That's one tenth of what Facebook, a multi-BILLION dollar company, offered to give. Impressive (and shameful for FB).

You talk of saving up to buy consoles... you had to skip some games to do so, didn't you? This is no different. Just because there's a lot of good games coming out doesn't mean you can't save up to buy a VR kit for your console (if you have a PS4) or PC, both of which will eventually be able to play this game (PSVR is rumored to get it later on, which would make sense given its massive install base). You can buy a PSVR headset only for $250 these days. Those great games will s...

We're saying you're crapping on a good game by not playing it the way it was intended to be played. I could play almost any game using a D-Pad, skipping analog control, but I lose a lot of the accuracy analog control provides by doing so. VR is far more complex than that, when it comes to the accuracy it provides (being that your body is the input device), and 360 degree 3D immersion with 3D audio can't be replicated on a flat screen.

But if you have to put you...

If you feel that way, buy 7 Remake. If they see potential in remakes, you can bet they'll be remaking all the classics.

PS4 didn't end the gen as the most powerful, and it mopped the floor with the competition. PS5 Pro could very well be far more poweful than Xbox Series Z or whatever they decide to call it. PS5, with its more balanced architecture, could prove to be more powerful in the ways that count as it is (load times, being able to stream massive, highly detailed worlds much faster, having a HDD so fast it can act as a second pool of RAM, having all audio (and other stuff too) being processed on a p...

PS5 also has a M.2 drive slot to add more high speed storage, and can take usb storage as well (though you'll have to copy the games from the usb to the main storage to play them, since they rely on that speed to work. doing this from a M.2 drive will be MUCH faster).

Cerny said Tempest could process up to thousands of sources at once. Also, Atmos does not take HRTF into account, so while it is positional audio, it still cannot achieve the true "3D audio" effect. Also, Dolby tech is proprietary, you have to license it to use it. There's no additional charge required for devs to use Tempest.

They aren't "shaders", a shader is an app that runs on a GPU core. They are cores, though not the same type of fully featured cores you'd expect to see in a CPU, which is why they can cram thousands of them in there despite CPUs being generally less than 32 cores.

Core count isn't raw power. Each of those cores runs at a clock speed, and that helps determine what the core is capable of. So, while PS5 has fewer cores, they are running faster, and Cerny...

There will be cases where Xbox One's specs give it advantages, and other cases where PS5's audio hardware (which can be used to do other stuff as well), higher clock speeds, and faster transfer rates give it the advantage, so when it comes to multiplatform games, both systems are going to hold each other back in that regard. Exclusive games will play to the advantages that each system has, and in both cases will produce results the other system simply isn't capable of.

So many are overlooking the advantages the more than 2x faster SSD, the audio engine (which negates some of the computational advantages Xbox Series X has, and can lend its power to computing other things than just audio as well), and the higher clock speeds will give PS5. PS5, from a hardware perspective based on what has been revealed, is actually a far more balanced system that will be less prone to bottlenecks.

The tempest engine especially, some tasks can be done on it...

@the firstclassic, the agrees and disagrees around here paint a different story than what you're trying to depict, there. Not quite so uncommon after all. Ol Donny's "Make America Hate Again" campaign seems to be working quite well.

When I started playing music, I didn't pick up an instrument and start writing my own songs immediately. I learned how to play songs I had heard before on the instrument to get familiar with it before I ever attempted to write a song. The same applies in game development, many people feel more comfortable learning the tools on a familiar concept before they strike out on their own and make something unique.

Click the little gear by the story title, then info, then report it as spam, because that's exactly what this is. If enough of us report this clickbait garbage, maybe they'll finally stop allowing it. Getting random developers to state the obvious about a hardware upgrade expanding their capabilities in the most vague, generalized sense possible with no new details given whatsoever about the console itself is not news.

@Echo, probably because they've played it.

@shaggy, when 90 sites give a game a 10/10, and you play it at give it that yourself, then you see a couple no-name wannabe sites drop low scores on the game, it becomes quite obvious their motive is stirring negative attention/clickbait.

Some games are just universally good, this is by far one of them. It perfected the genre created by its developers.

It's been out a lot longer than a week, chances are this person was in on the early access beta like I was and has been playing it for months. Dreams is easy, but not "Remake Ghosts of Tsushima in a week" easy.

Don't forget he may not be talking about TVs... but rather headsets, hitting 240fps. PSVR already natively accepts and displays up to 120.
