Sony's new console has often been described as a mid-range gaming PC in terms of its overall technological make-up. Rip apart the various components and the claims have some merit, but with the benefits of a closed box design and a unified memory set-up, the new console has certain qualities that could even give high-end PC rigs a run for their money.
The Outerhaven writes: Remnant II: The Forgotten Kingdom, is a solid expansion of Remnant II, albeit a short adventure that adds more lore to the series and will beckon players back.
Eiyuden Chronicle is finally here, and The Nerd Stash points out the game's comparison to Suikoden, as well as the love Yoshitaka Murayama put into it.
Social media was set ablaze over people saying gaming in 2024 is in a rut, but is there any merit to it? Not in my opinion. Let’s discuss
Gaming has been great. The industry however has been taking hits here and there. Nintendo is prepping for next gen, Sony has no first party, and mcsft has...who knows? I guess that's why it seems like gaming is in a rut for some. 3rd party and indies has been amazing though.
Personally I'm enjoying the sh out of gaming these last few years. All these great games, it takes me back to snes ps1 days where there was so much variety. In all my gaming years I think the ps3/360 was the worst of it. It was first person shooter after first person shooter, variety went out the window because that's when development really started rising for most devs even indies. I think all 3 console makers have done well with helping indies out lately to an extent. The variety started coming back during ps4 Era and now it's full blown. I just picked up eiyuden 100 heroes and man this sh takes me back. An actual jrpg releasing these day. I thought it was the end after only like 10 of them released for ps3 and 360(not literally but it was slim pickings)
we had a few hits this year alreadyz so im not sure where this "gaming is in trouble" comes from lol
and theres still alot more to come
You surely don't need a titan to future proof it for a while to say the least.
I love reading about this stuff. PS4 will come first for me but I can't wait till I can afford to build my first gaming PC.
Core-i7 3980x (soon to be out), cryogen cooled quad-sli titan, 64 GB Corsair RAM and 2 X 1.5TB SSD - you're sorted for the next 5 (maybe 10) years at least.
I love how people come out with "you can build a midrange PC that's more powerful than consoles for $500 to $700 (minus things like a monitor, an OS, and basic accessories)" as if people should be happy with simply being more powerful than consoles but not having anything near what PCs can actually do. As if being more powerful than consoles is the only goal anyone wanting to get into PC gaming should have first and foremost.
One thing I've learned is that there is no future proofing. You are better off buying off for what performance you need today then what you will in 3 year. Because in 3 year the cost will be spitted in 5-6 of what it would of costed you.
Any Mid range will outdo what next gen will do, no magic involved here that's plain and simple. That's why we see gt 8800 multiplat games better then the ps3/360 at a better framerate and resolution.
