Since it is just a feature set of RDNA 2 PS5 will be capable of using it. I dont think its been named in their API yet. Like DXR is raytracing in directx 12U. VRS is what its called in Directx 12U.

Sony will most likely use it in VR the most.
And it will be very different from the implementation MS are using.

Thank you for not letting my tongue-in-cheek tone put you off. :)

That's okay, we perceive humor differently. Maybe i dug too deep into this. And i already regret doing so, because it caused backlash and some kind of warring of it's own.
As i said, i don't feel offended/threatened, because I am not even a Xbox owner of any kind. I own only PS4, PC and Switch.
And you are right about why I was concerned, I don't find threads like this a best place to share it.
Let's just move on.

At the end of day i can understand your concerns.

for reference I prefer Sony over Xbox, however i am considering a lockheart for a possible purchase too.
I like this forum due to its good nature and abundance of humour that alot of people have/share

People can take it to far sometimes, sometimes i feel like i do, but i never mean it as spiteful or nefarious in nature.
I think that is the best way to take it.
In the end we are all gamer's and that should unite us.

And now i sound like i am running to be the next President or something, time for me to shut up.
Hopefully you get my point.
Peace

Evening folks, so the mods have been chatting about the future of this and a few other threads in the same vein. Most of the rich details have now been revealed and we are looking to reboot the thread - maybe after the MS 1st party event. We're looking for a few people to overhaul the opening post and make fair cases and summaries for both platforms. Ideally this would be a collaboration between xbox/sony fans or people who are impartial and can do a pretty thorough job in being fair and objective. We realise this is a heavily linked thread so we're not making this decision lightly. It will also ideally serve as an amnesty for the scalps it has claimed, as things went a bit crazy. We thought we'd drop the suggestion here and see what people make of it first though?

It would be nice if it stays as a gaming meta, where general gaming and tech is discussed?

here's my future proof pc to future proof and meet ps5 spec:
12c / 24t cpu

I upgraded to a x570-e Gaming mobo last week. Currently have 3700x CPU but will upgrade to Zen 3 when they come out. Gonna get a 3080 once Nvidia drops the next round. Next-gen rig coming together slowly but steadily

I applaud whoever ends up revamping the thread. Quite an undertaking.

When i am spending over 500 dollars i don't give a fuck what was released on the old consoles that year. That is no excuse if spiderman dlc is really the only big first party title. Maybe one of those games should of been launch PS5 games instead for those paying a premium.
I just wanted to say that it is not highly recommended to hit the chest for the launch lineup without looking back, but well this in the case of Microsoft is already a modus operandi ...

Guys for scaling to be correct in ratio, the camera used for taking pack shots need to be same Megapixel as in resolution, or else the pixel to cm/inch ratio is distorted... and that limits you to scale only within the same picture, so scale each console to USB port and try to guesstimate the size of the unit, BUT do not I repeat DO NOT scale cross pictures, as in put the USB as same size in each picture and try to scale multitude of consoles based on that, it will be wrong!

How wrong you ask? Well look below for real size numbers and HOW it is REPRESENTED if the scaling is done wrong

sizetextnqjwc.png


"Note that PS3 slim, PS4, and PS4 Pro are all actually shorter than Xbox 360, but are shown about the same size or larger. PS3 is smaller than Xbox One, but shown larger. But even worse than this apparent general inflation of PlayStation sizes is the complete lack of a fixed metric. Look at the three consoles on the right. 360 is 40mm taller than its slim version, and only 23mm shorter than its successor. But visually, it's shown as much closer in size to the former. Also, One X is shown larger than 360 even though it's slightly shorter, and so forth."
This is what Liabe Brave has to say on the matter.

He is saying the comparisons inflate the size of ALL PlayStations across generations hmmm I wonder why.....
Look at xbox 360, it needs to be much closer to X1 than Slim version but it stays right in between in (completely wrong) scale....

THAT is how FUD is created.

USB size is a default that you can use within the image to scale things, you can not go across images for scaling unless all of the pictures taken are same resolution-> megapixel and the consoles are set in the exact same distance to camera in the pack shots.

