Re: PS5 Could Launch As Early As Next Year, Reckons Analyst

Chris0160

I hope it will not come out before 2020/2021. In my opinion, the only reason why the Pro was sent out was to match Microsoft, THE PUSH FOR 4K sales, and the fact that they needed a bump in hardware. That or developers needed new hardware. I'm fine with waiting until then, I'm still on the fence to get a Pro, mainly bc my ps4 is starting to act up. Even name dropping, will upset some, and the sales will drop.

Re: Poll: Has Your PS4 Started to Run a Little Slower Lately?

I've had gaming issues on the launch PS4. Not so much after deleting a few games, and changing the dynamic theme. Had major framerate issues while playing madden and mount&blade. I installed a 2TB a while ago, I still had plenty of space left prior to deleting the games.

@SPGFan34
Hi, I know the question wasn't directed to me, but watch some of the playthroughs on YouTube to get a good understanding of the game. That's the best advice I can give you, the tone is completely different, it all depends on your own wants and needs in a game. This game is like, a hacktivist GTA. In a sense, a modern day Robinhood, indirectly. (Routing money through bank accounts)

@Constable_What
Thanks for the info.
TLDR: I hate the driving, this game is a breath of fresh air
As far as the actual Aiden, I didn't care for him, didn't like him. The whole reason I played the game was for the Hacking that turned out to be the 2nd most boring piece of the game. One quick push and your causing mayhem. Fun at first, but it got boring, and the whole revenge for your niece idea.
WD2 so far has been a breath of fresh air. I'm a bit annoyed about the driving, its really frustrating to parallel park in this game. The main issue i have is, why is it every time I leave start a mission inside the hackspace, the car I was driving 90% of the time disappears. A few things like the lack of an actual pause menu, and no manual save button is another thing. Other than that, I like the AI, its a bit challenging trying to go through without killing, I want to retry and become a ghost the second time.
There's so much to see, listen to, snoop on. The skill tree is a nice addition, I do wish he had a few more abilities. I don't care about the multiplayer in this, since it's nowhere near the reason why I bought the game. I would honestly find it frustrating to have someone intrude in my game. That's my take, the most challenging mission so far was the one involving the tower.

Re: Feature: Should You Buy the PS4 Pro?

Chris0160

@BAMozzy It is the most expensive with price ranging from $1099 to $24000. KS and JS both give me a heart attack looking at those prices. Most of them were sitting around 5000. Unless it comes with OLED, 3D, 8K, and a 4 yr guarantee. I will wait for those to come down in price.
Now onto the important part, yes the KS, and the 2015 JS series look amazing, not just the display but the design as well. For now, the KU series will be fine for me, it's main use will be streaming, or cable. The Pro will only be taking advantage of the Tv about one week a month, due to my job (truck driver). The rest of the month the Pro will be played on a 24" 1080p. I will wait for, if it ever happens, a decent priced 4k OLED TV.

Re: Feature: Should You Buy the PS4 Pro?

Chris0160

@BAMozzy it fits my budget for now since I still have to get the Pro. I have a GF that hated the idea of me spending more than 900 for gaming. So for now I'll take this. http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ku6300
Yes you'll look and say that's not the 6290, Ratings add a few other sites say there are no noticeable differences between 6290 and 6300 series. Next year maybe, I can convince her to let me get a better 4k Tv. Oh and yes they did mention that it supports HDR content, but that it lacks the wide range color gamut.... something like that.
https://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/samsung-led-tv/samsung-ku6290.html
Here is another review that specifically states the only difference is the lack of a smart remote. Some users reported receiving a smart remote. On AVS forum post it is said the 6300 has bluetooth while 6290 does not.

Re: Hello Games Tweets: 'No Man's Sky Was a Mistake'

Chris0160

@Rob_230 Smug? No, it doesn't come out as smug. They had a few death threats which is way over the top. It became so bad at one point the subreddit for the game was temporarily shutdown, due to all the hate the gamers had for them. There is also another subreddit dedicated trying to get the portals working. It's still an ok game but, not much to do.

Re: Hello Games Tweets: 'No Man's Sky Was a Mistake'

Chris0160

@Rob_230 Thing is, I bought into the hype, I preordered the game. Yes I know, Shame on me for not waiting. I liked it initially, but it wasn't the game we all were promised or waiting for. Look at the interviews less than few months from release vs the actual game. They lied and cheated all of their fan base and have since gone dark. There is a BIG F U to the gamers when you reach the center of the universe.

Re: Feature: Has Fallout 4's Season Pass Been Worth It?

Chris0160

If they kept it at the original price, its been a horrible DLC season otherwise. NukaWorld 7/10, Far Harbor 6/10, and I guess Automatron 4/10. The workshops, could/ should have been added as a mod/ free download. Building a vault is ok, should have been able to create a bigger vault is my only complaint (Ps4).

@BAMozzy
Here is my research
http://venturebeat.com/2016/09/08/ps4-pro-isnt-4k-that-doesnt-matter/
So instead of trying to quadruple the resolution, Sony is going to double or maybe triple it, and then it’s going to let algorithms and the shortcomings of 20/20 vision do the rest. And I hope that Microsoft, Nintendo, and even Nvidia and AMD are paying attention as they look for ways to give gamers better visual fidelity in the future.
Here is another article that goes on to talk about the Pro and Scorpio
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-what-the-hell-is-a-teraflop-anyway
Also it explains why they have chosen to keep the same cpu
Sony has attempted to address this problem with Neo. It seems that AMD's next-gen 'Zen' CPU technology is not available for integration along with the GPU into a single processor yet, so the platform holder has done the next best thing - it is running the same eight-core cluster at a higher clock-speed: 2.1GHz on Neo vs 1.6GHz on PS4 - a 31.3 per cent boost to performance. We don't know exactly what CPU architecture Project Scorpio uses, but based on the balance of probabilities, there's a very good chance that Microsoft is using the same strategy of up-clocking the existing Jaguar cores, or a variation of them.

