All I know is there's a pre alpha PS5 demo clip, which I've seen it's round 10 seconds long, and has a very eerie background sound track... Definitely Silent Hill vibes. 🤔
So everyone here will shit on it for no game play to be consistent right lol?

Dude youre like flag on the wind.
As someone who remember all your post, your narrative changes everytime something is going wrong in MS camp.
You were hyping Halo infinite, and even MS came to understanding that it was utter shit.

If Xbox would have anything worth playing on launch i would probably will buying both consoles. Because i care about games, not brand and services.
Since you remember all my posts, you'll quickly find them and be able to quote it as a response to this message.
  • Please show me where I was hyping Halo Infinite AFTER MS postponed it (understanding it was "utter shit").
  • Said that XSX isn't powerful or more powerful than the PS5 (that was your previous remark that my focus suddenly is on GP)
  • Or show that I never really cared about GP or praised it in the last 6 months.
Spoiler, you won't find any. Because I know very well what I write, and my position on topics. So you better start quoting so you don't look silly.

ps. And don't kid yourself that you play games, and don't care about systems. That's as realistic as if TimDog would say that.

Obviously the main tech demo will be longer... But as a teaser it looks cool, a photo Realistic forest in my opinion. 🤔

Hm..Could this be related to Heisenberg's last few posts? Or maybe even Foxygamer's (stop laughing!) latest Tweet teases depicting a Van Helsing Werewolf/Lycan and a forest/wood?

Having time is relative, everyone has different standards.
I play 10 hours daily and feel like I don't have enough time.
You gonna be really fucked if you ever end up with a family and kids :messenger_tears_of_joy:

For me its all about looking forward to something and then have no time for it^^ Often I buy games (cheap full price only if I want to support the developers and series) and then I just watch some review videos and never play it. But I also like collecting a lot^^

Those were obviously random amounts. But whatever you want to think man. Have a good evening.

Come on saintjules, you know I was mostly joking! In all seriousness none of us should be screaming I'll pay whatever/take my money to any of these multi-billion and trillion $ companies. Let them compete hard for the HW money at least. They now make billions more per year than ever before on digital/online subs/MTX.

It actually doesn't make sense. When you have time, you want to play good games not 99% garbo fillers games. I don't see why anyone would play Battletoads, Bleeding Edge over TLOU2 or Ghost of Tsushima if you have the time and the option.

This, and this is only for those who play exclusively solo games. A lot of people have their online game to play that always fills a lot of their time already during the periods when there is no new single player they're interested in.

Exactly, he went from prising 12TF to prising GamePass. He's just going with tide of Phils PR bullshit like rest of Xbox fans.

There were none (literally 0) exclusives systemsellers in current generation of xbox.

Nexgent launch year, and probably another year is also empty.

So theyre trying to be happy and positive about what MS is serving them.

Thats not working for me, and shouldnt for any gamer.

I want to play games that are pushing our beloved media further than enything before. Thats why my soul belongs to SONY after this generation, and that was my first SONY console ever because Ive came from x360.

Im there, where gaming is revolutionary.
And making console with strong gpu is just evolution. Im more hyped about adaptive triggers than 18% in favour of GPU power.

PS5 is place where you will have:
-fastest loading machine available on market
- most advanced controller ever made in console
- first party games made by best studios in whole world, almost all of them GOTY contenders

What you won't have
- hundreads of indie games, and some AA/AAA tittles from MS studios of variable quality still 3 years away and some thirdparty AAA for cheap ( right now, but guess what - price only gonna went up with time)
- stronger GPU


Gamepass is like netflix - and i hate that crap. So many things but nothing to play/watch.
I wouldn't go that far, I think there's a lot of people who bought a Xbox for the next Halo/Gears/Forza. I'd really like to play Forza Horizon, but I don't want to buy a console for that and I lost interest in PC gaming long ago. The problem is that aside from these big games, there doesn't seem to be much effort from MS to make better experiences, let's see what they have coming within 2-3 years.

Yeah and the Werewolf/Lycan from the movie Van Helsing he posted at the same time.

Anyone else noticed that September 9th pre-orders for PS5 has been picked up and run with by many people? As far as I can tell it originates with Ironman/Erebus so not sure why this is being picked up now. Maybe he/she finally threw enough crap that something stuck?

