With Sony new management? Nothing is surprising honestly. Adam shouldn’t go out of his way to get a console.

what are your own thoughts Nikana,
~would you like them to totally leave it behind or just make it just for the new consoles.
Personally, i think they should just go with the future tech, embrace the future, i hate to think what loading times will be on the old tech.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
- Not everyone really even agrees "Risk taking" is important, or cares about that.. clearlyThis tweet was right.
- Many of the people who do talk about risk taking might have loved Death Stranding, it has a large following, as does TLOU2
- This is true of every single industry ever pretty much.. risk taking doesn't always become mainstream... if something becomes mainstream it's then copied, and those people are seen as copies/not risk takers
The cycle continues. Creators are still welcome to take risks.. they will likely be criticized.. so are those that don't. The sales are going to depend on how many people like what the risk-taking produced... the end.

I really don't have an issue with cross gen. (shrugs)
Most games for next gen are started way before they have final specs and engines done anyway. Even if they are next gen only the engines haven't been adapted to fully support the new features anyway.
If cross gen means more people get to play it, go for it. Id rather see a healthy return.

Yea this wouldn't surprise me, it definitely seemed rooted in current gen. Nothing in the initial trailer looked beyond what could be done now albeit with reduced textures/resolution. It even looked like it had some winding corridor type paths in some of the forest scenes.

i don't see why they can't release it on PS4. it is not like open world. it will be in a village. plenty of houses and other staff to "hide" load times. i don't see anything what screams like a game design not possible on PS4.

Can't imagine at what resolution/framerate when PS5 struggles with 1080p/60fps.Resident Evil Village: Capcom 'Looking Into' Xbox One and PS4 Release Alongside Next-Gen - IGN

Ah here comes the insults because you picked a terrible example. Thank you!
It's a little disappointing, i agree.
But outside of the hardcore bubbles on reddit/Twitter/forums people clearly don't care. The ps5s are selling out instantly. Sony FPS arent 343, the next gen version is going to be fantastic.

I think they will release it on older consoles, i think there are too many sales to lose out on, from a financial standpoint it makes sense.
We do know that games will fundamentally change in the future in the way they try to hide loading times, elevators, long passageways, god of wars fast portal travel stuff, i guess what matters here is, are these assets or game designs already in-game, will they have to build them, modify sections of the existing game.
Will this push back the release, how long will this effect the game, pacing etc. It must be a nightmare to go back if everything is already working or designed on an ssd and say ok, here are 10 000 loading screen areas we need to create or fix in the game.
I don't think its a simple task.

PC Ultra settings. Where is the extra work from dev?
So, no ray tracing?? Spider man remaster will have ray tracing reflection and shadows, improve animation, facial scans, facial expressions, etc.
Spider-Man remaster also has next generation Peter Parker Character Model as stated by Insomniac Games. It's awesome we are getting a spider-man remaster, but i think Sony could've pushed for a free upgrade for all PS4 owners of Spider-Man. It's just bad bad PR going for them
Come on Sony look at the community and do right by them!He says fh4 could easily have RT, because Spider-Man also has it as upgrade .

This tweet was right.
Pretty sure Death Stranding was praised by a lot of critics and has been by a fair few fans as well, on top of being up for a few game of the year awards. Though I think its clear to see why a lot of people would justifiably find it boring or uninteresting, nothing wrong with that. And The Last of Us 2 I believe also has a lot of fans, and was certainly praised by critics. Most of the people who don't like it aren't against its 'risk taking' per se; rather they are against the nature of the specific risks taken (If you wish to call them risks). I think that's fair, or are we just supposed to blindly praise the concept itself rather than the content or quality presented. It would be the same as saying let's all love the latest Star Wars or that final season (or two) of Game of Thrones because of the old subverting expectations thing. Sure those have their fans, but you have to take the rough with the smooth, and while I understand the sentiment here, in my opinion its just promoting the opposite problem.

