Nah Tim. I'm still riding the 9.2 until proven other wise.
My nig *caugh* man !
It's so much fun though.... Look at other forums, they are miserable, they can't say anything.... Every word is typed in fear.

Here, we get to throw around our ideas, bounce them off each other... Tease each other and really enjoy the build up to the reveals and launch dates.
Let me tease you with that non existant 32bit game

Dude , PS5 logo garnered more media attention than anything MS has done to date. PS5 will be similarly specced as Series X, MS is posing the least threat to Sony Playstation hell I even think Nintendo is threatening Sony more than Microsoft.

13TF, 10TF or even 3TF, it doesn't matter , Playstation WILL always sell better than Xbox. 499, 599, 199 it doesn't matter PS5 will sell better.

Xbox one was basically a Lockhart of this gen, you could get one as low as $199 in 2014 by the outrageous deals and yet, the world didn't give a fuck about Xbox. Same will happen this upcoming generation, only thing that MS can do is to try to better position themselves from a distant third to a close third behind Sony and Nintendo.

OT: I encourage everyone to wait for the official specs reveal by Sony and MS, both machines will be ultra capable.
That kinda went right over head didn't it?

Any insiders that gives too much info such as die size, launch price, and launch lineup are fake. They won't have access to any of that information, let alone for both companies.
Even spec wise, studios are given SDKs on a need to know basis. One set of specs might have multipliers, the other might have only clocks. If one wanted, you can piece together a complete picture of the consoles, but no one has time to do this.

On the Github leak, that's much more information in there than any materials that we have received in the past year. The Oberon numbers matches the 2019 PS5, which has been upgraded and repurposed as a Lockhart competitor. The final clocks probably won't end up 2GHz. Even at 1.8ghz the perf should be much better than Lockharts. Unlike people on the internet, Sony takes the threat of being undercut by possibly $200 is a serious threat. They're big enough to respond to all threats.

What the leaks don't have are the numbers for the 2020 PS5 that was planned at the beginning of 2018. It's a riskier move since the targets for the 2020 PS5 is much much higher than the 2019 PS5. There is a chance it might make Fall 2020. That's why Sony has being fairly quiet.

If 2020 PS5 makes 2020, the perf would be

Lockart <<< PS5 (medium) << Xsx < PS5 (large)

I dont get it. Even if these leakers were proven to be false or full of shit, why would they do it in the first place? Do they get a high off of getting all this attention that validates their self worth?

 
You don't really need Jason for that, Sony has had exclusive console launch titles the past 2 gen. MS is now more concerned with gaas so i'm not surprised that they won't have exclusives for their new boxes.
You understand all this means is that any Xbox exclusives will also be put out Xbox One S and X as well as series x? Not sure this means anything negative for MS.

If Microsoft is buying any Japanese studio, it's likely a small studio who would like to have a large publisher who has the money and resources for localization, similar to the PSO2 situation. Falcom would be one such example, though I doubt MS will buy Falcom as the studio wants to release their games on Playstation and PC.
Falcom?
Very doubt. They release their games worldwide, have financial stability and they have fanbase on PlayStation. They even not release games on Xbox (beside Ys Origins).

But i think like you, that if they acquire someone in Japan, it will be some small, niche studio.

It's not crying, if we allow everyone to come into this thread to pretend they are an insider, the thread would become shit.

You wanna name those PS folks or just generalizing for no reason?

Well the fact you're picking that out from the general message of the post at least indicate you're in the Sony camp. Or maybe you feel party resembling the comment, dunno. Regardless what's the point in naming names, it'd just create unnecessary drama. A person can usually tell themselves if they're starting to fanboy a bit too hard, and either pull back or go full tilt. When the latter happens, well, usually everyone either takes a funny quip at 'em or directs some attention to the individual. It's happened with a couple of folks in both the MS and Sony camps throughout the thread.

There's some fanboying on both sides but that's also par for the course with new next-gen systems. Personally I just hope everyone keeps a cool head regardless where the chips fall (though it's slightly amusing seeing meltdowns when those happen, I must admit. Kind of a guilty pleasure).

