PlayStation has been pretty tight-lipped about its next-gen console, with only its controller, logo and some spec details unveiled. However, we will finally learn (a bit) more about the PS5.

Jim Ryan, the President & CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced via a PlayStation Blog post today that a digital showcase about the games launching on the console will air next week. The event which will run for "a bit more than an hour" to introduce "the next generation of games" from various game studios.

While it was not clarified if we'll finally get our first look at the console itself or get more information about its pricing, Jim Ryan assured that this event is part of a series of PS5 updates and that after next week, they will have more to share.

The online PS5 event is planned for next Thursday, June 4, at 1:00 pm Pacific Time which will stream on Twitch and YouTube.

They better ship it at launch with at least 1TB optical drive storage and at leas 256 for SSD, unless they plan to sell you these "separately" as it always ends. I'm mostly interested in the launch price, I really regret having bought the PS4 at launch and this time maybe I'll wait a year or two.

i van awnser you for the vita part lol, the vita was discontinued, you cant make even cartridges for new games since last year february so why would they add any vita thing since they discontinued the entire thing in 2019?

I was thinking about the remote play option maybe they can remap something with L2 and R2 so you can play it. The vita had some untapped potential but Sony never utilized it correctly.

things have changed game files will be reduced because they no longer need to have the same data written 5 to 10x to the custom ssd so the disc will be the download file and key , this whole console is about loading times in less than 3 seconds

I hate it because some games are like almost 100gb so that takes up a good 25% of my HD I have the launch 500gb the whole point of the disk was to preserve your HD space. They should give you the option if you wanna wait with the load times on the disk or dump your game to increase load times

preety sure games are codded to work with hdd or in ps5 sdd speeds, or else they would stutter like hell and back on sounds and world building.

you cant just code a game that expects the speed to read a file be x and then make it take 10x and expect it to work, specialy on next gen, where all games will use sdd speed as expected read time for frames and object loading.Also im not sure if ps4 or xbo drives were even meant to be constant spinning at top speed for long periods of times like they do on instals, they may not be designed that way.

I understand I guess for me it was a pain to be limited on my physical disks it's almost Sony wants you to go all digital. I cant play a game like I used to on my PS2 or PS3 because I have to delete an installed game off my HJD and then wait for the game to load to the point it is playable also I still have to wait for whatever game update it is.

I hated GT Sport for that that game took up a good chunk of my HD

Yes the uncharted series can't die its like a nintendos mario

Hmm I thought 4 was the last one I thought they finished with the series I hope there is a new Killzone game.. Same thing with GOW I thought that was all done unless they going to use his son idk how much they can continue with GOW.

i bet they will announce a new uncharted game, probably also god of war, or gta 6

There is probably about God of War. They are definitely working on it for PS5. Dont know if they are working on it for PS4 as well.

For a new uncharted game.. I believe that it will continue into PS5. Loved those games since PS3 and PS4. Can't wait!

Okay... i bet the wont even show the console. xD

I hope they answer the top questions

Is the VR Head Set going to be compatible with the PS5
Is the Vita still going to be relevant with the PS5
Is the Dualshock 4 Controllers going to be cross compatible
Do you still need to install data on the HD if you have the disk
How silent is the fan
How long is the controller battery going to last / how long does it take the battery to fully charge
How is BC Looking for PS3 games and Possible PS2 and PS1
Are more PS4 games going to be available on PS Now since the PS5 is launched
Are PS4 games going to be cheaper since PS5 is coming out or How much of an increase will PS5 games be

Much more questions but these are the important ones.

I thought they had said VR headset would be a while back , but I'm probably wrong, unles they intend to support both the old and new headset (I doubt it, Sony will want everyone buying the new one) This will be strange though, as the Kinect bundle was one of the main killers of Xbox One (I know headset will be separate, but still the cots is high)

Vita is dead, Sony don't care, I don't even know if they will ever bother with another attempt, they may be forced to.

