Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

@ILikeStake with all that being said , i still think its an interesting device , i'll keep an eye out on it, i already bought a steam deck ( funny story by selling csgo skins i got it for free pretty much) but i don't really use it as much as i expected to. and honestly im gonna suggest it to a friend that was considering getting a gaming pc , but he just wanted to play steam games with out spending too much money on a rig.

@ILikeStake i don't really see it taking over the console market with something that less powerful then any of the consoles currently on the market other then the series S. i give it maybe 6-8 million units which would be pretty good for them tbh. you also have to take in the part that they only sell these things on their store , other then resellers selling them for more money on amazon and ebay.

@ILikeStake but who is this for? i mean you can buy a pc right now more powerful for slightly more money then probably this would cost , that you can upgrade , but once this is outdated you would have to buy another one which i guess which makes it like a console. i bought a gaming rig 5 years ago , and i could prob go 4-5 more years with out touching it. i guess it would be good for people that aren't into consoles but that don't want to fully commit to a full gaming pc. but thats just me this whole unit is confusing in who they are marketing it to.

@VeganH eh have you seen it in action? i would suggest there are plenty of videos of it out there. after seeing this in action i have no idea who is it for , if you have a gaming pc , you already have something better already , if you have a console like a ps5 base or pro its already better then this, going from a ps5 to this would be a downgrade.

@ILikeStake its upscalled 4k not native. , its the same as saying , " the xbox series S is gonna give the ps5 pro/ ps6 a run for its money." maybe watch the digital foundry video to see it in action but at this point it very much isn't even a thought for sony tbh. i mean if you have a pc already with any thing from the most recent years , you literally have no reason to buy this.

@ILikeStake df already did a hands on video , its bellow a ps5 and above a xbox series S , they didn't know who this was for as its not really the 4k 60fps machine they are advertising. honestly i don't even think the are marketing it as something to compete against a ps5.

Re: PS5's Biggest Game Has Not Released Yet, PlayStation Boss Teases

well it could be one of 3 , there is still an unannounced game naughty dog is currently working on along with intergalatic , there is also Santa Monica's Project With Corey being worked on that hasn't been announced either , and i'll throw in the dark horse that the next Horizon game is much closer then we think from coming out , maybe late 2026 or they'll hold it off as a ps5/ps6 game , i could also see at least at launch that ps5/ps6 games will be cross buy meaning you would automatically get both.

Re: Sony Speaks on Bungie Acquisition Disaster, Takes an 'Impairment Loss'

honestly imo it can still be saved , sony takes over full sony studio which should have been done from the start , take the destiny franchise and make a solo story like game halo. you can even add in some mp stuff , with the story and lore from that series i think it could make a good single player story ip. or go all the way back either make a brand new oni game or remake oni from the ground up for the ps5.
