Sony has virtually confirmed that the PlayStation 5 is in development, although the Japanese company has'nt said whether it will definitely be called the Playstation 5, since they have limited themselves to give especific details about the new console, but encouragingly for the millions of fans of their video game consoles. Most of them japaneses without doubt.
"At this point, what I can say is that it is necessary to have a new generation hardware," Sony chairman Kenichiro Yoshida told the Financial Times.
Without a doubt, all this sounds like the new PlayStation 5 is definitely on the way. In addition, not long ago, the specialized media Gearnuke said that it could offer retrocompatibility with previous versions. All this is inferred by a patent application, which, although it is too technological for us, mere mortals, thus, it will involve a process of emulation of old games in real time. Yes, as it sounds. Something like that suggest that the games will be reproduced with an updated imagery, with a substantial improvement in their quality.
The process "remasters the textures for its presentation on a screen of higher resolution than the foreseen provided in the original software, and stores them again in the data structure with their identifiers", says the patent. Therefore, and what is most interesting for all, is that supposedly, the new PS5, or whatever you want to call it, can play in an improved way games from the PS4, PS3, PS2 and the original PlayStation. We are already drooling ourselves by just thinking about it.
So, sure thing, we'll see many new remastered games of old classics like the trilogy os Crash Bandicoot or the cult classic Spyro. Also, it seems that we can dust off our old games we've been keeping for a long time.
