I mean you not wrongLots of pro Sony devs appearing here lately...![]()

This guy is hinting at something. MS got From Software. Congrats boys we did it![]()
What's coming out on Xbox one this year?Uh... Xbox 2020 is loaded. It's like the complete opposite of late 360. Sony first party has 3 games this year maybe (excluding unannounced PS5 launch titles of course)?
Exactly.
What's coming out on Xbox one this year?
PlayStation 4 has FF7 remake, Nioh 2, Dreams, TLOU2, Ghost of Tsushima, Predator Hunting Grounds, Iron-man VR, Yakuza 5 and Persona 5 Royal.
Ori 2, Bleeding Edge, Grounded, Wasteland 3, Crossfire X, Flight Simulator, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, Halo Infinite. Plus tons of titles on GamePass.What's coming out on Xbox one this year?

I really hate this moneyhatting shit at the start of a generation. It really turns me right off....
I mean Xbox one is pretty barren till the new console launches, while PS4 has loads of awesome games still coming. Same happened with 360.
They didn't learn with Tomb Raider!
Thank you for the insight and good luck with the game, launch and everything ahead.
Grounded, Bleeding Edge, Ori, Minecraft, phantasy star online.. and some games on gamepass xbox never got.
stupid me, how could i forgetI think there's something called Halo Infinite coming out this year also. How you guys forget Halo!? lol.
Yes I am actually. Note that Van Gogh is notebook APU, likely for Apple. I am not sure if its N7P or EUV, but I am pretty sure consoles are N7P.Are you still on the N7P bandwagon for these APUs?
I did some reading and googling and there is a design for N7+ that is very interesting, Van Gogh. This is a zen2 + Navi 21 Apu that is being built on N7+.
This would mean than zen2 has been ported to N7+ so the costs for MS/Sony of having their console APUs designed for N7+ seem to have gone down.
This does make N7+ far more likely IMO but if the 400mm² die size is close to accurate for Scarlett then it must have more in it than we think.
Verniaaaaaa!!!!!Uh... Xbox 2020 is loaded. It's like the complete opposite of late 360. Sony first party has 3 games this year maybe (excluding unannounced PS5 launch titles of course)?
For real?He said it's going to be more powerful. So going based off of what you were saying this past week, he is a fake insider.
i mean just because you have 40-50 million consoles sold doesnt equal that in sales, ps4 has over 100 million and spiderman sold 15 million. Think he means no matter how many console sales you have you only get a faction of people buying. Since ps4 has a higher install base means its more likely it will sell more copies than a console with less systems out
Everybody celebrating on one side based on those AMD leaks (essentially small test runs for more complete chips) are going to be disappointed. I can say with certainty while the tests are real, the PS5 chip has over 40 CUs.
Who has the stronger console shouldn't be considered as case closed, and the advantage isn't exactly on Xbox's side in that department. Sony has kept their cards close to their chest, very close, and as a result appear poised to surprise everybody again like they did in 2013. Only this time, there hasn't been a superdae style leak that accurately depicts most of Sony's plans. Sony did not skimp on their GPU. It is competitive with Xbox GPU. In fact, what has annoyed me recently has been all the vagueness, so I'll just flat out say it here. The PS5 GPU is stronger and larger than the Xbox chip. They're close, but Sony wins in that department, and anybody that doubts it come speak to me after the reveal.
Who the hell am I? Why should you believe me? I can't say because, well, NDAs are a bitch, and I'm not a fan of being hauled into court, but I'm not in agreement with how quiet Sony has been when they have the better box, so just consider me a friend tossing you guys a bone. I won't be participating too heavily in this thread because, quite frankly I don't want all the attention, but I see a lot of people settling on this ridiculous 9.2TFLOPs mess and I cringe when I see it. No, Sony isn't running their GPU as hot as some are thinking. Those 2GHz numbers were literally stress tests. No more, no less. And BC does not hinder Sony from increasing their CUs, cause they clearly have.
Everyone is assuming what form factor sony is going with based on their dev kit, don't. Microsoft aren't the only ones willing to draw more power in the next gen from their console. Sony are not designing a $399 console, they are shooting straight at the $499 price point and will likely have to take a loss because their SSD (SWEET JESUS THAT SSD!!!) is no game. They probably could have hit $399 easy without it, but I'm not mad at them.
And to add further context to Bluepoints tweet, "stay hungry" stop overreacting and getting nervous that the 9.2TFLOPS PS5 is real or a thing. It isn't, and they are fully aware of this. I will repeat because no other insider has made it quite clear yet, too much vagueness. The PS5 GPU is greater than 12.5 Teraflops, but less than 14TF. Is above 40 CUs (bye bye 5700 range navi - the thing that bugged us the most probably)
In all honesty when Phil Spencer put the Scarlett chip in his profile, and Xbox started flexing, Sony should have done the same. It would have been most interesting to see what measurements everybody came back with on both, and I will leave it at that on the chip size. On hardware ray tracing, both consoles are more or less similar, there is no super, special secret sauce. The story is just about the same there. I expect few games to use it because of the performance penalty, which is why you probably see Sony not mouthing off on that front. Xbox will find themselves in a precarious position to be pushing it so hard and then fail to deliver on it. Sony is choosing to take the humble route, but there is no advantage on either side for RT. It's a wash.
And finally, again, I know nobody here has any reason to believe a single word of what I just said, but trust when I tell you guys everything I say here you can take to the bank. We are in the early development phase of a title that will release first on Xbox even though all of our initial work, tests and benchmarks for performance, basically our entire invested time since the game was a concept, were done on ps5 until I guess a deal was made? We are not cross-platform. Next Gen Only. So now we have to do our best show pony routine and start building for xbox first with a later release on PS5 (might even drag us up on stage or something to show some ass). One of those fake exclusives as it were. We went from building for one powerful spec to now having to develop for an entirely different beast and its weaker kid brother. SSD optimizations (what the fuck do we need those for anymore?) Fan fucking tastic. I'm sure our art guys are loving it right now.
I’m done ranting, see you guys at reveal.
It looks like their market cap is actually 6.5 Billion.
But even at 20 Billion less, still cant see MS paying that sort of money.![]()

