I think elvis' stance is more than reasonable.
Course it is, don't think anybody said otherwise (other than where it's obvious trolling equal to elvis own)

Just picking a console because it's personal preference and you like the brand is fair enough. But this thread isn't about fair enoughs!

On PlayStation®5, all games will be backward compatible except the following ones: Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Trilogy Pack, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles India, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Russia, Risk, Star Trek Bridge Crew, Werewolves Within, Space Junkies.
list of the games:

Back to this

Unless you're a big JRPG player then Xbox will likely have a number of exclusive games for you. Racers, shooters, platformers, multiplayer experiences, story driven 1st person narratives and then the odd quirky game - Xbox is going to have you covered in the near future.

That'll move the needle for some on Gamepass for sure but less so on consoles themselves. Many people will still keep to PS5 - just cause they've always had PlayStation and like PS and have enough games already.

And that's totally cool. And how most products work.

But it flies in the face of the people here who would bang on about PlayStation 4 being far superior cause of power (not looking to be true), cause they trust PS more to be pro-consumer and focus on gamers (there was a lot about this at the start of last gen - MS are miles ahead here now) and then the last real argument, the games and Xbox's lack of.

People here will still claim Xbox has nothing for them when it's putting out games they'd have no doubt bought if on PlayStation.
Honestly I think I was in a hiatus from this place during the PS4/Xbox announcement/release and I wasn't gaming much at that point so I didn't even get it at launch, so not sure what was said/argued back then.

You're probably right regards the games, but PS still beat Xbox hands down when it comes to exclusives. This may of course change over the course of this generation (and again I've always said there's a high chance of me being the Series S up at some point).

So next gen has been won by Xbox as a result of that.

It’s game over for you. Come back when the PS6 is announced, I am sure they’d do a decent job and replace Jimmy with someone competent.

Nobody as far as I’m aware has denied the XSX is more powerful than the PS5 - I just believe the difference to be minimal and not a major factor for 99% of gamers. As I’ve long said when being serious it’s all about games (who’d have thought) - and PS has always had games I’m more interested in and that doesn’t look to be changing any time soon.
Erm..
I don’t know any thing about wegaflops or petachunks but all of my sources have told me that if you take a deeper look under the hood of the PS5, it’s much more powerful than the Series X.

The thing with me is I dont really play exclusives- I play the COD's, the Overwatches, the PES or Fifa, the Tekkens.

I tend to play the games seen on both consoles so il be waiting to see a month or two after to see which console is better. I did the wrong thing last generation and went for the xbox one when everyone was talking about the PS4 being better after its release. I ended up selling the xbox and buying a ps4.

Il just wait and see what the reviews are before I blow my money.

So not all games play on the new console despite 500k+ hours? Pathetic.
No that’s about PS5. The Xbox tweet is separate to that to show how much testing they have done. Seems your boys have been slacking and just booting up games to see if they work.

Pexbo you're meant to be on my side!
Apparently everyone is now saying that “critics have to fabricate shit to catch Elvis out“ because his debate game has got that strong.

Yeah, they've spent 500k hours making sure every single game works (despite the fact 99% of the games won't get touched) and even then some of them still don't work. Pathetic.

Description for both is different and they said it’s full 4K to windows central last month.

Xbox has the extra horsepower, which for some odd reason @afrocentricity was trying to deny the other day.
Was I? I think it'll make as much difference as it did for the one X... feck all.

Where's the next gen exclusive gameplay btw? How we getting on with that?

Demon’s Souls from Japan Studio and Bluepoint Games
From Japan Studio and Bluepoint Games comes a remake of the PlayStation classic, Demon’s Souls. In addition to beautiful shadow effects and ray tracing, players can choose between two graphics modes while playing: one focused on fidelity, and one focused on frame rate.
LEVEL UP recently had the opportunity to interview Gavin Moore, Creative Director for Demon's Souls and a member of SIE Japan Studio, about various elements of the game. Of course, one of the topics that were touched on was the graphic section.

Now the question is, if the PlayStation 5 can be raytraced and it could have been implemented in Demon's Souls , why leave it out? As explained by Moore, it was a decision they made since it was something that was outside their initial ideal of the project. Also, there is a certain cost to implement it and they preferred to prioritize other elements.

“It's like any other graphic improvement, there is a cost [to implement raytracing]. If we had implemented ray tracing in the game, that would mean that we would have had to leave something out. There is a limited time in game development"

When we started development we didn't know there would be ray tracing in the game, so it wasn't in our original vision. What we wanted to focus on was the settings and the look of the characters. Everything is lighting in real time with shadows in real time ”, were the words of Moore.

I'm bored of the fanboy shite now :lol: was funny for about a week.

Now it's just a yawnfest.

Just give us actual news and gameplay footage and stuff.

All you going through 20 articles to find one bad article about something to do with the console you're not in love with.

No it’s called resetera. No need to go through 20 articles.

Think you forgotten the purpose of this thread. But yeah saying stuff is in the game back in June and then saying it isn’t close to launch isn’t lying then what is?

If you want news then go in the official threads. I posted yesterday that PS VR support on PS5 is dead. There’s your news.

You seem to enjoy it because all I seem to see now is you posting in this thread. Post news about Demon’s Soul not supporting ray tracing and you are saying you want news. I’m sorry if I’m not giving you the news you want to hear.
