Ok, so there's 9TF and 11/13 TF camp right?
But being very honest, very very honest, would anyone in whatever camp be disappointed if Sony does announce 9TF? Maybe to a point of saying they fucked up?
Honestly?
IMO, I'd be disappointed because I want both consoles to be practically the same, so games don't take a hit in either side. This way, the focus would be on the game itself, and not the technical side of it. However, we all know exclusives will never disappoint, and I hope Microsoft shows us must have exclusives too.
I wonder if Sony just threw this together in response to the MS stuff from yesterday.
Lightings gonna make a huuge differenceI actually think it will look better than films. Like more real than real life. Maybe... like Dreams?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I remember when Demons Souls was announced in Famitsu along with a couple of screenshots - on an old forum I used to post on I made a thread about it and everyone laughed saying it would be another mediocre FROM game. How times have changed.
I think you have it all mixed around. This is oriented for game developers. It's a GDC recording.Expecting
-console and controller form factor,
-no actual tech specs but loose tech talk aka next gen SSD, Custom Built AMD GPU/APU.
-tech demos of loading times, ray tracing, rasterizing 50000000 ducks at a time. Possibly some first party games shown in PS4, PS4 Pro, and PS5 mode.
-a look at the alexa style UI integration and limited look at the UI, minimal changes over PS4 design
-some quick trailers of 3 to 4 games. Wouldn't be surprised to see Bluepoint's project as mentioned already, Godfall, GT ?
- bc for playstation 1, 2, and 4 shown off and takes up decent amount of time.
Overall I think the people going into it expecting to be shocked are going to leave disappointed, those expecting Sony to provide the spec sheet will likely be as well. Those of us that just want to see the damn thing already will be satisfied.
A massive canyon of salt rumor. Hip Hop Gamer posted a YouTube video. I don't even know how reliable this person is.What was the rumor? Bluepoint was actually working on BC for PS5 and not a specific game remake?
Nah, this makes too much sense.I'll just say this: these things are planned months in advance...but I'd think if the PS5 was worse than the Xbox Series, Sony would never announce all the tech related stuff only 2 days later and would probably delay this closer to release date. Like May, June and talk a lot about games as well by then.
I can't imagine Sony's marketing team going "Okay MS has the best machine so we're going ahead with this tech presentation in 2 days with no games to distract from the fact we're second best this time and while everyone is still digesting much better hardware from MS. I'm sure our shareholders will be delighted to know this now that everything is going down in the stock market."
If they are doing this, they will give us a lot of good info and are confident in what they have.
It's not that it's unnecessary but for the purpose of this thread (where it was posted) it's just irrelevant to the topic. However, whether or not it's pointed out, it's the reality. The difference in hype and popularity exists right now, both on this forum, and elsewhere in the communities can be quantified.Pointing out the differences is making you a fanboy according to the poster. I dont think it necessary but its even more unnecessary to get such hostile comments in return.
I think I understand what you're saying. There's hype for every console publisher here (Sony, mS, Nintendo, and I can't really comment on the Nintendo threads since I don't really visit them), but when it comes to the threads involving Sony and their first party studios, the hype there seems to be like, un-challengeable, can't be argued with or just to an extent, infallible since the overall global popularity of the playstation brand speaks for itself?There's this atmosphere of pure unadulturated hype that flows through threads like this, which center around big gaming news and reveals. The sort of feel you rarely see on Era outside of insane Smash threads. And I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like Playstation threads benefit massively from the ubiquity of Playstation love. If I dropped by to post variations of 'drop that load, Cerny. DO IT.' a few times, maybe with a humorous gif on the side - well, I don't think very many people would think much of it. And I may be wrong, or I may be showing a bit of bias in my thinking, here... but with nearly every other major gaming brand having less cache and fewer fans here (like in real life), such behavior is often seen as a bit brand-obsessive, or straight-up kinda weird, when seen in threads revolving around other brands that aren't evergreen Nintendo shit basically (and, uh, even then, lol). Like, I've seen people get the verbal side-eye for invoking Phil in Xbox hype threads, yunno? Course, we wouldn't be having this discussion if it weren't for people trying to do the same to Playstation fans, but being the big dog in town, more people will defend the PS hype, and revel in it, I feel. And I think that's the imbalance some people are feeling, even if it's probably best for them to just deal with the reality that Sony flat-out brings the hype to many more people, and a bigger crowd is always gonna be a wilder crowd. Playstation IS gaming to so many people, after all. Easy enough of a thing for me to see when it's time for a Nintendo hype thread, so why not Sony threads too?
