Jason Schreier's industry sources: PS5 is superior in ways that Sony has not communicated yet

Please, quoting Jason Schreier on Playstation would be like quoting Blueisviolet for XSX.
He is such a Sony stooge its almost laughable.
Might as well call Kotaku the Official PlayStation Magazine at this point.

Hopefully his sources arnt the same ones who told him the PS5 dev kits were more powerful than the XSX.
He is Tommy Fisher level.
Wow. You have some issues. See a doctor. Your hatred for Schreier is scary. Did he have intercourse with someone you share your DNA with? 👀
It feels like he is your new stepdaddy mom brought home.

Dude, how are you? It's been a while since I've seen you around GAF. Man, they treated you terribly in the speculation thread and you along with R600 were right all along. #RightWasRight
 
Anybody saying that this is the power of the cloudz all over again is an insult to Microsofts attempt to utilize the power of the cloudz because ever since the debacle 2013 presentation, they have had 7 years to invest, perfect, improve, test the cloud/azure platform to be used for XsX. They have a lot more to reveal, and I am sure it will blow the shit out of anything that Sony has to offer.

Nothing will blow the shit out of what Sony has to offer as Xbox Series X' games all have to run on XB1's 1.2tflop GPU, netbook CPU and 5400rpm HDD!! For the first 2 years!!

This weeks been pretty fun to watch......as a 40 year old gamer you actually saw fundamentally different versions of the same game between Atari/amiga/spectrum....Nintendo in the 80s/90s

now these days people are arguing over how much better it will be to load into a game 2seconds faster

my heart weeps

There probably won't be too many PS5 AAA exclusives in that first two years as Sony is usually slow out of the blocks. The actual quote was also "...over the next year, two years...", which could mean 1 year after release.

As gamers we had to go back in order to go forward with both switching to CDs/DVD/BlueRays from cartridge and to flat panel displays from CRT.

One more factor in this 12tf vs 10tf, we don't know if big navi is as efficient as medium, we all remember vega (I'm sure it's not like that but several percent can be lost because of more cu's to feed).

Sony flat out stated that their testing showed their design should be more efficient than a wider slower chip (XsX GPU), the question is how much.

Marketing BS. The answer can be found on PC GPUs where GPUs with 40% more CUs at lower clocks will always beat a GPU with faster clocks.

That's Sonys Job and responsibility to show that effectively with bells, whistles, sparks. They can create any additional PS5 reveal/event anytime anywhere, but their silence is just genius marketing.:pie_eyeroll:

Wrong. PC GPUs being compared are not identical. For example 2080 Ti with lower clock but much higher CUs have a bump in specs across the board compared to higher-clocked 2080s, so the comparison is not valid.

You need to find two GPUs, one with higher clock and less CUs, but identical in every other area, then compare.

You kinda answered your own question and proved me right in your 2080TI and 2080S comparison.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I'm happy with the performance, it don't really matter if it 18% less powerful, with Sony's 1st Party it's still gonna have the best looking games.
And I'm happy with PS4 BC
But, where the fuck is my PSX/PS2/PS3 BC Sony

the thermal throttling that gpu in the ps5 is gonna go through is insane or they will have an even bigger heatsink than the xbsx. Amd gpus run hot and to get the most out of them they throttle themselves alot. My vega 64 runs so much better when its underclocked and under volted.

Let's start some prediction thread for the upcoming gen.

Last time it was faulty HDMI, noisy cooler and poor PSN network service and also the lightbar in DS4.

My prediction for PS5 would be useless screen on DS5, no 8k120fps for hardcore gamers, V design (who cares how a console looks, keep it cold), most likely new PS+ prices because o f the coronavirus.

‐-------------

Just joking. You guys spend whole days discussing meaningless things. Focus on games! We lack new IPs. Please don't dk the remaster gen again. Sony should demand all games beibg patched up before release. No more 100 gb patches day one.

Can we stop giving the "journalists" attention? They were wrong, they still are wrong, they're paid to hype shit up so fanboys soil their undies and buy their shit blindly like they always do. It is sad at this point, and as someone else mentioned, this is becoming extremely dull. They're hyping up absolutely nothing over and over again, they have a weaker machine, and that is that. Focus on their "pro" version and stop paying people off and spamming everything with "Sony Cope" news.

That 18% difference assumes clocks would be standard and not variable. Might be up to 30%.

Also Sony should get a fucking emulator going on already. I don't care about digital, lemme put my old discs in my ps5 and let it play just like that.

