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
