So it now has 47 reviews and it's still at 93.

Will @dynamitecop still predict sub-90 meta?

I have to say, this was a rather "meh" thread.

Everyone predicted a 92-94 meta, and it's probably going to stay at 93.

Anything lower than a 90 or higher than a 94 would have been lulzy, but as the game scored what was predicted, I don't see a lot of butthurt aside from lemmings with still no good exclusives to play.

@dynamitecop: who cares about metacritic lmao? 10/10 on Gamespot is all that matters here. And even if it fell to a 89/88 on metacritic it would still outscore every single Xbox 1 exclusive.

If it falls into the 80's even if it's an 89 it will be considered a flop, you will hear it from everyone everywhere until the end of time.

MGSV was at a 96 with a handful of reviews and fell to a 93, you're the delusional one if you think the metascore will fall to an 89 with this many reviews already. that's not how averages work

There's only about 1/4 of the reviews in, given enough bad reviews it could still fall into the 50's. The point is games rarely climb over time in terms of aggregates, they generally fall. Seeing as it's at a 93, it has a lot of potential to sink, if it were at a 98 I would say a 93 would be a safe bet, but not while it's actually sitting at 93.

That's only if the sample size was small (IE. 5-10 reviews).

Uncharted 4 started at 96 with <10 reviews. Now it's down to 93.

With a 30+ sample size, the range of scores approximates a normal distribution well and the final score won't change much.

They put all the 8.0-8.5 reviews in aside from IGN's 8.8.

All the other reviews are between 9-10.

What do you mean all other reviews? There will probably be about 105+- reviews turned in for this.

All the reviews that have given the game sub-9.0 so far have already been submitted to metacritic.

There won't be many reviews giving this game a sub-9.0, so I doubt the score is going to drop much.

That's not how it works, reviews will be coming in for likely the next 10 days or so.

A sample size of 30 approximates a normal distribution fairly well.

With 31 reviews with a meta of 93, the final score probably won't change much.

Damn, hype exceeded!!! Game of the gen!!!

TLHBO, THHBO, TSHBO

Calm yourself, this could still fall into the 80's on MC, it's tedering on a 93 with only about 1/4 of the prospective reviews handed in.

Final score will be from 92-94. Maybe even 95.

It's at 93 right now, what does everyone think it's going to settle at, I'm saying 89.

No, if it already has 26 reviews, chances are it won't change much even if they add more reviews.

Final score will be 92-94 metacritic.

Cut the trolling and let's have an honest discussion.

SONY makes amazing mature games that make you re-evaluate the way you look at life. They're not some cheap crap that's fun for only 12 hours and then you forget it forever. You think about them years after you played them.

SONY has done it with Uncharted, TLOU, and many other series, yet Nintendo and MS both fail to do the same thing.

Why is it? Is it because SONY cares about gamers? It it because both Nintendo and MS are greedy and try to cut development budgets to maximize profits?

What say you?

Here are the facts.

1. No single core 10tf gpu exists on the market right now, much less with the optimal TDP to fit inside a console. No, not even 14nm Polaris.

2. 5-6x Neo is 20-25tf, not quite 10tf.

3. Suppose such a 10tf console is real, it wont sell at anywhere near $400-$500, it would be upwards of $1200

4. MS won't alienate the established 20m users with a new architecture

5. The raw power of 10tf wont be remotely close to fully utilized since 3rd parties need to make games for Xbone too, you'd only get aa, res and other incremental improvements at best.

6. Use your god damn brain lems before you post

15m user base, not 20m.

Because he's a moron who thinks that he's knowledgeable because he knows how to post links and pictures. If someone implies otherwise, he gets angry. He challenged me to fight.

I debunked your assertion Wii U being 160 stream processor. It's you who started to get personal.

You are completely insane if you think the Xbone 1.5 is at 10 TF. You just discredited yourself by posting this bullcrap.

The Xbone 1.5 will be weaker than the base PS4 model because Microsoft is not as smart as Cerny. Get it through your thick skull.

Microsoft already stated they don't want to do half gen step and if there's any upgrade, they wanted a substantial upgrade. Remember, Microsoft has the larger chip size than PS4's 348 mm^2 and high capability GDDR5 is a known factor at this time. Get it through your thick skull.

Microsoft's testing for different Xbox configurations would be pointless for yet another Xbox One's 1.x TFLOPS level power.

AMD knows the large chips doesn't deliver the same "bang per buck" as smaller chips and a solution must be found for any future consoles and mainstream PC SKUs i.e. watch the AMD's Masterplan Part 2 video. Consoles will NOT have PC's Vega 10, but Vega has a higher pref/watt than Polaris's 2.5X.

Btw, From http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/03/amd-gpu-vega-navi-revealed/

There's another Vega in the form of "Vega 11".

AMD also confirmed that there will be at least two GPUs released under Vega: Vega 10 and Vega 11.

Polaris has it's high-low ASICs. 1st gen FinFET design

Vega has it's high-low ASICs. 2nd gen FinFET design.

If there's a new process tech, there's a new wave of PC GPUs.

AMD usually mixes different PC GCN revisions within a series models e.g. GCN 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 within the same marketing Rx-3x0 model series.

Unlike XBO/PS4's GPU designs, Xbox 360's GPU (SIMD based) wasn't attached to PC's Radeon HD's VLIW5/VLIW4 based designs.

What MS says and what they actually do are 2 different things.

Ex: MS says that they have great exclusives, yet their exclusives are trash.

MS will need to include the eSRAM in their Xbone 1.5 in order to enable backwards compatibility with the Xbone, so their SoC size is irrelevant, since 50+% of it will be consumed by the eSRAM.

MS will be lucky to even match the base PS4. PS4 is an engineering marvel. MS still hasn't fully reversed-engineered it yet, meaning they can't copy 100% of it in time for the Xbone 1.5 launch. It's game over. SONY wins again.
