Support NeoGAF

[Hawking Radiation]

Just wow, Xbox must have known that Sony is revealing tomorrow, and tried desperately to steal the hype trophy Wither Xbox is weaker or more powerful, it'll be forgotten tomorrow.

I fucking miss WIll Ferrel. He needs to get back to making more movies.

Xbox division right now...

I love this forum.

I hope no Xbox fans take any offence to this. Its all in good fun. We should do more of this for both MS and Sony.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I actually HATE microsoft as a whole, but I want Xbox to stick around to push Sony to keep working great. The reason why is the pile of crap most PC users had throughout the years with crappy OS. But that's not our subject here, just to clear out my stance. I would love a Chrome OS in a more mature stage to replace Windows for example.

You hate them because of Windows? Overall MS supports PC more than anyone else when it comes to gaming, games are even going to steam now.

MS had hiccups, but right now they are the most consumer friendly platform out there today.

 

[Old Empire.]

Journalists are on 24 hours notice to write PS5 articles for tomorrow. He seems confident the Xbox has the edge with power!

I have a powerful "gaming" PC (Radeon VII etc) but I never game on it, mostly general usage and as a workstation. Windows 10 is the first ever respectful OS from Microsoft, so it's a good start in the right direction. If the programs I use get supported on Ubunutu, I'll jump right away. PC still snaps like 1-2 times monthly, at least, although it's 100% optimized and 100% to the book of what's recommended by the motherboard creator, ASUS.

By the way, both consoles will "shit" on it in terms of gaming capabilities, which makes me happy. But I would rather pay twice the price of XSX for next GPU's than giving that money to them. I'm a proud Sony Pony

 

[Shin]

"Watch", so video form then and not a blog post.

 

[Self High Five]

nah they have been pretty confident throughout the whole thing

If anything, i would argue sony looks bad, they are #1 yet waited for their competition to go first.

Or they're #1, went with their own and timeline couldn't care less about #3.

That calm reaction from Sony is a clear sign that it will be higher than 9Tf.

I bet the person running that account doesn't even know what a TF is and just wanted clarify the tweet was about time.

 

[LittleBusters]

I can only get so erect.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

One ticket please!

Count me in also, but only a first class ticket will do!!

 

[UltimaKilo]

Not sure this is the best time, but ok!

Optical Computing & Volume Rendering here we come!

Who knows?
They probably also randomly posted all those clocks.

 

[NickFire]

I wonder if any news outlets have actual official details ready to discuss once an embargo lifts. Maybe late tonight or very early AM.

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

great
9am for 9TF

Yeah and 4TF for the UK version and 5TF for the EU version

GAF hype train

GAF >>>>>>>> era

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Man the timing sucks ASS. 3am here East Australia. I'll have to watch it when I wake up. Hopefully I'll find it on YouTube without other videos spoiling it for me. I'm not coming here until after I watch it.

That's the price of attending ahead of time.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Actual console power is almost completely irrelevant for sales. The perception of power matters a bit, but not nearly as much as price or branding. And it'll be even harder getting people to switch sides this time now we have full BC.

 

[Tarin02543]

Starts exactly when I end work. I get home in 10 minutes so hopefully I will still be able to devulge on all details.

 

[HonkingTonk]

I honestly hope the PS5 is as powerful as the Series X so the devs making multi-platform games won't be held back by one console or the other.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

The school where I work has decided to suspend classes starting tomorrow. Guess I'll have time to see the presentation! Hell yeah!

Hello, colleague! Teacher here

Here we've recorded 24 so far, 12 have recovered out of them so far (12 remaining). The government is taking it seriously with all schools closed since this week. Might cancel the whole semester as well.

Enjoy the reveal!

 

[Old Empire.]

With the world economy in freefall the consoles will likely be delayed till 2021 anyway.

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

I will try to keep my expectations tempered and well below the red. They'll most likely one-up Microsoft in one of the spec categories like RAM, GPU clock speed, or CPU core clock speed. I don't think they're going to have more teraflops, probably the same amount.

I'm more excited to see the controller and console design.

 

[Shizumapower]

Glad it's being revealed in the morning.

Credit Card is ready.

 

[Racer!]

YES!!

This warms the Sony fanboi in me

 

[GamerEDM]

here we go

Who cares about sales though? Hope they both make the best consoles they could make without it being too expensive.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Imagine if preorders open tomorrow...

