Did you know the original producer of Crash Bandicoot was the guy who created Marble Madness? He was on a 6 month paid staycation at the time.

OOOOOOOO SHINY...

You wait and wait and then out of nowhere you get some news! Details are emerging online about the highly anticipated ‘Playstation 5′ or ‘PS5′ (both unofficial at this point) and we want to talk about it! In an exclusive interview between ‘Wired’ and Mark Cerny (Lead architect on the next gen console - why not... The man delivered the PS4 to the world in style), he dropped a few breadcrumbs that’ll feed the hunger of the unknown a little while longer. Sadly we won’t be seeing it in 2019 however...

Yeah sad face. But enough of the negatives! Lets get to the good stuff. Firstly he’s stated that the console will be backwards compatible! *peels selves off ceiling* and it WILL have a disc drive! (Us video game retailers can breathe a sigh relief and at least hope we still have jobs in a few years). Also there’s apparently a number of studios already working on titles for the next gen console so the wheels already seem to be turning...

The most exciting thing however is the potential power of the coming machine. To confirm what we mean we’ve included an extract from the article below:

“To demonstrate, Cerny fires up a PS4 Pro playing Spider-Man, a 2018 PS4 exclusive that he worked on alongside Insomniac Games. (He’s not just an systems architect; Cerny created arcade classic Marble Madness when he was all of 19 and was heavily involved with PlayStation and PS2 franchises like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and Ratchet and Clank.) On the TV, Spidey stands in a small plaza. Cerny presses a button on the controller, initiating a fast-travel interstitial screen. When Spidey reappears in a totally different spot in Manhattan, 15 seconds have elapsed. Then Cerny does the same thing on a next-gen devkit connected to a different TV. (The devkit, an early “low-speed” version, is concealed in a big silver tower, with no visible componentry.) What took 15 seconds now takes less than one: 0.8 seconds, to be exact.”

So... It’ll be fast then. Like, FAST. Yeah I don’t think even FAST covers it. We’re talking about the future!

We’re not getting ahead of ourselves however and we know that this will be a painful wait after we’ve been shown the very tip of the iceberg that is next-gen gaming. But this is a cause for celebration. It’s coming...

More from us as things surface but for now your PS4 is safe!

BREAKING: Next-Gen PlayStation details revealed

Don’t call it PS5. At least, not yet.

In an exclusive interview with WIRED, Sony’s Mark Cerny confirms that the console will NOT be released in 2019, but also said it’s more than just an “upgrade,” saying it  “ allows for fundamental changes in what a game can be.”

A number of development studios have been working with the console, which currently does not have a publicly-released name. Cerny smiled when someone referred to it as a PlayStation 5 and simply referred to it as “the next-gen console.”

The report says the new console’s CPU is based on the third generation of AMD’s Ryzen line and contains eight cores, while the GPU is a custom variant of Radeon’s Navi family, “will support ray tracing, a technique that models the travel of light to simulate complex interactions in 3D environments,” a feat that gaming consoles have so far been unable to accomplish.

Cerny added that the current PSVR headset will be compatible with the new console, but wouldn’t go into further detail. It’ll also feature an SSD for storage that is 15x faster than the PS4′s traditional hard drive. 

And the last big piece of news: Cerny confirms the console will be backward-compatible with the PS4. 

Hopefully we’ll get to learn more at E3.

Hideo Kojima talked a bit about Death Stranding during the PlayStation Experience Welcome Celebration, stating that the underwater section seen in the latest trailer is actually playable. Mark Cerny (PS4 lead architect) also ensured that after 4 or 5 hours of gameplay, everything you’ve seen in the trailer (which at the moment seems very puzzling) will start to make sense.
