Sonys going to show Naughty Dogs new game before TLOU2 releases and Capcom is going to show a 3rd RE game is year?

I'm going to vote no.

And GT7 at launch when they said GT Sport is running on PS5 nah maybe Q1 2021 but not day 1.

They may not show those sneak peaks, but they are indeed being vetted right now with possible story and game design concept.

Did your source mention TFlop numbers or just that both consoles are very close?

What I heard is that the PS5 is not as powerful as the XSX. I then said, so the rumors of it being 9TF must be true? Yes. I don't know about the actual number of the XSX but I believe HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 source. While I would take any numbers with a grain of salt, I do know that the RT cores is the main driver for the price. They are also worried about the price putting them in trouble if they don't make sales. I don't have any specs on the hardware at all. This is the same source that said PS5 is in the 1080 performance ballpark.

So that’s just your old info right?
 
My sources just verified to me on the phone that everything this guy mentions is 100% true. And yea, the Xbox Series X is indeed more powerful than the PS5. Even the price he mentions is correct. So I would believe that PS5 = 9TFLOPS and XSX 10TFLOPS
theres simply no way MS releases the xsx at a higher price point if its only 1tflop more powerful. sorry but i just dont buy that for a single second.

12 tflops? perhaps. not 10

Jason Schreier has said that several developers have said that PS5 and Series X is in the 2080 ballpark in terms of raw horsepower.
So which is it 1080 or 2080?

Not really, but maybe poorly worded. What I mean is, I just want the reveal already. If it's on the 5th, and the PS5 is around 9-10tf - great, I can confidently ignore Tommy, Klee etc. If the reveal is not on the 5th and the PS5/XSX are closer to 12tf, I can safely ignore VFX and maybe Heisenberg, at least in relation to the SIE source.

I just want to start filtering out all of the conflicting information.

You can't ignore what people hear. That's grossly unfair. Our contacts do indeed work in the industry. They may not work at the actual companies but they hear things. They talk. If what they say changes, so what? Don't ever try to gamble on what one of us says when we aren't actually working at these companies. Some of us might get an accurate rumor. Some of us might not. My friend called me when I spoke about the certain original IPs. He didn't realize it got leaked.

that would indeed be very bad, at least if there's nothing else about the hardware that justifies it.
 
And a 9tf machine from Sony is going to cost $500? Either they're both selling at a profit or this ain't legit. Unless I'm completely missing something

we dont know how expensive the rt implementation is
we dont know how expensive their super-duper ssd solution is

im still not convinced that we need a ssd which is twice as fast as the ssd in the xbox.
If anything, it will only bring a real advantage in exclusive games.

In my opinion a "normal" ssd would have done it too.
I would have preferred to put the budget into more CPU or GPU performance

Looks like Sam has left the building. He's no longer in NYC and from he's comment it sounds like he's sight seeing across America. I honestly think he's just taking vacation so nothing to see here people.

wondering if he actually knows that theres an internet forum making all kind of speculations from his holiday pics

How could your source know the price of the PS5 this far out from launch? The individual would have to be high up in the Playstation ranks to have access to this kind of information?
Now when it comes to raw power, yes i understand that information you can squeeze out of a developer at this stage but the information regarding the price and launch strategy to is fishy

Very disappointing they are throwing away die space on RT at this point. Was really hoping MS would use the straight up hybrid method and wait for the mid generation refreshes for acceleration. Giving up several TF of power for limited effects is just not appealing to me. In a few years when they figure out how to do it better that be fine. But good to know s head of time to be disappointed with sub 10tf consoles for RT yippy.

The kind of hardware that's in it, that's how. I spoke about $300.. "there is no way Sony is going to put RT cores in a console that's only $300." So I am assuming that this 4Chan has a LOT of information that's true. So take your pick.. It's gotta be at least $400.. $499 seems more likely

It is possible that I am the only one who thinks like that but to me a machine of 9 TFLOPS for 500 euros seems expensive to me, and as for the power they seemed great to me 9TFLOPS if everything went to 1080p but to move 4k knowing that according to Cerny to move the PS4 to 4k games are needed 8TFLOPS .... well sincerely it seems to me that it falls short.

