Sony doesn't need hype. The thing with hype is that it sets up a lot of expectations and you know how it usually turns out. Sony rarely hypes its own events, unlike MS.

well, you do need to hype up your new console unveiling event.
No you don't to tell the truth .
The hype will come when they show it off.
I think some people forget how Sony did PS4 this gen .
A teaser trailer and then after that bring the hype until launch .
They literally sent out a tweet announcing Playstation meeting back in January 2013. They could just tweet out an announcement for the meeting 2 weeks before and all eyes will be on them. All I'm saying is that Sony doesn't need an event to hype up PS meeting.
chaos physics huh? thats my kinda stuff ;p
iirc they also built up to it with the history of playstation videos.
Thanks to vspectra on B3D about the backstage demo. They made it to be able to have the Luminous engine ready for the DXR Scarlett raytracing and the implementation of raytracing for PS5. Logically PS5 has a different API than DXR...

The only tease Sony ( or any product company needs ) is to send out their product announcement/unveiling invitation with enough lead time for all the major press outlets/publications in the world to be able to book flights/prepare their people to cover the event.
You know, like Apple or Samsung whenever they do their unveilings.

Interesting. CNN for hours a day with those graphics is probably the worse case scenario for burn in but then it really shouldn't happen on these TVs any way. I assume your family are in the US and wonder if you guys don't get a minimum of 5 years warranty? Most with OLED TVs here (UK) just get a replacement or new panel fitted for any burn in.
I'm still torn though because for every TV I ever bought there were horror stories about various issues that I have never had. In fact over the years I only had one problem TV (HDMI issue).
While waiting for the gif to load and the the lights turned off I honestly thought that was a real pic showing the source for the demo.

Lisa Su address, there was nothing new, unfortunately.

I wish you luck friend. May your choice be the right one for you :)
Apparently ratings.com did a test run last year. The CNN results are similar to what happened to my dad's set.
I won't touch OLED with a 10ft pole
These pics are from someone on mydealz.de with an LG C8. The person said they watched a certain morning TV show (Sat.1 Frühstücksfernsehen) from 6-8am every day for 4 months and this is the result:
Daaaayum. This is why I will not purchase an OLED until they fix this shit for good.

Kaz said in January 2013...
...so that didn't leave much time to hype February's unveiling event.
A shame the necklace is floating. Kind of undermines the coolness otherwise.
I hope next gen they improve apon sunny outdoor direct lighting.
In most games it completely takes away the detail of character models, makes them look so bland and last gen.

Yep, without character, this is really photo-realistic without having to backed the light. This is really amazing.
That's all well and good but is worth jackshit if devs don't go beyond T-pose for animating deformations for trapezius, latissimus dorsi and deltoid muscles. God of War is currently the gold standard.
I think this is ok out of the skin. I know this gen for all semi transparent surface like skin all subsurface scattering is not using PBR because this is too costly for realtime, in backstage demo, they don't use raytracing for subsurface scattering because this is too much for realtime rendering.
In The Order 1886 the most expensive shader is the subsurface scattering skin shader and they don't use PBR like every current gen game. Don't know if next generation console are powerful enough to solve the problem and use PBR for subsurface scattering. They will probably not be powerful enough for raytracing subsurface scattering but maybe this will be ok for use PBR for subsurface scattering surface... I don't think so but we need a confirmation...

I noticed when playing uncharted LL, the environments look amazing and so do the character models in certain lighting, but most of the game takes place in direct sunlight outside, and I'm like dam her face don't look that good.
It's like the main weakness for me this gen.
What about yakuza 6, faces in cinematics (realtime) are great but back to gameplay and difference is huge.
In gameplay subsurface scattering shader is not used... Too expensive...
A pixel clear of the panel from settings should fix most of those temporary burn-ins. I watch a lot of twitch and get a temporary burn-in that is always cleared when I do that. Not buying OLED because of this is like not driving in cars because of the risk of crashing :)These pics are from someone on mydealz.de with an LG C8.

Could've made it completely soft and deformable and RTed collision detection for it. Would be another interesting tech showcase.
Forget Yakuza 6. Uncharted 4, a game commonly cited as one of the best looking today occasionally turns off subsurface scattering in gameplay as well
I speak of the majority of games not only UC4 or Yakuza 6, most of games do this...
I expect even in next gen sub surface scattering will be too expensive to do. They may bake it or fake or use the other method mentioned here. It's hard for me to picture FIFA with sub surface scattering. I'm guessing they'll reserve the budget for the most noticeable flashier things first.
An actual McDonald's slider would be smaller and thus, ironically, healthier.
Until you ate two, anyway.
Hair looks very good in the Square Enix... I think next generation we will begin to notice in cutscene more and more animation problem. For example in TLOU2 PGW cutscene the coat of the two men are too rigid...
Is it off at all times or is it dynamically adjusted around rest of the game load at any given time (because sometimes it is very clear that it is lacking SSR but at other times, I can't figure it out)?

Thats the field which nextgens can change - gameplay with quality of current in game cinematics
Some of the effects/post processing stuff used in cutscenes would go a long way in improving in-game visuals, that's for sure.
I'm playing Gears 5 on the X, and the jump between cutscenes and gameplay is notable for this very reason, especially for the faces.
This along side the Frostbite hair demo gets me very excited. Aloy (Horizon) has amazing hair. Next gen the leap will really add to the experience. I keep going back to the Frostbite demo and watching it over and over. I'm smitten by it.
You're correct, it is turned off and on depending on the engine load. Similar to how shadow resolution is also scaled according to load, where in quiet closed moments like the house, shadows are very high res, but in action packed setpieces, shadows are very low resIs it off at all times or is it dynamically adjusted around rest of the game load at any given time (because sometimes it is very clear that it is lacking SSR but at other times, I can't figure it out)?

Yeah, and some guys think we can't improve quality without rt ;)
One thing about "turning sub-surface scattering" off in gameplay, is that it may not always be the case.
Better Sub-Surface Scatterings need firect lights and direct shadows - high-res shadow maps. If the lighting in an area is just driven by a cubemap, or some low-res imabe based lighting, or static light maps... then the Sub-Surface Scattering may not even show at all even though it is on!

When RT was first announced, I read somewhere that it was just one method and it may or may not catch on (just like Shader Models from Nvidia. That method did become a standard now). Does anyone know if there are other lighting techniques and their potential to be industry standards later on? Or is RT leading in this department? Also, how promising is RT really as a standard? It's hard for me to gage it because I don't know about the field and Nvidia marketing may cloud my judgement. As it is now, my view is RT looks good, but it is expensive and there is no guarantee it will be adopted as a standard yet. How accurate is that?
I was wondering why it was so jarring everytime gameplay starts again.
