I was thinking that sort of testing was (semi) automated and/or done during QA. The CTO going hands on and back to basics threw me!
Like Naga says above it could be plenty of things.
On top of that, they had each of probably 2/5 best technical teams on the planet release a game with the engine. So it should be highly optimized by now compared to say when they first worked on Horizon
Yeah of course. Just saying I think microsoft is not really associated with shooters per se anymore. At least I don't think it's their strategy going forward.
Might not be their strategy for the gaming division but mixer etc might want it for the exposure which is what I could see happening in the future.
We've been looking at the BC thing wrong. Next Ratchet & Clank playable on OG PS1!
This back button feels really good! It's where my hands naturally rest anyway...just gained two additional inputs with what feels like "for free".
So I have a question about Nier Automata and I put this in the OT but I'm not sure how much notice it will get there so I will ask here as well. Would appreciate any advice for getting started anyone can give!
So I've just started playing this, only about 40 something minutes in, but does the game not auto-save at all? I died to the first proper boss with the two saw-arms, and I was put all the way back to the beginning. I think I may have seen a warning about saves but I can't say I really took note of it. And I don't know if it really didn't save or is this some Yoko Taro subversive trolling thing?

It's why I really hope they bake it into the stock PS5 controller.
As far as I remember it only has manual saves. It does have checkpoints as well, but if you turn our PS4 off you'll revert back to whatever your last manual save was rather than that checkpoint.
If I remember correctly you have designated save booths throughout the world.
You can only save manually at save points in Nier Automata. You won't encounter any until after the prologue mission, so I'm afraid you'll need to beat it in one. It's what killed me playing on the higher difficulty for me.
Thanks. That's a bit of a ballache but I'll give it another try later. Feels a bit weird needing to go back to manual saves for what feels the first time in about 15 years!
I wish Nier Automata was strictly linear. Didn't enjoy the open world game design at all which is why I never finished it. But I do feel I should give the game another chance since I hear a lot of people saying it has a great payoff. Maybe some day.
On the loyalty discussion, i'm honestly not shocked about PS fans perhaps being on top. I'm studying for a Computer Engineering degree in México, so the vast majority of my peers are into gaming. Almost all of the "ride or die" people that I know are PS or PC only folk.
Funny enough, the main reason that I hear for having a soft spot for PS is the high turn-over rates for IPs. There is just something special about having different waves and eras of PS IPs for different times during our lives.

Really, I'm mexico?? Thought thst was a huge XBox market because of gears
Anyone happen to know all the rumored things he's been tweeted about? Lol
It's usually automated/QA yeah, but you have to go into more old school methods when automation isn't working anymore for some weird bugs.
I agree that someone from QA should do that for him though, even if he's just trying a fix. That's their job for stuff that is hard to test.
edit:
ok people need to stop asking every industry person about what they're doing, this is ridiculous

It really does help create distinct eras and an air of unpredictability.
PS1: Crash, Spyro, Tomb Raider, FFVII, Metal Gear, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal etc.
PS2: Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Kingdom Hearts, Sly Cooper, Okami, God of War, SOCOM, Killzone, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.
PS3: Uncharted, Resistance, inFamous, The Last of Us, Heavy Rain, Demon's Souls, etc.
PS4: Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Bloodborne, The Last Guardian, Astro Bot, Horizon, etc.
I love Sony's commitment to presenting new IP as their tentpole franchises. Nintendo and Microsoft dabble with new stuff, but their biggest games are extremely predictable. Sony has some predictable sequels too of course, but I think they're the best at busting out completely unexpected IP from their heavy hitter devs.
Can't wait to see what new IPs we get treated with on PS5! It's going to be so hype when we see Naughty Dog's first new IP since the PS3 era, or SSM's first new IP since the PS2 era.
It's a shame (Well, not really) that ND didn't make any new IP for the PS4 gen but you could technically count LOU as it came at the tail end of the PS3.
It would be great to see them work on a completely new setting and gameplay rather than something familiar, but of course it'll be years before it bears fruit.

Completely agree!! But it's almost a disservice to lump Nintendo and Microsoft together with IP quality. Nintendo may use tried and true IP, and I'm the first one to say F Mario games always getting 9.9's on meta they are just fun games and have no story, ok visuals, and just no point to them but gameplay challenges when I think games can be way more than that. How about put some comedy in the next Mario Nintendo sheesh? I just feel stupid chasing all these pretty glowing stars now come on! Cater to adults a little more.
but I digress, aside from my pet peeve with Mario, they absolutely reinvent the franchises. The made a GOTG with Ocarina of Time and again with BOTW. They created new IP like Splatoon. And they make gameplay so unique that nothing in the entire industry plays like Smash Brothers. Halo peaked after a few iterations, it does not consistently reinvent the wheel of FPS, or anything like that. Nintnedo May use the same IP, but it's often in name only. The games are many times completely new and fresh.
I will always say Sony can refresh a bit more of their old IP. They have a good balance, but some stuff is begging to keep going because the gameplay has solid foundations.
People seriously believed the February 5th rumor? Lmao, unless Sony is revealing it at an event without press we would have known if it was that soon.
Someone fucking take the NDA bullet for the team and save the internet.
Kleegamefan was the only verified insider who spoke on it and he said end of February. 🤷♂️
Yeah same here, the open world was doing nothing for me when I played it. I eventually dropped it and I don't know if I'll eventually come back to it.
Why does Sony keep letting this guy release games?
It's one of my favorite games of last year. People like always were quick to jump on the hate bandwagon when the mediocre reviews started coming out. Game genuinely keeps getting better and better the more you play.
For a first attempt at an AAA game from Bend it was a huge accomplishment.
oh yeah, don't get me wrong, Nintendo are the kings of reinvention and evergreen franchises. I would love Sony to find a middle ground between their massive push for new IP and keeping old IP alive.
Ideally they'll either let less experienced /new studios work on entries in the old franchises that have already been broken in & established by their big dogs, or as they expand all their main studios they'll have the B team work on older franchises while the A team paves the way with new IP.
And Microsoft... well, they're the kings of Gears and Halo, I'll give them that haha
I wonder how much this guy makes? I should buy a dev kit 😆

So,I just read in the other place,one of the "insiders" :
GPU: PS5>SeX ~10%
RayTracing Accelerators: PS5>X1 (PS5's RT works by using acceleration structures and algorithms much like nVidia's RTX cores)
CPU: Sex>PS5 ~ 6%
Memory: PS5>Sex for the size and bandwidth
SSD: PS5>Sex ~ Over twice as fast (this is the biggest and most noticable difference)
Fan noise (Dev-Kit): Sex>PS5 (not as egregious 1x vs. Pro).
BTW it's up to you believe me or not, but things gonna be clear very soon and you will find out who knows and who knows shit.
Bonus?
Remedy and Housemarque have been in Sony's WWS family for a while now!
Techland belongs to MS now!
the other "inside" replayed with:
The reason Techland delayed Dying Light 2 is because it ran so poorly on the base Xbox One but yeah Techland is Microsoft now. Remedy and Housemargue are in the final stages of being required by Sony, it's not a done deal just yet.

Techland going to MS makes sense I guess as I'm pretty sure Spencer spent alot of time over in Poland recently. Remedy would be a great get for Sony, as well as Housemarque. Will be interesting to see what they can come up with for their AAA game..
This is already false. Since remedy is a public company if they got bought everyone would know by now.
So, are we going to see a new tech demo? If yes, whom will show their engine? I think we can outrule Quantic Dream as they did back in 2013. Decimal Engine would be my guess
