I agree. Now that we're getting a big boost in CPU and GPU (something you can't say about this gen) simulations will get significantly more realistic.
I'm guessing smaller games (like sports, racing, or maybe even shooters like COD) will run at cb4K or 1080p 120fps. It's the mid-gen consoles that kind of suffer with 4K/30.
I think the launch line up will be
I doubt we will get remasters and instead will see patches.
New IP
Some new IP, new 3rd party games, and propped up BC PS4 games. TLoU II will get a lot of attention, for example.
Never mind just launch titles. If Sony has a first party lineup like this gen then we could be looking at the best PlayStation ever!
I mean. All of their ps4 first party games would be part of their "launch lineup" by that logic
True, it counts. :P
I expect like one new ps5 game. Then assassins creed god of war version. I really really hope next gen isn't this crazy cross gen thing. People are ready for a new gen.
Sony alone will provide more than 1 new PS5 game. I wouldn't be concerned.
I'm not sure why we would say anything is "artificially limited." GDDR6 is the only appreciable delta from previous gen consoles (yes, even SSD vs. HDD) because it's increase in efficiency of pJ/bit nowhere near offsets its increase in BW. The other power changes are very minor and won't/shouldn't impact SoC dissipation, budget, or heat management.
Gonzalo was the first thing that put it at 3.2 and the YouTuber that did a "building the PS5" test video found that it was about 30watts at 3.2Ghz which is a very console friendly figure.
It'll probably be support like the Xbox One currently supports it, as an output value but not natively rendered at that rate. DF said that Sekiro was smoother on Xbox One X because of it if you had a proper display since there's more frames that evenly fit into 120Hz than 60Hz
Horizon 2 should be a launch window game. It'll have been nearly 4 years since the last when the PS5 launches.
You know you can make screenshots with winKey+ G with Windows 10 from games?Forza Horizon 4, I can lock 60 FPS with power consumption averaging 105w, and peaking @120w when undervolted and downclocked.
With stock GPU Settings Peak Power is 214w, and average is around 190w
Stock Settings:
Downlocked and Undervolted

Killzone? I think you would get escorted off the premises at Guerilla if you tried to pitch a Killzone game immediately after Horizon.
What will be interesting is the capacity and whether or not external drives will be supported. If a game is designed for a super fast SSD how will a game running off the external work? Do you have to swap it with a game on the internal SSD to play it? Or do you just get current gen load times and LOD pop-in?
I thought the baseline now was 90-100 MB/s?
So 40 CUs at 16.5 ghz are at 104w. 124max.
There is no way they will allow you to play games off of an HDD. That would completely go against the idea that an insanely fast SSD is the baseline. Either they will manage game storage themselves, meaning one game gets kicked off the SSD to make room for a game from an HDD, or you need to swap them yourself. I can't see a game designed around 5gb/s data transfer to run on a 50mb/s HDD. Imagine having the beefiest PC in the world, but installing windows to a slow-ass bargain SD-card. The whole system would break apart.
Sony's first party games will once again be technologically superior to Microsoft's.
I mean Microsoft did just acquire a bunch of studios so who knows what their games will be like. If Sony has a superior SSD (more likely) or a superior GPU (or both) then yes, Sony's studios will probably crush Microsofts.
