[ Каскадный ] · Стандартный · Линейный Next-Gen Playstation, aka PS5

[dimm0505]

Марк Церни, главный архитектор новой Playstation (пока он не называет ее PS5) поделился информацией о ее технических характеристиках. Данная информация считается уже официальной!

PS5 Official Hardware Specs

Mark Cerny is once again the Lead System Architect.
8 core AMD 7nm Zen 2 based on third generation Ryzen.
Ray-tracing support with custom AMD Navi GPU.
Custom AMD unit for 3D Audio, also aided by ray-tracing, a big upgrade. Hot on the heels of Sony having acquired near-industry-standard AudioKinetic.
Extremely fast high-end custom SSD storage faster than any solution currently available for PC:
Spider-Man load times on PS4 Pro: 15 seconds → 0.8 seconds on next-gen PlayStation. That’s ~19x faster!
Huge practical game changer opening up for new design opportunities.
Technically supports 8K but Cerny demoed Spider-Man load speed improvements on a 4K screen (I would only take this as confirmation of HDMI 2.1).
New Virtual Reality platform strongly hinted at but also supports current PSVR (meaning millions of VR users ‘day one’).
Death Stranding might be a cross-gen title (speculation in article based on Cerny reply).
Physical Media.
Backwards Compatible with at least PS4.
Devkit is with developers and they recently accelerated its deployment.
Four years in development so far.
2020.

Стоит обратить внимание на поддержку ray-tracing. Сам Церни не говорил об этом напрямую, поэтому народ начал гадать будет ли она там реализована на уровне железа или так, как сейчас сделала nVidia - поддержку на программном уровне с помощью пакета Game Ready Driver, позволяющим использовать RT на карточках прошлого поколения. Однако твит художника Naughty Dog намекает на "железное" решение:

Особое внимание стоит обратить на супер-быструю систему хранения данных на основе SSD, с помощью которой удалось загрузить Spider-Man в 19 раз быстрей, чем на PS4 Pro!

Также Марк отметил 3D Audio чип нового поколения, который при желании может помогать с обсчетом рэй-трейсинга.

В приставке будет поддержка новой VR-платформы, но при сохранении совместимости с существующей PS VR.

И про PS4 не забыли! Новая приставка будет и с ней совместима! То есть все PS4 игры можно проиграть и на новой плойке. Про совместимость с PS3/PS2/PS1 пока разговоров не было.

Death Stranding может стать кроссгенной игрой.

Предполагаемый год выхода - 2020.

Вроде название уже официальное - Playstation 5 (PS5):

Эксклюзивная инфа будет в Wired:

Немного от Церни. Рэйтрейсинг будет иметь аппаратную поддержку. Новый интерфейс, новый джой с вибрацией Haptic Feedback (по типу Свитча), носители по 100 гигов, про SSD мы и так знаем:

Raytracing
Before they do, Cerny wants to clarify something. When we last discussed the forthcoming console, he spoke about its ability to support ray-tracing, a technique that can enable complex lighting and sound effects in 3D environments. Given the many questions he’s received since, he fears he may have been ambiguous about how the PS5 would accomplish this—and confirms that it’s not a software-level fix, which some had feared. “There is ray-tracing acceleration in the GPU hardware,” he says, “which I believe is the statement that people were looking for.”

Interface:
Regardless of what parts of a game you choose to install and play, you'll be able to stay abreast of it via a completely revamped user interface. The PS4's bare-bones home screen at times feels frozen in amber; you can see what your friends have recently done, or even what game title they might be playing at the moment, but without launching an individual title, there's no way to tell what single-player missions you could do or what multiplayer matches you can join. The PS5 will change that. "Even though it will be fairly fast to boot games, we don't want the player to have to boot the game, see what's up, boot the game, see what's up," Cerny says. "Multiplayer game servers will provide the console with the set of joinable activities in real time. Single-player games will provide information like what missions you could do and what rewards you might receive for completing them—and all of those choices will be visible in the UI. As a player you just jump right into whatever you like."

Controller
The controller (which history suggests will one day be called the DualShock 5, though Cerny just says "it doesn't have a name yet") does have some features Cerny's more interested in acknowledging. One is "adaptive triggers" that can offer varying levels of resistance to make shooting a bow and arrow feel like the real thing—the tension increasing as you pull the arrow back—or make a machine gun feel far different from a shotgun. It also boasts haptic feedback far more capable than the rumble motor console gamers are used to, with highly programmable voice-coil actuators located in the left and right grips of the controller.

Combined with an improved speaker on the controller, the haptics can enable some astonishing effects. First, I play through a series of short demos, courtesy of the same Japan Studio team that designed PlayStation VR's Astro Bot Rescue Mission. In the most impressive, I ran a character through a platform level featuring a number of different surfaces, all of which gave distinct—and surprisingly immersive—tactile experiences. Sand felt slow and sloggy; mud felt slow and soggy. On ice, a high-frequency response made the thumbsticks really feel like my character was gliding. Jumping into a pool, I got a sense of the resistance of the water; on a wooden bridge, a bouncy sensation.

But data adds up too. "If you look at a game like Marvel's Spider-Man," Cerny says, "there are some pieces of data duplicated 400 times on the hard drive." The SSD sweeps away the need for all that duping—so not only is its raw read speed dramatically faster than a hard drive, but it saves crucial space. How developers will take advantage of that space will likely differ; some may opt to build a larger or more detailed game world, others may be content to shrink the size of the games or patches. Either way, physical games for the PS5 will use 100GB optical disks, inserted into an optical drive that doubles as a 4K Bluray player.

Ну и ждать в конце 2020 года, тут вроде без изменений.
