Kratos and his pet turd?



Gonna be weird to order Krato's son to fling turds at the enemy.

 

[Rusco Da Vino]

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.

Imagine how stupid is to say that I am disingeneous for sharing my point of view about a very subjetive matter in the same post where you share yours.

No time for your BS

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?

I would really appreciate that as long as the OP is beeing updated regulary with facts, postsnippets,videos explaining tech and so on.

Ya know, sony has never shown the right side of this console either I wonder if there is holes for the stand

That's right, but not sure about holes, more like the same stand is used for it horizontally:

I really don't care much, I would've preferred black anyway but I'll be gaming on it not staring at the console. For me, it looks sexy, modern, and premium.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

If something Xbox Series X has beaten PS5 with, it should be "talking".

If you look at the stand standing up it looks like the stand is slotted and the console rests in the middle so to use that stand on a curved surface without it sliding off that side would need to have notches. My Guess is it either says PS5 or Sony with recessed lettering and the stand will lock into the words

Scarlet Nexus devs talking about NG consoles

Big in 2020: Scarlet Nexus is worlds apart from the JRPGs of Bandai Namco's past

Game director Kenji Anabuki invites us into this brainpunk world filled with psychokinetic style and mutated horrors

www.gamesradar.com

Bandai Namco is yet to give Scarlet Nexus a release date, although with the action-RPG in development for PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, PS4, and Xbox One there's still some time to go yet. For now, the creative director is only willing to tease just how Scarlet Nexus will utilise the power of the next-generation consoles.

"Thanks to the high processing powers of the hardware in the next generation, the game will feature high frame-rates, while having very demanding processes related to character representation we wanted to achieve. Moreover, the shortening of loading times will definitely give the player a more immersive game experience than ever before."

Wasn't that the reason the PS2 had it's specific design as well? I'm thinking it was PS2 or the original Playstation that some people had issues with if they put it on carpet.... But yeah, not a great idea to put your electronics on the carpet, for sure.

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.

You warriors! .. oh boy I’m facing you with facts it has nothing to do with fanboys shit war , Sony did more than enough with the end of this gen and the beginning of the new one .. so complaining over something ridiculous like you want all of the exclusives to be day one on launch! That’s beyond impossible .. starting the gen with a big franchise like Spider man it’s something huge .. and you know PlayStation doesn’t make games just for your taste .. it’s for all players around the world and most of them are excited to start PS5 with Spider man new part ..

You can get both systems I don’t care it’s your choice .. I’m not arguing for the sake of shit war , I’m arguing for the sake of seeing the full picture not only what you want to see

I'm ALL IN for this game. I had several characters with 200 or 300+ hours on the original. It will probably own a lot of my time again, especially if they add anything or make changes, which I hear is a possibility.

Yep. Exclusives and great games coming with more systems getting sold. Why throwing out 10 extremely good and expensive games at the start while "only" 4m consoles are sold and they can't reproduce new ones so fast?

If someone don't like that just don't buy consoles at launch.

No time for BS

You really didnt say it like it was just your point of view. Adding that it was just your perspective entirely changes your comment. For example, you could say "from my perspective" before saying "the real reason" since saying its the real reason doesn't come off as a perspective but like you're stating a fact. Again, stuff like that matter-of-factly speaking is what starts some of the back and forth between people.

If that is true and 80 CUs can run at 2.22 Ghz, then that explains Ps5 GPU clock, extra cooling and smaller die....

If 80CUs can reach 2.2Ghz with BigNavi then PS5 is playing safe with the same clock in a 40CUs chip.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

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.

Destruction AllStars looks like something we'll have a blast in it. It's funny and relaxed, something to laugh about it and enjoy! I had lots of fun with Rocket League, and I believe this one might be PlayStation's most successful title! Funny thing when your car gets destroyed you can even fight on foot, lol, until you get your next vehicle: Some screenshots I made, not clean but gives the idea

I think it's the Rocket League/Fortnite big threat if released for free and monetized instead through microtransactions.

See that guy flaying after a nasty hit, the destruction details in this game is insane!

that's bs there's no way 80CU can go at 2055Mhz unless there's freezer on card. just look at xsex 52CU at 1825mhz so in reality 80CU would be around 1600Mhz.

Just wanted to say, folks were trying to sell the narrative that there was no RT on PS5, and now a bunch of games have RT and everyone is quiet about it. Even Spiderman will have RT puddles. Where's the hype about RT???

They moved onto the next fake narrative "meh games don't look impressive" lies upon lies, with tht group it never ends. When thy show a generic looking game on their console of choice though it'll be "omg that is the best looking".

 

[DeepEnigma]

If 80CUs can reach 2.2Ghz with BigNavi then PS5 is playing safe with the same clock in a 40CUs chip.

Cerny even said in the GDC talk that they could have pushed the clocks way higher without issue, that they capped it at that number because the logic could not keep up with the clock speed.

I think we will see a lot of paradigm shifts in how the logic is written going forward as I/O and clocks increase.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Well, nothing on the level of what PS5 has shown to date, so it's the most powerful gaming device out there until proven otherwise, which is unlikely. Hence, the Xbox June event runaway. I can't wait for xbox event in July!

Destruction All-Stars is a mix of Destruction Derby and Fortnite IMHO. Sony going after those MTX billions.
I hope it will be F2P, and not require PS+.

It'll definitely be PS+ required, but that will make more sense to have PS+ if it's included, then maybe have offline training or tuning and small game if you don't have PS+.

More details on Hitman 3 over on IOI's site

Owners of Hitman 1 & 2 Will Be Able To Play From Hitman 3

Current owners of Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 will be able to load their levels and progress into Hitman 3. Hitman 3 will be the final game in the trilogy.

Free to play games not required PS+... If Sony decides to make this their Fornite, meaning all people with a PS5 can have access to it... It can be an incredible challenge but if it a success, buying the console will be a most for a lot of parents...

Nah f2p games aren't ps plus required now so I doubt it. Sony will keep tht trend if it's f2p.

Yea I don't want to derail either so I'll end it here, but you may have good experiences with the surface, but part of my job involves physically repairing computer hardware. I've seen more surfaces fail than any other laptop including budget toshiba ones. My own experience has these as being pieces of shit but you may have had great luck and never experienced any hardware failures with them, and that's cool too.

The reason over 20 million people participated in Fortnites event yesterday, in 2020, more than 3 years after release, is because it's got a killer gameplay loop.

What about Distruction All Stars makes you compare it to the most played game of the generation?

Easy there, you are making it sound like comparing Fortnite to anything else is a sin or something.
They are clearly trying to mimic the art style somewhat, and are clearly going to flood it with cosmetics. Just look at the trailer.