As for people pretending to be insiders, they're usually very obvious to spot because after an initial batch of posts they start acting like fanboys or start posting completely ridiculous "rumors" pulled from the stratosphere. Especially the ones who barely have any posts in topics other than next-gen system rumors, and really low post counts in general on relatively new accounts. They don't bother me personally tho because of how transparent they end up being.

You kid, but this actually reminds me of a cancelled Atari Jaguar game called Black Ice White Noise (cool ass title IMO). Shame it got cancelled, looked pretty good for a 32-bit open-world 3rd-person game:

It means for 2 years you will have nextgen games limited by the hairdryer CPU of the base X1, that isn't exactly positive.
Why would they be limited? Are PC games limited because they also have to do console games? No.
Microsoft is just supporting their older console buyers. Dont forget that these MS games will also be coded for high end Pcs as well, which will again mean that the XSX versions wont be gimped in any way.

WHAT?? No! That is purely my guess, nothing more, nothing less, based on what I read here and elsewhere.
Joking about your literal ass telling tales my friend :messenger_tears_of_joy:

in all seriousnes, tim has stated he is a 40 something plumber in chicago or somewhere else in Illinois. He could still be Yakima, but he is not a homeless man in Yakima.

again sorry for fucking up the thread a bit
Wait it all makes sense now. Luigi is an Xbox fanboy! He's been wearing green all along!


Someone find her quick and tell her he's on neogaf.
 
Falcom?

Yep, Falcom even release their games on GOG, so I much rather they stay multiplatform.

Tell your ass to stop being so humble.

can you share any info on what lines up? or anything else?

I asked that earlier which Tim kindly responded.

this is going to turn out to be fake right?
Didn’t Microsoft say titles for the first 2 years would run on One X and Series X? Doesn’t that mean there’s no such thing as a “next gen only” title coming out for the Series X?

I think you’re right.

Yet his Twitter persona doesn't seem at all annoyed and is still refering to the rumoured Xbox advantage.

Think they got upset when it was basically ignored and roused the rabble to draw attention to it.

Of course if the mods verify the account then wow, but I'm definitely calling it a fake.

why no B/C for Vita come one Sony

and Legendz LOL sounds like a piece of shit multiplayer game

many of the things there make no sense, like says ps5 will be on par with xsx and then it says is 10tf, and also says. that price of xsx is 599. Weir that an insider have real data of both sides.

i was thinking the same thing, i thought his reaction would have been different but if it does actually add up to other things hes seen then maybe he cant deny what the other 'insider' said. hopefully we get some news soon or some evidence that it matches up. i find myself looking more forward to this gen than any other! :messenger_smiling_horns:

Again, you're fighting against reason. They don't "need" a dual GPU at that cost if what I listed previously. Btw I am a real developer of high end business software, not gaming , but I understand the computer engineering and software quite well, but it doesn't take a degree to understand my practical points. Just a rational mind and common sense. I'm happy to be vetted as a real software engineer.

if
  • Git hub leak is right and sony has designed a 36 CU gpu based around the same tech found in the 5700 series cards,
and
  • the industry types who have said ps5 and xsx are equal, or so close that you cant tell the difference are also right
and
  • Xsx is 12TF with a 405mm^2 apu
How can Sony get 11-13 TF out of 36 CU with a sane clock? The only answer I see is if they have 2X36. Am I missing something?

sure if my assumptions are wrong, then it collapses. But if they are right....

The assumption of Ps5 being 11+TF are not based on 36cu's.

It's neither of ours.

I tried making an alt as an experiment today, and the mods were on it right away.
So it's someone else you know then. I don't blame you guys is getting pretty boring now with all this waiting and 'insiders' fake and real throwing dates around raising our hopes of actual info lol

Role on the reveals.

For future reference to make it more believable you need to commit more and react the same everywhere you guys post.

Yes, you're missing all the practical logic in my post.

If you assume something false as true, anything can be seen as believable. Especially when you build conjecture upon other conjecture

On top of that, I'll bet you a Xbox xsx or ps5 that the Sony GPU is less than 72(dual) CUs? That's how confident I am. How confident are you in your flawed logic and impractical false assumptions?

I fully admit that any of my assumptions might be wrong, but they are the most solid information we have. I am just reconciling them.

I think that is ok in speculation thread.

edit: how would you reconcile them?
