Most mics are mono. It's expected from the mic built-in into the controller. Stereo is not really needed for its purpose.

But what if I want to make ASMR videos using my PS5 controller as a microphone where I whisper lovingly into the left and right channels while tapping on pog containers??

 

[Stuart360]

To me, it sounds like he's talking about no direct game comparisons or not direct loading times comparisons, etc.
He's probably talking about some unannounced features. Are these features software of hardware related? well, we don't know but that's my take on their statements.

Features we dont know about, thats the only thing it could be really.

 

[ethomaz]

yikes, embarrassing for you here bud

(sorry, i am gonna do this to everyone that wasted my time)

Embarrassing for what? You can count it is public.

 

[duhmetree]

Since we don't have a dedicated technology thread, I'll post this here.



Damn. Intel is fucked. 14nm still.

that was the obvious result, no? You can only do so much before you just overload it with power.

Intel will be fine once they get their fab down and replace leadership. Maybe they should have been spending Billions on R&D instead of stock buy backs. Spent that money on your senior engineers instead of outsourcing and being 'diverse'.

Did you miss the tweet on the previous page?, the game was 1440p until a month ago.

 

[ethomaz]

I even replied to him lol

 

[Stuart360]

I even replied to him lol

Well then the game was 1440p when DF analyzed the video. I knew it would be that situation, they have obvioulsy upped the rez in the final code.

 

[farmerboy]

ArcaneNLSC you put the moz on us mate, walked into JB on Wed (lockdown in Melb finished the day before) an d they won't take a deposit for PS5, nor know when they'll have floorstock or when the next delivery of stock will happen.

We're in the fucking dark here. Not sure why they can't just keep taking preorders and fill those orders when they get stock.

 

[ethomaz]

Well then the game was 1440p when DF analyzed the video. I knew it would be that situation, they have obvioulsy upped the rez in the final code.

Nope.

Unless DF received a video that nobody had access... the public video didn’t show a rendering at 1440p but way higher.

 

[M_A_C]

Notice its the first video where Richard did not mention terraflops lol

The sniggers and smirks at the end of the video say there is more meaning to this than something trivial, they were almost biting their lips..

They (except Alex) are also suddenly very positive in all their PS5 coverage lately.

 

[Shmunter]

Physics are unaltered on the remake.

Being a remake, they could have improved these areas that don’t effect gameplay. Go all the way.

 

[duhmetree]

The textures did look high resolution when zoomed in. I don't know if it was 1440p or 2160p though.

Should give DF the benefit of the doubt... but war never changes... and it gets weird on here.

Has this been covered from Ubisoft's website?

Xbox Series X | S: The near-future London of Watch Dogs: Legion will fully benefit from the hardware accelerated raytracing of the new Xbox Series X | S; from Piccadilly Circus and its giant digital screens, to Camden High Street’s neon lights and holograms, the power of real-time ray traced reflections brings a never seen before level of realism to an urban playground. Early collaboration between Microsoft and the game teams allows the game to unlock the power of Xbox DirectStorage, meaning loading times have been massively reduced allowing for smoother world traversal and faster loading times than ever before. Upgrade from an Xbox One X copy of the game to the Xbox Series X | S* version with Xbox’s Smart Delivery technology at no extra cost.

PlayStation 5: Ray tracing on PlayStation 5 will immerse players in a city full of digital screens, holograms, and neon lights, while players can also take advantage of the Tempest 3D Audio engine to bring London to life by hearing every passing car, talking pedestrian, or drone flying overhead. Thanks to the ultra-high speed SSD, loading times will be dramatically reduced, allowing for even quicker fast-travel and seamless high-speed drives across London. Adaptive triggers enable players to enjoy hand-tuned responses, elevating the visceral feeling of high-tension moments. And lastly, you can upgrade your PlayStation 4 copy of the game to the PlayStation 5** version at no additional cost.

So the surprising things could be Thermals, noise and maybe bc, i can't think of many other things.

The surprising thing would be that certain third party games run better on the PS5. Let me explain why I assume that:

Remember when the PS3 was more powerful on paper, compared to the X360? Games were better on the X360, because it was more easy to develop for. On the other hand, it was hard to optimize games for the cell tech used in the PS3.

Now a lot of insiders have said how happy devs are to work for the PS5. If third party devs are able to optimize their games much easier, some games might even have the edge on the PS5, compared to the Series X.

yer but they said no game comparisons, or that was not what the difference where.

My list is kinda,

thermals,
noise
controller battery
BC

Still trying to think of more.

 

[Shmunter]

oh man that Tease at the end regarding platform comparisons. there will be surprises... hmmmm

Place your bets...

PS5 has better iq than XsX?
XsX loads faster than PS5?
PS5 and XsX run in SLI together?

 

[MasterCornholio]

I love how this Squidward looking dude looks funny on the PS3 version but terrifying on the PS5.

Hey OsirisBlack is he related to you?

 

[cragarmi]

the digital found one, they said it was very close

Sorry I thought you were takin' bout Bugsnax Tbh I don't know, but if I were you I'd save some chocolate cake for Wednesday!

 

[MasterCornholio]

Here are my expectations.

I/O: PS5

Framerate + Resolution : XSX

 

[Classicrockfan]

I’m a wuss when it comes to demon souls type games,but I might have to put the big boy pants and give another try cause it looks too good to miss.

 

[Stuart360]

Nope.

