PS5: What The Reveal CONFIRMS About Next-Gen Gaming

The next generation is nearly upon us.

You can always tell when one console generation is ending and another is starting to begin. All of a sudden rumours start getting more and more persistent, and it seems like all you hear about is leaked features from the next console.

This time is different though. This time we aren't just going off rumours.

Through an out-of-nowhere Wired article, Sony have released a bunch of new details, not only about the next PlayStation but presumably about the focus of the next-generation of gaming as a whole.

There's a lot of detail stuffed into the writeup, detailing the power of the console, some of its features and even some things that we had no idea were being focused on.

Some of this stuff is majorly impressive as well, and if even half of the things we've been told so far end up coming to pass then we're really in a treat when the next generation rolls around.

Using the power of analysis we've combed through the business speak and picked out some of the key features of the next generation, locking in what we can expect based on this information.

One of the more dubious parts of the PS5 information we've received so far is that 8K resolution is part of the package.

Although the idea of playing games at double the current resolution is a great one, 4K is already a pretty expensive and taxing inclusion to any console.

How much more will games need in order to run at 8K? The consoles will need to be a lot more powerful if they hope to achieve this, especially when you consider that not every game can achieve 4K in this generation.

Of course, for the people that can afford 8K displays, this is certainly going to be good news. We just don't think that that's going to be a very big focus for many gamers. If nothing else, it does show that visuals will be just as important in the next generation.

This one seems more like a possibility, rather than a confirmed future for the next-generation.
