So The Medium is launching with Xbox Series X

In an interview with the Polish version of Business Insider, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno said that the goal is to make The Medium 'the hottest game of late 2020' with the help of Platige.
The Medium is launching later this year on PC and Xbox Series X. The developers have explained that it couldn't be done in the same way on current-gen consoles.

This could mean two things, the game is a timed exclusive or Phil Spencer contradicted himself about not having games that can't be played on Xbox One

It's never been a last-gen game.. not sure why you think that's news? It's not a first party game and MS never said anything about 3rd parties and last-gen.. and even beyond that MS recently said they aren't forcing even first party devs to release last gen.

No he’s not. He never said anything about 3rd parties not being able to make next gen only games

I honestly thought this was a second party game, it seems it was just a third party one.

Might know something.

Might just be a placeholder he created so when the news drops he can within seconds have an article up, and he doesn't have any inside scoop. Messed up with the setting on the article, so it got indexed by search engines.

Most interesting thing from the retraced article is " Both consoles will ship on TKDATETK. ".

Yeah but the "both consoles will ship on DATE" thing is a little odd if it's news for today.

Perhaps he knows MS is announcing a date on Thursday, and Sony is to follow?

Here's the google cached content:


I thought the below is more significant in that it seems that this reporter believes or knows Sony will announce the date and price before Microsoft?

After trailing Microsoft and its upcoming PS5-rival Xbox Series X in the news department, with TK's announcement Sony is setting the bar for what to expect when it comes to pricing the next generation of game consoles.
 
Huh?

What makes you think we "know" that? The game was initially announced for Ps3 even years ago.. isn't even published by Microsoft..
Yeah, reading more on it, it does seem third party. My mistake.

Edit: it is self published so I'd say its definitely third party but unlike Blair Witch there has been no mention of it being on other consoles. Time will tell.

Without giving a link to his tweet, Roberto Serrano' is now tweeting "Sony PlayStation PlayStation 5 next event is scheduled for AUGUST 6th 2020 - 1pm PT | 4pm ET | 10pm CEST". I refuse to give the guy clicks after last time, and I definitely take anything he says as BS until proven not BS.

.. So, before, .. pre-orders were going to begin 7/13. Now, the next event will be just over three weeks later and two weeks after MS has their event. .. I dunno.

So that dude is reporting a date of 6th of August which is two weeks from now, I’m not going to comment on his credibility but the date itself seems reasonable, we already know Sony are holding an event in August and the 6th drops on a *Thursday, if true we should get confirmation sometime next week.

The 6th is a Thursday, but they've done events on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's just not a State of Play event if on a Thursday.

Don't know if he is reliable but that 6th August date does seem plausible. We know next State Of Play will be soon after MS event.

We know Ps4 SOC appeared before the Series X SOC and got some major revisions.
So it makes sense they're behind in the feature set.

So the initial Ps5 SOC was based on NAVI and than later changed. I makes sense they could not change the design completely, so they got some RDNA2 features in, but the chip design is not 100% RDNA2

Could we say that either console has “100% RDNA2 chip design”? Or should we consider, based on evidence it seems (correct me if I am wrong of course) that they were both designed with RDNA2 as a basis and then customized from there dependent on the technical needs, goals and/or desires of each company?

It seems to me that the highlighted portion of your message could certainly be applied to both nextgen consoles for sure.

You are correct. He said:

2020-7-17
Phil Spencer Confirms First-Party Exclusives Will Be Cross-Gen For The "Next Couple Of Years"
2020-7-19
Phil Spencer Says First-Party Developers May Decide To Make Their Games Cross-Gen Or Not

Gaming is about entertainment and community and diversion and learning new stories and new perspectives, and I find it completely counter to what gaming is about to say that part of that is to lock people away from being able to experience those games.

The Medium
'the hottest game of late 2020'

Both statements could be true as well, it depends on the release dates of games.
Both statements can be true regardless of game release dates as they could have given their creators the freedom to do what they want and they all decided to do cross gen.

But in the end the way he worded it sounded like a future-tense thing.. "if one came to us".. not that anyone has actually requested that.

But MS are wishy washy as fuck either way.

Sad update about those Playstation gaming stations at Curry's in the UK.

Dismantling PS4 gaming stations.

Have Sony had the PS4 demo units around fairly recently then? In the photo you can see Switch Pro controllers in the background so the photo is from the last 3 years at least, and I've not seen a PS4 demo station in a while!

So apparently RedGamingTech has gotten more inside information on the next-gen consoles, specifically PS5 and he'll be uploading a video in the next few days to reveal. Curious to see what it is.

Also there was rumours a while back when the PS5 heatsink patent was released that the PS5 will be using some sort of 3D stacking, Coreteks also speculated the same thing and believes "Big Navi" will also incorporate the same feature. What does everyone think?

Yeah, I do think he was trying to be too 'smart' in his criticism on certain commercial decisions by Sony and ended up messing up the message.

Im in the U.S. so, I’m not sure about Curry’s or other U.K.retailers but here, Best Buy stores still have them. No where near that nice though.

Wow this early??!!! If it's to be true, i wonder what it will be about?

Maybe showing PS5 dashboard, gameplay of revealed games at the 11 june show, or maybe other games announcement?

We'll see, of course still no guarantee the guy is right, cause last time he was wrong.

It would be such a simple message to convey without all this over stating it.

"We want to support last gen for a bit longer than usual, particularly as we have a lot of recent GamePass subscribers who we want to ease into next gen. We also believe we can provide next-gen versions of cross-gen games that are still amazing experiences, while working on the next-gen only games that we will have ready in the future."

Done.
