Re: Poll: Are You Playing Fallout 4's Next-Gen Version?

MattSilverado

I booted up my PS4 saved games, from almost EIGHT years ago... "story" is completed but I think I've 70% of the map to explore yet. 60fps is amazing, and load times are quite fast, around 5 seconds, I remember those being quite slow back then.

Graphics are showing their age mainly talking about lighting... this game would be awesome with real time global illumination, everything is so flat that it hurts.

Re: Meta Quest 3 Revealed as Cheaper, All-In Rival to PS5's PSVR2

@gollumb82 πŸ˜… well... That's it. I've Alyx and while I've enjoyed it I stopped playing it after a couple of chapters because I said "I will play it only when I can run it maxed out" 🀣🀣🀣... So I think it will be with the 5080 or 4080ti or whatever comes next 🀣... Same for dirt rally 2, waiting for decent quality. I'm getting a Fanatec DD Pro GranTurismo edition with H shifter and handbrake (replacing my old g29) in a few days, so maybe I will go back to the PCVR racing games also...

@gollumb82 quest2 is nice, I stopped using it with PCVR because my PC couldn't handle the quality I was expecting
with the required framerate... I've a 3070 and while I can play any game, using high graphic settings or of course going up with the resolution causes framerate dips etc and I opted to wait for the next gen of GPUs... But now the 4090 is expensive and has some issues I think need some ironing... So I will wait to the next refresh on the curreng GPU gen. Meanwhile I enjoy GT7 with the PSVR2, it's something awesome. Overall the Quest2 is an amazing piece of hardware for the price.

@PlatinumKing can't stop playing it. It's just amazing. It will take another generation of HMD tech to have really great visuals. The sweet spot of PSVR2 is really small, and greater FOV would be appreciated πŸ˜…... Anyway it's great. I've had the PSVR and also have a quest2, it's not much better than Q2 in PCVR apart from the OLED screen.

Re: Out Today: PSVR2 Brings Next-Gen VR to the Masses

There's an option missing on the poll... I WANT to buy PSVR2 right NOW... but Sony is not selling it -yet- on my country (Argentina, although it's advertised on the local web page)... So even if I have the cash in hand and the will to skip sleeping in order to enjoy it, I can't. I did buy the PSVR on launch back in it's day and also have a Quest2, so I'm very excited now... I guess I can only wait.

@Art_Vandelay I'm a pretty handy guy with PC and gaming and stuff (I game since late 80s, and I work as a computer programmer)... I even had the very first 3d accelerators on PC (not GPUs back then), the Voodoo, Rendition V1000, etc... so I'm not scared of a tweak here and there to play my games... BUT configuring PCVR/Quest2 ... oh dear!!!! So yes, better have it sorted out and smooth as it can be by Sony ; )

@Bez87 I use the Quest 2 as PC VR… both wireless and wired (for example with racing sims as you don't move around) . Quest2 is an incredible device for it's price, even using it as a "VR console" is already good... As you say the graphics are not high quality because it's very much like a smartphone level SOC... But then when used with a PC, it's mind blowing. Thing is, what type of hardware do you need on the PC to run with great experience... I have a rtx 3070 also from launch day and it's not enough to deliver native panel resolution for quest2, so literally I stopped playing like 18 months ago (not even a 3090 can deliver)... I'm waiting the release of the new GPUs later this year so I can play with the intended resolution (the difference is quite striking). So, I do think PSVR2 is amazing because the hardware in PS5 is good enough to provide a decent experience (mainly because it's a closed platform+ foveated rendering)... And that idea of having the wire coming from above is good, I like it πŸ˜…, at least not going to step on the cable is nice.

@invictus4000 well, yes, I don't know the tech stuff behind it but it may be very possible that Sony opted for a wired solution because it's 100% predictable both on bandwidth and stability of the connection. Even if Sony could ship a propietary wireless solution, maybe there are other issues that may affect the quality of the experience. I'm pretty sure that "has to be wireless" was a top priority on Sony's wishlist when designing the hardware/ecosystem, so there must be a couple of very good reasons out there.

I've to say PSVR2 seems to hit all the right notes, except for being wired... can't get it. I've had the PSVR almost at launch, then sold it a couple of years ago when Quest 2 lauched (got one on pre order with the money from PSVR) and aside from other technical benefits, being able to play wireless is just another level. I do aknowledge the benefits of wired solution, be it less cost, less weight of the device and unlimited playtime (no battery), etc... BUT... still can't get it.

Anyway I'm all in day one.
