Our first image here highlights the unique design that a cloud-based platform offers.As you can see, there’s no disc drive or any bulky box-like shape to store hardware. Everything is streamed through the device which, as you can see, is both small and stylish. Some of the exciting technology this type of design could utilize includes quantum random access memory (or QRAM), and wireless fiber optic technology which is a far cry from your average Wi-Fi connection. The speeds on offer here will ensure that downloads and streaming happen seamlessly. Dynamic Haptic Sensitive Controller – Dualshock 5 Next up we have a look at an exciting concept for the PS5 controller. While the previous DualShock 4 is quite comfortable, the focus here with the Dualshock 5 will be on the ultimate ergonomic controller experience. In addition, the touchpad is switched out for a touchscreen. Developers will be able to use the touchscreen to display everything from radar, to health, to other creative concepts. Developers have already found interesting ways to use the DualShock 4’s touchpad and light bar, so imagine that kind of innovation on a touchscreen with the capabilities that offers. Dualshock 5 Features The touch screen on the controller will be seamlessly integrated into the design of it, so they won’t need to modify the controller to accommodate it (looking at you Sega Dreamcast). The touchscreen will also incorporate contextual buttons that can utilized by developers to add another layer of interaction. DualShock 4 controllers have the benefit of rechargeable batteries, but the PS5 controller will take this to the next level. With options for Wireless charging and induction charging on a pad, you’ll be able to quickly and easily recharge the controller when it gets low. Additional Dualshock 5 Features Additional options we can expect to see will be influenced by Microsoft’s push for elite controllers that have a lot of customization options. For example, the sensitivity of the triggers and buttons will be adjustable in some sort of app on the PS5. Furthermore, the analog sticks will have an adjustable height to them for added precision. In addition, there will be adjustment options for the D-pad. The standard shape will be there, along with an option to give the directions an angled shape for better ergonomics. PS5 Gaming Console As you can see from the image, the PS5 console seems as if it’s floating. This is possible through quantum levitation which is something we’ve done today with various objects. The blue lights across the sphere will also act as spatial sensors that can be used with PlayStation VR to analyze your placement in the room. The color of the sphere’s lights will also indicate different things like updates, patches, and messages. While the voice integration of the PlayStation Camera was fairly simple, the PS5 will be able to understand more complex phrases and commands as well.

Will the PlayStation 5 Have a Camera?
Sony has been trying to make the camera a must-have accessory for three generations now – will that trend continue with the PlayStation 5? First introduced with the PlayStation 2 under the EyeToy moniker, the camera was a novelty at best, a waste of space at worst. Used with only a handful of games, the EyeToy was mostly a proof of concept, as it was rare to see any sort of webcam technology outside of the computer. Naturally, it crashed and burned, though it can be said the EyeToy was before its time. Luckily, Sony saw promise in the device and didn’t give up just yet. The PlayStation Eye, released for the PlayStation 3, improved on the EyeToy but it still wasn’t enough to make the camera any sort of must-have accessory. The games that supported it were weak, and Sony’s competitors, most notably Microsoft with the Kinect, were doing much grander things. The camera’s functionality expanded, allowing for video chat among friends, but the PlayStation Eye ended up being another forgotten relic, finding itself in clearance bins across the country. Luckily for Sony, a lot changed during the lifespan of the PlayStation 3, notably the advent of Twitch and Let’s Plays near the end of the PS3 era. Suddenly, everyone was streaming not only video games but themselves as well, as personalities like PewDiePie burst onto the scene. The person playing the game was almost as important as the games themselves, and any sort of camera became a must-have purchase for both established streamers and those who wanted to get in on the action. The Modern PlayStation Camera When the PlayStation 4 released, the camera saw a name overhaul, becoming the PlayStation Camera. The device was so popular that it sold out during the launch, commanding large sums of money on eBay. Why was the camera, which was a dud during the previous two generations, suddenly so sought after at the PS4 launch? Because of the system’s integration with Twitch, letting players stream content directly from the PS4. Suddenly, the camera wasn’t just an accessory, it was a necessity, especially for gamers who are making their living streaming, and those gamers who want to start streaming. With the release of the SHAREfactory app on the PS4, suddenly users could create their own prerecorded Let’s Play videos, taking the camera’s functionality up to the next level. Once the dust settled though, what else could this camera really do? Well, beyond the free augmented reality game “The Playroom” and some voice control features, there wasn’t much for you to do with the thing. Currently, the camera hasn’t seen overwhelming support from any games, but it is still used as a means of streaming commentary during play sessions online. Despite this, the PlayStation Camera is poised to make a comeback. Sony announced a virtual reality headset for the PS4 called Project Morpheus which has reinvigorated the need for the PlayStation Camera if only by necessity. This headset features and OLED display with … Read More
Nintendo Starts Work on New System: Is Sony Far Behind?
