Ahead of Sony and Microsoft's next PlayStation and Xbox announcements, which are expected to herald a significant leap in graphics power for home console gaming, one developer with knowledge of what's to come from both machines has said PC gaming will remain the place to be for the best possible visuals.
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Well they will be lucky to match even Midrange PCs, its not just high end PCs. Mid range PCs costing 600-800usds will walk all over the next gen consoles.
Next gen consoles are rumored to sport GPUs comparable to 7870, which by todays standard is essentially mid range. By the time the consoles do launch 7870 will be closer to low end model.
Hence consoles will just be locked down branded PCs, charging royalties on every game sold, lacking any sort of BC or modding options.

Hardware is useless without the software. Console makers can sell hardware at a loss, however they will rip you off with the software. I would think paying a bit more for the hardware initially then paying a lot less on the software is economic in the long run, specially for real gamers who want to be buying 2-3 games a month.
Btw Wii U is pretty out dated to begin with, PS4 or Xbox 720 wont be selling less than 400usd, might even be 500usd so thats not too far behind a mid range PC.
@Kratos_kills
I am sure playing the handful of exclusives is amazing :) its not hard owing a console for those.
"We buy consoles for exclusive games, cheap cost, knowing every game will play the same"
Cheap cost... What?
Paying more on every game isnt cheap.
LMAO oh Crytek!
You guys make such ineffecient games.
Next gen, Naughty Dog with GDDR5 and that HD7970 in the PS4 is going to pound you graphics to the dirt.
Take note :
PS2: 0.06TFlops
PS3: 0.23TFlops
PS4:1.84TFlops.
Considering its a closed system, ND is going to make Crytek a fool next gen.
EDIT: and dont tell me "ButZ teh Mega Expensivz GPU is likez 4TFlopz!" That means nothing if devs cant use it to the max.
The PS3, with its out of date (by todays standards) CPU and a 7800GTX from 2006 puts of graphics that a pc with those specs can never put out. 250MB OF VIDEO RAM,250MB SYSTEM RAM!
To me, true dev talent is when devs like Polyphony Digital, Naughty Dog, Guerilla Games etc puts out masterpieces with limited resources.
Sorry I don't want the need to upgrade my PC for EVERY new PC game.
PS4 will be more than enough for me, plus PS4 games blow PC out of the water.
