Has the disappointment sunk in yet bros? No matter how you twist and turn, SeX is the better hardware. They're gonna OC the fuck outta PS5 and we'll get another jet engine that is still leagues away from SeX. A part of me wishes they just accepted being shittier console and went all out on software and pricing instead. But their BC is way, way worse than Xbox aswell. They can't even guarantee 100 most played PS4 games working on PS5. Meanwhile SeX will support all Xbone games + hundreds of 360/OG Xbox games. It's such a huge difference.
At this rate, Sony will have to make sure all of Japan is making exclusive PS5 games for them to come close to SeX in appeal. II see no other way they can salvage this. With their new management and the trainwreck reveal, I'm less excited than ever before for Playstation.
So we agree that they either: >edited out the other information that was going to be below ps4 >the console is in the shape of a giant p because the toilet seat design was just as dumb
Colton Ross
Sony on PS4 BC
Option 1) Vague because it will be just 100 at launch, then patch in 200 more and call it quits. They plan on going Remaster in 4K right away.
Option 2) No, there isn't another explanation for their vague and shady wording.
Juan Lee
name 100 ps4 games worth playing ever again
Liam Turner
Faster SSD not gonna lie sounds pretty comfy.
Andrew Flores
Those idiots on CuckEra trying to defend this mess is too much. It's impressive how much IQ they're willing to sacrifice for Sony.
It's time to get rid of Cerny and his jet engine underpowered consoles. And also get rid of Jim Ryan who doesn't even know what BC is. It's mindboggling how Sony Japan just allowed this to happen without intervening.
It's fucked up already. They spend money on Kojima for dinner with hollywood actors instead of real BC with PS4. California fucking hard Sony. When they realise that, I't gonna be too late.
Austin Watson
I think most people just want bloodborne and watch that be one of the games that the ps5 doesnt support. I'd imagine many of those 100 games are combining all the iterations of fifa,nba2k, madden and other sport or racing games that get churned out every single year. Cant forget cod as well.
Kevin Taylor
Summed up the biggest negative about their BC strategy. They can't seem to just build up a catalog of old games and make them run with a software emulator. And bring said emulator over to the next gen. They always have to start over from scratch.
Jaxson Baker
Ps4 games can play in legacy mode which means they would play normally on the ps5 like they would on the ps4. Some ps4 games can play in a boosted mode but only the top 100 ps4 games have been tested for it.
So can you fucks stop shitposting?
Caleb Hall
The average speed of the XSXs 13.5gig of RAM for games is 500GB/s, while the 13.5gig of PS5 RAM for games is 448GB/s. So 10% faster RAM for XSX. The XSX GPU is more powerful by 18%. The CPU is faster. The CPU and GPU have fixed speeds, unlike the PS5. Far better for developers. The XSX has both VRS and ML that the PS5 doesn't. The PS5 has a faster SSD, which will give faster game load times....by maybe a second or two. In game streaming of assets there will be of no benefit. The XOX put out full 4k resolution using a old mechanical drive with 140MB/s speed, feeding into slower GDDR 5 RAM on a smaller bus. The XSX SSD will feed 4.8GB/s of data into faster GDDR6 RAM. There will.be no bottlenecks from the XSX point of view. If you say there will be, well that doesnt bode well for PS5, as it has slower RAM than the XSX, so it's bottleneck will be worse. Sure the PS5 will load up PS5 games twice as fast as XSX. Sony want games loaded up in one second. Which means the XSX will load games up in two seconds. I'm not sure anyone is going to care about that in the slightest.
Owen Foster
> wont support anything prior to ps4 > no upscaling or having the games benefit from newer hardware > xbox figured this shit out years ago > only about 100 games will work > the system has to downclock into weird legacy modes > SUPER FAST SSD, but only sony 1st partys can really take advantage of it > a bunch of roundabout shit about processing that is available to devs but not implemented for them > CELL PROCESSOR 2.0
No. That was Cerny intentionally being misleading. They've only tested 100 games so far and "most" of them are working.
Elijah Stewart
Backward compatibility is fine for xbox series X because the console has no games. Its a distraction. Its basically the same reason Nintendo has been porting games tear after year. Its a way to fill the gaps between releases of new games.
Camden Sanders
PS5 is 5.5 GB uncompressed, Xbox Series X is 2.5 GB uncompressed. The 4.8GB Xbox are listed from compressed speeds, PS5 is 7-8 GB/s compressed
Pay attention
Henry Long
Calling the cosnosle OG Xbox backwards compatible when only 41 titles will work is a joke Support for only 500~ 360 titles is not very good either.