In December 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto, one of the major game developers at Nintendo, dropped what some consider to be a bombshell announcement: Nintendo is already working on its next console, the successor to the Wii U. Miyamoto admitted that they were still in the early planning stages, but that a dedicated team was working on new hardware while the majority of Nintendo was focusing on making software for the Wii U. Is it possible that Sony is doing the same thing for the PlayStation 5? If Sony wasn’t working on the PS5 now, you can bet they are getting in gear after Miyamoto’s announcement. We recently brought you news about the New Business Creation Department at Sony, whose sole purpose is letting ideas from any branch at Sony flourish. It’s safe to say that plenty of new ideas revolve around the PlayStation 5, giving Sony the groundwork it needs to build a powerful new console with some innovative features. We can safely assume that Sony is already looking for ways to maximize the next console’s graphical powers; with Sony currently on top in the console wars, they will need something unique to keep their momentum strong when they unveil the PlayStation 5. Like Nintendo, we can assume that Sony has a small “think tank” of its top researchers and developers testing out new ideas that would make the PS5 one-of-a-kind. However, it’s also safe to assume that whatever Sony is working on depends on the trends of the next few years. A lot is riding on virtual reality, and with Morpheus yet to be released for the PlayStation 4, it’s uncertain if it will catch on with the gamer populace. Sony is likely not investing in these ideas too heavily, because if virtual reality is a flop and the PS5 is being planned around it, it could set the console back years as Sony would need to restructure the whole system. At this stage in the game, the focus is likely to be squarely on graphical output, seeing if any improvements can be made to the DualShock 4 – small details that will definitely play a part in the next console, as dictated by the history of gaming. For instance, it’s a given that there will be a DualShock 5, as the controller is now synonymous with the word PlayStation. We don’t expect Sony to make an announcement any time soon stating that they are working on the PlayStation 5; right now, the PS4 is still selling great, with Sony securely in first place in this console generation. Nintendo likely made this announcement because the Wii U contains a number of faults that have landed it in third place in the console wars, and Miyamoto is likely trying to assure its fans that Nintendo is already looking to fix its mistakes. The only thing we can be certain of is that Sony is intensely watching the PlayStation 4, noting what works, what doesn’t, what the players enjoy and what they … Read More
Sony’s New Business Creation Department Likely Working on the PS5
Sony has already started to think about the future of the PlayStation brand and what the PS5 could bring with the formation of the New Business Creation department.
PlayStation 5 or PortMachine 5? How Many Game Ports Can We Expect at Launch?
