EA Call - Battlefield 6 is in the works Internal play testing going well, huge game scale, hints lead to rumors around modes with 120 players. StarWars Squadrons isn’t getting anything new just yet but job postings lead people to believe big changes are in the works, Apex launched their season 7 and it’s been a bit of a hit and miss depending on how you play the game. Battlepass has already come under fire as they tweak it within the first week of the season launch. I mean in the end I can’t play enough to unlock the shit anyhow so...it is what it is.
System storage - COD Cold War will be 150GB on PC down from the previously listed 250GB with all modes enabled, console will be 130BG with all modes as well...don’t you worry it’ll balloon to the 250+ as soon as possible. PS5 usable space is 667gigs compared to the SeriesX 802gigs. Current games on your PS4 can stay on an external...but the performance of the system is found on the internal drive. So far there aren’t any “approved” NVME SSD drives but price out a high end NVME drive from a solid name brand and I’d bet that will be on your approved drive list...not from a monetary standpoint but from a quality/reliability one.
AMD - Benchmarks for the new 5000 series CPUs have come out, and their everything we hoped for friends! AMD is beating Intel right now across the board, all price points are accounted for, all performance metrics are accounted for here...this is it friends!
PS5/Series X - Reviews have hit and they’re pretty promising. I want to touch on one thing first, SSDs aren’t anything new...I’ve had an SSD in my PS4 Pro for like two years and I’ve used the old HDD as an external, not to mention all manner of SSDs have been available for PCs for a very long time. That being said don’t let the marketing fool you here it’s not JUST the SSD upgrade that gives the performance jump for these new consoles it’s the software, it’s the TYPE of SSD and it’s the optimization from the development team, all of that combined is the real hero here, not just some piece of hardware.
Polstar 2 - Chinese company Geely bought the Polstar brand from Volvo (used to be their performance arm) 5 passenger fastback, $60K base price but we’re talking about $70K with good options, 200 mile range, AWD, comfortable, 0-60 4.5 seconds. In the end you can go faster and farther for cheaper with the Model 3 Performance...but it has its own build quality issues.
