PS5 at launch is honestly much more exciting than PS4 was, PS5 has BC while PS4 didn't, and the launch games on PS5 are much more exciting than those were on PS4 at launch (imo at least).

Being able to play all PS4 games at 60 fps is in itself a huge deal, add to this awesome exclusives like DmS, Spiderman and others, i think it's easily one of the best launch console when it comes to games, if not the best.
all ps4 games in 60fps??? what you on about? where did you see that?

Yes - I agree.

I can't believe that in the first 12 months of the PS5's lifespan, we're getting Spider-Man, Souls, God of War, Resident Evil and Horizon? This has amaze-balls written all over it.

Yeah, honestly PS4 started flying until Q1 2015 with Bloodborne, TW3, MKX and cie (there were cool games before, but nothing crazy for my taste lol), but with PS5 it seems starting right away. Demon Souls, Spiderman, R&C, HZFW, GOWR and much more. Add this the BC games, with PS4 i was still playing quite a lot PS3 and WiiU (mostly for Bayonetta 2) until fall 2014/early 2015, that's pretty cool that you can do it all (play old and new) with one and same console ^^

First breaking news

Microsoft best feature, quick resume shows itself for the three hundredth time, By far the consoles best feature, it even has the latest Doom down to an eye water six-second loading screen. Impressive stuff indeed.

Microsoft sends out hundreds of consoles to shills, trusted youtube viewers that they can count on. Within days hundreds of positive reviews come flooding back, when asked are they going to return the consoles to Microsoft, the independent trustworthy YouTubers respond with "Hell no its a gift"

Microsoft releases over 200 backward compatible games many will excellent improvements. If you like Retro games the new Xbox is for you.

Sonys console breakdown hits record viewing numbers with over 2.5 million views in the first hour. No one understands a fucking word of what was said.

Astroboy and god fall demos show near-instant loading.


A new Terminator film is believed to be in the making with Mark Cerny coming in as the T10.3 series. Rumors of a T12 variant The Phil-me-later is believed to be the villain.

Sony's new heat sink is revealed, global warming has been solved.

Neogaf poll declares that most people think the ps5 is one hell of an ugly console
Any other poll suggests most people in America want to buy a ps5.
People in America apparently like big ugly things.

Led guy goes all John conner in trying to fight the neogaf moderation team(skynet) and fails.

In other breaking news, hundreds of Sony ponies find themselves banned for the most of trivial reasons,

@Bill O'Rights denies showing any favoritism towards Microsoft fanboys. Later that night a private video of Bills girlfriend can be seen putting 7 xbox consoles into storage.

@Larryfox asks for the Spec thread to be closed for the 500th time in two days. Asked on why he wants a thread shut down he never posts in, it met with the answer Cos its time.

The fire emote on neogaf is being considered offensive.

@X-Fighter contact's Merriam webster dictionary asking that the following words be banned as they are found to be offensive. Hot, warm, lukewarm, mild, tepid, sunny, sweltering, heated, inferno, boiling, roasting, VOLCANO,


Humor award of the month goes to @cormack12 who says that humor and banter have no place on Neogaf, anyone that participates in this is running the website into the ground and people that do it should take a self-ban. Later that day he is seen taking a child's happy meal of him at his local MacDonalds

sircaw sircaw is nearing the 20 000 score threshold, he has not posted a meme or a gif yet. special thanks to @Doncabesa for giving me over half those points with trigger emotes. I love you dude :messenger_heart:


Tune in next week, probably not, to see week threes news.

sircaw sircaw is on his very last warning, will people take the above post for what it is, some fun and banter or will the twitch in @Bill O'Rights eye upon seeing me get the better of him.

Have a great Day everyone.
I see you've conveniently left out my sick-hot-burns on you.

Someone reminded me this yesterday in another thread, but Cerny had talked about testing 100 most popular PS5 games with boost mode and the results he said were fantastic. So it does seem that the 60 fps toggle is an OS level toggle that does not need a patch. Just enable boost mode and games should get the boost speeds with a 60 fps toggle.

