I like the idea of having the option to use the cards. You don't need to use but if you want to use it, they are there. Same with the adaptive triggers and haptics.
Excellent Analogy by the guy that keeps IGN down to earth. I love his old school attitude and genuine love for video games. I hope he never leaves. They should make him a full partner and give him a fat raise.
I love the way Astro time challenges give your friends notifications when you beat them. And how you can in seconds be in the same challenge trying to take back your spot on the leaderboard
Asa is incorrect about the dev kits. Playstation was able to get dev kits out to developers sooner than Microsoft. Allowing for more research and development by teams on the PS5.
I think Max should give the activity cards a shot in Demon's Souls. He said he would use them as bookmarks to go between Archstones, and fun fact, that's exactly what they do! It seems like a lot of the slight negativity towards them comes from not actually trying them. Just like the Game Help, they seem really unnecessary at first glance, but are really handy once you give them a shot.
I really like Max's custom activity cards idea. I would love to bookmark my favourite parts of a game, so that I can replay my favourite parts of a game again in the future. Or show a friend the best parts of a game if I am trying to persuade them to pick a game up. I didn't find the activity cards much use in Bugsnax. I only checked my progress on the "Catch Them All" achievement a couple of times.
They never even bothered to read the cards, and there are the reviewers we get. Can you believe this shit? Complaint about demon souls cards and it's only fast travel. These guys are fakes
That memory card is 100% how I got my ps5. I feel asleep after the reveal of pricing. Got up and seen people talking about retailers doing early preorders. I got on the BB site and got a ps5 after 30 mins of refreshing each page through the sales process, having to put the ps5 in my cart a few times(as it said it was out), and even had orde fail once. Had to do it again. I didn’t believe it until November 12th. I kept waiting for the order to be canceled. I don’t feel bad for CDPR. Other devs have done it with less time.
from a technical standpoint and time now that we've had with RDNA2 it responds very well to high frequency clocks. The 400mhz difference from the XSX to the PS5 APU/GPU could potentially be a culprit in the performance differences, even though technically... XSX has more compute units, its still clocked lower, and with high resolution and how we now understand RDNA2 i do believe that higher clock paid off for Sony.
The cards thing I have not really used. The idea of like making custom cards sounds cool. Like if you could just book mark ever boss in a game and you want to fight a boss again just jump right there instead of like having to replay a game to get to a boss.
Max’s strict itinerary vacation analogy hit the nail on the head for me. Personally, that isn’t how I like my vacations or my video games. The video game cards are for, I think, a very small subset of gamers for different games
Absolutely i will appreciate the activity cards. I dont boot up a story game over a multiplayer pvp quicker game unless i have guaranteed over 2 hours of free time.
I’m glad single player is doing good for Sony, but Sony themselves need to give me a reason to have PlayStation plus. They need a true multiplayers game for sure
Actually kemosabe xbox gpu in the devkits were waiting for amd rdna 2 tech to be added on that why things ran a bit smoother for ps5 games that's why you saw devkits for ps5 in the wild before xbox.
PS5 dev kits were sent out way before Xbox final dev kits went out. We saw ps5 dev kit leaks a LONG time ago. This dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about with regards to game development.
Remember that LG oled panels are physically incapable of doing 120 fps without sacrificing lots of picture quality. All oled panels are built by LG so all oled tvs will have the same problem with hdmi 2.1 at 120 fps with VRR on. Good to know before you waste cash on an Oled such as the LG CX or a Sony A8H. Cheers!
Valhalla plays really great on the series X, specially since the 1.0.4 patch.....Cold War is crazy good and stable in 120hz mode, but split screen coop just doesn't work :( Crashes every single time
Can we agree that ubisoft do not make great games, as people continue to buy their bloated content we are doomed to be presented with poor ips. Ubisoft can make great looking games but come on the games are just drivel with mundane task after mundane task!
Well as not a fanboy, you'd be surprised how much Sony has started taking notes on some of Phil's attitudes towards gaming. Honestly if it weren't for Game Pass, you would be getting told to pay for PS Now if you want to play PS4 games on your PS5.
@@angrytacos5497 a new banjo, conker, crimson skies etc would set the internet on fire and there is nothing. He was the head of the single worst generation for a console ever and when they finally get to restart with the new gen what do they have to show? Nothing, blows my mind that people are spending 500 on that thing and there arent even any exclusives in the launch window, let alone launch day
@@akragt01 100 percent, rare is dead so don't hold out hope for banjo or conker, he just has trouble managing studios, for 6 years xbox having no games has been a meme to the point where he's acknowledged it many times, you'd think with that in his mind he would have had some exclusive launch title ready, but nope nothing
Don't forget everyone that the NEXT GEN VERSIONS of Cyberpunk aren't until next year. As a rule, Series X IS better at running Xbone games than PS5 is at running PS4 titles, so the game people will be playing next week will PROBABLY be "best" on Series X BECAUSE IT'S AN XBOX ONE GAME. However, we have to wait till next year to compare the NATIVE PS5 vs. Series X version, and THAT'S where it CURRENTLY seems PlayStation wins.
Jesus fucking Christ! Beyond continues to be so bloody awful when it comes diversity. You have a Native American on the week after Thanksgiving and Jonathan apologizes because it's December now and you didn't have him on in "The Month". You are pretty much telling Asa he is only on the show because he is Native American. That's not cool. That's not diversity. That is tokenism. Diversity good, tokenism bad. Also, what is "The Month"? Do you mean Native American Heritage Month? Is Asa or any other Native American only allowed on the show in November?
And Beyond!

I like this side by side layout. Looks great on an ultra wide phone screen
26:48 This is false Asa. It was already reported last week that Microsoft was sending out developer kits late and much LATER than PS5.

I think they should have a toggle called Trophy hunter mode and only when you enable this do the cards appear.In this way it makes sense
It is a nice pace from having a subscription that you need to use 24/7 to get the value.

So great that they go straight from Just Cause which has stupid cheats and big head mode, to talking about how games don't have that anymore

Hey Jonathon, have you considered Remnant for Tom's middle name?
If you’re wondering about Tom’s middle name, you should watch NVC from the week of Thanksgiving

How can he not know what iron ore does in valhalla lol. Its for upgrading gear

Its simple. Sony got their software ready while MS has not yet.
Can we talk about why a Xbox has more backwards compatibility (through developer mode) for Playstation games than a PS5?

There is no next gen and current gen. there's current gen(ps5) and old gen (PS4). Next gen is ps6.
Is this an xbox podcast now? Smh
They try so hard not to do console war stuff, they overcompensate. Kinda cringy to watch, especially on a PlayStation podcast lol
