On the night of June 11-12, Sony held an hourly presentation Playstation 5, where she showed a lot of game trailers and revealed the console design. And although you already know the basic information from the broadcast, portal Vgc prepared a material with details that you might have overlooked during the broadcast.
Immediately after the Hitman III trailer, the company “quietly” showed the PlayStation 5 boot screen, which gave the first idea of what style the console’s user interface will be implemented in. Sony later confirmed that the PS5 will receive a completely redesigned UI design – it will implement a new visual language, add more practicality and increase speed.
If you thought that Sony’s consoles, more than the original PlayStation 3, will be gone, then the dimensions of the PS5 may surprise you unpleasantly. The dimensions of the new set-top box have not yet been officially announced, but users were able to independently calculate the approximate scale of the PlayStation 5, relying on the drive and a USB port, and compared it with other consoles.
PlayStation 5 will be pretty big. By rough estimates, the height of the console will be about 40 centimeters and not everyone will have so much space to put it upright. Fortunately, Sony envisioned this and added the possibility of horizontal arrangement to the design of the set-top box.
During the presentation, the company took just one second to this, but after the broadcast, I posted a selection of PlayStation 5 renders, including with the classic version of the console location. The only feature – because of the bent on both sides of the body to put the PS5 horizontally, apparently, it will be possible only with the help of the stand.
The exclusives announced at the PlayStation 5 presentation demonstrated the use of the hardware capabilities of the console, and Gran Turismo 7 became one of them. In this case, developers make a big bet on the use of ray tracing, thanks to which realistic reflections of objects appear in the game.
Few expected the new Ratchet & Clank to be one of the most impressive PlayStation 5 presentation games, but Insomniac Games managed to surprise everyone. In the Rift Apart gameplay shown on the show, you can watch Ratchet and Clank travel through spatial faults and instantly transfer from one detailed world to another, and this happens without any real-time loading screens. This result was made possible thanks to the high-speed SSD installed in the PS5 with a read throughput of 5.5 GB / s, which provides downloads of whole levels in a split second.
The long-awaited disclosure of the PlayStation 5 design did not give an exhaustive look at the console – for example, we still do not know how it has iron and what is located behind. Nevertheless, looking at the images, you can notice some interesting details. For example, the presence of two buttons and two USB ports on the front panel.
The buttons are almost certainly responsible for powering and ejecting the drive (in Digital Edition, respectively, there is only one). Regarding ports, the front panel contains the usual Type-A, which is necessary for compatibility with a wide range of existing peripheral devices, and Type-C – the new universal USB standard, which is gaining momentum, which will probably be used to connect the next-generation PlayStation VR helmet.
Despite the fact that the DualSense controller was presented in detail back in April, they still paid attention to The Future of Gaming Show. During the broadcast, Sony showed the bottom of the gamepad, where you can see the 3.5 mm audio jack and several contact points necessary to connect to the dock. At the same time, we have not seen the gamepad at the back, so there may also be surprises there, for example, in the form of additional controls.
Along with the design of the PlayStation 5, Sony also presented a line of accessories for the new console, including a Pulse 3D wireless headset with 3D audio support, a new 1080p dual-lens HD camera, a media console with voice commands and a charging dock for two DualSense controllers. All devices are made in common style with the PS5 and should go on sale at the same time as the console, although we still do not know the exact date or their cost.
