Linus apologizes to Tim Sweeney. (PS5 SSD)

This is not relaly an accurate take at all. Sound slike you're the fanboy to be honest.
But we do know some stuff. Citing Matt, who is a 3rd party developer:
"You had to work hard with PS3 CPU to get the most out of it. The PS5's IO is just there."
VG24/7:Epic rewrite I/O subsystem with PS5 SSD in mind
for games that actually leverage it anyway. I foresee a lot of multiplat games not having too much of a difference between versions. maybe one will load slightly faster than the other

And he als said that in 3rd party titles there will be some benefits on the PS5, but games won't be designed around it. First party will benefit the most of course.
should have released his apology as an apple notes screen cap.
nb. we've seen this kind of hubris from the LTT channel before, but their videos are usually pretty enjoyable. fair cop for apologizing.

ok, this a little ridiculous. There are tons of videos about consoles and their technical aspects. He is definitely not uninformed when it comes to consoles.
Why?
Those developers are working, speaking for, and being paid by corporations trying to sell their product.
Linus has corporations fighting to get him to review their products. (and is clear when something is sponsored)
This video actually made me significantly more excited for that SSD in the PS5. Sounds more and more like it truly could be a game changer, particularly in 1st party titles.
Funny you should say that. Earlier in the week he had a very ignorant stance on dating outside your race to end racism, which he never really apologized for but he did donate $20,000. Kind of wish he would've given such a dramatic apology for that instead of platform war bullshit.
Well the problem is that the devs who can even talk about it are mostly Sony devs. What else are they going to say?
And more importantly, no one can talk in detail yet about what the ahrdware really means in terms of development, because they can't. So all we have is: It's the bestest ever, trust us!
I mean, I don't disbelive them, necessarily, but I don't feel more informed either.
eh he doesn't need Sony to send him swag really, His company is pretty loaded, not some beginner youtuber.
Also you can probably count on one hand the number of Sony products he reviewed recently as Sony doesn't do much pc stuff lol
I was just about to say...no sponsor? Video is actually pretty informative. Now we wait on Sony to reschedule their event. Hopefully soon.
So it would be better to not apologize at all..
What's the alternative? Tweeting an apology or posting on Facebook or some such wouldn't really work in this case, the only good apology is a video on his own channel to reach and educate the audience that he mislead in the first place.
I don't really think it will be. I guess it depends on your definition of a "game-changer", though. "Faster load times" doesn't strike me as something that will result in drastically different games or game design. It's a nice quality-of-life improvement.
Yes...and trusting youtubers who have even less access to the tech to tell you to be happy is bizarre to say the least.
fairly certain he reviews speakers, TVs, hi-fi equipment - he's a tech reviewer, not just a PC reviewer.
Not a space to talk shit to one of the largest tech conglomerates on the planet lol.
Good on him for owning up to his foolishness, most people can't they just double down and dig deeper and deeper.
Fanboy of what ?
I dont own a sony or ms console at all, i have more or less the same setup as linus, a strong pc for the graphicly intense games and stategy games, and a switch for indies and nintendo games.
There is no need to jump upon me to his defence.
My comment wasnt meant in malice, i dont think he is a fanboy in the negative sense that is often used here, but more the sense that he wholly believes in pc above all other platforms.
I just found it funny that so many in this thread seem to think he has a hateboner for consoles, when its more of a disinterest.
Irc he even commented on the switch as being a good companion to a pc setup.
I think this will be the case for 95% of games next gen. It's that other 5% that has me curious.
No don't you get it, Linus is uninformed, and I the forum warrior know all sorts of console trivia and tech knowledge. Ask me anything about the PS5 ssd read speeds and I'll make you moist in the groin region. Ask me anything regarding Xbox and you'll buckle at the knees and cream out your jeans. By the way can anyone else just NOT WAIT for a Demons Souls port remaster HD 2? Hehe UwU
Well you could have just said that. I definitely agree he's a typical PC gamer with not much interest in consoles. But that doesn't make him a fanboy anymore than just being interested in consoles make you a fanboy.

Yeah, it's just there, but both consoles also have "secret sauce" with compression and decompression and how they handle textures, etc. etc. We have no idea how that will play out right now.... and probably won't for a few years.
When you make really technologically impressive stuff you tend to get excited people talking about it on Youtube.
I guess you could say it cost Sony a shitload of R&D to make the technology needed to get this kind of reception.
The dude is canadian, that's why lol
I enjoyed the video. He even apologized his own staff.
And his explanation about the PS5's SSD was really informative
Always enjoy his content. Up there with DF in terms of explaining tech in a simple way to the overall public.
It is gonna effect all different game designs more then load faster, gonna be able to have bigger worlds for instance etc
Is there a laymen's summary of what is so fancy about the PS5 even compared to a gen4 nvme drive in a high end PC? Or in what way is it beyond what the PC can currently do? I didn't really follow his quick summary, but also not looking for a 40 minute video.
This stuck out to me too. I was surprised Cerney was telling us indirectly that this type of tech would lead to smaller file sizes. Ofcourse his talk was focused towards developers but ASony as a company knew they should've followed up on this with another rep breaking it all down instead of relying on reaction videos (only 3 of which provided meaningful insight)
Wow, no sleep. Well, to be fair it's a video of Cherno watching and explaining Cerny's presentation. Whew, saved.
To give him credit I thought his apology and the way he attempted to clear things up and understand was pretty solid. We all screw up. He owned it. Good on him.
Oh, that Linus.
Yeah, good for him, but what he said made me worried that we are in for another generation of poor performance PC ports.
Yeah, good for him, but what he said made me worried that we are in for another generation of poor performance PC ports.
He read through the Era thread, watched The Cherno's videos, checked out the patents and more. Most people wouldn't have done any of that and just shrugged it off. Classy af really, even if he gets paid as people watch it, fair enough.
That's it! I couldn't place who beardy Linus was reminding me of.
Tim Sweeny is a billionare but people have already painted him a Sony shill including Linus. So don't be surprised if people now label Linus as one too.
But's that kind of thing is just more about having SSD as a standard vs not. Nto really what PS5's improved I/O brings to the table.
SSD's as a requirement will mean, higher quality assets, faster loading, more varied worlds, across pretty much all platforms.
The PS5 will singularly be able to crank those things up to 11, at least for the next 4 years. But what will that actually mean for games? For most, probably nothing, but at least for Sony exclusives it might mean a lot? That's the thing, we just don't know.
