Well well well

Get real guys, it's Bugsnax VS Craig this gen

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

I guess I don’t get it. Does this give MS a big edge over PS5? What’s the significance of this?

Huge advantage in games that use the features, but it's more significant because it confirms a lot of early leaks about the PS5 architecture, many of which were bannable to speculate on.

 

[MarkMe2525]

I always try to stay out of the petty arguments but admittedly some times get pulled in. I must admit that I feel satisfaction in hearing this, not because I don't want ps5 users to have a great experience (I'm going to get one), but because some people on here were so bullish with their claims and dismissive of MS's box. I do imagine though there are some customizations in the PS5, that are going to be unique to it, that devs will be able to take advantage of.

 

[Concern]

As annoying as the console warring is. Its always great to see crow being served tho.

So I guess people were banned for saying its not full RDNA2 should be unbanned.

 

[Leonidas]

I speculated this a year ago and was attacked by fanboys

 

[Vawn]

So far all the best looking console exclusives have been PS5 games. So far, all the third-party games appear to be identical.

 

[DonkeyKong]

Big news.. but will it matter, have Sony done their own equivalents of those missing features? Interesting times

 

[somesang]

In all seriousness though, as someone that has gone out of their way to avoid the next gen thread, what's the significance of this news?

Unfortunately, this news only adds fuel to the console war fire. It's marketing at it's best. Microsoft fans will mark it as a win, Sony fans will defend. Most warriors won't technically understand the big picture, but it's an arrow in the quiver. Let's see how the thread plays out.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

But people on Twitter wrote that the XSX/S used RDNA1 - I don't know who to believe anymore!

/s

 

[Noctis114]

What sad degenerate gave this thread a gold award?

Jesus there's an Xbox fanboy out there waiting for this day for years.

 

[Concern]

oh so Sony is using RDNA 2.5!

Thats close but my money is on it being RDNA3.

 

[Max_Po]

I Don't even know what this means. ... ... but yaaaay

 

[Nikana]

In all seriousness though, as someone that has gone out of their way to avoid the next gen thread, what's the significance of this news?

Next to fuck all.

 

[longdi]

He's been counting down like some secret sauce was going to be unveiled today. "10 days" "only a little longer now" etc etc.

Surprisingly the show came and went and no geordie .

I remember people talking about Sony unveiling the ps5 at some amd event earlier in the year and nothing. Why would anyone think anything different here?

I was told to wait by @geordiemp for today, he even did a handy daily countdown and boy was it worth it.

This is a hard one to spin.

Please dont question The Engineer who visited tsmc. He has great maths knowledge, what do you all know better?

I think that's wishful thinking

 

[Evilms]

full rdna 2 but no game to prove it.

 

[tillbot8]

Ohhhh what a twist! ...For the verbage in this forum at least. I dont think it will make a massive difference in real world applicaton tho between the consoles in results. But if true and there is no other info then yeahhhh I think a few posters in here need to admit they made a mistake!

 

[LordCBH]

Thats close but my money is on it being RDNA3.

theyre playing 4d chess. Sony is using RDNA4

 

[sobaka770]

Oh look another marketing gimmick. The difference in SoC is very minor and features that MS went with Sony cusomised on their own. So while technically true, it's not "better". If anything it may end up being worse depending on Sony implementation but that's all conjecture.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Close this thread now!!!!

 

[Rolla]

Show us how it's utilized via a next gen game. Pretty please.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I wonder what will be left for the first few pages before the bomb goes off in here.

Really though, interested in knowing more about the leverage.

 

[TGO]

hardware accelerated DirectX Raytracing

 

[Kssio_Aug]

So far all the best looking console exclusives have been PS5 games. So far, all the third-party games appear to be identical.

This is obviously not a defense to Xbox, but how could Xbox show best exclusive looking games if it doesn't have any next-gen exclusive to show yet? And about the third party titles, we will have to wait and see some technical analysis to conclude anything.

 

[Dr Bass]

Didn't Sony already say their solution was custom, based upon RDNA2? That one engineer dude who worked on it said he could think of one less feature it had, along with a few more. This is a non-story.

Microsoft needs to show anything that's even in the same stratosphere as Sony's very first efforts before it keeps trying to brag about power. I mean, come on.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Just give me some games man

 

[Mr.ODST]

What does this meannnnnn

IT means the PS5 doesnt have RDNA 3 tech and the narrative that went around with that.

On a serious note good news for Xbox gamers and ill be interested to see which RDNA 2 tech PS5 has and how the performance differences come out.

Think I seen its 50% more efficient and performance? Not sure

 

[On Demand]

FEATURES! people FEATURES!

How are some of you so called enthusiast.

 

[Dogman]

As was pretty well explained in the RedTechGaming tweet and as I said in the other thread, they can only say this due to DirectX features being the focus of the PC GPUs, and Xbox using directX. Since PS5 doesn't use directx, they can't "technically" say the have the exact same features, but they really do. Sony just has they're own custom version of it.

 

[sinnergy]

lol no.

PS5 is RDNA2 with it’s own custom feature set.

We don’t know ... that’s the smartest thing to say.

 

[Vasto]

Today is a good day.

 

[Aion002]

Cool.... I guess that the SX at least has something over the competition. When you can't have games.... Every little thing matter.

 

[JORMBO]

Someone who is smart explain what this means?

 

[Concern]

lol no.

PS5 is RDNA2 based with it’s own custom feature set.

Ftfy

Literally nothing. MS throwing out buzzwords like usual

 

[Adam_802]

ahahaha there it is, Xbox taking no prisoners this gen!

The gap widens...

Funny enough SonyBois have been saying the same for months and turns out the opposite is true.

 

[RaySoft]

Haven't you guys learned to read between the lines when corp's spin these kind of statements?
Just to throw one scenario out there, AMD mentioned in their showcase they have full support for DX12U in their RDNA2 silicon. This includes velocity architecture (direct storage and sampler feedback). Now, do Sony need those transistors in their SoC? No, hence MS can say that they are the ONLY next-gen console that supports full RDNA2. This is why Sony are using a custom RDNA2 architecture.
Try to be critical when reading these stuff, because it's borderline lies.

 

[iJudged]

idk what this means, halp?

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Huge advantage in games that use the features, but it's more significant because it confirms a lot of early leaks about the PS5 architecture, many of which were bannable to speculate on.

Except Sony just uses different technologies for the same thing. Why would Sony for instance use DirectX related features for it's games?

 

[Handy Fake]

... although I am enjoying watching folk celebrating this as a win without understanding the ramifications of the statement.
