You can watch us record the podcast live on twitch.tv/castlesuperbeast

0:00 THEME OF SLAYER; KOREAN

0:32 good afternoon, castle super echo cast~! The uncomfortable feeling of hearing your own voice played back at a delay and the military application of it

 - 3:00 pat’s pro tip on ignoring your girlfriend strats: just peak your headphones back and pretend you didnt entirely make out what she said

 - 3:54 noise canceling

 - 4:19 need a fan? Sony latest product, the PS5, may be for you! Check out that popped collar look

 - 5:44 but audio tho. And RTX voice. Truly a miraculous application if you are alone. Completely falls apart in a group setting.

 - - 7:48 woolie wants to see the next step of this product, train it to tkae the voice of an actor out completely

 - 9:12 Back to the PS5, woolie’s thoughts: Makes the controller design makes sense. Only looks good standing up.

 - - 10:20 the disk version looks deformed to pat

 - - 12:23 it is huge, the tallest console of all, feels like a response to Microsoft’s new Xbox. Even bigger than the original Xbox

 - - 16:07 the original xbox 360 and the PS3 looked bad, says pat. SIZE = P O W E R

 - - 17:19 the size might be for fans. And how loud they will probably be. The sound of various consoles

 - - 20:19 digital only PS5

 - - 21:43 pat is going to grab it day 1, and the controller design

 - - 22:43 no price in sight, and no release date. The timing of the release of the console with the global pandemic affecting the price. The price of other consoles

 - - 26:40 Pat’s prediction on the price: 549 and 499, and woolie’s prediction of 499 and 599

 - - - 28:36 Pat does some math on conversion to canadian

 - - - - 30:03 the possibility of the diskless version being more expensive

 - - 31:33 will microsoft change their approach? Targeting 30 FPS and 8k tvs

 - - - 32:58 still no 60, huh? Woolie wants a generation of no graphical improvements, just 60FPS gameplay

 - - - 34:37 you cant easily market 60fps in ad media

 - - - 36:03 woolie’s QA experience on step-ups of advances in hardware compared to framerate

 - - - 38:27 pat on if they issued a 30FPS mandate and QA attempting to get it under 30, the cinder vs. cinder mirror match in KI

 - - - - 40:54 other game benchmarks like DMC4SE and total warhammer

 - - - - 42:29 recording through an elgato, a knock on the door leads back to the 60 fps discussion, on what can you cut to hit those benchmarks

 - - - - 45:17 back to the elgato, color changes on recording

 - - - - 48:25 PS5 with the idea of ‘just run OBS’

 - - 49:13 any other improvements to be made? Thank you USB-C

 - - - 52:26 pats new phone and charging things with outdated USB types

 - - - 55:19 there is a good capture card out there! And the word GAMER

 - - - 56:41 a video of a streamer girl talking about the end of the world cutting to 360 no scope footage. THE ANIMALS ARE LEAVING ← PODCAST TITLE HERE
