[QUOTE="spoonman, post: 294961, member: 382"] A "cash grab"? Sony, selling PS5 systems at $399 / $499 (for digital only, optical drive, respectfully). They are likely losing $200+ on every system sold. I only currently have a 1080p setup, with plans of eventually upgrading to 4K, but even on 1080p, the upgrade in visuals is very apparent. Just watch, the Ratchet & Clank A Rift in Time, Horizon Forbidden West, or Spider-Man Miles Morales trailers, and you will immediately see a generational leap in visuals. Especially in Miles Morales, if you've played through Spider-Man, on the PS4 Pro. You'll see it's running at 60fps, you'll notice flashier, and more particle effects, impressive volumetric fog/clouds, ray traced reflections in the puddles, and many more on screen people/cars, and that's just the start. [url]https://youtu.be/T03PxxuCfDA[/url] The audio (Tempest 3D audio) can be taken advantage of with any set of quality headphones, and connected to the DualSense controller as well. Video and audio enhancements aside, you are getting some real game changers here, quite literally. The fast (up to) 9GB/sec transfer rate is going to eliminate all in game loading. Not only that, but developers will no longer have to add pointless sections in games (narrow pathways where you slowly crawl through, and lengthy stairs to climb, long elevator rides, etc). Graphical assets will not have to be duplicated over and over again to speed up HDD caching. This can greatly reduce file/disc sizes. Those assets can just be drawn on the fly, as needed. Then you have PSVR. If you're into that, it's going to be fully supported on the PS5. You should get Pro performance, on the many PSVR games that support the enhancements. They are also likely going to release an upgraded PSVR 2.0 unit for it. The DualSense controller is said to be very impressive as well. Precise haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and other upgrades, will round it out. And sure, a few games are getting PS4 ports, but they were developed in tandem with the PS5 versions. They will lack a lot of the upgrades that the PS5 will see. Ratchet & Clank A Drift Apart would not work since it's relying a lot on the high bandwidth transfer rates for it's play. As far as the NES to Genesis comparison, it was more about on screen colors, and sprites back then. Though, I could point out a few late generation NES games, which are more impressive than early Genesis releases. I have no doubt that the jump from PS4 to PS5 system, will be much more impressive, than that of the PS3 to PS4. We have only just seen the start of what's possible. Wait until they've started pushing A.I. upscaling techniques, and more optimized ray tracing. It's going to be exciting. I also hope we see a new Zen FX4 engine, and hopefully get a free upgrade and import of our tables to it. [/QUOTE]
