@theheadofabroom what you're not taking into account is the system isn't outputting to 4k, no handheld needs that..

@theheadofabroom The Steam Deck is really old hardware lol.

It's two years old, and runs all current games just fine.

They keep churning out hardware and forgetting that games are a pretty important component.

@nomither6 You're confusing gaming/streaming with PC building.

If you think a twitch thot can tell you what speed her memory runs at on her PC or what voltage is safe to overclock to then I have a bridge to sell you 🤣

It's a 20 year old game, it would be like nominating The Godfather Remastered for an Oscar in 2024.

Plus, you were right, the whole thing feels sanitised.

I got 12 hours in and decided I just wanted to replay P3 FES on an emulator in 4k and had much more of a blast.

Real answer: Because they haven't shuttered enough studios this year.

@Loamy Nerds buy PCs.

The PS5 pro is for people not nerdy enough to build and run a PC.

I'm puzzled that if all you have done is put more power into the gpu the games are performing worse when they haven't been patched.

Seems to me they have been doing some creative accounting with the new hardware that is causing problems.

PS4 Pro ran games significantly better even if they hadn't been patched. They should never, ever get worse with better hardware, it makes zero sense.

Pass.

Anyone who thinks they can change Toriyamas art deserves to be fired.

Really excited with what he has in store, I've really not liked the direction any of the Yakuza games have taken since 6.

Yakuza 1 on the PS2 was massive at the time, because it was dense, reviewers at the time tried to compare it with GTA and the map size, and scored it down on that.

Now look where we are.

I enjoyed Judgement, but the main protag was a bit pants.

The game hasn't even broke a million sales, if it had, we would have heard about it.

This was 10 years in development, it is a very safe bet that it had a minimum budget of 150 million without marketing.

This needed to sell at least 5 million to break even.

@Nexozi Both sets of people can be foolish at the same time...

I bought them on launch and haven't been back since, has it really been three years??

@Northern_munkey I haven't bought a physical game since the PS3. I spent the 80s, 90s and 2000s swapping tapes, carts, floppies and disks, the second we could have your library on storage there was no way I was messing about with that nonsense.

@Northern_munkey I just went on the PS store to double check, and it's listed as £69.99 for the standard version.

@Deathnote93 Then you don't know what we had before. The current crop of games are absolute garbage in comparison.

Fidelity has gone through the roof, yet writing, design and most importantly fun, has gone through the floor.

You can never be too old to game, but you can get too old to put up with bad quality.

@N0CYmr0k the 4080 was £1200.

The 4080 will last well into PS6 life cycle, because my guess (which will be a very accurate one) is that PS6 will aim for 4070 power.(the PS5 pro is 3070 level)

I"ve bought every single PlayStation since the Japanese version of PS1 and have amassed thousands of digital content games, most bought at full retail.

I have over 800 games on steam, and as a like for like price comparison have saved thousands on the PC alternative versions.

Consoles will never, ever match up on price, once you've had the initial outlay, you make it all back plus a lot more on the software.

The main draw of PlayStation was it's content, and if you have been as rabid as I have since 1994 about the brand you will find it impossible to think that this generation has been good for content in comparison to what came before. My brand loyalty has dissipated so all I think about is cost.

It's £24.99 on PC and I can run it 4k max on my 4080.

How much is it on PS5? £69.99?

Oh.

@Almost_Ghostly That's not reading comprehension, we are specifically talking about FF7R.

And you know that.

Plus...FF7R was developed on UE4, not UE5 so yet again you are showing your lack of knowledge on the subject.

@Karosso75 I'm currently play RDR 1, Kane and Lynch and Sleeping Dogs on PC and having an absolute blast.

Games used to be fun and they've forgotten how to do that.

Wait until next quarter when they have fully audited the concord debacle.

If anyone wants two fantastic films to watch of his you should try Enemy Territory and Night of the Living Dead 90.

@Almost_Ghostly not sure how that is possible when it isn't out on PC.

Tourist.

Thing is they were getting feedback about how bad the character design was when they released the trailer in 2023, but as usual gamers are ignored.

@riceNpea Had one since day 1.

It would be nice to hwve some games to go along with it.

Back in the last gen it was my XBone gathering dust, it's now the PS5s turn, which is the first since PlayStation became a thing.

...and we are still playing PS4 games...

@Deadlyblack Played through it on PS5, but cannot wait for the PC version, 4K60 max settings is going to look a bit special I think.

@Deadlyblack I'm fairly certain it will be fine with a pc that has a decent processor and graphics card.

At the end of the day the pro is still pretty much only up to a 3080 at the absolute most.

What an absolute beast of a machine lol

The box never mattered, it was always the content.

They have not even come close to justifying a new console release this generation.

This is for the iPhone generation.

Survey also finds that a lot of bad games were released last year.

Fwr to many gender studies grads going into gaming insteas of people with writing abilities or even a basic interest in gaming.

They should be experts in controlling the narrative and what people think at this point.

Ubisoft became the Templars a while back.

They need to just admit it flopped and move on.

Time is marching on and staff are still employed so costs will always continue, you can't just say in two years time "we've made our money back!"

Business just doesn't work that way.

Really looking forward to Fantasian.

This first game trailer that put a genuine smile on my face for this generation.

We're just as sick of the slop on PC as we are on PS5.

@Matroska I enjoyed Alastair, and his humour was very British.

Perhaps research "More tea vicar" or Carry On movies.

Sorry if this offends you, I'll let you get back to your "well that just happened" dialogue.

@Matroska That's the thing, it felt more like actual, adult humour.

This feels like pixar "humour"

Just got through the first couple of hours of Metaphor and the story is starting proper, but I'm just counting the hours until Monday when my shiny new Steam Deck OLED arrives.

Cannot wait to get stuck into some of my 800+ backlog and some retro gaming without constantly feeling like I'm hogging the TV from my missus.

The name is a bit too close to fadge for my liking.

@FuriousMachine yes you can, I ended up having to connect my 360 to dump my originals to pc though because only certain drives can read them directly, but some people have had success.

Have a scout around the xenia wiki, loads of how to guides and makes for a great project if you are bored.

@FuriousMachine xbox 360 emulator, runs really well these days, will even run on low end machines. Great for Dragon Age, Gears of War, Forza etc.

No need, Canary is doing a great job letting me play it in 4k on my pc in all its uncensored glory.

@NEStalgia I'm shocked you're the first.

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us.

I'll be honest Exodus is the first game ivebeen genuinely hyped for in years.

If the new guy worked on Spiderman 2...ooh boy, we're in for a rough ride.
