the underlying OS has nothing to do with "copying" issues
They should have announced the PS5 reveal date right next to the E3 cancellation.
If only they were revealing a major hardware item soon.
Honestly, if sony were to use SoP for a PS5 reveal blowout it would e the best thing they could ever do.
The PS5 logo on Instagram was the most liked gaming related post of all time. I think the hype level is fine.
PS4 still has a crazy slate of exclusives coming out and we're only 14 days into the new year. Announcing it now vs. a month from now won't make the PS5 come out any sooner.
Thanks for sharing this, Alex. People are so led by the bandwidth numbers, they forget completely about the major advantage, latency and access times. I don't say bandwidth is not important but we are talking about something between 16 and 24 gb of RAM. It will be filled fast with anything >1gb/s anyway.
Star Citizen heavily leverages this portion of an SSD's speed. Not its bandwidth for large files over time (which it also uses of course), but its immediate seek speed for small files. Grabbing tons of tiny files off the disk and bringing them into RAM constantly. A Sata 3.0 SSD and higher end NVME SSD here actually have pretty similar performance even though the NVME is much faster at larger read writes. And HDD is impossibly slow at those tasks in comparison if you look at the numbers there for two 7200 RPMs in Raid 0.
And Optane absolutely blows an NVME or normal SSD out of the water in those smaller tasks. Order of magnitude.
Notice how optane destroys even an Nvme SSD in 4K reads.
They have a number of posts and interviews about it scattered out over the years of behind the scenes coverage of the game, but I am also (writing it here on ResetERA first) going to be some dedicated Star Citizen coverage soon where I will have interviews regarding this stuf. I hope you guys like it.
The reason why the game focuses on that burst / parallel data grabbing from the SSD is due to its world and asset design, and not because of the physics so much so. The game's asset size in the sizte of its world is the thing that motivated them to focus on this type of game loading. How do we stop the game from stuttering with multiple ship models and worlds where each one is multiple hundreds of megabytes in memory?
It would have been more interesting If they were there, and Sony reason seem to be issues with the E3 association forbtheirn part. Some fans don't seem to have an issue with it at all.
I feel like Sony would end up being sued for causing meyhem and deaths worldwide.
I get the desire for info, I'd like at least a date for an event. However Sony probably looked at the reaction to the Logo reveal and while there was some mocking, the loyal loved it, and they most likely thinking "We have the momentum and brand loyalty and postive buzz. Let it ride."
Just making sure they can go second so they can undercut MS by again. Their original slot was probably taken
AegonSnake for this post and Tonky for the one they quoted:
gotta notify the esa, can't just tell them at the last minute. Not to mention telling the press not to spend money on travel is a nice thing to do.
