Why we all going to the bunker? Don't tell me this Foxy guy is credible.
I'm not buying Foxy's rumour. I have a friend who has a friend who works for Rockstar here in the U.K and is currently handling some of the code for their next GTA game and some of the security regulations in place to prevent any sort of leaks is ridiculous, he has literally zero info about the title itself. So I personally doubt a mediocre channel like Foxy would have any inside access to details about the game let alone any business deals made between Rockstar and Sony.
 
I think you protest to much, Wanna come clean on what you have been saying behind closed doors?

Spill the beans, you dirty rat :messenger_grinning:


:messenger_tears_of_joy:

Seriously, I've never reported anyone. Mods can confirm!

I did have some funny interactions with a Mod that I figured I'd get banned for but didn't, so, the mods might be a more tolerant group than people think.
 
Good track record doesn't excuse him for the way he was talking: first he said PS5 was performing much worse than XSX on every 3rd party game. Then he got pressured, and changed it to just RE8 struggling to run 1080p60 and justifying it with framerate stuttering on PS5 showcase trailer. In the end, he changed again to running in that state months ago and will be fine at release, even making 'an educated guess' that it will be upscaled 4k60 while XSX is true 4k60 just because tflops.

Looks like his bias is showing...
that's just someone with good contacts that wanted to share some information about something he learned from his friends, in a thread that was completely delusional about how "ms is doomed" etc and got some hundrends of fanatics yelling with pitch forks.
the devs that trusted him with this information could very well have some worries for potential trouble, since sony does have the marketing for this game.

since we are talking about the same guy that last week went out and explained in detail about the other capcom game, VF6 and what's going on with it, and how the director of the game got demoted/canned -and these were bold claims- only to be verified a week after,
it only takes a semi-functional brain to understand that he indeed has valid capcom info -eventhough his first comments were extending to out of capcom sources too.

this person doesn't want to cause problems for his friends, but it seems that most people commenting here are some kind of hotheads that take this as "backtracking because lie".

its sad when fanatic fools are the single reason that people with REAL inside info never share anything.
instead, these fools are more than happy to praise their favorite faux-insider, a proven bullshitter or an astroturfer, and we've seen too many of them during the console years.

I won't even discuss anything technical, its just the human factor I wanted to point out here.
 
We *do* know Sony and Microsoft entered into a strategic partnership wherein Microsoft would help Sony with their cloud-based streaming.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was to help them create a more robust, efficient PS Now and PS Store.

It's beyond that. Microsoft statement on the deal ... ""The two companies will explore joint development of future cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure to support their respective game and content-streaming services," "

I take every insider with a grain of salt when they give info regardless of track record. If what they were saying is true, perhaps it is in relation to the current build of the game and how PS5 is distributing the workload between CPU and GPU. I'm going to guess, if they need assistance, Sony could lend support. Let's see what happens.
 
Thing is PlayStation and Xbox are just separate brands of Sony and Microsoft...
When it comes to 'BIG BUSINESS' the grown ups come out to play instead of the children.
If they can make money together, they will.

its their enhanced engine and assets for next gen. without knowing details, who the fuck knows what is the bottleneck that ps5 hits and cannot hold 60hz.
oh well, who cares about that, fuck it, lets just bring out the pitchforks instead!!

I can testify to that, i have said a couple of things that could have got me banned, so with that in mine, they either have a very good sense of humor or they frightened by my extreme manliness. Probably the latter, weaklings. :messenger_grimmacing_

If nothing else, any actual insider who started leaking info on high profile games would be opening themselves up to legal action, because of the NDAs that have to be signed by the folks working at places like Rockstar.

That's always why I tend to dismiss these 'insiders' because anyone who works close enough to get the inside scoop would keep their mouths shut so they don't get sued, and don't lose their jobs.

So since the document for the controller only shows a Xbox Series X design, a smartphone and a laptop, can we assume that the Xbox Series S is going to look just like the X (same dimensions, etc.)?

That could be possible but then it would be confusing for some people. It would allow them to make the same box for both and it could save on manufacturing costs.
 
Because my understanding is next gen tech differences between both isn't as significant as PS4 vs Xbox One. the performance delta differences between base PS4 and OG Xbox One was so much that you could see the resolution and frame rate differences from day one. For crying out loud you'd 720p games on Xbox One man meanwhile PS4 had native 1080p for most games right from launch day. I just don't see this happening next gen, perhaps if Series X does native 4K for a 60fps title, it might have frame rate dips meanwhile PS5's native 4k would be checkerboarded 4K but operating at stable 60fps or if it's a 4K 30fps title I'd expect native 4K in some rare multiplatform instances where Series X could perform at native 4K but with frame rate dips meanwhile PS5 does CB4K with stable 30fps. I mean wasn't this the case between PS4 Pro and Xbox One X?
Checkerboarding wouldn't even be a thing on PS5 if an XSX version is 4K native. The gap in GPU went from 43% favoring XBX to 18% favoring XSX, the RAM bandwidth gap went from 50% favoring XBX to 25% favoring XSX, the CPU went from 8% favoring XBX to 3% MT favoring XSX. Reconstruction techniques should only be necessary if BOTH 9th gen consoles require them.

That would be logical - though prototypes being taken home by XBox employees were supposedly disguised inside X1 cases - so it was thought it might be flatter. You'd thing MS would want to make a distinction between the two as well. XSS shouldn't need to be as big.

If the entire point is to be as cheap as possible, building a unit larger than required would just increase shipping/packaging costs and take up unnecessary space at retail. 🤷‍♂️
