There's too much volatility between shipping numbers, USPS/Courier fuckery, and Covid-poo poo to have a zillion angry gamers wondering where their Bugsnax is. Wal-Mart just re-confirmed a Nov. 12 delivery date for me so we'll see I guess

Shammypants posted:Devil may cry 5, they said reductions of 18 seconds from what they could see. I know it was brought up briefly already but it didn't seem to be at all impressive to anyone. I was genuinely curious why not because that seems pretty good. For DMC that's a game they took the time to remaster, so just straight BC games probably won't be that dramatic. Still promising for the next-gen games, though

Vietnom nom nom posted:My moderately cool take is that SSD's are going to be the defining feature of this generation and it has nothing to do with load times (well, a little to do with load times). First party PS5 games are going to be where we see that the most, but only ones that aren't cross-gen (not Horizon: Forbidden West) and designed from the ground up around those capabilities (not Demon's Souls). Really only the new Ratchet & Clank game has given us a view of what it could mean. My prediction is a lot of early next-gen games will feature flying over quickly changing landscapes or jumping through portals, and then people will get bored of that pretty quick

I don't think I can tell a difference between 60fps and 144fps, most likely because I'm just too sleep-deprived for my brain to keep up with more frames. I've tried watching demo videos and can really only tell the difference in slo-mo, but I don't have much of an eye for it

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:I'm not about to make an assertion regarding DF as an outlet, but the video is kinda bad. There's a lot of time spent talking about a console that's not actually the subject of the video being 'a powerhouse', after which they call the PS5 'toyota-like'. Also, the use of the term 'nuclear option' with reference to a cooling situation on a japanese product which is...weird. There was another article about PS5 not a few weeks ago that referred to a UI change on the PS5 as an 'atomic' development or something. The Toyota thing and "nuclear option" are both compliments in context. In manufacturing circles Toyota is a touchstone for their lean style, and the liquid cooling is a major step Sony took after the PS4 has loud fans and inconsistent cooling

I just got an LG CX in anticipation of PS5/XSX after having a trash TV for forever and want to see what it can do. Pick up a 4K bluray or two if you really want to give it a workout. For streaming maybe try Our Planet on Netflix.

UI looks fine but there's no real way of knowing until I get my hands on it. Surprised and a little disappointed they didn't highlight a Quick Resume-like feature. At least it looks snappy. The new party system is more or less exactly how I use it now so that's good.

Fedule posted:Well. There's the caveat that I make no claims regarding the X's success with its plan. Maybe they ballsed it up. I'm just saying, if it fails, that's what they're failing at. In this case it seems like "simpler" is also, probably, better. There's a tradeoff on the size but it also means manufacturing defects and failure rates are likely lower

What's the best-case scenario here? They were using this as a soft launch for the new party system to see how people liked it and they have a more traditional version ready or close to ready? Otherwise they're either rushing to make last-minute changes or the PS5 comes out with an IOU

I might be insulated because I don't watch TV but PS5 is the console of the holiday season without question, most people aren't even sure what the new XBox is loving called on social media Not needing to handle the roll-out well doesn’t really change the fact that they don’t seem to be handling the roll-out well though

John Wick of Dogs posted:Lol my PS5 controller will be most often charged on my Nintendo switch dock. Even the simple stuff is kind of frustrating. “Smart Delivery” is mostly just a marketing term, but you can Google that easily and find an up-to-date list on Microsoft’s site. With the PS you have to search for “free upgrade to PS5” or similar and wade through five gmerzone.biz sites until you find the one that won’t lock you out for using an adblocker, and even then it may or may not be up to date

morallyobjected posted:I hate to break it to you but Multiple colors is perfectly fine. In this case the black and white are both equally eye-grabbing and it takes your brain too long to figure out what you're looking at. There's no hierarchy to it Straight-on the PS2 is pretty brutal, but from a top-down view (the way most people would regularly be looking at it) the overhang looks great. Your eye clocks the shape and color then picks out the smaller details:  Meanwhile the PS5 is pretty ugly from every angle, though I do think the discless version looks better and also looks best from that viewpoint:

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:I think the PS4 spec got a boost because it was never really premium hardware to begin with. The PS4 was designed to be low cost / easy entry. From day one the biggest deal about it was that it actually had enough ram for smaller devs to play around again and not just AAA studios. PS5 looks like a significantly more relevant technological development imo, a merging of the custom hardware design philosophy of PS3 with the friendly development threshold of PS4. It will absolutely get a revision, but probably just smaller and cheaper rather than added functionality like the Pro. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is planning on doing a refresh halfway through the lifecycle, so they always have a premium $500 model and a budget $300 model. What's now the X replaces the S when that's financially doable, and the new top-of-the-line model replaces the X. Sony might just do their own thing in that situation but I doubt they'd want a competitor having one up on them John Wick of Dogs posted:There's 8k.
