How many ears do you have?
More than 2 ears? More than two eardrums?
Yeah I eagerly await the justification for using up to 1,000 speakers or more for a decent surround sound experience... WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE TWO EARS TO HEAR IT ALL!
Very true.
If Google decides to make a true console like PS5/XSX (with support from major 3rd party publishers), but running Android without any limitations on apps that it could run, Google might actually give PlayStation and Microsoft a run for their money.
Might even make a streaming box worth owning. Imagine controlling your A/C, ordering a pizza and playing games with one device! Kinda creepy in my own personal opinion, but undeniably this has some mass market potential...
Just imagine that effect for every object even without the use of VR...
To me that's exciting!
This thread is proof that no one understands what was said in the reveal.
HRTF is a measure of how sound makes its way through your ear canal.
Each human has only 2 ears (in most cases) that work (also most cases) and the importance of the HRTF sound simulation is to fool your eardrums into believing sounds from the game world are coming from a physical location.
In real life if sound is below you you know it because the sound must travel through...

Those official docs should tell you the GPU clock frequency tops out at 2.23Ghz not 2.33Ghz.
This is what Cerny stated in The Road to PS5 video I linked to earlier.

The PS5 power input is throttled
(Source: YouTube->Channel-"Play Station"-Video-"The Road to PS5"-Time-"35:00& ;quo t; - can't use HTML in comments here's a link: https://youtu.be/ph8LyNIT9s... ) as you can see PS5 varies its clock speeds rather than its power input meaning thermal performance should never be exceeded. The reason for that as Cerny explai...
Should we be worried?
About the carbon footprint of gaming (not Nintendo but all of gaming)? No.
About the UN? Yes: https://www.unenvironment.o...
Nintendo is a pretty big international company. I guess because they're an Ltd it's no big deal... then again so is Samsung and they literally used to make weapons too and Nintendo had it's own taxi service and love hotels... but whatever.
The real news is that humans are laughably bad at terraforming anything including our atmosphere and the emissions from everything are hugely overblown never mind the unfounded impact CO2 has on the weather. Funny how the past...
If you want to get into the specifics regarding the carbon footprint of gaming you'd actually be eating about 1,000 times your weight in crow on this one.
Games generate a lot of waste especially when they don't sell at all. Think about the waste sitting on always on servers somewhere waiting to be purchased of those always online servers just waiting for you to log into to play an online match. TV and radio is no different in some ways but the transportation of tha...
True if they want to ban games all those digital distribution methods and streaming options die as well. Say bye-bye to N4G too. We'll be in the dark ages for then next few hundred to few thousand years if they're serious (because they think anthropogenic CO2 specifically lingers for thousands of years while natural CO2 only meanders for 30 or so years).
Wait I thought science was Republicans weak spot?
Hawaiians will be pretty well effed if we go cold turkey on oil.
Hawaii a utopia. 61% of its energy comes from oil. But don't take my word for it:

That's good.
If we let up the kinds of idiots that would actually ban Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony will make it into office and possibly do just that for real this time especially with all their hysteria surrounding CO2 these past couple of years especially.
@Palitera
Thinks N4G is right wing? Daily Star sure as •••• isn't right wing! 😂
I'm politically in the center and moving more and more to the right every day by simple virtue of the fact that the left keeps on tripping further left.
In The US Socialism is the left's new platform which most people even most Democrats can't get behind. The left wing but not THAT FAR LEFT news outlets have already voiced their concerns about ...
Graphics definitely have a lot of room to improve even from Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
I was thinking about hpw much more can be done to improve DRIVECLUB's visuals after I saw it and played it and drove around for a few hours admiring the real world and reminiscing about how glorious DRIVECLUB is... but it occurred to me that DRIVECLUB is just a great starting point and most of its realism came from it's rather accomplished GI lighting systems.

PC has generations you just can't be bother to remember them. Nvidia has been releasing cards since 1995. Obviously not all their new cards are faster they release economy cards every year it seems. Basically they longest generations on PC are dictated by real improvements in hardware or software or both. Console generations are far easier to track but general purpose computer (GPC) hardware generations are much harder to track and can be categorized differently because of the breadth of ...
@Imalwaysright
If any of that were true then Nvidia wouldn't be doing business with the cheapest player in the industry.
I personally do to but it wasn't my favorite of all time just my favorite Nintendo Console. The most amazing console I can remember is PSP. PS2 devs did things that game devs still don't do and the hardware was incredible but not the best going by the white sheets despite that it was a great price and I didn't play anything on GameCube or Xbox that blew my mind. PS3 was insane too and despite still being useful to this day the craziest most over-the-top console was PSP. It was bas...
@Spurg
Last I checked those specs were all rumors not an official PS5 whitesheet from PlayStation.
If you're talking about PSP speakers or 3DS speakers or ultra thin FP displays, then I understand...
But most TV speakers don't sound like •••• these days. Most TVs over $500 have respectable (but still weak) bass and don't crush high frequencies either (thanks to far more capable sound processors). Today's TV sets can give you great sound quality. Even really expensive phones offer quieter audio with even less bass but generally match the TV audio experience at low v...
