There are custom logic to deal with the priority level "shortfall" in regular SSD somewhere in the chain. I have no idea where Mark Cerny address...

They have screenshots comparing scenes from both games. Probably an in-between. The original game had an unfinished level (with enemies and NPCs...
I don't think so. e.g., on Apple devices, the SSD controller is also custom (It has additional security-related logic) according to their iOS...
Most of the magic is in the SSD controller (and the software stack) if I read Cerny's presentation correctly. That is partly why they can take 3rd...
Demon's Souls Remake was mentioned by the PS Blog: https://blog.playstation.com/2020/06/11/playstation-studios-first-look-at-9-new-ps5-games/ I...
Minimally, you'll get some advantages with > 825GB capacity (high performance) 3rd party SSDs, plus any speed difference if they go beyond 7GHz...
Sony’s SSD supports 6 priority level, regular ones only have 2. To compensate for this difference, Cerny mentioned briefly that the regular SSDs...
I see SackBoy on that list and adjusted my expectation. Perhaps there is no user generated content in this game. It’s a straight MP platformer (?).
Sony should just come out and clarify. I thought it was “adding” at first, but there is some room for misinterpretation. e.g., “adding” a new SSD...
Internal NVMe expansion would be splendid <3 I wasn’t sure if I should believe it just yet. Do you have a link ?
It sounds like in the future, you can replace the internal drive (matching strict performance criteria), and attach an external one (HDD or SSD)...
Yes, in the PS3 era, some enterprising guy was selling a US$15 kit to route the internal HDD connector to outside the console for a larger drive.
I see. So we deduced that the NVMe expansion is internal. And the cooling system may have to take care of it too (?). Would be great if some...
I didn’t vote but expected a b/w unit. As long as the design has character, I don’t care if people call it pretty or ugly. Considered a missed...
Did Sony confirm the SSD connector is inside or outside the unit ?
They should probably break away party and lobby management from the main game. That way, users can use other party systems to load game...
Does it have an internal bay for additional SSD ?
I thought the game streaming concept should work well with the defunct PlayStation Home idea. Users can chill in their “PlayStation Room” or...
... and Fractured mode, whatever that means.
Interested in (decreasing priority order): * Demon's Souls Remake * Gran Turismo 7 (with wheel and VR) * LittleBigPlanet or that Dream game, PS5...
I haven't kept up with any PS4 game. This looks interesting. When the time is right, I'll probably pick it up together with the LBP PS5 title.
It's a remake, not a remastered game. Hope they will flesh out the broken archstone. Please please don't deviate too much from the original art...
I saw that explanation for PS5. But at the same time, it is also true that such constrict point is commonly used for slowing down the player to...
His "no need for fast SSD" comments were made in the context of that tech demo. It is reasonable because that demo is meant to showcase Unreal...
They took the bilibili video down. So I can’t confirm anymore. That moment was pretty quick. I remember he said “Our target for nextgen consoles...
Sweeney didn’t watch the show. He doesn’t understand mandarin. He probably jumped to the first logical conclusion to him because the question...
His translation is accurate. The entire activity was quite focused on cross platform development even though the demo ran on PS5. When he...
On the subject of laptop GPU ... The engineer said Lumen uses up more resources than Nanite. Although their target for nextgen consoles is 60fps,...
Do you have a link to his post ? EDIT: I found the post. He wasn’t at the forum at all. Another poster said he asked the engineer and...
When the engineer talked about 40fps, he didn’t mention the model of the laptop. The event was very casual, with the participants joking and...
I didn't watch the whole 132 minute. Will probably do so over the weeks. They are very happy with what they have achieved, and the reaction from...
He was referring to the scene near the beginning where light shone down at the rocks. He didn't specify the resolution. Not sure if all effects...
Is this in relation to the 40fps claim ? Note that the engineers said, "Actually for the scene you saw previously, we were able to run it @ 40fps...
The engineers in that live cast implied that they avoided high speed SSD partly through careful disk layout. I have no idea what they meant...
This is exactly the type of things Cerny wants to avoid in the future.
I jumped to 53:00 (mentioned by you) and listened. ultragpu and Tabris are correct.
The engineers said more. Their goal is zero overhead loading (No more splash screen. Double-click and enter game directly mainly relying on SSD...
It's a work in progress. Probably moot to compare performance now since their target is 60fps for nextgen consoles. Their primary targets are...
That tech demo has to run on all platforms (for follow up demoes). e.g., The "squeeze" part, while not needed for PS5, can be useful for more...
Finally a semi-official source. It’s not just “Fast SSD”. It’s a robust platform for streaming assets in near realtime. In Cerny’s presentation,...
If you use an existing game like Gears 5 to measure the nextgen performance, you would be limited to the current generation game mechanics and...
:lol: Some might see it as "just" a fast SSD. But because of the high/guaranteed QoS, it is more like a realtime computing platform. Such things...
I doubt the requirement is fast. It's probably "consistent and sustaining fast under all weather". They wouldn't go out and design their 6-level...
The platform exclusives will likely push whatever envelopes the different consoles have -- even though UE5 is cross platform.
Yes but your scenario is still too simplistic. It's a game world. Both the players _and_ the (destructible or creatable) world can change states,...
It depends on the games. I think the challenge is when the character keeps moving, teleporting, and changing direction/view points. It's usually...
Yes, the boxes are architected differently. Developers will need some time to understand their nuances as they figure out near real-time asset...
It is not always about big numbers. Efficiency is important too. In software, if you do things differently and save resources, you can do more....
Doesn’t look like it’s just an event, a marketing move. It has more to do with their nextgen vision and how they follow through. They spent a lot...