Just look at how PS4 Pro with 29,5 cm tall on its side is supposed to be taller than 31cm tall XSX and try holding your laugh....

Digital Foundry has said that Cerny will invite them to tear down the PlayStation 5. When do you think this will occur? Also, do you think that they'll tear down both versions or just one?
Where did you heard this?

As you say the use of rays are not necessary new what is new is it use is so huge quantity for example now you use rays in engines is for things
like collisions and even in order to make some basic reflections like Decima engine use in this gen.
If anyone here had played Death Stranding, they might have seen this in the bunker, there is a mirror that Sam looks into and takes pics, and here fps tanks because it is using ray traced reflections with no hw accelerators, but on standard Compute Units.
 
The real reason why some Xbox users dont post here anymore is because there are a lot of PS5 good news lately.

And because the 12TF narrative has been totally dissipated:

1. Because it is an artificial argument to measure the real performance of a console, as a lot of REAL devs have pointed out.

2. Because MS, at the moment, did not give their "warriors" any tangible proof to back that "12TF more powerful console ever" statement. Where is the next gen SX gameplay to back that up?

I really hope MS can show something really good in their next event. I know that it is funny to laught at MS or Sony sometimes, but want to see them failing is to have a very short sight in my opinion.

The end user, the regular Joe, gamers in general who pay for their consoles is what it should be really matter for all of us.

A gameplay trailer of Minecraft RT on Xbox hasn't been released yet so you'd better hold your judgement, too.
The XSX has dedicated hardware combined with DXR. I might be jumping the gun but pretty sure that we'll see RT in the games showed in July, and I even dare to say better and more advanced than what we've seen in PS5 games, but that last bit is fanboyism.

Unfortunately. It would be cool if more users where keeping things healthy. People usually don't fight for choosing Netflix over HBO or McDonalds over KFC. Why should it be different for XBOX and Sony.
As a saying goes, once four nations lived in peace...

Not the best examples, let's see what happens in sports and politics...

Oh, and how about PC vs Mac? Android vs iPhone?

I'm actually OK with a thread that is dedicated to all the information that's released from the manufacturers. Alot of people want to have discussions on what's been confirmed and that's difficult to do in this speculation thread since everything tends to get really mixed up here.

However I do recommend keeping this thread open and only for those who truly want to speculate on anything that hasn't really been confirmed yet.
 
On size and cooling for PS5:


According to some recent details, the size is due to an increased need for cooling, among possible other reasons.

When one commenter asked on LinkedIn why the console is so bulky--as spotted by VG247--PlayStation's vice president of UX design Matt MacLaurin replied: "Thermals. This gen is little supercomputers. While the 7nm process delivers amazing heat performance for the power, the power is very extreme."

However, there might be other reasons for the large size. A leaked patent seems to suggest that Sony is building a cartridge that might work with the PS5. Some observers have speculated that it's an external solid-state drive that will slot into the console for memory management, but there's no official word if that's the case. We still don't know how much the PS5 will cost, or the PS5's full line-up of games, but odds are likely that more details will come out over the coming weeks.

Are GT games interesting to casual gamers? By casual i mean those who doesn't usually play racing simulators. is there something besides really cool car physics and realistic tracks? Is everyone plain it competitive in multiplayer rather than single player? Is it fun without a wheel? I am thinking of giving GT Sports a try.
I hope Sony releases something more about Destruction Allstars soon, for now it looks more fun too me, I was always more about far-from-realistic racing games.

Anybody that has the least passion about cars would love GT i would say.

As for the gameplay part, if you're used to games like Burnout or things like that, it's different, but as usual you'll get used to it. I personally found GT gameplay to be the most interesting gameplay in the Car genre, once you understand it and all the tuning features around it's gonna be as french says: "pure caviar"

Motherfuckers. So this is all another FUD tactic? How desperate and sad can these mad Xbox fanboys be.

There was another FUD image being used on REE that I was aware of. Someone had photoshopped the PS5 on its side and put a cutout of the stand underneath it, but made the stand look really small and lowered it so that it looked really horrible as it stuck out.

