During AMD's CES press conference, Xbox Division head Phil Spencer joined the graphics giant's CEO Lisa Su on stage to talk about the partnership between the two companies.
The talented music maker discusses her process, challenges and, of course, magic!
Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.
Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.
Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.
They already have AI trained to do coding.......
How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.
I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.
As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.
could this mean the next xbox would be using the newly announced 3rd gen ryzen and vega VII (or a derivative of those)?
And not a single eyebrow was raised lol. Consoles like single System on a Chip designs. APUs, as it were. AMD can provide that while no one else really can. Intel had that interesting partnership with AMD for better performing integrated graphics on laptops and NUCs, but that seems to have already disappeared. Nvidia has Tegra, but they don't really have any high end, high TDP variants with strong CPU IPCs. So it was pretty much a given we'd see AMD powering both consoles next gen.
We at least got some leaks to indicate Sony has been working closely with AMD for a higher end APU with AMDs newer technologies baked in. Not sure if that means those specific tweaks will be exclusive to Sony, but it'll be interesting to see how different these machines are next gen, and how powerful an APU can actually be created.
I'd love for one of the console makers to come out with a console that's as powerful as like an enthusiast PC from 2 years before they launch (i.e. a rig from 2018, if they launch in 2020). It'd be amazing to see what they could create with more power from the get go, and to allow that base model to last even longer through the generation.
Nvidia is too expensive but I hope Sony return back to Nvidia just so the PS5 won't be a Sony version of the Nextbox. The PS4 and Xbox One are too similar. The PS3, however, was unique in comparison to the Xbox 360, there was a reason to get a PS3 and it was more powerful and full of innovation. PS4? It's a slightly more powerful Xbox One, that's all. The SNES wasn't like the Genesis, it was unique. You have to differentiate yourself, otherwise Sony and Microsoft might as well team up to make a single console rather than make us buy the same console twice.
I sort of hope we see one of those Intel/AMD chips that we seen go into the Intel NUC's early last year. Intel CPU AMD GPU. Might raise the cost of the PS5/Nextbox but might be worth it.
But I would be happy with see next gen consoles have a APU based on Zen and Vega.
Another AMD box seems about right. Just make sure that you don't put a mobile cpu in it.
