I blow my whole load everyday. Believe me, it's easy and it's a lock....well, the bathroom door is locked.
But what do you do with the other 23:58 of the day?
 
I'm trying to think of a non-system wars, non-toxic way to articulate this....

The biggest flaw of the Playstation 5 reveal (which showed lots of cool games)...

If you're telling me that not supporting the older console or not leaning into enhanced backwards compatibility will make you be able to produce true next gen experiences before the competition provides them, then you need to show me next gen game experiences...and give me release dates that are within a year of the console launch for those experiences. Realistically, I don't expect many huge jumps in the first 2 years for either console. It's not realistic. New experiences take time with the new tools. That's why I have no problem with Microsoft's cross-gen approach. Microsoft is selling the benefit of their cross gen approach as we'll get old games to feel newer as a result. Old games will get ray tracing and improved frame rates...which will feel like free Remasters. There will be some benefit and excitement to plug old games into the new system. Sony didn't show why their approach was going to have better results in the other direction. If old games won't feel new and often times won't even be ready, then will I be doing things in the Spider-man spin-off that I cannot see or do in the current PS4 version? Maybe that exists...but they didn't show it.

The evidence doesn't really support the narrative to abandon PS4 or be behind on backwards compatibility.
 
I have a hard time believing that Sony has alienated 110 million PS4s with their first party. I have to believe their are more announcements coming with PS4/PS5 games coming from them. Games on the PS4 will print money being it is so saturated.

Which would be good. Even all of us who plan on getting PS5s may not be able to. Supply will be limited. We don't know how the economy could impact us months from now. I see no good reason for Demon Souls or Spider-man to be PS5 only unless there's some next gen only gameplay enhancements they never showed. Even if we get our hands on a PS5, it enhances the community and conversation around games if more people have access.

If we get that, it would make Jim Ryan's comments seem misleading...but I'd take it.

I am hoping for the community that games will be cross platform play and chat. As in say, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 on PS4 will allow you to chat with and play with PS5 owners that put their Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 disc in their PS5 to play.
 
Not "SSD cards" - NVME2 SSDs. They look like:

It'll probably be easier than replacing a normal HD/SSD, but not something you'll just swap in and out (which is the benefit of the XSX expandable storage route, though of course you're then limited to whoever they let make compatible hardware).

The only thing is that these can get hot, very hot and when that happens they throttle. Hopefully they have airflow directed over them with an internal heatsink or something that dissipates heat off of them. Although that doesn't usually happen in gaming loads.
 
I'm actually a little surprised that there is a digital-only PS5. I feel like Sony is not well-equipped for a digital only console. Out of the 2 Microsoft is the most capable and it shows. Sony is going to need to build up their digital distribution abilities and is probably why they are partnering with Microsoft with Azure.
Makes sense. Go to the people who have the experience.

I don't feel like its easy unless they are willing to really willing to blow their whole load. Which maybe they will and should but I don't think its a lock.
If Halo 5 is as amazing as I hope, it could really drive a lot of momentum. I was hearing the other day that it will be one of the most expensive games ever made. Let's hope they paid attention to the little things. If 343i can nail Halo, then It's off to the races, imo. There is still a ton of love for the franchise.

Doesn't the MS SSD have a heat sink on it? I thought it did.

Did MS say they were adding Raytracing to Back Compat? when did this happen? Or were you thinking HDR?
 
This, and what about launch titles? Hopefully they’ll reveal that in August.

Yes MS has some heat disipation on their external NVMe SSD's but they are proprietary and made by Seagate. If Sony stays on the "use your own SSD/HDD" then I feel like their external slot will have to have some kind of heat dissipation built in.

They didn't. I probably said that wrong. The assumption is they will offer ray tracing for some current gen games for free through Smart Delivery. Gears shouldn't be the only one.

I wonder how they can prove use of variable rate shading. That's interesting.

Fact that Microsoft execs are talking frame rate and backwards compatibility while Sony execs are talking exclusives, graphic detail and SSD shows you where the execs believe their competitive advantages lie.

The only way I can see is if they can nab the z-buffer automatically and use that to inform the casting for GI, ala a lot of the raytracing pc mods. Otherwise thec have tho code it in specifically

Q: And as we enter a period of economic uncertainty, is it a good time to be releasing a new machine?

A: Conventional wisdom and history show that our business is one of the more recession-proof businesses. But I think this will sharpen our need to ensure that we focus on getting the value equation right. And I emphasise value as opposed to price.

We must be more attentive than ever before to ensure that the overall value proposition in terms of the console and the games - the range of games, the quality of games, the quantity of games - makes this something that our community aspires towards.