@BAMozzy
I lean towards slightly argumentative. I guess I have more research to do. I never once thought that Scorpio will run all at 4k, the only thing I have found so far on the rumored specs is it's a lot closer to running native 4k rather than the Ps4 Pro. Some/ most games will be upscaled to 4k is not, will never be the same as native. They will look and run 2x better on Pro than on Slim. I want what NMS developers dreamed of, a damn good game with no sacrifices due to hardware constraints. PS4 Pro will be a good console. Yet I have issues with Sony lying and using fancy words that do not contain the whole truth. TLOU, is most likely upscaled. ESO will most likely be in the same boat. I understood it's the halfway, and can only wonder when the PS5 will come out. Oh and anything that Pachter says usually the opposite happens.

Re: PS4 Pro Is a Bargain and Will Sell Very Well This Christmas, Analysts Agree

Chris0160

@BAMozzy
In the article it even states that while it is 2x better, it only comes close to 4k, not quite 4k, and you just stated you need more than 6Tflops to run games in native 4k, isn't 4.2 less than said 6? As the developer for Horizon came out and announced it wont run in native 4k, whats to say that Bethesda wont come out and say the same. In my initial statement I said you need at least at least 6Tflops to come close to native 4k. That said I have yet to see the game play, I will come around to it. Again, Ps4 Pro atm is the strongest console. I cannot deny that. If 6Tflops isn't enough to run Native 4k how in the world is 4.2 capable when 6 isnt???

Re: PS4 Pro Is a Bargain and Will Sell Very Well This Christmas, Analysts Agree

Chris0160

@BAMozzy
Oops, sorry about that, and yes Ps4 Pro is the strongest console at the moment, I won't deny that. That said, Ps4 pro can not deliver games in native 4k as it is now. At the conference sony stated Horizon Dawn was running at 4k.
http://www.vg247.com/2016/09/08/sony-will-share-more-ps4-pro-technical-details-soon-horizon-zero-dawn-not-running-at-native-4k/
This article says otherwise. Even if the other games have confirmed native 4k now, does not always mean that'll work out.
Sony will use an upscaling technique to get close to 4k. I didn't make it entirely clear that I was talking mostly about the Scorpio. The only part about the One S is that it'll have UHD, for those who don't care, like me, I'm just stating it has it. I may eventually care.
And @JayJayUK I don't know that the audio will be bad. All I know it has the drive.
@Get2SammyB for now yes it doesn't exist, so all I can do is speculate on the spec sheet that's around the internet.

@GamerDad66
I don't know about you but what I want hopefully, eventually, extremely wishful thinking is something like the technology in Sword Art Online. It's like an advanced version of VR. It's something like a game themed lucid dream. It puts your mind inside the game while your body sleeps. It's something that won't happen anytime soon though, but for now yes, I'll put on a helmet, and play Vr.

Re: PS4 Pro Is a Bargain and Will Sell Very Well This Christmas, Analysts Agree

@BAMozzy
I'm talking about the Scorpio vs the Pro. Not the Xbox One Slim. Scorpio is coming out next year. Xbox One S this year, that will not stand up to the Pro, yes. Scorpio however will. The CPU is "clocked" higher, does not mean it will grant that much better processing power. GPU is better than the original PS4, 1.84 vs 4.20 tflops. But for native 4k you'll have to get out 6Tflops+. Sony is using a new up scaling feature that will put it not quite at 4k. Upscaling is not Native 4k. Like I said using fancy words for everyone that does not know about pc building. But I wish they will power it up before release. I will still be a fan of Playstation, and love the brand, and have since the Original. I'll wait and see before I choose to pick up the scorpio or the pro. HDR enabled tvs are too expensive. Both new Xbox's will have the uhd, which may tempt some buyers to buy that instead, that's all on that part.

Re: PS4 Pro Is a Bargain and Will Sell Very Well This Christmas, Analysts Agree

Chris0160

Yet Xbox One S has UHD BD. Sony still under delivers yet again. It won't deliver native 4k, won't deliver 60fps, same cpu, same amount of ram, oh and I guess it'll look prettier, that's it. You can build a better budget pc for the same amount. It will deliver a slight upgrade. Sony is using fancy words, and will entice those who know nothing about pc building. That 1tb will be filled very quickly for the pro. Developers will still be held back from creating a better game, look at NMS. I bet you they had to remove things bc of the ps4. Don't get me wrong, I love sony, and playstation, just annoyed how they think this upgrade is a great thing. Xbox with 6Tflops might come close to native 4k.

Re: Unreal Engine Maker Can't Wait for PS4K

Chris0160

Rumor is it will be AMD's new Polaris gpu, there are a few articles, and videos on YouTube showing the comparisons. I really hope and wish that the Polaris gpu will be stronger than Nvidia's new 1080's. Knowing this, I'm wondering if Microsoft will use Nvidia this time instead of AMD.

Re: Yoshida: PlayStation VR Is Not Another PS Move, 3D TV

Chris0160

If you've built a gaming pc before, you'd know as soon as Sony announced the specs for the Ps4, it was already far behind what a great desktop can do. Nvidia's Titan alone can beat this. The only reason why this has more power than the Xbox (which I believe is obvious) is their ram situation. It's a shame, that's why most of these games are being downgraded and not 120fps, and 4k. Mind you I love the PS4, and will most likely get this Vr sooner or later.