None for me either my store ended up having 12 units and the last seat was taken around 5:00 AM, crazy

It's crazy I gotta tell you. I went to two locations for a PS5 as a backup this morning. The things I can tell you is that the numbers being posted at the Gamestop stores imo are the definitive amount they will have for the forthcoming business day. So I see no point waiting. The first location I went to also had 6 units and there were over 10 people online. I believe they wait because they're hoping that the number may change. I mean, what's to say that it couldn't? lol. You never know if HQ is telling stores to add a few more units. But maybe after the store opens.
Why they're doing allocations in small chunks is unknown to me, but it's becoming a bit silly to go each week and see less than 10 units available. Maybe because it's the Pandemic and they want to limit groups in front of stores?
I'm kind of trying to get another PS5 as a backup in case the online order I have fails or get one for my Brother since he can never go to the store due to work. I work from home, so I can just go out if needed at any point.

1 teraflop of rdna2 counts for much more than 1 teraflop of GCN
-Mark Cerny
This comparison is correct, but what I think
PaintTinJr
was getting at is 1 teraflop of Series X ≠ 1 teraflop of PS5. Yes they are both based on RDNA 2 ( which is more performant per TF compared 1:1 with GCN)To pull another of Cerny's quotes from that presentation:
“If the ideas are sufficiently specific to what we are trying to accomplish, like the GPU cache scrubbers I was talking about, then they end up being just for us. “
-Mark Cerny
Now what does this translate to in the real world? This obviously doesn't effect the TF calculation, but does however increase the performance and efficiency of the GPU as a whole. Meaning that a PS5 TF will be more performant than a standard RDNA 2 TF.
How much more remains to be seen but this is an architectural change from base RDNA 2 that XsX does not have.

Apparently adding Ray Tracing to your last gen games will cost you $70.

Seems like Cerny was really looking years ahead here. From what I understand, MS's solution, which is great, don't quote me wrong, is capped at around 6GB/s (based on earlier reports), and can output 4.8GB/s right now. This means that even after improving their firmware and software, they'll be capped shortly.
Sony's solution caps out at 22GB/s, which means they have more than double the room for improvement over the original 8 to 9GB/s. This is immense, because for sure software and firmware will improve during the next 5 years and we'll continue to see improvements here.

so you really think a 36 CU 10.28TF unit will be "more performant" than a 52 CU 12.15TF unitThis comparison is correct, but what I think

Last time I checked MS were having problems with their pre-orders too, not to mention the ludicrous naming making people buy the wrong console.

While the odds are against it, the relatively small 18% difference can actually be more than made up for through cache performance and better optimised sdk/apiso you really think a 36 CU 10.28TF unit will be "more performant" than a 52 CU 12.15TF unit
Both factors we dont know enough about atm.

You won't really "need more" than what the PS5 offers until we can have games that are 1TB in size probably... just do the math lol

So is the real purpose on getting expandable storage (besides storing games on it) to play next-gen games off it? I am looking at external 3.1 drives and obviously they're more affordable.
I'd most likely have any games I want to immediately play moved to the main drives, and anything else on the external. Just trying to see the real benefit here.

How Oodle Kraken and Oodle Texture supercharge the IO system of the Sony PS5
I cant remember where it was but it was RAD dev that discussed the throughput for PS5 with oodle kracken, Basically it was: 5.5GB raw 10.85GB compress 21.99GB. For textures. (PS5 22GB limit) If I remember correctly. Edit. Yes, we already talked about this topic weeks ago. Neogaf > Internet >...

From a lot of tweets many people didn't even realise it would be running a hard credit check - despite it telling you. A lot of people have fallen for a fancy packaging of All Access and not understood it is just finance agreement that you could get for anything you buy. You could get a PS5 or just the Xbox console without All Access on interest free credit from most UK retailers (albeit a shorter time period).
Anyway - as per the article they only run a hard check once even if you tried from both GAME and Smyths and the fault is with GAME and Smyths for asking Klarna to run the checks when they'd sold out.
This was just wave 1 of pre-orders so I'm sure anyone with an agreement set for a sold out console will just automatically get wave 2 consoles.

The XSX's asymmetrical RAM layout will also be a bigger challenge. You cannot put the OS in the 6GB "slow pool" and maintain the 560 GB/s bandwidth from the 10GB "fast pool" due to shared buses. You could put the OS in the fast pool, but you'll have only 7.5GB of it left and as soon as RAM usage exceeds 10GB, the overall bandwidth will drop.
