I don't agree.


I've seen AI created characters created which are virtually real, which look, are animated and behave like they're real.

I'm with you.

a) I don;t see a strategic reason why a technology company would say "Wll boys, we've topped out here, no more innovation"

b) Like you said it's not true. I've watched "documentaries" with AI chars and not realised until the credit that they were AI and not the actual people.

Sony has struggled this gen to make AAA games - absolutely failed in fact. So I see this as a cover statement of them conceding defeat, not against competitors, but against capacity.  By Now PS5 should have 12 - 15 AAA Sony produced games. How many do they have? Class? Class?

That's a serious question.

I tried the Persona 3 demo and...ugh


I assumed I'd like Persona but my experience was like Vaders.


Fixed archaic camera angles, endless visual novel like segments, invisible walls. Bog standard anime story.


Glad I didn't get Persona 5 now.

It's a tiresome franchise.

"With the superheroic power of the PS5, though, that may not be the worst thing ever. Yoshida explains: "I think PS5 is amazing system in terms of quality of experience. I think the adoption of SSD was like an almost miracle."

A miracle? SSD a miracle. Really? Here's another miracle, running water. In muy house I can just turn a lever and water comes out. Incredible!

Personally I wouldn't mind if new consoles didn't focus on ever higher resolutions and fps.  Just look at the improvement that near instant loading brought. It doesn't imorove graphics, v'but it sure improves asset streaming allowing for better games.


There's plenty of stuff to focus on. I can see new consoles having dedicated AI cores like we have the rt cores now that can improve a bunch of stuff. Use AI to improve realistic cloth movement or more varied and naturalistic animations. It could be another pass like resolution upscaling that could really transform graphics.

I hope they fovus on this as well.

Running water IS a miracle, we just take it for granted.

I forget who said it, but we really do live better than kings did in the 19th century.

Congrats. I don't begrudge the Jay's but I was rooting for Seattle as they've not been to the WS. Both good teams and a good ALCS.



HAving attended a good many Dodger games I am backing them of course, but hope for a competitive series.

I used to love MLB but just can't bother to watch these days. However, I did enjoy a Yankees/Astros game a couple of years ago, so maybe if I attend a live event.