Kevin Torres
That $50-90 million funding of Death Stranding could've gone towards Q&A and engineering backwards compatibility on PS5. Hideo Kojima deserves bankruptcy.
Logan Murphy
The "ssd Is a gamechanger" gimmick smells of desperation. It's like the amount of cope that xbone had with muh dx11 and esram magical influence, that it will somehow change the fact that cpu and gpu are lacking. It still will be plenty powerful, but the whole "woah the ssd Is a miracle" notion Is a bit 6-7 years too late.
Nathaniel Richardson
how fucking dare they let you play games from every generation of xbox and update them for FREE so they run and look better on the new hardware.
piece of shit microshaft cucks, id rather ply my games on an old tv where they look like shit, or on an emulator on PC that upscales them so they look better.
>Support for only 500~ 360 titles is not very good either. That's pretty good actually.
Jose Martinez
It's a bit telling that Sony has been waiting so long to show ANYTHING about the system. They finally showed the specs but made Cerny get out there and try to make it sound better than it actually is for the low IQ horde, and they still haven't shown the system itself. Meanwhile, Microsoft has shown the system itself, the specs and a launch window. Sony is gonna' fuck this up.
Carter Perez
How fucking retarded are you? Both consoles get 99% of the same games you fanboy loser.
Isn't it cheaper to produce small high-clock GPU's in the long run? If Sony insists on selling consoles at a loss, we'll see very cheap PS5's after a refresh.
Ayden Lee
They go full retard on odd numbers consistently user.
Brody Gonzalez
Playstation isnt part of Sony Japan anymore. Jim Ryan took over and made it Playstation Global run by shitheads from california.
Samuel Jenkins
It's called last minute chip change to overclock it to pull to 10Tflops for marketing. It's a variable panic induced overclock. It's embarrassing they know being at 9TFlops and want to hide as much.
Underpowered PS5 with awful backwards compatibility compared to Xbox SEX. They can drum up their never before seen technology of SSD but it won't avail. T. Angry PS4 owner.
Isaiah Ward
One take is that kids buy consoles to play new games and this is right. But another take is that having a library of old games carry over from the past gen is good too.
If they're serious about countering MS doing what this guy says is the only answer. Porting HZD and other games on Steam wont solve this mismatch. It just makes the ps4 catalog smaller.
Also, having BC doesn't invalidate remasters, They can still sell those as new versions over the old version that has already been purchased. Someone's gotta realize that people eat shit up as long as its presented as new. All they have to do is for example, sell a remaster, state that its "PS5 version, release date 2021" and make it clear that it isn't for example the "PS4 version, 2018".
Adrian Young
I would think it'll be more expensive in the long run because you're looking at getting higher clocks out of low CUs while for the Xbox SeX prices are gonna fall in time since you're not looking to push that much performance out of more CUs so you can easily get higher yields.
Liam Butler
They're fucking up hard by not having PS1, PS2 and PS3 backwards compatibility. There's really no excuses for it, they've got the hardware power to make it happen.
John Johnson
This was never even in the cards.
The problem is X Sex X whatever goddamn will work with all Xbox One games and PS5 will work with "hundreds of" "the top" games. That's just stupid.
Carter Morales
There's space for PS3, PS2 and PS1 in that pic.
Chase Jenkins
>Be MS >Build a Backwards compatibility team >work to put in old favourites as long as fans request them and thanks to running on HyperV their work would mean all future Xbox games will be backwards compatible and brought forward >be Sony >Jim Ryan (boss of playstation) >nobody cares about backwards compatibility >this time here's our program to let you play PS2 games and PS4 games! Since it's hardware based we need to test it though but we promise we'll get through all of it in time >2 years later >no progress and it's forgotten
Sony will never do anything about backwards compatibility they just lack the skills.
Aaron Turner
Holy shit that cope. ps5 will be a glorious failure
Brayden Morales
Don't forget that somehow its up to the developer or publisher. They can't even get through old contracts of games that have passed their sales periods. If they paste the old games on a huge list and put the price tag then they will comply.
Nicholas Smith
There is this weird argument from Sony fans that they meant that only 100 games will work with the "boosted" option. which isnt what Cerny said at all.
Sony fans are super desperate for this to be more than just a "you can play PS4 games and thats it".
Also sony is super behind on basic features for playstation online, their servers are universally trash and their download speeds are atrocious. but not only that they probably dont have a clue on how to transfer over PS4 cloud saves and shit
Funny you say that considering how many Snoys on here I have seen brush off the Xbox BC as not being important or some shit. And only a committee tested selection of PS4 games? LAHMOA
Ryan Sanchez
Their loss. If this is the one point where xfags are ripping them apart then its only logical that they make a good response to it. Which they didn't.
