11 teraflops is back on the menu! What a roller-coaster of emotions

 

[SaturnSaturn]

I don't think that was ever in the cards, Sony's strength is also it's weakness.
They want you to re-buy older games, be it in it's original form, remaster or a remake.
BC doesn't bring cash into the drawer, they are seriously greedy like they are Africa and is starving.

thelastsword was peddeling absolute horseshit a while ago that sony had hired rpcs3 devs to work on ps3 emulator and made the whole thing gain traction over here. Utterly stupid, there will be no ps3 games available outside of ps now and remasters, it was never in the cards, you dont even have to be a inside to know it

 

[Spukc]

Agreed. Even if he does, Xbox Series X has a total of 25 Tf with all things considered.

damn 25?
insane


i wonder what they will announce actually,
in about 2 and a half hours

 

[HaveButOneLife]

This all a big disaster in the making. Really wonder who's running things right now

Lol they're a hardware company, I'm expecting more hype from Sony personally, but I want to keep my expectations low at the same time.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

This guys a jack ass he probably does know something but I hate to even give him attention. If I wasn't pro free speech I would vote me make this guy our Colin and ban his name.

I wish I could filter out his name across the entire internet so I never have to see it. Or at least ignore posts with his name in the title on here.

He's an attention seeking moon unit.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

He's not confirming PS5 is 9.2 Tflops guys, geeze. He's just saying don't expect PS5 to be more powerful than XBX, hence why he specifically said "Sony Fanboys".

Its most likely in the 11 Tflop range or so.

 

[demigod]

Hilarious, making a thread about him. I told you guys yesterday he was a douche, I still stand by it.

 

[SidViscous]

As much as I hate Jason, I suspect he knows what's going to be announced. I bet a lot of soy exchanged hands for this information.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

He says the FINAL NUMBER will be a disappointment.

11.9TF confirmed?

 

[Entroyp]

I see this Jason fellow is not very well liked around many places. What's the gist behind it?

 

[Arkam]

Everyone here realizes that half his "sources" are obtained via sending PMs to ReEra folks... who seem to know nothing. Back before teh Crystal cracked and we were all here that sneakfuck would PM any time I told a good story asking if he could make a story out of it. Not saying he is wrong here.... just the odds of him being right are always low.

 

[SaturnSaturn]

He is a spineless worm that would sell his mother for 50 twitter followers, thats pretty much the gist of it

 

[octiny]

Welp, there it is.

 

[kittoo]

maybe people have been sleeping, but all along i always thought Xbox was shooting to not lose the power battle this time around. I always thought ps5 would be a bit weaker, not that it matters much

the surprised would be ps5 being more porwerful

Yeah same here. Will be slightly disappointed if there is a significant difference as i dont want the lower one to be a bottleneck.
Will be interesting to see what innovative features are there.

 

[TGO]

If he knows he won't need to watch it then?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I see this Jason fellow is not very well liked around many places. What's the gist behind it?

For starters he works at Kotaku and ResetEra praise him as some kind of God.

That's the kind of people he deals with which says a lot.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

I wish I could filter out his name across the entire internet so I never have to see it. Or at least ignore posts with his name in the title on here.

He's an attention seeking moon unit.

He really is a whiny little bastard who probably got picked on his whole life. If I had to bet I would say this job is the first time he has ever gotten attention or power. Usually random people I never met dont push my buttons but this guy does.

 

[GeorgPrime]

LOL, so it begins.

Jason Schreier: "Don't hold me to this, console warriors, but I think both PS5 and Xbox Series X will be faster than a 2080."

Jason, our hero.

Jason Schreier: "Number of Tflops will make PS console warriors sad"

Jason, you have always been an idiot.

i dont care about some less Tflops. The PS 5 will have the better games and thats how they win

 

[Agnostic2020]

Welp, there it is.

There it is what? What did u see ?

 

[sendit]

He is a spineless worm that would sell his mother for 50 twitter followers, thats pretty much the gist of it

Which species of worm has a spine?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

So true. Of course never met him too but he pisses me off and so do his rabid fans.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

8 or 9 gigglyflops thens.

You know flops never mattered anyway....

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Which species of worm has a spine?

Spineless rat then!

 

[MMaRsu]

no full back compat = fail

 

[GeorgPrime]

If its true that Sony got the Silent Hill licence and is reviving P.T. with Kojima.... then they won the console war before it started.

Iam more interested in BC to the PS 4 than anything else

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

If its true that Sony got the Silent Hill licence and is reviving P.T. with Kojima.... then they won the console war before it started

Anything with Kojimbo is a huge NOPE for me. If that's the best Sony can do then I'm not buying a PS5.

Can't stand him.

 

[Diddy X]

Inb4 games looking better regardless of the console being weaker.

 

[JAMMA]

i dont care about some less Tflops. The PS 5 will have the better games and thats how they win

Even though we're less than a couple hours away........can you give any goodies on the tflop number?

 

[ph33rknot]

This cuck is such a whore, will suck off Xbox and Sony when it is needed to fund his dying page.

Stay consistent you ugly ass, deformed, elf scrotum looking mofo.

But tell us how you really feel

 

[DonJorginho]

But tell us how you really feel

Shut it Hedgehog, I will crush you with my 9.4TF Powered Fist.

 

[TwoDurans]

I see this Jason fellow is not very well liked around many places. What's the gist behind it?

