PS5 preorder dates and amounts. I kid, I kid. I would like to see some good looking that surprises me from the MS camp though I'll be playing whatever it is on my PC rather than their console.

As I said, Sony would need to expand Now much more than today just to be able to go head to head in availability. It's one hell of an investment to make, one that MS already did with their Azure network.

- Everything running on XSX hardware
- Fable - retain the charm and British-ness, but really push out the boat with a beautiful open world, and Playground given the freedom to change and improve things
- BC demos
- Post show 4K videos with HDR
- I'd love to see them have another crack at Arcade Golf - I really enjoyed PowerStar
- AoE / Flight Sim / Gears Tactics running on XSX with dates
- Forza given something of a reboot. It's been 3 years, I want something more than mostly the same tracks/cars but shinier.

I would love a PS+/Now merge, but Sony is severely lacking in availability for the later. I can't subscribe to Now with my Brazilian account at the moment.

A person in Josh's thread said it is fake, a false translation and that it is actually referring to a bluetooth headset. I asked him to translate it for everyone.

Either twitter translate is doing a terrible job and putting in words that arent there. I went to the tweet itself and got the exact same translation.

It would be stupid for MS to hold any thing back software wise. If the show ends up a disappointment, especially after the last showing, they won't recover. The narrative will be MS has no games. This is an extremely important show for MS and they have to bring the software and games.
No one is expecting price, launch date, or additional hardware reveals so it's ok that those will wait until August.
But holding back games would be incredibly stupid at this point.

Don't think Microsoft will hold back when it comes to games since they don't have other game events planned. They might not show EVERYTHING they've got because a lot might just have been started, but we'll see most of it.

It doesnt matter if its fake or not. The Microsoft show is 1 hour long, and they will probbaly spend 15mins of that just on Halo. Its obvious they will hold some stuff back, they already said there will be some kind of event every month for here on in up until release.

Aren't Sony already using Azure for Playstation Now in some kind of way anyway?
There was a fair bit of noise about it last year I seem to remember.
But yeah, Sony really do need to expand their availability - and they have had years to do it, which is why it frustrates me!

No Playstation use amazon. The announcement was Sony potential collaborating on cloud technology with Micorsoft. Exchange of ideas or whatever they worded it. Nothing more.

Here is a direct link to that tweet:
And the twitter translation:
No, the tweet is accurate. If people where wondering if the screenshot is fake.
Anyway, sounds like FUD to me.

I don't think they are already using Azure right now.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
They signed some vague "partnership" for the future.
Assumption being they are in-work on their future architecture using Azure, but it's just an assumption. However it's essentially what they said:
Microsoft and Sony are teaming up for the future of gaming
It’s all about Xbox and PlayStation beating Amazon and Google

Got my pre-order in for the PlayStation 5
Rather odd though, in terms of public info the ps5 and XsX both have no price nor release dates atm, yet I couldn't pre-order both...

Well they did have a partnership, most like to make use of Azure. Also Azure isnt only used for gaming, so using/expanding it for XCloud - is probably not that huge of a deal (in terms of expenditure vs setting up a new infrastructure...).
I kinda wonder why they went with Microsoft instead of Google or Amazon though.. Mustve been a pretty sweet deal

From memory there were 2 factors:
1) Amazon couldn't provide what they were needing in terms of features/abilities for their plans
2) Price, it seems Azure might be slightly cheaper and have more feature sets

Document mentions "In addition, the two companies will explore the use of current Microsoft Azure datacenter-based solutions for Sony’s game and content-streaming services. "
Makes it sound like the Sony platform will find its way to Azure one way or the other.

Defiance was a prime example of crossplay back during the ps360 days. Sony was begging Microsoft to allow for crossplay with ps3 players and no one batted an eye. This gen the goalposts shifted and people suddenly cared about crossplay when Microsoft did it but Sony (in the beginning) refused to allow for it. Where were these people during the days of Defiance? Why did they suddenly begin caring about crossplay now? And why didn’t they bash Microsoft for not permitting it back then, but bashed Sony when they didn’t allow for it not long ago. Ah, how times(& narratives) have shifted. Some people only care when it suits them apparently.

Ohhh interesting.
He is followed by Microsoft though.
Perhaps originally the show was a larger full on blowout with lockhart, release date, pricing, etc and now they pushed those pieces to August to combat Sony's State of Play?
I'm not worried either way...
If they ARE holding good stuff back it just means we have more to look forward to in August

You are aware that a lot of the people running Xbox back then aren't running it now, right? For good reasons. They took shit decisions and were put in their place by gamers. Now there's different leadership that takes a pro-consumer standpoint.

Not really worried what some random nobody is saying. It was said awhile back both were most likely holding back anyway.
Only people taking his word at face value are the same ones who were insulting and send threats to a Ps5 engineer over his tweet. See how that works? Double standards

The odd thing is on PC I only have digital purchases but on console I prefer physical. But if you consider game sharing on Playstation you can "get" games for very cheap. Find a few friends/family members and you basically have to pay 10-20 bucks a game. So digital only PS5 doesn't sound too bad

I’m well aware of that change in leadership and I’m hopeful this new type of leadership doesn’t end up screwing up in the same way the last one did. We’ll see.

Elden Ring better have a good showing or else i am placing X-fighter and Dagamez on the sacrificial table.
I am sure that is something most of us can get behind anyway.
Still prepping for the event.

Interesting. I've pondered an Ultraviolet/Movies anywhere type system for a while but I can't imagine console makers are willing to give up that revenue. I don't see this going far outside PC.