Unless DF received a video that nobody had access... the public video didn’t show a rendering at 1440p but way higher.

Well who's the guy in the tweet?, i thought it was one of the devs?

 

[Piggoro]

Physics are unaltered on the remake.

I watched a side-by-side comparison and on PS3 the rock breaks into pieces that stay on the stair. It doesn't disappear.

 

[gooner4life_uk]

What are we looking at here?

Well I'm hoping it's just different people writing the marketing copy, because the PS5 version doesnt mention RT reflections or hardware acceleration of RT but it specifically does for The Series X & S.

 

[ethomaz]

Well who's the guy in the tweet?, i thought it was one of the devs?

A modder that worked on fan made BB on PC using Sekiro.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Well I'm hoping it's just different people writing the marketing copy, because the PS5 version doesnt mention RT reflections or hardware acceleration of RT but it specifically does for The Series X & S.

The PS5 was already confirmed to have hardware based RT. Its a feature of those RDNA2 CUs.

 

[Killer Sakoman]

it was just confirmed at that stage it was running 1440p, and BO showed that the video was 4K? what a magician... now kindly STFU period

If that STFU to me, then deal with Mod of War: Remastered . I don't accept insults.
I didn't even attack you in person. I was just arguing.

 

[Gudji]

Well I'm hoping it's just different people writing the marketing copy, because the PS5 version doesnt mention RT reflections or hardware acceleration of RT but it specifically does for The Series X & S.

Both consoles have hardware RT we've known this for months. Only one is using it extensively though.

 

[Stuart360]

Oh its him is it. Well maybe you're right then.

Better Quick Resume on PS5 maybe?

I thought he was being sarcastic, to get around the NDA. They were teasing other stuff throughout the video, stuff like „can’t confirm if it’s a HDMI 2.1 cable right now, but it works great on my LG CX“ or referring to the cooling solution etc. But we will see next week what the surprise is all about, hopefully.

 

[Eternal21]

Craig wouldn't be possible without RT.

 

[gooner4life_uk]

Yeah but why specify hardware accelerated ray tracing for Xbox? and specify real time RT Reflections but just say 'ray tracing on ps5 will immerse players blah.

You could very well be correct, its going to be great seeing the information finally coming out in the next 7 days or so, we are so close now.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Yeah but why specify hardware accelerated ray tracing for Xbox? and specify real time RT Reflections but just say 'ray tracing on ps5 will immerse players blah.

Just the usual different wording. We went through this with the framerate debacle

Watch Dogs is only doing raytraced refelctions. So when they say PS5 is doing raytracing they can't be refering to anything else but reflections

 

[Shmunter]

What are we looking at here?

Series S has raytracing? Can’t imagine it being upto the standard of a 12tf GPU. Would be shit if the XsX just runs a dumbed down RT solution uprezzed from S. this is the risk with the scenario.

 

[Lysandros]

at the end they mention platform comparison surprises, i wonder what that means? maybe not much difference at all in 3rd party games? either way looking forward to both now, this gen is gonna be great!

'Not much difference at all in 3rd party games' woudn't really be a suprise considering the specs, but if PS5 outperforms XSX to a 'significant' degree, yes that would be a little suprising (not for me personaly).

 

[duhmetree]

Consoles doing Ray Tracing better than PC. Surprise

 

[Stuart360]

Yeah but why specify hardware accelerated ray tracing for Xbox? and specify real time RT Reflections but just say 'ray tracing on ps5 will immerse players blah.

Probably different people writing different parts of the press release. Lets not go there again.

 

[gooner4life_uk]

Very good point, i expected it was just the case somebody else wrote the marketing spiel for the PS5 version, but wondered if it had been covered.

 

[Stuart360]

How do you work that one out?

 

[vkbest]

I watched a side-by-side comparison and on PS3 the rock breaks into pieces that stay on the stair. It doesn't disappear.

im Talking about physics, they are unaltered, confirmed by developers. That you are describing can be a bug, or sacrifice for performance or any thing

 

[Shmunter]

Very good point, i expected it was just the case somebody else wrote the marketing spiel for the PS5 version, but wondered if it had been covered.

It’s a matter of not making it sound silly by cutting and pasting the sentence above.

I can confirm it is a 2.1 cable.

Tick Tok?

In the time since first posting the blog, Ubisoft has revised the wording to make clear that the PS5 iteration of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla can indeed perform at 4K at 60 frames per second. In a follow-up message sent to us by a PR representative at the publisher, this notion was also made clear once again. “I can confirm that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla runs at 4K at 60 fps on PS5 (upscaled 4K),” we were told.

Don't Worry, Assassin's Creed Valhalla Runs at 4K/60fps on Both PS5 and Xbox Series X

Assassin's Creed Valhalla has been confirmed to hit the same benchmarks across both Xbox Series X and PS5, although the latter console is said to be upscaled 4K.

[mitchman]

They (except Alex) are also suddenly very positive in all their PS5 coverage lately.

They can't afford to alienate the largest group of console gamers if they want to grow the channel.

 

[duhmetree]

How do you work that one out?

Just thinking of what would be surprising. To me, it's that or 3rd party PS5 runs better.

Or both can have 'surprise' tech.

www.dualshockers.com

It only runs at 1440p/60 on PC with a 2080 Super and Ryzen 5 3600X that's considerably more powerful than both consoles, Series X and PS5 will both be upscaled 4k@60 for sure.
