Sony spoke about PS5 specs

As expected, after the announcement of the characteristics and the Xbox Series X, Sony released identical information about its console. To be more precise, they held a broadcast where they told everything about the PS5. Like last time, due to the format, we will tell you about the features of the console, and you can see the technical specifications here.

One of the main features of the PS5 is backward compatibility, thanks to which almost all projects from the 100 most popular games released on PS4 will be available at the start of the new console. The console has two compatibility modes - Native and PS4 Pro Legacy. Native Compatibility Mode takes full advantage of the PS5 and will likely run the 100 most popular games.

The console has an additional SSD slot, but not all storage will fit there. Among the caveats, it is mentioned that a third-party SSD must match or exceed the speed of the internal drive. In this case, you need exactly an M.2 SSD that supports PCIe 4.0. Sony will select suitable devices as part of the certification. However, the external hard drive can only be used for storing games from PS4.

Another feature of the console is sound. The Tempest audio chip is capable of supporting and playing hundreds of sounds simultaneously. For example, recreate individual raindrops in a cut scene or gameplay. Plus we are promised surround sound. Sony is currently working on this capability for stereo speakers and audio systems, but initially you will be able to hear surround sound with Tempest-enabled headphones.

The console is slated for release later this year.

Resident Evil 3 Demo Trailer

In the last digest, we wrote that at the end of the Resident Evil 3 demo, an exclusive trailer will be shown to players. If you have not passed the demo or will not wake up, but you have a desire to see the trailer - here it is.

Also recall that a little later on the 27th the demo of the asymmetric multiplayer RE Resistance will be released. The beta will continue until the game is released.

The release of Resident Evil 3 itself is scheduled for April 3.

Recall that we are playing as a succubus Vidia, who is bored with the life of the queen of hell and she decided to go to new hellish lands. However, she was caught and maimed, after which she can only take revenge on her offenders.

Plasticine Doom Eternal: just as cute and just as bloody

Usually we all wait for the release trailers for the game before release, but Doom Eternal is a special game and therefore it received a special plasticine trailer.

Like last time, Bethesda has brought us a short from the creator of adult plasticine cartoons, Lee Hardcastle, who created a similar video for the 2016 game. Despite the rather childish format, there is enough cruelty in it.

The game is already out on PC, PS4, Xone. Nintendo Switch release later.

Spring Sale kicked off at GOG

Spring Sale has started on GOG.com and will run until March 30th. As a feature, CD Projekt RED asked gamers in social media before the start of the sale. networks, what colors they associate with specific genres and, as a result, distributed the game according to color categories. For example, adventure games are grassy green and RPGs are crimson red.
