Re: PS5 Pro Is Definitely Not the Best Place to Play The Outer Worlds 2 at Launch

tameshiyaku

Said it before and will say it again. Uncritical and mindless ps5pro buyers will be the reason why we'll get to pay premium for ps6. Sony will know that it'll get away with unreasonable price hikes.
That's why I don't feel one bit sorry that you're not getting your money's worth. Power and performance is not what makes a console good, but ya fanboys won't get it in your thick skulls.

Re: All PS5 Games with Power Saver Support

@MrHabushi I can run a low spec game on a PC, lower the TDP and keep Res and framerate the same until a certain point.
Of course that won't work on a AAA game that fires on all cylinders but as the other user said, simple games shouldn't show an impact, but that's up to Devs on console, unlike users tweaking these things on PC.

Re: All PS5 Games with Power Saver Support

@Ludacritz yeah, shallow virtue signalling sucks, but that usually comes from corporations who use it mostly as PR gags, though in this case I think it's more about prepping for portable hardware.

However, government regulation in the EU has led to some consumer and environmentally friendly decisions, like usb c Standard, changeable batteries, right to repair and required updates and product support for 5 years starting at production end. These are just a few positive EU laws that come to mind.

Re: 'Even I Can't Tell the Difference': Shuhei Yoshida Thinks PS6 Needs Something Other Than Just More Power

tameshiyaku

Shuhei's got a good point. Why is any innovation that isn't base gaming performance considered a gimmick!? It's all about the implementation. That's why the ps6 should just be a single handheld device with a dock.
Maybe the true innovation is bringing in all current device functionality into a single device:

  • Portal: PS6 is a handheld
  • Home console: Egpu dock for handheld
  • VR/AR: detach controllers and put the display into an optional affordable headset. Works wireless or over cable.

Re: Here's How Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Up on the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X

@belmont it's a question of mass adoption. The gaming market is brute forcing graphics on PCs with unoptimized games, where so much unused power hungry performance is not properly used. Consoles are more elegant with a closed system that doesn't need to be scaled. But Arm can seriously be the future, perhaps even paired with beefy GPUs if one really needs all that performance when stationary. There has barely been a noteworthy leap within the x86 APU space as this video shows. The next step up would be that beefy amd ai max+, but that thing is too power hungry and doesn't go well with low TDPs. No, I don't want to see an apple hardware future, but open platform Arm is a good thing.

@nomither6 sure, there's always some captain obvious who looks at both and enlights us all how the switch looks like crap next to a home console or pc. But what should I say... twits.

I don't really get the pc handheld Vs ps5 comparison. It's like comparing a vespa with a muscle car.

What is however quite telling is the miniscule difference between the 3,5 year old steam deck and a new, 1000€, big company backed handheld. The pc handheld market has just pushing prices upward, seeing what they could get away with, and it's just sick.

Another point that irks me is just how ***** the x86 (classic PC) architecture is. You got arm (android) processors running more current pc games, emulated, at passable to well playable performance at good battery runtimes. Just imagine that! The average pc handheld will get you 1-2 hours with only slightly better performance. And we're still talking early days of android pc emulation. Just go check out some emulation footage on a snapdragon 8 elite via game hub... it's a game changer.

At this point, why are we still even considering x86 for handhelds, or even console/desktops.

Re: Want More Silent Hill on PS5? You May Not Have to Wait Long

tameshiyaku

I've seldomly been so amazed by a game's story as much as with silent hill f. Maybe not the story a manosphere infected gaming community can broadly digest but a relevant one for that, despite the game playing in the 60s.
And don't get it wrong, this is a silent hill game through and through that sits comfortably next to the best of the series. Silent hill is defined by it's themes and not by it's setting.

Re: Silent Hill 2's Overdue PS5 Pro Fixes Now in Konami's Hands

tameshiyaku

On base ps5 both sh 2 and f the graphics are sharp enough to look good on a big 4k TV and the frame rate's smooth except for a short stutter while auto saving.

Don't know what everyone is on about, but the obsessive scrutiny on frames and resolution is really taking the fun out of gaming for many it seems.

Re: Onimusha: Way of the Sword Still Looks Sick, But We Ain't Sold on That English Dub

tameshiyaku

The dub is good, people are just not used to British English in Japanese games or anime, but thinking about it, it's a better fit for the feudal setting.
I noticed the same reactions towards the Xenoblade Chronicles games, especially 2 which had a bunch of Welsh and Irish V.O.s which was so cool, but people equated it to bad dubbing, which really wasn't the case.

Personally find German to Dub Japanese really well because they've got honorifics.

Re: Silent Hill F Is Another Game That Stumbles on PS5 Pro

tameshiyaku

@LazyDaisy I sure hope so, but as of late hardware prices just feel stagnant. We've been accustomed to having the older generation of hardware become cheaper and the new generation take the olds original price (range). Nowadays the old gen remains the same price and the follow-up just ends up more expensive. We've seen it with the switch 1, phones, pc handhelds, graphic cards, etc.

Of course the whole tariff situation, post COVID, war, etc comes to play too. However I feel many industries just use these factors as an excuse to experiment and see where consumers "breaking point" is, and in that regard I feel many overzealous consumers have failed to send companies a clear message that there's a limit and replaced it with a fry "shut up and take my money" meme.

Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 Seemingly Leaked on Dev Website

tameshiyaku

@nessisonett Yakuza 3 is amazing. The Okinawa setting is my favourite and it's got some of the best humour without being outlandish like lad and pirate yakuza games, that merely do it for meme culture.

Personally was hoping for a kenzan remake or an anime spin off like fist of the north star. I think Lone Wolf and cub or JoJo's bizarre adventure would be great fits for studio rgg.
