Last minute on PS5; What do we know?
Although since the announcement of the PlayStation 5 logo in the past CES 2020, Sony has left us no more clues about what will be its new console, the latest rumors suggest that the next official details could make yourself known at a PlayStation Meeting event with press at the beginning of February.
In this event, according to the alleged leak of the 4chan forum, this event would reveal the final aspect of the console, of the DualShock 5, the user interface, some of its final features and the names of the first exclusive PS5 games.
In the same speech talk that the slogan of the new console would be IT’S TIME TO PLAY (IT'S TIME TO PLAY) and that we would be facing the "definitive PlayStation" console, because thanks to the backward compatibility, games from all previous systems (PS4, PS3, PS2 and PSX) could be played. PS5 would be compatible with all our PS4 controllers and with PSVR.
In contrast to Microsoft's possible strategy of launching several models of its new generation Xbox, the rumor suggests that Sony would bet on a single model, which would launch to the market, supposedly for € 449. As always, since they are supposed leaks, until Sony does not formalize the first details, they must be taken with tweezers.
PlayStation 5: The data confirmed so far
Since it was released PlayStation in the 90s, Sony He has been one of the greatest exponents in the videogame industry, his latest great success being the brand new PS4, which, after years of great health in which we have had thousands of games, gives its last sigh in 2020 to leave the way to Playstation 5, the Sony's new console which has the difficult task of matching all its predecessors.
Under this premise, we are facing a year that can be key to the success of the console, since the initial marketing was one of the great points in favor that have followed PS4, so the luck of PS5 could be determined by showing (and doing well) all its features, as well as the games that will be present in the console. For all this, if you want to know all data confirmed so far from PlayStation 5, keep reading because you're interested.
The PS5 launch window
Starting with the launch window, we must start from the basis that PS5 today does not have a specific release date, this being the reason why there is a lot of speculation about it. The only official data we have at the moment is that, unless last minute change, PlayStation 5 will launch in late 2020, although the month and day, as we say, are still not fixed in the calendar.
Regarding this, there is a lot of speculation about the release date, although, in view of taking advantage of Black Friday and other Christmas offers, it is quite likely to be launched around the months of October and November. However, and as we have already said, this is nothing more than speculation, so we will have to wait for an official announcement by Sony.
What will be the final name of the console?
To anyone's surprise, Sony It has remained traditional in regard to the name of its console, something that does not happen with either Nintendo or Microsof, giving with it that the official name of the console is Playstation 5 (PS5 to shorten). In the same way, the Japanese company makes this clear with the announcement of the console logo, which has the same typeface of the consoles that preceded it.

PS5 confirmed technical specifications
On the other hand, something that will interest many users derives from the console's own characteristics, since, as a result of these, it will be possible to know how the games will work in this one. And, although, as we say, there has not been an official or consensual announcement, we have had several statements from members and managers of They are around the technical capabilities of PlayStation 5. Today, these are the confirmed data:
Processor: It will have 8 cores and will have a Zen 2 architecture of 7 nanometers from AMD.
GPU: It will be based on Navi architecture.

Storage: PS5 will feature a class hard drive High-speed SSD, which will minimize load times
Ray-tracing
Format: The console will have a Blu-Ray 4K Ultra HD drive, which will allow you to play discs up to 100GB.
The backward compatibility of PS5
The backward compatibility of PlayStation 5
Being one of the key points that have marked the trajectory of Xbox One during this generation, especially in the face of positive public opinion, it seems that in PS5 we would choose to bring that function to the console of Sony. It should be mentioned that there have already been several managers of Sony who have confirmed and assured that there will be backward compatibility. It is worth mentioning that this backward compatibility would also extend to PlayStation VR, whose current model can be used in PS5.
However, the detail that is unknown at the moment is the method that will be used for it. In this regard, it must be said that, in the same way, only the backward compatibility with PS4 because the new console is based on the architecture of its predecessor, so it is not known if this function will be available with PS3, PS2 and PS1 games. For now we are waiting to learn more details, although it seems certain that we can enjoy the best PS4 games in our new PS5.

Will the physical format be maintained or will it be 100% digital?
The answer to this question is quite simple, since, given that PS5 It will have a record player, it would be absurd to think that there will be no physical format. For the rest, everything seems to indicate that, as in this generation, both formats, physical and digital, Will live together.
Load time reduction
It has been one of the most commented topics during the last months regarding Playstation 5, since there have been many developers who have claimed that loading times (screens on which the details of a new area are being played in the game) would be reduced to almost last seconds. We have a statement from the developers of The Last of Us Part 2.
Also, the example that was given in his day using the video game is already famous'Marvel's Spider-Man', from which it was said that the rapid travel screens in the New York subway would last just a couple of seconds between the screen transition.

DualShock 5: The qualitative leap of the PlayStation controller
And as is happening with each new console, PS5 will be accompanied by a new command, which aims to be baptized as DualShock 5. And in the same way that happened with DS4, there are new functions that could arrive, so that for now we have announced a few.
To begin with, the controls would opt for haptic technology, so that it would have different sensors that would transmit different sensations to the player, very similar to the HD vibration.
On the other hand, the triggers would have a renewed adaptability system which would cause these feelings that we talked about in the paragraph to be much more immersive. The examples that have been put with this technology start from pulling the rope of an arc, so that the more we press the trigger, the more tense the rope will be.
Also, it is not known at the moment if it will have a touch panel again, although it has been said that It will be heavier than the DualShock 4, due to the incorporation of all these new elements.
PS5 games: what games have been officially confirmed?
As is logical, the lack of an official announcement of the console to teach it to the public has brought with it that, for the moment, not much is known about the games that will reach PS5, although it is expected that many of the studies of Sony as thirds parties are already working. For now we have confirmed a new Call of duty, the game of Gollum, based on the universe of The Lord of the Rings, and little else.

