ps5 keeps up with the best on this one. GOT:2 is going to be reeeedicolous

Cacabunga21d ago

To me RDR2 still is the most detailed game ever made.. everything is better in that game.

Babadook721d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Disagree. TLoU Pt2 was more detailed, at least when compared on console hardware.

StormSnooper20d ago

TLOU2 was head and shoulders above. But I’m not sure why we are even comparing these top notch games when they all offered us a level of excellence not common in gaming.

Babadook720d ago

@Cacabunga

Which console is RDR2 running on in your link? It doesn't actually say. Also TLoU Pt2 is visually more detailed even in that video.

StormSnooper15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

@Cacabunga
TLOU2 seems the overall more detailed game. Also need to consider the bigger variety of items(in game assets), enemy types, and mechanics utilized in TLOU2 makes it all the more difficult to achieve. That’s not a knock on the gorgeous RDR2.

RDR2 has much more simulation than TLOU II and is a much bigger and dynamic world than TLOU II.
CP2077 also looks ridiculous with a big simulated world.
Alan Wake II is another recent looker with incredible graphics and detail.

Sonic188121d ago

This is my first time ever playing this game and I'm enjoying the PC version

Cacabunga21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Amazing gameplay mechanics and soundtrack

Sonic188121d ago

Absolutely. I can't believe I missed out on this 🤔

VariantAEC20d ago

Sorry that you did miss out on it. Console gamers were eating well on the PS4 and on PS5. At least you get to experience some of these games now.

DustMan21d ago

People even get downvotes for saying they play on PC. LOL. Same boat as you man. It's fantastic on PC.

Gamingsince198121d ago

They have 1 disagree in 6h ..........yeah all those disagrees 🙃

Nittdarko21d ago

As a PC gamer, the difference is negligible for a $2500+ machine vs a $500 PS5 and considering its part of PS+ the $70 price tag is crazy

Einhander197221d ago

So what you're actually saying is that the PS5 and PS+ are a great value, right?

Nittdarko20d ago

Yea I should have clarified that I have both and PS+ is really great value when most of these games run at 4k60fps, It was more a comment on "if you've already played it, should I bother with the PC version" and the answer is clearly no

VincentVanBro21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

its $60 on PC and runs great on a $300 gpu (a $700 PC runs it perfectly w/ higher settings than PS5 and still 4k 60fps), no need for something even close to $2500 for this one. Also, this isn't the game to measure the difference between $2500 pc and ps5, its an updated ps4 game. Try Cyberpunk 2077 w/ path tracing or Alan Wake 2 to see the real difference.

Babadook721d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Where do you get such a PC for $700?

As for Cyberpunk I'd say that was poorly optimized for console hardware.

Number1TailzFan20d ago

Exactly, even DF showed Alan Wake 2 running on a 3080 with a 2x performance increase (over 100FPS) vs a PS5 at similar settings.

just_looken20d ago

You are 100% right 5yr old pc can easily match the god tier ps5 console everyone jerks off too.

The game also has no intrusive drm runs great on pc another dam good port job.

andy8521d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Now I've gotten into PC gaming I've noticed it is. The difference between ultra and console settings is something you'd only really notice much side by side. Certainly not when in full flow playing. (Apart from proper RT games) The only proper advantage is the frame rate, which when you go above 60 its very negligible anyway.

DustMan21d ago

Exactly. I've come to notice the difference between Ultra/High, and even medium settings sometimes can be hard to notice unless you're deliberately looking for the differences as well. A lot of folks seem to think you need a $2000 GPU to enjoy pc gaming when a midrange card that costs similar to a new console can perform exceptionally well for years.

VincentVanBro21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Depends on the game. Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, Helldivers 2, and many others are substantially better on PC if you have the computer to run them at max settings.

andy8520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Bought BG3 again on my Laptop because I loved it that much, honestly it's barely different. Obviously higher frame rates. But a CRPG is certainly not something you need over 60 on. CP2077 I'd agree because the full RT and PT on that is awesome. And AW2 on console is stunning anyway. Like I said it's mostly about frame rates not how the game actually looks

Number1TailzFan20d ago

60 -> 90+ FPS is not a negligible difference, many people can see and feel the extra smoothness, but each to their own.

andy8520d ago

True everyone's different but it certainly is to me. There's only a small difference visually to me at 144. Every single day if the week I'd be pushing the settings to max to play at 60 locked rather than drop fidelity for over 60 fps.

just_looken20d ago

Sorry but native 4k 120hz on a 58ich screen maxed out no dlls/fsr shit is way better than a glorified tablet aka ps5 using every upscale crap tech out there.

andy8520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I was with you tbh until you said glorified tablet. That tablet produces stunning games for it's price. Forbidden West Burning Shores is still the best looking game I've ever played. Native 4K doesn't suddenly make a game worlds above anything. It's a massive waste of resources. I play in 1440 on my monitor and it looks just as good as my TV with the screen size.

ooquis20d ago

@vincentvanbro Serious question, why are all pc gamers pretending that every PC gamer owns a high-end rig? Literally all my friends and family on PC still game at 1080p.

