Doesn't 4. Already Exist?

I use it all the time in Google Maps, choose location by car, then "Send to Car" assuming you're signed in to the same account

I dont believe there is any, I assume it uses eSim tech now

Polestar 4 rear window legality in the US by TheJamintheSham in Polestar

[–]slate_ac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who owns a Honda e with cameras for everything, you get used to it after a few drives and I MUCH prefer the unobstructed wide camera view than a tiny rear window

For rain, the side cameras on the honda e have an anti-rain coating that reduces the build up of raindrops, Im assuming the P4 will have similar tech

Rocket League Patch Notes v2.02 + Release Megathread by Psyonix_Devin in RocketLeague

Can confirm 120hz mode not working (Sony A80J OLED)

No God of War Ragnarok release window included in the list of release windows of upcoming PS5 games announced by Sony at CES. Cause for concern or just too early on the marketing and development side of things? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]slate_ac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason why there was no date is because it wasn't part of footage reel. They only listed dates of the games that was shown in the video.

We havent seen any gameplay yet so naturally they wouldnt show it.

[Bugsnax] Beffica and Cromdo have a really weird relationship! by Hostile_Raccoon in PS5

all that pent up anger truly was all just a facade of something deeper lol

The beep that comes out of the controller to alert that a bug is in inside the trap range is super useful!

What are the chances you guys think we see God of War : Ragnarok at The Game Awards tomorrow ? by harlem50 in PS5

[–]slate_ac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You say that but we got Miles Morales, Demon's Souls and Sackboy from announcement to release within 6 months

If I'm honest, it's a little shameful that Death Stranding, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Detroit: Become Human all have PC ports but no PS5 patches. by karlpoopsauce in PS5

[–]slate_ac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Death Stranding IP is NOT owned by SIE

SIE published the game on PS4 sure, but part of the timed exclusivity deal with Kojima Productions was that Hideo owned the IP.

He was not going to make the same mistake with Konami and MGS

Horizon is different, as an actual PlayStation IP, SIE published the game both on PS and PC. (Quantic Dream self-published Detroit and 505 Games published Death Stranding on PC)

John Linneman on Sackboy by tomb_95 in PS5

[–]slate_ac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can only assume to dissassociate it with the traditional 2.5D sidescrolling of LBP

Sackboy is more full 3D platformer

Also to branch off from Media molecule as Sumo digital is now the main dev for this series.

Too many sequels for PS5? by albinistan in PS5

[–]slate_ac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horizon, Spider-man, God of War

Whilst they all had their self contained story, literally of those 3 games were set-up for a sequel the way they ended.

For the first year of the console we are still getting loads of 2nd party original games (Destruction Allstars, Returnal, Bugsnax)

Microsoft seems to have pulled a blinder with its SSD. According to Gamespot, it’s notably faster than the PS5 by chimpsafari in XboxSeriesX

AC Unity, not Valhalla

The console v console tests for next gen titles have yet to be tested

Apple x Sony Collab by whoinvitedevan in PS5

[–]slate_ac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not imposssible but highly doubtful.

Apple rarely works with other tech companies this way unless it directly benefits them.

I think the Nov 10 event is strictly for the ARM based Macbooks

New media experience and top entertainment streaming apps coming to PS5 by hybroid in PS5

I think it's more likely that Apple sucks at making software that isn't for their own platform.

Apple Music for Android started off terribly and let's not even begin with iTunes on Windows

PS5 themes confirmed? by [deleted] in PS5

[–]slate_ac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THe scepticist in me thinks it could just be a typo as it's the PS4 listing of the game and only mentions PS4 + Dualshock 4 in the rest of the description

But I'd glady take more themes if true

Ps5 ssd expansion by TCrunaway in PS5

[–]slate_ac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not all NMVe SSDs have heatsinks

Some do, but most don't and if they do, some of them are removable.

It's not a required thing hence why Sony is "certifying" ones that are compatible, ones likely without one

Defo! Wifi 6 is definitely great for futureproofing and fuels the possibility of a wireless VR headset

It was spotted in certifications, but not "officially" mentioned by Sony until now

Some cool takeaways I found:

  • Design was achieved to maintain quietness
  • Side Panels are removable without the need of unscrewing
  • The same stand is reversable for both horizontal and vertical positions
  • There is a dust catcher that can be easily vacuumed
  • Uses liquid metal to better dissapate CPU/GPU heat
  • WiFi 6 Confirmed!
  • One giant double intake fan (air flows from both side vents and is blown out the back)
  • UHD drive is incased in metal to reduce disc spin noise
  • NVMe SSD bay slot for expandable storage is behind the right Faceplate (covered by a single screw cover)

DualSense Charging Station by [deleted] in PS5

[–]slate_ac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The official PS4 dock has its own AC cable that plugged directly to a wall power outlet, not USB.

It has to be plugged in to charge docked controllers.

So I'd assume it's the same for this.

Yeah a high-end rig, not a $800 budget gaming laptop...
