@tatsumi DLSS is irrelevant as its a CPU limit. Don't get me wrong, I average above 60fps but I do see dips below 60 when using presentmon, which shows CPU times close to 20ms at the start of the village section after riding the mount, elsewhere there's some brief spikes
They're not something I'd likely notice without the overlay on but my point is more about my CPU vs what's in the consoles, as they're likely to be hit much harder at those points
I'm really looking forward to this and can see myself spending way too much time with the ship combat, plus you get Daytona USA 2 Battle on the Edge included
Good luck getting a smooth 60fps, my PC with a 5800X3D and 4080 Super drops below 60fps at times throughout the benchmark at 1440p. It seems to be a CPU limitation and the PS5 CPU is far less capable.
If you look at their requirements, they're talking about a Ryzen 5 3600 at 60fps with frame generation
@Darude84 I can tell you that GT7 on PSVR2 is a massive upgrade with the Pro, all the blurriness and ghosting is gone and the image is very sharp. Sadly RE4 and Village don't benefit for PSVR but they do outside of it
@Darude84 depends on the game but a few are noticably better in person and that doesn't always come across well in screenshots or YouTube. The Last of Us Part 2 is significantly sharper as well as running quite a bit above 60fps, FFVII goes from a blurry mess to looking really good.
Overall I'd say its a bigger upgrade than the PS4 Pro was and at times is comparable to the difference between a Series S and X. As PSSR improves, that gap will only widen
@Medic_alert exactly this, there's nothing in that listing to remotely suggest a PS5 release, given that "multiple platforms" covers Series S/X, PC and likely Steamdeck verification.
But Microsofts recent behaviour means it very well could come to PS5
@breakneck that pirated number is from the leaked build a year ago.
The reality is that games ported later never sell amazing, regardless of the platform and I'd imagine that a lot of people with gaming PC's probably have a PS5 anyway. We've seen from Helldivers, that good simultaneous releases can have great success on PC, I just don't see late ports and buggy ones at that having any real impact
I'd be delighted if it was or at the least a seperate app, it's really annoying in GTAV that the story isn't the default selection alongside wasting lots of storage on a mode I'll never play
I already own it on PC, so the main reason would be to play multiplayer with my 8 year old boy, (with my PC at the back of the living room we can play online together whilst in the same room).
So yeah if I can get it cheap, as he loves playing it by himself as well
If you've not played it, I can highly recommend it, just don't compare it to GT7 as they're nothing alike. This is just a very fun open world arcade racing game which is only bettered by its own predecessor in the genre
"once it's on PC, it'll probably get super optimized and changed and new graphics cards that come out, and you'll be able to run it at 60fps probably at that time."
No offence but he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about, if it's GPU limited then today's graphics cards can easily more than double the console performance. RDR2 could run at 60fps on PS5 and Series X if Rockstar could be bothered to patch it.
If this is 30fps, then it's more likely a CPU limitation than GPU and that would make me seriously consider just waiting for the PC version as 30fps just looks awful to me now
I've still got my Dreamcast copy and play it from time to time, that and MSR were (still are) great fun. I'm gonna pick this up on Steam but I'd love to see it on console too, we need more of these racing games
These days both of them are just low to mid range PC's and without them costing an absolute fortune, they will remain that way. No future Xbox is going to sell in significant numbers if they put all their games on Playstation and I don't see how it can be significantly more powerful than whatever a PS6 is either.
Due to their strategy, I've long since sold my Series X, which was actually a good console with some nice features and simply upgraded my PC instead. Now I can play all their games in much higher quality on PC or if I want that console experience, play them on the PS5 Pro
This looks absolutely brilliant and bonkers, RGG are out here embarrassing much of the AAA industry (and a AAAA one 😉) with regular and great games and I cannot wait to play this
I'd imagine the movie would have contributed to it's success but more importantly, they made a great 3D Sonic (well Shadow) game, easily one of my favourites from last year
Epic haven't even made a dent in the PC space and that's when many of its users will know who Epic are. On mobile, your average Candy Crush player will likely have never even heard of them, so the chances of them going on the play store to download another store to play the same free to play games, seems rather slim
This is what I want from Doom, not jumping around and dashing like Eternal. Just lots of guns and lots of enemies to shoot. There is no game this year that I'm more excited for
I wouldn't quite put it up there with Mario's best and I'd actually say Resuce Mission is the better Astro Bot game overall. Still rather than compare, I'd just say Astro Bot is a great 3D platformer and hopefully we'll get more
Absolutely not and whilst it's possible the GTA6 could still sell well at that price point, there is no chance whatsoever, that other games would be able to be successful at that price point
Compete in what sense? in terms of power it looks to be in and around a PS4, albeit with newer architecture and potentially DLSS. Ultimately though this will forge it's own path away from Playstation as Nintendo have done for a very long time.
And let's be honest, that new Mario Kart will easily outsell anything Sony puts out on PS5
I don't have any gaming subscriptions at the moment as I find the majority of the games I want to play aren't even on them. If anything I'm getting rid of subscriptions and only have Netflix because it's basically free with my mobile contract and Virgin Media
I turned it off as soon as I realised it was doing it, that mysterious "other" taking up storage is bad enough without clips I'll never look back on also taking up space
I've redeemed some points for store credit but by and large I forget it even exists. The odd time I do remember, it's usually for buying/playing games that I have no interest in or have just bought and I don't get the points as you have to activate it first
As always this is a ridiculous comparison, comparing physical sales to the total of the industry which includes mobile and PC and even on consoles own stores, where there are tons of digital only games.
For big single player releases on Playstation and even more so on Nintendo, the physical/digital split is much closer and often favours physical
This just tells me there are far too many awards available these days. Astro Bot is certainly a great game, not amongst the very best 3D platformers but a must for fans of the genre
Until PC can truly offer the simplicity of the plug and play nature of console, there will always be a market for them. Personally I'm happy bouncing between Nintendo, Playstation, PC and VR with PSVR2/Quest 3 and will buy any Playstation 6 when it comes.
Xbox haven't been failing in the console space because they were putting all their games on PC. They put all their games on PC because they had already messed up their console business
If it wasn't for the background I'd never look at it, the first thing I did was disable as much of it as I could leaving just the storage and battery displays. All it really does, is remind me that I'd like to be able to customise all of my home screen and not just a tab I spend no time on.
I picked up Hitman 3 in preparation for its upcoming PSVR2 mode and have been getting a bit of practice for the time being.
I also picked up the Quest 3 and have been enjoying the new Batman game, which is just how you'd have imagined Arkham Asylum in VR, hopefully it comes to PSVR2 at some point
He's a massive part of why the movies are so good, not just as an antagonist for Sonic but also his relationship with Agent Stone and he clearly loves playing the character
@mac_da_man I really enjoy it, there's only a few environments altogether but plenty of collectables to find, which in turn open up a few extra experiences. I think it'll be one which will just be fun to jump into every now and then
I only recently picked up PSVR2 again in the recent sale, so I think the only 2024 game I've played is Subside. I am certainly going to try Metro and look into the other games here a bit more, plus the recent Aliens game looks good
I've got my tickets booked for tomorrow morning and can't wait. Sonic 2 is my favourite video game movie and this sounds even better and it's nice to know I'll have a 4th movie to look forward to
