That whole vlogcast by DF was one of jeering and hmmpf, with Alex laughing like a hyena at every turn....They mocked 8k.. and just Like Brad Sams, Alex said "we knew this would be what Sony would show"......Then he downplayed the hell out of the SSD tech, since Cerny said that would be much faster than current PC solutions........I mean Alex didn't even know the details about the spiderman improvements on PS5, but here he is sitting on a discussion already giving his take and deflecting and then midway asks "what were the details again?" Richard explains the 19 to .8 seconds fast traversal and also the traversal through Manhattan where data loading in not being affected like in the PS4 version and therefore not limiting Spiderman's advancement in the world as quickly as he can speed away....He says 'Oh" and goes straight back deflecting.....Oh this will be because of PCiE4 which comes with Ryzen 2, so PC will have this tech by then too......You don't know the tech behind this, I mean, why say this in such a way........It's like they just want to downplay everything about this reveal.....Of course the 8k mocking and when asked "Do you think MS has anything to worry about?" FFFT, ha ha, come on now Rich, MS is more than good bey-bee.....
I'll bet you, if this was an MS reveal, the SSD bit, the 8k bit, the mocking, laughing and jeering would not exist, this would be a serious video without all this deflecting.....They would talk up SSD's, they would talk up 8k and raytracing etc....., Look at how they respond to raytracing, something they've been super excited for like kids on speed, but check how hohum, their recption is that PS5 will have RT, "well I don't think it will be all that great and match Turing, hyena laugh", one said, maybe with 30fps games they can do something, everything is toned down in excitement..... OTOH, It almost looks like, they're already preparing to damage control if MS does not offer 8k or an SSD solution as good as Sony........I mean, look here, these guys are concerned about propietary storage on a PS5 (FCOL), when you could put your own HDD's on a playstation console since PS2, Sony led that charge......It's also insulting people's intelligence the way they speak about BC and MS...You would have sworn BC and MS were joined at the hip.........The first console to do full BC for two generations in a row was Sony, the only gen Sony did not do it is this one because of the PS3 architecture......
MS BC is just noise by it's fans, it changed nothing for them, reports shows that no one is playing those BC games, well maybe a few, because MS has been starving it's base of quality AAA exclusives this entire gen, so they have no choice.....Still, the report shows, that there are hardly that many hours logged in on BC titles on XBOX, so I'm pretty sure the base is playing multiplats instead.....Sony offers BC next gen because, it's X86 to X86, it's simple to do and it makes sense, it will be 100% of PS4 games BC'd, compared to the drip method MS is using......So I've played NG2 quite a few times on my 360, I have to wait years till the end of this gen just to play it at 1700p, this is not why I buy a new gen console....BC helps in the beginning of the gen, not so much after 6 months of a new generation, most people will never touch a PS4 game again after they see PS5's visuals, no matter how much noise you're hearing....especially from the MS camp this gen...
This is just like the Crossplay thing, journalists are pretending that MS is leading the charge on everything.....MS has shown BC is very important and impactful? Really? Where is the stats to prove that? because there are stats to show otherwise...It's like one big AD for MS everytime. BC did nothing for them, crossplay did nothing for them, they did not have the best solution for BC anyway, which is all games playable day 1, they also don't have a prayer in crossplay adoption compared to the competition, but they made noise about that too,. MS is leading the charge in nothing ...Most of the X enhanced games are not even true 4k or run at a rock solid framerate, so there's nothing amazing there.....Lots of these games have stuttering too, even shown from Leadbetter's own video.....
Now another trend I see is that people want to demand the whole of the UAE for $400.......They want PS4 BC, they won't stop there though, they want PS3 BC, they want PS2 and PS1 BC.....100% all games, so they can play all prior Sony software Day1....They want all that at $400 and will eventually complain about it if Sony don't deliver...Some are already, mostly non Sony fans putting this out there, so if Sony does not deliver it, they will say they are dissapointed and make a row online...Yet they are satisfied with drip methods of BC from MS for an entire gen, where framerate still tanks in those BC games...Where is the demand for full OG XBOX BC, full 360 BC on day 1? Oh no you won't see that here Micho...

: Yet they could only copy the basics..... and it took them an additional year, with no custom engineering like you saw in PRO. No extra instructions on CU's, no 64 rops, no Vega features, No ID buffer, NO CB hardware etc...In essence, a very basic design where they removed stuff and kept polaris as it was, got the max basic CU's from polaris minus the redundant ones and were able to up the clocks higher because there was less complexity in the silicon compared to PRO......So they put a very basic vacuum chamber in the XBONEX and talk a storm about it like they do everything and add 4 GB more memory. Such a marvel of enginneeing.......You would ahve thought such a basic and cost saving design without much in engineering and lower prices 1 year later would be offered at $400, No, they said here's your True 4k wonder, NO CB no upscaling device for $500, that backfired something fierce, now it's cheaper than PRO most places you go, where sometime back they were begging PRO owners to trade their consoles for it.....Plllllease TRADEEE>
That time, ther was lots of deflection...Lots of that IGN video that

posted, lots of "The Most Balanced Console" articles by Eurogamer or "Does higher Resolution matter by DF", most of the faceoffs were negligible in rez, looks pretty close on a 1080p set, does not look bad at all.....
.....720p + 900p to 1080p, it does not look that bad tbh, looks pretty close due to TAA.....Do you remember the "Best Looking 720P game renaissance period?" Quantum Break and Halo 5 were such games were such games, there could have been more.....This gen was surely something innit.....?
