Just watched this great interview from GameIndustry.biz. Shawn Layden talking about the gaming industry is always informative but I found this interview particularly interesting and very topical. Also, I thought it might be good to have a specific thread to chat about the signs and portents from the dire happenings during 2023 and the first half of 2024 and what it could mean for the future:
Not a massive fan of Red Gaming Tech if I’m honest but I do appreciate the thoughts of Mark Cerny whenever he makes them public. Some interesting stuff here that undoubtedly provides an insight into what he must be considering when preparing PS5 Pro and PS6:
@colonelkilgore Got about half way through before bed last night, as usual he's talking too much sense. Thanks for posting mate. He's starting to resemble an old sage or some kind of gaming samurai 😂
Yeah I was completely enamored by it. It’s Shawn Layden after all. While I usually have a pretty high attention span, not many interesting talkers like him today.
@AgentCooper yeah the beard, hair in a bun and super chilled delivery really does give off that vibe. Love listening to the guy.
Same same, I completely forgot to get back to this thread after I was done listening since I got caught up in usual weekend shenanigans, cooking, travel plans but this was super chilled. Totally my kinda stuff.

Yeah Mark is a G. Has his name printed on all the good stuff. Super fun guy to listen to and this’ll be great to watch while having my afternoon tea right now. It’s a pretty chill Saturday today.
@Yousef- enjoy buddy, unfortunately RGT is merely quoting Cerny from a text-based interview so we don’t get to listen to his Deadpool-esque delivery… the info itself is choice though 🤌
So I haven’t actually watched this yet but… the combination of the thumbnail and the content-creator was enough for me to leave this here and I’ll catch it later. RGT is in no way infallible (and I personally find his delivery a bit annoying) but he does seem to have some sources and has probably gotten more right than he has wrong in the 5 or 6 years I’ve been watching his stuff:
Oh nice to see another post here
My old posts here really take me back, I was really nervous and unsure if I could make friends 😅 could not be any happier to be proven wrong
Cool stuff colonel 😃I’ll give it a listen over the tea I just made
Potential ps6 specs? Whether this is a genuine leak or not… I’m sure the final product will probably differ a fair bit by the time we get there. Interesting all the same though:
Been waiting for a good investigative video into the Concord debacle… and while this wasn’t everything I was hoping for (I’d love some interviews with some of the team involved and ultimately burned) this was pretty decent:
Some information on how the current (and presumably ongoing) RAM situation may impact the release date for the PS6… as well as mention of how it could impact the Steam Machine and also the Switch 2:
@Spectralmews I think the next ‘Xbox’ will simply be various OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturer) in much the same way that the Asus ROG Ally S and Ally X are… ie essentially a PC, like the Ally S/X are essentially handheld PCs.
Basically, I think the various PC manufacturers like Asus, Dell, Lenovo etc. would go to Microsoft to purchase the Xbox Magnus chip… and then assemble the remainder of each respective product using the various other components required of their choice. It’ll be a PC in all but name… much like the Ally S and Ally X are handheld PCs in all but name.
@CaptD 🤣 I the issue with RAMageddon (trade marked 😉) is that they’re no longer being traded at all. I’ve heard that Open AI et al are literally just buying up the whole factories that produce RAM, both for their own ends… and to prevent their competitors from having access to it.
