We get fed the same spiel every generation, but newly minted PlayStation indies evangelist Shuhei Yoshida has purportedly been waxing lyrical about Sony’s next-gen system in an interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation. According to DualShockers, the former Worldwide Studios chief reiterated how complicated the PlayStation 3 was to develop for, and how steps were taken to rectify this with the PlayStation 4.
The upcoming PlayStation 5, however, takes things to the next level. Allegedly studios working on the device are claiming that it’s the “easiest” console they’ve ever developed for. This, of course, doesn’t mean that teams are going to be pumping out AAA titles every six months; games are still outrageously difficult to develop, but it sounds like the Japanese giant has avoided hardware hurdles with its latest system. And that’s good news for players and creators alike.

So no frame rate issue's then.
@Number09 Well, I assume 'easiest' just means closest to PC. Porting to certain consoles such as the PS3 was a major headache so in that sense, it'll be easier than the PS4.
Hopefully this will serve to squeeze the hardware to the very maximum, the wizards at Naughty Dog will make jaw dropping marvels with PS5.
240 fps and 16k graphics incoming lol
Ps3 was still better than wii u.xbox one and x box 360 combined.ps3 was a great console.word up son
Good, and as an added bonus, the architechture of the console is same as previous one (x86), no needs to learn from the beginning again like ps2 and ps3 😃
@Number09 - I'm gonna say yes to still having frame issues. Games pushing 4K with Ray Tracing won't be getting near 60fps.
They are all just PC's now, excluding the switch, The only difference will be you have a fixed hardware set and low level api's. I wonder if vulkan and dx12 will catch up even with low level access over the next gen.
@Cutmastavictory 😂 😂 😂
@Neolit true the xbox will boast more power as always. Sony on the other hand want quick loading full native 4k and a solid 60fps so aslong as they do that then they will be fine. But I see the xbox pushing 120 fps on certain titles. But until we can see atleast a full game demo for both consoles I will wait as per. But agree totally
Less power but better games, I'll be opting for PlayStation again.
Sounds great if true. I hope this helps the Japanese companies, that just recently stated that they look forward to and/or are already working with the ps5, make some truly amazing games for it.
Both next Gen Xbox and PlayStation are boasting up to 120fps at 4K & 30fps for 8k so 4K at 60fps with RTL shouldn't be a problem. Both Microsoft and Sony are going to get as close as they can to each other with regards to firepower and I can see them being on par with each other on that front, so it's all going to be decided by the quality of games, exclusives & subscription services offered to decide who comes out on top in the next round of the consoles war, but that's good news for gamers. Microsoft have upped the anti this year by buying more games studios paving the way for more exclusives and providing the excellent Game pass Ultimate subscription service which is great value for money with top quality games. If Sony improve the PlayStation Now service with better quality games then it will take this advantage away from Microsoft going into the next round.
Easy because it is literally an upgraded PS4.
You are all being royally had.
And when they move to streaming within this systems term and you all get lured into buying a bunch of your titles through their own walled garden that requires the latest PSwhatever to use it... you will all wonder why you spent £500 on a system when you could have spent nothing, used Stadia Base and be able to play your games on almost any screen with an internet connection and never ever have to worry about compatibility or upgrades ever again. Instead... you all jump on the silly band wagon and hate... your poor wallets.
