PlayStation 5 Reveal on June 4th Postponed

Dude, let's make it simple.
English is not my native language, therfore the elaboration.
Then I apologize, I thought you were obtuse on purpose.

A black dude told me just yesterday that I cannot possibly understand his/their problems, therefor I should shut my mouth.

I as a white dude have surely experienced discrimination within some cultures and some circles even in my home country but also abroad.

To propose that I cannot understand the problems of POC is denying the theory of mind, which also denies the possibility of empathy in general, which is kinda... silly.

I can agree with that.
Definitely not saying that what the other guy said is right.

It's just that theory of mind can give you a general idea, but there are some things that you need to experience day in day out (so to speak) to fully understand.
The tricky thing with racism is that most of it is extremely subtle and sometimes can be a matter of misinterpetation.

If you look at isolated cases, or instances, it might seem exaggerated looking at it from outside the target demographic, but it becomes apparant when it happens over and over an over.

That's one of the issues with the whole discussion.
Part of users in here are completely focussed on George Floyd rn, when his case is nothing but a trigger that highlights the underlying issue.

Yes, I see what you mean. Agreed.

Yes, casual racism is a tricky thing. Sometimes it is used in a naive and humorous way (ok) , sometimes it's deliberately mean (not ok).

Part of users in here are completely focussed on George Floyd rn, when his case is nothing but a trigger that highlights the underlying issue.

Yes there are obvious denial-idiots in every given group. But that's not the real issue here, at least as I see it as from outside.

The issue is: Are we talking about institutionalized, systematic racism or casual, spontanious, individualistic racism. And also if randomized violance in the streets is a adequate and justifiable answer to all this problems.

I hope you guys find a solution to this mess soon enough. I wish you well.

The shitty thing is that the rest of the world has to wait... No offense.

Why do you care?

Sony are being called woke leftist hypocrites and what not, for simply stating that protests against police brutality are more important than a gaming event. That indicates, to me anyway, that there are a bunch of, if not alt-right, at least very right wing oriented people here.

Yeah, saying neogaf is full of alt-right ass hats is an exaggeration, but Jesus fucking Christ, does everything have to be literal?!
Pretty much, because alt-right accusations are nothing more than hysteria and disingenuous.

I was very frustrated by this news (since the Series X already has a physical console reveal) because I wanted to see PS5 information on my vacation but I would much rather focus on black lives at the moment.

Delusions that PS5 launch games will show a generational leap in visuals, despite the mid gen refresh. In other words, if youre expecting visuals better than Death Stranding at 4K/60, you'll be disappointed.
Yeah, the UE5 tech-demo begs to differ.

The protests in the US aren't even just about George Floyd anymore.
It's about racism as a whole. George Floyd just pushed everything over the edge.

And the looting is partly a result of all the other stuff going on. The lockdowns due to corona, the recession, unenployment, the massive gap between rich and poor. Things aren't black and white.

Besides, I think a lot of us would at least contemplate looting during riots like we see in the US rn, if unenployed with no end in sight and a family to feed.
I know I would.
People eat 4K TVs and sneakers?

So no treating everyone equally, we are still going to identify people and assess privilege level by skin color. That translates into: 'black people have less privilege so we have to treat them differently to show that we recognize that privilege'.

Nonsense, The only road to equality is to treat people equally. You even justified the white hate in your post.
I'm not for white hate, what I am saying is this.

In America:
White people have privilege.
People are also racist to white people because of said privilege.
Even if people hate white people, they still have privilege.

That's just how it is in the minds of some if not most people. I'm not for it or against it, i'm just explaining it, I hate identity politics and don't want to be assigned to any group, either left or right.

Now then if you think there is no white privilege that's something else, I'm not gonna argue that because that's all based on perception and the person arguing for it. I'm not here to change minds, I'm here to explain a point of view some people have. If it sounds like I am for it then I'm sorry but you read my post wrong, or I may have needed to clarify. Now then this is off topic. If you want to continue DM please. Personally my point of view is, I just wanna play games, but I understand the nature of our consumerist world.

Otherwise, I just wanna see when the new date for PS5 reveal will be. And drink some wine as I wait patiently.

How is that not possible?

When the PS4 launched we had Killzone ShadowFall which showed a generational leap in visuals.

I don't see why launch titles have to look like last gen games.
You missed my point. The leap from PS4 to PS5 will be there. However, we don't care about base PS4. PS4 Pro and XB1X are the bar. There wont be a big leap from Pro to 5 with launch games.

Pro is just PS4 games with increased resolution and little else. Launch titles that are designed to take advantage of the PS5s hardware will show a generational leap.

Sony will have their event soon so we will see what happens.

Gaf and Resetera are two sides of the same coin.

