In case anyone's wondering. Indie devs are very much in the dark as we are right now. They might have bits and pieces of info that we might not have but in most cases they're in the dark. They won't get Scarlet or PS5 kits for a while. usually around when the console is officially announced maybe even few months prior depending on the indie team themselves. Even then some indies don't have the funds to purchase the kits so they attach themselves to either Sony or MS for funding and kits development. That's why you see so and so game is exclusive and they say nice things to Sony or MS. Eventually said game goes to multiple platforms. Point is these articles are pointless right now. They're just saying how this piece of tech effects us which is great but its not news because we already know it.

That's not entirely true. Hammered down specs arent available because they still arent finalized. Dev kits havent shipped out to indies, except maybe some select ones here or there. Big publishers or devs dont have complete finalized specs either, but all have been given targets as well as beta dev kits, along with preliminary documentation on how to use what it has to offer.

I dont think final specs are completely necessary to make the prediction made here. But it begs the question, why is gamingbolt asking what this dev thinks the next gen will bring, as opposed to asking what the dev will bring to next gen hardware? A dev can say what theyll do, they can say what something can do in theory, but they cant speak on behalf of the whole industry as if what they're saying is relevant.

As an example...the ps3 SPE processors could easily handle lots of complex physics calculations. But, in practice, it didnt achieve more than what we saw on any other set of hardware...even from sonys own first party.

Doesn't matter really what hardware can do...just what devs do with the hardware. Something sony learned last gen, when not many were that keen in utilizing what ps3 had to offer them

I just REALLY REEEEAAAALY hope these new CPUs bring back a focus on physics and destruction.

Magog2108d ago

I would love a game that takes Mercenaries or Red Faction to a whole new level.

cannon88002108d ago

I've been craving those games for so long.

Pickledpepper2108d ago

Red faction 1+2 were and still are awesome games

ApocalypseShadow2108d ago

Same. Physics, weather and destruction. In and out of VR.

Sgt_Slaughter2108d ago

Sh*t like this from Gamingbolt gets approved so easily yet actual news takes forever

frostypants2108d ago (Edited 2108d ago )

Because GamingBolt games the system and N4G's mods won't do anything about it. This garbage isn't moving up organically. Look at this thread....look at how many people are making fun of it.

I might get one in a couple years but I’m in no hurry. Nothing at launch I want to play.

60 fps Switch games with higher resolution makes it worth it to me.

badz1491h ago

you basically has no choice because it only has old games with ONE new exclusive and a scummy paid demo. old games are all you have and you fanboys are eating it up and let Nintendo get away with this.

PRIMORDUS18h ago

If there are no shortages then why can't we just easily order a Switch 2 online, from Best Buy, Target, Newegg, Amazon etc. No shortages means we can get it by any means, online or in store.

shinXseijuro19h ago

Maybe there’s shortages in Japan ? But they’re pretty much available lol

shinXseijuro19h ago

But hey saying that creates more hype right !

Good-Smurf5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

There isn't one in US, I saw plenty posting pictures of it many stores in still have plenty in stock.
This is just them referring to stock situation mostly in Japan.
Sounds like he low key also spreading FOMO pressuring people to go out and buy one for no good reason?
It's not exactly flying off the shelves here in Thailand though, there's basically no real hype here at all other than the fanboys lining up for it the first few days.
You can easily order one right now in Thailand from all the official authorized stores, not out of stock at all.
The price of 17800 THB or around 550 USD here for a standard SKU and high game prices probably has a lot to do with it.

the standalone Switch 2 is more expensive than the PS5 slim in Malaysia and just $2 cheaper than the Disc PS5 Slim. what a rip-off

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
