Doing damage control rn, PS5 better be at least $100 cheaper than next box

You are alive!?!??!!? Welcome back.

 

[Apollo Helios]

Shit what if SPUs for audio can also work for PS3 BC?

 

[GeorgPrime]

Doesnt matter what people say. The bitter truth is that sony and nintendo will be the only competition in console gaming .

Microsoft still trying to beat Stadia

 

[Kazekage1981]

RDNA 2 with cells SPU for sound. hmm..

 

[SegaSnatcher]

not going to happen. it may have less TFs, but that is not making it cheaper.. the SSD they are using is crazy expensive

If PS5 is $499 they are going lose a lot of marketshare.

 

[Ani Pneuma]

I'm not a tech guy but it does suck that backwards compatibility isn't as grand as I was hoping. I hope I can play DMC 5 on it, shoutout to the cardboard cut out audience taking notes though.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

This was going to be a technical presentation. Anybody expecting games should be ready to not get that expectation met.

Maybe. But unlikely.

 

[Filippos]

EXTREMELY skeptical by what he said about variable frequency in addition to power consumption. The idea is fine in theory, but you leave it open to interpretation what the base clocks are. Also, I have no doubt, all this overclocking was to get closer to Series X spec. This machine was not designed from the ground up to be this powerful.

I need to see the retail unit and how hot/noisy it runs, not convinced by the pitch so far. Plenty to do from here on Sony.

yup.. I guess it was something like 9 TF and to be closer to xbox they did this.. oh this will be interesting. loud AF consoles and maybe a RROD#2 xD

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Deadspace Hype!

Deadspace, a game that you won't be able to play on your PS5 because there's no BC... This showing is a joke.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

On the plus side for all you budget gamers, PS5 might be $400 after all.

 

[Aceofspades]

Cell SPUs !!!!

 

[Sosokrates]

36 RDNA2 CUs = 58 PS4 CUs means bigger die than SeX, these CUs on PS5 are extremely customized

 

[Shizumapower]

Audio is much bigger deal than you know. Especially with good headphones or surround.

 

[Coolwhhip]

This sounds boring.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

The I/O throughput and uniquely short loading times is extremely exciting, but I fear it's only going to be fully take advantage of in exclusive titles. No 3rd party is going to risk splitting how they develop games to accommodate the PS5's unique technology for multi-platform games. That's fine for me, since I only care about the exclusives and will be playing any multi-platform stuff on PC, but I fear it means the PS5 is going to be at a disadvantage compared to the XSX when it comes to 3rd party stuff. I guess if they come in at a $100 cheaper price point, then it won't matter anyway.

 

[LostDonkey]

It's still gonna be a beast come on look what they did with PS4

 

[Caffeine]

Shit what if SPUs for audio can also work for PS3 BC?

what ps3 bc lol

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I won't be shocked if Cearny quietly leaves Sony in the next 16-24 months.

 

[EviLore]

5,000 sound sources viable, convolution reverb

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Cerny has spent more time on SSD and 3D audio than anything else combined.

Who knew every gamer and developer cared that much about sound. lol

 

[ResilientBanana]

Audio is much bigger deal than you know. Especially with good headphones or surround.

This sounds boring.

These go together.

 

[Forsete]

3D audio sounds very interesting.

 

[Shizumapower]

This sounds boring.

Not in 3D audio

 

[Mista]

It was the I/O throughput and loading times. You're not going to see games designed with that in mind on PC for a long while.

Yes but the XsX has it also. Was expecting something unique to the PS5 only

 

[McCheese]

Most folks are happy with mp3 audio, a bit nervous they've put too much focus on audio and not enough on raw GPU power.

 

[48086]

Doesnt matter what people say. The bitter truth is that sony and nintendo will be the only competition in console gaming .

Microsoft still trying to beat Stadia

Lol, you need a break man. Might think about going outside and smelling the fresh ari.

 

[Kazekage1981]

So Tommy Fischer got PS5 totally wrong. The GitHub was spot on except for the frequency/speed.

 

[Handy Fake]

I suspect that the other stuff here is specifically designed to make up the GPU speed. Not that I'm complaining, this has been a fascinating talk.

Is that the going price for 1.7TF these days?

 

[Arun1910]

Oh shit. Thanks. I didnt think IGN would have a spec sheet already. I was writing them down as I go!

Looks like the only advantage of PS5 is SSD bandwidth at about double the speed of SeX's SSD.

Everything else is worse.

Slightly worse... on paper. Lots of variables could close that gap.

Go smell some fresh air

 

[Entroyp]

The problem with the SSD I have is, that the xbox ssd is 2.4 GB/s always, while this seems more to be max speed (varible like the other specs).

Where did he say it was variable?

 

[sublimit]

Zzzzzzz

 

[Xenon]

Why do I feel like a teacher reading an essay that contains very little pertinent information and overly verbose.

 

[LostDonkey]

Cerny has spent more time on SSD and 3D audio than anything else combined.

Who knew every gamer and developer cared that much about sound. lol

And they'll put a one sided earphone in the box

 

[Foamy]

If the 825GB SSD number doesn't include the OS I'm going to laugh my balls off.

 

[p_xavier]

Lol, you need a break man. Might think about going outside and smelling the fresh ari.

We can't because of a virus...

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Yes but the XsX has it also. Was expecting something unique to the PS5 only

Got a link? The only thing I've seen of XSX is Gears 5 loading faster... but not really all that fast.

 

[Sota4077]

So if you went all digital on PS4 you are getting royally fucked over unless those games are the "top 100" that is the most egregious shortcoming of the console imo. That's straight bullshit.

 

[Apollo Helios]

what ps3 bc lol

there isn't bc for ps3 but I was speculating is it forbidden???

 

[Ogbert]

I preferred the Switch reveal when they said the joycons would let me feel frosty ice cubes in my testes.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Am I wrong to be concerned about these variable clock speeds? I guess I get it...but seems like there is room fora lot of performance letdown here

 

[lachesis]

I have high-end sony sound bar... hope it would do well with audio thing.

 

[SentientStone]

I do not understand specs; I need the feels to get me wet.
But if Cell SPUs are confirmed, then Kutaragi's spirit lives so I am good.

 

[Filippos]

If PS5 is $499 they are going lose a lot of marketshare.

just look at the whole reveal.. they are so out of touch with the gamers.. seriously

 

[TriSuit666]

Buh Buh that fella from Kotaku said it was the BESTEST EVAHHH!

 

[joe_zazen]

I felt like this is a major development disaster.

Just like many emotionally unstable fanboys here claiming victory after AMD analyst day stream.

i do think they had to scramble hard to get over ten in order to not look completely outclassed by xsx. PS5 sounds hot and power hungry for any game daring to max out gpu.

Price is the last way for them to be competitive. $399 usd Vs $599, i’ll go cheap as long as the ps5 is quiet...big if. But if they are within $100...well Sony better have more than their tired 3rd person action stuff.


also, congrats github faithful. You were right all along.

 

[Shin]

WoW!
Does my brain believe I'm really there...

What the flying fuck.......?

 

[Caffeine]

speculate away.

We'll only know when we start to have an idea of what a very demanding game is. If launch titles can trigger frequent downclocks that's not good obviously.