I don't think that these features of XSX will enable it to produce ray tracing to any impressive degree, considering that XSX could run Minecraft with ray traycing at only 30 frames per second...at 1080p. I think that the XSX will be able to process ray traycing better than the PS5 but not to a degree that is significantly better.
 


here's my future proof pc to future proof and meet ps5 spec:
12c / 24t cpu
11 tflops gpu
24gb ram
nvme ssd

Almost agree in everything I just will add 11 TF of RDNA2 and probably even less in NVIDIA side looks like those
guys will bring a new jump even bigger than we had with Pascal (1000 gen) also I am agree should be little more in
brute force than the number in PS5 for the optimizations or 'bad' possible ports.

My only real worry in recommend something like RTX 2070 super is the VRAM available because I mean the game will use more
than 8 GB in the middle of gen for storage all its assets (used in that moment) and as the streaming space will be reduced this
memory is now more important to be same or bigger than the consoles.

And for the NVME probably most of the games in PC will require in some moment PCIe4 for some AAA or AA because the ram
is much faster but if our games will use 32 or 64 GB of memory of SSD for storage (page file) I don't think many dev will be happy
to deal again with streaming of huge quantities of GB to the RAM.

All of this to have a similar performance to a console (maybe a little better) just wow I really happy to see this ..... meanwhile in
Nintendo thinking if use GPU stronger than the old Xbox one is just too much :lollipop_crying:

of course you don’t give a fuck ..ending the current gen with two big exclusives before launching the new one months away ! Of course you don’t give a fuck .. judging the line up with fail mark while there are so much to reveal ! Of course you don’t give a fuck .. Xbox has no exclusives games first year or two but Sony has more with PS5 ! Of course you don’t give a fuck ..
Considering i will own both over time lol don't mad at me for Sony having a lackluster launch line up so far. GoT or the last of us 2 of made for a great launch title. Just like last generation GT6 should of been a ps4 game. i had a ps4 at launch but you warriors are the best i am only loyal to me and my wallet. I have gotten systems launch day from Sony to 3do. Been there done that so i can judge on what Sony announced as thier only first party launch title.

Uh, no. That's not true at all.

The reason most Xbox fans dont post in this thread anymore is because the specs and features of the Series X have been out for months. Microsoft left very little up to the imagination. Sony on the other hand was very quiet on that front, leaving much to be speculated on. Silence breeds speculation.

Xbox fans were out of this thread long before all of this "good news" was even revealed about the PS5. They didnt just all of a sudden stop coming by recently. It's been like this for months.

This thread has been a Sony discussion thread for a long time. Very often it degenerates into shitposting about the Xbox Discord, Timdog tweets, resetera drama, and just overall shitting on anything Xbox. I've read almost every page of this thread, trying to sift through the trash to find actual nuggets of PS5 info.

It's just not a good place to talk about Xbox. That's why you see a lot of the Xbox news being posted in other threads. Im not complaining because I still check this thread every day, but you're being really disingenuous as to the reasons why there are very few Xbox fans in this thread anymore.

Would be nice to put this thread to rest and reboot it into something where specs and analysis can actually be discussed, and something that leaves all the schoolyard shitposting and meme warring out.

Apollo Helios Apollo Helios , I think it's safe to assume that any inaccuracies are more happenstance than sinister plot. LOL

Using pictures to guess at size is just that, guessing. Just like that 400mm2 chip in the XSX.

It does not look bad at all...

This image comes from the 3D model https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/playstation-5-54810f0b23a441ca93f44a8b06ec937b


H3nEFwr.png

Been looking at this 3D render a lot more, while it looks decent his design on some stuff is a bit off...

The backside of the console is actually much wider than he has rendered and also the white flaps he has protruding way further out than they should.


Hh50DbX.png


Also it looks to me like he has the drive to be way thicker than it should and the way his did the white flaps makes it looks like it has a super popped collar, not to mention that his vents don't even connect to the white flaps when you zoom in.
