How would you be able to render these graphics otherwise, modiz?

this has been their goal with anaconda since last year. its why they went with the 2 sku strategy. that doesnt make it a fact. my goal is to sleep with Jennifer Lawrence. doesnt mean i will ever get to do that.

as for what happens if they do come out on top, i think it will help them steal some people from the Sony consoles. Gamepass is a very tempting deal, and crossplay has rendered Sony's biggest advantage mute. if one doesnt need to be in sony's eco system to play with their friends why wouldnt they pick a better and more powerful console? especially if they dont care about sony exclusives which btw looking at death stranding, days gone and detroit sales is not that many people. sony fans are not the same as nintendo fans who will turn every franchise into a massive success. if you arent into action adventure games like uncharted, tlou, gow and spiderman, i see no reason for them to stick around if the console isnt as powerful, crossplay isnt a factor and is basically giving away games for a dollar.

of course, i firmly believe sony will have a bunch of online shooters from their first party studios after an entire gen of pigeonholing themselves into action adventure games but thats a topic for a different thread.

You should tell me the sales for DG and DS.
Cause all we know for DG is it sell over 1 million in the first month in USA and a few EU numbers .
Think we have even less info on DS.
Also if you check sales you would see most of nintendo games are not a massive success and the ones that are have been around for decade plus (not counting splatoon)

As long as it's close to it, if it's indeed weaker, it should be fine.
This is fair and accurate analysis. I just think it's funny people believe Microsoft would brand their console as the fastest most powerful console if it was weaker of two. Klee's a great guy but I think its wrong on this( tbf hes been vague) , the whole point of series x is to be a premium brand.

People here refused to believe Rebirth was possible. This is just me saying we can have photorealistic environments next gen. Characters look CGi, but environments look photorealistic which is what ive believed since seeing Death Stranding in action.



i think its because they were like 8 months behind on sending out devkits to third party studios and yet were the first ones to reveal the console and show off a next gen game. i dont think anyone in this thread was expecting MS to be the one to do so. Looking at how Sony gave the goahead to show off an indie game, it seems sony was caught off guard too.

dont read too much into it. it has nothing to do with tflops. the 12 tflops figure has been thrown around since early this year.
Yeah I think that's it but I wish that the first next gen game shown wasn't Hellblade 2 but a new action game from NT

I also have my goals...

And yeah, a premium brand in the Xbox division.

Death Stranding sold worse than infamous second in the u.k which is ranked 9th. it sold half the number of copies as days gone which didnt light the charts on fire either. i think both DS and DG charted on NPD but i dont see Nintendo or even GoW, Horizon or Spiderman numbers. maybe it did better in the U.S but Sony never released numbers for Days Gone which is pretty damning. we will see if they do it with DS but if they havent done it in a month, they likely wont.

as for nintendo games, you are correct. but all their big AAA franchises sell an insane number of copies. i am only talking about AAA sony franchises. i am not complaining about Concrete Genie or Gravity Rush not selling millions.

Remember my thread back then?


People thought Book Of The Dead graphics would be too good to be true even for late next-gen games.
Some devs even claimed we won't see RT in next-gen but only for PS6.

You are falling for marketing and PR. They have branded this as THEIR fastest, most powerful console. Which, no matter what, it is.

Klee has not been vague at all, so I don't know why you are trying to call him out. Even if you think Klee is wrong, other reliable people (and one more garbage human) have chimed in with their thoughts on the power comparison as well.

Klee is not the only source here.

The most important thing is the PR, which is what is officially pushed by Microsoft. Their statement on stage after the reveal and at their site. It's too easy to slightly move off script during an interview, especially live (which Phil Spencer did fine)

With that in mind, here's from the Xbox official site blogpost.

Xbox Series X will be our fastest, most powerful console ever and set a new bar for performance, speed and compatibility, allowing you to bring your gaming legacy, thousands of games from three generations and more forward with you.

Here's from their official twitter:



You can be sure that 'The Most Powerful Console' will be shout out from the rooftops if it's official that they are the most powerful. Like PS4 Pro's PR did for a short time.