I think they are more likely going after Techland. Fits MS profile better.
Flying Sim, Forza 8, Halo Infinate, Gears Tactics.Grounded, Bleeding Edge, Ori, Minecraft, phantasy star online.. and some games on gamepass xbox never got.
Now the PS5 has discreet ray tracing .. it’s getting better and better ... literally.
Yeah, dont know. But 27 Billions sounds a hell of a lot just for a games studio. I think 6.5 Billion sounds way too much.I dunno. Here is Market Cap. 27 Billion. Or maybe i've mixed something

Can someone explain to me what would the use of much faster SSD be in a console? On PC we barely see much difference on faster SSD when it comes to things like loading a game. Will this have more to do with games being designed around SSDs and game world data being streamed at faster rate and thus taking oad off from both GPU and CPU?

My impression is that users on both side are quick to react if they think the brand they are faithful to might have a less powerful console. It’s a bit of personal pride and when you’re spending half a grand give or take, you want to believe you’re buying the best product for the money.

For real?
Phil Spencer announced the world that he wanted to buy a Japanese developer.
You're not very good at this.
And it was a Polish guy who leaked that MS was in Poland talking to developers.
I say don't believe in people with so called inside information when they haven't been verified.I am still in disbelief at the specifics you'd mentioned. Lets see how it all turns out when Sony announces things officially
That would be brilliant if we could play JP games on a PAL PS5, just makes it an even bigger library to access.I still wanna know if i could play my PS1 and PS2 japanese games on PS5 pal and if my PAL PS1 games will play at a native or enhanced 50HTZ.
The TF gape between PS5 and XOBX is so minimal that it does not matter anymore. They are both on the same league. That's goof for everyone.
Now i wanna know if i can sell my pro on summer or wait because there wiil be a PSP to Vita files transfer type.![]()
this is going to turn out to be fake right?
Gotta admit he does make some good points and doesnt come off fanboyish. Hey man hats off to Sony if they take that vaunted powerMaybe just because I enjoy the excitement a bit, especially at possibly beefier consoles, but I may be leaning Yaki.. lol.
Some of the Xbox fanboys over there are intolerable. They are 6 or 7 and they keep reporting anyone who responds to them. Best is to just put them on ignore.Yea I just got out of the office and looked on that site.... rough crowd.
Thanks. If that's true one month from now we will be not hearing from team 8-9TF. Being realistic is one thing, but some 8-9TF team members were really rude towards others who even suggested 10TF+.Everybody celebrating on one side based on those AMD leaks (essentially small test runs for more complete chips) are going to be disappointed.

