Everyone and their grandmother knows that the next generation of PlayStation is not that far off now. Maybe two years, maybe three – maybe even one Either way, it’s coming, and Sony, it seems is gearing up for it- at least if a new job listing posted by them is anything to go by.

Sony’s PlayStation division recently put up a job ad for a Senior Product Manager for “Campaign Management” over at LinkedIn (via Playfront). Ordinarily, that wouldn’t necessarily mean much, but interestingly enough, the listing mentions that the person hired for the job “will own the roadmap for next generation PlayStation campaign”.

That’s as clear as it can get, really. And honestly, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The next two years seem like a pretty likely window for the launch of the PS5, and if that is indeed the case, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that Sony are gearing up for a full-fledged marketing campaign.

In related news, recently, reports suggested that Sony might be looking to implement backwards compatibility and V-Sync tech in the PS5.

Nothing To See Here
Yeah, they just haven't said what that backwards compatibility would entail. That's also from the first day Sony revealed they were working on it. I'm still unhappy about the direction the PS5 which isn't yet named a PS5 seems to be going in, which leads me to this:

Wosley, apply for that job. Get it. Kill the other applicants if you have to. And then let us help you with this "roadmap." Then we'll all have at least some input into Sony's current direction.

Some ideas: "We'll actually have a better GPU and more RAM and VRAM, despite everything we've said so far. And we'll only focus on VR if we can find a way to make it look just as good as non-VR OR the VR integration won't take away from internal hardware for non-VR use."

"We'll put more effort into coming up with decent launch-day fans, and we'll screw ALL of them in properly this time."

"We'll allow our save file structure to be open source and with barely any encryption. Wink wink. Wink. Ahem, am I being clear enough? Wink."

"Sony will bring you more exclusives from FromSoft, Naughtydog, SantaMonica, Insomniac, and we promise there will never ever be a sequel to The Order. And we will finally bring a good remaster of Demons Souls. We will also try reminding Bethesda that glitches are bad but no promises that they will understand the words coming out of our mouth."

"And maybe we'll actually fulfill the promise we've made before about backwards compatibility instead of just saying it and then adding more emulator titles to the PSN store."

If they promise all this because you own the roadmap to their marketing campaign, then they have to at least sort of try to maybe develop a console along those lines, right? People still care about promises. I think? Wait, never mind, it's 2018.
