Sony PS5 i remastered backwards compatibility

[voodoo_]

During an interview with The Financial Times--a business publication--Kenichiro Yoshida, Sony's CEO confirmed that while they don't have anything official to say yet, they are working towards a new console release. "At this point, what I can say is it's necessary to have a next-generation hardware" were his words. Of course, with four iterations of PlayStation systems so far, it's no doubt that Sony would eventually continue its success with gaming consoles. Such a claim shouldn't be a surprise, but it does beg the question as to when the next generation of hardware will actually begin to roll out, marking an end to the current PlayStation 4, which has been selling incredibly well, and if Sony will continue their hot streak.

Yoshida's comment also possibly ties into a document that Sony has filed. Within it is a patent for "remastering by emulation", which would allow for "legacy game software" to be remastered for a "higher resolution display". Though, while the publishing of the patent and its details is from October 2018, Sony actually filed the patent back in 2016, meaning its not certain that it relates to any future hardware, or will definitively be utilized.

The original software is then played on the higher resolution display, with asset (such as texture) calls being intercepted, identified, and the data structure entered to retrieve the remastered asset having a matching identifier. The remastered asset is then inserted on the fly into the game presentation.
What are your thoughts? Are you ready for a "PlayStation 5" to maybe get a reveal soon? Do you think Sony can hold onto the lead they gained over Microsoft this gen? And would a new PlayStation system even offer backwards compatibility, when the PlayStation 4 notably did not?

Bez podrske za PS4 igre ima da prodju kao bosi po trnju.

Masa igra najnovije igre a ne stare. Mi ovde smo fosili koji su statistička greška

Reci to MS-u koji I dalje zaradjuje na Xbox 360 igrama prodajuci ih na X1.

Ma od toga im je sigurno najveći profit.

Reci to Sony-ju koji je razbio Microsoft u ovoj generaciji u svim segmentima bez ikakvog backwards computability-a

[dex3108]

Jeste razbio ali je MS napravio par pametnih poteza koje ce im pomoci iducu generaciju. Sony kada ugasi PSN podrsku za PS3 stotine igara odose u zaborav. MS ce za to vrijeme imati podrsku za sve generacije konzola. U doba digitalnog sadrzaja kome bi prije dao povjerenje u tom slucaju?

PS3 igre će se moći igrati i mogu se igrati na PS NOW servisu. Meni lično backwards compatibility nije potreban kad kupim konzolu ne stignem da odigram aktuelne igre a kamoli da se vraćam na stare. Imao je PS2 backwards compatibility pa su ga posle sklonili a imao je besplatan MP dok MS naplacivao pa se MS ipak u toj generaciji bolje prodavao. Tako da ko zna kako će tržište odreagovati, na sledećoj generacija backwards compatibility sigurno neće mnogo doprineti tome.

Zapravo znacice mnogo vise zbog prelaska na digitalnu distribuciju. Prije ako nema BC prodas konzolu i igre i zavrsis pricu. Sad akonema BC dzaba si bacao pare na digitalne verzije igre. A svi znamo kako je MS prosao kada je pokusao da "ukine" prodaju fizickih kopija igara na pocetku generacije.

Ako Sony i u narednoj generaciji konzola bude na nivou sa kvalitetnim igrama kao sto je sada...kome treba backwards? o tom bacwards-u se prica samo da bi MS jos uvek ostao relevantan, posto su u svemu ostalom ostali iza Sony-a na marginama...sem sto jos imaju najacu konzolu za koju gotovo i da nemaju first party igre...budalastina
