PlayStation 5: Sony reveals first details of next-gen console Sony has finally released the first details about its next PlayStation console. Gamers have been waiting patiently to find out any information about PS4's replacement, but until now details have been kept firmly under wraps. Now Sony's system architect Mark Cerny has released information about what the "next-gen console" will look like. In an interview with Wired, he reveals it will be much faster, more powerful and include improved audio. But don't expect to be able to buy one in 2019 - you'll have to wait until at least next year to see it on shelves. Below, we outline all the new details we know about the PlayStation 5 so far, as well as the questions we still want answered. Much faster loading times Good news for avid PlayStation users - the new console will include a high-speed solid-state hard drive (SSD). While that won't mean much to a lot of people, the point of the SSD is to dramatically reduce things like loading times - which will make everyone's gaming experience a bit better. For example, when playing Spider-Man on a PS4 it can take 15 seconds to fast travel between different locations. Cerny gave Wired a demonstration that showed the same task taking just 0.8 seconds on the new machine. "No matter how powered up you get as Spider-Man, you can never go any faster than this," he says about the PlayStation 4. "That's simply how fast we can get the data off the hard drive." Improved audio Another big focus for the next-gen console is 3D audio. Cerny tells Wired that as a gamer himself he was left frustrated that there wasn't much change in audio between PS3 and PS4. "With the next console the dream is to show how dramatically different the audio experience can be," he says. PS5 (which isn't the official name of the new console) will see gamers being immersed in audio from above, behind and from the side, according to Cerny, and will be experienced best through headphones. Enhanced visual experience The next PlayStation supports ray-tracing graphics - the first time a game console has ever managed graphics like it, Cerny says. They're usually used in Hollywood special effects, and occasionally in high-end processors. It means users of the next-gen PlayStation will receive much better, and more realistic, visuals. It's also worth noting that while the PS5 will have all of these improvements, you don't need to worry about compatibility with PS4 games. The new console will still take physical discs, and gamers can still play PlayStation 4 games on the new console. What we don't know All the details that have been released so far are about hardware. We still don't know: When it will be released - although Cerny says it won't be this year, so don't expect to get your hands on one in 2019. How much it will cost. The name of the console. It's already being dubbed the PlayStation 5, but Cerny hasn't confirmed its official name - yet. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-47953213

So another thread on another forum got me wondering this question yet again. What's yours? I first became aware of online gaming with Halo 2, now I didn't ever get to play this online because back then we probably couldn't afford the subscription, or we just generally didn't understand how it worked. I believe we did look in to it but in the end it wasn't achieved. During this time we had older consoles and even an W98 PC. While the PC could access the internet, we usually played offline games, installing from discs and all that good stuff. I can't fully remember when the journey started and I can't be 100% certain that it planned out this way, although I'm probably 90% sure. The first time I got to experience online gaming was on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. This was early in 2005 and we still didn't have a great connection to the internet. I was plagued by the common network error message of the time but I never let it put me off. Later on, one of the first times I got to experience an FPS in first-person mode was a mod made for Enemy Territory, it was called TrueCombatElite (still going today). It was an overhaul of the game and truly transformed the experience for me. Not long after starting ET, I discovered Americas Army. What a time this was, the game was around 1GB but back then due to my connection, it would take me an entire day to download the game. Due to this I downloaded the game overnight, the first time I did this I made the mistake of letting my screen go to sleep. I woke up super gutted to find out that the download had failed, luckily it worked on the second attempt. Console wise I don't remember, I believe it was some game on the PS3. I have recently found the old ET website I signed up on, using my old and now inaccessible ntlworld.com email address and a very simple, basic password I used for everything. I joined Feb 25th, 2005. So by this time I would have been 14. It was either this or possible early RuneScape but it fails my mind when I started playing this, I know it was before 2006 (this is when I switched to WoW)

I’ve had an idea which could be worthy of a video...Phil gets a group of us noobs together and teaches us to fly..all at once in the same space! That would be brutal! 😂😂

The Forever Gaming Intelligence or The FGI for short What's Freelancers main objective @phil bottle? I'd go with exploration and potentially bounty hunters if we were able to pretty active.

Happy burfday Dave! Enjoy!

Im playing regularly, tbh not interested in the leviathan but wouldn't mind trying the newish one again sober, however a set amount of time might be a good option. Obviously with work it's im only free on a weekend

Meh.

Funnily enough, @Plumbers Crack was asking about this the other day. Looks like when 3.5 drops you will actually be able to go back to your room

I can take a look at it for sure. Audacity is the software you need (free).

Welcome. Make a new thread and tell us a little about yourself mate 🙂

I’m building towards the draconic evolution armour and tools. Which alone takes stacks of materials and billions of RF (yes, with a ‘B’). For example, just to make 4 awakened blocks which is only part of the recipe takes 350 million RF. Nevermind all the RF that goes in to itber draconic crafting or all the power required getting the nether stars, draconic ingots or that goes in to making high powered solar panels, reactors, generators etc. Then once you’ve made the armour and tools, it takes 500+ million RF to charge them all. So you see why I built a powerful but exploding reactor before I think I’ll take things slower and safer this time though. I don’t want to rebuild a third time! Yeah modded is a little more complicated than vanilla. It’s why I like it, it is more involved and interesting this way.

hi to all. im new here. 😊

If I’m about I’ll jump in...haven’t done any current season raids and didn’t finish Leviathan

What are you planning to build with all these resources and energy....something big?

A little tour of my world so far

It really annoys me that you can lose functionality of a game.

I hope they decide to discount everything in the store then. I still wouldn't mind picking up the last few pieces of DLC I haven't purchased.

Maybe so, but somewhere down the road you might eventually get it, and you don't want to be stuck in an organisation that has been named by Diddums. Seriously [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Diablo 2 (PC) CoD: 3 ( Xbox) CoD: 4 MW & then all the CoDs (360) - This is when I joined MW2Forum.com (origin of FG during the MW2 days.) Minecraft (PC) Destiny (PS4) League of Legends (PC) I don't play online that much these days. Not a whole lot of free time.

It all started with Delta Force 2 on PC. I played for one of the best teams in North America where we participated in the Black Flag League (BFL) Diablo 1 and 2 were in there somewhere. Loved running hacks on D1 that let me attack people in town, and D2 was a serious obsession. Starcraft Brood War, Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne filled a lot of the gaps in here. Guild Wars, I focused on the competitive Guild vs Guild (GvG) scene. (This is where the Plastic name came from) Left 4 Dead on Xbox 360. Played exclusively on MLG's Gamebattles. League of Legends. I played the beta, took the game very seriously and competed against a lot of folks who know founded some of the most prestigious organizations in esports. I love the game to death but Christ do they have the worst community in all of gaming, hands down. My first big MMO since I missed out on the WoW craze was SW:TOR. Huge into progression raiding and we server sever No. 2. (Powertech Tank all day!) Hearthstone. Ran a local chapter of fireside gatherings in Dallas Texas, and almost qualified for the first Blizzcon hearthstone event. (lost in the Zotac cup) Starcraft 2 was in here somewhere. Destiny. Founder a small clan, Ishtar Electric Company which is where I met Tigerburge. (We had him in one of our pug groups) Joined you guys! Rainbow Six Siege, which is my focus to this day. Overwatch here and there. Magic The Gathering: Arena TL:DR I have to find a game I can play against others or compete in/ have a team goal.
