Why is the audio so shit?

ABORT MISSION

ABORT MISSION

Yeah, too bad!

 

[Birdo]

The PS4 controller had a speaker?

 

[LordOfChaos]

Why is the audio so shit?

Plot twist: Recorded on Dualsense mic

He's talking about a PS5 demo he was playing, so that OS snippet we saw yesterday was probably the PS5

 

[stranno]

Geoff dude, mic barely worked in your recording.
Meh, anyway..

 

[Wonko_C]

Nothing in the back. Thank god.

ABORT MISSION

- No back buttons

Yup, I said it just a few posts back.

Neither MS nor Sony who've both released "solutions" this gen are ignoring it AGAIN this upcoming gen. WTF, it's just so much better to not have to take your thumbs off of the sticks for basic game functions.

 

[mortal]

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

He's so clearly reading this off a script.

Very off putting.

 

[Knitted Knight]

That speaker already paying off.

 

[Insane Metal]

This doesn't help much. We can't feel any of these innovations through a video unfortunately.

 

[Birdo]

"The ducks!"

We have a new "Riiiiidge raceeeeer!"

 

[jaysius]

I'm not sure what I expected from this video, but what we get is Sony's 1st party effort to show probably the only time these silly gimmicks will be utilized all in one "product". By mid-gen nobody will even remember half of these gimmicks, 3rd party devs especially.

Oh FFS the shitty blowing from Nintendo DS that nobody liked now comes to PS5.

 

[HE1NZ]

I bet he plays this demo on PC.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

astro bot looks cool though;
that's it? what the fuck xD

 

[saintjules]

Did he just blow into the Controller?

 

[R6Rider]

No back buttons is the dumbest thing. Idk if I can go back after having them on my DS4.

 

[iconmaster]

Did he just blow into the Controller?

Yup, blowing into your controller is back. Thanks, Nintendo.

 

[Knitted Knight]

Blowing into the controller...

This thing is a sex bot.

 

[Eliciel]

Did he just blow into the Controller?

Yes, he did. LOL

 

[Birdo]

The video will basicaly be:

"Here are the buttons. Here are the ports. Here are the sticks. Okay, bye".

Just quoting my 100% accurate prediction.

 

[jose4gg]

Did he just blow into the Controller?

Yes, to the microphone

 

[JimiNutz]

I wish Geoff would smile like that when he touches me.
Jealous.

Astro Bot is cute.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Did he just blow into the Controller?

Some 3DS games did this too.

 

[Lone Wolf]

The controller looks much more comfortable than the DS4 but the gimmicky shit he just showed is garbage. It will be underutilized and no one wants it anyway.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Back buttons are awful IMO. Depending on how you grip a controller (pressure points), you either find them very handy, or a royal pain in the ass. I turn them off on my Windows gamepad. They get hit at all the wrong times, and just aren't good for me. I'd prefer they leave it off the stock pad, so that it doesn't become a feature devs implement in games. 8 main action buttons are plenty for any game.

This has also been done through the years on Playstation controllers so it never left. In heist you can blow on a cigar, in Astrobot demo ps4 u can blow at dandelions, etc. ..

Tht isn't innovative at this point.

 

[Wonko_C]

I'm okay with having controller gimmicks (they can open up creative shit) but don't act as if they're something completely new no one has done before.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

This live stream is a nice little bump for IGN, but fairly useless. I'd have preferred they just release a pre-recorded 4K video. I'm pretty sure this is all pre-recorded anyway.

 

[Entroyp]

Back buttons? More that the 4 already there?

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

At least we get a free game with the PS5

 

[jakinov]

Sony needs to make a Mario Party knockoff that takes advantage of the controller. Otherwise don't see blowing and motion being used in a useful way in games. Spraying painting or shaking my flashlight are lame gimmicky ways of using the weird inputs.

 

[Knitted Knight]

Keighley going there. Yes. Yes...

Thy have a game in its own right better or just as good. Astrobot for PSVR is a fucking sublime game tht uses alot of the VR and controller features.

 

[HawarMiran]

He is basically saying:"Stfu Phil"

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

That stream is absolutely aweful. And wow, that Sony guy surely is a real charmer.

 

[HE1NZ]

Why is the audio so shit?

PS5's Tempest Engine

 

[jaysius]

Hopefully they fix the biggest design flaw that places pressure on the charging port when you LAY IT FLAT on any surface, because of the awful angle they chose with the DS4.

You have to buy charging station now.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Crap. Forgot. I think I missed everything. Just started watching last 2 minutes between Geoff and a guy talking.

 

[Eliciel]

I wasn't paying attention, who is the guy Geoff is talking to?

 

[T-Cake]

I wasn't paying attention, who is the guy Geoff is talking to?

Eric Lempel, VP at SIE.

 

[Great Hair]

ABORT MISSION

- No back buttons

rewatch the ps5 reveal from 30 days ago. You could see underneath the controller, no buttons ...

 

[Gamernyc78]

I wasn't paying attention, who is the guy Geoff is talking to?

Playstation Sony marketing head

 

[longdi]

Playstation Sony marketing head

He is terrible.

 

[saintjules]

You can blame Roberto for that one Sony lol

 

[Eliciel]

Eric Lempel, VP at SIE.

Playstation Sony marketing head

He is terrible.

Sounds about right, judging by the discussion that is happening '
Lots of bla bla

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Interview coming to an end.

The usual suck up comments from host to end the discussion on a fun note.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Generic marketing guy.

You didn't miss much of anything. Astrobot suffered from poor quality stream, and isn't anything visually interesting anyway. The features he showcased aren't too surprising. You'll be able to tinker with the DS features if you buy the console, as the game come packed-in. Pretty boring live event.
