Episode 09

<p><strong>RX6000 series - </strong>They’re here, multiple Tubers have their copies and reviews will be hitting shortly. They look good, they’re stout, we’re ready for reviews!</p> <p><strong>Smoking Xbox - </strong>Fake, X vs S - Image quality is really the only gameplay difference. Storage is your other factor $219 for the storage card. Your biggest selling point right now for both consoles is the updated library on GamesPass, you’re getting a giant backlog of games with many enhanced for “next gen” consoles.</p> <p><strong>External Storage - </strong>PS5 can not install, store or play any PS5 games on anything but the internal drive, update to come to allow storage swap, and the second M.2 slot isn’t usable right now either (not activated) . Xbox allows you to at least move things back and forth for storage needs. I can not 100% confirm or deny if you get the enhancements for the PS4 games on an external drive however, I see no reason why you wouldn’t be able to, and there are some current videos “confirming” this out on the internets now. You can literally plug and play your external HDD from your PS4 into your PS5 and play the PS4 games no problem as long as you’re using the same account on both consoles. Be sure to head to your settings in your PS5 and select the option to have “all ps4 games install to external drive”</p> <p><strong>EA Dynamic Difficulty - </strong>EA uses this system in FiFa 2020 to push their difficulty level in real time causing players to gravitate towards the player packs for more skilled or advanced players</p> <p><strong>Apple ARM - </strong>Benchmarks leaked multithreaded performance is quite good but everything is taken with a grain of salt at this point. Apple is incredibly strict with information leaking with new products like this, so this could be complete BS.</p> <p><strong>SpaceX Launch - </strong>It happened, without a hitch, was amazing to watch, booster touched down as it does which in itself is an amazing thing. We’re at a point where boosters are launching teams into space then returning on their own to be used again and again for similar missions.</p> <p>From CNN - SpaceX developed the Crew Dragon capsule under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, which, for the first time in the space agency's history, handed over much of the design, development and testing of new human-rated spacecraft to the private sector. NASA awarded SpaceX and Boeing fixed-price contracts worth $2.6 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively, to get the job done. Development of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is still delayed because of major software issues detected during a test mission last year, but officials say that vehicle could be in operation next year.</p> <p>Because these vehicles will technically be owned by SpaceX and Boeing, with NASA serving as a customer that buys missions for astronauts, the companies will also be able to use their vehicles to fly tourists, private researchers or anyone else who can afford a $50 million-plus ticket.</p> <p>That decision wasn't without controversy, particularly in the Commercial Crew Program's early days. But Crew Dragon's success could be seen as a huge win for folks at NASA who hope to rely more extensively on that contracting style to help accomplish the space agency's goals.</p>

Episode 08

<p><strong>EA Call - </strong>Battlefield 6 is in the works Internal play testing going well, huge game scale, hints lead to rumors around modes with 120 players. StarWars Squadrons isn’t getting anything new just yet but job postings lead people to believe big changes are in the works, Apex launched their season 7 and it’s been a bit of a hit and miss depending on how you play the game. Battlepass has already come under fire as they tweak it within the first week of the season launch. I mean in the end I can’t play enough to unlock the shit anyhow so...it is what it is.</p> <p><strong>System storage - </strong>COD Cold War will be 150GB on PC down from the previously listed 250GB with all modes enabled, console will be 130BG with all modes as well...don’t you worry it’ll balloon to the 250+ as soon as possible. PS5 usable space is 667gigs compared to the SeriesX 802gigs. Current games on your PS4 can stay on an external...but the performance of the system is found on the internal drive. So far there aren’t any “approved” NVME SSD drives but price out a high end NVME drive from a solid name brand and I’d bet that will be on your approved drive list...not from a monetary standpoint but from a quality/reliability one.</p> <p><strong>AMD - </strong>Benchmarks for the new 5000 series CPUs have come out, and their everything we hoped for friends! AMD is beating Intel right now across the board, all price points are accounted for, all performance metrics are accounted for here...this is it friends!</p> <p><strong>PS5/Series X - </strong>Reviews have hit and they’re pretty promising. I want to touch on one thing first, SSDs aren’t anything new...I’ve had an SSD in my PS4 Pro for like two years and I’ve used the old HDD as an external, not to mention all manner of SSDs have been available for PCs for a very long time. That being said &nbsp;don’t let the marketing fool you here it’s not JUST the SSD upgrade that gives the performance jump for these new consoles it’s the software, it’s the TYPE of SSD and it’s the optimization from the development team, all of that combined is the real hero here, not just some piece of hardware.</p> <ul> <li>PS5 - Controller is the real game changer (seriously look this up, it’s insane), the console is BIG...no matter how you slice it’s larger than anything else out there. UI system has had some changes but it’s noticeably better in every way, snappier, searches faster, smoother. The new HDD system is noticeably better, load times have reduced significantly. Sony has confirmed you’re not going to get your hands on a system day one in stores. 44 decibels under heavy load, which is a stark comparison to the PS4...I know mine sounds like a drone taking off.<br> </li> <li>Series X - Quick resume is legit (5-10 seconds), that “pick up and play” feeling is here to stay. It looks the part, feels the part, from the moment you open the box. You can even get logged into your account and setup basic settings while the system downloads firmware and such. It runs cooler and quieter than the OneX at 44 decibels under load, same as the PS5, has snappier feeling UI but it’s nothing “new. It’s the “more powerful” console at launch with 20% more power than the PS5 on paper. Once again for the Xbox team...games are the issue, there isn’t a single game you NEED a SeriesX to play. As time goes on this will change, even more so with Microsoft snatching up studios left and right.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Polstar 2 - </strong>Chinese company Geely bought the Polstar brand from Volvo (used to be their performance arm) 5 passenger fastback, $60K base price but we’re talking about $70K with good options, 200 mile range, AWD, comfortable, 0-60 4.5 seconds. In the end you can go faster and farther for cheaper with the Model 3 Performance...but it has its own build quality issues.</p>

Episode 07

<p><strong>India Shut down PUBG Mobile - </strong>Security concerns related to China, 10 cent holds publishing rights. First deaths in border disputes, 33Million registered players.</p> <p><strong>TearDown - </strong>Voxel physics based game jumped to the Steam best sellers list. Open raty tracing and just a ton of fun!</p> <p><strong>Anthem - </strong>Bioware is still working on Anthem, there is hope!</p> <p><strong>EA Faces fine - </strong>$583K every week in the Netherlands for game packs (loot boxes) in FiFa ultimate team</p> <p><strong>Apex legends - </strong>We’re getting a new character (Horizon), a new map (olympus), and a new vehicle!?!? Club system, skins, and plenty of other things</p> <p><strong>Playstation Plus Collection - </strong>20 games at launch for PS+ members, no additional cost, some first party games and some third party as well. MKBHD - PS5 controller might be the next best thing in next generation gaming. It’s built differently, it’s beefy, “feels” better. New haptics really do feel more accurate - impact in the game feels different, the new triggers really do make a difference - resistance with different materials (Dave2D) motors use a worm gear design and I can vouch for the durability on that.</p> <p><strong>AMD GPU Event - </strong>AMD RX6000 series +50% in performance per watt with RDNA2, 26.8 BILLION transistors. Direct storage API, AMD SMart Access Memory, full access to GPU memory/cpu memory. Full support DX12U</p> <p>6900XT - $999 vs RTX 3090 $1500</p> <p>6800XT - $699 vs RTX 3080 $700</p> <p>6800 - $579 vs RTX 3070 $500</p>
