For the first time in its history in the video game, Sony will not participate in E3, the big annual trade show of the industry. But the inventor of the PlayStation does not intend to leave the media free to its rivals Microsoft and Nintendo. On Tuesday, Sony revealed the first technical details on its future console, the PlayStation 5 in the magazine high-tech american Wired. It teaches you that the teams of Mark Cerny, already maneuvering in the creation of the PlayStation 4, have been working for four years on this new machine. It will, however, be patient. The PlayStation 5 will not come out at best before 2020.
The most notable change for players will be at the level of the hard drive. The one that will power the PlayStation 5 will be much faster and will drastically reduce the waiting time in the course of playing a video game. Mark Cerny was demonstrated to Wired with the game Spider-Man . On PlayStation 4, the player must wait 15 seconds to see his character teleport to the other end of New York when he activates the “fast travel”. With the PlayStation 5, this waiting time is reduced to one second. A priori, we should also be able to say goodbye to lengthy setup times of the games on the hard drive.
Other good news for players, the PlayStation 5 will be able to play the games of PlayStation 4. We will be able to resell or offer his old console without regret. Mark Cerny also says that the headset virtual reality PlayStation VR will work on the PlayStation 5. “I’m not going to say anything more about our strategy around virtual reality, if this is to stress that the VR remains an important technology for us,” says Mark Cerny.
A Xbox One without a disc drive
in terms of power, the new console will be technically capable of displaying graphics in 8K. Sony renews its trust in AMD, which will again provide the processor of the PlayStation 5. Mark Cerny also highlights the progress that the new console will bring to the level of the sound. The latter will be much more immersive and spatial, even if we don’t have a home theater speaker. Mark Cerny is recommended that you play with a headset to take advantage of this novelty.
what online services will the PlayStation 5? What games will come out? What will be the price of the console? It will still wait for the answer to these questions. Only certainty for the moment, the PlayStation 5 will have a dvd and BluRay will continue to accept the games in physical format. A “phew” of relief to the large-scale distribution, which does not want to lose the hand on the sale of video games.
Microsoft, to him, is testing a console fully digitized. Its “Xbox One’s All-Digital Edition” (which had already become famous by the internet users ‘Xbox SAD”, or “Xbox, sad”), will be released may 7, and will have no disc drive. To play, so you will need to purchase and download its games via the Microsoft platform, the Xbox Live. The lack of a Blu-Ray player allows you to lower the price of the console, marketed 249 € instead of 299 € for the Xbox One S a classic. Three games are also included in the hard drive of the console: Minecraft, the Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 3 .
in the past, Sony had also tested the all digital in 2009 with the portable console PSP GO. The manufacture of the latter had been arrested two years later for lack of success. Some specialty retailers have refused to put this machine in their linear. Because have download its games, it means not to go in-store… retailers have since adapted to the digitization rampant in the video game. You can buy download codes for a selection of securities, and prepaid cards to credit their account online. A service which is indispensable for teenagers, who do not have credit card and did not necessarily want to depend on those of their parents.
