PS5 and Xbox Series speculation launch thread |OT9| - For flops sake!

Exactly last year by now we knew they were skipping e3 as they offcially annouced it
Yeah that'd be cool. Speculation for a potential Crackdown 3 actually began when someone noticed that the Xbox One OS demo had a tile with Crackdown agility orb.
ROFL ..now imagine him streaming this on Twitch and being number 1 viewer.
Yes, and they are also spoofing the processor ID to make it seem like a Jaguar:
Yes. So, in my mind those levers exist to enforce strict compatibility modes. Once you're in boost mode with a significantly higher clock, I think strict compatibility modes are pretty much out the window. It may be enough to just obscure or selectively disable features/resources.
I actually think they'll announce their return to E3 at the end of the PS Meeting.
Don't feel sorry for him. Watch his explanation of why he fucked up. He never practiced or rehearsed and spent the whole day sightseeing. iirc he was late to the ea booth and missed the rehersal.
it should be on his youtube channel.
edit: it seems like he rehearsed but in the rehearsal the teleprompter was different than the speech they gave him.
That's pretty much confirming the E0/1 stepping chip we saw earlier in the week was oberon which is now an engineering sample.
oberon/flute is probably the final version
Wth is going on. Someone translate cause I haven't been keeping up with codenames.
The question is, how many games will break once that happens. There are a lot of games suffering from boost mode bugs on Pro and that's the exact same CPU only with different clock speed. So what will happen when both the clock and the architecture changes? Who knows. Maybe they will have another mode with everything on, boost mode and ultra boost mode or something :)
BTW, another one of their BC patents, replacing assets in BC games with new assets, basiclly an artist remastering the game without touching the code:
I could see next gen being defined by whoever has the crazy good storage tech. If you're 2 Tflops below the competition, it's not a big deal when it's a difference of 20% and maybe shadows are tuned a little lower with less ground clutter. However if you're loading 20% faster, that sounds yummy to me.
Wth . So arden is gonzalo ? Didnt we get a confirmation that arden is xsx ?apisak is saying arden is ps5?
Arden is xsx. He's not saying it's ps5. Arden, oberon, and ariel are equivalents.
Oh so i m misunderstanding the last line saying ariel and oberon and arden are drivers in the gonzalo apu

YOLO mode. 😄
Microsoft have already said the Series X is going to have virtually no loading times. I don't think you're going to see notable differences in that area.
Could be a drinking game, put on YOLO mode and drink if the game runs :)
Yup and I expect the commercials to have "starting at $299".
Assuming that's the price of Lockhart.
Ariel is the predecessor to oberon. Ariel was part of gonzalo. Oberon is part of flute. Arden is the xsx equivalent of oberon. Likely retail gpus.
Yes. He's saying all of those are APUs, and they are named in the driver. He's saying Gonzalo is not an APU name, it's a platform name.
Serious doubt on the actual possibility of this. Zen2 won't perform like Jaguar no matter what.
This real life example is definitely more subtle
I make a point of it in the video, but glass's perpendicular reflectivity to you looking to it is very dependent on the background behind the glass itself. The darker that background behind it is, the more stark the reflected light from the front looks.
So yeah, transparent glass definitely can look very "mirror" like if the room / area lighting conditions and area materials from the perspective of the viewer line up.
If you look at this screen shot from control from that same video - the reflection of that electronics dish in the transparent glass is more visible in the area behind the glass that is dark than it is in the area behind the glass that is whitish!
That woud be bad ass. But to be honest, unless we are given a tech person to talk to - our interviews can be TERRIBLY off-topic for DF.
A property exploited by stage magicians and illusionists.
gonzalo is a motherboard? i remember that the github leak states gonzalo as the apu or thats just name confusion?
Man, people and rumours are really funny. Now Xbox Series X Will Support Steam And Epic Store :rollingeyes:
Yes Microsoft wants to lose software sales on console. Makes sense.
I am just hoping for a Perfect Dark from The Initiative. And for a Horizon 2 from Guerilla. Extra TF are nice of course, but I am here for the games and since SEGA won't make a console again, my inner fanboy died anyway... hahahaha
[I was working for SEGA in Austria from the Mega Drive to the Dreamcast days... was the best job ever, although we didn't matter much but still got all those nice Beta's for EPROM and later on disc ;) - sry for off-topic]

There was someone in the Xbox OT claiming that The Coalition is working on Perfect Dark as a side project, but more in a preproduction/prototyping stage. He said they're working on multiplayer first, and would move onto single player once they nail the MP mechanics. Can't speak to his credentials, so I'm not sure how reliable the rumor is.
Remember Steam Machines? Now MS are manufacturing them. LOL.
Great . Thanks guys for the explanation
I am not for or about inflation as the justifier for why console pries should or would go up. ut I do believe they will and should.
My reasoning for this is what I call "necessary tech", or better yet let's call it an advancement tax.
Prior to the PS360 gen, consoles basically had a fixed number of components. Processor, disc drive, controller....etc. Come to the PS360 gen, things like HDDs, cooling systems (or at least more elaborate ones), more expensive disc drives, and a slew of wireless apparatus were tacked on. Not much changed with the move into the current-gen. With next-gen, where the tech tax will end up going to is with RAM, SSD, and cooling. I believe those three areas would have them spending more money on them than they did in the current-gen while most of everything else wil remain about the same. They may also be spending more money on their respective APUs.
So for me, it's not about inflation, but that as time progresses certain kinds of tech trends are either necessitated or made mandatory and they add to hiking up prices.
Eg, A Blu ray drive will cost no less than $25. A UHD drive will cost no less than $35. A 1TB HDD will cost no less than $25. A 1TB SSD at launch may just not be able to cost any less than $40. Cooling a 160W console may have cost no less than $40, cooling a 200W+ system may require more advanced cooling and may cost no less than $60. We are already $40 "more expensive" and we haven't even got to things like RAM and the APU.
Well it is not like I can find an exact replica of the glass and scene or something!
Oberon is still being tested. They wouldn't be testing a chip this late in development if there was another chip following it.
IMO of course.
I understand what you are saying now. Where is Flute, the successor to Gonzalo though?
I posted something along those lines a handful of pages ago. Didn't get any feedback.
Understand but still think that this first rt games want to show rt reflections so much that they kinda looks unnatural, I'm sure when rt will be more common in nextgen consoles games effects also will be more subtle and better.
Flute was tested back in June, after dev kits went out. Or are you asking why I think flute is the successor to gonzalo?
I've already said it more than once. They do not have the same worldwide situation. Sony will be selling to more countries. MS won't have to produce as many because they won't be selling in as many countries. Thus, a 2:1 in Sony's favor makes logical sense. We saw the same thing happen in the beginning of this gen.
Not sure if this has been posted already, but there's an OpenVR benchmark with an unknown AMD gpu "crushing" the 2080ti by a 17% margin.
As big Navi is part of the discussion, here's the link:

Posted on previous pages. It's a laptop running a an amd apu and a rtx 2060. Either way, the results don't add up so it's either a spoofed product ID or fake or who knows what.
You don't have to do a conference to get people talking. We'll all be better off (and have more free time) when E3 finally does the right thing and dies.
No we didn't, they were pretty equal in the first year.
