the Sony Playstation 5 has been fully revealed and it's
incredible but I'll be sharing the details right after this.
If you're new here I want to stay up to date with the latest tech please
hit subscribe followed by the Bell, you can also keep up on Facebook Instagram
and Twitter by clicking the links in the description. So for the past few
months we've had plenty of speculation about the design of the Sony Playstation
5 but we now know everything we've had the design revealed the hardware
the specs the features in even the launch titles so today we're going
to be covering it all before we get into it though please like the video
if you're looking forward to the Sony Playstation 5 and let me know in the
comments if you're going to be getting the PlayStation 5 the Xbox series X or
maybe even both. there does seem to be a big divide between people that love it
and the ones that hate it as always that there's plenty of memes floating around
comparing it to things like a Netgear router, an expensive campus design,
a duck's peak and my personal favorite the five stages of the playstation 5
pregnancy. but whether you loved it or hated is refreshing to see a big shift
in design from the predecessor and for them not to be afraid of doing something
new the console and the controller design fit very well together and we
will of course be giving two versions of the PlayStation 5 we're getting one
with the disk drive and one without personally I would be going for the
digital version as it is slimmer and it's got the symmetry that its larger
counterpart is missing the console can be stored upright or on its side and
to be fair the design they've come for it looks like it's going to allow for
decent airflow at the top of the fins to aid with the cooling system there's
plenty of arguments when it comes to a Playstation vs. Xbox and I tend to
sway towards Team Xbox but I do prefer the PlayStation 5 design I mean it's
sleek and it's modern looking whereas Microsoft have decided that they're
just gonna slap components inside a box add some vents and stick a green LED
on top of course we also had a preview of games in the launch event and after
report said that the event maybe games only the PlayStation 5 reveal at the end
it was a welcome surprise they showcased small clips of lots of anticipated games
whether you like them or not they demonstrated at some incredible
graphical improvement the playstation 5 has some advanced features for in game
graphics and effects but we'll go over them in more detail shortly we get a new
controller along with the PlayStation 5 which is also incredible and it's
got some decent improvements over the DualShock. The dual sense controller
that's coming with the PlayStation 5 is using a new haptic feedback technology
and adaptive triggers the adaptive triggers allow the PlayStation 5
controller to adjust resistance for different gameplay effects to try
and create a more immersive experience where possible the dual sense controller
on the playstation 5 also features a built-in microphone and a USB type-c
port we also get a slightly more rounded design and this is to assist with grip
and button controls and we've also gone for a mostly two-tone color scheme that
goes well with the PlayStation 5 design the share button has been renamed to the
create button and this is reportedly going to allow new ways for players to
create gameplay content to share with the PlayStation 5 world Sony haven't
given any details on exactly how this is gonna work but I imagine it's some sort
of clipping or replay feature that's gonna save the last 30 seconds or minute
of footage the last change we've got is the PlayStation button which is now
a cutout of the PlayStation logo and not just a button so overall the PlayStation
5 controller has remained pretty much the same and similar to the predecessor
but it still got a few improvements and minor upgrades to please fans
but still give them at the controller they're used to using when it comes to
the specs inside the PlayStation 5 but we're also welcomed with a very powerful
console we've already been given details of internal specifications and they're a
huge improvement on the predecessor one of the most requested specs that Sony
have delivered on is the solid-state drive for those unaware solid-state
drives are much faster than conventional hard drives and they reduce load times
considerably developers requested this not only to speed and upload times
but actually to increase the in-game immersion it allows developers to focus
on the virtual world without having to worry about loading getting in the way
of the experience now when it comes to the graphics processing in audio
Sony have also done a great job after teaming up with AMD they've delivered a
great overall set up the GPU in the PS5 is a custom RDNA 2 chip from AMD it's
been heavily optimized for performance the custom rDNA to chip has the logic
and feature set that was used in the playstation 4 and the playstation 4
pro meaning that there will be backwards compatibility we've also tested at 100
game from the ps4 and reportedly they all ran perfectly on the PS5
they've also added a new geometry and intersection engine for the PlayStation
5 ray tracing abilities Sony have done things a different way than normal and
the CPU and GPUs run permanently in boost mode but the frequencies
it can still change this means that the PlayStation 5 is always running
at maximum capacity and the power draw won't change the GPU is capped
at 2.2 3 gigahertz which translates to 10.28 teraflops and 36 compute units so
as we've seen if this delivers us some great visual performance when it comes
to the CPU at there again using AMD with the Zen 2 based octa-core chip
the CPU is always in boost mode and it's capped at a clock speed of 3.5 gigahertz
they've only made a brief reference to the cooling system being used and it
reportedly it did cause delays early on when it comes to the audio on the
PlayStation 5 that they're trying to create more immersion by introducing
volume changes as well as phase shifts within the game the PlayStation 5 is
using a custom 3d audio system powered by the tempest engine it can deal with
complex audio processing and generate 3d audio effects to all gamers regardless
of their sound hardware so whether it's headphones TV or sound bar they're using
they should still benefit from the effects the PlayStation 5 is coming
with 16 gigs of RAM which is G DDR 6 and 256 bit the internal storage is going
to be at 825 gig SSD but they will be allowing expandable storage expandable
storage is going to be via an nvme slot for the PlayStation 5 games and
it's also gonna have a USB hard drive support but this is going to be for
PlayStation 4 games only as we saw at the launch event we're gonna have one
version with the CD drive and a digital version with no CD drive included when
it comes to how good the graphics will be you we've already had a demonstration
from Epic Games that went into detail epic games that released a small clip
of a game that uses the Unreal 5 engine and this was played on the PlayStation
5 we can see from the demo that the graphics are going to be a huge step
up from the predecessor and it comes up with some great technical improvements
we've got a nanite geometry system that allows for sub pixel geometry and it can
provide incredible detail to be rendered that almost cannot even be perceived by
the human eye the pixel detail means that what you won't notice it straight
away as you get closer you'll begin to see it in real time as you would in real
life we've also got a new lumen system which is said to create accurate bounces
of light this further improves on the realism we've also been assured by Epic
Games that this is actual gameplay and not cinematic as many complained
about in earlier teasers for another console and the PlayStation 5 is also
capable of 8k the graphical power was also well demonstrated in yesterday's
launch event and it showed us just how good the next-gen PlayStation 5 is going
to be now when it comes to launch date and pricing the PlayStation 5 price is
predicted to be about $500 in the USA and 450 dollars in the UK the price
is a prediction by analysts given the timing and the hardware inside
the consoles and while it's likely to be accurate there may have caused be
variation when it comes to release date Sony have confirmed the PlayStation 5
is going to be released in the holidays of 2020 as expected so we'll be seeing
it at the end of the year and most definitely before Christmas consoles
are always released at this time to take advantage of the boosted Christmas sales
so this was always to be expected unfortunately that's all the news
I've got for you today but we pretty much have covered everything but if
anything else does come to light I'll be sharing with you guys straight away
as always though I'd like to know your thoughts in the comments who out there
is waiting for the Sony Playstation 5 and what do you think of this new
design but thanks for watching the video if you like to smash a thumbs up
if you didn't hit the thumbs down twice and I'll see you guys in the next one
