It will launch after Sony hits 100 million on PS4.

darthv722249d ago (Edited 2249d ago )

then 2019 it is...

Cyborgg2249d ago (Edited 2249d ago )

Announce in 2019 and release in early 2020. That will be 7 years after the PS4 was launched

bouzebbal2248d ago (Edited 2248d ago )

Announced and released next year.
They are releasing a phone update every 6 months.
A console every 5 years is nothing crazy.
2019 PS5 will be among us

DarkZane2248d ago

@bouzebbal

November 2019 would make the PS4 6 years old, which is usually when a new console releases. Sony also already said the PS3 life cycle of 7 years was too long. Plus, the PS4 Pro didn't increase the PS4 life cycle in any way. 2019 sound plausible.

Also, to anyone saying the PS4 is doing well and that means they shouldn't release another console because of it, don't bother. The success of a console has zero effect on when they release the successor, otherwise we would have gotten the PS3 much later because the PS2 was ridiculously successful.

dumahim2248d ago

I'm thinking that too since it seems most or all of the known 1st party exclusive seem to be coming out this year.

indysurfn2247d ago

I thought the article was going to say the precedent was the Sega Saturn, and then say we all no what happened with that.

kevnb2247d ago (Edited 2247d ago )

@bouzebbal when you get a new phone you aren't moving to a new platform (unless you switch platforms). They certainly could move to a phone like model where eventually older hardware is no longer supported while they keep iterating, except I don't think they really want to keep going that way.

kevnb2247d ago

@DarkZane it does have something to do with how successful the current model is, but they also don't want to have Microsoft get too much of a head start.

Who knows it might be 8K ready by the time it releases.

Eonjay2248d ago

Possibly, but like with the pro, Sony isn't gonna fully support it until consumers actually own 8k TVs...

"It will launch after Sony hits 100 million on PS4."

they would hit that number faster once they release the limited edition spiderman ps4 console ^_^

Announcement at 2020 E3

Release in November 2020.

7 years exactly.. gives it just enough time for technology to advance, and begin the new decade with a new console

DigitalRaptor2249d ago (Edited 2249d ago )

November 2019 makes sense from taking past consoles into account, and also based on how their first-party software is aligned. There's no guarantee the individual components will be ready for mass production then though, so it could end up releasing in 2020, for that reason alone.

Omnislashver362247d ago

Basically this. We might not get a custom 7nm chip ready in time, GDDR6 might be scarce as well even if it's only 20% more expensive than GDDR5.

But if it's ready, I can see it launching in 2019 easy. In fact, because of the similar architecture, I can already see them producing PS5 settings for late PS4 games, especially if dev kits are out in the wild. Not only do we have a precedent for great previous gen games launching in the same year as a nex gen system, we've also got more scalability and a similar architecture this time. Even if there are no new blockbusters for PS5, we can basically get higher modes for PS4 games on the PS5.

It's kind of scary for Xbox if this happens. If we get cross-gen games that even play on both systems, Xbox is going to become obsolete. That goes for the X and their next system. It won't even be fair.

jhoward5852249d ago (Edited 2249d ago )

I want the PS5 to come out in 2020 because I want so that I can reap the benefits of having a better gaming console with Navi architecture(7nm) under the hood.

bluefox7552248d ago

2019 sounds more realistic, though honestly, they'd be just fine waiting til 2020 IMO.

xenz2248d ago (Edited 2248d ago )

Sony has a pretty good momentum right now regarding exclusives and console sales. It would be foolish of them to announce a PS5 this year and release it before Christmas. I think a 2019 announcemenet and a release by the end of 2019 or early 2020 would be the best move.

Just finished TRI and started my playthrough of TRII. Great games and great remakes.

just_looken36m ago

You mean decent made for modern audience version's they keep altering the game as time goes on fingers crossed the disc version is version 1.0 but i doubt it.

Here is just some videos showing changes altered clothing/artwork and blood trying to make it T rated.

The new tomb raiders are also trying to make them E rated

The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx3h ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

just_looken29m ago

A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.

-Foxtrot4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

just_looken24m ago

If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.

Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.

You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.

So your idea was on the table bit got canned.

CrimsonWing694h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

Inverno3h ago

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing693h ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

JEECE4h ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Fishy Fingers3h ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Preview - Game Informer

Marcus Stewart - "My biggest takeaway from Shadow of the Erdtree is that – surprise – it’s more Elden Ring. It’s the most unexciting take imaginable, but outside of the intriguing yet not immediately noticeable wrinkle added by the Scadutree upgrades, it’s a new excuse to revisit a world I love. It’s tough to get a sense of the expansion’s narrative implications and to be honest, that’s the last thing I care about in this game, as interesting as its lore is on the surface. All I want is to experience a new gauntlet of trials and surprises, and Shadow of the Erdtree seems poised to deliver that and then some."
