March 31 is Tuesday its exactly same time frame between wired article 1 and 2(175 days later)

Maybe we get a wired article on that day about specs? Or few info and a date for online ps meeting

Your line of thought have merits but I like to think wired article will come out next Tuesday 10... I have reasons for that (not insider reasons of course) ... ok more wishfull thinking if I think about it :messenger_crystal_ball:

Regarding XSX, one thing I really hope they do is make their controllers less noisy. My xbone controllers are so loud at night they're too annoying. My wife complains all the time tells me the noise does her head in and asks if I can do something about it. She even moved to the other room!
The DualShock 4 is not exactly silent either. Controller have buttons, and those things will always make some noise.

Okay, let's just pretend the PS5 has been delayed say 6 months, would that matter to anyone... With the games still to be released on the PS4?

And the fact Sony could take advantage of the delay to improve the the console further.

Glad you liked my comment, this is why I see those GitHub leak extremists look really delusional (in my opinion of course).

I don't understand that point of view, especialy with most people saying they want the competitors to deliver products that are so close that you can buy either without seeing any diference. So you want competition but not too much, so we don't lose a competitor ?
Online gaming was a thing before MS came into the game, and it would have most likely been a thing without them.

We could consider that Steam has been in monopoly state for a long period of time, yet they added many features to their service for free ( more like the 30% they take on what they sell ).
Monopoly has less to do with innovation than it has to do with economic domination.
There would be no issue at all with a 12tf vs 20tf unless the 20tf is cheaper or at the same price as the 12tf, and even then it depends if the one really fucking with the customer is not the 12tf being overpriced.
Let the competition happens on the software front, not the hardware. Equal hardware == no PR bragging, no least common denominator, no parity clause holding one back, just talent and budget.

I'm a firm believer that both consoles are fairly even but if Xbox releases XSX and Ps5 gets delayed. I start to think was it 9.2 tf.

I think we should get over this since it was already established here and on other forms that a 40 CU 2GHz GPU (Navi-RDNA1) doesn't make any sense.

I mean looking back at how the PS4 devkit developed, we can clearly see how the CPU for instance changed drastically, and memory configuration too. Also the leak from github was for testing purposes and this was clear, testing for what? We dont know.

At any rate we should not get ourselves too much into this thin thread of a leak given that consoles are planned ahead of time and by this point the specs are locked.

If we go by the number of leakers/insiders though, most of them have already denied the github leak being as accurate as we thought for the PS5

Appreciate that. Honestly, we do our best and you know I just share what I think on any subject. I'm not really hardcore into any of the current machines, to be honest, my real love remains focused on older platforms - especially older Sega machines. That's where I spend most of my gaming money + free-time, at least.

Either way, with all this virus shit has only further increased anxiety for me (was always an issue but it's increased now) and I kinda feel like none of this console war shit even matters anymore. It's really changed my whole viewpoint on it. So, for those watching, take things as you like but try to not take it too seriously. It's just not that important.

The thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was digital foundry saying the github leak INTERPRETATION was backed up by your own sources. Richard said that.

There was no possibility in the DF video that if 9.2 TF was just a BC mode and likely more CU in final retail silicon or indeed the github tests.

And according to most leaks on here and dev comments on era 9.2 TF was not in right ballpark, but your source went against all of this. Was your source Colbert or Timdog ? /s

You can be sure some Sony fans are continuing 9.2tf talk when they actually think it will be more powerful than XSX, so when the ps5 announcement happens and cerny announces "13.2tflops" they can all act like it's a "8gb gddr5" moment.

Truth be told it will be pretty lame if Sony have held out just for a 10% GPU advantage.

My take is Sony probably want to show the Ps5 with ray traced 4K60 demos and do it when the software is ready to show, as its better than a paper showing.

Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers peaked at 77 decibels, while the Wii U gamepad peaked higher at 80 decibels. The Xbox One's d-pad proved to be the loudest aspect of the controller, while the PlayStation 4's shoulder and face buttons were its noisiest culprits.

Maybe not on this forum, but I'm pretty sure some people in other forums are using these tactics.

There just so thirsty for a one upmanship moment. Some fans are crazy, take this stuff to far.
Hmm … well, we did have CameFromNearFuture posing as a heart-stricken X-Bot in order to make the X fans look like tools, so maybe you got a point. Stupidity will worm its way into this as well.

