One of the reasons my expectations are no longer tempered is due to leaks originating from the developer camp. The features, tools and leveraging cloud compute will be more important to game innovation than hardware power. Only question I had was whether Microsoft would be willing to share some or all of what's going on behind the scenes (when some of these games are a long ways out) or if they'd lean on Halo hype and hold back. Seems more and more like they're going to pull back the curtain.

I’m hoping they can expand on what they, 343, did with war zone and how the cloud allowed them to add so many baddies to roam about and their ai took no power from the user side, or something like that lol

They are EA sport games, tempered expectations are very neccessary.

My bad. Just see those were in reference to EA sports games. Misconstrued it for something else. EA Sports....yeah temper expectations. They've been s*** with their sports games.

Alot.

Make it more sim like it was before.
Make the leagues actually representative of motorsport championships.
Get rid of all the dumb, out of place vehicles.
Simplify the lobby menus to.
Add a license and penalty system.
Add pit crews and animation.
Blance the PI system.
Make the campaign more representative of motorsport.
Add more new tracks. Both real world and fantasy.
Change the DLC model to include more tracks.
Fix the dumb track voting system.


There are some things they need to do.

Time of day options ala GT Sport. Sarthe is one of my favorite tracks and yet there isn't one ray of sun on that track in FM7.

Pit crews have been the biggest omission for me. GT has had it since 4 back on the PS2.

My list could easily be 3 times larger.

Yep. I always believed the entire point of Mixer was to have a platform to engage gamers and launch them instantaneously into Xcloud. Amazon and Google have huge advantages in those areas. Microsoft had no hope of catching Twitch so instead they will attempt to accomplish the same goal with partnerships. Right now those partnerships include Samsung and Facebook. This is about cutting off Amazon and Google. Facebook is an indirect way to pull Iphone customers into the Xbox store.

As seen in another thread, looks like Quantic Dream is excited about these SSD's in the new gen consoles.

I feel that the way they make games, the specs have been enough since ps3. From Fahrenheit to Detroit, it's the same formula albeit with nicer graphics.
Their best game this far is Heavy Rain, a masterpiece imo.

Most, if not all devs are excited for the SSDs. When they only have to develop for systems that have them as baselines, development will be easier. A major bottleneck will be removed. Depending on the types of games they're making, it will benefit some devs more than others. I am a bit curious by QD speaking out though because that indicates they're making something quite different than before. The types of games they've made in the past would probably be down the list to benefit.

Yeah, Quantic Dream is a multiplatform dev, and they are excited about the Ultra Fast SSD's that are in the next gen consoles. Not sure what is wrong with that, I think it's great news for gamers around the world.

Can you show us where in the article you been claiming that they said this?
 
Hedon said:
Now, the ultra-fast SSD is also great news to me! I think it’s going to be a real leap forward in the quality of future games. The boosted reading speed will allow us to have much higher resolution textures, for example, since we can load them at an unprecedented speed. That means games with much more detail that we’ve had before, even on PC. But let me say it again: it’s going to take a few years to deal with so much more horsepower, and so the change within the games won’t be visible right away in a very significant manner. For the time being, it’s mostly the loading speed that will be drastically reduced.

I didn't think so.
Thanks
 
Val read that to say "PS5's SSD does what Xbox don't".

Any other interpretation is because you're a biased fanboy.
