Sony’s PlayStation 5 may just be the most millennial console ever, because in true fashion it looks like the biggest gun in its holster is the ability to give you games right now. Solid State Drives will drive the next generation forward, allowing for more complex and resource-heavy games to load quicker than the signal your butt sends to your butt when you realise that that fart you just let rip wasn’t gaseous in nature.

Going forward, Microsoft isn’t looking to kick off the next generation of console gaming on the technical backfoot again.

In news that won't surprise anyone, games on the PlayStation 5 are going to look really REALLY good according to Yakuza series director Toshihiro Nagoshi.

While an official look at the PlayStation 5 is many many months away, the Japanese company was more than happy to show off some of the grunt that’ll be underneath the PS5 hood when it does eventually launch. How long does it take to load a game on the PlayStation 5 in comparison to the PlayStation 4 Pro? Answer: Not long at all.

Able to render spooky backdrops with proper digital ACTING with ease (or a team of Japanese developers who long to remember what it was like to sleep once), the RE Engine is another example of software pushing a console generation to the bleeding edge of what’s possible in the waning days of that era. According to Capcom’s latest financial reports, that engine is only getting started as the next generation of devices will also see the Big C use it for future projects.

We know that there’s a new PlayStation coming. Beside it being absolutely bleeding obvious, Sony recently revealed the first confirmed details about the next generation PlayStation through a Wired exclusive. We now know a fair bit about the console but not its release date.

The PlayStation 5 sounds sound very, very expensive. While that sort of pricing information was left put of Wired’s article, it was part of the interview, and according to Cerny the PS5 will be “appealing to gamers in light of its advanced feature set.”

We’re waiting patiently for news of the next generation of consoles, but that news is slow to trickle through. Today, courtesy of Wired, we have our first taste of what to really expect. In an exclusive look at the next generation of PlayStation with PlayStation 4 lead architect Mike Cerny, the publication says that Sony has been hard at work on the new console for the last four years.