Hold on a second, we have ANOTHER inside here? Are you even verified?
I'm absolutely not an insider nor do I have any sources... I'm just saying what I've seen...

However I don't want anyone to lose their job too, especially during this crap we're all experiencing one way or another this year... I just got over excited, and I do apologise to all for shooting my mouth off so to speak by allowing my excitement get the better of me. 😔

Tbh I actually originally saw the PS5 as a 9tflop console until more info came to light.

I'm definitely on the side the PS5 has some RDNA 3 features including the advanced Geometry Engine 🤔

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

So, let me try to follow some logic regarding Gamepass:

If you have very little time to play, Gamepass is a good thing? To pay continually to play something occasionally is better than to pay once evens at full price that I can potentially play as long as I have a system that plays it is better?

If I want to wait to play games post launch, it’s a good value? Perhaps. But, if I were this person, couldn’t I just wait until the games were super cheap on sale and buy several to play whenever over playing a continual fee?

Gamepass May have some great value. It may even become better than it is now. The thing I’ve learned about subscription services where you don’t own something is, titles aren’t there forever. There is no guarantee I can reach back into the library to play whatever.

If you’re the gamer who can wait to play a game post launch, beat it reasonably fast, and want more content consistently... then, as long as Gamepass has content that suits you, ... then Gamepass is the better value.

Gamepass is kinda expensive if you think...

You are paying Gamepass but if Cyberpunk comes out you will stop using Gamepass for a long period of time, maybe 2 months, because you are playing Cyberpunk at that time and there is a high chance you don't care about Gamepass or ANY other game...

You can stop paying Gamepass, but hey, if you do that, Xbox Live Gold now costs 100 dollars minimum, or 120...

So, now I am getting flash backs to old 'insider' posts during Spring, where a forest specifically was mentioned.
Found the thread, it was from Kleegamefan back in October 2019 and he was verified by ZhugeEX.

What he said:

Kleegamefan: The demo I saw had the very best real time graphics I've ever seen. And what I mean by that is it looked like a real game you can play.

Not some super polished UE4 or Unity technical demo that you would see at gdc.

To me, there was no mistaking this for a current generation on PC or console.

To be clear, in terms of scope, lighting and environment dynamics, RDR2 or TLOU2 aren't even in the same time zone as this.

and yeah, it kinda was like a Shadowfall moment to me in that it seemed totally different from what I've been used to in the previous generation.

Now granted, Framerate was maybe 25 to 30-ish and it was early, early,early. But I actually said out loud WTF when I first saw it.

Hugely impressive.

One thing I found really interesting was the quality of the shadows. I especially noticed there were some approx 2-3ft high bushes. When they were swaying in the wind they were casting moving shadows with fucking PERFECT detail. No shimmering or stairstepping at all.

And I am talking about a bush with maybe 75-100 branches and 100s of leaves on it!
Casting. Perfect.Fucking. Shadows.

Keep in mind this was just a random, whateverthefuck bush!

Also

The overall picture quality was astoundingly solid....like it used some super duper AA.

The game is full 2160p, but again, has no shimmering whatsoever. Just a really solid resolve to the graphics.

I'm sorry I can't articulate all this better but it's really hard to explain for some reason.

I mean, you're not wrong here. Kids/Teens have more disposable time and no adult responsibilities, so a library of okay titles might be fine; but as an adult with limited time to play I'd prefer to spend my money to acquire only the high quality shit I'm going to have time to actually play.

Obviously, whether any subscription is a good value depends on the usage and tastes of individual users. Gaming a la carte is not going away any time soon.

I think, overall, my point is Gamepass caters to one group. Those who can wait for content, beat the content reasonably quickly, and need more content which falls into the same category... not necessarily new games, for those who can beat them reasonably quickly to move on to the next.

All the big games launch outside gamepass. Right now GP is great value for hardcore Xbox gamers, and very very subjective value for anyone else.

the quality is bad because the video is uploaded to twitter from a video taken on a phone, it looks very poor quality, but it is the video that says, that underneath it says Pre-Alpha playstation 5, but there is Silent Hill, it can be but can also be something else

I get this but my point is that if he just happened to stumble on this poor quality Twitter post then why say it looked photo-realistic. See what I mean?

Now of course if he comes back here and tells us he's seen this direct-feed then that changes things.

Excellent, thanks! Couldn't remember where I read it :)
Edit: Wow, it's a year ago...
