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:
@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:
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.
I just found out about the whole RAM situation and, whew, those price increases are absolutely insane! I looked at the RAM that I currently have in my gaming PC, and it's gone up in price by about €200 in just two months. I've never been more glad that I splurged for the 32 GB instead of 16 GB back in the day. Suddenly seems like a decision of great foresight! It's almost to the point where RAM is getting more expensive than the graphics card. Crazy.
@graymamba And RAMageddon is a great pun. I'm stealing that and giving no credit whatsoever.