Dualshock 4 Controller support unlikely

Yes, we already install data now, it is practically garuanteed now, due to the amount of data required to be processed, but more so because they have boasted so much about "ma sp33d"

I've come to realise the PS4 and Xbox One are still very hot and fairly loud running. Due to the PS3 and Xbox 360 being big fails in this department, so nothing has been made of it. Previous gens were never this bad. I don;t think I have ever had a console fail until the PS3 Xbox 360 gen, then several.

Technically, they should be able to support all previous gens, as it's Sony, I doubt they will, what;s going in our favour is Microsoft are doing really well in this department, this should pressure Sony.

PS Now should have many more games, I've heard it's bad from a lot, I've heard some say it's ok, but I don't use it so don't know.

I agree with you, good questions which need addressing, but I really think they'll have a much better unveil than Microsoft, decent content (obviously not a lot, as they need to maintain momentum up to launch, but enough and good quality). I expect them to give a good amount of info on specs, but as the Xbox is more powerful, I expect them to detract and talk constantly about the SSD and exaggerate about how much difference it makes.

Rather than boring everyone with bull, they should concentrate on their strengths - good games.

They are definitely working on those 3 games for next gen consoles, and im almost 100% sure we will see at least 1 of them announced next week.

When they first started digital games dumb me thought digital would be cheaper than physical. I mean they're cutting out the middle man they don't have to manufacture any discs so I thought for sure it'd be $10 cheaper at least and go down in prices faster. The opposite is true, physical is cheaper and go down in prices faster. That is why I prefer physical, if they would stop being greedy and make digital cheaper then I'll go digital.

This was my qualm years back. They save a lot in production and distribution, but put the price up? It was a joke, they've gotten better but still over priced, at least the sales are better now.

This is my total guess what will happen price wise Two models

$599 - Plays PS1-PS5 games, maybe bigger storage
$499 - Plays PS4+PS5 games, maybe less storage

Only thing is , I just don't know if PS3's architecture can be added to any console.

This doesn't make sense, if anything it would look like this:

$499 - Plays PS1- PS3 + PS5 games (not PS4)
$599 - Plays PS1- PS5 games, maybe more storage

But I think they will apply backwards compatibility to all models. The PS3 screwed the pooch in the past, this si the onmly model they will have any difficulty with backwards compatibility.

PS4 will run games as standard, it's practically the same hardware.

PS1 and PS2 can be run however they like, they're already emulated on current hardware.

PS3 is a different architecture, but it was also a powerful and unique system, so emulation is difficult. Games which were ported to PS4 should be fine, others would need work, unless Sony emulate them (they have the source code for the O/S, etc.)

Well to me what you're suggesting doesn't make sense. The PS4 architecture is practically identical to the PS5, while the PS3 is a totally unique architecture that will be a pain in the ass to bring back, and you think they're going to charge less for that? I won't be surprised if there is no PS3 backwards compatibility at all. It could just be PS4-PS5 and that's it, or maybe they decide to throw in PS2 and PS1 because it's not difficult. We'll see.

That would suck to spend so much money on a VR headset if it couldn't be carried over to the PS5. It's going to suck if you cant use your old controllers on the PS5 I remember the PS3 you could use the PS4 controller via usb and I think Bluetooth if you was on a certain firmware update controllers are super expensive it would be nice if you can use your older ones for more controller support. My PS4 is 6 years old I haven't played it in a while but I do remember due to old age it used to blow very loud after a hour of game play... my Xbox One fan is silent but then again I only had it for 9 months so it isn't a long time.

I'm pretty sure they will be BC with the PS4 but I'm crossing my fingers for PS3 support if they cant give us the BC for PS3 they should atleast release a PS3 Classic with PS2 BC (this would be a sweet thing to do)... I had the free trial of PS Now and from what I remember it had a ton of PS3 games but hardly PS4 games and the PS4 games they did have 9/10 times you already had them if you had PS Plus. I just hope the PS5 will proide amazing games for the future and they work on thier PS+ and PS Now service.

Link? nothing's really been confirmed about PS5 other than PS4 b/c AFAIK, and the controller.

Actually probably right because of licensing problems.
