Oh, yes. I upgraded a desktop PC back in 2001, just to max...(lol) out the graphics settings. It was an 800mhz Pentium III with 256mb of ram, and a 64mb Geforce2. It was a BEAST!
@nomither6 Man. Do it. You'll love it. Incredibly gorgeous open world. I have wandered and looked at undergrowth and mist in the mornings and and and. I really wanted to be there π
2K is 1080p, not 1440p. It annoys me to no end that no one seems to get that. Even the people who really should know. 1920 = close to 2000 = 2k 2560 = close to 2500 =2.5K/qhd (because roughly 4x 720p)
@helloim_anthony Nope. Just not worth the money when there are plenty of amazing games that both look great and run at 60fps. Since I got the PS5 a year back, I haven't played a single 30fps game. Not one. They've all had a 60fps mode, or simply didn't even have a 30fps mode.
@B_Lindz Ok. Fair enough. The majority of the AAA games I've played (that's a lot) and watched analysis of, ran mostly stable. But that's not the same as stating the console was known for it. It just wasn't
@HeroYoshiko
You distinctly remember wrong. The PS4 had no problems with 1080p @30fps. The xbox one couldn't handle it, but that's another story. PS4pro generally did 1440p or above. Late gen the PS4 slipped below 1080p in demanding games.
And HD TV's weren't just taking off. 4K was. I think you confuse the PS4 with the PS3.
@racinggamefanatic Try playing any game that has the option on 60fps even for just a few minutes, and then swap to a 30fps mode. You'll notice instantly.
I have a very hard time getting excited for this game. I liked the Arkham games for the whole atmosphere and gameplay. This, to me, feels like a DC comics take on the Avengers game. I wish someone would just make a Batman game where you can switch between playing as Batman and Bruce Wayne.
I bought it on PS4pro. It is unbearably ugly. Horrible draw distance with the worst pop in. I played it for an hour...maybe two. Haven't touched it since. And now it's even uglier? Oh, man... π€¦ββοΈ
@residentSteven I haven't played the sequel, but as I recall, what you mention is only early on, when the game wants to set you up properly, with a bit of story, skills and what's not. Push through that. It won't last long π
@residentSteven Do it! Once the game really opens up, and you get to explore everything, it becomes an amazing experience. The lore and world building is phenomenal
@BoldAndBrash It's the style and moment to moment gameplay that does it for me π amazing gun play, nice vehicle handling and a surprisingly varied map. It really does feel like equal parts DOOM/Mad Max/Borderlands
@Col_McCafferty Hahahaha π I love it when you entitled know it all types fly off the hinges, foaming with fury and all. Watch your blood pressure, man
@MitTheSequal Because most people just charge their controllers with whatever usb-c cable they use to charge their phones. I do too. It's right next to my couch. The PS5 is not.
Yeah...Rockstar have shown 0% of the GTA V next gen version they chose to delay in order to mess up the launch of the trilogy. They can take GTA online, a bag of wieners and choke on both. Then they can suck an egg for dessert.
Wow! I have to try it! I have a soft spot for walking sims. Especially "Rapture", "Ethan Carter" and Firewatch, but I've played numerous. This sounds intriguing! π
@Lenny0521 I was 19 π so many of my friends played it. I didn't get on board until Vice City, so I'm still yet to play the "original" if you like. I can't wait π
I still haven't really forgiven them for leaving out the PS4pro patch for part 2, after they talked about how awesome the pro was. Devolver made the whole "greedy publishers suck" at E3, only to release part two before it was ready. The devs cited the reason the pro got left out as "time constraints". Nice, Devolver. Real nice.
I hope Rockstar gets hit by a nuke or something. Like, if some arctic submarine on patrol, has a complicated and very unlikely series of technical mishaps that ultimately lead to them accidentally launching a nuke at Rockstar's server farm, just in time to ruin lunch brake in the executive lounge.
"Nuke 'em! - get them before they get you"
I played every Far Cry except for 2 and Primal. I haven't finished 3, Blood Dragon and 4 though. I loved the first one back in the day. I built a brand new PC primarily for Far Cry, DOOM 3 and Half Life 2 π
I don't have a problem with that. I just like the fact that games work on consoles. It's the convenience that attracts me. Well, that and trophies π
@daveofduncan Yeah. Tell that to the 1000s of people who are on lists for notifications and what's not. Snooze I lose? I received two offers in 3 months. Both ridiculously overpriced. Are you a scalper? Your attitude seems to suggest it.

I saw that π€© it's so cool. I can't wait to try it in VR! I'm actually considering buying a used quest 2, and run it on PC. It's not as impressive as the PSVR2, but definitely no slouch either, with quite a high resolution display.
Re: Dead Space PS5 Remake Graphics and Performance Options Detailed
2K is 1080p, not 1440p. It annoys me to no end that no one seems to get that. Even the people who really should know.
