Digital Foundry says the rumoured leaked specs difference between Xbox Helix and PS6 (~26% CU), which is far less than between Series X and PS5 (44% CU, but PS5 clocks are faster) is unlikely "to get you a whole lot" and it's "basically not that meaningful". Oliver adds "especially if you're looking at an unsubsidised box on one end, subsidised box on the other end, there could be a substantial price price premium you're paying for that performance." "Because the new Xbox Magnus die is also over 400mm squared, even though I think it is a dual die design, that is a considerably large die for a console. Whereas PS6 seems to be a die around PS5 Pro size, as it's a very svelte die that's monolithic, so that should be cheaper to produce just by its nature as well" Considering #PS5 is also launching AFTER #Xbox Helix, and is likely to come with more mature or advanced Project Amethyst features or customisations, and Helix might not have tenrpole Xbox exclusives either, next-gen could be one where the new Xbox hardware is considerably worse value proposition vs PlayStation hardware, more so than all prior gens.

Xbox is having a Developer Direct in January close to when Fallout Season 2 ends. Xbox has had Shadow Drops the past few shows alongside surprise announcements. Would be huge for Millions if the Fallout 3 Remake is there. It would also be a New Fallout for Millions too

Ray Tracing and general performance comparison between #TheWitcher3Remastered and the Next-gen version (4.04). There’s a noticeable improvement in RT effects, especially RTGI, which now looks more accurate and has better coverage. RT Reflections and Shadows have also been extended (they’ve added RT Shadows for local lights). All of these improvements come at a cost, though, as RT is now more demanding than in the previous version. As for performance without RT, the Remastered version is a bit slower overall. What's interesting is at lower presets like Medium, the advantage shifts in favor of the Remastered version.

I think we’ll see the full creative vision of GTA 6 once the PC/PS6/Xbox Helix version comes out. As stunning as Grand Theft Auto VI currently looks, its hard to believe that the game will cut some corners to optimize for the current gen hardware. But looking back at Grand Theft Auto V releasing at the end of a console lifecycle then getting the next-gen version was a night and day difference; it showed how much corners Rockstar Games had to cut in order to optimize this game and run well for PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles. I believe it is the same situation with the current gen consoles, the GPUs may be powerful, especially on the PS5 Pro; there are going to be some CPU limitations with the Zen 2 architecture.

Path Tracing on PS5 Pro even as a demo and at 30fps, pretty much confirms at least some games will use PT on PS6, which I said months ago but some said I was crazy for suggesting. PC gamers won't want to admit it, but next-gen the gap between console and higher end PC may shrink in terms of real world differences, bolstered by more competent RT and AI upscaling tech in the next-gen consoles. Keep in mind Valve already confirmed what Steam data already showed, that "the steam machine is equal or better than ~70% of what people have at home", and the Steam Machine is reportedly similar in perfomance to the BASE PS5. In regards to PT in F1 on PS5 Pro, I say drop the base resolution further (there's examples of PSSR 2 looking great even at 864p) and give us 40fps or higher. Also, this is a reason the future/RDNA4 RT tech and custom AI hardware in PS5 Pro was noteworthy. The "2-3x" PS5's RT performance Cerny quoted clearly wasn't just PR bluster. Outside of this demo, it's already allowing WAY better RT than PS5 in some games (Cyberpunk, F1, AC Shadows etc), with better image quality and/or perfomance to boot. Such demo's show there's potentially more to extract, especially for quality modes. #PS5Pro #PS6
