Mark Cerny will provide a deep dive into PS5’s system architecture tomorrow

Tomorrow at 4pm GMT / 5pm CET, PS5 lead system architect Mark Cerny provides a deep dive into PS5’s system architecture and how it will shape the future of games.

Watch tomorrow on PlayStation Blog

criticalkare1932d ago

is it in video form? or blog form?

antbolton891932d ago

it say's watch tomorrow so I'm assuming video form

Mr_cheese1932d ago

Really looking forward to this! Hope we get to see it and it isn't all specs but at this point, i'll settle with anything

bouzebbal1932d ago (Edited 1932d ago )

Here we go.. Internet meltdown incoming..
Finally some positive news on these crappy times

RpgSama1932d ago (Edited 1932d ago )

Lol, they waited until the end for MS to reveal their hand so they could show theirs, this is a great game of Poker they're playing, IF (and I mean a big IF) the Ps5 turns out to be more powerful than they Xbox Series X as some late rumors have indicated (13.3 Tflops and all the rest) it's going to be a very interesting couple of days.

GTgamer1932d ago

It's a video conference confirmed.

S2Killinit1932d ago

I have a feeling it will be marginally weaker in the graphics department (tflp). And stronger in other areas like that riddle leak suggested. But no matter, it will be the console to own looking at the history of what their devs can create.

RpgSama1932d ago

@S2Killinit

I agree, even with the 11.6 tflops rumor (or the 9tflops even) I would still go day one with the Ps5, I know the games will be there and I know what those developers can produce, Yes, MS bought a bunch of studios but most of them are unproven, just because you have great teams it doesn't mean they will immediately get great results.

morganfell1932d ago

RpgSama,

It would be interesting but that is the limit of its impact. Power is useless other than as a bragging right (which is also meaningless) without the talent to employ it.

b163o11932d ago

@criticalkare

Reading is fundamental my brother...

Edito1932d ago

@rpgSama you know what could be the biggest Microsoft hand on this wait and see game? If in the end they tell us that Series X is indeed Lockhart lol and that the anacondo is still coming after Sony shows Ps5 details hehehehe...

darthv721931d ago

Tomorrow at 9am (pacific) can't come soon enough.

indysurfn1931d ago

i'M EXPECTING ps5 TO BE AT LEAST AS POWERFUL AS THE ANNOUNCED XBOX SERIESX, BUT MOST LIKELY MORE POWERFUL. FOOLING MICROSOFT TWO REVEALS IN A ROW!!!

starchild1931d ago

Awesome. I've been waiting for this. I wonder if my PS4 Pro will still be able to play many of the upcoming games, albeit at lower quality settings. I'm going to be getting a PS5 either way, but I'm just curious.

How do Sony calm down its fans over 1st party game coming to PC? By feeding them a glimpse of the PS5. Well played.

MajorLazer1932d ago

Oh no, a 3 year old game is coming to PC. Everyone's in meltdown /s
N4G is an echochamber and accounts for like 0.00000001 percent of gamers

LegoIsAwesome1932d ago

It is called '1st party' game right? And it is coming to PC? Regardless of how many years the game had been released. Anyway, Im gonna wait when Sony decided to bring the rest of its exclusive to PC.

Oh and I got all 3 consoles plus a gaming PC, and I primarily do my gaming on PS4 so dont call me a PC Master race of whatever they call themselves.

My point is, 23 years im a ps owner for its exclusive, then they release it on PC? Lol good move. Sony following on Xbox footsteps.

S2Killinit1932d ago (Edited 1932d ago )

Dont feel bad. Its ok, while they get our crumbs, we play all the latest and greatest. (;

“I’m gonna wait until Sony decide to bring the rest of its exclusives to PC.”

Have fun waiting 3+ years.

rainslacker1931d ago

Havent seen ps fans that upset about it really. Maybe some, but it's certainly not the norm

xX-oldboy-Xx1931d ago (Edited 1931d ago )

Lego - I just read your reply, all systems and a PC and you say your going to wait for Sony to release all exclusives on PC.

What about ms who already do that? Why would you need an ms console?

Seems your intelligence is on the small side - or your just lying.

thatguyhayat1931d ago

LegolsAwesome

They clearly stated not all their first party games will come to PC just a very few will

LegoIsAwesome1931d ago

Oldboy - why do i need a xbox and a pc? Let me enlighten you. Im a editor/colorist. How can I edit and color something in an xbox?

I can take a picture of all of them just to make yo eat your words.

Unspoken1931d ago

Lol they keep moving the goals posts. Everytime Sony does something, even copying Microsoft directly, there is always a legitimate reason to do that. Im starting to see more and more where the problem of this site is rooted.

CoinOrc1931d ago

@unspoken
No one’s moving any goalpost. Porting a 3+ year old game to PC does not equal releasing games simultaneously on console and PC. I, along with many PS owners, already stated that if Sony does the same thing MS is doing, I would disapprove of it and just get a PC.