Shiore2u20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

You do not need a $2500 machine to run this PS4 game originally made around ancient hardware. It's minimum requirement is a freaking GTX 960, by january next year that'll be a ten year old gpu. It's mind boggling just how purposefully out of touch a lot of people on this site are in terms of tech, like a mid 2000s time warp.

Nittdarko20d ago

Yea, you run this at 4k60 like the PS5 on a GTX 960 and let me know how that goes
My comment clearly didnt say "whats the minimum to run this" it was the option of the same fidelity of PS5 to PC ratio having already played the PS5 version and is it worth playing this one, the answer is no the difference is negligible

you aint getting 4k60 with anything less than a RTX 4070 or 3080 which is $1000+ straight away depending on where you live, so I was correct

Shiore2u20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

@Nittdarko
I mentioned 960 for the sake of range in how low the hardware can go in regards to this particular game, of course you're not going to get 4K60, the PS4 barely managed 1080p with less. You're the one making it seem like you need thousands of dollars to run a PS4 game originally built on hardware already outdated by it's launch. The fidelity comparison between either makes zero difference as this game is not stressing either most modern or even previous gpu series configurations.

Shiore2u20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

@Nittdarko
Also the 3080 is by no means a $1000+ card it's not 2021 anymore, try less than half that. You could even go as far as a 3060ti and maintain a locked 4K60 with say a Ryzen 5 3600.

DustMan21d ago

This was a game released on pretty old PS4 hardware. I'd hope it'd come close to PC parity. I waited for the PC port before playing it on PS+ on the ps4 and I'm glad. This game may be the most optimized out of the box day one pc release I've played in a long time. So happy Sony is bringing their top quality games to PC. Even if some time later.

jeromeface21d ago

clearly a port of the ps5 version (directors cut)

DustMan21d ago

Sorry. I don't pay attention to the PS5, only console of theirs I've decided to skip. Not for any particular reason. Just between the PC, and old ps4 pro I can't validate getting one. Even better that the PS5 version runs perfectly (for me) out of the box without waiting for patches. Still, the system requirements are quite low, and that's what made me assume. Just very well optimized then. Must have learned a lesson from the terrible state The Last of Us launched on PC.

anast21d ago

It's crazy how well the PS5 runs compared to systems that cost 4xs more.

VincentVanBro21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

This game is effortless for even a cheap PC to run though. 4060 ti runs the game max settings in 4k at roughly 60 fps and is only $300 on sale, processor and everything you're talking no more than $600-$700, so definitely not even close to 4x cost. A pc that is 4x the cost of PS5 will run Cyberpunk 2077 path tracing and Alan Wake 2 path tracing at over 100 fps, try doing that on PS5. Another example is how awful the Helldivers 2 PS5 version looks compared to max settings on a good PC. I think you are overestimating the cost of the PC equivalent of a PS5.

anast21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Building a PC that will run 4k at ultra settings at 60fps for $700 is a myth. It cost about $1600 if the price is right. If not, it will be another $400 on that.

The PC they used for this is top-shelf.

purple10121d ago

it is a ps4 game though, directors cut just added improved lighting and 60fps for ps5,

when got:2 comes out and runs still efortlessly on ps5, we will see the value perhaps;

VariantAEC20d ago

Lemme get this straight... $300 just for the CPU. And $400 for the OS ($99), motherboard ($109), case ($74), SSD ($84), RAM ($64), and GPU ($-30? Um...) combined (excluding the price of a the game, and human interface devices like TV/monitor, KB/M, and mic/speakers). Yeah, I mean if you make a gaming PC with no GPU and even cheaper components than I listed the prices for, it could come in at $700. Otherwise it will cost at least $1,100 to run modern games including PS4 games updated for PS5 like Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut.