Yes, but they'd be crucified if they DIDN'T support RT as well. Still, I'd have to think both companies are smart enough that if there WASN'T a benefit to the RT tech, they'd not include it in favor of having more powerful hardware. We will see...

I think it's valuable that at the end of all of this, everyone has a understanding on the good sources and the bad sources. I have no idea how it will pan out, and I don't think it reflects on you, Osiris, Klee etc, personally. It doesn't mean ignore that person outright.

However I do think if it turns out you (or anyone else) is way off the mark, then it's clear that the sources are bad and not to be trusted.

look at current AMD GPUs.
a 9TF gpu from AMD is the highest end consumer RDNA card they have
and that thing alone is more than $350

that is with no Raytracing hardware.

then there's the SSD, the RAM, the Zen2 CPU and materials for the case and controller.

add all these up and $399 would be most likely a system sold at a loss

That's fine. Doesn't really bother me. I get trolled anyway for telling people what they don't want to hear.. I'm not looking for any attention or any celebrity status. I've had that fun already in the film industry.

So after you said that your source confirmed the price of PS5 at $499 is 100% correct (as per another so called leak) you then back out and assume its going to be $499 ?
That and all other information is correct along with the full launch lineups including new IP's from Sony's 1st party?

Yeah you guys like to come in post things then when pressed, you provide yourself wiggle room by cleverly backing out and changing the narrative.
As other's have posted here before. You'd have to be high up in the ranks at Sony or MS to know such intimate launch details including pricing of these consoles this far out from launch.

Seems to me you're full of it just like Tommy.

*EDIT*
Please ignore the last above line. I don't want to come across as personally attacking you. Its just the state of the forum and people pretending to have inside info have largely been wrong. At this point in time, i don't think anyone has anything concrete to share.

Yep. /ignore me if you don't like it. At the end of the day, I am trying to throw water on all of you hungry mofos. What difference does the price make? You'll either buy it at the price or not. When asking about each of these leaks, the number of "confirmed" was too great. This guy 4Chan has some damn good sources. I believe the price. I may not believe the dates and shit like that change all the time, but the meat of the information is in the power comparisons and the games. Period. Everything else is fluff..

Radeon HD 7870 which the PS4's GPU is based on also cost more or less the same at the time.

Yes to me i couldn't give a rats ass about the price, you're right. I will buy whatever the hell Sony or MS set their prices at.
My issue is knowing this information this far out from launch including the launch titles. Someone very high up in Sony is likely leaking this stuff to your source as i'm sure this information is not easy to get to. So to me this raises red flags. There were 'leaks' last year that claimed prices on these consoles and launch lineups too.
Maybe someone in the know on the forum can explain how these things work but i'm sorry being able to disclose launch price and titles has to be BS.

For the record, i respect and appreciate your posts. You've always been willing to answer questions and don't resort to the cryptic clues and 'soon' posts that every other poster and his dog is doing.

How much percentage of the silicon do you estimate the RT cores have on next-gen? Isn't it about 7-10% on Turing? Also, thank you for the information.

Stop. I told you what I know. Please don't ask for info I don't know. Discuss what you have all you want. I told you everything I know.

I stated for a lonnnng while that I believed both machines would be around 10TF. Until Phil came with that "do the math" stuff and all the leaks and then I believed the 12TF.

Can't wait to know the truth. I believe we'll be fine with either. No Jaguar CPUs is enough no make me hyped.

But why would you believe that it took “4 months to do the math”, when 6*2 is 12.

They spent 4 months crunching numbers and tests to find out that 2X the power is what they got. With 12, it would not only be more than 2X, but not need testing to do simple arithmetic.

Testing was done due to efficiency gains with RDNA and not direct 2X flop for flop measurement.

It’s just all PR ambiguity.

I know. That's why I asked your estimation on the matter, not your information. We have the SoC screenshot of Series X and we know the size of the building blocks of RDNA on 7nm. But if you don't want to discuss about it, that's cool.

I don't know. I would happily discuss if I knew specifics. I don't at this point.
