I’ve been a Playstation guy my whole life. When I hear news that a new one is being release, you have my attention. Sony has announced a release date for the Playstation 5. The console is expected to come out in the Winter of 2020. The Playstation 4 was released in 2013 so the release of the new system was rumored to be coming sooner rather than later.
Sony released a statement about the Playstation 5 and gave us some insight on what might make it’s way to the new gaming system:
“The “more” refers to something I’m quite excited about – a preview of the new controller that will ship with PlayStation 5. One of our goals with the next generation is to deepen the feeling of immersion when you play games, and we had the opportunity with our new controller to reimagine how the sense of touch can add to that immersion.
To that end, there are two key innovations with the PlayStation 5’s new controller. First, we’re adopting haptic feedback to replace the “rumble” technology found in controllers since the 5th generation of consoles. With haptics, you truly feel a broader range of feedback, so crashing into a wall in a race car feels much different than making a tackle on the football field. You can even get a sense
for a variety oft extures when running through fields of grass or plodding through mud.The second innovation is something we call adaptive triggers, which have been incorporated into the trigger buttons (L2/R2). Developers can program the resistance of the triggers so that you feel the tactile sensation of drawing a bow and arrow or accelerating an off-road vehicle through rocky terrain. In combination with the haptics, this can produce a powerful experience that better simulates various actions. Game creators have started to receive early versions of the new controller, and we can’t wait to see where their imagination goes with these new features at their disposal.
While there’s much more to share about PlayStation 5 in the year ahead, we have plenty of blockbuster experiences coming your way on PS4, including Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima. I’d like to thank all PlayStation fans for continuing the journey with us, as we embark on the future of games.”
It would appear that upgrades to the controller seem to be the focus on the new system. It doesn’t go into a ton of detail into what’s being included, but I’m eager to find out. I’m sure the new system will have a bunch of new features. It always does. As long as I get a new Grand Theft Auto to come out the new console, I will be happy.
I’d love for a remake of the Godfather game. Other than that, give me a good experience with FIFA and I call it a day. God Of War is a great game too. Let us know what your favorite Playstation games are!
