I get what you mean, but Phil Spencer is not really comparable to Cerny. He is more of a marketing guy. He throws around stuff like teraflops to mislead fanboys. The interview with the Xbox hardware team was pretty cringy. They were throwing buzzwords like "framerates we've never seen before" etc. The console itself is pretty awesome don't get me wrong.

i'm so happy that after years of consoles being considered inferior to PC gaming, the PS5 especially among the current gen consoles leaped so far into the future with new technology that now i believe we're going to have just another era of improving those features before any new innovations can occur, and that's a good thing because already the technology brought into the PS5, compared to its predecessor, makes it superior in so many dimensions, and going forward i see the most major improvements to the next say 2 generations of consoles will be having more powerful hardware to handle games at higher framerates AND high resolutions at the same time (high graphics settings at 4K while still getting 120FPS), having more capacity of that fast NVMe SSD storage and probably improve load times even more, and of course improving the already amazing haptic feedback and ergonomics of the controller.

@@Nekiplex missing out on what? playing ps4 games with more glithces since the backwards compatibility was half-baked and rushed? ps5 has no games kid.

Protect. Mark Cerny. At. All. Cost. I want him on the team that makes the next PS6 in x years.

[@binein90er]

Not rly sure but i think nobody really cares what you want

[@bamban_garcia5562]

Mark Cerny has been working on PlayStation since the early 1990s he's pretty much the unofficial vice president on the technical side for the entire division of course you will see him in the team that builds the PlayStation 6

I loved this video. I love listening to how technology is evolving even though I am not rich enough to evolve with it. I am still yet to see or experience next-gen consoles even though they've been around for a year. In the same way, I am yet to experience 4K Media and high refresh rates on mobile devices. (still stuck to 60fps)

[@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep]

Exactly, the technology to make such things mainstream in other words priced the same as old tech still isn't there. The advancment of technology in some areas has been too slow.

Congratulations for the PS5. I can't wait to see the Unreal 5 games running on the architecture you and your team have designed.

[@kusayfarhan9943]

Unreal 5 could be a game changer. Exciting times

Beyond the very illuminating technical explanations, this video serves as a great summary for how games utilized stuff like the SSD, 3D audio, ray-tracing, much faster CPU cores, and haptics in the first of the PS5.

[@PixelatedBeing]

I'd love to see an extended like interview of this like Ars Technica does with their game dev interviews.

The Road To PS5

[@Jskarekr0wT]

The Audio and the haptics on the controller made me get one. Was going for the xbox but after testing out both, I really enjoy the PS5 way more. Also doesn't help that I have a monster PC that can play xbox games. The haptics on the controller for single player games really immerses you into the game even though it is subtle on most titles.

[@zybch]

They're the two things that STOPPED me getting one. I don't want yet more useless gimicks like that stupid touchpad to get in the way of my games and take me out of the experience hen I'm forced to use them.

[@TAKEYOURCREATINE]

I'm happy for you and all, but I've played a good bit of games utilizing the full spectrum of PS5 haptics... and it's completely overrated. It's the SSD that really amazes me.

[@cmdr101z8]

@@zybch You can turn them off you know…

[@A1CLumadue]

@@zybch the TouchPad has been there since PS4 lol.

[@ps5hasnogames55]

"3d audio" is a gimmick, no game actually uses it. haptics and trigger effects are also a useless gimmick that reduce the lifespan of the controller (internal plastic gears will only last so long before cracking due to friction) and mind you the lifespan on the controller is already known to be short (on average just 417 hours of use before drifting occurs).

[@muzzer6362]

Thanks for the video this is very interesting

[@EmmettLBrown2015]

This was some awesome video, what an amazing guy!

[@Grownman649]

The 3d audio is absolutely amazing with a pair of Bose headphones.

Yeah, something about Intelligent and charismatic people just makes you really hooked… lol

This man singlehandedly made me who's a hardcore member of the masterrace community appreciate the PS5 within just the first few minutes of this 15 minute video! I've yet become a bit more openminded than before. Thanks a ton Wired! And the fact that he's also a game dev made me even more of a fan! He's up there with Carmack!

[@ladydimitrescu2528]

grow up

[@themannyzaur]

This was a fun watch and this man is so smart! Amazing job by him and his team Can we get a Series X one too Wired? Thanks!
