What I actually said on Kotaku Splitscreen about the PlayStation 5's specs

I'm not sure the full context here is that much different than the first thread, but glad you could convey the message in your own words.
Have you heard any other concrete examples for SSD leverage outside of open world games?
What is threshold I/O bandwidth needed to support this new development paradigm you allude to without specifics.

Man, my whole view of this whole thing is that the Xbox is put all of it's stats in strength, force, magic and mana while the PS5 put a great amount of their stats there but then put the rest in speed, intelligence, support and unique skills.
Both still dope, just different ways of fighting a battle.
I'm getting both day one.

Thanks for this. Sony really dropped the ball on showing the advantages of this console, and now the consequences are reverberating through this forum and many other places.
I bowed out after the first couple of pages so I must've missed the bulk of that.
Haha this is so true. I didn't even bother reading the thread because I wanted to heae the whole interview first. Glad to see I didn't waste my time with the old thread
It is a real shame that you even had to make a thread like this. It reflects so poorly on this toxic community. Keep on keepin on, Jason. Best in the biz!
Insomniac open world Dr Strange game where fast traveling lets you open a portal wherever you want on the map, see what's on the other side, and instantly step through.
Fantastic -- Now I'm even more excited when the consumer-focused reveal happens!
Nice~
And also very sad.

You know, I want to laugh at all this talk of the PS5 SSD being a game changer but then as a long time PC gamer I cant think of a more significant upgrade I have made than jumping from HDD to SSD. And what's crazy is not even PC gaming has been using SSD speeds to its full potential so it will be very interesting to see what happens when it is such priority as the PS5 is making it.
Interesting write-up.
Seems like it'd be a good idea for Sony to get developers talking front and centre talking about how the SSD is going to change how games are developed for the better, and relatively soon if they don't want people going on and on about teraflops for a couple of months.
For myself, I'm sure the first party developers are going to be singing praises about what they can now do with the hardware, but I'm curious how third parties will tackle the lowest common denominator problem, for lack of a better phrase. Will PS5 games be compromised by the Series X having a slower SSD?

Just personally I was really annoyed with the other thread because there was no transcript or even a timestamp provided. I was listening to the podcast on 1.5x speed to try to get a better understanding of the full context, just to know how to approach it from a moderation standpoint.
It might not be as front loaded as some people might like but it's a bit early to burn Sony's marketing department at the stake. It's the 2-3 months before release and the sales performance at launch that will be final score on marketing, not how exciting the first inning was.
I found this part super interesting...I wonder what they have that they can't talk about right now. Intriguing.
lol the exact opposite happened. Idiots started questioning Jason's integrity and started calling him a sony shill
OP
OP
Some of the technical specifics are over my head, but one example is the APIs. I've talked to some engineers who aren't huge fans of Microsoft's DirectX and have grown much fonder of Sony's approach over the past few years, with PS4 and now even more so with PS5.
The title of the other thread was bad but the OP content seems to convey the same thing. That there's a secret we should expect hasn't been public but will make the head-to-head comparisons much less likely to miss parity than we think. We aren't being given much of an explanation from multiplatform devs if they think this, but here we are being told something unknown will change our minds about what we see in the specs and how specs have typically correlated with which system does better in multiplatform releases.
All 3 companies are in a good place by the looks of it, there must be some natural law that makes the arguments dafter as a result.
Thanks for elaborating Jason, everyone needs to calm down both machines are freaking awesome. The misinformation doesn't help anyone.
Keep up the awesome work Jason. The next-gen discourse here these days has been truly awful, people insulting journalists and legit leakers in a search to find the right combination of words to mantain their own narrative. Truly atrocious.
Launch games will mostly be cross platform in the first year or so anyway, thus designed around lowest common denominators (eg traditional hard drives), so maybe we won't start to see the full benefits till a year or so in, or with next gen exclusives only.
I'm guessing the PS5 SDK will make it easy for third parties to leverage this SSD even on their multiplat games, right? Seems like a waste if it's only for Sony FP.
Oh boy lol.
jschreier you are a treasure sir. Too often threads like that get out of hand with misinformation, really cool to see the actual human who spoke those words come in and slap some sense into the forum.
How long before podcasts come with easily accessible text transcripts available so users could more easily call out lazy OPs? Or is that starting to defeat the point of a spoken podcast?

I mean , the cats out of the bag now, no point in continuing to be silent. Give us more details.
I'm impressed we haven't had someone in this thread say "it was just a GDC talk you're all overreacting" yet (unless I missed it). But on topic - thanks for making this thread jschreier, I found your transcript very reasonable and informative. I agree with your points re: the way Sony is handling this. At the end of the day, I'll more than likely end up owning both platforms. But Watching the way Sony is handling this thus far is kinda nuts.
I think both consoles having next-gen SSDs is a game-changer. I think the jury is very much out on whether the PS5's SSD being even faster is one.
I read one that said, "Sony unveils PS5, may require you to send a picture of your ear."
Did the marketing department even get a look in on that decision?
It felt like anti-marketing to me.
Good on you for not letting that bullshit fly. This is going to be one hell of an upcoming console gen.
