well, very typical of Sony

we don't see any innovation in the next gen console

everything is just faster & prettier & bigger

But I applaud them on the usage of the high speed SSD, instead of just putting in a normal SSD. It seems the high speed SSD is a lot more faster than those currently available in PC market, Spiderman loading time decrease from 15s to less than 1s is a great feat. I hope no more long waiting/loading time in the new PS5 games to come.
But using SSD also gonna be a obstacle as well, it's still relatively expensive now(yes, it's getting cheaper) in dollar per gig, so I expect Sony won't be throwing in a 1Tb high speed SSD, probably a hybrid system, a smaller SSD for game loading, and a backup 1Tb or more normal HDD for game storage, similar to PC's practice.

On the prettier part, faster GPU with ray tracing, more realistic games, more eye candies, nothing much to look forward to as gamers beside prettier games, but for the dev it's a big deal, it seems ray tracing is easier to do and less GPU intensive compared to the traditional rasterization.

and 8K? 8K display is rare, and uncommon, not to mention finding a 8K content to go with it, the progression from 4k to 8k is extremely slow. I doubt it gonna kick off during PS5's time.

1. Doubt so, all this while DS aren't backward compatible at all, except the wand, so I think it will be the same with DS5, don't forget it's Sony, they'll be capitalizing on the selling the new accessories like DS5 kau-kau
But I'm hoping for longer batt life, DS4 has the poorest batt life in all 3 current gen consoles
I hop they'll remove some of the "useless" feature of DS4, like the mini speaker and the touch pad (hardly any games utilized them anymore), but since they are going for backward compatible, guess they'll be staying

2. External HDD support should be still there, like you said, no way they gonna throw in a big capacity high speed SSD

3. Should still the same, 2 PS4 games & 2 PS5 games as monthly IGC perhaps?

4. New Pro is quieter, it's more of their own manufacturing issue, my Pro's CPU was found without full thermal paste (inferior paste also) coverage, I reapplied and it's not as loud as before.

but I'll doubt there gonna be 100% backward compatibility

take XB1 example of X360 games backward compatibility, it's not all are compatible, MS still need to work on the older games to make it compatible

Big games from major studio or Sony's own pretty much will be guaranteed backward compatible, but smaller games from smaller studios? don't bet on it

What MS did with XB1's backward compatibility is a very diff case compared to PS3

For PS5, that's very very unlikely due to architect difference between PS3 and PS4/PS5
Doubt Sony gonna invest in developing an PS3 emulator just to have backward compatibility for PS3 games

future gen gaming will be GaaS (Game as a Service) based in cloud, there's no escape from it as time goes by and the tech matured

MS released a dickless diskless XboxOne, Google is already going ahead with it's Stadia, while Sony already had it's PS Now years back

So I won't be surprised if PS Now will be available worldwide when PS5 is launched

Who knows? we might even get different tier of PS+ subscription, like PS+ Silver just for online gaming, PS+ Gold for online + IGC, and PS+ Platinum for online + IGC + PS Now?

Judging from Sony past track records?
I'll bet you they sure will!
another sure thing is there gonna be PS5 Slim

since they will give you the choice of options for modular installation like multiplayer or campaign only, don't expect the SSD to be too big
I would expect the standard spec comes with maximum 500Gb SSD only
or even 256Gb if they decided to be cheapskate about it

and for the type of the SSD? I'll bet it gonna be a PCIE 3.0 x4 M.2 NVME SSD in order to bring the cost down
but who knows, it could be a faster & more expensive PCIE 4.0 x8 M.2 NVME SSD?

meh announcement, nothing that we don't know yet

unless you're aiming for top of the range, flagship TV models, don't bother to look for HDMI 2.1 in normal TV range
native refresh rate for most 4K TVs are 60Hz only, you won't get any benefits even it came with HDMI 2.1

and for monitor, 4K monitors are very expensive as well, a 4K/144Hz monitor still pretty rare nowadays in M'sia

IMO, any mid range branded 4K TV should be good enough for PS5, aim for Samsung, LG or Sony

E3 is dying anyway, a lot of major brands are skipping E3

also could be due to MS is very likely to showcase their new XSeX with a playable demo unit while Sony isn't ready to showcase PS5
joining E3 without a PS5 while Xbox has a playable demo is gonna be a disaster for Sony
no point joining MS in the pissing contest when they're not ready, also could be one of the marketing tactics, wait for MS to announce their plan first only then reveal their own plan to counter it

just wait for TGS in Sept, I think there should be a playable demo set by then, with an infinite long queue to it

they already committed to this year end holiday launch for PS5, they can't afford a delay, else they'll face a major shit storms from both fans & investors :lol：
if they missed the year end holiday sales rush, the next possible launch date gonna be somewhere in march 2021

if they still have nothing to show, or at least a physical console look after E3, we can be pretty sure Sony is having some problem there
or maybe they just wanna avoid another "boomerang controller" fiasco like last time

Xbox Series X spec is a beast
lets see how Sony can counter it

Consoles in RPG role

Nintendo Switch : Wizard
Microsoft Xbox One Series X : Warrior
Sony PlayStation 5 : Rouge

bcos microsoft already abandon the Asia console market
if they can't do well in Japan & HK, which is main market in Asia, no point they launch is elsewhere too

So it won't be a DS5, but DualSense



With all those battery eating stuffs they've thrown in there, don't think it gonna have a better battery life than DS4

with no front facing light, so basically all PS Camera games that utilize the light tracking of DS4 is not backward compatible on PS5
there could be a possibility that PS Camera or even PSVR is not compatible with PS5, maybe we'll see a new PSVR2 in future also?

the touchpad & the speaker on the DS4 is waaaaaay under utilized anyway, I can't think of any recent games that actually used those two features, IMO Sony should have scrapped those two features in DualSense

LOL, the GT7 logo already proven to be a boo boo done by the cockpit maker's marketing team
don't get your hope high up so fast

won't have any expectation at all

doubt they gonna reveal the console design & pricing now

probably they'll play that game demo from unreal engine 5, spider man again, or Last of Us II
or some of the newer game that's in development like AC: Valhalla

Linus from LTT sometimes can be an ass if you've watched his channel long enough
but he did come clean by apologizing and admitting his own mistake, unlike some...

anyway, PS5 SSD undoubtedly is fast, fastest in its class is correct,
but fastest in the world is not, I wonder who actually quoted that?

PC have to manage so many stuffs at a time, especially on MS Windows PC, and please don't start on the mac vs windows again, that's another war altogether

unlike PC, consoles parts are fixed, there aren't as many components and drivers to managed, like in the video, they can just build a special customized chip just to make the SSD as efficient as possible by utilizing their console game engine/api or whatsoever, PC have to be "generic" to be able to run all of the applications/games

I'm a gamer, gamer doesn't discriminate console or PC, I played them all