The toggle Suckerpunch mentioned is in the game itself, ,which is written to detect boost mode.

So unless a game has unlocked framerates, it would need to do the same to have a 60FPS mode.

But games without framerate locks should get a boost, as I think you are right, I do agree it sounds like you turn it on at the OS level and then the game either detects it or doesn't.

That's how I read it at least.

Too early to tell.

GoT is a game launched after July 8th that are required to be tested and patched to work on PS5 BC Boost Mode.
It was mandatory to be shipped ready for PS5 BC Boost Mode.

Who is this guy? What he said does make sense. Can anyone with better technical knowledge clarify what he said??
I don't think I'm "the guy", but I believe I have a decent take on it (I've said this in a different thread). When your SSD and I/O is as fast as what's in the PS5, it literally changes how you utilize RAM. The amount of assets and the sheer quality of those assets can go up tremendously. Not to mention you no longer need to keep "cold" assets sitting in RAM just in case. What I mean by "cold" is stuff that the game needs in RAM pre-loaded because HDD isn't fast enough to fetch it when needed. Basically, you have more RAM available for more and prettier stuff as long as the GPU is fast enough to draw it. I'd also like to point out from Cerny's talk that he mentioned he wanted to stream in assets faster than the player could turn around. If that is the case, than you probably save on unnecessary GPU utilization too. Just my two cents here.

Just to people remember... that is the mandatory rule about games being shipped after July 13rd (I was using the 8th but it 13rd).


It is not the release date but the submission date (something around when the game goes GOLD).

yep. even if it needs a patch, the patch will be as simple as adding a toggle to detect it at the OS level. It wont be a full patch that requires devs to test and implement a 60 fps option. just add support to detect boost mode and let that do its thing.

i wonder if this means Cyberpunk will run at 60 fps in boost mode. crazy.

Cyberpunk devs themselves already said the game will ship with the PS5 BC Boost Mode enhancement.
But they will do a even better patch later to take fully advantage of the hardware as a PS5 game.

They didn't detailed the difference between the enhancement PS5 BC Boost Mode and the future patch.

The PS4 Pro version will likely be 1440p 30 fps or maybe lower. Since the BC boost mode is enabled, its possible that it will be 60 fps if Cerny has somehow managed to toggle the 60 fps option at the OS level.

Or they could just do a dynamic resolution / unlocked framerate option and just let the PS5 run the game at 4k 60 fps until the ray tracing features arrive next year.

Also, Australian voice actors are getting alot of work for PS5 launch :nougat_rofl:

The funny thing here is the PS4, slim and Pro all had the issue all gen of having a lot of power in too small a space resulting in too much noise and running quite hot (though heat never proved to be much of an issue)

So far it seems XSX runs nice and quiet but it will be interesting how long that lasts once dust builds up. Same with PS5, on paper it should be a huge improvement over PS4 but the real test will come after a few months use and dust build.

The other question there is also, once both consoles start to accumulate dust, which one is easier to clean.

I think they are both wrong here. there is nothing brilliant about the PS5's stand. It's just a stand.

And there is nothing wrong with having a screw holding a stand together. If you dont have a screwdriver in your house, your parents have failed you. This goes for both men and women.
 
Honestly they probably chose a metal screw because it would be more durable than a plastic clip.

You can do what manufacturers have been doing with monitor bases for decades, metal screw with a little metal handle that flips down when you aren't using it. Simple. Not that the screwdriver thing is a big deal. You'll need more tools than that for completing the room addition you'll need to have it in the house to begin with.

Im not usually on the whole i hate Polygon wagon, but that article was ridiculous... they try argue its brilliant design... its not.

If it was designed by Apple;
* it would snap on in both directions
* it wouldnt need a place to hide a screw
* it wouldnt need a cover to hide where the screw is hidden
* it wouldnt need a screw driver
* it wouldnt need a screw
* it wouldnt need a stand