His MO is to put whatever the fuck he wants online regardless of truth or what kind of damage it might cause to companies he's reporting on. When people make fun of game bloggers saying that they're not journalists it's because of him. He lacks integrity and will do anything for attention. He's the reason Kotaku is blacklisted from many publishers and developers, which is why his current driving force is this horseshit "people are dying to make you games" because he knows that there are tons of people who will read a story about that, and a book sadly.

But if you look at the way he's writing those stories, it's all about his access and not about their well being. If he actually gave a fuck he'd be a champion of game devs unionizing, but instead of including that in his articles he plugs his own book. If people are pissed that game companies are profiting off of developer's killing themselves, they should be pissed that he is too.

 

[Arkam]

Even though we're less than a couple hours away........can you give any goodies on the tflop number?

I know very little. I have engineers I had to approve disclosure on last year. But since I dont need to know, I dont. The few tidbits I knew very early came out already. So now I am just eating popcorn and waiting like everyone else.

 

[Whitecrow]

My bet is that they wont give us TFLOPs number bc they are trying to max it out before release.

Also, Schreier only wants attention.

 

[Filippos]

He's not confirming PS5 is 9.2 Tflops guys, geeze. He's just saying don't expect PS5 to be more powerful than XBX, hence why he specifically said "Sony Fanboys".

Its most likely in the 11 Tflop range or so.

Yeah, he is just saying that the PS5 will be around the same TFLOPS level as Series X, so both at around 12 TFLOPs. Not like 15 TFLOPs for PS5 or so.

 

[TGO]

To be fair he is saying that it's his predictions, guess he being prepared to be disappointed.
But I don't how you can be disappointed by a number.
It really depends on what it translates to on screen.
I'm not gonna be disappointed by the number if everything they show is fantastic.
I expect it to be less but with advantages.
But we'll see.

 

[whyman]

The guy that blocks people for politely asking a question? Yeah I don't trust that little elf. It's later today. Ignore this failed "journalist".

He is one of the biggest snowflakes in media today. You ask him an honest question about something he says or point out he has incorrect information. BLOCKED

 

[Azelover]

I don't wanna be rude, but Sony knows how to do this.

Even if he is right in terms of some details. It's still all about the presentation. And, it's all about the software. There's a reason why they haven't shown anything yet. It takes a while to get everything ready.

I highly doubt people are gonna be disappointed. But, let's see...

 

[JLB]

You may or may not agree with his points of view, but Jason is definitely one of the best contemporary videogame journalists. And he is a trusted source as well.

 

[darkinstinct]

damn 25?
insane

in about 2 and a half hours

Actually ... XSX has up to 109.8 TF. It supports FP4 for machine learning. That's 8x the standard for gaming (FP32) plus 13 TF of pure raytracing hardware (not exactly, it would take the equivalent of 13 TF of GPU Compute to calculate the 380 billion rays per second).

 

[TwoDurans]

You may or may not agree with his points of view, but Jason is definitely one of the best contemporary videogame journalists. And he is a trusted source as well.

My issue is his attitude. It's a huge turnoff.

And I don't for one second believe he gives a shit about developers and crunch.

 

[GymWolf]

So this confirms the 9tf? Nobody cares apart from the warriors

Gimme next-gen with LOTS of games. This what matters to me

this narrative is utterly stupid.
i care about the power because i want my exclusive games in their best shape, it is that simple really.
if you think that horizon 2 is gonna be exactly the same with 9tf or with 12-13tf i have a rude awakening for you...
we already know that the games will come, like any other gen before this, power doesn't exclude having great games.

 

[Dabaus]

Lets be clear, Jason isnt throwing a wet blanket on hype, Sony is. They made the decision to make an under powered over priced lack of lack of backwards compatible console, not Jason. Hes just telling us the unfortunate news early,.

 

[JAMMA]

If Schreier hasn't blocked you on Twitter yet, you're most likely not on Twitter yet.

 

[Hideous Snake]

So if it end up less than XsX TFs you'll just not buy the console? Drop it, you'll buy it anyways and thats the point

 

[Filippos]

Lets be clear, Jason isnt throwing a wet blanket on hype, Sony is. They made the decision to make an under powered over priced lack of lack of backwards compatible console, not Jason. Hes just telling us the unfortunate news early,.

he just made predictions. He even said he doesnt know the tflops numbers. So, its not true yet.

 

[JLB]

My issue is his attitude. It's a huge turnoff.

And I don't for one second believe he gives a shit about developers and crunch.

I understand, and sometimes I feel the same when he merges his political views with his articles.
But the quality of his writing and the content he produces is undeniable. Blood Sweet and Pixels is one of the greatest videogame related books Ive read.

 

[GymWolf]

So if it end up less than XsX TFs you'll just not buy the console? Drop it, you'll buy it anyways and thats the point

of course i'm gonna buy the console, it was not my point to begin with.
but saying that i don't care about the power because i still buy the console is a lie and a stupid one...
more power is ALWAYS a good thing, if you can pay 500-600 euro there is no reason in the world to not have a beast console.
you said that only console warriors care for power and that is bullshit, more power means better performance for games or straight up better games in the case of cpu for example.

slow worms.

 

[LazyParrot]

Where do you stop, though? If PS5 is 12TF, would you still be pissed because Horizon 2 would be even better at 16TF? If not, why is 12 the magical number? Is it only because that's what Microsoft has?
