They wouldn't have to give a full spec breakdown. Just a taste until the PS Meeting. They could even focus in on specific parts of the machine like the sound chip, for example.

I have my doubts on backwards compatibility beyond PS4. If Sony tries to do what they did this gen with rereleases I know the list will be incredibly paltry (and it's not their fault I know, but a hardware solution for PSx games should be at least present).
New drinking game. Every time a next gen article says "pinch of salt," you have to take a drink.
The teaser for "see the future" was published on January 31st 2013. The event followed three weeks later.
Hope we see a teaser soon for this year's meeting.

Oh yeah, the kind of thing that brings in the views. Sound chips
I think this gen has shown there will be a market for remakes and remasters even when a BC option exists. Even a slight update to graphics or controls can generate new sales.
There's a lot of things that prevent games from getting a rerelease, heck even with the Xbox One BC program, there's a lot of titles that may never get repackaged to run on Xbox One and beyond. That's 'cause those devs and publishers are long gone and those licenses may never be renegotiated (or whatever needs to be done.)
That, and well, Sony insists on having trophy support for all PS4 titles. For what purpose, I do not know, but not every dev is going to put resources into getting that done.
Which is fine! I am happy with what I can get, but some of those PSx/PS2/PS3 games will never get releases. Just ensuring hardware PSx support (disc-based) is enough to add hundreds of titles to the PS5 library.
But of course, who wants to play those old games? Me only apparently ;_;
Another proof of the decline of this world. From sport to politics to console fanboys... We had Chad Warden back in 2007
It was an account ran by the Mods. Not an actual insider
I read this before but was not sure if it was true never saw evidence one way or the other
Are we not expecting a xbox event before E3? That would seem kind of disappointing if it didnt occur.
The way they revealed their console was rather underwhelming if you ask me. A quick trailer, one game/exclusive, no gameplay, no specs. And then you moved on to the next announcement which had nothing to do with the console.
So it would he cool if they had a proper unveiling event before E3. If Sony announce PS5 in February and have lots of games and gameplay shown I feel it would capture a lot of mindshare and talk leading up to E3.

Seems like half of gaf was an "insider" at one point lol. That's why I don't blame people for being skeptical here. I can't even count how many people got called out on their lies and fake connections. Devs had to come and call people out. People that post here too. If I recall correctly, CBOAT did call a few leaks right. I have no right to believe anyone here is a liar until they're wrong. Even then they could just of been fed wrong info. Hard to believe anyone online or trust anyone though. They're just a name with an avatar. Nobody really knows anyone.
So couldn't it be possible that PS5 is like 9ish RDNA and still be more powerful than Stadia like Schreier said?
I just have a gut feeling that a lot of the confusion between some insiders comes down to what a teraflop and whether or not it's RDNA or GCN.
Wasn't cboat an ms insider? Ms seem quite transparent this time would be more interesting if he had Sony information to leak.
That is a possibility, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know; my hardware-fu dates back to when the Geforce 6800XT was amazing :P
If I'm remembering right Jason said they were aiming to beat Stadia's numbers, not Stadia's performance. Also Klee's 10tf+ number was specified to be RDNA.
Evilore is a fucking shit stain. Please everyone stop talking about that site or that fuck.
Or rather, the kind of thing that is relevant to the event.
You tried, Lant.
Those exclusives will still be there, waiting for you in ~2023.
People will get hyped for ps1-3 BC then realize that most games from those gens wouldn't be available. I'd love to play Thrasher Skate and Destroy but no way in hell are those licenses still valid. I'd be surprised if many 1st party sony titles don't have lapsed licensing agreements.
Well, they are saying both consoles will be on par. I don't think there is anything confusing about that.
I have a few dozen PS1 games, few dozen PS2 games and like 50 PS3 physical games + hundreds of digital ones. I'd be happy to have it all available easily to play on one console. But I get your point that not everyone kept their games or were around for those gens.
This isn't true from what I know. I met an admin from there once and they let that account owners name slip.
I currently have about 30ish PSX games, 100+ PS2 games, 30+ PS3 games. I'd love this to be true. Pop in my copy of legend of dragoon so damn fast! Lol
So damn fast on a PS5 that it turns into the remake 🤯
Of course, they can go over it, but they'd need to use a completely different Navi architecture to get to 48 CUs. I'm going with what's been leaked and confirmed as legit so far. Is there something out there that indicates the 40 CU architecture is wrong or is there just an assumption that it is?
Yep, and assuming the 360/Xbox BC releases resume in 2020, I know I still have a # of games that won't make it as a rerelease...
...well, that is, if they don't try to sell a digital license with it. There's a tiny selection of games that are BC that AFAIK you can't buy, only physical works. Maybe Sony can adopt a similar system? But even then, there's a massive amount of PSx/PS2 games...
'Tera' as a number 1,000,000,000,000. There is no change in what it means between GCN/RDNA/whatever.
Where the difference lies in in how much work you can do with those 1 trillion operations. RDNA is more efficient and can perform more complex operations then GCN per TF.
Based on AMD's numbers, 1 RDNA TF has 1.25x more compute potential than GCN, the easiest thing to do is take the GCN value and divide by 1.25 tp get the power equivalency in TF (i.e. the TF required to do the same job)
So:
Stadia - 10.7G/1.25=8.56R
X1X - 6G/1.25=4.61R
Pro - 4.1G/1.25=3.28R
Make a note of those two mid-gen numbers. If Sony say Ps5 is 3x Pro, we're looking at a 9.n machine, same for MS and the XSX based on their 'twice as powerful' statement.
It doesn't matter what they navi card they go with. The arch is the same. They can disable all the cus they want.
Not going to quote posts, but I'd advise some people edit them. The staff post is clear about what is ok to discuss.

You could always make a thread about why you think sound chips aren't worth views.
Thank you.
Hmm... Something sounds incredibly wasteful about disabling 30 CUs for PS4 BC, but we'll see.

I'd like a remastered version of AC:Unity.

Give me that...
