Sony no doubt have labs where they can test a variety of situations, with a view to approximate what level of fan speed is needed to vent heat from the box, but no company can plan for the various, potentially infinite possible locations and levels of demand that game will put on the cooling solution.

The console will likely overexaggerate speed of the fan without post launch information, it's a very clever idea to use sensor data from each console to give Sony a more a...

Great design, the size of the system makes perfect sense, given how big the heat sink is, the size of the fan and the use of Liquid Metal to make a good smooth surface to properly conduct heat away from the SoC is very clever.
I'm glad to see that PS5 also uses very high speed USB (10gbps), Wifi 6 (9.6gbps) and Bluetooth 5.1, which should make for a much more stable wireless controller connection.

I'm wondering if PS5 could use WiFi 6 to communicate with a ...

I think companies can't actually void your warranty now if you attempt to repair a fault, but making it easy to access potentially dusty parts of the console is very welcome IMO.
We need consoles to be bigger and more well ventilated to make them function better, so that is going to make for a more potentially dust attracting environment in these systems.

The current price of the original PS4 season pass for the 2018 Spider-Man is £15.99 here in the UK, Miles Morales is £51.99, but the ultimate edition of the PS5 game is £69.99, so you're only paying £2.01 more for the base game remastered for the PS5, that's a pretty decent bargain.

Personally I own the PS4 version of the 2018 game, but never bought the Season Pass, Miles Morales looks amazing, so I'm stoked to get all of this content in one ...

It makes me laugh how people are acting like the Spider-Man Remaster is some full price release on it's own, to be fair we don't know exactly how big Miles Morales will be, but the value of the Remaster is great, especially when the Season Pass for the 2018 game is £15.99.
This will be a great addition at launch, for very little extra over the Miles Morales game.

It's definitely the first PS5 system seller, looks so good, I'm definitely getting this for my PS5 at launch.

1307d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

You will, maybe not at launch, but sometime soon after.
I cross my fingers that you'll be able to get one before Christmas.

Personally I'm looking forward to Sackboy and Astro, the latter of which comes with every console.

I already have the PS4 version of the 2018 game, but got it for something like £24.99 later that year, also didn't buy the DLC, so I'll be getting the Ultimate Edition of Miles Morales for my PS5, Spiderman Remastered only adds £18 to the standalone Miles Morales game.

Me too, I got a pre-order through Very in the UK, which is still saying to expect mine on the 19th of November.

Both Bluepoint and Housemarque are technically already AAA studios, Bluepoint became AAA when they put out their last Remake, which was Shadow of The Colossus.
Returnal is Housemarque's first major AAA game.

It would be great to see Bluepoint make their own new project, whether it's a new IP or a unique game from a Sony owned franchise that has laid dormant for a time.
Capcom or Square could be within Sony's reach and they wouldn't have the...

Exactly, Santa Monica started to work on it straight after the last one release, they also have the foundations of that shift to Norse Mythology worked out, plus Cory's team are much more stable now after the studio moved to their new location during the 2018 game's development.

Assuming this comes out in April time it would have been in development for about 3 years, if Cory and co are ready to announce 2021 as a launch year, then that's their current target.

1315d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

If it's ready then there's no reason why it shouldn't come out.
Santa Monica are a very efficient studio and given they were moving locations, essential rebuilding the studio as the last God of War was put into development now they're more stable and have the foundation of the last excellent game in the franchise under their belt.
Most likely under Cory's leadership the God of War team could easily be in a far better place to make more frequent releases, ...

It is nothing but naive to think they won't come to PlayStation, Stadia or future Nintendo platforms (assuming Nintendo makes a Switch Pro or something that can run them).
Given how little Game Pass Ultimate brings in relative to the various things it's going to offer MS can only be aiming to use this move to basically swallow up as much money from this move as possible.
Just keeping ZeniMax's future games on XBox wouldn't make them any money, MS needs XBox t...

In order to answer this question without official details from Microsoft we need to do some math.
Currently if you pay each month for Game Pass Ultimate it costs $14.99, which means for 12 months XBox would earn $179.88 per user.
I think back in April Microsoft said they had 10 million Game Pass Ultimate subs, so that means per year they would make $1.7988 Billion, this is revenue, assuming everyone pays, which personally I don't, I do the Game Pass Quest, which means I ...

Maybe a remake of the original, with more content could come to PS5.
PS5's CPU and other hardware is fast enough to make a great PS3 emulator run well, especially with Sony knowing their source code and the modern features of the RDNA Architecture, Machine Learning goes back to the first version, should be even better on RDNA2.

Yeah that game looks awesome and freaky too.
I love Housemarque's games, Resogun was fantastic, hopefully next gen will get a 4K 120Hz update.
Hopefully Returnal is a launch window game.

As things should be!
Sony's owns the rights and a Sony owned developer makes the best Spider-Man video game(s) ever made.

This makes perfect sense.

That's what I thought, it works really well in Ghost.

Agreed, Sucker Punch teased about taking the setting to an Asian location, like Japan, with Ninjas, Infamous with Ninjas would be awesome on PS5.
Hopefully SP won't take quite so long to put out their next game as they did with Ghost of Tsushima.
It only took them a couple of years to make Second Son, perhaps as a studio they'll be able to work on multiple projects going forward.

It's been over 6 years since the last Infamous and the IP can be ...
