More news revealing details surrounding the specs and features of the PlayStation 5 surfaced following Sony's announcement of its release window. We have rumors claiming the impressive prowess of the upcoming gaming hardware from the Japanese console maker. But, the latest details come from an open-world tech demo of the console running on AMD Navi-based hardware.
While we now have conclusive insight about the PlayStation 5 as revealed by the company, we only know the technical details, but we have no idea what it is capable of. A recent report claimed that things will go beyond the industry's expectation for the PlayStation 5. The news came from a former GameFan magazine editor and was shared on Resetera.
According to the tipster, he has recently seen a tech demo of a multi-platform open-world game that is still in its development stage for next-generation gaming consoles as well as for PC. The demo runs at a solid performance, and in terms of scope, dynamics, and lightings, it is way ahead of "The Last of US 2" or "Red Dead Redemption 2." The demo has the very best real-time graphics and looks like you are playing in the real world, the magazine editor shared.
The GameFan journalist also shared that the experience was similar to a Shadowfall moment, which gives him an entirely different feeling from what he has been used to in using previous-generation gaming console. The framerate, the leaker estimates, would be roughly between 25 and 30, but he was stunned when he saw how it impacts the game. He also noted that one of the most interesting experiences in the demo was the quality of the shadows.
The leaker also disclosed that the overall picture quality was amazingly solid, with the game running on full 2160p without any sign of shimmering. Another report claimed that the demo the journalist was referring to was running on Navi-based hardware, so it is probably on a PlayStation 5 dev kit. We have already heard that many titles will exclusively release on the PlayStation 5 but it would be nice if the leaker shared the details about the game.
Don't be surprised that Sony #PS5 first revealed open world game runs at 30fps. Game displays at native 4K resolution, and you'd be nuts to expect the latest AAA #PS5 Games to output at full 4K/60. As mentioned in FGUK videos.. Dynamic 4K/60, Native 4K/30 in most scenarios #fguk — Year of the Fox (@foxygames_uk) October 15, 2019
The PlayStation 5 is slated to arrive between November and December 2020. Expect to read more news about leaks, rumors, and speculations about Sony's next generation gaming console between now and the release window. For now, considering that this information is a leak, we suggest taking this with a spoonful of salt.