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this week and got caught up in a bit of console warring myself. I'm over it now, and I'm so ready for the PS5 deep dive and potential reveals. Trying to get on the same wavelength as our PS fans up in here, to share in the joy, and to that end I'm doing my best to look at the hype train from a fairer and nicer perspective than I might have in the past. cuz for real most people here are just trying to have fun while prepping themselves for an info drop that actually excites them.
That thread is not entirely one sided, and there are tens of thousands of posters here, and that poll only got a small fraction of that in the amount of voters.Not really, theres a higher portion of Sony fans on this forum. We have polls that state as much. And that Naughty Dog thread recently demonstrates this further (tone is less incendiary and more forgiving as opposed to similar thread for CDPR + Rockstar).
Poll - What current gen gaming platforms do you own?
So, we're closing in on the end of the generation, next generation is roughly a year away going by rumors, we know Sony is dominating like never before with the PS4 worldwide on hardware sales and Switch is playing catch up. But lets take a peek at what the userbases look like among core gamers...www.resetera.com
I already acknowledged it when I said '...there's fanboyism for every platform on this forum '.Somebody already replied to you with an example. It's clear you don't want to acknowledge any of it, so you're right in that there's no point in wasting time. Find another thread to derail. It's not hard to see what you're doing.
While fighting a historically accurate giant enemy crab.If I were Mark Cerny I would use Knack composed of 3 million ray traced rubber ducks to show off the power of the PS5.
No not really , until yesterday , Sony and Microsoft had talked about just about the same things Sony being the one that went first. Difference was Microsoft showed the box while Sony has not. Pull every information out there about both devices prior to yesterday and they line up with minimal differences. And again after tomorrow they will line up with each other again.It's not close to the same quantity and quality of info MS have been putting out - simple as. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many doom and gloom posts because Sony chose to wait on MS, and very little info was going out. So I think it is perfectly on point to say this is the first sizeable official info we are getting on the console / what Sony have in mind for it

Fucking yes! They waited until Microsoft showed everything except price and games. I like it.
We got this far without leaks. No leaks this close either!
good. I welcome that for a change.
Welp
This isn't really an *announcement* of PS5. I wouldn't expect a lot of game talk tomorrow.
Yeah, definitely. Microsoft did this with Hellblade at the Series X reveal. Sony should follow that example.i think we'll see an 'in-engine' trailer for at least 1 unannounced game... I mean that's how you cap off an event like this. here's the specs, here's what those specs achieve. get hyped until our next event.
the majority of this will likely be slides and tech demos from upgraded PS4 games tho
I don't see how this is reactionary. GDC is THE place to showcase architecture & specs. Then, as we move more closely to launch they'll show the games, prices, accessories and so on.
There was an interview or something with Cerny and someone in the old boards said "gonna watch this in the tub" and it snowballed from there.I can't remember... how did the Cerny bathtub meme come about? (imagine Cerny acknowledging the baththub meme tomorrow...).
That is unfortunately probably the only thing that is not going to happen, at least not at launch.All I want to hear, honestly, is 100% backward compatibility with the PS4, PS3, PS2 & PS1.
Do that, and I'll pre-order.
Can you believe that was more than 5 years ago?There was an interview or something with Cerny and someone in the old boards said "gonna watch this in the tub" and it snowballed from there.
Yeah that might be it!There was an interview or something with Cerny and someone in the old boards said "gonna watch this in the tub" and it snowballed from there.
Why?, you don't have 3 jobs?Im mostly sold on it aleady so im interested to hear a some tech info.
Waaaaay more interested in the price tho.
hehI think you have it all mixed around. This is oriented for game developers. It's a GDC recording.
I wouldn't expect much in the way of games at all.
