Next gen PS5 and next Xbox launch speculation - Secret sauces spicing 2019
- Thread starter Phoenix Splash
- Start date
- Status
Has anything actually changed since the DF next-gen video last year where the expectations were of machines capable of up to ~14tf? Or have expectations simply dropped in the intervening period? I hear a lot of opinions here lately that such levels are essentially impossible in consoles, but I recall back then the DF estimates were thought quite reasonable? What gives?
Ah, it made it here, too. Shamepain is a banned former GAF member and doesn't have a history of being a tech guy at all.
Aaah the "leak" was from shamepain from gaf? ..now i understand where we arrived at the 14tf on the ps5
We were on "thelastsword" or "misterx" trustworthy lvl

Ehh,why am i not surprised...anyway,mods there on B3D (and it's really cool tech forum) shouldn't allow drive-by posts like that without some sort of user's verification.
Posts like that really don't do any harm there. People who post there know to treat posts like that with the proper amount of skepticism.
Sounds like we shouldn't expect new Zen 2 info at GDC.

Damn...oh well.Anyway,it seems with Zen2 AMD will be able to go head-to-head with the latest Intel thing?For the first time since before Core 2 days i guess...
apologies, but which particular dev kit leak? too many to keep up with these days. If you have a link pretty please.
Until Intel releases their true 10nm core, yes. The architecture disclosure shows it will be meaningful step-up from Coffee Lake.
A lot of people don't like the idea of capable next gen consoles and seem to think we'll be playing current gen graphics at 4K.
So in other words nonsense. If Sony are stupid enough to release a 8TF console that will not have a significant jump in asset quality (not just resolution) then they deserve to lose the generation.
True.Unless...pure speculation: he/she works in some 1st party studio (=Sony employee,with access to this type of info).
It would be great if before people cross-post an alleged leak from a poster on another forum they take the 2 minutes it would take to look at that poster's post history there to see if it indicates anything that would support that they would have access to insider information. The "poster on Beyond3d" being referenced here has a post history that consists entirely of gushing over the visuals in various Sony exclusives and this "leak".
Well they need to tell some devs about the date otherwise there wouldn't be any games ready for launch.
My favorite rumors are always the ones where the announcement is before a holiday season but the release is after it. Now I know it's been done, but with systems where the old one wasn't still a massive seller; Nintendo probably wasn't too worried about Wii U sales waiting on the Switch to come out, or Sony with PSP sales in the West waiting on the Vita. I can't see it happening with the PS4 -> PS5 transition.
Shawn Layden said retailers need to know what's up by the end of February, so it's difficult for me to imagine a scenario different from the PS4 announcement. February announcement, release fall of the same year, no trudging through a Christmas sales season with an old model when the new one is in the news.
Any good PSVR fanfiction lately? Last one I saw was basically magic; foveated rendering, eye tracking, 200 degree FOV, 4k, the lot.

Patents suggest they're looking at foveated rendering, wireless headset, position tracking, new move controllers, and a few other rendering tricks to improve efficiency.
Let me ask you a question. Would a developer at (let's say) Ubisoft know what the Last of Us part 2 looks like running on a PS5?
I can't believe people are taking this seriously, even moreso considering the post history.
Awesome, thanks. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a much wider FOV, them going wireless kinda surprises me unless it's an add-on.
Well that's not true. Any PS5 announcement is going to need software to demo it's capabilities. Sony will have devs working on launch period games trying to have something ready by a certain date. Having a stable build for a show doesn't just happen. That's why you often get months old builds of upcoming games at various shows throughout the year.
If said dev is working on a game to be revealed at the launch event then they absolutely would... not that i don't believe the recent rumour is bollocks.
Is it ridiculous? It sounds like all the previous rumors and game speculation talk. What makes this one any less than all other rumors?
The dude is a fanboy that, as far as I know, has never had any credible insider knowledge at all. It has nothing to do with the specs, if it's coming from an untrustworthy source you throw it out.
It sorta depends on how you look at it. I'm not sure what the straight numbers come out to overall but there are multiple franchises that have made the switch, though sometimes only partially. Off the top of my head, Resident Evil, DOOM, Wolfenstein, Mirror's Edge, Battlefield, Star Wars Battlefront, Nier, Metal Gear Solid, Killzone and Uncharted all used to stick hard to 30fps on consoles, but now they all at least target 60fps in at least one mode (Uncharted only in MP, but Naughty Dog did make it clear that they really, really wanted it to be 60fps but couldn't manage it on a technical level - not sure what the bottleneck was). There's also Devil May Cry, which went 30fps for the reboot, then swung back around HARD to 60fps when that was criticised. Ordinarily I'd probably consider this a fluke, but the fact that this is happening despite the weak Jaguar CPUs really makes me feel line there are a lot of devs who are genuinely seeing framerates higher than 30fps as important. Not all - Insomniac is one going in reverse - but quite a few.
It seems like Kodera just wants to focus on services and things of that nature. The CEO stuff gets in the way of that. Someone like Jim is better suited for it.
Yes,but if that's the case they should have put Jim as CEO in the first place year ago.And the guy deserves that,he is with Sony since PS1 days,in charge of Europe,and we are always their strongest market.
Jim Ryan promoted to President and CEO of SIE. Think it should be shared here as it may impact PS5 nextgen plans ...

We were just discussing it ;)
This really came out of nowhere...hmm.
PSN is the #1 distribution channel for PlayStation. Let's not conflate a comment made about PS1 era titles, with hints with future PlayStation strategy
So I'm curious now who gave Cerny his mandate for what is wanted in the box. We've basically gone through three people. Is most likely house/kodera? Communal effort?
Here are some of Shawn Layden's words in the Game Informer interview today that may or may not imply something regarding possible BC plans?
"What is it about having a streaming service like PlayStation Now that differentiates it from your other gaming experiences. Certainly I think one of the big benefits of PlayStation Now is its ability, on my PS4, to play the PS3 catalogue. One of the terrible circumstances of our gaming industry is that every time we launch a new console technology, we sort of put the last generation to bed. That doesn't occur in movies. That doesn't occur in music, but it occurs all the time in games. But PS Now is a way where all of a sudden you can bring back to life an entire PS3 catalogue though your PS4, through the streaming technology. It's kind of new, kind of different. You can see what that would suggest for the future, so I think that was a good experiment. Maybe we didn't explain it enough to really illustrate why it should be important to you."

I imagine he was just told to do what he did last time.
Mhm, but I suppose Kodera was already next in line internally but they only changed it now because it wasn't working out. I do think Jim deserves it too.