Seems like both parties realized this gen wouldn't be a huge leap because it would not be practical. It would cost too much or be physically huge because of the cooling solution or both! So they are trying to make up for it with fast memory. That is why neither machine has the traditional large pool of ram coupled with a large slow hard drive.

It's still a big comprimise now matter how you cut it. Even if it's something as simple as how you store all your games on a rather small SSD, Gonna be a weird generation.
 
No, the CUs, which RT units resides inside, are clocked 400Mhz higher in the PS5.

But I couldnt care less about RT in its current state of developmen.

And I've been consistent with that from the start before you fly at me with accusations of this or that.
Just because the amount of RT hardware is tied to CU count doesn't mean the RT cores themselves are beholden to the GPU's frequency.

Lol This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day. Ignored.
So you ignore people who you can’t argue with? From a completely unbiased perspective you have been pretty aggressive in your defense toward the PS5 and pretty hostile toward differing opinions.

Amusing thread. I don't understand why Xbox fanboys are so insecure lately. 12 is a bigger number than 10, there's nothing to worry about 🤷‍♂️
The entire point of this thread and JS’s tweet was to make those who felt that the PS5 was underpowered to feel secured and their fears invalidated despite the GPU/CPU difference, TF difference and the CUdifference. So honestly your post is spot on if you trade out Xbox for PS, and the TF differences with the SSD differences.


Ok this made me laugh pretty hard now I feel bad for the kid(PS5) :(
Don't forget that their CUs are larger than average too ;)

Don’t forget that they have more CU’s then average. :messenger_relieved:

Ok that last one was intentionally to fuck with you MiyazakiHatesKojima MiyazakiHatesKojima Much love dawg, and my bro, but that PS5 SSD will be a beast and the Xbox Series X is going to look unreal. I’m honestly excited for next gen, might actually try and buy both consoles at launch..

I'm barely paying attention to all this. I did watch the gdc thing... obviously a bit boring, but it was for devs. Just point me in the direction of the console that is made by sony and has spiderman, tlou, and days gone 2 and i'll buy that one.

If that’s the case, they should have conveyed that. I have huge doubts that what he says is true, or they would have put emphasis on that instead of what they did.

Instead they chose to focus on the one advantage they had, and it looks to be over engineered and expensive to me (the SSD.)

Here's some communication.


Jason Schreier at this point is clearly on Sony's payroll in some capacity. It wasn't so obvious before with all the "insider" nonsense, it's abundantly clear now.
Because all the devs are secretly getting boners for +1.8TF? And not for a revolution in real-time data streaming that is the lifeblood of a real-time system?

Hmm...good point

The only developers getting 'boners' and posting this shock and awe nonsense on Twitter and the like are heavily related to Sony, past or present workers, 2nd party studios, people who have partnerships with them etc.

Give me a break...

Explain GDC survey results again? Sony conspiracy? This crusade of yours to prove PS5 is shit and badly designed and unappealing is quite interesting :).

Why is it so difficult to see why they may be excited tho? To me it’s quite obvious the potential on offer. Lack of vision? Barracking for the other team? What is it?

Everyone at GDC is on Sony's payroll!, everyone who is even slightly excited about the PS5 is on Sony's payroll!. Even the people who hate the PS5, believe it or not, on Sony's payroll.

Because the reaction is clearly artificial, it's impressive sure but we've all known for god knows how long now that these system would have NVMe SSD's.

What's worse is these developers and pundits losing their shit on Twitter no doubt already knew exactly what it was specification wise long ago so the rampant Twitter escapades feel super forced.

It cannot possibly be anything other than that... huh? Not that they have been excited all along but had you know NDA’s perhaps? Nope, it is a conspiracy...

It's not a conspiracy, it's fluffing, and it's obvious because the only Twitter feeds any of you seem to post praising the sun about Sony's SSD in particular are heavily related to Sony in one regard or another.

It's fake bullshit and horn tooting.

Sure it is because it is coming from Sony’s side and it is not them begging for Xbox mercy admitting defeat. Back to taking anything Xbox says as gospel shall we?

Could be some of that. Fanboys here, there, everywhere. But much off it could also be genuine, not all are shackled to keeping a low profile so as not to alienate the other side.

My assessment based on simple truths; devs have been technically shackled for generations. This gen represents a paradigm shift of significant substance, and they have every right to be excited.

Keeping in mind, XsX does offer this too. Just nowhere near the competition.

If they were serious about it they would be praising both, flat out, but they're not. It's super one dimensional fluffing for a singular product with motivation behind it. Both are an incredible step forward, both will be lightning fast, and for Microsoft's side there's more going on with the system memory and that wider bus relative to the SSD than just the bandwidth suggests, it's highly intentional.