Who has the stronger console shouldn't be considered as case closed, and the advantage isn't exactly on Xbox's side in that department. Sony has kept their cards close to their chest, very close, and as a result appear poised to surprise everybody again like they did in 2013. Only this time, there hasn't been a superdae style leak that accurately depicts most of Sony's plans. Sony did not skimp on their GPU. It is competitive with Xbox GPU. In fact, what has annoyed me recently has been all the vagueness, so I'll just flat out say it here. The PS5 GPU is stronger and larger than the Xbox chip. They're close, but Sony wins in that department, and anybody that doubts it come speak to me after the reveal.
Who the hell am I? Why should you believe me? I can't say because, well, NDAs are a bitch, and I'm not a fan of being hauled into court, but I'm not in agreement with how quiet Sony has been when they have the better box, so just consider me a friend tossing you guys a bone. I won't be participating too heavily in this thread because, quite frankly I don't want all the attention, but I see a lot of people settling on this ridiculous 9.2TFLOPs mess and I cringe when I see it. No, Sony isn't running their GPU as hot as some are thinking. Those 2GHz numbers were literally stress tests. No more, no less. And BC does not hinder Sony from increasing their CUs, cause they clearly have.
Everyone is assuming what form factor sony is going with based on their dev kit, don't. Microsoft aren't the only ones willing to draw more power in the next gen from their console. Sony are not designing a $399 console, they are shooting straight at the $499 price point and will likely have to take a loss because their SSD (SWEET JESUS THAT SSD!!!) is no game. They probably could have hit $399 easy without it, but I'm not mad at them.
And to add further context to Bluepoints tweet, "stay hungry" stop overreacting and getting nervous that the 9.2TFLOPS PS5 is real or a thing. It isn't, and they are fully aware of this. I will repeat because no other insider has made it quite clear yet, too much vagueness. The PS5 GPU is greater than 12.5 Teraflops, but less than 14TF. Is above 40 CUs (bye bye 5700 range navi - the thing that bugged us the most probably)
In all honesty when Phil Spencer put the Scarlett chip in his profile, and Xbox started flexing, Sony should have done the same. It would have been most interesting to see what measurements everybody came back with on both, and I will leave it at that on the chip size. On hardware ray tracing, both consoles are more or less similar, there is no super, special secret sauce. The story is just about the same there. I expect few games to use it because of the performance penalty, which is why you probably see Sony not mouthing off on that front. Xbox will find themselves in a precarious position to be pushing it so hard and then fail to deliver on it. Sony is choosing to take the humble route, but there is no advantage on either side for RT. It's a wash.
And finally, again, I know nobody here has any reason to believe a single word of what I just said, but trust when I tell you guys everything I say here you can take to the bank. We are in the early development phase of a title that will release first on Xbox even though all of our initial work, tests and benchmarks for performance, basically our entire invested time since the game was a concept, were done on ps5 until I guess a deal was made? We are not cross-platform. Next Gen Only. So now we have to do our best show pony routine and start building for xbox first with a later release on PS5 (might even drag us up on stage or something to show some ass). One of those fake exclusives as it were. We went from building for one powerful spec to now having to develop for an entirely different beast and its weaker kid brother. SSD optimizations (what the fuck do we need those for anymore?) Fan fucking tastic. I'm sure our art guys are loving it right now.
I’m done ranting, see you guys at reveal.
If LocalRay technology will deliver what's promised RT performance will skyrocket in near future anyway.Kind of sad to hear about poor RT performance, but that was totally expected, NV worked on their RT for 10 year based on what they claim, so there was zero chance AMD could bring something better. That being said, I just hope the devs will take the smart route when it comes to utilizing RT, like CoD;MW did, where RT is used just for the shadows, that aren't nowhere near as taxing as reflections, transparency and all the other effects, that some games try to run all together to begin with, while CoD:MW has arguably the best shadows out there, without any performance penalty basically, you can still rock at 1080p@200-240 or 4K60 on 2080Ti, just like without RT.
