But look at the other games accompanying the sports and COD games and the percentages they take on both platforms. Spider-Man MM is nearly identical to Black Ops. Demon's Souls takes a higher proportion of the PS5 install base than Forza Horizon 4 or Gears 5 do on the Xbox Series install base. Heck, Ghost of Tsushima has an impressive 8.1% despite it being made for the PS4.
@jznrpg XSX's RAM is still technically unified, but it is asymmetrical. It has a total of 10 chips, 4 of which are 1GB each on a 32-bit bus and 6 of which are 2GB each on a 32-bit bus. As long as the 2GB chips each use 1GB or less, then the XSX's memory bandwidth can reach the max of 560 GB/s. But the problem is that if those 2GB chips use more than 1GB, then the bandwidth will drop because the "GPU optimized" portion of the RAM will need to share lanes with the "slow R...
Here's the main problem with the XSX. It's hardware setup is not suited well for cache management. You need new data flowing into the cache in order for the CPU and GPU to actually do work. A CPU or GPU with an empty cache is akin to a car's tires spinning, but the car isn't going anywhere. Neither the PS5 nor XSX have 128MB of cache like the RDNA2 desktop cards, so other avenues need to be taken.
The PS5 addresses this with a high clock speed which will in ...
It's likely due to how the PS5 handles its cache. The Infinity Cache on AMD's desktop RDNA2 cards proved that Cerny wasn't talking a bunch of marketing nonsense. AMD could've gone with a wider bus or GDDR6X, but that would (1) make the card more expensive and (2) increase the power draw. Instead, the RX6800 and up contain 128MB of cache and these cards can clock at really high speeds (even over 2.5 GHz). That, in turn, boosts the cache's bandwidth.
Obvio...
As Moore's Law is Dead put it best, the pixel is dead. There comes a point where resolution will not improve the image quality that much. This is why Nvidia has been pushing DLSS and we saw how much it greatly improved in DLSS 2.0. Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank on the PS4 utilized temporal injection and those looked great.
The next generation will be less about native resolution. It's going to be about how to improve image quality using smart, effective techniq...
What's funny is that the censorship is only in the US. The European trailer looks just like the one in Japan: https://i.imgur.com/5LufErf...
If you see the trailer on the Playstation channel, for some reason, they added a dust cloud at one part: https://imgur.com/lSu16Fx
That was my first thought, too. The Xbox One barely has a 100K+ userbase in Japan and Japanese games in general, don't sell that much on the console. Despite that, PQube must have determined that the XBO will give them a larger ROI than the PS4 because the amount of time, money, and resources they would have to spend to get Sony's approval wouldn't be worth it.
Rachel_Alucard put it best. If you make niche Japanese games, trying to launch your game on the PS4 (l...
Sony's excuse for the censorship policy also didn't make much sense as their argument basically boiled down to "Won't someone please think of the children?". The Switch has lots of games that appeal to the kid/youth audience, but Nintendo has no problem allowing games such as Gal Gun and Senran Kagura on their platform.
The fact that the Xbox One is getting the game while the PS4 isn't is very telling. Remember Omega Labyrinth Life? D3Publisher literally went out of their way to mock Sony's censorship policy and the Switch version ended up selling several-fold more than the PS4 version.

Well, with the recent announcement of the RTX3000 series and the upcoming Zen 3 CPU's, a Ryzen 4700x (8-core Zen 3) + RTX3070 build sounds like a fantastic value proposition.
Especially when the PS4 already offers functionality for parents to control what their children can play.
We have been functioning along the "Don't like it? Don't buy it." philosophy for the longest time. However, the authoritarian prudes absolutely hate the idea of the consumer making his/her own choices and thus, push for censorship or even outright bans of games. These people are miserable and drunk on power. They don't like the games you enjoy because they are "offensive" to them and will do what they can to ruin your enjoyment.
If the game is not fun to play, why bother?
Why do you need Sony to keep "that crap" away from you when you can just do that yourself?
Sony re-uploaded the video in what I would assume an attempt to sweep the negative criticism of the first upload under the rug. Turns out that the second upload was criticized just as much. If you think the like/dislike ratio is very skewed towards the dislike side, the comments section is even more skewed. You have to try hard to find a comment that sides with Sony's censorship.
The reception of that video is a clear sign that a significant amount of consumers are stil...
@ShadowWolf712
Pedophilia involves actual underage children. Characters depicted in an anime style inherently props up a clear thick wall between fiction and reality as opposed to, let's say, the realistic style of TLOU2.
Also, ask yourself this. What would you rather happen? Pedophiles fulfilling their fantasies on fictional characters or pedophiles fulfilling their fantasies on actual children? I think it's a no-brainer that both of us much pref...
@Apocalypse
I would like to see a peer reviewed paper that shows that consuming echo anime content leads to higher amounts of pedophiles. It only matters if there are actual negative consequences.
And no, I won’t be playing an ecchi game in front of a child because ESRB will have that game rated M. I would not play RDR2 in front of a child for the same reason. These games are not suitable for that age group.
I would say the sick one is ...
"Assumption 1.
*That it's because of the summer Olympics is why games are being scaled back or censored.*"
Name the people making this assumption. I expressed my doubts as the reason so I'm not among the gamers you're criticizing anyways.
"Assumption 2.
*Nintendo hasn’t been censoring any of its third-party content*"
This is a strawman argument. People are arguing that Nintendo has not...
My guess is that a lot of people are very disappointed in the direction the AC series has taken and they see Ghost of Tsushima as a very viable alternative to scratch that itch.
