Sony PlayStation 5 : Play Has No Limits

PS5 Release Date, PS5 Games, PS5 Power vs Xbox One X, PS5 Price Speculation - All the PS5 Info lets discuss



Here are all the rumors and speculation surrounding the PS5, including a potential PS5 release date, power, and launch games of Sony's inevitable PS5. Is the PS5 releasing in 2019?


What we Want From the PS5 Speculation aside, what would we ideally want from the PS5? Backwards compatibility for PS4 games would be brilliant, simply because you'd be able to carry over classics like the Shadow of the Colossus remake to the next console generation. We've seen how well Microsoft is handling backwards compatibility with its Xbox One consoles (including getting amazing results updating Xbox 360 games to run in 4K on Xbox One X), and something similar on PS5 would be great.

In terms of pure power, the PlayStation 5 has to significantly exceed the power of the Xbox One X. This means featuring more games running in 4K at 60FPS. If the PS5 can deliver about 10 TF of power we'd be happy, as this would allow devs to create games that look a generation ahead of what we've got now.

But what would the dream launch lineup be for the PS5? Death Stranding and The Last of Us: Part 2 are hugely anticipated blockbuster games, with the former especially looking to push the performance of whatever system it's on to the very limit. We've also mentioned Ghost of Tsushima and a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, and the latter would be the perfect way to kick off a new console cycle from Sony.

PS games dont go on sale? Like Summer sale or Winter sale on Steam?
The sales are there ofcourse, different types. But the pros of buying physical is ofcourse you get it for cheap even and then resell it to recover the cost, whereas on digital you'll be locked from doing the same.

Yes, main reason a fully digital future is not viable at this time.

So when you buy a physical copy and install, it doesnt register to a single PSN account and can be sold again multiple times to be used on multiple PSN accounts?

No, disc games don't imprint a permanent license on your profile, you need to have the disc in tray for that license to be valid. It's not like digital where it creates a permanent license on your profile.

MS wanted to do something like this at the start of the xbox one generation, that physical copies would require activation and be tied to a specific account, they wanted to eliminate the used game market. But the backlash was so severe that they abandoned it.

It led to arguably the best corporate video ever:

Yes that's true.

Morever the option provided by Sony to game publishers is that they can provide the opportunity to convert physical game of PS4 to digital PS5 game, and the requirement, confirmed as far as I know, would be to use the disc for authentication in order to play the digital copy on PS5. So one will have to keep the disc in PS5 in order to play the same game on digital format.

Yes, this is the same method used on XBO for the 360 backwards compatibility. If you have the disc in the tray, it will not just run the game off the disc, it will still download an entire new BC compatible version of the game, you just need the disc in the tray at all times for verification.

Glad I went with the lighter, more compact, and less power consuming (and probably cooler running) version of the console.
Where is this from ? Eurogamer?

In the grand scheme of things 10W doesn't mean a lot realistically :p

It's like one really good energy saver bulb.

lol yeah 10W isn't much. I'm more interested in knowing whether it has better thermals and lower fan noise as a result of there being no disc drive.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
