本周二，索尼正式宣布了期待已久的PlayStation 4下一代產(chǎn)品PlayStation 5（PS5），沉寂數(shù)年之后終于公布了相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。

此前，索尼缺席今年美國最大游戲大會E3。在E3大會上，索尼電子游戲機的主要競爭對手微軟發(fā)布了下一代Xbox游戲機的細(xì)節(jié)，稱之為“斯佳麗計劃”。

現(xiàn)在，索尼互動娛樂公司的首席執(zhí)行官吉姆·瑞安向PlayStation的粉絲們介紹了PS5的一些細(xì)節(jié)，比如發(fā)布日期、新手柄，以及下一場游戲機大戰(zhàn)可能會如何爆發(fā)。

PS5發(fā)布日期是什么時候？

瑞安說，PS5將在2020年假日購物季（從感恩節(jié)到圣誕節(jié)和新年——譯者注）上市。到2020年，有些商店將異常擁擠，因為同一時間微軟也將推出下一代Xbox游戲機，目前名為“斯佳麗計劃”。

PS5游戲手柄有什么新消息？

據(jù)《連線》雜志（Wired）報道，PS5的新手柄外觀非常像PS4的DualShock 4手柄。新款將采用新的觸覺反饋技術(shù)，通過感知運動和振動反饋讓游戲體驗更真實。

瑞安說，觸覺反饋將取代索尼和微軟的游戲機手柄上普遍使用的rumble技術(shù)。

新手柄尚未命名，但很可能叫DualShock 5，手柄上還將添加自適應(yīng)觸發(fā)功能，位于手柄背面的L2和R2按鍵上。

瑞安在一份聲明中說：“開發(fā)人員可以對自適應(yīng)觸發(fā)的阻力編程，玩家能夠感受到拉弓射箭或越野汽車加速穿越顛簸地形的觸感?！薄?/p>

PS5的規(guī)格怎樣？

索尼表示，新的PlayStation 5硬件將徹底改造，包括采用固態(tài)硬盤以減少加載時間。PS5跟前代PlayStation型號一樣可兼做娛樂設(shè)備，將配備4K藍(lán)光播放器，并支持光線跟蹤，可以實現(xiàn)更復(fù)雜的燈光和音響效果。

關(guān)于PS5有哪些未知消息？

雖然瑞安大致透露PS5將在2020年假日季發(fā)布，具體日期還沒有確定?，F(xiàn)在就開始存錢吧，因為PS5的價格還未宣布。PS5將附帶哪些游戲的細(xì)節(jié)還不得而知，不過兼容舊版游戲應(yīng)該沒有問題，PS4的粉絲可以松一口氣了。新款游戲機的設(shè)計也未透露，但距上市還有約一年時間，接下來肯定會有更多的信息。（財富中文網(wǎng)）

Sony announced PlayStation 4’s long awaited successor, the PlayStation 5 (or PS5) on Tuesday, finally revealing details after remaining conspicuously quiet over the last couple years.

The announcement comes after Sony skipped E3, the U.S.’s largest gaming convention, this year. At E3, Sony’s main video game console competitor, Microsoft released details of its next generation Xbox console, which it calls Project Scarlett.

Now, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan is giving PlayStation fans some details about the PS5, like its release date, its new controller, and how the next console war might shake out.

When is the PS5’s release date?

The PS5 will release for the holiday season 2020, Ryan says. That will make for some crowded stores come 2020, as Microsoft’s next generation Xbox console, currently named Project Scarlett, is slated to be released at the same time.

What is the PS5 controller news?

The PS5 new controller reportedly looks very similar to the DualShock 4 that was released with the PS4, according to a report from Wired. It will get a haptic feedback update that uses motion and vibration to make the game feel more realistic.

Ryan says this will replace the rumble technology that has become universal in both Sony and Microsoft’s console controllers, as well as handheld systems.

The new controller, which is still unnamed but will likely be called the DualShock 5, will also get adaptive triggers on the L2 and R2 buttons on the back of the controller.

“Developers can program the resistance of the triggers so that you feel the tactile sensation of drawing a bow and arrow or accelerating an off-road vehicle through rocky terrain,” Ryan said in a statement.

What are the PS5’s specs?

The new PlayStation 5 will get a complete hardware overhaul, Sony says. This includes a solid state drive that will reduce load times. Following in the footsteps of previous PlayStation models that doubled as entertainment devices, the PS5 will have a 4K Blu-ray player. The PS5 will also get ray-tracing, a technology that allows for more complex lighting and sound effects.

What PS5 news is still unknown?

While Ryan gave a general holiday 2020 time frame for the PS5 release, there’s no set date on the calendar, yet. Start saving now, because the PS5 price is also still a question at this point. Details on what games will ship with the PS5 have not been released yet, but it will feature backwards compatibility, so PS4 fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The console’s design has not been revealed either, but with about a year until the console goes on sale, more information is sure to come.
