IGN: "Mark Cerny has revealed he thinks it's ludicrous how readily people are discussing whether we'll see another console generation so soon after the launch of the latest one."
Mark Cerny talks to Digital Foundry about how Dolby Atmos support made its way to PlayStation 5.
Cerny points out the advantage that DF keeps referring to as a disadvantage. Developers don't need to do anything special to have overhead sounds mapped to height speakers. It's all built in and processed lag free on existing and future PS5 games. This is obviously a superior approach imo as it works with virtually any speaker configuration.
The truth is that Atmos is superior. Plain and simple. The devil prefer it over what sony is providing. It's the standard for games, movies and music.
Ah yes Mark, becuase less channels on a watered down feature is something to geek out about. You do realize you are getting atmos light right? Not for audiophiles. Totally designed for craptastic sound systems. It's all about tagging that name for a selling point.
Mark Cerny is a true veteran of the games industry. His name might be familiar to modern gamers due to the fact that he's worked as lead architect on several of Sony's consoles – and has even had input into some of the company's major software releases, such as Knack, The Last Guardian, Marvel's Spider-Man and Death Stranding – but his career stretches back to the very early years of the games industry.
Lol, love this image...

Look at the balls on Cerny! He really does though. One of the greatest minds in the industry and knows how to get things done!
Is this available in video format? It's a damn long interview to read.. but I will, if no video
i love his breakdowns of the consoles, he explains things very well with that soothing voice ha
Jade Raymond’s new studio is reportedly set to work closely with PlayStation 5 lead system architect Mark Cerny on its debut game.
One of the ten games as a service games PlayStation mentioned?
I’m bored of how much online is playing into games now. Offline games still should exist in equal measure.
I agree with everyone who wants a slew of offline traditional games...
But.... Online games persistent ones and those with dreaded micro transactions battle passes etc make more money it as simple as that
It's a shame but those days of of purchasing a game with all content on her etc are now gone. Ironicly Nintendo are closest to old school style games
Surely you have something to share by now, concept art at the very least.
I find it really hard to get excited about a game where all I know is that it will be an online game which is not even a great selling point to me, actually makes me less excited.
PS5 is coming soon . around 2017-2018
Good. All I know is that these next consoles better be B/C.
6years max for this gen please. 8+ years was waayyy too long for last gen.
This generation should last 9 years since each game take 3 years to produce, unless people like to have TLG and FF XV situation all over again...
The way a man sees it PC gamers are always talking about how much consoles are dragging behind. That means there's still room for a big improvement. The cost of those components will eventually come down ergo we can have $400-500 consoles one day with those powerful of components and the PC will naturally go ahead paving the way for next gen.
Also we still have 4k to reach on console gaming which won't be possible for a few years at a reasonable cost. This means that once the 4k TV base is built up and the components to render games in 4k go down we can have a generation all about 4k.
Also people go where the games are. As long as devs are going to next gen hardware people will still buy it and as we saw with this generation people are willing to buy new things very quickly after 7-8 years of playing on the same console even when most games are multiplats. People buy new phones every 2 years and do basically the same thing on them as the last one. By comparison the upgrade on console generations is both cheap (because you do it far less frequently) and astronomical (because they actually improve the specs exponentially like 16x jumps in RAM) so it's a much easier sell than a new tablet or phone in a man's opinion.
