Like it.

But not really relevant anymore.
And yet MS cant confidently say they have next gens most powerful console. Only that it's their most powerful Xbox and that they feel like they want to be the most powerful.
It was the first impression. And we are comparing apples to apples. In a comparison of the first games shown for their respective upcoming consoles, MS came out on top. Sony simply should have shown better, or not at all yesterday.
There is no doubt about the strength of Sony's IP. They should have led with that.
What an engine can do in one pair of hands, and what it could do - period - are very different things. It's not like you're guaranteed a certain standard because of a particular engine choice and a particular piece of hardware. So much depends on the developer, their choices, their aims etc. Without wanting to diss Godfall, there'll be more impressive UE4 games on PS5. And less impressive ones too, I'm sure! Games won't magically homogenise to a certain level of 'technical impressiveness' just because of new hardware... there'll still be a range of stuff that's clearly aiming for different technical goals.
The question of the choice of Godfall as 'the first PS5 game shown' is a different one, but I don't think it was chosen because it was the best looking thing in dev at the moment for PS5. It was probably chosen because the publisher thought it would be a good opportunity to get it some attention, and Sony allowed it.
MS's first was halo, if that showing can be forgotten so can Sony's right?
I'm sorry, did Sony show off a first party PS5 game? A bit strange to compare, or be worried about, a 3rd party multiplatform game.
This sounds exactly like what Sony is already doing. 1 and 2 especially.

Direct quote from Phil Spencer last night
"Our goal has always been to build the most powerful console we can, and I think we're there. We like leading in power and performance and I feel like we're going to be there again."
I hoped they would have shown big too. It seems they are holding their nuclear weapons for their event.
Too early. You can't just drop all the important info 10 months before and then repeat yourselves for the next 10 months until release. People will get bored of the message and start to poke holes in it. Marketing 101.
The reveal wasn't a Sony reveal. It was a Gearbox reveal from their publishing arm of an indie game. All they did was get permission from Sony to say that it is releasing on the PS5.
You can see that this is obvious by looking at the end of the trailer, which uses current gen marketing/branding. They'll likely have new marketing/branding for the official reveal.

A. It's poor form, you don't announce your competitors specs before they even have a chance to market. Sony didn't do that with the ps4
B. Phil used the same lingo " we believe" before the pro was even announced, it's called safe guarding
C. Who's to say some random ass console don't come out next year that will be more powerful like a steam machine or sega comes back. It's covering your ass pr
That is not confidence. They feel like it. I'm sure Sony feels like it too.
That was essential a tech demo highlighting the Slipspace engine. That was before the console was named.
No one is saying that Sony is doomed. All I am saying is that they should have led with better.
LOL. I hope somebody tweets that at Phil.Just look what I found in my twitter feed: LOL
The correct PR/marketing move here is to say this quote even if you know you are weaker. Why? It's easy to walk back and shows that you have confidence in your brand and product.
In reality, it does not mean much of anything.
Sounds like you already have your mind made up, and only want to see thing how you want it to be. Phil Spencer is very calculated in what he says, but you can believe what you want.
Understood.
If I was Sony, I would have politely declined to attach the PS5 name to Godfall.
If anything, this thread has proven how obsessed people are with which console is more powerful, so Microsoft knows that's marketable. Also, why reveal everything now when you know more people are in invested in PlayStation and excited for the PS5 reveal, which is a perfect time to combat some of that excitement by revealing more about your console and its power. People are suckers for numbers and wondering who has the more powerful console.
Then they wouldn't get their game hyped at all. Attaching anything to PS5 in the current times can bring more interest to your game.
Thing is, what makes sense to you doesn't mean much for companies. This goes to a lot of rather questionable opinions we can read in this thread.
Isn't this Godfall game like the equivalent of the PS4 launch game Warframe. Small studio low budget. It's certainly no sign of the ultimate graphics lol. Hell blade looks incredible. We get glimpses of those photorealistic landscapes crammed with detail that we can hope to expect how. The next GTA game will be ludicrous.
Thanatos better at analyzing PR than I am, and I wasn't half-bad at my job.
Imagine if Sony shows a trailer of GTA6 during their event? What will happen?
Look, ppl arguing about which has more flops, and I'm excited that another impossible thing was laid to rest with the reveal. Multiple games can be suspended.
This was at the top of my wish list. Everything else is whatever.
Can utilize streaming to start playing games while waiting for it to download.
This has my attention.
I value, welcome and want the quality of life improvements.

Eyeballs will pop. I half expect they could do a trailer, make it look and feel like a film at first and then blow people away when they realise it's a game and that it is obviously GTA6. Sadly I think that moment is probably a good 2/3 years away.
I work in PR/Marketing as a Product Marketer/Community Manager, so I've had quite a bit of practice! The trick, not sure if it was the same for you, was to always look at what was NOT being said.
When a company knows they have a unique selling point/feature/strength, they almost grind it into the dirt from shouting it so much. This is not one of those cases, yet (or it may not be the case at all).
Either way, always nice to see another PR friend :)

Interesting take on why you can't preorder Series X yet. Their basic argument is they want to inform consumers more about what it offers. Google link because Gamespot keeps 404ing
Because you can't just come out and say you have the most powerful console when the other side hasn't publicly revealed their specs.
You say it with a caveat like (we believe).
Over the past week, MS has leaked the 12TF and revealed the power of the console and made a ton of statements around how they believe they will be the most powerful console next gen. PS5 dev kits have been out for awhile so PS5 specs are known. Tom Warren keeps hinting at this fact.
Considering the above and MS' confidence in their statements, you should be able to easily read between the lines.
I was talking about this because of the rumros that Sony would buy Take 2 or that GTA6 was going to be a timed exclusive for PS5. Not my own preferences or yours.
It's obvious that Shu likes the t-shirt, as he loves media molecule dreams.
I don't think buying GTA6 timed exclusivity is a thing. It will cost an insane amount of money. And I mean, everyone can paste anything into a pastebin, post it here and use it as "there was a rumor for bla" arguments.
I was hoping that we would get a Shadowfall moment last night. I was not disappointed. As a former 8TF GCN guy, I am so glad I was wrong.
XSeX or just the SeX seems to be the consensus.

You should calll klee, because he obvious didnt read between the lines.
That Hellblade trailer is so fucking good. I'm also so happy at the specs we seem to be getting all around. I've apparently underestimated AMD and both companies' engineering teams and am so happy to be wrong. Can not believe we're really looking at Zen 2 CPUs with healthy clocks, SSDs, and 12tflop GPUs with RT and VRS. The stars aligned for some amazing technology this time around and I am so excited to see what comes of it.
And that's possibly true, but my original idea was just a random hypothetical in regards to MS's thinking as response to the original question from a previous poster. Sony is doing just fine at the moment, so I'm not concerned either way.
What exactly are we looking at here? Will this part of the world be explorable?Unreal Engine Rebirth Demo topped.
I am so happy.
Okay that's my new avatar hahahahJust look what I found in my twitter feed: LOL
