Okay, wait right there - don't you dare skip onto the next page. I know the idea of the PS5 hanging its hat on improved audio doesn't sound all that exciting, but it's probably the space where the new consoles can radically up their game.

In an interview with Wired, architect for the next Playstation, Mark Cerny, kept talking about how his team is looking to revolutionise gaming audio for the next generation. He rightly points out that there was barely any change on the audio front from the PS3 to the PS4, but there's so much scope to alter the how players think about sounds in games.

Currently, it's something we don't think about and simply take for granted, but cutting-edge releases like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice have proven just how integral great sound design can be in crafting a unique story.

Sony can capitalise on this area, and give fans a radical change they didn't know they needed.
