First details emerged, sounding like a nice step forward, PS4 backwards compatible to. Awesome!

Sounds like they’re knocking it out of the park hardware wise, and backwards compatability is also excellent as well!

It might be yet, it's been a heavily requested feature.

Sony have panted a lot of hardware level emulation stuff over the last few years.

I think we'll probably end up seeing PS3 backwards compatibility too. The Cell CPU is a clusterfuck of over-engineering but software based PS3 emulators are now very much a thing on PC, you'd expect a hardware level solution made by the engineers of said console to be very doable.

Id like that as well but I get the feeling Sony would prefer to sell us remasters of ye olden games.

8k video support is very nice, though games would hit around 10fps lol Saying that, proper 8k gaming probably isnt far off based benchmarks from an RTX 2080 ti. Still, if 4k games can get 60+ fps in full ultra then its a winner.

Loading time reduction would be a godsend really. I'd argue it'll be a more noticeable/significant change than the graphics jump

For once I don't really care for the horsepower, although paradoxically I do, but for different reasons other than the conventional "It's gotta do 60fps and 4k" shite. For me, the current generation would go down as a failure as far as actual games go (remakes, remasters, early access sold as full price, micro transactions, you name it), if it weren't for Sony taking a massive gamble on VR, which has proven to have paid off for them massively, so much so, this new system is being tailored for it. Some might think I'm talking shite here, but this is a system built around VR, rather than VR being built for it, and the early indication with the hardware, and words straight from the horse's mouth indicate it to be as such. The backward compatibility technology is a defining factor and is the biggest feature on it. Ultimately it's the games - as usual - that should do the talking, and really, this is where the entire industry needs to get its act together. If there's a tonne of the usual bollocks like Assassins Creeds, Fifa's, Call of Dutys etc etc that are being used to sell these things, then they can keep them. I'll be waiting to see what the specs are on their new headset, because that's what excites me the most about the console.

All sounds good. The One X has clearly changed the market and Sony will want to blow anything MS does out the water. I think we'll see similar specs in both consoles and I'm guessing the 1st proper reveal will be this year's E3 with next year's being the full reveal for a October/November release date

8K is ridiculous though. Focus on getting 4k/60fps looking as good as it can with loading times reduced. The improvement in the Spider-man example is a perfect thing they ought to be focusing on. Getting the games looking fantastic but performing to their absolute max. It's gonna be a good generation

They're probably saving the PS5 reveal for PlayStation Experience. They'll want to make it a big one seems as they didn't hold one last year.

Original fat PS3 was BC. Reason PS4 wasn't was because PS3 used the cell processor and with PS4 they went X86 traditional off the shelf cpu with some custom additions. They are still using that same architecture with PS5 so no reason why it wouldn't be backwards compatible. Obviously you had remastereds this gen or enhanced additions. Theres a good chance that will still happen next gen when you look at the release dates of TLOU2 and Death Stranding, still in theory the PS4 releases should be compatible.

You obviously know more about this than me. I just remember Sony promising backwards compatibility at least since ps3. I don’t get the point anyway. There has been several high quality remasters on the ps4

Yeah I’d take remasters over playing the original game via backwards comparability to be honest.

I haven’t played it yet but Resident Evil 2 Remake sounds fantastic.

Backwards compatibility on Xbox One X sorta does both. Something I'm hoping for and think will get is that every PS4 game played on a PS5 gets enhanced graphics/performance. At the very minimum regular PS4 owners like myself can get the Pro version of the game

Would be good if they offered a remastered version, and if you own the game a patch to ‘upgrade’ it to the remastered version.

If you have a regular PS4, when you put your disc in a PS5 I'm sure you'll get the Pro version so it's like a free upgrade

Usually buy physical copies as you can still trade them in. Not that I ever do ;D but in theory.

Playstations tend to always have slow starts so I don't think we'll see any heavy hitters. Maybe Ghost, TLOU2 and Death Stranding will be crossgen

TLOU 2

Pretty sure that will launch on PS4 but will probably get a PS5 release. Similar to the first.

I think Horizon Zero Dawn 2 will be a lunch title. Guerilla released a launch title for PS4, they are known to be working on
a sequel and it would be 3 and a half years since the first one when PS5 drops.

Aye, there were rumours that the next fighting game was going to be another Fight Night.

Hoping it’s true.
