Poll: *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

No mention of it having either a standard blu ray or 4K blu ray player. Please put a 4K player in it. Not everyone has fast enough internet for 4K streaming. I imagine this PS5 console will not be cheap so why not give it all the bells and whistles.

Sounds like they may have paid off Kojima to have Death Stranding as a PS5 title, so likely sooner than later launch wise.

The full article indicates it wouldn't be a "digital only" device, so that means there will be an optical drive of some description.
From what they are promising, the cost of adding a 4k player won't add that much to an already heavy release price.

I can’t imagine they’d not put a 4K Blu Ray player in it when they’re future proofing the console up to 8K

Ooo I didn’t think of that - wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was a PS5 launch game. Surely that’d mean a 2020 release though considering how much they’re ramping up with trailers and whatnot

It's going to be cross gen by the looks of it according to some sites.

Not a chance with that suggested spec it would be under £400, however I have loved my ps4 and still do so very much looking forward to sonys next release, unless the price is crazy it will be day one for me

 

[malachi]

I'm sure Sony have learnt from the PS3 days with an expensive console. Especially now its no longer about how much raw power you can throw out there.

 

[bakes0310]

Will be getting one for sure but got a huge amount of PS4 games I need to get through plus the ones that ain't out yet. Holding off though as I need a descent TV to enjoy the games.

To be honest, I'd probably buy one straight away as long as it's under a grand.

 

[Mobius 1]

Thinking it’s gonna be £499 retail.

I barely play on my PS4, but religiously I buy each new PlayStation on launch day or as close to ever since PS1. Same will apply this time. Looking forward to next-gen VR, though not with the current headset as stated in the article. More pixels needed!

Its a good spec if you do not want to spend on a decent PC. But its got nothing useable the PC has not had for a while now tech wise so in the 2 years it takes to release its going to be more or less a true 4K 60FPS capable gaming device with higher quality textures so a PC in a console box for a slightly cheaper price. For that spec no way they sell it for less than £600-700 minimum if not even higher.

PC does not really have any games which truly push the current technology anymore. Sony will have to spend big money to make something worthwhile @ 4K 60FPS with stunning graphics. One huge issue is that it takes a lot more time & money (high 8 figures!!) to make games targeting 4K 60FPS. If the PS5 spec was locked today (it won't be!)your looking at 2-3 years before a single game would arrive which was anything more than an enhanced PS4 title with slightly better graphics & stable FPS.

Sony take my money now.And this Gen PSVR will work with it

PCIe 4.0 and flash / ram hybrid drive (rumoured). Can you get that on the pc yet?

 

[BMox81]

Chances of it having a UHD Blu-ray drive this time round?

 

[omnomnom]

I would have thought that's an absolute given.

 

[robfosters]

How the hell are they going to put in 8K capability and ray tracing for a reasonable mass market price

No games console can possibly be over £400-500. Even a £1000+ 2080Ti struggles with ray tracing.

 

[Mobius 1]

Have faith in Sony. They’ll pull it off I reckon. As I said I see the base model being £499. And perhaps larger storage options will be higher in price.

 

[robfosters]

Problem is, they might get it in, but FPS will probably be gimped to 30 yet again. Doing all this at 60fps minimum would be amazing!

They said it’ll be 60fps for 4K I believe ?
