 Hey everyone we get to talk today a little bit about PlayStation 5 and some maybe troubling signs for what people were hoping the PlayStation 5 would be capable of and why it might not matter. I don't know we'll get into that but before we do before we do I got to remind you that we are giving away a copy of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles remastered edition. All you have to do to enter the contest is to comment on this video like the video subscribe to the channel hit that bell icon also we are on a road to 50,000 subscribers if we hit 50k before the month of November 2020 we will be giving away an Xbox Series X a PlayStation 5 or a Nintendo Switch to one lucky winner if we hit 50k after that we'll still do something special for it but it won't be quite the big launch system celebration that I'm hoping it will become that being said let's get into the news and this comes from a guy on twitter who is actually a game developer he goes by at aesthetic gamer one his name is Ryan he works for ya gameworks who's you know made games like cryptic and stuff like that so kind of an indie dev but has worked in the industry for a little while and he's got some connections and somebody on twitter asked him this at Diego 70884986 asked him any news about the performance of PlayStation 5 on Capcom's graphic engine because Capcom as we all know was actually one of the reasons that Nintendo doubled the RAM and switch even though Capcom ended up not really bringing much over anyways who knows maybe there's a monster hunter or something in the works there could be something but he had a long little twitter thread here three tweets explaining what he's heard from Capcom's side of things but let's just get into it because this doesn't sound great for Sony but again things aren't sounding great for Microsoft right now either something's up with these next gen systems but let's get into Sony here first it says I'm going to hate myself later for responding to this so I can feel it people attracted to this sort of topic are horribly toxic but a lot of people misinterpreted what I said which is partially my fault of course Resident Evil 8 will run fine on launch that was never a question by me and this is in response to an earlier tweet that Diego was responding to but people should be ready for the real possibility that the ps5 is going to end up being more expensive console between the two I'm trying not to say much here as I was asked not to but prepare yourself which does put Xbox X in a position that it'll be the less expensive and more powerful console I used Resident Evil 8 as an example but I've heard from other devs that PlayStation 5 struggles with 4k games in particular so you'll see a lot of fake 4k that doesn't matter to some but get ready for that too Xbox X doesn't have the same problem so what he's basically saying is in direct comparison on the developer side especially for Resident Evil 8 and the Capcom's game engine in particular that the PlayStation 5 really really struggles running native 4k especially if you probably want 60 fps it's it's just it's not that it's not possible it's that you really have to dial back the game to do that where you don't actually have to do that the Xbox X and it's curious because Xbox Series X of course is what he means and it's curious here because there is technically a power gap between the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 while the PlayStation 5 might have the faster of the of the SSDs everything else is basically leaning Xbox Series X's way they have a faster CPU they have a more consistent faster paced GPU and it allows them to attain a higher performance level and that performance level difference which is almost almost two full teraflops on the GPU side is definitely enough to make a difference in the resolution now remember resolutions have to be all end all this doesn't mean that suddenly Sony's games are not going to be any good that's that's just hogwash anyone who's shilling out there that the Sony's in trouble and you know they can't do 4k like let's just be honest here most people are not going to notice a difference between a checkerboard rendered upscaled 4k game versus a non you know a native 4k game most people most consumers are not going to know the difference even if you got that big 65 75 inch TV most people are not going to see the difference but I'm obviously not most people I do notice resolution differences and I'll be able to tell personally but it doesn't mean the games are going to be bad we've already seen checkerboard rendering and you know that's just one technique there's other techniques as well in this current generation where it takes an image on like you know the Xbox one X or the PlayStation 4 pro and then you know makes it into you know quote unquote 4k but it's not really 4k we've seen this with Assassin's Creed and some other games so I think that it is interesting that on the developer side it definitely appears that the Xbox Series X that power difference matters on development side maybe more so than the SSD speed difference at least for multi-platform games so it definitely looks like the Xbox Series X has a massive advantage over the PlayStation 5 and that's that's pretty interesting this is obviously in addition to the news that came up before where you know PlayStation 4 controllers work on a PlayStation 5 but won't work with PlayStation 5 made games not true with Microsoft granted there is a bigger difference between the DualSense controller and the DualShock controller than there is between the Xbox you know one or Xbox Series X controller versus the Xbox one there actually isn't that much of a difference between those controllers at all which is fine as they say don't fix you know don't don't fix what isn't broken uh Xbox has been lauded for their controllers for quite some time so why fix it you know Sony was lauded as well so they stuck with the DualShock design for a long time now there is bad news on Microsoft's side of the aisle of course uh if you haven't heard I don't know how you haven't at this point Halo Infinite as delayed to 2021 uh they put out a post three four three put out a post talking about you know needing to to meet expectations and and do more work on the game and people viewed this as supporting uh the rumors out there that there was development hell with Halo Infinite which haven't been substantiated by anyone by the way I have to throw that out there there actually is no real evidence that there was development issues other than the delay now it's interesting with that delay because literally it was a month ago Xbox and Phil Spencer were adamant this is coming out on launch uh so to see that change a month later makes me feel like it's the public backlash that that made it happen um I've heard some things behind the scenes I'm not going to get dabbled too much into it because I don't want to get people in trouble but uh what I will say is it sounds like the backlash over the visuals uh really hit three four three and Microsoft hard so hard they're willing to delay the game to try to make it more visually