"PC gamers across the globe have been slamming console gamers for years on almost all things gaming, from the superior hardware to the massive Steam sales console gamers have heard it all. Finally however, the tide might just turn into a more even running than it has been these past few years. To everyone’s surprise, the PlayStation 4 has had mouse and keyboard support since launch albeit with just a handful of apps to support the feature. Xbox One is also getting the feature in the coming months with Windows 10 support, which could mean console gamers will finally be able to use the superior controls that the mouse and keyboard bring. However, there are a few problems with the option of M and K, that are yet to be resolved. In this article I am going to go through a few concerns that I have with the support of these new controls, and finally explain why Mouse and Keyboard gaming have an almost zero percent chance of catching on with console gamers."
With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?
Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.
Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.
It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.
The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n
This is just another ridiculous double standard article.
It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.
"Driver was a technical achievement for PS1, a pioneer in cinematic gaming, and an often brutal challenge - TechStomper asks if its brand of 70s car chase antics still holds up."
Sadly youd be hard pressed to find any driving game with better physics these days. But the draw distance really kills it for me
Gran Turismo for PlayStation launched a sub-genre and revolutionised console racing - TechStomper asks is it still worth playing in 2024.
I'm not big into sim racing, but I got sucked into the hype for this one from magazines back then. I just played arcade mode and that was enough for me to feel like I got my money's worth.
Yeah, it's definitely worth playing today. GT 2 has a few interesting fan made graphical mods when played on an emulator as well.
Cars back then had much more personality then those we see today. Modern cars all about the led lights and the tablet size screens and they all seem alike, back then they could be simpler in design but had tons more personality.
That Corvette Stingray to this day is one of the most ferocious whips ever driven. Overpowered against other cars yes. But to drive it and be that close to losing control, but being in command around those curves, just can't be duplicated.
HiFi mode is also something I miss. There should be a mode in today's GT where it's Mano o Mano and the detail and resolution jump full throttle. In today's games, Max Ray Tracing and lighting and textures to make it look even more real..
Not according to Former Playstation president Jim Ryan for he told Time that he doesn't see why anyone would play old games given the advancements in fidelity achieved today.

*If mouse and keyboard support comes along on a game such as Call of Duty or Halo, then the controller users can kiss any chance they had at winning goodbye.
Sorry no it wont.You're only as good as your skill as someone who uses XIM4 on PS4.I can tell you i've never felt like i've had an advantage over Controller users especially when they have AA on.
For those thinking using K/B&M with AA will make it cheating.No it wont the Aim assist hinders you and throws your aiming off.
No, mouse and keyboard support is nothing new on consoles. PS3 has it and it's been supported on PS4 since day one.
Short answer: NO! Mouse and Keyboard will never replace controllers on consoles. One of the main reasons people game on consoles, is to get away from M/Kb.
Nah I can't use a mouse and keyboard while I'm gaming on my bed, but I can use a controller while sitting at my desk
Interesting :)
