Can't wait to see what Forza Horizon will look like on XSX with all the RT bells and whistles enabled. From what I've seen RT reflections have the biggest impact on visuals out of all the RTX features. Racing games are the perfect showcase for real-time RT reflections with all the shiny cars, mirrors, and puddles. Curious to see how their RT implementation works.

Love me some grade A wet wipes though! Gotta keep your shit clean.

it doesn't. it throws around a bunch of fancy particle effects and that's it. take those out and it looks like an upgraded PS3 game.
Raytracing alone will do that with next gen games. RT lighting and reflections will make a huge impact.

and when we are talking about games being held back we are usually talking about the CPUs of the old systems being too weak to handle new gameplay experiences and bigger more complex worlds... Second Son did nothing that wasn't possible on PS3, it just looked nicer than what was possible on PS3. and making games look nicer is not an issue even if you have super low end versions too.
look at the difference between Witcher 3 on Switch and Witcher 3 on max PC settings. the difference there is staggering, and the Switch version doesn't even run at the lowest possible settings (well now with the new update you can lower them to almost the lowest I guess)
Don't answer me anymore. If this is a Ps3 game for you, then you are really mad in your fanaticism

If they knew about an article they could release the info to get the press going about XBox first.

Amazing specs for a console, really expecting some quality looking games now
Even if they don't know about a specific plan, if they have gotten confirmation that final specs for PS5 will be lower than 12 TF, announcing their specs right away gives them positive press now, and potential negative Sony press whenever they confirm. Mind you I am not hoping this will be the case. Just a possibility I recognize.

Ok I’m just going to come out and say it.. I actually thought the mental gymnastics would take a little bit longer, but people in here are already straight up looking at the script for Saw and calling it a romance novel.

Good lord people. It’s there in black and white (and green). All it means is your powerful PS5 will have a competitor that is powerful. It’s ok. You will still get all the stuff you love, the world will still keep turning.

This is the best possible outcome for ALL of us and some of you are in here like you’ve just been told the world is ending next week but it’s already run out of booze.

Party on, bitches x
Lol your ps5.

Done pretending you aren't an xbox fanboy then.

RT reflections is not the most expensive. That would be the ambient occlusion and GI components of the lighting equation.

360 had a top end GPU. Admitted it melted most of them.
IIRC Xenos was ahead of its time on feature set, but not so much on the powerside, the succeeding x1900 by Ati was more powerful, but it came out a few months later. But again, 360 was 399, so.... If XSX it's really that costly, then it might be really a 12 Tflos Rdna MONSTER.





Let me emphasize MONSTER 😳

At this point I really don't see any reason why Sony wont give us the reveal.

Screw doing a live show with the Virus floating around just drop some articles and maybe a State of Play.

Lets do this.

Doesnt this mean tho since MS revealed specs they are confident against What PS5 is capable of?

Erm, I have never made it anything but crystal clear that I favour Xbox over PlayStation. But I Still post without bias and talk facts.

In sorry if my post offended you, but then, that says more about you, does it not? Who was you expecting to be upset right about now? Xbox or playstation fans?

So yes. YOUR PlayStation, because YOU, like several others in here, are currently in meltdown mode. I’m sorry you feel this way. Who exactly do you think would be upset right now? Xbox fans? Fans of both? No. So yes; you playstation fans.

My pre-orders haven’t changed, my currently owned systems haven’t changed. If anything, this just cements that even more.

Im so sorry today has been hard for you 🤣

How can people not grasp that even a legitimate source's information can and will change over time.

As the senior design lead in global marketing for redacted, I can tell you that information being fed down the chain can and will change because there is an incredible amount of moving parts behind the scenes. One of my company's products had its BOM increase this year by 140+ new line items. That is a lot of individual components that can sway not only the cost to the end user but specifics of entire features as well. Something will have to give if expected prices can't be negotiated, upper management has a change of heart and wants to add something else in reaction to a competitor and thus things can get cut down or added to the product team's initial models. We've had to update materials numerous times, only weeks before a launch.

The point I'm trying to make as I ramble on, is that someone could be fed perfectly accurate information from an internal source, only to have that information change without even the sources knowledge. I see this happen all the time; things change and on top of it no matter what kind of corporate culture and work ethic is preached in your organization, people and departments tend to work in silos. That said, always take everything you read with appropriate doses of salt.

