The reality of an SSD. Mark Cerny did wonders to make PS5 100x faster than PS4.

I'm thinking this has more to do with the CPU/GPU than the SSD. But it's ok to think that way too.

"Through a custom‐designed high‐speed SSD, we plan to realize game data processing speeds that are approximately 100 times faster than PS4." - corporate meeting strategy document.100 times processing speed is also shown in deep drive, with SSD and other processing pathway and hardware. Cpu and gpu aren't listed. https://encrypted-tbn0.gsta...

Neonridr1451d ago

@Army - the Sony camp is definitely on something along those lines for sure..

anonymousfan1452d ago

I would tend to agree but I am reserving judgment until I see the pricetag on that beast

masterfox1452d ago

100x processing performance of PS4 ? holy damn !, if this is true we have upon us a generational leap like the gaming phenomenon of the 90's that was the jump from 2d to 3d, let's see what happens.

Dabigsiebowski1452d ago (Edited 1452d ago )

Its just beefed out juicy specs. Almost the best of which you can build on pc. The nice thing about this generation is the years of optimization possibilities these consoles have. I bet that unreal tech demo will find a way to hit at least 60fps at 1440 with more and better effects to go with it in a few years time. There is no way even epic has managed or sony themselves have managed to scratch the surface of the new cpu and gpu possibilities let alone everything else.

Neonridr1452d ago

I don't know about almost the best of what you can build. The PS4 is like a 2070 Super. Hardly the cream of the crop and the 3xxx series is right around the corner. But still an impressive leap no doubt.

porkChop1452d ago

No. 100x the data processing speeds. The hard drives in the current consoles are pretty slow, so that's believable.

shinoff21831d 19h ago

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg1d 18h ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK1d 18h ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

Exvalos1d 4h ago

I don't know why Sony is not getting some of the legendary ps1 games from square like parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi

outsider16241d 19h ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog1d 18h ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN1d 14h ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Xeofate1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

I think there are a ton of good games on Premium, and don't sleep on the movie collection if you like 90's and 2000's movies, the selection is stacked with classics and gets updated pretty regularly.

Abnor_Mal1d 17h ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

Redgrave1d 13h ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator1d 5h ago

Colony Wars, G-Police, Black and PsiOps were all amazing games. Such creative games from a golden age.

DefenderOfDoom219h ago

I would love to play Black again on a higher difficult setting . Black was so fun to play!

MrBaskerville1d 14h ago

G-Police is nice. But might be among the hardest games I've ever played.

Bathyj1d 12h ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.

MrBaskerville1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

You can just buy it, you don't need premium.

And it's still good, but there's a couple of early missions that are extremely tough. But they don't really make games like this anymore.

DarXyde1d 7h ago

2Xtreme was the first game I ever bought for PS Plus (I still have the PS1 version somewhere).

Game is awful, but it's stupid fun. Like Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

hiroyukisanada23h ago

I should clarify that I was referring to the Classics catalog, in particular. Only 1 PS1 game I've loved is the Legend of Dragoon and the Tekken/Soul Caliburs on PSP

Petebloodyonion1d 17h ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts1d 16h ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

isarai1d 13h ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion1d 10h ago

Indeed it's bad but it does offer incredible Hollywood star power so for free it might draw a crowd while giving a boost to this game.
Just remember Fallout 76 was the biggest turd and yet there are now tons of ppl playing it.

shinoff218323h ago

When I seen video on this game I thought Holy sht this is gonna be awesome. Then the footage continued and I seen what type of game it was going for. Was so disappointed. Would've loved a gta style game not from Rockstar,like we had back in the day some studios trying. I'm all about being different but a little gta clone idea been cool with.

Yui_Suzumiya21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

To be fair, I'd play Crime Boss before GTA any day. I mean I have no interest in either but just for the celebs I'd pick Crime Boss, lol

JL29301d 11h ago

How is a 6 year old game a win for anything? Anyone who cares has already played it.

Petebloodyonion1d 10h ago

Simply because ppl do play it!
As much as I don't like it GTA V always managed a boost of ppl when it was offered on Game Pass or PS+.
NOW RDR 2 was never offered on a subscription service.
Again the point isn't about will hardcore gamers play the game because we already played it. it's about having a huge star power game never offered on service that will make casual ppl subscribe to it.

MrBaskerville1d 3h ago

You are aware that new people are born every day? All the 5 year olds probably didn't play it when it released.

But I guess you played every game ever released, which is quite impressive.

JL293016h agoShow
seanpitt231d 2h ago

A 6 years old game is a win? Yes it's a masterpiece but I am sure most of hardcore gamers have already played it! I doubt it would be shifting ps plus extra subs if there was a native ps5 version or 60fps option then maybe

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein29d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers28d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long28d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius28d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum0623h ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius28d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
