Games won't have full RT not even at 30fps... real RT is taxing as hell, it will be some specific effect like we have already seen with RTX, nothing more.

Whoa shit I missed this detail!
4k movie support is awesome! 4k movies are amazing. Best way to watch a movie if you have the screen/sound for it.
Got the chance to read the full thing earlier.
Everything sounds juicy.
That Bluepoint drop was unexpected heat.

Guess I better start saving up so I can get the best bundle that'll be available at the time.
Mostly every comment here are throwing shade @ Sony; well, they didn't have to confirm anything. There's some neat technical details & even developer responses too.
Idk why everyone isn't excited. 2020 will be incredible for gamers!

So it sounds like they are rolling out PS5 details every 6 months
Guess we'll get the big reveal in April or May next year

I'm fully prepared for 500 given the specs. And it will be likely worth it unlike the PS3 at launch.
For what the PS3 was offering it was definitely worth it at launch from a hardware perspective.
My only worry is how we'll be able to expand our storage. Traditionally they never give enough and given it's custom I doubt we'll just be able to run out and buy a bigger drive.
Nope, it will do fine at $499. $599 would be pushing it.
Unless adaptive triggers can be turned off or be used to make trigger presses much easier, it sounds absolutely horrible for disabled people like me with weak or weakening hands. Also it seems like all buttons will be like that? A heavier controller too? Jesus...
Is really anyone still expecting next gen consoles to cost $399?
Guys you don't have to worry about PS4 games being improved on PS5. Most of the new games on PS4 are all running dynamic resolution, meaning that when the ps5 comes out, it will run the games all pushed to native 4K. Devs right now have been given info from Sony to use dynamic resolutions, so that it will hit native 4K on PS5, without needing a patch.
I think it's a great feature and it will undoubtedly lead to some innovative design ideas and a greater sense of immersion but yeah, they will have to include accessibility options for it. Either at the system level or they'll have to make it mandatory for every developer to include in their games. As for the weight, they've said that it'll still be lighter than the current Xbox controllers so it should be fine.
Would be cool if Rocket League would let you jump straight into matchmaking for whatever gameplay type you choose. Straight into a ranked match, bypass the menu.. for all the 3 seconds that will save you it will be a cool feature, especially since presumably the game will literally load into that in a second or two..
Wasn't Apple working on a touch screen that could simulate texture, and temperatures?
That would be revolutionary imo, I wish we had something like that on the handles.

heavens forbid. $399 will result in a compromised console, especially now there's an expensive (minimum) 1TB SSD in there.
I hope they land at $499 so we get real powerful stuff.
Chatting with some birds, I had to troll them for being forced to refactor their entire rendering engine around this "paged" system SSD just to get more content within a scene. Again, we are trying to adjust to the hardware that's only going to be relevant for 6yrs at most. If I were one of the head players, I'd make 2 code bases on our graphics engine. 1) for the current PS5 and all of it's unorthodox hardware to get around price limitations and 2) a full on engine that uses brute force high memory, enhanced subsystems and tomorrow's GPU architecture for when they will inevitably have to switch back over once the price of hardware drops to managable levels. No way I'm refactoring my engine with every release. That's nuts!!
Yeah, didn't expect the sudden quote from Bluepoint in there too when I was reading it.
Also beyond the great hardware and controller info that more live UI and modular installs sounds great too.
Yeah, I love my 4K blu-rays on my OLED.
And maybe it will possible to do better and use an external SSD as storage the transfer will be faster.
Can someone explain what he means here in simpler terms? Interesting post
Man, next gen is going to be absolutely insane, and the DS5 sounds like it's going to be amazing with the tactile feedback. I usually turn off rumble on the system level, but the new stuff sounds really good.
Really curious to see what MS is bringing to the table now

I imagine if you're talking about bells and whistles but with HW that can deliver high end gaming I'd wager 500 is fair game.
People nowadays pay $1k for a phone, so I don't think launching at a price point higher than $399 will hurt sales. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'd happily pay more than $399 if it means the PS5 is super powerful, runs cool, quiet and doesn't sound like a jet taking off.
Agreed.
With what they're putting in these boxes, it will be worth the $499.
Yea. I also remember Cerny saying something to the effect of the technology in the box will be worth what it will cost.
I think $449 to $499, probably the latter.
The original Playstation launched at $299 in 1995. Adjusted for inflation, that's $503 now.
$500 in 2020 is a perfectly reasonable price tag.
It'll launch at 499 and sell out the first 6 to 8 months. Then get some inventory and become low stock again with holiday 2021 promotion.
Probably coming early 2020.
They still have a lot of info to release.