The most important rumors and speculations
What price will PS5 have when it reaches stores?
Already entering the field of rumors, the price becomes something very similar to what was seen with the launch date, since, although we do not have a margin as in the calendar, it has been speculated a lot about it. And, with all the technology that it brings, everything seems to point to PS5 you can go to the market at a price of € 499 / $, which would make it the company's second most expensive console after PS3.
However, there is also part of the sector that rejects this idea because the excessive price could throw back many buyers. Without going any further, another reason why PS4 triumphed because of the € 100 difference from Xbox One. Therefore, there are many who opt for a price that would oscillate € 399 / $, thus maintaining the wake set by their predecessor
Will it be backward compatible with PS3, PS2 and PSX games?
As we mentioned earlier, PS4 compatibility is a given. However, the question is whether the previous consoles would do the same. Faced with this, perhaps you can choose to put original discs and thereby make a digital download, something similar to Xbox One, although we wait to see if it is finally fulfilled.
What exclusive sagas will have continuation in PS5?
Again we are in a fairly swampy terrain, since little or nothing we can say about it officially. However, everything seems to indicate that you know how God of war, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ratchet & Clank, Spider-man, the projects of ICO Y Half Molecule among others they could reach the console. And all this without forgetting that we may end up seeing new deliveries as Killzone and future projects of Naughty dogs Y Sucker punch.
The Last of U Part 2
Possible games that could reach PS5
If with the speculation of the sagas we have not fallen short, with the games that could come we will extend more. And there are many titles that could land in PS5, starting with titles that end up being multigenerational, as it happened in his day with 'The Last of Us'. Be that as it may, then you have a list of the games that most likely end up coming to PS5:
The Last of Us Part 2 Definitive Edition: Starting with what is undoubtedly the most obvious game that will come in the first year of PS5. And be careful with this, since your departure in PS4 together with the backward compatibility makes this port seem unnecessary. However, considering that surely the title would have a DLC, it would not be unusual to see the "Complete Edition" end up coming out on PS5 as exclusive
Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Another that is quite obvious that we will end up seeing. Not for nothing, the first game of Spider-man It has been the best-selling superhero title ever. With that in mind and an ending that gives rise to a sequel, we have no doubt that in Insomniacs They are already working on the title.
Days Gone 2: Going back to the exclusive ones, it must be recognized that at the beginning it did not look good with so much delay and so much bug, but finally the title of Bend studios has managed to aim high until being one of the greatest successes of the console during this year. We will have to see if the study is encouraged to continue with this IP in the form of a sequel.
God of War 2: And if we didn't have enough with the other two, it's his turn GODliterally. Again we have an end, in this secret case, which not only raises the most likely possibility of seeing a sequel, but also could have the Ragnarok as the central axis of its history and an epic fight between Kratos and Thor.
Ratchet & Clank 2: Another title of Insomniac That left us with an ending wanting more. And is that the title of 2016 that worked as Reboot has ended up being the best selling game in the saga, this being the reason to see a sequel that could tell us the story of the extinction of the Lombax, although now with everything thought from the beginning.
Bloodborne 2: And now going to an external study, we must not overlook that Bloodborne It has been one of the great games of this generation. For all this, and based on the fact that in From Software talent always remains, we may end up seeing a sequel to this title, which has been rumored for years.
Horizon Zero Dawn 2: Another one that points high in what concerns the sequel, since with an even more open ending than the previous one and an expansion that raised more doubts, one can get an idea of where this sequel can point, having Aloy than face other possible AI of GAIA to find the peace that the world so longs for.
Sly 5: I imagine that there will be few who played Sly 4: Thieves in Time, title that left us the biggest open end of all the sagas mentioned. So open, that today is still unanswered, so fans cry out for a sequel that seems not to come.
New Spyro: And speaking of classic sagas, the success of the trilogy of Spyro it is not something that should remain as a flower of a day, since having obtained so many income it is obvious that in Activision they will be crazy to continue exploiting the IP. The only thing we hope is that this time they will be animated with a new title instead of another remake.
New crash: And the same case of the previous one, only that this time the karts slope has already been exploited, so we only have to wait to see if we will end up seeing a completely new marsupial adventure or if Activision They will choose to adapt others of their old titles.
New Infamous: And introducing his particular superhero group, he arrives Infamous from the hand of Sucker punch. It must be said that, although Second Son is not among the great successes of the console, but that does not mean that there are fans who are crazy to continue seeing the potential of any element that occurs to the studio.
New Jak & Daxter: With a Naughty Dogs that has finished his work with Uncharted Y The Last of Us, it's time for two of his greats to return. Obviously you can think that the saga is dead, but the truth is that in the past there was an occasional attempt to restart. We will have to see if with PS5 that desire comes back seeing the success of the trilogies of Crash and Spyro.