One of the biggest current complaints with the PlayStation 4 is that it has a lack of games. While this may not necessarily be true, it’s easy to see why PS4 gamers are upset: Most of the released games are ports of either recently released PC or PS3 games. In many cases, it’s the same exact game you might have played two years ago but with a new coat of paint, i.e better graphics. It’s a new phenomena, something we didn’t see a lot of when the PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3 first launched. It makes sense in a sense to bring some of these titles forward. Classics like The Last of Us and God of War III should be experienced by any and all PS4 gamers, especially if sequels are going to come out on the new console. Without backwards compatibility, the only option is to remake them for the new console. While some of these ports are graphical upgrades and little more, we’re seeing ports including new features, all of the original DLC, and other incentives. Take for example the DMC: Devil May Cry remaster on PS4. This game was brought forward in terms of graphics, but the developers also tweaked and changed numerous complaints that people had with the original release of the game. There’s a good and bad side to these remasters, and while people may complain that they are buying the same game twice, they aren’t forced to do so, and people who have never played these titles are offered a better experience from the get-go. Why Is This Happening? Depending on who you ask, the overwhelming answer is likely to be “greed.” Gamers think that backwards compatibility is stripped out of systems on purpose, so developers and publishers can sell you the same game twice, effectively doubling their profits. In reality, backwards compatibility is stripped out so the cost of the system can remain low, and the feature isn’t one the majority of users will likely use, according to research. There are two main reasons why this trend is occurring on the PS4 and why it will repeat itself on the PS5. Easy Profits It takes time to make games, especially for a new system; it’s not uncommon for companies to take two or three years to create a killer app on brand new hardware. In the meantime though, companies need money, and what better way than to re-release a previous game, especially one where most of the work is done? On the PC, games look better than their counterparts just because of newer hardware, so when consoles finally catch up, it’s easy for publishers to port said PC game to the consoles – especially when they share the same architecture. Companies will feed you lines about how this is “the definitive version” and its “remastered” for the new system, but in reality you’re getting the same game that has been on the PC for years and all the DLC. It’s easy profit. It’s … Read More
What PS5 Launch Titles Will You Be Playing?
The best part about buying a shiny new video game console isn’t the new hardware, the social networking features, or its online capabilities. No, it’s the games: The heart of the console, the reason why we stand in line at midnight and fight our fellow gaming brethren at a chance to be a part of the future. Systems can live or die based on the strength of its launch line-up; too few games, and your audience quickly runs out of things to play, too many bad games, and your audience realizes they wasted their money and word of mouth quickly turns negative. While we can’t name any specifics about what you’ll be playing when the PS5 launches outside of a few examples, we can use history to see just what will be available when the system launches. PS5 Sports Titles A mainstay of the gaming scene, sports games have been available since the first video game console was launched. These days, sports games are so popular that they are featured upfront and center in every video game console launch. Expect to see the likes of Madden, the NBA2K series, and FIFA front and center for yet another video game launch. These games will likely follow the time honored tradition of having better graphics but cutting features to make it in time for launch. Like always, we can expect a version of MLB: The Show on PS5 a few months after the launch. PS5 First Person Shooters The FPS genre is one of the strongest in gaming today, consistently hitting the types of sales numbers that make other publishers green with jealousy. Expect to see the yearly titans, Call of Duty and Battlefield, available at launch, along with any other big name franchises that may rise to power during the lifespan of the PS4. If we’re being optimistic, maybe we’ll see Titanfall appear at the PS5’s launch? PS5 Action / Adventure If the Assassin’s Creed series keeps trucking along at a yearly basis, it’s a given we’ll see one of those at the PS5’s launch. Outside of that? Well, that will depend on what big names emerge in the current generation. This is the space to watch, as anything could fill this genre as we get closer and closer to the PS5’s launch. PS5 First-Party Titles Expect to see three or four first-party games from Sony that really show off the power of the console. Sony is going to be looking for games that demonstrate what the system is capable of, games that get jaws dropping much like Killzone: Shadow Fall did on the PS4. We won’t likely see mistakes like Knack take the stage, instead seeing time-honored classics such as Gran Turismo, Uncharted or possibly God of War lead the PS5’s lineup. Sony will want to put their best foot forward when it comes to the PS5 and they have the portfolio of games to do just that. PS5 Indie Games Expect to see a ton of indie games at … Read More
