It's often been said that both next-gen consoles are effectively based on mid-range PC technology, and as our recent tests indicate, matching or even exceeding current Xbox One or PS4 performance with modest PC components doesn't seem to be too difficult. But can we go one better? Can we build a PC that provides a quantifiably better, truly transformative experience? And can we do it at with a competitive budget?
A detailed guide that covers all the weapons in Helldivers 2, definitive tier list that details how effective they are.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.
If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.
The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece
They based most of the article on a PC game(BF4) that was a quick port. The PS4 may not be that powerful, but I do think that the PS4 is more powerful than a 500£ PC.
Great article. The one thing that wonders me is the how good the power supply is?
Also as suggested in the comments it would be wisely to go with the more powerful FX8320 as it's only about £25 more.
Personally I would get better parts.
Here's a tip to anyone interested in building a gaming PC: Don't build your PCs to match console pricing. Console hardware is heavily subsidized by the main manufacturer (MS or Sony), because their money is made on the software side. A mid to high range PC with an i5k processor and a GTX 770 or R9 280x can be built for around $900 and will have A LOT more processing power than both new consoles, so 1080p and 60 FPS will be the norm rather than the exception.
It's fun to build a decent PC that matches up to current consoles but it's not practical for the long run.
I really like my 1680x1050 monitor, even though it's fairly old now. I think I'll try to buy another 16:10 monitor when I replace it. The ratio is more pleasing to me
Remember no backward compatibility on the new consoles means that PC has far more selection of games.
