I think a lot of PS5 owners will be surprised by this game because they skipped it last generation and discover it now for free. My favorite game.

It makes me laugh as Bluepoint is just "ahahaha no need thinking about stuff and pushing buttons SSD go brrrr".

Too early to tell with a game that honestly a glorified backwards compatible title. The Unreal PS5 demo is the best representative of what's possible.
The real benefit of such fast SSD and I/O is the potential effects on RAM. When you can load assets into RAM so quickly, it can change how you utilize RAM. You can have more assets for the GPU to draw and those assets can be higher quality without worrying about RAM size constraints since you can so quickly load in and out. First-party will be utilizing the hell out of this.

Got a shipping email from Amazon.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales has shipped
i hope you got PRIME. Vroom Vroom

Bluepoint saying that they increased the fidelity of physics/destruction compared to the PS3 system. Also added layers of destruction. You can break individual pots and pans. Pretty much everything is breakable. They spent a lot of time on this.
Twitch streaming is 1080p at most.
When I watch Demon's Souls on my 1080p TV I agree, but when I watch it on my 1440p PC monitor, it's amazing.
Watch at either 1440p or 4K to see the detail in this game.

Where it all began
Yup, the Geometry Transform Engine was the beginning. Official SCE docs say PS1's GTE is a high speed parallel processor that creates graphics data for the GPU, which is basically what PS5's 'Geometry Engine' is rumored to be/do for PS5's GPU.
Initially the GTE could only be programmed via high level libraries provided by SCE which traded high performance for ease of use; but once certain devs started tinkering with it at the low-level to extract greater performance, SCE decided to include the low-level info with the GTE's libraries so that more devs could do the same:
The follow-up to the GTE's functionality was Vector Unit 1 (VU1) which fed the Graphics Synthesizer (GS) in PS2....
VU1 was ultimately superseded by the six available SPUs in PS3 which were used to do geometry transformation in addition to processing parts of the geometry pipeline for the Reality Synthesizer (RSX)...
The switch from CELL to x86 saw the ~20 years old practice of using exotic high frequency cores on the CPU for geometry processing come to an end; and the practice of using common low frequency (relative to CPU clocks) cores on the GPU for geometry processing begin with the introduction of asynchronous compute...
Now it seems SIE has come back to a specialized hardware-based GE that offers low-level programmability (like the GTE of old), with a high degree of flexibility in terms of what aspects of the geometry pipeline it can offload from GPU CUs and process (similar to the SPUs of not so long ago) -- if the dev who contacted RGT is to be believed...

"For us the exciting thing was the combination of a formidable polygon rendering GPU with the special GTE coprocessor that accelerated 3D geometry and lighting."... "The GTE was very powerful once we figured out how to access it at the low-level."... "On the 3D programming side, we had to start from scratch. The first libraries shipped from Tokyo were too high level and so we had to do a little reverse engineering to get the maximum performance from the GTE." -- Dominic Maillinson
"I’m convinced that the purpose behind the libraries was simply to get games out the door months earlier than would otherwise be the case. They certainly didn’t provide any great barrier to people “poking around”. Keep in mind that the libraries weren’t encrypted or anything… any developer could extract all of the object modules from any library and disassemble them using the tools provided to them by Sony. And many developers did just that. In fact, so many developers had reverse engineered the way that the GTE coprocessor worked that Sony eventually decided to simply add the low-level info to the documentation." -- Mike Fulton
The follow-up to the GTE's functionality was Vector Unit 1 (VU1) which fed the Graphics Synthesizer (GS) in PS2....
VU1 was ultimately superseded by the six available SPUs in PS3 which were used to handle the geometry processing pipeline for the Reality Synthesizer (RSX)...
The switch from CELL to x86 saw geometry processing move from exotic high frequency cores on the CPU to common low frequency (relative to CPU clocks) cores on the GPU. Compute Units (CUs) became the new "geometry engines"...

Yup.

We all know we need die shots for this thread to end. It better hit 4000.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
My controller had more packaging than this; it had a thing that's kind of like a fast-food drink holder for the controller so it wasn't loose, also the controller itself was in a bag.Well the controller feels quiet good and heavy... the packaging is really cheap it's basically loose in it...

it was a guy that liked boxes, and when i say like, i mean a lot. A Fetish i think.
He had like thirty of them under his bed, used to take them out and sniff them at night etc.

Someone who deleted his account over an argument about packaging.
Basically he was trying to push how nice the packaging for the XSX is and other users told him it doesn't really matter. He had a meltdown since he wasn't able to convince anyone that fancy packaging is a selling point.

The package was sealed but no bag just loose as said before. It's OK it's not damaged also can't imagine it will be from being loose.

Where you got it from? Either the warehouse forgot to package it correctly or it’s a return open box item. No idea.

Local game store just arrived today. I guess they forgot it. But it was not opened before.
Sounds like they opened it to check it out then resealed and forgot to put it back in the bag.
I would return it for another one. Im very picky about things like that. I payed for a brand new product, I want everything in intact.

The package is difference in each region.
My PS4 had way less what I can say protection stuffs inside the box than the american one.
The box and pack were made in Manaus (the console itself was imported).
Well at least it has all the items to works fine.

You can trust me on this the owner of the store is my friend. Also I closed the box again no way you can open it and let it look like new again. Wasn't opened. The controller also was not touched before at least I would assume it.

we know anything about tempest??
Why Tempest is not mencioned?? is not active in DS?
i have a lot expectatives about Tempest
John asks Gavin if they took advantage of the Tempest engine around the 43 min mark.
"that new tempest audio engine, that's an incredible 360 degree sphere that surrounds you, it means we can add a bunch of new sounds into the game to bring those levels alive. You can really feel the world has come alive now....You can feel Boletarian spies creep up behind you... But for me the thing that freaks me out every time, when I get shot by an arrow I can hear it coming and I physically move my body from one side to the other."
This might be part of the reason Valhalla looks so bland to me, both the world and combat.
Mine has said "preparing order" for the last few days

We're not hitting 4,000 pages or 200,000 posts by tomorrow, so we have failed.
On another note, Next Generation begins tomorrow or Next Generation begins when Sony says so.
You and i are staying up all night shit spamming each other, we will succeed.