DustMan20d ago

lol, this can run on a potato just about. No need to disseminate that idea you need an uber PC to game on a pc. Far from in fact. People that spend that much on their PC like to brag that they got the latest tech. I've got a "19-1400k, 4090, and 64gigs of ram, and everything runs perfect for me you console peasants". Of course everything should, at least one would hope. These are a vocal minority of PC players that like to bust the bank for all the latest gear, and brag about it. You don't see nearly as many people bragging about their systems built around a 4060, or any other mid range cards. We aren't all building machines that cost $2000 +.

anast19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

"lol, this can run on a potato just about."

Follow the argument. Meaning, read the argument. People game on mobile. The argument is doing this on ultra settings as the poster stated.

Link up that potato that can run this game at the specs sated in the argument and I will change my mind. I bet you can't.

anast19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

"Lemme get this straight... $300 just for the CPU. And $400 for the OS ($99), motherboard ($109), case ($74), SSD ($84), RAM ($64), and GPU ($-30? Um...)"

Still not running a PS5 game at 4k 60fps ultra settings. This is the argument after all.

VariantAEC18d ago

I know... I wrote that around $1,100 is what it will cost just to run PS4 and PS5 games on a PC today. Not what was needed to run them at 4K60 at max settings.

Also (and this is a general question not aimed at you), who downvoted me but was too cowardly to rebuke my arguments in the same thread? Oh right, PC gamers.

anast18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

@Variant

Don't worry about the downvotes. Internet forums aren't that personal. The argument was about max settings.

At any rate, it's still more than 1k to run PS5 stuff, PS4 stuff might be a bit less.

DustMan19d ago

@VariantAEC, PC's also happen to do a lot more than just play video games...hence the premium in price. Can't exactly use a PS5 to do anything other than what it's designed for. A console is a built around a midrange (even low range if your Nintendo) GPU with relatively cheap CPU's that will make just enough use of the hardware. Glad sony upgraded their storage speed. I will admit that on some games loading is pretty impressive.

VariantAEC18d ago

My cellphone does a lot more than my PC. And just so you know this, my PC is still more capable as far as computational capabilities are concerned when compared to my cellphone, yet the first statement is also 100% verified fact. There is effectively nothing my 2017 and most RTX 2000 series equipped PCs can do that my phone can not. 8K60 HDR video playback or encoding? Yep. Hi-res audio with multi-channel support? Supported (through a horribly convoluted DAC setup but still there). HW RT? You guessed it, my phone has that built-in (yes it does and it runs the benchmarks unlike my most recent laptop which is rocking GTX HW). My laptop despite being made in 2017 can crunch more numbers in shorter timeframes that my phone, obviously, but there's not a single general task my phone can't do that my PC can. I can run complex simulations so long as they don't take up too much RAM and I can render offline scenes using RT on my phone too. As far as productivity. My PC can not come to work with me. My phone does and it actually has to at this point (which kind of odd). My phone has a higher resolution display is water resistant and dust proof has a 120hz display with HDR capabilities and allows direct drawing on the screen as well as K/M support with power and screen mirroring all at once! My phone can literally be a PC if I just connect it to a display and I'm not talking about using desktop features of some Android vendors... I'm saying plain old HDMI-out screen mirroring plus m/kb makes my phone a PC. My current phone is way more powerful than my 2009 era laptop and runs the same apps and even some of the same exact PC games better than my 2009 PC, too! Email, web browsing, text editing, spreadsheets, presentations all possible to make and share on the device. PCs are withering as far as productivity is concerned. They will not likely go away in the next 30 years, but the only reason to buy one is for heavy media editing, for running massive simulations and AAA current gen gaming. You can literally do ALL other productivity and entertainment tasks on a decent phone half as powerful as the one I have today.

DustMan17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

@VarianAEC
How much did your phone cost compared to a mid range GPU when you bought it? What phone you got? I'm sure if it's comparable to a 2080 it wasn't too cheap.

Plus we were talking PS5 vs PC. Can't lug you're PS5 around anymore than a PC.

Playing this at a locked 175 fps on an OLED ultra wide at max settings is truly awe inspiring. A great way to replay this classic.

Psychonaut8516d ago

Sweet! Glad to see it make the jump. Hopefully the PSN requirement doesn’t put too many people off. I think it’s only if you plan to play the Legends mode. It’s bullshit, but at least you can access the main game without making a PSN profile if that bothers you. I know on PC everyone’s sick of everyone trying to push their own launchers and shit.

Deeeeznuuuts16d ago

It's really not that big of a deal, PC players just love to complain, my friend has quite a few launches and never once complained, really no issues at all 😂😂😂 28514;

Goodguy0116d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Indeed. It's for the trophies and online. I just hope Sony doesn't require ps plus subscription at some point for their online games. PC gamers have dealt with 3rd party launchers forever, just a bunch of silly complaints, nothing different.

just_looken15d ago

@dee

Right how dare those 180 countries that had this game listed a month ago but no longer do complain about a forced new regulation that is blocking the sale of the game even in japan.

