Thats not true, they try every gen to have bc. PS2 had BC with PS1. PS3 had BC with PS2, but thanks to expensive parts it was later removed. PS4 had not BC with PS3 because of GPU like cores of PS3, which were used a lot for sound processing and more. PS4 couldnt emulate this. In PS5, as Cerny said, they will try to have BC enhanced with new gpu and zen cores performance. But for sensitive games, they also incorporated Jaguar compatible mode to new CPU. So they trying every gen, but only one ...
if, if, if sometimes nintendo makes some of their super mario galaxy/odyssey, mario kart, zelda game on PC/PS/Xbox, I will instantly buy it.
Im glad for that. If MS will be on top, Sony will have to make more. And so on....like in every gen.
My XOX and PC is waiting for some good games finally!!!
Sony should do some mega show for normal people. Lot of people dont understand or are confused and simply compare TFs with XSX and are disappointed.
Yes and 12 is less than 13.
1)Even technicaly advanced people dont know, how XSX and PS5 can be compared. XSX has more teraflops by smaller percentage amount than it was between Pro ans XOX. And even there it wasnt a deal breaker(for Pro). I think also much bigger percentage difference between XO and PS4 wasnt a deal breaker(for XO). It doesnt simply matter too much. Anyway, XSX looks like maybe 15% faster in terms of TFs. So we will see, how this huuuuge difference will be used.
2)Out engineered? You...
I think this is important. Studios will probably always use lowest common denominator. Theres a chance if first party studios show, that this can lead to revolutionary game concepts, maybe other studios try to make also similar games for ps5. Im very interested how this approach will be implemented in Unity, Unreal engine etc...
Sony probably has own plans. Sadly they dont communicate it well. Its similar to Nintendo. Microsoft is on the other hand very open and friendly.
Same communication gap was seen during XOX and Pro announcements.
Even now, IF(!) PS5 is superior in terms of architecture to XSX, Sony doesnt know how to use that fact. But lack of this type of communication is not (from my point of view) evidence, that Sony doesnt have anything to offer.
In...
Its absolutely clear, where he got that numbers. But he got it wrong way. 2,5 GB takes system. He thinks, that it will be from fast ram, so 7,5 GB is left. I think (and also eurogamer and lot of people), that these 2,5 GB is to be taken from slow memory. So there will be 10 GB fast ram and 3,5 GB slow ram free for games (instead of 7,5 GB fast ram and 6 GB slow ram as "he" is predicting).
It doesnt make sense to let system canibalize on fast ram instead of gpu in...
Exactly, if everyone look at game differences even between 6core and 8core ryzens, its not so much. Even between different boosted ones with same number of cores/threads. There will be huge difference from current gen Jaguar though. PS4 suffered with Jaguar against PS3. Devs talked about PS3 CPU very powerful but hard to code for. Jaguar is garbage, but easy to code for. Ryzen is both powerful and easy to code for.
This will be epic ;-)
I think its great to have exclusives on PS(x) with later (2-3 years) porting on PC. Games of high quality like Uncharted, Gow, Hzd, Days gone (for some this is discutable, for me its gem) would be great on pc.
It does make sense but one thing. The guy mentions tech, ms has described and sony not, but its only dxr standard. Its in DRX 1.1 which is supported by both consoles and also RDNA2 generaly. So this one sentence was not correct. Other way - yes in terms of CU count XSX has lot more power then PS5. In terms of frequency, PS5 has lot more power than XSX. In terms of combination of CU and frequency, MS is stronger, but percentualy its lower difference than between Pro and X. So whats the deal th...
Main problem is maybe in Sony PR. I think ps5 is only PS model (base model) whereas MS is making series X (premium) and probably series s (standard). If that is the case, it doesnt make sense to direct compare ps5 and xsx. They are for different audience. But maybe im wrong. We will see.
But Dolby headphone is inferior even to PSVR binaural tech in terms of 3d sound. I bought licence for Dolby and used only few times. On the other hand what Sony started with PSVR and continue with ps5 seems like different league (and little different thing than Dolby to be honest).
Finally some person who understands situation.
I agree. Base ps5 is weaker then premium xsx.
Developers dont use it too much, because lot of people have stereo tv/headphones. What Sony did is pushing 3d sound through stereo - its called also binaural 3d sound. It works great and you need to have only stereo headphones and according to sony also stereo speakers will do. I think headphone part is done. Binaural sound isnt anything new and it works. But stereo speakers are in different league. I heard lot of soundbars with virtual 3d sound which used phasing. I was never convinced enoug...
Maybe Sony just starts to sell PS5 with great exclusives.
