Paul Izod discussed the misconceptions around PC gaming and next gen for Zero1gaming.com
Release date and expected launch time for when the Fallout 4 next-gen update will come out along with how to download.
This is a huge release being treated like a patch update but really it’s a monster in disguise…Bethesda being Bethesda, no actual release times or pre load available or file size info, sigh. All that said, clearing space on the SSD and putting the PS5 in rest mode while at work so I can play later, fully expecting snail download speeds as millions bang on their servers.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I loved that New Star GP ended up being nothing like what I was expecting from it. I thought I was going to get a simple and straightforward love letter to Virtua Racing, only for it to be something more akin to the best F1 racing games from the mid to late 90s, with a perfect blend of accessible physics and simulation elements. New Star GP is adorably retro in its visuals and vibes, but it’s got some surprising amount of depth and an interesting career mode. A little hidden gem in the racing scene, without a doubt."
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 Even my Alienware MX18 as outdated as it is, can play all games at 1900 x 1600 with blazing detail.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.
