the Cube.

From the "Microsoft Is Still Planning A Cheaper, Disc-Less Next-Gen Xbox" article some PS5 info -

The people behind Xbox have been quiet about their next-gen plans in the months following Scarlett’s announcement at E3, and over the past few months, some developers have grumbled to Kotaku about Microsoft’s lack of communication. Many say they’ve already received development kits for the PS5, code-named Prospero, and images of those devkits have been leaking all over the place. Scarlett development kits have been harder to come by, developers say, although most who are working on next-generation games have a rough idea of what kind of technical specs to target.

For many months, rumors have swirled about the performance differences between Scarlett and the PlayStation 5, and pundits have speculated as to which console will be beefier. What’s become clear, based on our conversations with developers, is that there’s no straight answer to that question yet. Common consensus is that both consoles have roughly similar specs, and that the biggest differences may lie in other factors, like operating system features or slight technical edges that Sony or Microsoft are keeping under wraps. The biggest and perhaps most important question is one that still has no final answer: How much will these things cost?

Both companies, meanwhile, had been terrified of Google’s entry into the video game space after rumors started circulating in early 2018 that the tech conglomerate was doing something big. Over the past couple of years, a number of developers have remarked to me that staff at both PlayStation and Xbox would talk frequently and reactively about Google’s plans, emphasizing each company’s own response to streaming as a result. After the tepid launch of Stadia last month, however, the threat of Google appears to have been overstated. The next generation of consoles will remain a battle between Sony and Microsoft, and will be one of gaming’s biggest stories in 2020.

1st PS5 game shown, sounds like a timed exclusive along with EGS.

Our next AAA title is a loot-driven action RPG with third-person real-time melee combat. It’s a Looter-Slasher played better together with friends.

Drawing upon brand-new high fantasy IP written by Hugo Nebula award winners, Godfall is developed in Unreal Engine 4 for exclusive release on PC and next-gen Consoles.

WARGH! One of my wanted next gen features is on XS:

Suspend and resume multiple games at once.

PS5 better have that!

Next gen only?
I wonder how many games will go with that as the PS4 has sold a fair few units.

I'm sure there will be an extremely healthy selection of cross-gen titles, but they need the exclusives to really help drive the early adoption beyond just the hardest of hardcore.

I will say that the trailer for Godfall didn't really do anything for me, but it was nice to know that it was all "In-Engine" if not in-game.
