Re: EA's Controversial $55 Billion Buyout to Close Next Week

$55 billion?!?!?
Guess it's pocket money for those filthy rich *****. That insane amount of money, could be used for something that would help mankind, like cancer research, help rebuild town/homes that have been destroyed by storms, earthquakes and war. And so much more...

Re: Here's How Much Better Metal Gear Solid 4 Looks on PS5

Exerion76

All I can remember from MGS4, is getting bored to death, by the insane amount of cutscenes. Even though it's been almost two decades later, I doubt I would be able to "play" it again. Especially these days, when I have even less patience, for long cutscenes. 😮‍💨

Let's see how many actually stops buying new games after this.
When Sony releases a sequel, to your favorite franchises, on the PS6, will you be able to resist?

Yes it sucks for collectors, but honestly, take a deep breath, and realise, this really is such a first world problem...
We're lucky, we don't have to face REAL problems, like being blown to pieces, in a warzone, living broke on the streets, or dying from Cancer. In the end, it's just videogames.

Re: PSVR2 Fans Are Having a Good Day as New Game Announced for the Headset

Exerion76

This is the kind of sh*t we got, back in 2016-2018, for PCVR. Back then I dreamed about all the epic AAA games we would get in the future. And it was promising for a while, with Half Life Alyx, Insomniac's excellent Stormlands, and on PSVR, the amazing Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Battlezone VR etc. The future looked bright, but then it crashed and burned. No more AAA, and 90% of VR games are still gimmicky indie crap, with "Wii" looking graphics. Much thanks to Oculus/Meta, turning it into trash for the casual gamers, who only bought it for Beat Saber...
I thought Sony would give it a proper boost, with PSVR2, but nope...
Didn't even bother patching/porting their PSVR1 games, for the new headset and controllers.

I've given up on VR.
And to be honest, the wow factor wore off quickly.

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028

Even though I'm a PC gamer, where all games are digital, I just don't trust Sony enough, to buy AAA games digital on their platform, unless it's on a very deep sale, like $5 or something.

I'm not gonna bother buying anymore PS5 games. Not interest in their third person games.
And I'm not in a hurry to play GTA VI.

I still have a great collection of PS1-PS3 games, to remind me of the old Playstation, that I knew and loved, since day one.

Re: GTA 6 Not Expected to Run at 60fps on Any PS5 Console

@Bot_Bot_69
The Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) targets a framerate of 60 frames per second (fps) on NTSC (North America/Japan) systems and 50 fps on PAL (Europe/Australia) systems. This is tied to the console's screen refresh rate of approximately 59.92 Hz and 49.70 Hz, respectively.

The same applies to NES/SNES/Master System, PC Engine etc.

@helloim_anthony
You must be young, and grew up during the PS3 era.
We've had 60fps, since the Atari 2600.
60fps was standard (except for badly programmed games) during the 8-16 bit era.
The worst generations, when it comes to 30fps or less, is the N64 and PS3/360 consoles.

No you don't need a very expensive rig, to get better performance than a PS5 Pro.
Once again, it's the CPU that is the weakpoint of consoles. For some reason, they only gave the GPU a major upgrade, which causes a bottleneck. And on PC, you aren't forced to use the settings they choose for you. So there are many ways, even on lower end PC's, to reach 60fps in games.

These rumours, that you have to pay 2-4 thousand dollars, for better performance than a PS5 Pro is just bullsh*t.

I'm just gonna wait for the PC release anyways.
Can't stand 30fps anymore, in action games, as the blur and stutter, during camera pans, makes me feel ill now. Might be because I got a 83 inch Oled now, which makes the stutter even more noticeable.
It would be insane if they didn't offer a performance mode. I would rather take 1080p 60fps, than 4K 30fps.

Re: 'Above $1,000 Is the Floor': Analysts Predict PS6 Price, and It's Not Good

Exerion76

If this is true, then it's just insane.
Video game consoles, shouldn't be a luxury item.

If prices don't go back to normal (like what didn't happenen to the GPU market after Covid), even after the AI madness have slowed down, then the new video game crash will definitely happen.

People will probably just stick with their PS5, just like what happened with PS4.
