PlayStation 5 [OT] Taking Over The World One SSD At A Time

More a negative than a positive that they're supporting this pile of trash beyond the PS4. Who knows though, maybe on a PS5 with more power the games might look better than PS3 games. It's not a full on dumpster fire, the thing is very comfy for extended periods of time. I didn't sweat too much while using it, the sense of "presence" was only there with the Office work sim game, but it "felt" neat for that. We need real VR controllers, burn the lollipops in a fire.
I guess I was just hoping they'd scrap this thing and move forward from the ground up.

Yup, most games looked like PS3, but it's due to the PS4 itself as well. You should expect much better graphics even with that one, so for existing customers it'll be worth it to use it until we see PSVR2 ;) It's like playing next gen on CRT, although an old tv, graphics still look galaxies ahead of PS1. PSVR will just show you what PS5 can do, but a proper wireless PSVR with higher resolution will attract more customers. But if Sony is smart enough they should support oculus and other brands on PS5, and make PSVR/PSVR2 playable on PC as well as a budget VR.

Difficult to imagine AMD being able to reduce power significantly. I don't know how these GPUs will fit in consoles in the future. Seems like Sony is working on a future of high power GPUs. We can see from their patents and PS5 liquid metal cooling.

Not the GPU itself, it'll be a chiplet of 2x APU's, probably stacked from both sides. Signs of using both sides of the motherboard are on PS5 now, and it's much cheaper to do so as you'll still use one APU on PS5 Slim.

Hmm PSVR will probably not allow HDMI 2.1 passthrough huh?

Getting the PS5 adapter reminded me of the early PSVR version that didn't allow HDR to pass through. Only guessing but I imagine having to swap cables in and out to use it.
 
Demon's Souls looking fire. I wonder what the digital edition stuff from preordering will do to gameplay. I probably won't use them if they're imbalanced.

I already use multiple HDMI channels because of that piece of shit breakout box to begin with. You can attach a short HDMI "extension" cable to the back of a PS4 or PS5, then just swap out which HDMI cable is plugged into it (VR or non-VR).

Splitters seem to work as well, but I had read so many conflicting issues with them that I just opted for the simple and guaranteed extension cable.

I keep seeing some stories on twitter of walmart cancelling pre orders.. fuck I'm getting nervous!

Doing research into their cases...

The first guy who got it cancelled, he pre ordered in October and he said walmart told him they took more pre orders than they could fullfil.

The second guy got his pre order from Walmart September 17th which was a day after the showcase. So I assume that's the 2nd wave, and his pre order got cancelled.

I haven't seen anyone who pre ordered Sept 16th from Walmart (1st wave) live me get cancelled yet so that gives me hope

Am I the only one who thinks it's funny all this discussion about 'PS5 is not RDNA 2!!' and 'Demon's Souls has no RT' while looking at the last gameplay demo and thinking image quality is mind-blowing? Has the game become ugly all of a sudden? I don't give a damn about what's under the hood or how they achieve that, as long as they gimme those results. Remember, UE5 demo wasn't 4K nor had RT.

Update on Sony overall financials....

Sony market value hit 104 Billion on Friday.

PS+ users up 10 million, year on year.

Most importantly cash on hand has exploded, up over 10 Billion since last years annual report to 41.6 Billion.


3.4 Billion is from business profits from the quarter, however the rest is made of large gains from investments made in the last year....

This coupled with Sony's low long-term debt, means Sony could raise up to around 100 billion (Between cash and debt) for acquisitions or other purposes.... stock could also be used to bolster this if needed.

The more I go through deep meditation and thought about the new slogan for the PlayStation 5 generation, the more I like it.
#PlayHasNoLimits #PS5 #DualSense

Not sure if it's tops "Greatness Awaits," but it's pretty much going for the same thing I think. But this time, it's really backed up by what Sony is apparently offering with the Dualsense controller according to people who've used it. I hope 3D audio is just as gloated about.

Exciting times ahead

According to Jim, he's not into panic spree. They'll expand their existing studios that are the best in the business, and probably add few worthy ones like Bluepoint/Kojima Productions/Housemarque.

Old trailer:

New trailer:

Now Sony official performance mode direct feed, months ago: (you know it from the low res foliage)

Most likely the visual mode, foliage is much better and graphics also is better:

Break down any of these, or send them to any person on earth, and let them show which one is 1440p. All of them are in PNG, the first two from the trailers I made from the compressed video but the best possible version at 4K WebM.

To be fair one would need to track people hired and staffing of internal employees. Setting up a third team or hiring more people for existing teams might not seem much, but it is significant.

Looking that you have spamed the forum with the same post, I'll reply with the post I've written in the DS gameplay trailer here

jose4gg jose4gg you may quote this in the speculation thread ;) Took me 2 hours and a half. :lollipop_anxious_sweat:

I dont like it :messenger_fearful:

Because those damn creepy crawling crab monster boss thingys look too realistic and disgustingly scary :messenger_grimmacing_ fuck their claws and mouth holes (not literally fuck, but damn they are creepy)

Maybe I should get xbox and halo, back to the ps2 graphics would be relaxing, Craigs face is easier to look at than Crab'o'monsters

But on serious note, those look so good and I cant wait to meet that davy jones looking lamp dude and challenge him in a duel.:messenger_savoring:
