Sony PS4 #11: "Oh crap" - Nathan Drake

[SolidSnakeUS]

I know it's been talked about, wasn't sure if it was official. Lots of rumours tend to get thrown around about new consoles.

I remember the days when the NX was rumoured to be the most powerful console ever.

The thing is with this, is that the PS4 and PS5 share the same x86 architecture, so backward compatibility should be basically inherent. It's like playing the same game on one PC, then upgrading your parts, and you just load it back up, but with better settings.

The ps5 controller should come with paddles out of the box. That shouldn't come with the pro/elite controllers.

I don't think it's that simple but I'm sure it makes it much easier at the very least.

I fully expect some announcements of Sony first party titles that'll come to both systems, like a Horizon Zero Dawn 2 or God of War 2, when they show off the thing for the first time. I'm guessing it'll have two SKUs with size of hard drive being the only difference. I'll go 399 for a 2TB and 499 for a 5TB.

A 5TB SSD is going to be a lot more expensive than that.

 

[aleshemsky83]

I'd bet it'll be a 1 tb and 2 terabyte. 1 terabyte SSDs are actually relatively affordable now (in the $100 dollar range) I'll bet they'll be even cheaper in a year's time.

PlayStation 5 Confirmed To Sport 8 Cores / 16 Threads CPU; Full Reveal Coming Next Year

Was the ps4 already announced when they pushed out the PS3 Super Slim? I'm thinking they might do something like that, release a ps4 super slim 500gb for like 200 bucks with a couple of Sony games.

Sounds good to me. I'll probably buy a PS5 when it debuts, though I'm interested what new games (i.e. not ports) there will be at launch.

If you haven't noticed Sony pulled all things Facebook from the console.

Facebook made them due to some privacy policy changes. It will most likely go back up eventually.

By the way, its most likely too late for most people, since the update has been pushed already, but for anyone on the psnow free trial still, if you disconnect from the internet (assuming you haven't already updated your ps4) any non-streaming games you have downloaded (ps4 and ps2 emulated games) will never expire and you can play them for as long as you want.

Just to clarify so people dont ask, this isn't me forgetting to turn off recurring billing, its a real glitch, you can play the games for as long as you want as long as you dont update your playstation.

Ive heard speculation that the PS5 storage will be non-replaceable, like buying an iphone or whatever. So if you get the 1 TB model thats what you're stuck with.

Considering the drive was replaceable in the PS3 and PS4, this would be monumentally stupid. Especially considering the low storage space of these drives compares the ever growing size of games. Destiny 2, RDR2 and Hitman 2 are all around 140 to 150 gigs each. Yeah, f*** that.

 

[Jovavic]

That would a misstep but if they still allow external drives then you're not totally stuck.

If you have PSVUE, run it through a Roku. The picture is better.

Unfortunately, it seems likely if the flash memory is accessed through PCIe. You won't be able to add an external drive through USB and reach the same IO speeds.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

To add on to the fact that you can't upgrade your own f***ing drive would be f***ing stupid, the new COD requires 175GB on space as a requirement... holy f***ing shit...

 

[Jovavic]

If you can't have a new drive then it better be f***ing huge, and push developers to have the custom installs.

You can add your own external drive. (4TB max) They're not going to omit this from their new console release unless they're going cloud with all their games.

Custom installs did seem to be what Cerny was talking about, but yea, hopefully that doesn't just end up being for some games if the devs choose to do it.

Just here to express my absolute excitement for Death Stranding. Haven’t preordered a game in years but I did with this, confident I won’t be let down

Edit: New release date is now May 29, 2020

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Fine by me, honestly. Take all the time you need to make it amazing.

Funny enough PS Vue comments, they are shutting it down in January

Tried it once 2 years ago and found it extremely clunky. Wasnt worth it.

 

[Pilky01]

Waiting to buy consoles is just so great.

 

[Jovavic]

That's a steal, moreso if it's the Slim with 1TB
