Far be it from me to dampen anyone's hype but what makes you so confident in it? Have they actually shown any of the game yet? I'm just not hype for it after both Halo 4 and Halo 5 (campaigns) were very underwhelming. Maybe the reveal will rope me back in.
The games industry has had a hell of a wild week since last Friday.
Who do they think they are. Every expert at neogaf (which means pretty much every user) knows this SSD will only work for an extra second or two faster loadtimes than XSex's SSD. Not anything else, not a big deal.Marvel's Avengers screenshots, the PS5 version:
Look at the insane draw distance!
The article on PlayStation Blog with bold highlights:
I became a serious game development hobbyist when I was a kid and I’ve worked as a professional game developer for the past 18 years. I’m now the Chief Technology Officer at Crystal Dynamics, where I am working with a brilliant and passionate development team on Marvel’s Avengers.
Throughout my life, there has been little that excites me as much as getting my hands on a next-generation video game console — and PS5 is no exception. I have had the tremendous pleasure and privilege of having a PS5 development kit on my desk for some time. When we received our first few kits, I rushed to put an engineering team on the task of creating a PS5 version of Marvel’s Avengers as quickly as possible. I wanted to push Foundation, our proprietary game engine, to its limits on PS5 and see what it could do. Take a look at what we’ve accomplished so far!
PS5 greatly lifts the performance and graphics bar for consoles. The new GPU allows us to increase our texture resolution, push a higher level of detail farther from the player, enhance our ambient occlusion, improve our anisotropic filtering and add a variety of new graphics features such as stochastic screen-space reflections with contact-aware sharpening.
If you’re a technophile like me, you enjoy having a bit of choice in how you leverage your cutting-edge console’s capability. As gamers, we sometimes want every ounce of power put into extra graphics features to achieve the highest image quality possible. For this, Marvel’s Avengers will offer an enhanced graphics mode on PS5. At other times, we want the most fluid gameplay experience possible. For that, Marvel’s Avengers will offer a high framerate mode on PS5, which targets 60 FPS with dynamic 4K resolution.
The GPU and CPU improvements on PS5 are exciting, but even more exciting is the introduction of an ultra-high speed SSD with lightning fast load speeds. This is a transformative improvement in consoles that will reduce load times down to one or two seconds and enable real-time streaming of massive worlds at ridiculously fast speeds. Without any optimization work, the loading and streaming of Marvel’s Avengers improved by an order of magnitude on PS5. When optimization is complete, loading content will be nearly instant, allowing players to seamlessly jump into missions anywhere in the game world. And as Iron Man flies through content-rich levels, higher resolution textures and mesh will stream in instantly, maintaining the highest possible quality all the way to the horizon.
The new PS5 DualSense controller offers advanced haptics and resistance triggers, and the console itself offers enhanced 3D audio and new platform features that allow you to jump straight into the action. We have great ideas on ways to leverage these features in Marvel’s Avengers and are looking forward to seeing our players’ reactions.
At Crystal Dynamics, we are gamers and we have a gamer-first mentality. We want to make it easy for Marvel’s Avengers players to enjoy the additional features PS5 brings to the game. Therefore, we’re happy to announce that when you purchase Marvel’s Avengers for the PS4 platform, either digitally or on disc, and later upgrade to a PS5, you get the PS5 version of the game with all of its enhancements free of charge!
In addition, PS5 gamers can play Marvel’s Avengers online with PS4 gamers, so anyone can upgrade at any time and continue playing with friends on both platforms.
Marvel’s Avengers launches on September 4, 2020 and will be available on PS5 when the console launches Holiday 2020!