My social distancing of the last five days or so goes out the window real quick.

 

[ShadowWolf712]

[jorgejjvr]

I mean, its true lol

they are pro consumer 100%. A gif means you cant debunk, so ill take it

 

[Fret Runner]

Just fucking around, don't shoot me.

 

[Duallusion]

You don't try to steal somebody's spotlight with a limp dick in your hand so I've no doubt Sony's delivering some juicy goods tomorrow.

 

[Sota4077]

Alright console warriors of both Microsoft and Sony! Make sure you are following your console fanboy insecurity protocol now that PS5 is going to be talked about! In case you've not been staying on top of things here is how you are supposed to argue.

If your console has more TF make sure you never shut up about it. Nothing else matters to you. TF's are king for your cause. No games even matter. This is critically important because odds are you have no clue in hell what a TeraFlop even is and that is fine. It is just a number and so long as the console that makes you feel secure has a bigger number you are golden!

Now--on the chance that your console has fewer TF's than the enemy your purchasing justification priorities are as follows:

1. CPU clock speed and number of cores. Again this is just a number but as long as your number is bigger you've got those precious bragging rights and most importantly self worth.
2. Hard Drive Size. It's all about those Terabytes of storage baby! If you're lucky your console of choice has a larger hard drive. Should that be the case you've just won the damn fanboy lottery my friends!
3. Form factor. It doesn't matter what the console even looks like--your console is better. Find something remotely close in the real world that resembles that filthy other console and mercilessly make fun of it for that. Series X is totes a refrigerator and if the PS5 sticks with a traditional look it totally is a 1990's VCR. There--gave you a freebee.
4. Whatever console you plan to buy has the best controller. Doesn't matter if Microsoft resurrects the Duke or Sony removes their thumbsticks. That controller is 10x better than the console you're not buying. Never forget that.
5. First party games. Loyalty matters and 1st party studios keep their lights only by you fighting in every Twitter post about how their first party titles are superior. You need not even buy the games that the beauty of it because everyone knows that Naughty Dog care way more about you being a pedantic prick on Twitter about their game to someone who prefers Gears Of War!
6. Lastly. And probably the most important one. The fanboys for the other consoles are thee worst. They're way worse than your console fanboys by far.

In closing--just have fun with it y'know? Its not considered being an asshole when you are fighting on behalf of a mega corporation that cares only about your money.

No cases here so far! They're just riding that corona hype train lol. In all seriousness, it is probably for the best

And yet, this whole gen they refused to lower the minimum print number, forcing a lot of fans of physical versions to get the ps4 or switch version.

bring on all the glories of 9.2 tflops

It's all in good fun, unless your name is TimDog or Heinrich, or Panasonic, or Meirl, or...

Anyway, lighten up.

Kinda funny Sony waited until MS showed everything until twitching
When MS dropped all that info a few days ago.
The PlayStation Division was like

I'm just messing, don't take me seriously

 

[Sosokrates]

Have you ever heard of the word "fun"? Have fun, mate. Don't take it seriously, and this is a "PS5" thread by the way.

If its a PS5 thread why bring the xbox into it? People must be pretty insecure that you have to bash the competition in a PS5 thread.

Yeah thats totally what it is. Its not that they were both going to reveal shit about specs to DEVELOPERS and the GAME DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE and that was supposed to be this week. Lol.

we still got more xbox one x and xcloud news in the 18th right?

 

[Xdrive05]

Ball is in Sony's court now. Showing their hardware last means they get to control the narrative around next-gen tech. So even if they come in with a weaker GPU, say, they get to frame it like "we have such and such advantage in the other areas", or maybe "Combined, full-speed GDDR6, the way it should be", or even "Custom RT silicon separate from RDNA2 means more than raw TF".

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

I actually HOPE the specs of both devices would be extremely similar
it doesn't matter if there is 1 TF of differences among them, the only thing that matter is that both must be in the 11-13 TF range, with Rdna2 , with HW Raytracing, with 8Core cpu Zen2, with SSD drive PCIe 4.0 interface and possibly a very close amount of ram like 14/18 GB
Because ... it's the ONLY way that a third party developer could optimize a next gen graphics engine for these consoles...
going for a very close hw a decent optimization process could happen FAST ( and then scale down res/ effect to match previous generation hw ) it's much more difficult to develop a game for multiple console that are very different as architecture or performance