Camden Thomas
>legacy mode will ps4 games run better on ps5 or exactly the same?
Jonathan Walker
When the realization that your digital purchases for the PS4 will be useless hits it'll be great. For Xbox we're already seeing the games run on the Xbox SeX enhanced in 4k with graphical boosts all for free. Your library of games are carried over and if there's a Xbox SeX version of the same title apparently you play that version on the Xbox SeX like what Cyberpunk is doing.
I bet Sony will force people to rebuy the same games for the PS5 since their backwards compatibility is so shit. I bet games you bought on PSN for the PS4 wont even run on the PS5, it's just gonna be a waste of money forcing publishers to rerelease them for PS5 owners to rebuy.
Caleb Johnson
Hardware based BC means it's gonna downclock itself to the same level as the PS4 and PS4 pro which means absolutely no improvements or enhancements unlike the Xbox.
Robert Cooper
fucking gay
Logan Parker
Keep doing what you do brah maybe Sony will think to actually put up a fight or something.
Brody Lee
This is definitely a game changer, and I'm saying that as a professional developer who has built a 3D engine from scratch in the past. The problem with what we're discussing right now is that it's really, really hard to communicate why this is a game changer to people who don't have the technical knowledge to understand what's going on under the hood in games, and you can't point to a specific example of possible results and say "this is how it's going to be" since the results will depend entirely on what the developer wants to achieve.
It's a big deal. If the new Xbox doesn't have something similar (and no, simply having an SSD isn't good enough), the PS5 will have a big advantage in terms of graphical fidelity, weaker GPU or not.
William Sanchez
>still have to keep my ps3 around to play MGS4 and demons souls
Mark Cerny didn't say that only 100 games will have BC.He said that 100 games were tested and will run without unintended artifacts and other games will be supported but might have bugs.Xbox saying that every game will run with BC is blatant false advertisement where several games had game breaking glitches.
James Ramirez
>source: my ass
Chase Russell
There's no application where jumping from 100MB/s to 2.5GB/s doesn't matter but 2.5GB/s to 5.5GB/s matters.
Robert Howard
>100 at launch then patch in 200 more and call it quits ah, the microsoft approach to bc then.
Bentley Jackson
Will Phil ever actually deliver on what is most important though? Since the later half of the 360 era MS has done absolutely nothing games wise, even with recently added studios it will be years before they produce anything worthwhile (if at all) Sony games are overhyped as fuck but it at least had them.
Of course Series X is more powerful. It's the One X to a Series S they are heavily rumoured to be launching at the same time. It will also be more expensive as a result. The PS5 is the base console for PlayStation, and I doubt Sony is in as much as a hurry to put out their "Pro" version just for bragging rights. If/when a PS5 Pro comes out they have the opportunity to make it the most powerful console, and Microsoft would have to release a third console to compete which is just silly.
I'm still disappointed in backwards compatibility. Not even having full BC with PS4 is incredibly misjudged, especially since one of PlayStation's big advantages going into next gen is that people would naturally want to stick with the system they're already on. They're effectively throwing away that selling point.
Doesn't make much of a difference to me because I'll be getting both as soon as they have worthwhile exclusives.
Eli Rivera
If Halo Infinite is actually good, all it takes is Fable 4 and whatever AAAA project The Initiative is working on to make a world of difference. Especially if just one of the latter is ready near or at launch (it's possible).
Bentley Howard
Sony's bungling has made me buy another PS3 for backup. I've had mine for 12 years already and I'm scared it'll die any day.
Seriously, PS3 BC would've made all the difference but besides 3 or 4 games, the PS4's library does nothing for me.
Levi Evans
No PS3 back compat is a real bummer.
Jaxson Baker
this industry has been alive longer than all of you zoomers yet you still haven't figured out games are all that matter
Henry Morris
It was never going to happen and you're a fool for thinking otherwise.
Gabriel Flores
None of that matters without full Japanese developer support.
Jason Wright
>Your library of games are carried over and if there's a Xbox SeX version of the same title apparently you play that version on the Xbox SeX like what Cyberpunk is doing. For first party games and select publishers sure, but there's no way Ubisoft/EA/Activision go along with that. Microsoft said it's an option for publishers.
Ayden Gray
neither console will have any
Jaxson Perez
MS keeps buying studios that will make games that come out day 1 in gamepass. Value wise you can just spend the money on gamepass and enjoy Xbox's growing library of 1st party games that are just gonna build and build over time.
Sony doesnt have the same value proposition and with them bringing games over to the PC, there's even less reason to pick up a PS5 because all that does is send a message that you're spending a premium on a PS5 to play it's exclusives that Sony literally gives out a year or two later at less than $10 and will be on PC instead.
