Do we know anything more about oodle compression that was being licensed for free for devs by sony? From what i heard it would speed up the ssd io and lower game sizes...youd think it would be a priority to get tech twitter talking about what this could do for games

Oodle is a family of compression tools, which includes support for Kraken among others compression methods, made by RAD Game Tools.
So Sony is probably giving the Kraken version for free. There's also open source versions of it but I don't think they allow commercial use

Yes. There have been a ton of posts about it already on these forums. Nearly the entire developer Twitter thread was posted already as well as links to RAD Games talking about it.

They're in the general thread: https://forum.beyond3d.com/posts/2133948/ https://forum.beyond3d.com/posts/2133958/ https://forum.beyond3d.com/posts/2134405/

I know I most likely won't get a response but I asked Mark Cerny and Hermen Hulst if I could play PS4 games I bought in disk format on the DE PS5. I have been thinking of maybe going the DE PS5 route however most of my favourite PS4 games are all on disk.

Instead of sending them a pic of just your ear, you’d have to send them a pic of the game disc next to your ear.

It's shocking that the Vice President of Sony's most renowned first party game studio would be excited by Sony's next generation console!

I did not see that coming.

I am utterly shocked.

This is new to me, when did they start this studio?

Seems not so new.

Visual Arts used to be the home of all of Sony’s first-party motion capture and face scanning work.

It seems they converted into a game studio.

2018.

When did this dev switch companies? There were claims made earlier today about ND and Insomniac having some sort of an "anti-poaching" verbal agreement.

This was in 2010, Insomniac was not a Sony studio. This is a decade old...

It could've been 100 years ago. If it includes ND people will try to make a big deal out of it.

To be fair, this might be the last generation of consoles that sees a genuinely big leap in performance, assuming reports of Moore's law demise are not greatly exaggerated.

PS5 going full XBONE (Media Sidebar Patent)

Spoiler

I remember this being one of the nicest features of the XB OS, but I believe they removed it later.

Big if true. That can only mean PS5 has a Kinect 2, shape audio and constant connectivity with MS's cloud compute, since those are sine qua non requirements for such rich interface features, acording to Don Mattrick, at least.
