PlayStation 5 Technical Specs Revealed by Mark Cerny From Sony

We have some new information from Sony, some little teasers about the next-generation console. Those details come from Mark Cerny, the lead system architect of PlayStation 4, which reveals some details about the new coming console, the PlayStation 5.

The name of the future console isn’t yet confirmed. Cerny gives valuable information about the next-gen PlayStation. The fact that is based on PS4 architecture that it’s backward compatible and that it’s not coming only in digital format device, it will have as well physical disc.

Cerny says that the transition from PS4 to PS5 is a gentle one, numerous games will be released for both consoles, and that PlayStation 5 will be an iteration of its previous model, not very different like it happened to the PS3 and its predecessor.

PlayStation 5 technical specs

PlayStation 5 will have an AMD chip with a CPU based on the third-generation Ryzen, with eight cores of seven-nanometer Zen 2 microchip, and will support 8K resolution.

Moreover, the graphics will be driven by a custom version of Radeon’s Navi line, and it can support ray tracing. The audio will be the best improvements on the new device. With the AMD chip, they can enable 3D sound for a better immersing of the player. The hard drive, on the other hand, will probably be a solid-state drive, towards the other equivalents in current consoles are slower. We know that an SSD is found in laptops now, but Sony wants to bring it and use it on the new PlayStation, and it will be specialized for the hardware.

However, this shared architecture between the two models will create a smooth path for games being developed on one of them, and later to appear on the other one. Other more information wasn’t given; it is still unclear when PS5 will be revealed and when they will launch it since Sony hadn’t participated to E3 this year.

Clash Royale Version 2.7.0: Massive Changes and New Features in The April Update

The latest update from Clash Royale was quite massive. Clash Royale Version 2.7.0 was just released this week, and it introduced many changes and a lot of content. Let’s break down the release notes below.

Trophy Road in Clash Royale – the New 1v1 Clash Royale Reward System

The Clash Royale team introduced a new reward system in the game called Trophy Road. It will follow your progress and give you rewards as you win more trophies, also allowing you to speed the progress.

At the end of the League Season, you can collect the rewards again, as the Trophy Road progress will reset. The bad news here is that you won’t get a League Chest because the rewards are won as you progress, and not at the end.

Trophy road will give rewards such as gems, gold, chests, cards, trade tokens, and emotes, and the higher your Trophy count, the better rewards you will get.

Trophy Gate is a new feature that will work as a safety net when you reach a new arena and lose some games. You will remain in the same arena, and for example, if you hit 4,000 Trophies, you won’t drop under the Legendary Arena’s Trophy Gate. You will drop through the rankings though.

Progressing is even faster with Chest Speed Up Boosts which you receive as you reach a new arena. It will unlock 24 hours of Chest Speed Up Boost to prepare for the current arena.

You can also look through the incoming rewards to know what’s coming.

Two new Leagues are available:

Royal Champion – 6,600 Trophies

Ultimate Champion – 7,000 Trophies

The New Card: Earthquake

This card costs 3 Elixir to cast. It is a Rare Spell that does damage over time.

Use it on buildings, as it deals damage to Crown Towers and 400% damage the rest of the buildings. You can also use it as an AoE attack to damage and slow troops on the ground. The spell will only work on ground units, as it only affects whatever stands on the ground.

New Prestige Levels

There are also new Prestige Levels for the following cards: Rocket, Goblin Hut, Knight, Balloon, Zappies, Skeleton Army, Barbarian Hut, Skeleton Barrel, Magic Archer.

The Event Tab

Check out all the events, such as Global Tournaments, Challenges, Limited Time Game Modes, Grand Challenges & Classic Challenges, in a new tab named ‘Event.’

Other Changes

Among the new features, we also got many changes to the UI, some tweaks and additional features which you can check out on the official Clash Royale website.

Elder Scroll 6 Might Move The Location To Hammerfell

We are all very excited for Elder Scrolls 6, even though not many details are available at the moment. Bethesda is aware of its loyal fanbase, and developers made a video which captured the entire journey of the series, while also including the fans that have always been there. The video was showcased during the 25th Anniversary of the Elder Scrolls series. Accordingly, Elder Scrolls 6 might take place in Hammerfell.

The event was unique because it also offered us some essential details about Elder Scrolls 6. As far as we are concerned, the release of the game is still far away, but the hype has already begun. The even revealed that the upcoming Elder Scrolls game would use motion capture and photogrammetry, which is the new technology for this series.

More than that, some of the art that will be used for landscape was unveiled. This gives us an idea about how the game will look like. While it was definitely interesting to see some of the art, some users believe that there might be some clues in there as well.

Elder Scrolls 6 might take place in the rocky landscapes of Hammerfell

One thing that we can notice in the pictures is the desert landscape. From the looks of it, it appears that Hammerfell will show up in Elder Scrolls 6.

For those who forgot, Hammerfell is a large province in the west of Tamriel. Hammerfell would be an excellent location for the Elder Scrolls 6 as it hasn’t been explored enough in the previous games. More than that, we had a chance to see Hammerfell’s Red Guards, and they had an essential presence in Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

In fact, at the E3 2018, we did receive a reveal trailer for the Elder Scrolls 6, and by looking at the rocky landscapes, we have plenty of reasons to believe that the game will be set in Hammerfell.