I'm play on both PS4 and x1, but I'm not going to lie I hope XsX is more powerful, just to see the tears from the crazy Sony fanboys at the other place, sure theres some crazy Xbox fanboys too, but at the other place the Sony fandom is deranged. I always hope XsX is more powerful because gamepass is a must for me, I guess if PS5 is more powerful it won't make to much difference in 3rd party games but my inner nerd has like an OCD about playing multiplats on the most powerful console.

I'm also kinda hoping PS5 is $399 so I can get an XSX at launch as my main console and get a PS5 when it's first naughty dog game comes out.

A 10% Delta could change due to clock adjustments, so makes sense to be silent for a while.

Hell, no. I'm not wishing one console is grossly inferior from the other just for the salt. I place my entertainment above pettiness, and I want both consoles to be amazingly powerful, and 99% equal in horsepower.

From I *am* hoping however, is that Lockheart will go fuck itself into a corner and never be made a reality.

This cannot be true. The two controllers are with me right now and my DS4 really is silent. In fact the dpad, triggers and bumpers are almost silent. The DS4 is mushier than my Xbones. Xbone too clicky and loud. And man is the vibration annoyingly loud and tinny.

I like the idea of the Lockhartconcept and I think it will help Xbox be more successful which = more and better games. So I'm all for it.
And when you put it like that about the pettiness of me wishing console power because of wanting one side to be salty is very immature, I guess I should stay away from these people, they do me know good, especially when there shenanigans goes unchecked and they form a mob.

just made a quick test and ds4 triggers are much louder than xbone game pad, face buttons are ”clicky“ on both with similar noise levels, none of the controllers cannot be considered loud imo
 
*If* the PS5 does suffer a delay, I don't believe for a second it was because it was 9.2TF.

The virus is a big concern right now worldwide, with the potential to continue to disrupt public events and slow manufacturing for a good while. I worry immensely about what it could cause, as it has slowed down my current job pretty significantly.

I took this new job as a favor to a friend, who is heir to the company itself. I worry the economic impact may cause some layoffs, which puts me squarely in LIFO territory(last in, first out) and I doubt even he could save me from that.

I've started to look elsewhere because I can't have my family be at risk if things go south.

I firmly believe shortages are coming for both consoles, unless manufacturing is/was diverted to elsewhere and even then could still be a problem.

If it ends up like

PS5
$499
13TF RDNA2
16GB RAM
8CORE ZEN2 3.2GHZ
1TB SSD 5GB/S

XSX
$499
12TF RDNA2
16GB RAM
8 CORE ZEN2 3.2GHZ
1TB SSD 4GB/S

LOCKHART
$299
4.6TF RDNA2
12GB RAM
8 CORE ZEN2 2.8GHZ
1TB SSD 4GB/S

Then Sony will be putting themselves at a major price disadvantage, anyone who disagrees with this has to be pretty delusional.

Thanks! This is interesting as we're trying to think of such things - what makes sense to cover next-gen? We're looking at new ways to handle resolution as well - in a more visual way. Maybe latency is something too? We'll see what is possible but loading makes sense. I assume everything will be very fast, though, if they're using such fast storage.

Are you guys going to make a video about RDNA 2 on PS5?

I dont really get why you guys are ignoring this topic so far.

I don't like the click of Xbox controller buttons, either. It feels like you have less control over presses. Reminds me of cheap keyboards versus Logitech stuff. I recently beat Ori and the Blind Forest (great game, by the way) and after certain demanding boss sections my fingertips got numb. I've never had this problem with DS. Who thought that convex buttons would be a good idea?

Glad to see you here. Have you get a Master System 3?

I can try bring one with me as for my travel if you wish, just PM me.

No, this is just one possible scenario, based on insiders like Klee, Osirisblack, Tommy knockers etc

which strangely enough only became a thing after the 12TF announcement from Microsoft.
before that most people said both are 10TF at best.
weird how that changed now where 12TF, the number that was ludicrously high before is now the baseline.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

You can get fucked if your going to talk to me in this toxic and negative tone, you are clearly some stupid child, because in the "grown up" world people don't talk to people in the way you just did.

^ I'm just the opposite, I love the feel of the X1 controller and can't stand the layout and flimsy feel of the DS4. All personal preference, they both get the job done.

I hope Sony always has competitors to keep them on their toes. I don't think a market exists in which a complete lack of competition does not result in price gouging or stagnation.