You're right, graphics in general (textures and assets) have more problem with budget than the power of the machine. And all of these things you said I agree too. But I think the 60fps narrative is better to them than high fidelity graphics at 30fps. But I don't know, the Halo Infinity graphics are already crazy and at 60fps in 4K is better, than simple do some Reflections RT and target at 30fps. I would expect MS market in DirectML their type of DLSS (which is the most crazy GPU tech in PC I think). Let's see I can't conclude nothing about MS now.
Gameplay wise, movement, shooting etc. Halo 5 was actually amazing, I also liked the story, and multiplayer it's basically top 3 when it comes to fps this gen. Level design single player wasn't that great, and opponents could be more diverse and SMARTER. The AI of teammates also wasn't that good.
Google says that replacing is not possible without new URL being created, but perhaps replacing is allowed for these big companies.
Yeah not really speaking to what would actually be better, just what they'll do.
This seems unlikely to me, since the video would have certainly been uploaded much more in advance by Sony and only made public at the correct time (but processing happens when you upload the video, not when you publish it).

Honestly, in this type of single player games you don't need higher than 30 fps. The game looks great, but characters sometimes look funny in real gameplay section specifically when out in the open levels. The character models improve alot in closed spaces. Reflections are fake but look good enough.I finished TLOU2 yesterday but I'm not going to discuss the game itself, story, etc. because it's offtopic here. However, I'd like to share some findings on the technical side that I noticed while playing:
- ND engine (does it even have a name? I think I've missed it) already uses streaming a lot and, I think, loads only those objects and their textures that are needed in the frustum. For example: I was in a small room (let's say it was a room, to omit spoilers), focusing on objects in front of me (textures were okay) then I turned towards the exit and back, then I noticed a texture pop-up. While I tried to replicate that error, I couldn't repeat it. That'd mean the game shuffles assets all the time, not only when you enter/exit a certain area.
- I haven't noticed any frame drops in game. I tried to turn the camera around, especially in places where you could expect performance drops (like in front of mirrors), couldn't get it. To my eye, the game is rock solid 30 FPS.
- Sound design is phenomenal. There are thousands of different samples that play around you and you can actually listen to enemies not only through the visual "listening mode" but also by yourself. Footsteps on various surfaces differ, rain drops on different materials give different sounds, guns sound incredibly. It was a pleasure to play and great immersion. However, I didn't get the up/down awareness of sound, just the 360 panorama on a plane. I think my setup was wrong (settings in game and headphones with VSS). My headset is a bit malfunctioning right now but I hope it lasts till November so I can get a new one. If anyone can comment on that, please do. Speaking of sound, I noticed something interesting in the game menu. If you scroll down the sound section, there's that last entry which is inactive. Is it waiting for Tempest?
- Graphically speaking, this game is a league of its own. Simply the best animations I've ever seen and the best material implementation (hair looks like hair, fabric looks real, wet concrete walls shine exactly as they should). You can notice a lot of reflections, not only mirrors but various metal surfaces. I think those will be patched into RT for the PS5 version. I also think that this phenomenal texture quality is due to the fact that they're prepared for higher resolution in PS5 and downscaled to be squeezed through the antique HDD.
I'm definitely going to play it again on PS5, with higher difficulty setting (let's hope new CPU will allow enemies to be smarter) and in quality mode. I didn't feel any need for a higher frame rate in this particular game. I think we've seen the last of PS4's capabilities. Time for a change.
That game is also coming to PC. Will it require SSD, tons of RAM or is that just marketing blah blah?
Love the PS5 design
Last year i saw something Similar happened, a recently uploaded (public) video had only 720p 30 fps option available and it took a while to add other qualities.
I havent been keeping up with this thread so sorry if this has been shared once or a few hundred times but if they would come up with something like this I am trading in the white...
reeks of pcmr, i'm gonna puke ;dI havent been keeping up with this thread so sorry if this has been shared once or a few hundred times but if they would come up with something like this I am trading in the white...
Love the PS5 design
Stepped down as creative director due to "family issues."
Last time I checked this is a console thread not PC.
Well that designer dude said we would see PS5's UI very soon, so it could be true.
Tom I would say is far better than a 5 for reliability. It’s possible the surprise Sony event for July he talks about is the same State of Play that Jeff Grubb said was pencilled in for August.

Clear all your viewed history relating to Minecraft. Your welcome
That could be it. There is an 'not interested' option, try thatlol, I don't watch it. But probably due to watching some Xbox (gameplay event, halo infinite) videos. Or did I search for that raytracing demo of it in DF videos made think I'm a fan?
