The SSD on the PS5 will allow Sony’s first party studios to have more freedom in level design. The absence of loading times will eliminate “elevator” scenes, pointless tunnels or mazes, allow for instantly jumping through multiple universes, etc.

People may not realize it now, but I really think the “no loading” and improved audio for all (as opposed to improved audio for those with high-end sound systems) will really change the way we think about games and elevate the standards in the industry.

Exactly. Brand new consoles traditionally had “weak” specs and always managed to impress thanks to stellar optimization. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next generation of consoles can do with specs comparable to high-end PCs.

It looks like Akira’s ending.

Luckily 2020 is very far away. I wouldn’t wanna be these guys!

Oh wow, it reminds me of EXIT.

I’m just surprised it’s not $69.99. 

Wait. Was it confirmed that the next-gen WRX/STI will be available in wagon form?

I actually really like the electric sound. It reminds me of Akira or Wipeout. Removing the sound of the explosions also makes the transmission whine more noticeable.

I’m so glad that events evolved the way they did. I really think the market is better with Sony as one of the major players instead of just the hardware manufacturer for Nintendo

The PS5 and PS5 “Pro” will both be available at launch. If anything, 799$ would be for the Pro. 

Actually, Sony said they want a faster adoption rate than ever before, so the price will have to be reasonable. 

I’m a huge fan of the franchise. RE2 and FF7 were the main reasons I bought a PS1. The main reason I never played RE6 is because I could never unsee the logo. I really want to unsee it.

I lived in Japan in the past and am married to a Japanese, and from what I observed during my time there, Japanese people do have a lot of sex (at least compared to my Canadian standards), but it appears to be considered more like a bodily function than a gesture related to romance. Men work, eat, sleep, and have sex.

The Japanese have a lot of sex. Just not unprotected sex with their wife with the goal to reproduce. 

Of course it’s good. It’s the new 11 Foot 8 Bridge.

That’s amazing! I hope you will enjoy it! 

You are very welcome!

If you are interested, Red Bull TV (it’s free, and I’m not talking about Red Bull’s Youtube channel) has excellent coverage of all WRC events. The clips remain available for a little bit after the event has past, but I don’t know for how long.

I’m fascinated by the concept of Alphastar and have watched every single Youtube video I could find from its experiment on the European ladder. It was apparently testing different builds with all races, and I assume IBM is now compiling the results and merging the lessons learned into the main agent.