Then you got the fact many countries need a goverment id to check if your legally a adult.

I have a psn account that is not linked to my steam account as having any form of vpn/antivirus and even something like discord can break there psn TOS. If your psn account gets banned via pc bs then your entire consoles online are bricked as do too them needing real information we all only have one account now.

FinalFantasyFanatic15d ago

I don't mind having a few launchers, just don't make me log into it all the time, it's astounding that some developers still persist with having their own launchers.

just_looken15d ago

Its a greed deal

Alot of them wanted to leave steam so they would not pay that 30% charge but then there overall number of sales dropped opps so now there back but with there launcher as a leach because all these games have attached bullshit like ubi points or capcom rewards/stat tracking even the activation launcher that needs to be a thing for cheaters/stat track i think even trophies to a extent.

Just be glad we do not have a sony launcher as it would no doubt be fighting rockstar for most unsecured worst launcher on pc.

anast16d ago

So we are lovin' PSN now? How fickle the herd is.

Yeah, all 10 people that can actually afford a decent PC isn't much. This is why they are drip feeding PC gamers because they'll eat up 10 year old games like they're new, and that's all 10 of them. Consoles gamers already wore that shoe, you all are getting leftovers.

Your turn

Number1TailzFan16d ago

@ anast uhh, looks like the video is showing last gen (soon to be 2 gen old) GPUs running it pretty well to me? I mean if you can't keep your PC decently current then that's hardly the devs fault now is it?

Shiore2u15d ago

@anast

You really need to stop trying so hard, it's getting downright embarrassing. Brand loyalty is a stupid endeavor, accept it, learn from it and move on.

FinalFantasyFanatic15d ago

@anast,
A 7-year-old GPU can trade blows with a PS5 in performance, I don't think it's going to be that hard to match/beat the PS5, especially if you look at the second hand market for parts.

"also available via the Epic Games Store"

I'm pretty sure Epic Games Store is available in over 190 countries and 30 territories. So anyone that said that this game was not available in them was just lying.

I'm so shocked by games journalists and fauxragers lying. Really shocked. I do pity them though. I can't imagine going through life with such anger... at everything.

bunt-custardly17d ago

Hehe, you do know how much PC players whine about having multiple store platforms when really all they want is Steam to run a monopoly. Thank ye heavens for Gog and Epic.

Giblet_Head16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

When Steam is one of the very few actually trying with it's feature set it's a hard sell to get people to want something on a storefront that could care less about improving it's service. GoG is another exception, but Epic, which is still missing many features that have been on Steam for years like every other publisher just half-ass it, so they've earned and continue to maintain their poor reception and presumably act confused come every quarterly report for failure to understand the market they're in. Who really wants to invest in something that actively instills little faith?

bunt-custardly16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Interesting answer from co-pilot when asked what are the differences between EGS and Steam.

Copilot
The Epic Game Store (EGS) and Steam are both digital distribution platforms for PC games, but they have some key differences:

Game Selection: Steam has a larger selection of games, including both indie and AAA titles, and has been established longer, since 20031. EGS, while newer, offers a curated selection of games, including timed exclusives and titles not available on other platforms1.

Revenue Split: EGS offers a more favorable revenue split for developers, taking only a 12% cut compared to Steam’s 20-30%, which can be a big draw for game publishers1.

Free Games: EGS is known for its regular giveaways of free games, which has been a major feature since its launch in December 20181. Steam also offers free games, but less frequently1.

User Interface: Steam provides a more feature-rich experience with user reviews, community discussions, game streaming, and non-gaming software. EGS has a more streamlined interface, focusing on a simpler user experience1.

Social Features: Both platforms offer social features like friends lists and chat functionality, but Steam’s community features are more extensive, including groups, forums, and user profiles1.

Exclusivity: EGS has secured exclusive deals for certain games, making them available only on their platform for a limited time before they can be purchased elsewhere1.

These are some of the main differences that set the two stores apart. Each platform has its own strengths and caters to different preferences and needs.

Co-Pilot forgot to mention: Both offer software, but Steam is very much more in-tune with VR with its Steam VR integration.

Giblet_Head15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

@bunt-custardly
I wouldn't take AI as gospel, especially a corporate one that ends most every answer with meaningless neutral ambiguity. You're better off actually talking to humans that use either and have something to lose, be it time, energy or financial investment. Personal experiences AI can't relate to.
