@naruball Maybe. But there are not nearly as many Switch consoles out there compared to PS4. And a lot of them were bought by parents who want their kids to shut up while they're on the road and stuff
@FullbringIchigo He didn't want it. He wanted them to donate a much more expensive gokart to a children's hospital, essentially forcing them to do so. And all his tweets since have had #breathtaking or something similar. I think it's a bit much.
Well, of course he'd say that. They don't want the game to perform poorly because everyone is waiting for a version that won't be out until 6 months+ later.
I think it won't really matter. Diminish returns and all. Maybe beneath the hood one will be more powerful, but I think the difference will be very hard to tell for consumers
I just wish it took place somewhere else, with nice weather and such. Chicago I could live with because you could venture outside the city limits. But (and this is absolutely only a matter of personal taste) I have a hard time getting excited about the prospect of the British countryside on a typical grey, cloudy day. Well, it might just be that I'm much too pessimistic. It might all work out in the end.
@m42orca Well, I own a Switch, and I love it. And seeing as it's the soon to be second best selling console, I wouldn't call it irrelevant either, right? And Cuphead runs just fiiiiiine on that one. You might not beg for a port, but it sure seems like you're begging for others to join your hate campaign. Looks like it ain't happening, though ðŸ¤
@thedevilsjester Yes you did! "It could be a make-or-break for people, but it might also be positioned in a way that makes sense, for example if all PS5 games were ALSO compatible with the PS4 so that the PS5 was just another (bigger) refresh like the Pro, then the price is less of an issue because people will eventually upgrade" No they won't ! Not if they don't have to. Besides, you're killing a whole gen by gimping it, if all the games have to run on PS4 too. There will be plenty of games the PS4 simply can't run, because of the weak cpu. Maybe you're just not quite as good at this market analyst stuff as you would like. I mean, it does come across as slightly self important, the way you choose to "teach to the masses". It just rubs me the wrong way, but maybe it's just me. I just think your arguments have to be rock solid if you do.
I...Well, I just loved it from the get go. I found the shooting quite realistic. Hit and a whole lot of miss. Hitting a moving target in real life is very difficult. I loved the atmosphere, the visuals, and something I haven't given much thought in other games, the sound design. Perfect low end dynamics, excellent surround. I get some of the criticism, but there's just something about this game that works for me on so many levels. The perfect blend of Mad Max, Red Dead 2 and The Last of Us. It may sound slightly nuts, but this is one of my absolute favourite games now.
@thedevilsjester Wrong. People will upgrade if they have to! If they don't have to, I guarantee that a lot of people will be just fine sticking with the PS4.
Days Gone. I love it, and update 1.08 has made quite a difference! I was looking forward to Rage2, but that game is unbearably ugly. The Apex engine is just is a very poor fit for consoles.
I love Days Gone, I really do! But man, the further I get, the worse the bugs I encounter. Yesterday I had a huge area in the lost lake or whatever it's called, that didn't stream in properly. No foliage, no roads and 2d sprites for trees.
@nessisonett I har a good time with Just Cause 3. But 4 is so bland and ugly I can't even get myself to play it. I haven't been so disappointed in a game since Saints Row IV
Devolver claimed to be the good guys. The guys who want stand up business practices and a generally transparent and honest approach to the industry and their fans. Next up one of devs behind Shadow Warrior 2 praises ps4pro for all its power. Finally it releases with absolutely no ps4pro support, because of time constraints. Meaning Devolver pushed it out the door before it was done. To add insult to injury, some programmer or whatever checked the "ps4pro enhanced" box, so the game can't even make use of boost mode.
I've never truly forgiven them for that betrayal.
I'm picking it up tomorrow. Found it used for £40. I can't wait to see it running on ps4pro. I feel excessively smug whenever I play a Sony exclusive on a Sony machine on a Sony TV... Sound still goes through a Denon receiver though. Lol
Now we just need the cpu, gpu and memory specs. The good stuff. If the leaks are correct, we are looking at an 8 core/16 thread zen2 cpu with a base clock of 1,6ghz and a boost clock of 3,2ghz. And a lightning fast custom Navi10 lite gpu. This machine is going to be amazing!
I've been very excited about this for quite a while. I really thought it looked amazing. Now, with the latest gameplay footage, I've noticed some stuff I'm not too happy about. I thought it looked a bit like mad max, which is a gorgeous game. But this new footage is a bit less convincing. I noticed bland textures, very harsh pop in and such. If this game ends up looking anything like Just Cause 4 instead of Mad Max, I'm out. Guess I'll just have to wait for Digital Foundry to enlighten me. I can deal with 1080p on pro, if they have have a great looking game on their hands, with some real impressive post processing. But if it's another 720p looking show like jc4...well... count me out
Everything is winding down in preparation of the next gen. It's the early phase of the calm before the storm. Nobody's too keen on revealing anything that's ment to be played on machines that haven't even been revealed yet.
I was about to state how ugly it is...but...I kinda like it. Like hippie toothpaste and a fancy hospital in Austria. No...german cop car! Really! Try and google "polizeiauto 1990". Oddly pleasing, that one
@get2sammyb Assassins Creed Origins has had HDR since release. Clearly visible when capturing gameplay. Ubisoft are masters of tone mapping, so it can be hard to tell. But the oversatureated reds in gameplay capture is a clear indication in most cases. This is clearly visible in most games with solid HDR implementation. Origins and Horizon are good examples of this. Also the PS4 will state that colours might look wrong whenever you save a gameplay video
