Now there are 20 Titles for PS Plus Collection (was 18 when it was announced)

I believe Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy and COD: Black Ops III are the new additions.

well spotted, incredible deal if you missed current gen

Keep your Elder Scrolls, Starfield, Fallout..... we have Bugsnax day one!

 

[kyliethicc]

Sony added Crash Trilogy to PS Plus collection. Cool cool

 

[aclar00]

30 minutes to go!

Hey Dan. will Paul have a video out today regarding the event?

 

[Nikana]

Yea, i got what he wanted to say, its just that he seems to have mistakenly said playable on Xbox One instead of Series S/X

Hey Dan. will Paul have a video out today regarding the event?

No its not a mistake. Hes saying everything that was playable on xbox one is also playable on Series X/S.

The EU is not a single monolithic entity where all countries have the same laws. The EU WTD is a directive and, AFAIK, some directives need to be ratified by local working laws by the respective governmnets, and a lot of them are actually optional.

Working Conditions

ec.europa.eu

To me it seems like CD Project can leverage this

Poland: Working time flexibility

The Polish labour law specifies that working time may not exceed 8 hours in a 24-hour period and an average of 40 hours in an average five-day working week in

that's already 80k people waiting on the youtube link for AMD showcase the scope has widely change for AMD in recent years!

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

sircaw you know what to do what time it is for.....hit it mr music fish

 

[Three Jackdaws]

Hey Dan. will Paul have a video out today regarding the event?

Yeah he'll have to, he's made several leaks about the upcoming AMD GPU's so we'll need to see if he's right, although I don't think he'll be live streaming the event or anything.

 

[Insane Metal]

sircaw rejoice!!!

So, you guys maybe can help me with this cause my English comprehension is not that good.

Psn store is going to be unified after ps5 launches?
I ask this because I want it to know if I only going to have access to the psplus collection thru the ps5 store.

Can I download all this games in my ps4?

The same goes to bugsnax or destruction allstar, when it go to ps plus, I need a ps5 to added into my library?

 

[WelshBluebird]

I’m surprised that the PS2 made less money than the PS1. How did that happen? According to this, Sony’s gaming division made barely any money in 2005, a full year before the launch of the PS3! Is it because of the launch of the PSP?

It’s kind of weird that Sony’s profits already peaked in 2002 during that generation, and then quickly plummeted in the years afterward. Not what one would expect from the most successful console of all time. Financially, it seems the PS1 was actually the more successful endeavor.

Its worth remembering the nature of console cycles.
At least in the past, sales tended to peak mid gen (start of the gen prices are still high, end of gen everyone either has one or is waiting for next gen), and then you also have the R&D and production costs of next gen that I imagine must peak right at the end of the generation before a new console is going to be released.
Digital sales and subscriptions (along with COVID and other things) have made the end of the PS4 gen look a bit different mind you!

In terms of the PS1 - I wonder how much of that has to do with the fact Sony were treading into uncharted (no pun intended!) territory and probably didn't commit as much R&D etc budget to PS1 incase it flopped. Don't have evidence for that - and don't have time to go through the numbers to work of it its true or not. Of course Sony did spend a large amount on the PS1 in terms of getting devs, in terms of marketing etc. But I'd expect that to be dwarfed by what they've spend on consoles since.

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

BUGSNAX HIVE WHERE YA AT!

Such a weird ass game that I wouldn't have purchased normally, but since it is free I will definitely give it a try now!

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Holy fuckballs... AMD wins today................. :O

 

[Elias]

Yep, the PS5 does not have VRS or mesh shaders. Looks like MS got the full fat RDNA 2

 

[Gudji]

Yep, the PS5 does not have VRS or mesh shaders. Looks like MS got the full fat RDNA 2

Keep dreaming.

 

[Elias]

Keep dreaming.

I'll stop "dreaming" when Sony confirms VRS and mesh shaders as hardware features in the PS5.

 

[Entroyp]

Yep, the PS5 does not have VRS or mesh shaders. Looks like MS got the full fat RDNA 2

Are we sure Xbox is RDNA 2? Those clocks are very telling

 

[Gudji]

Okay, guess you'll just have to eat crow in a couple of weeks.

 

[RookX22]

I'll stop "dreaming" when Sony confirms VRS and mesh shaders as hardware features in the PS5.

Is that why the Xbox is clocked lower then the 6800xt?

More tales from your ass

 

[RookX22]

649$ holy sneakers I will stick with my series x packaging tyvm.

 

[SolidSlug]

well spotted, incredible deal if you missed current gen

That is actually exciting. I missed several of these games.

 

[xacto]

So basically a big RIP to the 3090?

 

[duhmetree]

So much for getting clarity on AMD and consoles

 

[Elias]

Is that why the Xbox is clocked lower then the 6800xt?

Overclocking isn't a system feature.

 

[Killer Sakoman]

AMD just destroyed Nvidia

 

[Nikana]

Just stop.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Lol... compare apples to apples please.

Nvidia is selling worse performance at higher price and much higher power usage. Today AMD just knocked a few teeth off Nvidia

 

[Bladed Thesis]

AMD just destroyed Nvidia

Yeah, and Nvidia being unable to fulfill demand might actually bite them back hard.

Now they're left with tons of customers who couldn't buy now seeing a better deal. Massive mistake on their part being unable to fulfill demand and also being caught out now.

 

[carloseduardocd]

128MB cache? WTF

They want to minimize a lot bottlenecks in GPU access data.

 

[RookX22]

Lol... compare apples to apples please.

Oh I know I was just being a smart ass. I will probably get it or the 6800 to go with my 10700k. Waiting on real world benchmarks and availability.

 

[jose4gg]

Now the most important thing, do both or any of the next-gen consoles have Infinite Cache?

 

[Zathalus]

Is that why the Xbox is clocked lower then the 6800xt?

It's clocked a bit higher than the normal 6800. AMD confirmed the boost frequencies cannot be held during normal gaming and is only achievable running a bursty workload. Game clock is the typical frequency during normal gaming applications.

 

[Gudji]

Cards should be cheaper imo. While I think that what they showed so far looks great, people will still go with nvidia because it's a brand they trust more. Also AMD doesn't have their own DLSS yet and things are a bit unclear regarding ray tracing performance.

Now the most important thing, do both or any of the next-gen consoles have Infinite Cache?

I guess that's something we won't know for a while, NDAs, etc.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Insane Metal]

Now the most important thing, do both or any of the next-gen consoles have Infinite Cache?

Since XSX has a 320bit memory config I don't think it needs it.

PS5 probably does though on 256 bit.

 

[sircaw]

Yer but at least now Sony can probably talk about it now with this reveal out of the way.

 

[GermanZepp]

Ignored

The first mistake was sticking with Intel though... If Nvidia just got roughed up today, Intel is in a coma after the beating they are taking from Ryzen

But yeah... let's hope we have good availability on these cpus and gpus

 

[Andodalf]

Guys I though today was when we'd learn that Sony invented RDNA 2 and had so much exclusive tech that was going to blow everyone out of the water? What happened?

Well I have a ryzen 1600 and a 2700 still do, but my friend gave me a hell of a deal when the 10700k first came out and couldn't pass it up.

 

[TrippleA345]

Infinite Cache is more than very interesting.
The consoles probably also have infinite cache. the only question is how much.

 

[EliteClarity]

Huzzah!

 

[Metroiddarks]

This presentation of RDNA 2

 

[MasterCornholio]

Ask Sony about that.