LegoIsAwesome1931d ago

@CoinOrc
As I said Im a ps owner and I take pride on the exclusives that the console I support. Then suddenly one of its exclusive, not just ANY exclusive but one of their flagship exclusive is coming to the PC? I dont know if they want more money or Kojima opened the door for them.

Kojima101: Go around the world and beg for a studios engine. Create a game base on that. Studio will follow Kojima by releasing their game to PC.

Oorrr new head of Sony doesnt give a crap on their brand

morganfell1931d ago

How does Sony calm down PC fans that never get some of their titles? It is an older title and here we are on the doorstep of next gen with the sequel heading to PS5. I platinumed the game long ago and I am a massive PS fanboy. I say enjoy the game on PC. All I see is a game that will make stubborn PC players say, "Damn I have to go out and get a PlayStation so I do not have to wait next time."

xxShadow-Shockxx1931d ago

Is nobody else pointing out the fact the the head of worldwide studios now is who was the head of guerilla games and that maybe he just has a soft spot for his former teams creation?

Kind of odd they’ve waited for Microsoft to show their specs, I thought it was about price tbh.

Wonder what it means?

Better or worse

darthv721931d ago

That is an interesting observation. Maybe they feel that their reveal will be sufficient to quell the cries for information? Or maybe they saw MS specs and know theirs is on par and/or just a hint better? Whatever the case may be... 9am tomorrow is gonna be lit.

isarai1931d ago

It was planned for GDC, but that got canceled, so here we are

-Foxtrot1931d ago

I read that isaria but honestly we’ll never truly know will we

blackblades1931d ago

What @isarai said, it's best not to think that way.

L7CHAPEL1931d ago

I think it just means that people are tired of waiting for any information whatsoever, and it's time for sony to at least show something,
I'm sure they can be fairly confident that their fans are going to remain their fans.
so it's 9 vs 12 teraflops🙄
the only real question will be with third-party developers,
and I don't see them doing anything drastically different based on that alone between the two (more powerful) console markets.

your fans want to see what you've got, so show it to them.
At this point it's not about anybody beating anybody, Sony and Microsoft are going their own way,
Microsoft is going to slowly build back up their fan base and their customer base by simply not making the mistakes they made the last generation,
and producing good high quality games and a very flexible service, and the kind of options that will allow you to play them anyway you like.
I'm an Xbox guy and I am very excited for what's coming down the road, and I'm sure fans of Sony will not be disappointed in what they're going to get, you haven't been so far have you?...
Not from everything I read.

GTgamer1932d ago

Last leak from Tommy fischer said PS5 is 13.3 teraflops and he was 100% correct about xboxSX specs so let's see what happens tomorrow but if PS5 is stronger than the XboxSX after Spencer saying they won't loose the power battle again that would be funny.

UltraNova1932d ago

GT,

I have a feeling Sony will launch with two SKUs, a regular ps5 and a Pro variant, the latter being as if not more powerful than the Series X. Let's see if I'm right or wrong tommorow.

GTgamer1932d ago (Edited 1932d ago )

@ultranova if they do that then I'm scared to see the price of the pro variant. 😂😂😂

That's a good thing, this way PS5 will be cheaper or the same price as the Series X at most. Be patient people.

Oh and start saving, hard.

@UltraNova,

Do to everything being shut down and millions losing their jobs in the USA alone, not many will be buying a PS5 or XBSX this holiday season.

will you be disappointed if there are no new game announcements like you pretended to be with the Xbox reveal?

xX-oldboy-Xx1931d ago

DIRtY - ms has announced a launch title a while back, they could've shown a screenshot at least.

No one was disappointed Ms didn't reveal 'NEW GAMES' - just a game that was built with xsx in mind.

Sony hasn't announce any 1st party launch titles yet.

I'll certainly be disappointed if Sony doesn't show something visually to show me the difference between PS5 & PS4Pro.

Gardenia1932d ago

To steal Microsoft's thunder maybe? If they do it so close to the reveal of Microsoft, it will be have to be as good if not better or they would have waited a bit longer.

GTgamer1932d ago (Edited 1932d ago )

Their gonna show next gen games if ps4 reveal is anything to go by and if they do that then it will automatically be better than what MS did yesterday.

darthv721931d ago (Edited 1931d ago )

People misuse that phrase. To steal thunder implies you are doing so before the thunder is revealed. Meaning if Sony shows, it is not to steal anything from MS because MS already showed theirs first. The best example would be what MS did yesterday by showing first... hence to steal Sony's thunder.

People can use that phrase, just use it properly next time. It's like using could have cared less when it is actually couldn't care less. Sorry... just I got a thing about people trying to make a statement with the wrong phrase.

JesusBuiltmyHotrod1932d ago

This was planned for GDC...companies don't run like fanboys.

TGGJustin1932d ago

For sure, I have a 128" 2.35:1 projector screen. My wish is to be able to play wide screen on that - but for sure, not holding my breath!

DarXyde1932d ago

I hope it has progressive scan.

Krangs_Uncle1932d ago

What is progressive scan??

ILostMyMind1931d ago

Progressive scan is that "p" after the resolution number, such as 1080p (in contrast to "i" which means interlaced), which most think means pixels.

