Sony engineer told what will be the PlayStation console and 5 when her wait

Details about the new stuffing, emphasis on sound, compatibility with games for the PS4 and beyond.

Mark Cerny (Mark Cerny), engineer and game designer Sony, gave an exclusive interview edition of Wired, in which he told me what to expect from the next console PlayStation. Among the words he did not confine himself, showing itself in action and maids. Note the most important thing in his words.

• Name PlayStation 5 is open to question. Czerny himself avoids naming it, saying, "the next-generation console."
• The new console - not so much an evolution as a revolution. It is a new "box".
• The "heart" of the device will be 8-core AMD Zen 2 nm process technology 7 and graphics at Navi base with support ray tracing (ray-tracing) and 8K resolution.
• AMD chip includes a special unit for the 3D-sound, which will provide complete immersion in the gaming experience even without the additional external speakers - enough of the TV speakers.
• The main change can be a new hard drive, which allows to considerably reduce the download speed in games. To demonstrate Mobiles launched the latest Spider-Man on PS4 Pro and chose the quick movement on the location. Download the new zone took 15 seconds. In the case of the new console devkitom it took 0.8 seconds.

• Acceleration will be observed in everything that requires downloading large files - to reduce the time in the lobby multiplayer games will be instantly immersed games weighing under 100 GB as Red Dead Redemption 2.
• Next console will be compatible with the current headset PlayStation VR. The scope of virtual reality remains a priority for Sony.
• External media games will continue to be maintained, that is, the drive will continue. The same will be backward compatible with games for the PS4.
• The transition to the next generation of consoles will be gradual, because some time many new products will be released in two versions: for PS4 and PS5.
• At E3 in June on the console will not tell anything - Sony is not the first time come up with a great presentation. Furthermore, the console is not exactly will be on sale this year. However, a number of studios are already working with devkitami preparing to release a new game device.

Summing up, we note that Czerny told not wait for the new console sales this year, but that does not mean that its announcement will take place only in the next. Just imagine PlayStation 5 are at the end of 2019, but will buy it only in 2020.
