New PS6 Leak Is Actually Insane - Hideo Kojima Meets with Sony, GTA VI PS5 Trailer Analysis | News

PlayStation News Summary

The video covers four PlayStation-related news stories.

PS6 Pricing Rumors

Insider Kepler_L2 reportedly said that the PS6’s RAM and NAND storage alone could cost more than $680. The video argues that rising component prices could push the console above $1,000, with a late-2027 release discussed as a target.

GDDR7 was once estimated at about $3 per gigabyte during console planning, but reportedly now costs around $20–$23. The host questions how Sony could maintain its traditional mass-market console strategy at that price.

Sony’s Frame-Prediction Patent

A Sony patent describes algorithmic frame generation that could use rendered frames, motion vectors, and controller input to predict and display frames before the next real frame arrives. The proposed approach includes a fallback to reduce bad predictions and may not require extra hardware.

The host cautions that prediction errors could make the technology unsuitable for fast-paced or competitive games, and that it may be a long way off.

GTA VI Trailer Image Quality

Digital Foundry reportedly found no clear evidence that the trailer uses Sony’s QSSR upscaler. The analysis questions whether the performance cost would make sense if the game already renders at a relatively high resolution.

The host suggests that the trailer’s softer or gray-looking image may be more related to color grading and HDR than to a major drop in graphical quality. HDR specialist Filippo Tarpini criticized possible color-rendering issues and suggested Rockstar might be using an SDR-to-HDR conversion approach. However, the video stresses that the final game’s appearance remains unknown.

Hideo Kojima at Sony

Kojima posted photos of himself at Sony’s offices, prompting speculation about a new collaboration. The video suggests possibilities such as continued work involving the Decima engine or a film-related project, but notes that no details have been confirmed. It also says Kojima and Sony have indicated there is no bad blood between them.
