Xbox Recommits to E3 2020 As PlayStation Drops Out from GameRant.com.

by Daniel Richardson – on Jan 14, 2020 in Gaming News



E3 is an event that has been used to announce features of upcoming consoles, exclusives, and technology. When Sony announced that it was not attending the event last year, it shocked many in the gaming community who had become used to the companies presence. One year later and Sony have announced that it will once again be absent. On the other hand, Xbox has doubled down on E3 and the presentation looks to be an exciting one. The Xbox consoles have always been powerful machines and many are excited to see how the console leverages its technical aspects to give an exciting gaming experience. While Sony is committing to individual events, Xbox could generate an incredible amount of positive press at one of the biggest events in the gaming calendar The statement released by Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, claims that 2020 will be a "milestone" year for the company and it is hard at work preparing the presentation "for those who love to play". While the Xbox One suffered from a marketing campaign that was focused on a media machine rather than a gaming console, it seems that the Xbox Series X will once again focus on games. Microsoft will undoubtedly put on an impressive show and in response, Sony will likely be creating an event of its own to publicize the PS5.

Xbox Series X Could Win E3 2020 from Den of Geeks.


With the PlayStation 5 out of the picture, the Xbox Series X could be the star of E3 2020.

PlayStation's decision to skip E3 this year is a critical one. With a next-gen console launch looming, the company has decided that it'd rather unveil the PlayStation 5 outside of the Los Angeles Convention Center, skipping the potential console war at the trade show altogether. PlayStation hasn't outlined how it plans to lift the curtain on the PS5 before its Holiday 2020 launch, but some sort of consumer event is likely, whether it be a special version of the popular Sony-centric PSX convention or something else. Or perhaps the company will decide it doesn't need to show the console in the flesh at all, choosing instead to control the messaging by unveiling the PS5 in a State of Play broadcast, taking a page out of Microsoft's notebook. The big three -- Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo -- have increasingly adopted the direct messaging offered by pre-recorded broadcasts, speaking straight to the consumer without the third party. The reality is that the sort of influence afforded by a centralized trade show like E3 may no longer be the PR gold mine it once was. Yet, while Nintendo will likely continue to skip the E3 stage in favor of a Direct video and PlayStation isn't even bothering to show up to the con at all, there is still one hold out this year. Unsurprisingly, Xbox has everything to gain from PlayStation's E3 absence. With its main competitor in the next-gen race out of the picture, Xbox could dominate E3 like never before. But does winning E3 even matter in 2020? While the trade show may be falling out of grace with hardware developers and game publishers, not to mention the members of the press the Electronic Software Association (E3's organizing body) accidentally doxed last year, E3 still means something to consumers. To fans, E3 is still an exciting week of big announcements, surprise reveals, and world premiere gameplay footage, and the ESA recently opening the convention hall doors to the public reflects this. Interest from the pros may be trending down, but the consumers are still showing up online and in person to demo the latest titles. And for those looking to sample what the next generation of consoles has to offer before spending their hard-earned cash, the Xbox Series X will be the only game in town, so to speak.

Leaked PlayStation 5 Design Image Looks Surprisingly Legit from GameRant.com & YouTube.com.


     by Cameron Corliss – on Jan 18, 2020 in Gaming News



So far, it's felt like Sony has been dragging its feet when it comes to the PlayStation 5 reveal. The company has shown off very little of the console despite a heap of supposed leaks and rumors about the system itself. A PlayStation reveal event is rumored for next month, but there's still little to go by. That is unless a very convincing image turns out to be real. An image of a bizarre-looking console bearing the PlayStation logo has been circulating lately, leading many to believe that it may be the final design of the PlayStation 5. The console has a faint resemblance of a cross between the Xbox 360 Slim and a launch edition PlayStation 4, which is an interesting mash-up. If the image is real, it's a bold look for the next-gen console, which may turn some off the system. Of course, there's no official confirmation that that's the case, so it's best to take the image with a major grain of salt. There have been hints that the PS5 event is coming soon, so there shouldn't be that much longer to wait before fans see the console.

PS5 Controller Feature Could Make Games a Lot More Fun Says Dev from GameRant.com


     by Kean Sullivan – on Jan 21, 2020 in Gaming News



As the reveal of the PlayStation 5 or PS5 draws closer and closer, new information and details regarding the console have begun to surface. One of which is a new feature that is being added to the design of the PS5 Dualshock controller. The PlayStation 5, or the PS5, is a gaming console by Sony that has been in development for several years now. Within the last year, the gaming community has received quite a bit of information regarding the new system, such the PS5 logo, which some fans have taken and done their own spin on. However, as the PS5's reveal date draws closer and closer, many pieces of new information have been either leaked or publicly released regarding new PS5 exclusive games and the system itself. An overlooked design detail concerning the PS5 controller has both fans and developers rather intrigued. The new controller will feature a hardware mechanic called haptic feedback. What is haptic feedback? Essentially, instead of a standard rumble feature that is common with most game controllers, the PS5 controller will respond differently depending on specific events that are happening in-game. This caught the attention of game developer Ivan Moen who commented that "...haptics add a lot to an experience. But, I also think it’s subjective to different players, and it also depends on how the game utilizes it. But overall I think the potential for adding to an experience is very high .

Xbox Series X SSD Cartridges Look a Lot Like Memory Cards: from GameRant.com

Microsoft reveals its proprietary NVMe SSD expansion storage cards for the Xbox Series X, which look a whole lot like memory cards.

by Rory Young Mar 16, 2020



Monday morning Microsoft revealed a ton of new details about the Xbox Series X. The information drop focused on hardware analysis and specific new technologies. One of the new announcements focused on expanding on the Xbox Series X's drive space. The Xbox Series X features an impressive 1TB SSD, but even that might fill up quickly with next-gen games. Microsoft plans to offer options for expansion in the form of proprietary SSD cartridges. If that sounds a lot like a memory card, it's because it kind of is. The Xbox Series X proprietary NVMe SSD cartridges are exactly that. They're small cards that can be plugged into the back of the console to add more space. They look a lot like memory cards from the PlayStation 2-era of consoles, though a little sleeker. And, sadly, they're the only way to add extra space from which Xbox Series X owners can run games. Unlike with recent consoles, players can't buy any old hard drive or SSD online and plug it in. Microsoft does seem to have a good reason for using proprietary cards with the Xbox Series X, though. The Xbox Series X is a very powerful console. So powerful that it's going to dwarf a lot of gaming PCs, even. This means that a lot of PC SSDs are, sadly, going to have worse performance than the Xbox Series X is equipped with. In order to maintain that caliber of performance, Microsoft has to require a minimum standard for SSD expansion. The simplest way to do that is to offer proprietary SSDs.



Plugging in one of the Xbox Series X's proprietary SSD cartridges would maintain the speeds of the internal drive with no disruption. Given that the Xbox Series X's SSD is a core feature of the console, guaranteeing fast loading times.