Sony don't really care about releasing numbers after a while it sucks but it is what is .
It took us years to even find out how TLOU was selling .
Truth is AegonSnake this is worst gen to say Sony big games don't sell massive numbers .
Also you should note that Sony games do better ROTW than do in USA unles you talking about spidey and GOW.

4K 60FPS!

Like I said before, FPS isn't always the be-all-end-all.

Also, in-engine doesn't mean running on Scarlett, but running in-engine on some sort of devkit or PC.

I'd expect the game to look close to that target footage either way.

Do people not remember the first game Sony officially showed for the PS4 was Knack. As if that's been the barometer of games this gen. The consoles are still more than 300 days away, people need to get a grip.

Games are going to look amazing next get. Period.

The first tech demo they showed was a version of UE4 elemental demo.
Also they showed killzone shadfall, deep down and agnis philosophy. So it wasn't like "knack was the first next gen impression"

I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

At this point, saying that one next-gen console is definitively stronger than the other is disingenuous trolling, because the past 400 pages have clarified this point over and over again. Nothing Microsoft has unveiled or said has changed where we (knowledge-wise) stand.

Given that form factor of the Xbox Series X and their bold talk about it being just as quiet as the Xbox One X from couch seating distance, honest question for the big Sony fans. If they are both very close in raw power as some are saying (within 10%) that most have also said shouldn't really matter at all in games, would you rather a quieter PS5 that is slightly less powerful than Xbox Series X or a very loud PS5 that is slightly more powerful?

Sorry if this has been asked/answered but work has been killing me this week......Do we now have to wait for the E3 blowout on XSX or will they still be doing their own full reveal beforehand?

Have to say the form factor will be a pretty awkward fit in most TV/entertainment units whether vertical or horizontal. I wonder if Lockhart will be a 'normal' One S-like design rather than this tower design?

I don't mind the sound of my PS4 Pros, so I'd take the power. First party with more power is always better.

I can only say that I believe we will get a DF article and I hope DF was at TGA. Trying to be a detective by analyzing a captured video to even get a discussion started about fps is purposely doing it with an agenda, no point otherwise. HB2 will not be a 24fps game.

Memes aside, Knack's physics are better than 99% of games, i would say Cerny & his team really did show off what the PS4 could do there, just not in the way people were expecting.

Did they even state it was realtime captured? could just be rendering frames slowly then played back at 24fps
he didnt say it was realtime. simply that was inengine.

this is what inengine trailers look like nowadays.



hellblade 2 is a generational leap over these even if the final graphics dont come close to it which i think they will. the biggest thing holding back this gen is the lighting. with next gen, there will be enough tflops in there to produce incredibly realistic lighting simulations.

You mean louder and less powerful? Just kidding :) I would be more surprised if the PS5 is quiet compared to the Xbox Series X than if Sony somehow was a little bit higher on raw TF spec.

I mean, honestly it could be louder and less powerful, quieter and more powerful and then all the configurations you laid out.

In my current setup the "noise" of the Pro does not bother me at all, but my wife does notice it sometimes and ask if the console is going to explode. I'm way too used to it.

Oh it's the start of a new generation alright. The Order 1886 all over again.
It's more about the nature of the trailer, that has Senua's lifelike face emoting on screen, and the target market of it. For many, 60 fps isn't cinematic, since they've lived all their life watching movies and TV series with 24 fps.

It better not be the case for the game, but I think it's a good idea with how much of Senua's face you see, at a very short time.

I'm not trying to downplay anything - just clarify. Offline rendered using the game engine - possibly with extra AA/post processing - on what looks like a cutscene is a few steps above what you'd expect from realtime gameplay is all.

It does look crazy gorgeous, but Ninja Theory are fantastic with motion/performance capture and their art direction is incredible so that helps a lot

If you asked me before the Pro, I would have said, give me more powerful.

Is there an option 3 where it's equal and it's louder than the Series X without sounding like it's gonna explode? Lol.
