Wired exclusive detailing some of what we can expect for the next Playstation here.
Juiciest bits:
- Zen 2 based CPU;
- Custom Navi GPU;
- Specialized SSD (for super fast load times, example given: Spider-man fast travel 15 sec to 0.8 sec);
- Backwards compatibility with PS4 games
- Custom unit for 3D audio;
- Ray tracing support;
- 8K support.
It's shaping up to be a very interesting console. Personally I wasn't expecting a SSD, but a hybrid drive, purely because of cost. The fact that they say it's a specialized SSD probably means it won't be user replaceable, which is a bit of bummer.
Still no word on pricing, of course, but I'm now more inclined to believe the rumor I read a while back about it going back up to 499. Still pretty cheap considering what you get, especially if they keep the storage space the same as the ongoing models.
I like gaming on PC because of all the extra possibilities, but the fact that I mostly play RPGs and action-adventure games, a lot of those are console ports on PC and the higher cost of hardware have me seriously thinking if rather than upgrade my ageing PC I should just wait for next gen consoles. Anyone else in the same boat? Or excited about the next gen consoles?
EDIT: Added ray tracing and 8k to the juiciest bits.
