One under appreciated feature of the reveal is how many people it will make shut the hell up.

I think it would be something that would be understood by the average consumer, not hardware data decompression (even though that's probably going to be a thing).
That's quite interesting.
XSS and XSX have (supposedly) the same CPU and SSD. Not that any of it is relevant considering no one talked about what is the easiest shortcut. Yes, obviously a shitty port is easier from the lower tier console to the higher tier console.
We also know it has a 400mm² SoC which greatly diminishes the chances of it being sub 10tflops. We also know it's a nvme ssd
You think people will make less noise once the flood gates have opened?
Oh child..
OP
OP
I't going to be much worse. Just wait for the ambiguity the RT performance numbers are going to create.
Imagine debating 6 Giga Rays per second vs 7 Gigarays per second but one side has "secret sauce" that magically makes 6 Giga Rays somehow better
Yeah, in that situation, it wouldn't be as difficult. There would still be inevitable limitations though.
It would always be easier to go up rather than down from the developing and coding perspective.
Well to be honest, studios do learn from past mistakes and to me the order suffered from being rushed and needed more time in the oven so to speak. If they had DLC to add to the lore while still having that cliffhanger feel with updated gameplay like what was done with days gone, I feel that would have went a long way!
As it stands no we do want a sequel and have high hopes they listenEd to the feedback of the first one and capitalize on it and are given enough time to make this right!
And thread splitting. We'll finally have games to talk about.
It's easier if all you want is the game to run, but if you want a game that actually takes advantage of the PS5 and XSX then you build it for the most powerful console and scale down. Considering it's pretty safe to assume that the PS5 and XSX combined will probably be the lion's share of consoles sold, it wouldn't be very smart to build your game around the XSS first.
If anything, once things get revealed, I expect the shitstorm console wars to start up again.
Because why should people be adults when they can be 12 year old fanboy morons. :)
Don't read into this, it's just how it was last time. :p
Fun fact, using the same hardware, different RT ray types will result in different Giga Rays results. For instance a GI ray will cost more than a Shadow ray. So a 2080RTX used for GI rays will result in lower Giga Rays figure than a 2080RTX used for shadow rays.
Just imagine this scenario: One console has a higher TF count, the other has a faster SSD. One has 9 Giga shadow Rays, the other 6 GI rays. One has 20GB memory, the other has faster 16GB. Which one is more powerful? FIGHT!
Seriously, Nvidia's rays operation figure is still so vague it's pretty much only thrown out for marketing because it sounds big
I expect that it will continue, but it will take on a different tone, and those involved will be more readily recognized for the conspiracy theorists they are.
That's the whole idea: Ford: who gives a shit?
let's not provide the fuel for a new hopeless war, :)
Ill never forget the snarky "heh, i guess your getting the inferior version" posts for games like dragon age inquisition and shadow of mordor from back in 2014.....people were really on some shit with their console superiority complexes
There are things to consider in the design of a game that aren't scalable with sliders. The gap between the average gaming PC, the Nintendo Switch, the rumoured Lockhart and the PS5/XSX could lead to drastic differences between games depending on the hardware envelop targeted. What I am curious is to know is : will it be visible on launch game or not (I include the first financial quarter in the "launch" timeline).
I mean we've had this shit basically forever.
There's always a spike at the start of the gen as we wait for more points of differentiation to filter out between the platforms.
I can remember epic arguments over Mortal Kombat and who got the best version. "Sweat peasants" were a thing.
Yeah, it'll be like an evening in Skanstull after a football game with grown ups shouting that the team they root for is better than the other. Love that. No, not really.
Ha! I'll believe it when I see it. Having two threads early on in this speculation fest did nothing to keep the console warriors at bay. If your inclination is to start stirring trouble, why do so in a thread where nobody is likely to rise to the bait?

Chivalry II Dev: Next-Gen SSD Will Really Make a Difference for Open World, Less So for Other Games
Chivarly II developer Steve Piggott said the next-gen SSD will really make a difference for open world games, but not as much in other titles

Nah the threads was better when they were split .
In fact it was a PS5 thread only for a few months before they combine them .
This was back on GAF .

As a user anything that cut down loading going to be a huge difference for me.
Fighting games now take forever compare to the old days .
Right, it wouldn't just come down to cutting resolution and what not. It would be about scaling down level design and gameplay systems. If we assume that sort of stuff will see a notable change because of the much better tech, ports down to the lower spec consoles wouldn't be a given.
We would probably get more situations like Rise of the Tomb Raider where an entirely different studio would have to handle the port. And that doesn't guarantee a quality port nor is it something they would be able to consistently do.
So, you either start with the lowest spec and scale up or you just do next gen only games. I think starting from the top and working down has too many constraints to make it feasible.
The good part of feb coming to a close is the realization that a ton the people who think that they know whats going on have no clue
I prefer my fanboy console warriors out in the open, where they can be seen, refuted, and ignored. What I don't like is the more insidious console warring that usually takes the form of concern trolling and confirmation bias.