Christian Parker
you're right honestly. ps4/xbone launch was abysmal
Christopher Clark
I'm could happen though. The PS5 has the same number of cores and they're very fast, so an emulator is realistic. Especially considering Ryzen CPUs can run the unofficial emulator on PC.
Ethan Baker
TERAFLOPS DON'T MATTER. Unless you're comparing two GPUs with identical Compute Units, as the Teraflops scale 1:1 with the shit that actually matter except memory speed, then it kinda do matter.
Also you ain't getting faster performance with slower memory.
Kayden Roberts
I was actually planning on buying a ps5 and Xbox series x precisely for the backwards compatibility.
Fuck, I'm really gonna have to get an upscaler for my old ps2 aren't I? Fuck I wish pcsx2 wasn't a pile of dogshit.
Parker Robinson
>lie about specs >will be a housefire-tier boring vcr looking thing >still weaker >chadbox has superior skyscraper design that reaches out to the cloud >this kills the sonyroach
Then you might see PS3 games available for purchase on PSN, which is what happened the last two times they wrote an emulator.
Daniel Moore
If you actually seem the conference (it's boring i know), it's hardware layer of compatibility, but as it tosses more CPU and GPU performance into the existing games, some games may break because they're not made with the extra performance in mind.
Which means we're probably not getting bloodborne at launch due from software being from software.
Robert Wilson
can somebody explain why PS5 is listed in the Backwards Compatibility section? And why would PS5 emulate PS4 if it can simply emulate every game in the Pro mode?
Leo Nguyen
I was never knew there would be any backwards compatibility so i'm happy
Colton Morgan
They didn't lied about the specs, they pretended the Xbox Sex don't exist and did the entire conference as PS5 vs PS4/Xbox one
Caleb Ortiz
Why cant they let me play my ps1 discs on my modern tv? Is that too much to ask?
Parker Diaz
I’m really curious on that AAAA game. What could they even mean? 300 million dollar budget with Martin Scorsese directing and and Rockstar level detail?
Julian Moore
Same here. I guess I'll wait.
Adam Wood
Who the fuck cares about raw power, where the video games at.
Just re-buy it if you can! (protip you can't, PS4 port library is an absolute disgrace if compared to the PS3 library)
Jeremiah Anderson
And 8 years of dev time
Zachary Roberts
that's a lot of IF's LOL. stockholm syndrome with microsoft continues to amaze me. this is coming from someone who doesn't give a single fuck about sony's first party
Jonathan Reed
I just cant understand why did they ditch the ps1 classics titles, ps1 games can run on anything
Ian Ramirez
In the last two years there was a Marvel exclusive on PS4, and a Marvel exclusive on Nintendo Switch. Would be interesting if Xbox got one too. I believe they were hiring people to work on a real world setting.
Carson Gray
I hope MS lets you install Xbox 360/OG/One discs to the SSD/HDD, I hate having to disc swap.
Dylan Gray
Xbox literally just needs one power exclusive. AAA isn’t enough, I get the whole AAAA thing but I’m just struggling to imagine what it could entail. MS has the money
>Sony fans are super desperate for this to be more than just a "you can play PS4 games and thats it". that's actually BETTER than what this really is. the ps5 is going to play less than 100 ps4 games at launch, period, and anyone who thinks they'll ever add more must have forgotten how quickly they gave up on adding ps2 classics.
Isaac Rogers
It's a PC you retard
Ryder Thomas
I’m just curious on what Ms will do. Their new console is definitively better than Sony’s, now they just need a fucking game.
Henry Jones
Only the games matter and neither has any so fuck you
Carter Garcia
>he actually believed a Twitter rumor
Lincoln Murphy
The only guarantee of success is getting japanese gamers who want to play depressing games alone on board.
David Richardson
I'm indifferent. This is only an issue for retards who buy consoles at launch. I'll be waiting for a price drop and seeing which has the preferable library when it does.
Ryan Cooper
PC made with a milk crate and some sort of expanding foam
Xavier Allen
500 is more than ZERO, good bait
Henry James
If people cared about power, the Switch would have flopped. As long as Sony can bring the games, everyone who bought a PS4 will by a PS5 by default.
Liam Wood
The whole SSD thing is a gimmick for catering to tech-illiterate masses, there's a very marginal difference between PCIe4 NVMe drives & the older SATA3 drives when it comes to random reading such as your programs & video games, which is what the consoles are for. It only becomes noticeable when you're dealing with single large files like a movie project and such. Sony is grasping at straws.
