Another confirmation of XSX 599$ pricetag


Did MS legitimately mean they'll be competitive on price because they really were talking about Lockhart this whole time? Do we all believe the PS5 (with the disc drive) will also be $599?

Maybe this was the plan before Covid tanked the world economy. But at 599 both are guaranteed to sell a lot less. Max 499 is my bet for the most expensive version.

I might have posted this before but not sure, nevertheless the quote stood out to me, curious to see what this geometry and rendering advantage the PS5 has over Series X and RDNA 2 as well as other information which has not been revealed.

"AMD have been internally testing RDNA 3 for a long time! this is why when I stated that RDNA 3 features are part of the PS5, I was very confident, I am pretty dam sure PS5 does have things like improved geometry handling (over RDNA 2) which is going to be a part of the later AMD roadmap, there are other things as well which I have been asked not to mention" Paul from RGT

well, you can try the venn diagram of people interested in pc, people interested in playstation, and people interested in playstation games.
same thing there.
I don't think horizon and death stranding came to pc as a gateway to playstation hardware. to me it looks more like ...exactly how microsoft found the way to pocket money from pc gamers.
remember, sony and ms pay a lot of money for their fancy studios to make these games.
and I blame neither of those companies for pc. its all good. I'd even say that because sony has royally ...fucked up the enhanced backward compatibility thing, it will be more beneficial for playstation games than for xbox games in the long run.
Well we'll talk more about it when any of your claim is proved or disproved because as of now we barely know anything about enhanced backward compatibility nor was it relevant in anyway to what I was saying.
Because I'd like to understand how you gro from - sure Pc can make a dent in hardware but will recoup in software.
to
-they pay a lot for their studios and sony fucked up their BC.
Please explain to me what happenned in your brain to connect those subject together ?
Because in all honesty it feels more a "yeah but but no let's bash sony on a totally unrelated subject"
Because all you are doing is speculating with baseless assumptions there.

I feel like I missed something... $69???

Edit: Of course, this is Activision we’re talking about here.

Is that expensive?

Games have been 69€ looong time, some are 59€ but most 69€. Which is around 82$.

59$ is 49€ so US have had 20€ cheaper games for a gen, you should be Happy :p

69$ is still better than 82$.

And I have no idea if US gets tax addes in those, it should be in the price or there is no point to compare stuff

We pay taxes on top usually. For me a $70 game is $75 after tax roughly

Based on this german outlet, we´re about to get a very disappointed if the claims are to believe.

According to this editor of Gamestar (YT channel), the next gen features of Cyberpunk 2077 like Raytracing and others have been postponed to 2021!

We´re just getting
"a normal, non ngen feature rich"
PS4 version on PS5.

CD Projekt Red already confirmed this months ago. They said the real next-gen upgrade is coming around March 2021. Launch Version is just a backwards compatible version you can play. Higher res and frames only I guess.

thanks, was not aware of this. :(

Next week is Ubisoft and Cod. The week after is Sony Xperia. The week after is TGS20. That’s September for you.

yeah sure, but I still don’t see a big problem and keep this in mind:

Don't blame HeisenbergFX4 HeisenbergFX4 . Technically the announcement of the "event" could be today Friday (without specifying time zone). That does not mean that it necessarily has to be the announcement of the "event" today. What should be certain is that the "event" should be before the end of next week. And at the moment I do not know that they have postponed it (that they could do it, but it would be illogical, for one thing in particular, although this parenthesis is only my opinion). MS is waiting to see what price PS5 sells for. And Sony is in no rush or need to show it off.

I really thought we would have heard something this week and still may its 2:30 est now for me as I still think they want this show next week.

And I agree with your parenthesis opinion.

Edit to add these are opinions of this user and do not reflect on anyone else thoughts.

what I wrote was pretty self-explanatory. let me break it down for you.

- exactly the same venn diagram than makes sense for microsoft, makes sense for sony too,
it doesnt take a genius to figure it out.
- AAA first party studios are very expensive, their location and personnel is a fixed cost greater than what you probably think. If they can recoup this big investment by selling twice as much or even in half time, that is a big success.
- you think death stranding and horizon were released as "lures" for playstation hardware,
well I challenge you to find me even ONE non-console pc owner that said: "wow this motherfucking horizon! I'm buying a playstation now!"
- I said -not for the first time- that in my opinion sony is testing the pc waters and is gathering some metrics, while slowly they will "arm" their studios to be able to develop and test for pc concurrently. that's no small task, it took microsoft's first parties years!
- finally, I said that playstation games coming to pc is a PLUS for playstation owners, because sony has proven to be INCAPABLE of doing backwards compatibility like microsoft. and yes, I've seen the "patents" flying around every time disappointment rises. I am pretty sure though that when ps5 is fully revealed, nothing more than what we already know will have been achieved on b/c.
therefore, mid-longterm its a plus for you that all sony games on pc will be playable for ever, taking advantage of pc h/w progress, because on sony hardware that's a pretty massive question mark.

Memory bandwidth on PS5. You'd think it's not enough for console, but there's some things that might prevent games from bandwidth starving. Things like delta color compression saves bandwidth. RGT talked about PS5's GPU "robust caching system", which can also help with this. And I suppose RDNA 3 Geometry Engine, which RGT also talked about, it does not process geometry which is not appearing in the frame. This saves GPU resourses and memory bandwidth as well, did I understand correctly?

Also take into account that it's probably a prerecorded event so they can drop it whenever they feel like it. In the last they would have shows on stage but those had to be planned ahead so it's not easy for them to shift those dates around.
