Sony’s Senior Vice president and Director of Business Unit 1 Masayasu Ito isn’t as well known as Shuhei Yoshida between PlayStation fans, given his technical role he’s the best person to ask about some of the most technical aspects of the upcoming PS4. Today he gaver some extremely interesting information about some of the consoles more technical aspects.
From Gematsu: "Masayasu Ito will resign as representative director and deputy president of Sony Interactive Entertainment on October 1, and current director and deputy president Lin Tao will replace Ito, the company announced.
Kiichiro Urata, the head of Japan Asia partner development and relations for Sony Interactive Entertainment, will also be appointed company director."
Should hear the people there, wonder if the mentally ill here is gonna blame a certain someone with conspiracy
Sony is getting further and further away from doing anything right. I fear that after I play God of War Ragnarok my PS5 will be collecting dust. Lin Tao and Kiichiro Urata are both terrible for these positions. They should have learned some lessons this year, especially considering that Phil Spencer is taking Xbox all the way to the top. Even sales of the PS5 are weak in Japan. Pathetic.
So Ito will be transferred to Sony's electric vehicle division? That's a hell of a transition from Interactive Entertainment. I wish Ito well.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's Nishino, Morisawa and Itou discuss the PS5 UI, design and hardware in this interview.
Bring back themes I need to make my home screen my own + I bought loads of themes on ps4 I would like to bring to ps5 as I own them just like with the games.
Sony executives talk about 1440p resolution support and potential VR solutions.
Playstation consoles since day one are already awesome, but one thing imo that only Playstation consoles do is it gets even better over time, so adding some features like this one is pretty much a sure a thing. ;)
They want to focus on TVs, “I hope that PS5 will have a VR experience suitable for the PS5." No plans on a browser.
It's a maybe on 1440p. They had a VR controller patent last September.
“ First of all, we hear from Ito-san that there is no technical issue preventing the console from supporting 1440p resolution, with Nishino-san adding that Sony wanted to give top priority to supporting TVs [over monitors].”
Well then, can definitely see them adding this later. I remember PS3 launching with no in-game messaging and PS4 without a YouTube app. Such is the history of launch years.
I love how Sony likes to tell people what they want or need. No excuse for not having 1440p available at launch since, as he said, no technical limitation. There are a lot of games that play xbox/pc on monitors with 1440p resolution, in fact, most people don't have a 4k TV yet. I do, does not affect me, but typical Sony bs.
So ready for this bad boy.Less than 2 months 2 go :).
Edit:Gonna spend about the first 5 minutes just getting high off the new scented smell :D.

I wanna see the OS performance and how quickly the system can handle tasks. I really hate the SLOW updates on my ps3 and i would love to see a huge improvement on my ps4.
I like this quote. "The theme of the PS4 is “Personalization”, meaning that it will offer an experience tailored to each individual."