Sorry for the lunchtime rant and thanks for the entertainment everyone, I can't wait to play on both of these machines :messenger_savoring:

lower the resolution to 720p, reduce the texture resolution and drawdistance, and remove the particle effects and you have a PS3 game yes.

but again, if this game was also on PS3 the PS4 version would still looks exactly like this. this game would absolutely be possible on PS3.
and if a game is held back, that would mean it is held back because the version that wouldn't be held back would not be able to run on the last gen system... which Second Son absolutely could with reduced graphics.

if we are talking about a game being held back by old hardware we are talking about gamedesign choices that would be impossible on the old systems. and there was not a single Sony studios game on PS4 at launch or in the first year or two that would have been impossible to run on PS3 with reduced graphics

Could it mean (if 56CU rumor is true)

56CU * 2 * 64 * 1700MHz = 12,185 TFlops?
or
56CU * 2 * 64 * 1675Mhz = 12,006 TFlops? (I am leaning toward this as I am sure they squeezed as much power from the console as possible to be able to say they have a 12 TFlops machine)

Navi's sweetspot is 1.7GHz - 1.8GHz. 1.675GHz wouldn't really be squeezing; if anything, it'd be on the more conservative end (i.e there's room to upclock if desired).

And that's RDNA1 btw; RDNA2 has slightly more efficiency so the sweetspot is actually higher than the 1.7 - 1.8GHz range of RDNA1.

It's not been hard for me at all. Classic fanboy logic there.

You have pretended for months you aren't a fanboy of any system hence all the likes of the post.

It makes no difference to me but pretty sad it's taken you confirmation of 12 tflops to out yourself.

I haven't seen a single playstation fan having a melt down to be honest I think your own personal euphoria is making you hallucinate.

Only one side cares about a power difference and it's the one with the inferiority complex.

So where is his meltdown that you're claiming? Who else is in meltdown mode? Why would playstation fans be upset by this news? If anything they're happy since insiders claims both boxes are close in power. You're just trying to console war now it's pretty sad.

Random thought - if PS5 is only 9 TF, then MS dropping their specs might put Sony in an exceptionally tough spot for a few months at least. If they say nothing then the hype train for Series X picks up more and more momentum. But if they are coming in at 9TF, how do they blunt the disparity without talking price? And even if they are confident they will be a lot cheaper, can they really say that this far from launch without making a huge price cut to existing hardware?

Maybe Sony won't talk about power at all and they'll focus on other features.

I was saying that it has the biggest impact on visuals, not performance, but it's still interesting to hear. I've had a chance to mess around with RTX GI in Metro Exodus, but I don't have any games that have RTX AO to my knowledge. Do you know of any games I can test that in?

I need to get Control at some point, since it seems they have the most RTX features in a single package at this time. They do it with a relatively low performance impact, too. In other games I've tried you can see a 30-40% performance hit for just a single feature.

What meltdown are you talking about? Sony haven't revealed their specs yet, for you to say that is really telling...

Meltdown of the well know Sony worshippers is glorious. 9tf incoming. Sony is only waiting for Ms to reveal their price so their console can be cheaper xD

E3 plot twist - MS announces that XBX is available only through All Access, leaving Sony totally confused and unable to determine PS5 retail price, as a result never actually releasing it ;D


That's a PS3 game in everything but the graphics. It does not go beyond what inFAMOUS 2 was doing in terms of open world design, scale, physics, AI, destructible environments, etc.

Truth be told, you can say that about pretty much every single game release during this generation, some even took a huge step backwards.

Not only that, but this game came out in 2014 which was only 1 year into the PS4's lifecycle and even to this day to me it still looks amazing!

If what I heard is true and The PS5 is around 10TF. Look back at this game and other games Sony’s First Party Studios Created this Generation.

Imagine what Sony’s First Party Studios can do with a 10TF, Ray Tracing, Faster Ram and a SSD. SSD alone is a game changer for caching and storing Mega Textures or Tile Resourcing or what ever name you want to give it.

The PS5 will be fine and have a great Library of games. If the worst Case Scenario of the PS5 being 10TF is true.

Instantly insulting with the fanboy stuff, well done. No need for it. Why? Confirmation of 12tf to put myself as what? The only thing I’ve said is that it’s good to be proven right, as in, everything I’ve said has been legit? That makes me a fan boy?

Hey guess what. I’ve also said a lot about PS5 based on a few facts and background details too. If that comes right as well, does that make me a PlayStation fanboy?

I’m having a hard time understanding your logic here mate. I’ve done nothing but talk about the spec of both, talk about the facts, and give what I know. I’ve tried my best to leave fanboy rubbish out of it. I’ve never once said that I don’t side with MS over PlayStation, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a Sony fan. This appear to be a hard thing for some of you to grasp; it’s ok to like both, but both, but like one more.

And as for you not seeing any Sony fans melting down, well... I’m not even sure I can reply to that. YoU should work for Trump 🤣
