Prices... most importantly

getbacktogaming3058d ago

prices and benchmarks... :) can't wait to finally upgrade my dinosaur of a computer!

VoiceMale3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

so does this mean that the possibility of

"these cant be in the scorpio cause they wont be out until 2018"

changed to :

" custom versions of these can be in scorpio?"

if so.....very interesting 🤔

LexHazard793058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

It sure does, it might be also why MS held it back til Holiday 2017. A variant of Ryzen could be there, but I also read about another chip Puma, so fingers crossed for it being Ryzen. On another note though it could be a Ryzen/Polaris.
Seeing as the Vega gpu doesnt release til later. But again Im not a tech wizard. It could be they can still work on a variant of that gpu as well. Time will tell.

@mecheslays, thanks i hope its ryzen/vega then.

VoiceMale3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

Oh ok fair enough...but like u said time will tell....i was of the opinion that is exatcly why MS waited this year to release the scorpio as they were already 2 yrs into the planning stage as of last year....
interesting nonetheless

MecheSlays3058d ago

doesnt matter when vega is released for pc's amd still has their architecture blueprint and could put it in an apu anytime

peewee110163058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

It wont be in the Scorpio.
We dont even know the price of it. Let alone the consoles are already more then likely been planned and parts are already being made... thats why

freshslicepizza3058d ago

Is that hidden code for you hope it doesn't have it?

VoiceMale3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

Bro plz like u have all the facts... ur guess is as good as mine all ur doing is using conjecture...ps4 got ddr5 last minute what do u even know....

just sounds like ur just hoping it doesnt....

@ demonddel

Not sure why you're getting all the disagrees. That's a very real possibility.

Sweet im really looking forward to the future of pc gaming now amd is bringing some competition to the table

Fishy Fingers3058d ago

Let's see some real world benchmarks first, but you know they'll be more than competitive at pricing.

Omnislashver363058d ago

This is great news for console gamers too. PS5 should be a substantial leap, perhaps even some games will be 4K60.

JoeDG3058d ago

Ps5 ??? 2020 will offer other chips for the consoles.

Omnislashver363058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

You're missing the point, it's that AMD is catching up again... And you have no idea if Ryzen 2 will be available by 2019, Ryzen 1 had multiple delays.

Fishy Fingers3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

You have no idea whether the next consoles will use AMD or Nvidia let alone what chip.

Don't get defensive over some random guess work. We'll find out about the consoles closer to the time. This is PC news first and foremost.

Kokyu3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

Mmm probably not but I am already looking forward to what Ps5 may bring.

@JoeDg Ps5 wont be 2020. Expect to beginn hearing leaks by this Holiday and even more by holiday 2018.

Omnislashver363058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

@Fishy fingers
The only one getting defensive over guesswork is you.

And I find it hard to believe Nvidia and Intel will merge and provide APU deals by time PS5 is released. The only company dumb enough to go with them was Nintendo. They're also not going to give up Backwards Compatibility, lesser airflow requirements, and charge us $799 for a console so you can really shove it.

He had a guess, I had a more educated guess. See yourself out of this conversation before you start getting defensive again.

Fishy Fingers3058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

Why does everyone on this site have to get their backs up so quickly?

"And you have no idea" and I'm defensive? I was speak generally.

Neither do you dude. So what makes your guess any better than his? You're talking about something 2-3 years away at a minimum. Who know where things will be at that time. Cool to guess, but just appreciate that's all it is, a guess.

Intel in Nintendo? It's an Nvidia chip with ARM cores.

Edit: Youre getting overly angry dude. Relax. It's microprocessors not life and death. Didn't say it was invalid man, you said that about his, I rather suggested you appreciate each other's.

Omnislashver363058d ago (Edited 3058d ago )

The only one throwing stones here is you. I simply gave my educated opinion, you tried to say mine was invalid. Get the sand out of your vagina.

Edit: Bull, show me where I got angry or disrespected his opinion. The only thing more annoying than someone trying to disrespect someone's opinion is someone like you accusing me of being angry. Seriously, shove it dude. Wrong on both counts.

Fishy Fingers3058d ago

After your edit I take it back. You're clearly very relaxed, not remotely aggressive. I quoted where you disrespected his opinion man, you don't have to guess where, although I'm sure your guess would be the only one that matters.

Well that probably explains Scorpio's release date. Must have a much more powerful CPU than PS4 Pro.

Their recent Playstation revenue is also more than Xbox and Switch combined, obviously in large part due to 3rd party sales.

Christopher8h ago

I mean, if Sony is keeping third parties happy, kind of feels like a winning method.

IRetrouk4h ago

Kinda always been that way if you look at previous gens, exclusives are important but they aint the main revenue generator.

Reaper22_3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

.While that is impressive. Microsoft made 13 billion in one quarter. Making up facts doesn't make them true.

Mmmkay2h ago

microsoft is not xbox. a bot should know that by now. you have been told this bs 1000 times on this site alone.

OlderGamer1719m ago

Yeah Microsoft but Xbox on the other hand.....

thorstein52m ago

I prefer Playstation over Xbox when it comes to consoles but how does this news justify their layoffs?

