A azertydu91 where you at, not seen you in a while.

24 hours m8, what you looking forward to the most, what's on your wish list?
Yeah dude been a bit sick and God od War Ragnarok of course, other than that gameplay for Spiderman and a few other games.

But with those events I always try to get my expectations in check, low hope prevents disapointments.

Sorry if I'm not hyping you as much as others here.
 
It'll be clear by the reveal of AMD's new cards, what set of features are there and what's missing. The CU's are definitely RDNA2-based though.

Yes, customization will differentiate the gpus of both consoles. The most important part, and what really is conflated by those with a particular agenda, is that both consoles are using the same fab node and carry the perf/watt benefits of the rdna 2 architecture.

So even though I'm 99.99% the xsx would be considered rdna 2, I find it very strange that they would namedrop Zen 2 specifically for the CPU and just call rdna for the GPU. Someone at Microsoft should be having a really uncomfortable meeting for this oversight.

I said months ago that new RDNA2 cards will use stacked design with 36/40 and 72/80CU's, meaning the Xbox Series X is, by design, not an RDNA 2 design. Now, what matters are the CU's and the underlying tech, which of course will be RDNA 2. Thing is, those saying the 36Cu PS5 was RDNA 1 need a good shake up because the tables are turning more and more on their BS argument.

Both are RDNA 2, both have their own exclusive Tech, the PS5 is likely using the Standard RNDA CU layout, the Xbox is not. That's all.

Vague AF. Bad quality how? Shitty sodder job? The variable clocks being extra variable? Heat issues? What is it don't make us guess

I mean seriously does anyone else read this quote and wonder? It reads like something out of the Sun! 'The SoC's yield has slumped to around 50%' So started higher and went down!?

But wait....The very next sentence: 'yields were on an improving trend' So now going back up! Sounds like a roller-coaster.

Sorry, but I can't take this reporter seriously.

That 100% has to be an oversight, there's no way Microsoft are that stupid. I know they hired Greenberg to head their Marketing dpt, but still...

Of course the xsx has to be running rdna 2 architecture.

Probably a deliberate attempt to avoid putting a number on anything (maybe they feel Sony is going to mention some RDNA 3 feature). I'm honestly surprised that they left the reference to Zen 2 on the official page. Why not just "latest Zen technology". These consoles are long-term products, why brand yourself with numbers that AMD will blow past during the production cycle. I suspect this page will be edited again at some point to remove the Zen and RDNA references completely. I don't see the X1X page advertising what version of GCN it is using or playing up the jaguar cores. LOL

Must admit i have never heard of it, but looked it up, Toyko jungle, looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Let's put the SoC yields aside, where did you get those in bold? If out of your ass, you can keep them and I'll just move on.
Deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills? Lol if you simply don't know why a large percentage of Sony's SOC are "poor quality" just say so, hell we can find out together 😂😂

Would have been a lot more believable if they had said that the yields were not improving at the rate Sony had hoped. If you are going to FUD, try and do it the best you can, that's my motto.

I’d like to think that new Uncharted game rumour has it confused, and they’ve actually been working on a separate canon Indiana Jones game using Uncharted assets.

I think we might of touched on this before but an indy jones game setting using the same format as uncharted, that is to die for, i mean in so many ways the games do meld with each other, it almost feels like a natural evolution.

But i am not getting my hopes up for that, its just to good to be true.
 
Yeah, and that's ok. Wifi 6 should be put to good use with psvr 2.0, or at least that's what would justify it to me.

The sooner everything is on 6 the better actually. Wi-Fi 6 is not just about an improvement in speed, it's about maximizing the available bandwidth to allow more devices per channel. This impacts not just the devices on your own network, but also your neighbours if they are using the same channel. This falls apart with a Wi-Fi 5 device in the network. I know it will take some years for this to happen, but I feel new devices should really come with Wi-Fi 6 from now onwards. Electronics with a longer lifespan should make the change now.

PSVR2 would be better off with something like WiGig.

Yield rates have been an issue with 7nm EUV since last year:


The most likely scenario was Sony planned for 10M during launch window, increased to 15M when COVID hit and demand increased significantly, but dropped back down to after full production started and 7nm+ yields hadn’t improved.

The main sticking point for a project like that (which, let’s face it, would sell a truckload) is fucking Disney. The rights permissions and cut of the proceeds they’d want would probably skewer any chance of it.

But a Naughty Dog Indy game, now Nate is retired? That would be HUGE.

Anyway what do you want to see tomorrow?

Demon souls would be my big game to go too, i would love to see another level of Rachet and clank, not so much the rift portals any more, i want to see an actual level running around and using some gadgets, i would love a prehistoric setting one.

And i know this is a long shot and there is probably 0...............1% chance of it happening, bloodborne 2. but yer that is just a dream.

horizon zero dawn 2 , i mean who does not want to see that besides Phil Spencer and co.

All in all, i will just be happy to see new information so that everyone here gets chatting again, on new things.


Oh yer, and the price, Please be £350-399 pounds, please don't be higher, if it is, its crying time.

In honor of a lost soul @gamenyc78

120fps is, imo, a stupid and wasteful target to have this gen. All this power and they want to waste it on double the frame rate? Especially when they're already giving so much to get native 4K. Most people simply won't notice or care.

Target 60fps on most games, that's a huge improvement on the 30 FPS we've got on most games this gen and every gen since the introduction of the 3D gaming.
I can't tell you a percentage, but I think ninety percent of what I've played in my 44 years I will have played at 30fs, and I've had fun like a dwarf, so if to see more amazing worlds I have to keep playing 30, I sign now, performance mode always off ... I spent 5 years playing on pc and the only thing I miss is my Ultrawide Monitor,that the cat melted me with a piss

Uncharted was based on Indiana Jones. Sony will never make an actual Indy game because they'd have to give up a lot of the revenue to the license holder Disney. And Uncharted is already a huge brand.

Naughty Dog is done with Uncharted for now. This rumored new Sony studio could be making one though, and I think it will either be another Chloe game, or the rumored Sully game.

one way to tell is, if there is a new Indiana Jones film coming out in the next few years,

The sequel — unofficially known as Indiana Jones 5 — will bring back Harrison Ford as Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones, with franchise creator George Lucas on board as executive producer. With the film currently scheduled to hit theaters July 9, 2021, here's everything we know about Indiana Jones 5 so far.

Do we dare to dream lol
