Re: Doubt Cast Over PS5 Pro Actually Releasing This Year

RAPlayStation

I think the turbulence is come from the supply of the new CPU, now a day, if the margin of your product is not high enough to bids the price to secure the supply of the chip, you are squeezed out, low volume supply, that mean you have a shortage when your product launch, AMD unable to secure the supply of their AI Hi-End series, not even Intel.
Apple and Nvidia eat up most of the productivity, their markup is enough to bid the price from the supply side, maybe even good enough to make TSMC to turn down other customer, TSMC and everything related to semiconductor industry are unable to catchup the demand around the world, 7nm or below on high tide too.
I think the volume AMD/SONY has call and the bid/ask of the chip between demand and supply is dynamic and keep changing, all of this affect the PS5 Pro market price, and how many stock are able to put on the shelf.
Bid high to secure the supply, PS5 pro will have a bad price tag; Good product and price, but is it sufficient to fulfill the demand? Shortage for a year or more again?
It is not a market for $50/pcs, how many do you want? Buy more and then there is an offer.It is an auction, a gambling, you bid more for the stock to sell, but can you sell them out? Lower the cost will lower the risk, but when there is a shortage, your financial figures will look bad…

Re: Next Like a Dragon Title a Surprise for Fans, RGG Studio Teases

Lean to SLG? Managing business and combine turn base action game, fight for the gang to conquer more place?
For me, I really really want a Real open world map, like GTA or Sleeping Dogs style, not block by a “No Entry Sign”.

Like a Dragon should enlarge its scale, gangster story include Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong…, it will be a unbeatable free and open world style game.
Long time ago, I wish Sleeping Dogs can has this structure, block by block, location by location, build up a Asian Style GTA…
Open world and Free to Beat Anyone in all those cities is attractive to both western and eastern market.🤞🏼🤞🏼

Re: PlayStation Returns as TGS Exhibitor for the First Time Since 2019

Please give me the PS5Pro, launch it around the holiday season, my money is ready.
To me, PS5Pro should be a Complete console in this generation.
PS4 complete the FullHD, PS4Pro is a half baked 4K console with unacceptable loading time, PS5 is acceptable 4K but it launch at the moment of ray tracing rising, the effect is stunning, but PS5 is not quite capable to handle this well, just intermediate level, low resolution in reflection(720p?), omitted RT here or there, frame rate drop or lower graphic setting to maintain RT run in 30fps…etc, well, beside all of these, game developer did a very good job to push the limit, for example, Spiderman on PS5 is a masterpiece, actually when PS5 just launched, not even PC can handle AAA at 4K/60/RT.
For coming PS5Pro, it should be a well balancing console in 4K/RT/Frames rate/Graphic Effect, I am happy to wait and buy it.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Targeting September 2024, Will Have Proprietary Upscaling Tech

RAPlayStation

It is a console to run all the game now “quality mode”,”fidelity mode”…etc, from 30 fps to 60fps, then “normal mode” to 120fps, may some game add a “pro mode”( better ray-tracing, more clear and detail texture, Sony DLSS?) @30fps. Lower power consuming, lower cpu temperature turn out quieter fan, smaller, lighter, upgrade bluetooth and wifi spec..
And, higher price.
That’s it.

PS6? Edge AI..whatever~

Re: Apple Insinuates iPhone 15 Pro Will Be a Better Games Console Than PS5, PS4

RAPlayStation

I am not an Apple fan, but iP15 gen does show its potential to be a console, people may arguing the screen size, battery life, touch screen controlling, but, we have to think about what is a gaming console first. 55” 4K? Pro- gamer gamepad? PS5 not even has a screen, the 55” 4K is our TV! Battery life? PS5 not even works when we don’t have a power cord.
Let consider a iP15 Pro Max with a dongle which make a 4k rt output (usb to hdmi?)and a charging port for the phone battery, it just like the power cord and a hdmi cable of PS5, and iPhone has bluetooth connection for game pad too, think about we are able to put a PS5 grade console in a pocket? And how about there are some mini games to play during the iPhone is “unplug”, those mini game may earn some exp, skill, or $ for the Main Game, the player can casually play whenever they are available, it will merge the portable gaming device and desktop console in a user friendly way, Nintendo ‘s Switch did it, but not that powerful for AAA games and the size is way bigger than a iPhone, and lack of the usage of a smart phone.
To be honest, iPhone 15 may not be quite capable to make these transition come true, yet, but it seems the future is not too far.

“I want to make Gran Turismo 7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways”
Then please adjust the car prices and the scale of the in-game currency reward, to let the player enjoy your masterpiece.
“…and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again.”
Wait, you mean the MTX encouraging the player to pay more and play lesser??
You build a game and find the way to avoid the player to play(challenge) it over and over again?
Are you serious?
GT is simulating we have to drive or challenge an event, a track or even just a corner again and again to sharpen the driving skill, or Yamauchi is simulating the rich guy will have an advantage?
Well, I may say your Racing Simulator is too realistic.XD

Re: E3 2019: PS5 Will Cost $800, Jokes Analyst Michael Pachter in Wild Prediction

USD$449
PS5 announcement around March 2020, available to US/ JP market on June, then Asia and Euro after Olympics, Tokyo Olympics is a free ride of promoting the PS5, no matter Xbox20 will do, provide nearly the same experience to the player, PC as the base, all available tech and components on the market to build these 2 consoles are almost the same, it is about the game library.
Sony is on the right pace, everything going just a little bit earlier than MS, even the price reduction. Let see...
