I don't know but if I have to guess Lockhart is a cheaper option for 1080p with CPU compatibility with the stronger brother... something that Xbox One X is not.
No visuals but the CPU won't be a limitator factor.
To be fair MS didn't throw anything.
You're not wrong but previous Xbox leadership has been garbage and closed good studios while gutting others. That's not the case this time around. Allard was great, Mattrick sucked donkey dicks and put Microsoft in the position it's in now.
How many of those studios can compete directly with Sony 1st party? They are mostly small indies and a few AA ones. They exist to create small continuous content for gamepass basically.
Ninja Theory just made a pretty admirable game for the size of their team and I would say they would be a great contender to go up against Playstation's 1st party. The Coalition and 343 Industries seem like they are changing things up for the better. Playground games keeps knocking it out of the park with Forza Horizon and is creating an RPG, meanwhile Sony closed down the DriveClub servers. We know nothing about The Initiative other than it's got some pretty damn good talent behind it and it's based out of Santa Monica. Obsidian has a good track record for making RPG's.
Would you have bought the PS4 exclusives if they looked like last gen games?
Edit - I think I get what you are trying to say.
I love how it was almost a level headed post but you just HAD to get the dig at MS in at the end.
Why Toshiba though? Did they have any prior experience designing GPUs
I think the CELL was impressive and ahead of its time, best looking PS3 exclusives owe it to CELL.
Damn, wouldn't that be something, but knowing Sony he might have signed NDAs
Wait what? Im confused now, a few pages back someone claimed the double cell was never a thing, they were designing a GPU with Toshiba.
Because Cell was designed to be used in TVs, Sound System, Videogames, etc etc... all products that Toshiba sells.
No, you are just contradicting yourself. You claimed that MS would produce 5 million Sneks first year because of EUV yields
So whats stopping Sony from using it then?
We know all of this (except bolded) from Nvidia Turing PR, care to expand on volume rendering?
Im confused now, somebody said something about Toshiba designing the GPU.
Are you speaking to remasters and the like? If so, I think a certain level of leeway is given to remasters. But if God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, the Order, Spiderman, so on and so forth looked like previous gen games I don't think they would have sold as much as their gameplay is rather samey with some minor nuances here and there. I'm not saying they aren't fun, but part of their greatness is their graphics and subtle details which make them more immersive and the ability to stand there and say "damn that looks good" while taking a pic in photo mode, sharing with friends and enticing them to purchase.
I think we can all agree with this. If Sony pushed a rushed and weak PS5 with only 16GB and 8TF, I would personally boycott such a machine.
Blu Ray-was worth it and at the time a standalone was like 1000 and allowed for bigger games.
All prior Sony Systems were done in-house, the engineers were going to design the graphics system using cell....It's high bandwidth alone would lend to some impressive results...Moreover, cell was more than just playstation, the intention was for cell adoption in TV's, medical equipment, entertainment centers etc......They envisaged lots coming from the investment apart from PS for all partners involved, it's just that it didn't pan out as they wanted, PS was suppose to be the driver.......This is why I believe; if PS3 had double cell and run out the gate screaming, and if they launched on time with a more attractive pricepoint, cell technology may have taken off on quite a few devices as planned, where all partners would have reaped the rewards....Perhaps cell, would have evolved to something even bigger now........Yet, the only product we know that pushed cell was a $600 system which did not burst out of the blocks, so that hindered momentum for the vision and adoption across the divide....
Well with all that bandwidth, better framerates and effects could have been a possibility, so perhaps we would not have been downtrodden by bad ports as such....The raw power and bandwidth would have been there....And of course, eventually, most devs would tune up.....Gabe hated the PS3, but eventually he came over, I think double cell would have worked better than RSX for the simple fact it would have had more raw power......
Tbh, I thought about that too, but it's been years already and PS5 is approaching, I think they can give us some info on PS3...I'd say, you probably would not share that information just after the PS3 gen ended....but PS3 is done and dusted right now, since a second gen is appraoching after PS3.....So they can definitely talk about it now......
Anaconda could be an 8TF box just barely better than XBONEX and people would defend it...Speak of how balanced it is...and how it supports 480fps monitors, even though games would barely do 4k 60fps with such a spec....They would spout 480Hz monitor support as the reason to own the box.......I know, I've seen people touting XBONEX's 120Hz support as holy grail material, when the console struggles with dynamic 4k, sub 30fps and tearing in many games.....Or come up with bs secret sauces, shit like dx__ in games being a super game changer in the new xbox, hidden gpus, continued cloud computing tht will exponentially make Xbox a beast etc lol anything. Trust me they won't give up the delusions. Mister media and his disciples never stopped lol Crackdown 3 had a clan of scapegoaters telling us the downgrade wasn't real and the graphics were insane
Ok but i need an explanation on the second cell/gpu part, im getting conflicting reports:
I'm not sure, some of the rumors from that era suggested a second cell modified with basic rendering functions.
I think toshiba was involved in ps2's emotion engine design with sony which had vector graphic operations processing. Not sure if they contributed to the ps2's graphic synthesizer.
Lot of assumptions based on no info here.
nVidia was always the GPU maker for PS3.
But you don't need AI for voxels, how does AI benefit volume rendering?
Not at all, if that was the case RSX would had been a beast
Wow So there is no defending nvidia after all, they fucked Sony over with a obsolete overpriced chip
You just confirmed I was wrong with the codename like I said at the end of my post.
I created a thread to find out the credibility of the leaker actually.
