CRank: 6Score: 106120

Almost all sony's western studios started off as western funded businesses with multicultural teams of staff that worked as 2nd party partners and were eventually bought by sony. Naughty dog for example came from universal studios who published the original crash games. Insomniac also worked for universal. Sony bought naughty dog, insomniac went independent until recently and activision bought universal's game rights etc.

Anyone that's read the digital foundry interview with mark Cerny and has a decent understanding of tech shoukd know that the TERAFLOPS of the cards is a cheap on paper way of calculating power and wont accurately represent the performance of these consoles given sont has gone for a slightly different design that functions less like a pc. The end result I suspect will be very very very similar.

I mean the fact he is a "former" sony dev counts against him imo. He left, why? chances are he may not have that good a relationship with him. What he says doesn't change my impeccable understanding of maths and technology and the fact I can clearly tell that on raw numbers alone the xbox has not got that much of a lead and that the raw numbers usually don't represent the actual brute force calculating power of a machine and that brute force power is often less important tha...

Cerny "we expect the gpu and cup to be running at max almost all of the time "

possible? well we can use brain signals to control simple robot arms etc so yes ofc it's possible. Should we do it however.... that's another matter entirely.

@christopher: It isn't hypocrisy. People went on about the xbox one's power difference because it was 40% less powerful AND more money. That's the key it was a bigger power difference AND 100 pounds more.

number of neurons >= intelligence it's actually more about the pathways and how those neurons work. Bit liker a computer raw power isn't necessarily the be all and end all. Want an example of this: well some humans are definitely thicker than chimpanzees lol

specs are actually fine. It's really not that significant a difference to the xbox also theyve gone for more custom silicon which will mean optimisation means more the xbox is basically a decent pc.

@it'smebrian Sony are bringing one exclusive to PC and they would appear to be doing so to try and entice pc players to get a ps5 aswell.

sooo this is nonsense. On paper Xbox is more powerful although not substantially more. when going from Mega flops to Tera Flops 1.7 would have been massive, but when you are on 10 1.7 isn't as significant. Plus that's just on paper sony have the faster gpu clock speed. The cpu's especially as multithreading will be a big thing is practically the same really. Then sony have unified GDDR6 RAM and extremely fast SSD, the difference wont be that substantial and the fight will be fough...

I mean cats are hands down the superior animal. I love our dog but cats are better. More intelligent, less hassle and just as capable of displaying affection.

It would destroy the game industry nothing would ever get finished because the only way to avoid crunch is have no deadlines....

look closely at the contract it will state in it things like "extra hours to get work done may be required and are expected in addition to contracted working hours" assuming ou are contracted for specific hours otherwise it will state "longer shifts and weekend work may be required from time to time" or in the case of a developer "as release of a product approaches" etc. These clauses are common. Obviously that contract can't contract you to work more hours t...

@smokehouse: nap times? lol nah you're thinking of central europe. We are similar to you just we insisted on laws to protect home-work balance for most industries and wont accept having that or holidays taken from us as a general rule. :p That said I worked 10-12 hours a day to finish projects as part of my physics degree... especially near the end of them and people regularly have to work 10-12 hours at the shop i work at part time atm. Particularly when people are say panic buying or ar...

Crunch will always exist to some extent. As you get to the end of any project there will always be extra improvements you can make last minute or extra bits to add and polish that can applied. This is true of anything that has a deadline it's just the nature of how games are developed that makes it a more noticeable thing. For films it's the producers and editors and directors going over scenes, editing stuff cutting and adding scenes into the film to see which version they think is b...

Well it's a plus for playstation aswell sony make most of their money on games and playstation doesn't have to just be a physical platform it could easily be a service instead. Look at playation now. In all likelihood what we will see is next gen sequels exclusive to ps5 till roughly the end of the generation and last gen sone playstation titles releasing on pc years after their ps releases and sales dried up. It's a win for both and provides more money for Dev's to create gam...
