Correct... I do not remember the system requirements being very high. I remember it actually being visually kind of shitty even for the time (compared to its contemporaries like Crysis) and I want to say it ran fine on what would be considered a "good gaming PC" for the time... it was a different time though as you may remember games and graphics were changing fast, If you had some 5 year old video card you would have a BAD time, but now if you have a vi...
lol what? Stalker was on PC also. Mid 2000s. F.E.A.R. Was amazing though.
Consider this....
10.5 vs 12.1tf from a raw numbers perspective is less than the difference between the launch ps4 and Xbox one in percentage.
It's far less than the difference between the ps4 pro and Xbox one X.
The Xbox has more graphical grunt. More than 15 percent. In other words it means if a game runs at 60fps on ps5 it'll run at 70fps on Xbox sx no problem.
The saying is "the proof of the pudding is in the tasting", and I agree.
I trust you as a normal person more than most of these game sites.
@TheRealTedCruz
They are actually saying MOST ps4 games are working. They said that out of the top 100 most played MOST are working - just referring to the percentage of those high visibility titles.. They didnt say that was all, they said they made sure the most played games were compatible. Tentatively thousands will be compatible. In fact its 8 months from launch and they have that many games working.... Thats actually awesome if it was true which it isnt, as they cla...
Sony mentioned that- they mean because of the number of streams and needed instructions if doing this in a normal core, but in the case of an SPE and how it does instructions SANS cache, it does it all at whatever interval it can and you program for that in this case the tech accounts for it fully.
But of course its only funny because youd never even attempt to do all that on CPU, it would be incredibly heavy, you'd find another way around it like Sony did here.
Yeah you know... DVD and Bluray and the invention of portable audio as we know it.... I am kidding but yes. They tend to take whats our there and kick it up a notch, not unlike what they did with Playstation in 1995 which took the industry more or less by surprise. Sega didnt know what hit them.
"I'm talking about TV speakers. You can have the best DAC in the world, but if you use it on the cheapest speakers, ie, your TV, the sound will still be shit. NO amount of technology can change that. If you want to believe Sony can change the most basic rules of audio then more fool you."
The basic rule of audio is that part of how your ear perceives sound is by phase. Something that we've known for a century. If they can do it in real time, and its not ...
LOL @ Quietly, But yes.
It seems to be that they took ATMOS, hardware accelerated it on an SPE like custom CU and are adding their own proprietary phasing profiles.
LOL at GRN and Chris. Nobody is saying its virtual surround in the sense youre arguing against. Its a literal phase difference to change the way sound is rendered- to give a feeling of specialty. And you havent even tried it. There are tests for this type of audio you can find- it exists, for headphones. You can go try it yourself if you have some stereo headphones probably even on youtube- the difference is Sony is doing it in real time, not tweaking it in a lab. This isnt EAX.
"Amazing"? Its 3d spacial technology through stereo (or surround of course).... you understand its what ATMOS already does right? But it does it under license.
I dont use my TV speakers. I use headphones or floor standing speakers or my 7.1 system. It sounds great... What sony demonstrated their technology should do (and there is NO reason to think it cannot do it ) is change the PHASE of sound to give it presence and thats exactly what Sound is missing right ...
Yeah... the Xbox One X is outclassing Sony ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK I guess. Look at sales. Do you think the Xbox one X helped MS that much in this generation? No. And it has basically nothing to do with power.
And there is no fishiness with the SSD speeds. Where did you hear that? They arent even claiming to max out the PCIE4 bus, they have the IO and lanes to support the speed they claim. Microsoft has a half-speed SSD in comparison Just accept it.
Oh boy.... where to begin.
"They lied because everything they said was aimed directly at the competition. "
That doesnt even logically follow.
"They tried to say CUs don't matter, they tried to say it's about clock speeds even though their chips can't sustain that high clock for long periods, only short bursts,"
LOL you know better than Sonys engineers right? He said outright that it would...
Ironically the ultra thin, flat chested " model " look popular in the 80s and 90s that the mainstream woke crowd kept saying was an "unrealistic depiction" and "unhealthy" is exactly what this seems to be trying to do. Western women at a healthy weight have hips and a chest- and guess what? Health is what men are attracted to- which is what makes it sexy which is why those things are considered good and are emphasized - for sex appeal.
Mak...
L O Frickin L the damage control trying to make Sonys advantages not seem like anything is REAL!
The Atmos technology could technically support more- current devices max at 32, they didnt lie, This is dolby trying not to look like sh*t.
The truth is Sony is saying they can do sound from hundreds of separate sources- ALSO change the PHASE to make it FEEL like the sound is coming from there which ATMOS does NOT process in that way- And that it can do it ...
One thing to mention is this... Imagine the game is designed with that Audio and the XBOX has to process it on chip? I have a feeling MS heard about this and thats why their system has a separate audio processor shoved in last minute not integrated on the systems main die, because it needed to have SOMEWHERE to offload those audio effects done by a custom SPE type core on the sony system.... because if it isnt then it will hit the CPU or have to be custom coded to the GPU.
"Anywhere near "? Its very near. IO Does help, no it wont make up every tiny bit graphically but.. ANYWHERE NEAR? Its literally the same kind of chip with fewer CUs and a higher clock, its going to be stupidly similar. Its like saying a 5600XT doesnt offer "anywhere near" what a 5700XT does. Of course it does. Youre talking about max frame rates and being able to bump up resolution or something, its not a difference like between XBOX ONE and XBOX ONE X, the differenc...
yeah they announced this a while back but then radio silence
