Please take my mind of all the other shit...
At this stage I welcome an early 2000's era esque """console war"""

Tomorrow you'll see how much mindshare SIE has built through IP that resonates. You can't buy it. Mindshare is not an off the rack purchase. This type of energy is not sold separately.
Kinda? If it's full on BC, then for sure, but otherwise it's pretty similar to current xbox BC.
The article is pretty misleading. The fridge post has 70k likes.
I don't doubt sony has more of a social presence, but still comparing this right now feels pretty premature.
Hope you are doing well. Stay safe man with your fam.
Are you excited about tommorow?
The most trusted journalist in the industry just replied to Id engine lead (who said the PS5 is awesome) that other devs said the same, and one who worked in the industry for at least 20 years said it was the most exciting hardware since then, and you don't understand why people are excited?
If by vague you mean they didn't mention hard numbers then of course they won't, and an enginer mentioning how tf doesn't matter probably means it's only a small part of the picture considering the big jump in SSD, CPU and Ram. GPU in next consoles is most likely the thing getting the smallest upgrade from current gen.
wouldnt it be weirder if a company didn't seem confident around their products specs? How confident one company seems in their product rarely ever has any bearing on what a competitor is doing. The Series X could have had the tech specs of a Speak N Spell and MS would have been confident in them. That's how PR works.
Or that this showcase video was already finished beforehand and the decision was made to show it now. You expecting a live demonstration tomorrow?
Re. Jason's tweet, I don't think BC (PS2/PS3...) would necessarily be the most exciting thing in the world to a developer? I assume it's a reference to things relevant to PS5 development, for PS5 games.
What it could be referring to, though, I've no idea. I wouldn't necessarily take it to be referring to performance stuff though - could be 'other' things we haven't been expecting.

If not popularity of the two what do you think causes the difference? It's not magic, I can tell you that. PlayStation is more popular. Everywhere. Just because MS does better in one region than it does in another doesn't mean Sony isn't still more popular. And yes, I go off. Go off off off 🎶🕺🏿🎶 You should see my Cha-Cha.
I'm sure he's equally appalled at Sony's indiscretion.
Hh? The only leak negative to Sony was the GitHub one. All insiders and journalists said the opposite actually. But we'll see.
Hum 👀
As if hype wasn't already huge!
Pretty simple to dismantle too. This was planned for this week at GDC, which means it's been ready for a while. It's not a knee jerk reaction if it was primed and ready for this week. This isn't hard to grasp.
Honestly unless it does something completely new it's valid for people to not be excited. Full bc isn't exciting I want to see something brand new that they are the first to do. I'm maintaining the hype level to a middle ground.
This means full backwards compatibility across all PlayStation family systems to me.
Yes lol
This is like being surprised that "TES 6 OFFICIAL GAMEPLAY" trailer has more views and social media impressions than "DRAGON AGE 4 OFFICIAL GAMEPLAY" or the reveal of the New iPhone vs the new Galaxy etc....
No shit a much popular brand has way more interactions on social media than a weaker brand
Is that really 20 years of hardware exciting?
I mean Xbox has done something pretty similar for a while now.
It's ex-GDC week.
A developer of cutting edge games is not going to be most excited by BC lol
I am going to go with #theywillshowthe console!
I have a feeling since the design for the XboxSX has been out there for a while, SONY is going to go with a big splash and reveal a LOT of what we want to know. They will probably have just as large of an audience with the stay at home social distancing as they would have at E3 at this point. So I feel they take back any momentum, blow out the specs, some features, and the design. Then, they have the next 8 months to a year (if it gets delayed) to discuss many finer points, show games, show operating system features, sharing/streaming, etc.

SSDs *have* improved drastically from PS4 times to PS5. I also didn't think the difference was that big but it is. Note the PS4 shipped with a 5400RPM HDD. Just look at the table here (under the section Basic Tests). The internal drive is on a SATA II port btw. The PS4 Pro also shipped with a SATA III port but didn't use it well. If you combine the moving from HDD to SSD, and then look at the bandwidth and speed improvements, and then look at things like optimization, software/hardware tricks (I'm sure Sony will have some of their own like MS unveiled DirectStorage), and havingt he game be purpose built for an SSD, that technology can be leveraged quite well and give a massive benefit over what we have now.
Give this a watch (from 2:15 to 3:15 - it's talking about another subject but the info is relevant).
I honestly thought we would not be able to hear one single thing about the Ps5 until covid 19 was behind us
BVH structure hardware acceleration for RT.

Wonder if you guys are also getting a hands on exclusive video ready 🤨
Appreciate the sentiment, trying to, and hope everyone else is too.
But hell yes, learning more about a brand new PlayStation is a once-in-a-decade type deal, definitely excited! :)
You'll get to play BloodBorne at 4K 60fps, but it won't be Bloodborne. Rather BloodBorne II :)
Same, I'm especially curious because I'm about to furnish a new apartment and would like to know what kind of media center I'm going to have to build and what requirements I need to put on it :D
TF (lol) 🤔 this must mean something... let's crack the code.
Looks like a good field goal kick, or maybe praise the sun.
Joking
It must be a developer that met the Amiga 500 and its famous blister.
I think he is talking about something innovative, not playing 25 years old games
why would a developer be hyped for Backward compatibility?
