One of the main guys from that team said it will be a while before we see anything from them.
I expect that most of them working on HZD2 and a smaller team working on his game.

I'm also in the confused camp, what point are you trying to make? That games will look better on more capable hardware? That's obvious.
There is a huge difference between turning the existing graphic settings to 11 on a game designed around 5 GB of GDDR5 of a base PS3 -
AND making a game with a baseline with nearly double the RAM, an order magnitude better CPU, and a GPU with features that will probably outdo some top level cards today.
This is false equivalence by you.
GG has graudated to the big leagues. forget fancy rt effects and destruction, they are going to give us avatar quality graphics.I keep hoping we'll get another Killzone with the art direction of the second game, if not a full remake that would allow GG (or whoever) to show what the PS5 is capable of early on, with RT shadows, and destruction that's far more extensive than what you see in the gif below.

Hopefully they'll give us flying too like in that gif.
I honestly thing GG is the one to beat now for visuals.GG has graudated to the big leagues. forget fancy rt effects and destruction, they are going to give us avatar quality graphics.
there is a behind the scenes youtube video that was linked here earlier this year that showed aloy flying on a storm bird. it looked kinda rough around the edges but it was definitely in their plans for horizon zero dawn. flying is pretty much in thanks to the ssd and a better graphics card.
from what i understand, they also had coop in the game in the prototype stage, but again because they couldnt get the graphics to look next gen enough they cut the coop elements. the flying clip i saw looked pretty good for a current gen game but it was clear that massive downgrades had to be made to get flying to work. i suspect we get both flying and some kind of coop, bet it npcs helping you like in the concept art or online focused.
Wait for real? That's awesome. I know about the co-op thing from a BTS video and I remember seeing a artwork with a npc riding what looked like a glinthawk, but I never saw that footage.
It would be so cool if they showcase that when they reveal Horizon 2 🤤
it was an unlisted youtube video. i couldnt like or favorite it think. i wish i wouldve bookmarked it. maybe someone else can find and post it.

I kind of hope they give us a new MP focused AAA game that doesn't have a single player. Show off the insane visuals and give us some deep gameplay systems and progression. Would be amazing for a launch title.
naughty dog made it seem like tlou multiplayer was split off into its own spinoff. i wouldnt be surprised if its a multiplayer gaas title for launch.
From the success of GTA V and Fortnite, I think it's a good idea if they made it F2P and won't be held back from the single player game.
Guerrilla has now two narrative directors so i think we could also expect that their second game will have a single player content.
I totally forget how the timing of new console announcements has happened in past generations. What would be the realistic time frames and/or events that we'll see a PS5 reveal?
Yeah np 👍
lol never saw that bug
Nah.
I see the new meta is going 100% in on discrediting Halo. The game looked great.
Nope I'm on a 4K 65" KS8000 since the PS4 pro launched. I just simply don't subscribe to the theory that it will gimp the generation. Mind you Lockhart is still a theory as nothing has been announced yet.
What I do have is a Bachelor's in Marketing and an understanding of of potential case use for the console. It would absolutely have a market.
What they showed was pretty, but they barely showed anything.
Yeah - we got a cool 2 minute intro. In think it did a great job showing off the new art direction. Can't wait to see gameplay this year!
The lighting was spectacular. So as an engine showcase, it was much better than the previous year.
I just think it was a missed opportunity to get folks more hyped about the next big Halo. Anyway, they've got one full E3 yet, so I'm sure they'll blow folk's socks off in 2020.
They probably didn't want to show off next gen yet at that point.
Isn't Sony gonna use azure for streaming ? So if it's probably lockhart blades in azure datacenters, doesn't that level the play field? So basically ps5 games have to run on a Lockhart. I know it's a lot of if's, but i just can see them using power consuming 10 tf+ blades at the start. There are so many factors next gen it seems. Exiting times.
No.
Sony will be using Azure, not xCloud. xCloud also runs on Azure. We don't 100% know what they'll be doing but it seems most logical that they'll be using blades comprised of PS5 hardware.
Really looking forward to see the BC capabilities of next-gen consoles and really curious to check if they will fix games that ran poorly this gen and/or improve performance/resolution on games with dynamic res scaling and a target of 60fps (such as DOOM or Titanfall2)
Good. I want a good FPS campaign.
No none of that.
Didn't Sony use the ps 4 game, spiderman, to talk about ps 5? Do you feel that was similarly embarrassing for them?
That was not a public presentation. It was a corporate strategy meeting. That's why the only video we have is from an angle on a phone
They showed what PS5 is capable of in terms of reducing loading times, that's quite different.
too technically specific. They haven't talked details on much except CPU cores. SSD is just 'custom' with no concrete details on type or transfer rate. Ram amount is likely a full reveal and type may not be deemed relevant at this point of their reveal plans
People get hyped for a lot less.... An announcement with just a name is enough to create a frenzy if the game is on their system of choice.
What the person wrote who you are replying to most definitely stands.

I thought that cutscene had a nice aesthetic to it but tbh we didn't really see the game, so can't say it looked great. 2020 is gonna be fun when we get to see these games properly.
Chiefly my problem with it was it felt uninteresting.
Graphically, it looked marginally prettier I guess, but it was just a shiny piece of armor.
Not much to get excited about.
Story wise, it relies on the impact of "finally Master Chief is back!", both story-wise and in real life.
Except, when was he ever gone?
He had games pretty consistently, and it's not like the series was ever at risk of cancellation.
What this results in is that the effect is: "here's another Halo".
Which is nice if you're already a fan clearly, but has little impact outside that bubble.
I dont think the problem with Xbox's E3 was what they show for Scarlett, it's more about the quality of the content vs the hype.
Also their trailers for Gears 5 and Halo Infinite wasn't exactly a spectacle. With Halo Infinite it's at least understandable but Gears 5 though, wew.

You could argue it happens with phones, but those are sold to a wider audience with very different demands and all run essentially the same software.
I doubt LockHart is in the same position, as it's less of a budget console and more just "Anaconda but worse"
- Worse RAM, CPU and GPU
- No disc drive
- Worse running ports
Given XBox's market position it's going to struggle.
So the thread is back to baseline mattering? i thought after Lockhart it didn't.
This thread changes it's opinions so much lol.
While my interest in Sony first party games is negligible after this gen I would really like to see how close we can get to thisGG has graudated to the big leagues. forget fancy rt effects and destruction, they are going to give us avatar quality graphics.
I seem to remember few believed the Tweet to be real until the likes of Geoff Keighley confirmed invites. Then the hype got going.
Yeah. After that teaser, first Kaz gifs started being made on the old forum [this was one of the first ones], and the memes just snowballed from there. :)
I'm guessing the PS5 reveal event will probably be very late March or April. I know everybody thinks February based upon the last time. But consider this is something they obviously would planned ahead for. And consider they were planning to release TLOU2 in February.
It would make no sense at all if they had originally planned to unveil the PS5 within 1-2 weeks of launching maybe their biggest PS4 game ever. Because they would be having review events, previews, probably a review embargo a week or so before launch to drum up more hype and other events. Doing this and the PS5 unveil at the same time is nonsensical when they have plenty of time to do it before of after the launch.
Revealing in Late March-April regardless of whether TLOU2 launched in Feb or May would still give breathing room where all their marketing can still go to either event without overshadowing anything.