Not really the same and I post on both. GAF is more relaxed in term of moderation and you can express your opinion even it’s against the majority, if done in a non hostile manner. I believe GAF mods have a more open mind in that regard. I can’t say the same about Era. I’m not banned there but I try to avoid those conversations on there because I can probably get banned for expressing a very different opinion against the group think regarding sensitive issues.

I'm not talking about the moderation though.

Some people have the privilege of being racist to others without being called out for it. Those people even go as far as to say 'you can't be racist against <the group they are hating on>' and most people accept that.

That's the thing, isn't it.

These dudes are so serious they will bann you for silly humor. Neogaf can sometimes be really harsh, but the humor is hillarious!

I got warned for using the term "thot" in a neutral manner. I got banned for saying that some gamers have battered spouse syndrome. Its Reddit-style SJW moderation at its finest. That place is a social authoritarian shithole and I only post on the gaming side. I can only imagine that the politics forum is a big liberal circlejerk.

Rarely do launch games do this. That's why I mentioned them. People have these unrealistic expectations for these launch games.

Knowing that this was supposed to be tomorrow sucks real bad but i understand why it needed to be postponed. Hopefully it won't be too long before another date is set.

I have a feeling that once the ball gets rolling, we will be getting more frequent updates since a lot of stuff have been pushed back so far already.

Killzone Shadowfall looked like nothing else on the market, and so did Ryse on the Xbox's side.
Infamous Second Son also came soon after, and plenty of visually impressive games were present at launch events.

Yeah, the UE5 tech-demo begs to differ.

With the quality shown in the demo? Fuck yeah, shits all over what's being done on current-gen.

not really, its super empty, no NPC, no trees, nothing much going on there. corridor and narrow design.

If we would see something like GTA V then it would be great, but do you really want to play a game like that where everything is so empty? No NPCs? No Life? only similar textres? No trees etc.?

Just wait until the PS5 event then. You'll have a meltdown, calling it now.

Again, we compared these games with PS3 and 360 games. PS5 and Series X games will be compared with One X and Pro games. Will those launch games really pop next to TLOU2 and GoT?

The only exception to this is if Sony shows off the SSD working with real games and not tech demos. But I really don't expect that until summer 2021.
 
This was one of the only things that could have actually made this shitty year have some normalcy and bring some togetherness. With the way things are going this shit is gonna be pushed back indefinitely. Thanks Sony!

yeah. Just look at RDR2 In 4K on Xbox One X. It’s looks crazy.
even the ue5 demo doesn’t look that much better, I mean it’s only 1440p, not even native 4K. The demo looked blurry on my 77 inch tv.

Of course on a small iPhone screen you won’t see it. But watch the demo on A huge tv and you will notice it easily.

The tech demo took a couple dozen people six months, while Sony has teams of hundreds that have been working on PS5 for years.

Like it happened with the UE4 tech demo, there's no reason to believe games won't outshine it by launch.

Do people really think there's anyone in a position of leadership at these mega-corporations in America today which aren't SJW True Believers? The skeptics get filtered out way before they can get there. If you're not an owner you're not gonna afford independent thought expressed out loud, and perhaps not even then.

Ultimately this is America at large, and Woke is the new religion. Sure, rural areas have some stragglers who don't deal with this BS much but they also have no cultural (or other) influence. This is the new normal, enjoy the ride. 🤡

We hear this same song every generation and yet we will get a big leap just like we always do :)

But yeah just not at 4K 60FPS, the big leaps will come from the 4K 30FPS games

1440p 30fps, no AI onscreen. That means those numbers will go do once AI and real gameplay is added, more calculations. Or the demo's fidelity will be decreased.
From what I understood, the demo pushed much more than what'll be needed.
UE5 is also still in development and will be designed with PS5 in mind.

Anyway, I feel sorry for you if you take issue with 1440p/30fps.
Suck to be you then.

So there was combat and AI onscreen? Where?
Visually/technically.


Where did I say I took issue with that? Developers push resolution over all else, they've proven that.
Then it's a bit weird to use the resolution and framerate as a counter to the visual quality which is a league above current-gen.

And Sony can always opt for 4k CB, if they want to push resolution while saving power.

Supposedly.

The visual quality means little because we're not looking at an actual game at all. It's a tech demo with no UI or combat running at barebones resolutions standards and framerates for the X1X, much less the PS5 or XSX. They'll definitely drop a lot of those features to hit the magic 4k or even CB 4k. It's just what consoles developers do. Not just that, a shift is occurring where framerate seems to be just as important, so 60fps could be targeted far more, so it'll drop even further.

Time will tell. I think you'll be surprised, especially once Sony's 1st party will show their games.
