I doubt it. Even if the two consoles are mirrors of each other with minute differences, people are still going to console war. Don't forget, your average console warrior thinks having the most teraflops determines who has the strongest system, when it is never that simple.
This will probably be a lot of technical discussion and probably not a reveal. I doubt we will actually see the console but I hope I'm wrong. Still, regardless I'm excited to see what he has to reveal.
Complaining about the timing of the reveal is weird to me. Anything that distracts us from the horribleness that is the 24/7 news cycle these days is a good thing imo.
I never said it doesn't get attention. ERA is definitely an enthusiast bubble in terms of viewing these announcements and I just think Sony would be better off doing a traditional reveal. Simple as that.
Maybe it seems that way but it's more likely a result of GDC being canceled. They mentioned in the Japanese Twitter post but this was suppose to be at GDC. People have been saying that Sony and Microsoft had to reveal specs before GDC for a while now because more devs were getting access to the dev kits. This wouldn't have even been a thought on people's minds if GDC had happened and it was announced in a panel.
Doubt it.
He probably already knew the PS5 specs as well as Sony knew the Series X specs.
All of your posts regarding anything PS5 is annoying. Just calm down, my goodness
To keep expectations in check, I wouldn't expect them to go into much detail into specific things like VRR and VRS, etc as to the capabilities of their GPU. Sony seems to like to give everyone some surface level explanations of capabilities, even if their hardware is capable of some of those juicy new features. At least in their big presentations that are going to be seen by a wide range of customers.
If they do a DF type thing though I would expect them to drop all that stuff. They could surprise me though and list off a bunch of those things but I don't expect them to. For example, they may talk about "intelligently rendering certain parts of a scene in more detail and others in less detail" instead of saying VRS. Or "support for a variety of display configurations" instead of VRR/AdaptiveSync.

You know how to think. This is me as well. I don't think anyone will be disappointed by the games we'll play on it though.
Thats the jokeDude, you actually called someone out for exactly this in the XSX thread. Troll post?

Lol I think that's the joke. Its word for word lol
The timing certainly does make it seem like this is Sony reacting to MS taking advantage of Sony's radio silence and getting all of the (positive) headlines lately with the architecture reveal of XSX. That said, I'll be really interested to see just how similar the two systems are.
I didn't think about that, but that's something that would be a perfect fit for a GDC presentation, would it not. Gyro aiming (optional!) and the touchpad were criminally underused (controlling the O.W.L was great), IMO, so let's hope that the new triggers are great and get a lot of support.
And a snippet of footage or at least tech demos that are structured like gameplay sequences, please.
True. Plus that if it's in Xbox Case I'm afraid plenty of devs still won't bother with extra power. Sadly with too many games since One X we've seen that they basically made it exactly like PS4 Pro and called it a day. Some devs truly took advantage of the hardware, Rockstar for instance.
Why? He seems to have completely turned the Xbox division and perception of them around.
There is no scenario where Sony will have a lower user base than Microsoft in global console numbers which is why they have pivoted to Gamepass which in itself is amazing.
Or maybe Sony wanted MS to announce proprietary storage expansion options first LOL
He'll surely come around to the idea. Just in time for Sony's reveal!
Mark Cerny's about to get on here and pump up Super Charged PC architecture at FP16 levels... XSX= 12.1 Tflops, PS5=18.4!
We got a bucket poured over our heads yesterday by MS I don't know what you mean.
Woooo!
Oh yeah!

You bet your ass. The site won't be able to handle the pressure. I predict the website will go down tomorrow.
Couldn't give a rat's ass about TFLOPS.
But as long as I get next gen features like RTX, 4K60 etc at an affordable price, with a decent controller I'm in.
100%
MS is looking to increase market share. They know what they will not lead global sales.
time's gonna get tougher coming ahead...and although i (and maybe yourself) can afford even a $1000 console, sony is in the business to sell their console to the general audience, not the 'hardcore' only.
The lower price of launch PS4 (compared to Xbox one) and the very deliberate hardware choice of the PS4 Pro to make it $399 too means that this is the magic price point sony has determined that most consumer will be willing to part.
Again, we'll see though tomorrow. (though i don't think we'll get price and launch date, just technical deep dive).
This way makes sense to me for both manufacturers. Talk about the specs now to generate conversation and articles then do a proper reveal a bit further down the line and get even more column inches.
Yeah so a handful of gamers could prove they don't know jack and Sony could then better explain their own proprietary storage solution to those gamers
Man, I'm going to be very glad to end the speculation on performance (as long as we get a full rundown of specs).
Yeah, I think that argument may well run past launch. Both might be 'most powerful' in different ways. It might end up that different systems are better for different games depending on their performance profile, or better in different ways simultaneously.
Or....one might be clearly better than the other along most or all dimensions. We will see. But the more nebulous scenario seems quite possible at the moment.
Team: glad the speculation will finally be over!!
Hopefully it's close enough I can go back to not knowing what at Tflop is
