I'm curious to feel the new types of feedback in the controller since the Switch's HD rumble has been a dud for the most part. I'm glad they're not changing too much about it so far. Glad to hear the speaker is back and is even better, so I'm hoping that means the touchpad also returns.
Have you been living in the jungle for the past year? BC was one of the first things confirmed.
Good. The info is all that matters. Fast and straight to the point.
Unless the scarlett is called xbox 10, then the PlayStation naming structure is not so perfect.
Oooh. So the haptic/force-feedback stuff in triggers that was patented as part of the VR controller patents are making it into the standard gamepad? That is cool. It can apply a force in the opposite direction to your 'push'. One of the examples given in the patents was a tension on a trigger, or to give the sensation of a trigger 'snapping'/breaking, by applying resistance to stop you pulling the trigger any further, and then suddenly releasing it so the trigger suddenly 'gives'.
edit - by the description in the Wired article, it sounds like another bit of r&d that appeared in a patent application might be getting employed - haptic feedback through the analog sticks. Giving different feel to different motion. " On ice, a high-frequency response made the thumbsticks really feel like my character was gliding. "

Nah mate.
This sort of general tech is perfect for a random Tuesday drop.
Anniversary period or conferences are time to see ACTUAL software.
It will make the PS5 easy to ignore in my opinion
I don't get why people want to start a new gen with a remaster
Don't you want as many new games and some new IP as is possible?
They confirmed it back in april https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/16/...s-ray-tracing-ssds-ps4-backward-compatibility
It's definitely a big deal for me since I've only gone more and more digital.
So far, so good for Playstation fans out there. I'm just waiting for Jim Ryan to go full Jim Ryan.
sigh.

They will do a PS5 reveal event before E3. It will be interesting to see if they show up at E3 later. I kinda wonder if they'll show only to do some sort of leap frog on nextbox as they did on XBO.
It just seems weird to me that Sony would give away the price advantage that worked so well for them with the PS4. I guess we'll find the price out soon.
It's interesting that they don't say anything about the battery life of the new controller, that's the only real upgrade I need going from the DS4.
There is PSX right this year or has that not actually been announced? Otherwise when they announce the price sometime in March next year I reckon.
Man I don't even know what the fuck Ray Tracing is. I've googled it before and I still don't get it lmao.
I won't understand how much of a leap next-gen is until I see a gameplay demo.

More battery and no light bar
Or I'll need to tape that shit up again
I'm hoping we see SW Battlefront 3 launch with this next year. Then we can see some real Rey tracing.
I'm guessing they're doing this so early to get ahead of any leaks. IIRC last time Giant Bomb basically posted a full breakdown of what the PS4 hardware would be like, so doing it like this basically makes any future leaks that aren't game related less significant and they control the message.
I wonder when the full reveal will be, though. March?

Why should they do one big dump while they can trickle and have multiple newscycles about the new info throughout the year?
Who would have guessed the name... lol
Excited to see it being confirmed for the holidays!! Can't wait to know more

They'll hold a press conference for the substantial stuff. Like the console itself, the games that we're going to see as well as specific hardware details. The stuff they're saying here is largely generic.
Those of you wondering why information like this is dropped on a Tuesday, just think about who actually cares about details like this. People who are avidly into gaming and care enough to visit a forum like this on a daily basis, probably. For the masses, this is just side chatter. Why not, then, release a few details like this on a Tuesday and save the important things that most of the general public cares about for a bigger event?
and thats all it needs to be until the reveal the system its self in physical form.
It might sound backwards to some, but PS should follow MS's lead and allow batteries in their controllers. Enloops are great.

Fuck, there goes any hope I had for an Astro Bot sequel... :(
Thanks for the link. Also a big deal and large selling point for me honestly.
That makes two of us. I've watched videos and I have no fucking clue what it is and does unfortunately.
Fuck yeah...
