Something tells me...PS5 will perform somehow better in some cases ;-)

Yup, lazy/indifferent japanese devs.

Nah MS will be on par or even better in multiplatforms once they start dropping the OneX and they focus on Series X only games.
I have a 1080p TV so... that 4K or dynamic 4K means nothing to me... at the end it's about the games, and both sony and microsoft will end with great exclusives

Well if the Xbox dev tools really are way behind PS5 tools, like the 'rumours' suggest, there is ever chance some multiplatform games will run better on PS5 early on. Long term though, very little chance. Unless you consider loading a few seconds faster is running better.

It's not like the PS devtools are not evolving. But when they where talking about "people will be surprised", i couldn't think this had directly something to do with the XSX, since that wouldn't be a surprise imo.

I think nearly all their income is from Youtube, so they are just taking advantage of the current fever over next gen. I doubt they really care about packaging etc lol.Are they really analysing how the consoles are packaged lol.

Those aren't rumours. It's real and it was reported by Richard himself after he spoke to devs with actual devkits. Same thing was reported by NXGamer as well.

Well if the runours ARE real, you better hope PS5 has the edge when we start getting the comparisons, because if XSX still has the edge with bad dev tools, the future will be bleak in terms of multiplatform games.

The games downsample if you have a 1080p TV and look much better than if you were just playing in 1080p.

I think the PS5 gets bigger every time it's unboxed.

The shiny plastics have always looked cheap to me, far away from premium.. especially in 2020. The fingerprints on Series X are disgusting... what kind of plastic or coating are they using? Holy shit.
The gamepad will be a gamechanger for a lot of people and I really hope devs support this one properly. I also hope that the increase in size makes it more comfortable... maybe it could replace my Xbox One gamepads I use on PC. However, I find it baffling that Sony hasn't been talking more about it, maybe they didn't because they wanted to surprise the influencers, but it seems kinda weird to me.
I've also called it back in April when people were speculating about advantages devs weren't allowed to talk about.

i don't like ps5 at all (design) but for multiple reason horizontal position feel less like an afterthought (air flow less impacted, stand moving for example)
I prefer simplistic XSX design and it would be perfect horizontally if the stand was removable and the x could be reoriented (it's detail but it make the difference in the end)

God damnit Sony, let them tell us how quiet/loud it is under load already. You've sold all your pre-orders the people who've put the money down aren't canceling because of bad aural ergonomics(or sometimes even know what that means).
I just honestly have a morbid curiosity if Sony has learned anything the past gen, or if they've chosen to ignore those lessons.

It's fucking huge but I like the size. This is a console I don't want to hide under my TV cabinet. I want this thing standing vertically next to my TV. IMO it is interesting and lovely to look at.

If your game is streaming heavy, PS5 could outperform the Xbox X, definitely. It mostly depends on the engine used, but in some cases, the PS5 might very well have a win, regardless of the state of the APIs and tools used by the developers.

What are you guys pre-meditating the damage control? Have some confidence, 12 teraflops should trample all over 10 tf, right?

The box has a hole as big as the one on the top of his scalp. Cut him some slack.

The only surprise I can think of: all games run better on ps5.

Damage control?, i'm not the one who has been saying XSX dev tools are way behind PS5, for months now. If its true its going to have an effect.

That comment about surprises has got me excited.
Only things I can think of is either, multiplatforms run better on PS5 even though they have marketing rights with Xbox or their BC is more robust then people think. Meaning the current generation of games run at better framerate/fidelity then series X even though xbox have been stating they're the place to play for BC.

tbh, it could also mean all games are identical. The press releases from multiplat devs never had any differences mentioned.

Yeah he does. People are getting all giddy in the next gen thread but he def said that before talking about 'surprises'.

Are you serious ?? I mean I've seen videos comparing the two models, but nothing like this..PS is fn huuuuge, that's what she said, dou 
I got all the space set up in my entertainment center for both consoles, and its ready to go on launch day, but the size is still taking me by a surprise every time I see it.

You talking about the hole for the serial number barcode? You can tell he had already unboxed it because he put the plain box back in the wrong way so you couldn't see the barcode through the square hole.

Videos have been very dull for the new consoles. It's either cookie cutter influencer videos or analysing the mundane, old or trivial.

How do you make a console thats nearly double the size, but also so much weaker at the same time? Usually you sacrifice one thing not everything. Mega fail on sony engineers part.

Mr. Community
AC Valhalla will be super interesting. 7 years ago AC Black Flag (also a cross gen game) was the canary in the coal mine that showed how the theoretical differences between both systems translated into reaity.

If the surprise has nothing to do with platform comparisons then I have no clue what it could be.
