Sony announcing a bunch of info about PS5 today at 4pm. Can watch here:

Doesn't sound like we will see the console or hear much about games but it will reveal what's under the hood

This isn't really a presentation for the layman. What I gathered:

• 825GB SSD
• AMD GPU
  • supports Ray Tracing
  • backwards compatibility with PS4 games (almost all at launch)
  • similar but not equal to upcoming AMD PC cards
• AMD Zen 2 CPU
• 16GB GDDR6 RAM
• New 3D audio Tempest Engine based on AMD GPU
  • not reliant on Dolby Atmos hardware support/compatibility
  • Headphone audio is the gold standard
  • Virtual surround sound for TV speakers
  • Users' hearing different, can pick presets to get optimal 3D sound

Warone is a laugh, prob best Battle Royale yet. It's skill based match making is excellent, joined a server with two mates who are legitimately boss at FPS and people we were going up against were all pretty legit... then played a couple of rounds with my two potato aim mates and we got matches against absolute wasters.

Never played FM in my life, downloaded it an hour ago, already overwhelmed and confused, uninstalled.

Yeah it wasn't quite what I expected. I checked out pretty quickly

It was originally a developers' conference. Not really consumer focussed at all. Some people are proper mad they didn't get a picture.

Wow well done, best I finished is 7th. I'm not very good so I hide for most of it and wait for someone to find me which always makes me jump haha

Yeah I get edgy as hell when the gas centres too far from me so I have to move away from an area I've become comfortable in.
Helped myself out by putting a sniper in my load out. Assault rifles are all over the place so I can grab a load out, keep the sniper and pick my AR back up. Also a big fan of closing doors. Gives me that extra clue that someone's closing on me

The game is terrible from a sound and optimisation POV.

We have been playing mostly Plunder, so its reasonably fun, my PC cant handle it so trying to kill people with 2 FPS isnt working out for me, but we managed a 3rd last night!

The graphics are also absolute dog dirt IMO for Warzone.

I havent judged the graphics cos ive got everything turned to low.

But my 2 mates both have very good PCs and they said it still runs like complete rubbish.

My FPS is still brilliant and your character is fine but the environment is absolutely crap. Looking through a sniper scope is like a Jackson Pollock.

The sounds are mad - the gunshots in particular can be heard from absolutely anywhere, yet footsteps and the like are like walking on carpet.

Had 2 wins and a whole load of losses, both wins whilst playing with two mates. Be astonished if a team ever wins without communicating over a headset, quite tactical but i'm really enjoying it. It has a lot of flaws but for a first release it's pretty impressive.

I've been playing for over a decade now. It's an incredible game if you can get stuck into it, but I can only imagine how overwhelming it is for a new player. It has a massive learning curve and is a huge timesink. Can easily spend 20 hours on pre season alone.

Hahahahahahaahahaha

 

[Nymzee]

Hahahahahahaahahaha

Genuinely haven't haha I tried with FM15 but I just don't understand it; far too many things to do. Want to get into it. I enjoyed Soccer Manager back in IT lessons at school.
