Sony commits to a global launch for PS5 this year. Jim Ryan says "It's time to give fans something that can only be enjoyed on Playstation 5"
- Thread starter Glimpse_Dog
- Start date
It's "for a while". We don't know exactly when the first XSX only game from Microsoft will arrive. Hellblade 2 surely isn't a launch title. So it might be the end of 2021 or even 2022. There won't be next-gen only games from MS at launch. And that is something that hampers the hype for many who want a true next-gen experience. Of course, it remains to be seen how good something like Halo Infinite holds up to Sony launch games. Maybe we will see some crazy improvements in Halo over the Xbox One version. But they won't be able to fully utilize the new SSD at least.
The developers of Sony first party will have specs years in advance. This game engine developer that even worked at EA got some specs years ago like he says in this video.
Sony have always been about generation and there is a reason they have not talked about any new AAA game since 2017 and that is because they started to develop all games to PS5 even before that and there is not a single thing pointing to projects being like you claim "moved" from PS4 to PS5.
Game developers don't demand the exact specs or need development kits to start producing games especially since the first years are more about creating story, assets gameplay and then you scale up at the latter stages with the actual production of the game. That the PS5 is also an X86 system build around shared memory and AMD products also helps and this gen was probably the easiest to get the most out of their system for Sony ever. Basically there is no reason to suspect they won't already be able to produce a "real" next gen game at launch.
Certainly will uppgrades to their SDK and other tools and techniques make even more impressive games available later but I don't question for one second that Sony going all in on next gen like both Cerny and Jim says mean anything other than games build to take advantage of every bit of new hardware available when they claim that.
We joke about that old quote, but this time it really does apply. Nobody has really shown anything mindblowingly next-gen, and Sony is about to drop the motherlode. Minus the VR stuff, I'm expecting an E3 2016 impact crater from Sony here. I don't think they've announced a single AAA exclusive since 2017. Several WWS haven't not released a game since 2017. Ryan saying that are going to give us a "jolt" with this presentation. Hype from those in the know.
Your statement was made as if Xbox had never communicated an endpoint to their first party cross gen period, meaning it would go on indefinitely. Then in your response you posted the link to the Matt Booty quote stating cross-gen would last "one or two years" (as of Nov 2019) showing you had awareness that Xbox First Party would not be cross gen indefinitely and had already "stated otherwise". It appears as if you are commenting in bad faith.
Yeah they are in a great position, the brand is stronger than ever.
I think they'll show a lot of good things ^^
Yeah you did. You are arguing in bad faith.
I'm sorry that got misinterpreted. I never meant indefinitely. It was meant to read exactly what Greenberg meant, which was during that first year launch window to two years. That's why I said "until stated otherwise". Because it literally has not been stated otherwise outside of the Hellblade II trailer.
Sony gets it or as some people like to call it "Sony's Lucky".
Unless we are referring to two different quotes then no it was about it being always online.
I don't understand. They're not in the same position as Microsoft. Do you expect Nintendo to also release their exclusives on PC?
Microsoft isn't your friend. They do what they do because it makes business sense to them to do so.
Jimbo: Fuck em ps4 players.
I don't even care. More reasons to buy PS5 lol. Take advantage of PS5 too.
oh nice, I have to have a CT scan at 1:30 that afternoon (eastern) so this gives me something to look forward to after at least
Guess I'm wrong lol. You could've stopped at 2 comments. I get it. Thanks for correcting me
Sony seem to be keen on migrating to Azure Cloud services, but they can host those on AWS, Alibaba, Google Cloud or on their own DCs as long as we get to enjoy PS5 games on any devices via PSNow.
What exactly are you expecting? I hope not a 1:1 Game Pass equivalent or you will be disappointed.
You might see a common server for both Xbox and PS games. In sony's recent update on discussions with MS on cloud game streaming, at their corporate strategy day, among other things discussions on 'chipsets' were mentioned. A common server would make the world of sense.
Why are PC players entitled to Sony 1st party exclusives. Does not make business sense.
i rather take timed exclusive than forever exclusive but that just me. only first-party games should be full exclusives
Well that already exists. I'm sure they will introduce PS5 games. Wouldn't make sense not to.
I wish, but no. Silent Hill yes.
It isn't damage control as much as he is re-stating what has already been said by Microsoft.
lol
This makes it look like thet are scared. Should have chosen better words cause they can do better than that.
Sony better show and prove.
they are the only dev/publisher making this stance so their games better show a generational difference compared to all other games. Otherwise this is just marketing talk to force people to upgrade hardware.