Shane Kim27m ago

But the execs brother. You got to think about them. How could they otherwise buy yet another mansion and yacht?

And this is why the game output for ps5 has been a tad slower…

1) they needed to be… games take longer to develop, and they’d burn out their teams trying to maintain the same pace as ps3.

2) they can afford to… games cost more than ever to push boundaries, so Sony had to figure out a way to match Xbox’s clever profit strategies in order to afford to continue to innovate and take risks.

Reaper22_2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

@ s2killinit

Thats xbox which includes other services. The playstion division also includes other services as well. Its mostly playtion but not all playstation. What's up with all the double standards around here.

Chevalier1h ago

Yeah double standards like some idiots who got to talk about unrelated profits as a talking point. Wish those damn parrots could stay on topic with game related profits.

Next thing these idiots will talk about is something unrelated like Nintendo made more off the Mario movie than all of Xbox studios TV/movie endeavors combined you know?

@Chevalier

Mind you that’s only AFTER buying all those other companies adding them to the revenue. It was a LOT lower. This is Activision, Bethesda, and others COMBINED to get that number.

“The sales of windows professional on the other hand trounces god of war sales” 😂

"Mind you that’s only AFTER buying all those other companies adding them to the revenue. It was a LOT lower. This is Activision, Bethesda, and others COMBINED to get that number."

Guys we're off topic here you know? Can someone bring us back on topic and tell us how much revenue Xbox studios does for movies and TV? Pretty sure we should also discuss how much Nintendo stands to make at Universal studios on Nintendo land and the rides should be a hot ticket this summer.

"Ouch! hahaha no wonder reaper wanna hide behind profits made by windows XD"

Yeah idiots with some sort of inferiority complex needs to get their win somewhere though. But wait shouldn't we get back on topic guys? Like seriously how much money do you think Fallout Season 2 will bring in?!

Npugz72h ago

Only because of games prices otherwise it’s the worst generation in PlayStation history especially for games

Reaper22_1h ago

Thats true. The article did mention game and prices were a reason. Its also shows their greed is no different than Microsoft. Laying off all those people but yet bragging about profits and still tried to stop ABK deal. What the hell!

MatrixxGT1h ago

Closing studios, layoffs, leadership changes, PS plus increases, multiple game cancellations and delays, total flops like concord. Slowest release of first party games of any generation and they just shut down PS stars I guess because it was costing to much.
Yet they announce record profits…..the greed here is insane, MS and Nintendo too. All of them milking gamers and we just keep lapping it up like a blood hound for a meal.
Them tariffs are really hitting them hard I see.

Deathdeliverer1h ago

Well a part of running a business is a tight grip on that P&L sheet. In project management. It’s a known fact that the farther into a project you go, the more costly the corrections. Having something reach the definition of done, the end of the road, and it’s hated is a monumental loss of money. As games are usually made iteratively it’s like how was this not caught and course corrected several times before this point. Sony is definitely known as trusting and allows teams to make the games they want to make. They “trust the process”. The caveat to that big budget and freedom is if it bombs, especially if it’s your first game, you’re outta there. They have shareholders/stakeholders to keep happy. Where as normally a done game like Concord would give ROI as it was out in the wild. The cost of the project is recouped and turned into profit or delivered whatever value they wanted. If the game is now NOT coming out, how do they get that money back and stay profitable? By not paying wages for that team over a course of time that would have still been on payroll working on the next potential bomb, DLC for a dead game, and essentially costing more money.
It sadly isn’t greed, it’s business. They release these great profits because 1) it’s enticing for more stakeholders to invest, and 2) Despite failures they are still balancing the books and turning record setting profits.
How many live service games died at various stages of development? They are still this profitable? Imagine if the games came out and were hits to add onto the profits?

Vithar1h ago

where are the "Sony is in trouble" sayers? LOL

Chevalier1h ago

They're talking about Microsoft quarterly profits like any true gamer would be doing.

Marathon Development Update

Marathon was slated to launch on Sept. 23, 2025 across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, but Bungie will share the new release date in the fall.

Jin_Sakai1d 16h ago

Probably best just cancel it. The game has flop written all over it.

-Foxtrot1d 19h ago

Yeah, you can delay it as much as you want but you ain’t gonna wash that stink off.

Killer2020UK1d 18h ago

It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.

RaidenBlack1d 15h ago

If you really gotta play ... play the better extraction shooter this year : ARC Raiders

ZeekQuattro1d 19h ago

Delaying the inevitable. Bungie hoping the negative publicity will blow over. 🙄

darthv721d 18h ago

They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.

ZeekQuattro1d 15h ago

I anxiously wait for that and a Marathon Secret Level episode.

GamingManiac1d 11h ago

$10 says it'll have the stolen artwork on it lolol

dveio1d 18h ago

If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.

So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.

Tacoboto1d 18h ago

"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"

They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...

RaidenBlack1d 15h ago

and N4G was littered with comments like : Marathon looks really good, maybe you're a hater and the likes blah blah ... especially under articles which compared it with Arc Raiders ....
