Paul Izod discussed the misconceptions around PC gaming and next gen for Zero1gaming.com
PSLS writes: I have traveled across the country using the Razer Kishi Ultra in airports and hotels for both PlayStation Remote Play and mobile gaming in general, and I am thoroughly impressed.
Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.
Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.
But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?
Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.
Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...
I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey
Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.
Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol
Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.
Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).
So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.
Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.
More like Mid range pc is already next gen. 1080p+, 60fps, dx11 effects
Will Watch Dogs PC look better than Far Cry 3 PC? How so? Don't use console gens to define PC gaming
Using this guys logic, all cross gen games can't be next gen , look at the footage of Watch Dogs and tell me it's not next gen
Laughing at this article...
No really, I get the author..but PC tech is already there.
What the hell is author talking about?! PC's have ALWAYS been at the bleeding edge. He clearly needs another line of work. Even my Alienware MX18 as outdated as it is, can play all games at 1900 x 1600 with blazing detail.
Exactly the guy is confusing what software makers are focusing on and somehow saying that since developers have been hanging onto last generation consoles, he makes a curious attempt to denigrate PC's.
Since the focus isn't on PC's....but consoles.
That the while the graphics are better....they can still be played on lesser systems.
So on and so forth.
This author is very weird. It's like he's some sort of gaming fascist hardline authoritarian. None of PC's advantages matter, and its all about perception and strangling the competition.
This guy must see 'exclusives' as a mark of pride for a console. Probably likes timed DLC and all sorts of other crap too.
He somehow thinks there needs to be some huge leap. He obviously hasn't been viewing the problems with R&D the last decade. You won't get a leap like he suggests is needed (and somehow even though PC's are the only thing constantly progressing and will be 8-9x more powerful than a PS4 he bags on PC's and assumes it wrongly won't affect consoles) when tech has slowed pretty significantly over the past decade.
Ten years ago (hell longer really) you could buy a 3.6 Ghz processor. They thought the Pentium IV would take them to 10 GHZ. Here we are now in 2013 and well computers are still at or just over 3.6 Ghz. They can be overclocked a bit, but it just shows you the improvements are much harder to achieve when you have to find improvements elsewhere. While multiple cores was a great way to improve some aspects of a PC, it isn't raw power.
GPU's have found more ways around these problems, but it has constrained them as well.
Overall though this article is funny because he doesn't understand that now developers will start using the PC's power, and have much more at their disposal. You don't blame PC gaming for corporate decisions to move slowly and relying on the console teet too much. Because some aren't.
Unreal 4 engine is coming out, and the PS4 version is nice but not nearly the same as the PC version.