appealing uh the next time that they show it so uh yeah that seems to be uh what's going on at least uh and I think the evidence supports that as well like people feel like oh it's being delayed that means there's development issues I'm like no the game's probably ready to go right now it's just hey there was a huge backlash over the visuals they're gonna do something about that because this is their tentpole franchise at Microsoft they're not gonna let the tentpole franchise release when people think it looks ugly uh I didn't really think it looked as bad as people made it out to me but I also recognize it was an Xbox one game originally not an xgen game so uh you know to me it's kind of like complaining that Breath of the Wild didn't look next gen because it was a Wii U game I you know what am I supposed to complain about there now that being said uh this is a very very interesting because obviously they talk about the price difference here and how PlayStation 5 is actually going to be more expensive than the Xbox Series X and that he can't really go into details because he's not supposed to he doesn't want to get anyone in trouble but I find that very very interesting that uh some dev developers I guess already know what the cost of the platforms are going to be for the end consumer and uh it's crazy to me to think that the more powerful system is going to be cheaper again it actually happened this current generation PlayStation 4 was more powerful than the Xbox one and it was a hundred dollars cheaper at launch granted it was because Microsoft forced connect in the box but still it was the cheaper system and the more powerful one it appears like for a second generation in a row though technically more powerful system is going to end up being cheaper won't go into what those prices are are we talking 499 PlayStation 5 versus the 399 uh Xbox Series X are we talking uh 399 PlayStation 5 versus a 299 Xbox Series X you know Microsoft going to be that aggressive with the price you remember Microsoft can be really aggressive with pricing because they don't need uh to make money on the systems they sell because the money that they make all comes from subscription services like Game Pass and obviously they have a beta of xCloud actually coming on an android today or tomorrow uh for Game Pass Ultimate members uh so you know Microsoft is already starting to test that to get it out in the market this holiday so yeah Microsoft got a completely different approach now obviously there's been concerns over uh with Halo Infinite delayed what's Microsoft got in uh you know it slotted in for launch um I have heard that there is something else uh that Microsoft kind of I guess had kind of like a backup plan um game that they could bring out it won't nothing's going to be as big as Halo for them so let's just you know put the kibosh right there that nothing really replaces Halo Infinite it's like uh you know Nintendo's got multiple IPs in the barrel they could throw it there at launch you know whether it's Zelda whether it's Mario um you can get a Mario Kart out there those are really the two big franchises they could have a Pokemon game at launch now based on you know the fact that Pokemon games come to their main systems but um I do think that uh Microsoft's gonna have something it just might not be super impressive but uh what I I gotta caution people on is do you guys remember the launch of PlayStation 4 and the Xbox one I mean what were the killer apps back then what Rise Sonorome what you know a new uh Far Cry or whatever or what what was that what was that game uh follow not a follow game I keep forgetting what was the kill zone that's right it was a kill zone game on PlayStation 4 those were the tentpole launch games for PlayStation 4 and Xbox one and we're supposed to freak out because Halo Infinite's not going to be there supposed to freak out because you know maybe Sony doesn't have you know Sony's got the the Spider-Man game right so that's like this big deal this Miles Morales game and that's great it is a big deal but it's also you know I I I guess it's we just came off a generation that didn't have any killer apps for a long time so I don't know why we're freaking out here I do think that no matter what what advantages the Xbox Series X has it's not going to sell as well as the PlayStation 5 Sony has a lot of momentum and a lot of markets I do think the Xbox Series X is going to sell really well in the United States however and I think that's uh the market that that Microsoft personally uh worries about the most anyways they want to own the United the US market over PlayStation 5 um but obviously they would love to uh you know extend their reach into uh Europe and the Asian countries uh and then really try to get into Japan if they can but uh they they struggled penetrating Japan for some time uh so we'll see if they could pull that off maybe x clouds that are way into there I don't know but um it's uneniable that there's different approaches here um because even though uh Xbox Series X is more powerful now sounds like it's going to be the cheaper system um it sounds like it's going to be able to run games in in true 4k way more often than PlayStation 5 10 uh and uh they have the one of the greatest deals in in gaming and game pass where you can buy this pass you know for one fee per year or a smaller fee per month and get access to all of the exclusive games dating back to the Xbox One library and moving forward day one on the Xbox Series X plus they add in third great third-party games in here and there as well it's almost becoming like a Netflix uh kind of delivery of games uh you know even though it's not streaming you know back when Netflix used to send send out DVDs and you can rent things and all that well hey here you're not renting you just get it as long as you're subscribed so I like uh that strategy and obviously uh Sony seems to be going more the traditional route uh we're going to sell packaged goods uh and digital goods and we're not going to offer a cheap way to get all our stuff uh and to me fair Sony is technically the market leader in home consoles uh so they are going to do what they're going to do because it's proven and they're going to keep doing it I think until it doesn't work anymore and I think it's going to work just fine this generation um now we could get into the Nintendo but actually have a separate video I'll be doing on them uh so we'll we'll get into some of the stuff going on with that but I just really wanted to talk about this because it's it's a interesting point thrown out there by an uh what appears to be a developer he's also a moderator at Reset Arrow for anyone who actually thinks that matters um so yeah I don't know you guys let me know what you think about all this down in the comments below obviously commenting liking subscribing hitting the bell I can get you an entry into our giveaway uh let's keep spreading the stuff around let's get the 50k because I would really really want to run that giveaway for you guys I thank you so much for tuning in and I'm gonna catch each and every one of you in the next video
