Exclusives are critical hardware selling assets for console makers. It push them to go across boundaries an propose never seen before games.
They are what makes videogame industry move on a target technical breakthrough.
TheColbertinator enter the game store:
Employee : Hello mister, what can I do for you?
TheColb: I want a next gen console!
Employee: very well. This gen is starting strong with very good consoles. Both PS5 and Xbox allows to ...
TheColb: stop this BS peasant, I want the more silent console, and my limit is 4dbA.
Employee: ( nervously grabs gasoline and matches)
So, you have the same game on serie S and PS5???
If this is by any length true, it make no sense at all.
This is a little bit naive I’m afraid.
Games prices will not change for end consumer whatever is the revenue model of these stores. It is only a balance about who will get more and less money between dev and editors.
Did you see any price drop on Apple store when Apple lowered their fees? I don’t think so.
I generally does not like this kind of discussion from actors of the industry, as they can say whatever they want with little chanc...
This is typical Spencer talk: business model, game pass, millions, $$$$.
Not a word from him in recent weeks regarding first SX/PS5 face off and serie S far from being a 1440p machine, plus dropping details and frame rate vs SX on top of lower res, contrary to what have been marketed before launch.
He is just occupying media space to divert from a difficult launch of Xbox next gen.
That’s and interesting video.
Seems like memory runs hot, but I think it is safe to assume that Sony did sufficient testing to ensure this is safe for standard life span.
Pc guys, myself included, always expect very low temperature vs what silicon is capable of.
Heat is an aging and parametric drift factor for electronics, but if designed correctly, semiconductor can operate safely around 100/125°c junction temp.
Thermal shutdown can be ...
As long as there is people that buys at twice the price, this will continue.
This is capitalism in a nutshell.
Same here. Didn’t play a couple of PS4 exclusives yet, (TLOU 2, GoT, Medievil, Crash 4), waiting (desperately) to play them on a PS5.
PS5 BC level of quality is surprisingly good, at a level that some remakes should not be needed anymore.
Plus for people having external HDD for games install on PS4, the move on PS5 looks like almost plug and play.
Burn it with fire
The tools dude, they are not ready /s
I don’t understand why they don’t equip with a 120fps capturing device. For a website like DF, it is a nonsense to continue saying they are not able to capture the main part of what the claim to compare.
One more “insider” giving assumptions out of nowhere.
Give sources please, never heard any dev saying they got Xbox dev tools just a couple of months ago.
I think DF just game the answer: MS development flow needs to include so much platforms from all Xbox consoles to PC.
Maybe SX architecture is to much conservative to achieve it without killing the devs, while on the other side Sony built the best architecture with no constraints for BC an PC.
Brag about the cheapest “next gen” console.
This 600p zoom in the video is horrendous.
I agree they downplay to much some evidences, like clearly better 60fps flat line on PS5.
Same, 120fps comparison is very poor, even with dynamic environment they should have compared the same race on the same track between consoles.
The VRR on Xbox is a none sense, they should stop emphase on this feature. Sure it is a great feature with compatible screen, but frame drop is frame drop and they should stick to comparing framerate outputted by each console.
I usually play 3rd party games on PC, and exclusives on PS.
But PS5 make me wondering if this is really needed anymore. Seems like AC Valhalla requires a beats of a PC to run as well as PS5.
That’s kind of a dead end for MS PR narrative, so much for the 4K/60 FPS beast.
I think there is a much bigger bottleneck that GDK, but well, that the new Xbots moto these days.
You made my day 😂
Seems like Sony has ticked a lot of boxes on all front with PS5.
Architects and engineers must be proud.
This dropping resolution BS was the most sneaky and misleading MS PR for a long time.
Now you all see the results in many games: the S needs to drop resolution, frame rate and details to try to output something presentable.
And this is not even 1 month in the next gen. In 5 years the S will either be the most laughable machine in gaming industry, or already been discarded by MS.
Just thinking about a third option though, as everythin...