Former PlayStation Boss Says $80 Games Are Amazingly Affordable

PlayStation boss believes that $80 games are affordable due to the value they provide. Using Mario Kart as an example, he noted that it offers numerous hours of gameplay with just one purchase.

jambola1d 17h ago

value inside the product does not have any impact on how afforable they are

Eonjay1d ago

He never said anything about affordability at all. He only commented about the perceived value that a game can have to a player that gets many hours out of it.

Again, as with many other forms of we are disrespected and lied to.

Title says Yoshida said $80 games are amazingly affordable. This is a lie.

CrimsonWing6923h ago

Perceived value is subjective, so how do you even argue for it? If one person says $500 was worth it because they played a game for six months, what does that mean to someone who didn’t share that experience or see that value?

This is exactly where corporate thinking falls apart. The value is defined by them, and then they twist the logic to defend it from a purely internal, out-of-touch perspective.

I’ve never based the price of a game on how long I’ve played it. There’s a standard price range that consumers feel is fair. If it were truly based on time or value, Resident Evil 2 Remake would cost $20, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth would be $1,000.

Eonjay21h ago

@Crimson

"Perceived value is subjective, so how do you even argue for it?Perceived value is subjective, so how do you even argue for it?"

I think his point is that it is subjective.

Why is tech4gamers allowed to publish here. The lying is constant with them.

FACTUAL evidence4h ago

Honestly, expedition 33 is a prime example of quality for the low. Expedition 33 launched at 50$, and that game gave me more fun than most 60-70$ games I’ve purchased within the last decade.

8832h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Clearly, they want to increase prices. They need to convince people that it’s not so bad. As long as they can do that, they can do whatever they want. You gave an outstanding example of the direction things could go if creators were focused primarily on The community and quality. If that example or a few others like it didn’t exist, it might be hard to convey to many how it is even possible.

pwnmaster30001d 17h ago

I get the concept.
People buy movies for $20-$30 dollars that offers only a couple of hours of enjoyment.
While games offers 3-10+ times the amount of hours and content.
So in theory yeah I get it.

But I will never accept it and would rather keep the price now or even better PS360 price lol

isarai1d 16h ago

On the surface ye that makes sense, but when you realize the budgets are very comparable, you realize it's kinda stupid and overpriced especially when it common for it to be released unfinished

Extermin8or3_19h ago

Not really, movies that have similar budgets have the box office where if they arent a flop- they typically make all their money back or a profit. Movies have a much wider audience. Games however just have that release and have a smaller market.

PapaBop17h ago

Are many people buying movies for $20-$30? Outside of the more dedicated movie goers who have a physical collection, I imagine most rather scoff at that and stick to things like Netflix instead.

DivineHand12517h ago

You also have to take into consideration that most games are enjoyed by one or two people, while movies can be enjoyed by a group of people who are either friends or family.

Another thing is that the value of an entertainment product cannot be judged based on its length, but how it makes the user feel when it is all done.
An example of this is Ubisoft games. They can last close to or exceed 100 hours, yet many people hate on them for doing things to pad the length of the game, while Uncharted 4 and other Naughty Dog games average about 15 hours in length and are hailed as some of the best games of all time.

Petebloodyonion1d ago

The value of an $80 all-you-can-eat buffet is undeniable, making it curious why some people choose a $20 restaurant for a single, standard meal.

In a similar vein, movies, despite their higher production costs for a two-hour experience, outperform video games in revenue while also being priced around $20. Suggesting that video games need 100 hours of diluted gameplay to compete seems like a misdirection. The real solution might lie in re-evaluating how their core offering is valued.

Extermin8or3_19h ago

Individual movies yes, the movie industry as a whole? No, the movie industry is dwarfed by the behemoth in terms of revenue that gaming is.

DoubleYourDose11h ago

The $80 buffet and the $20 meal both come out the same end.

I prefer to pay since i do not like guild wars and it keep kids away, but FF14 decreased on quality since they started to make it "more accessible", tried throne and liberty and while it was okay it has so many issues, same for dune awakening... Its time to start making a new FF MMO

Looks like Square Enix is self-aware but still stuck in place, they see the player drop and apologize for the bugs, but nothing really changes. Shame, FFXIV used to be the gold standard

Servbot412d ago

My entire free company has stopped playing. The writing has consistently gotten worse and the content is sparse and lacking; unless you are a hardcore player there's very little for you to do. They are over-catering to the people who will grind three+ times a week on a single fight for multiple months when the playerbase by large doesn't want that sort of content. Square needs to dedicate more resources to the game instead of wasting them on mobile and other live service slop.

Miraak82 2d ago

The biggest factor for me is the way they butchered job design over the years , the casualization and over simplification really hurt a good chunk of enjoyment I used to have . Jobs lost any form of complexity and just became " press glowing button" DDR style for fighting where the gameplay loop is a about the 2 minute burst window . They removed most DoTS, timer mechanics , cast times, pets, RNG ect and all around homogenized everything . When you try and can cater to everyone ... you cater to no one .
