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.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Fuse ARPG, Soulslike, and cozy crafting mechanics for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Here is The Nerd Stash's early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the licences for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
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.
@Kamikaze
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.
