More and more devs are coming out saying the same stuff about memory management being a massive thing this upcoming gen, new possibilities, things not seen before and only going to get better in the future, hype!.

[blackblades]

Yeah and when the games are shown and the consoles are out people would know the truths.

[IRetrouk]

Dont get me wrong, gpu/cpu/ram are all still important too, but the memory management is by far the biggest jump this upcoming gen and will allow the biggest changes.

[blackbeld]

Yeah.... I already make my choice. Playstation 5 it is. :)

I'm there day one for a ps5 too, it's like a traditional thing to me now, bought a playstation every gen so far and not been let down yet, it can take em a while to get going sometimes but the quality and games are always there.

its almost a guarantee naughty dog will knock it outta the park as far as putting all machine resources to use. I just kinda hope they move away from 3rd person action would love to see them tackle vr

[silenthillstrangler]

My god this is beginning to be excruciating! I just want to see something from Sony.

Make the versus loading screen like Street Fighter Alpha 2 and I'll be fine. If the loading screen before picking your character to start fighting is too fast, it won't have any hype. All contact sports uses the ''versus screen'' anyway... even the WWE and AEW, it's promoting the characters.

I think Cerny right now is laughing to all the «experts» they were downplaying the massive evolution that the SSD will bring to the next gen. So many tried hard to downplay the SSD and the groundbreaking I/O that Cerny talked about 25 minutes. Even some sites, so called experts... Now...
