Almost the same quotes as last gen better hardware makes games more complex

Kumakai2131d ago (Edited 2131d ago )

thats great but xbox scarlett uses the same cpu in a custom setup just like the ps5 so not sure why we are distinguishing it as a ps5 thing...

and i quote:
"Microsoft has announced that the new Xbox console will be available by the end of 2020, featuring the exact same AMD architectures that are slated for Sony’s PlayStation – which we’ll call the PlayStation 5 for ease. Both will offer the latest 7nm AMD tech, ray tracing, and contain an SSD..."

basically it will be a repeat of last gen. Same CPU (slight modifications for each console), Same GPU (slight modifications for each console).

Shane Kim2131d ago

These corporate ceo's are on the phone with eachother as we speak, deciding what to put in their next consoles.

That would be interesting as Phil Spencer stated numerous times that Xbox would have the most powerful consoles going forward. Always interesting to see how he could guarantee this. But if Xbox doesn't have a slight edge then his talk was yet more of the same.

ramiuk12131d ago

doesnt matter waht xbox does hardware wise.
look at this gen for example with the xbox one X ,came out with loads of power but it still has serious lack out games and next gen will be same

conanlifts2131d ago

@ramiuk1 to be honest I am more interested in seeing whether years of talking from ms turns into anything. They are promising games and power, the question is whether either will eventuate. MS have a lot of ground to make up in order to win over the millions of gamers who have deserted them.

milohighclub2131d ago

@conan I'd grab a brew whilst you wait mate, been waiting since last gen. It's always been the same talk with the same results, next gen wont be any different.

MasterCornholio2131d ago

He could always delay the release by a year and guarantee a more powerful system with a hardware upgrade. But Microsoft can't afford to give Sony a year head start.

leejohnson2222131d ago

His talk is always just that, talk

You see, the ps5 studios will actually do the most with the new systems. I believe even if the scarlett is more powerful, the ps5 will still have the best looking games. The ps5 will have more exclusives that look better then anything on Scarlett.

leejohnson2222131d ago

Ok babe take it easy we all know Xbox exist, errr boring

Christopher2131d ago

Because the topic was about PS5 and the developer responded to the question asked and not the question unasked?

MasterCornholio2130d ago

Exactly this. I don't know why some people are bothered that he wasn't asked about Xbox.

There's really no need to defend the console since the CPUs are going to be extremely similar in the two systems.

Always nice to see reduced Dev times.

YodaCracker2131d ago

This is really important because the more graphically advanced games have become, the longer they seem to take to develop. Imagine if Rockstar was able to release more than one game per gen again!

kneon2131d ago (Edited 2131d ago )

But he's saying it will only be reduced because they will spend less time on optimization. That means the game could have been even better/bigger had they spent the time to make the best use of the power and features available.

web10172131d ago

Does it guarantee that the Menu screen is going to lag like on PS4? Because, that sure doesnt look nice when you promise a strong CPU and Ram.

Shikoku2131d ago

That's more memory than the CPU

sizeofyou2131d ago

Don't know what all this PS4 menu lag is? Get a very very occasional slow down. But I'd pick that over my X any day. MS menu is far far worse. And don't get me started on the MS store lag which is appalling...

rainslacker2131d ago

I only notice it when the system is doing something in the background like installing a game or update. The sub menus in the info screens when you press down from a game icon can sometimes not load immediately, but that's downloading content from the net.

Otherwise, I've never had a problem with menu lag that I'd call consistent, and even when it does crop up, I wouldn't call it so slow that I would go on forums complaining about it.

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

GotGame8181d 6h ago

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

badz1491d 6h 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.

PRIMORDUS1d 22h 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.

kindi_boy23h ago

move your ass to the nearest Target or Best Buy and you'll find a lot of them.

Benjaminkno6h ago

I’ve been looking. They go as soon as they hit shelves. It’s ok fanboy. You’ll be ok

shinXseijuro1d 23h ago

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

shinXseijuro1d 23h ago

But hey saying that creates more hype right !

Good-Smurf1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h 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.

badz1491d 5h ago

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

Benjaminkno6h ago

Some areas in the states have more demand than others. In Columbus Ohio you can’t find one.
