Recently Phil was asked about Titanfall 2 rendering at nearly 6k to which he responded with this statement.
The Razer Iskur V2 is a high quality, premium gaming chair that your back will thank you for.
AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.
In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.
The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.
Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.
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.
Money is one thing security is another but again millions have 0 knowledge past 2020.
Epic store for years struggled with a shopping cart/account theft/credit card theft
Rockstar launcher/store to this day over 5 years later still has horrific user interface security flaws lost account's and stolen CC
Then you got that activision need phone number oh we lost it launcher
The crown jewel is the ea launcher/store ea app 3 yrs old still has hundreds of threads were people lost games/accounts/game access or just straight up crashes.
Edit" Oh ubi launcher were you buy a game that may or may not be there again or work and the launcher 5yrs old still has no 4K support if you launch it on a 4k screen there is a high chance it will just crash.
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
It literally says in the OP that PC gamers don't like multiple launchers lol. It even mentions Steam being the go to for gamers
Title: "PlayStation Doesn't Need a Dedicated PC Store Launcher"
N4G: "Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming"
When you don't even read the headline...
I read it and had a brain fart. As read the title then this "With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?"
So I hold my hands up on that mistake. Rest of my comment still stands.
Steam and GOG are highly preferred because of the rich feature set. Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Epic etc have all set a precedent over the years for customers to instinctively expect individual publisher launchers to be so extremely half-assed that the majority simply don't want to bother dealing with what is almost an inevitable disappointment by comparison to Steam or GOG. Those publishers and their inaction or general disinterest to improve have effectively ruined any future adoption to be taken seriously.
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.
Yep, huge double standard look at the tortured reaction to the ps5pro, websites hyperventilating like Sony is forcing people to buy it.
Wait my xbox from 2004 has avengers gaas on it? wow your so smart
m$ Gaas started with the other companies like sony
Gamepass yes they are deep into that but its still a huge money saver sense you do not own your games then get a service like that.
Now there pc xbox launcher that is trash for years now
So more 6k games?
"This quote will come back to haunt me, I’m sure"
He's probably right about that. :P
6k Doesn't matter or 4K right now and i'll be honest I own two 4k monitors but I don't want just resolution bumps I want more graphics and then framerate boost then some AA. Only thing that interest me is I think he Xx could get a nice mid jump in multiplatform games with graphics. Though I think Sony and Microsoft in a few years will be bringing out beast and I hope they do, I don't care to pay 600USD if I get the best at that time and they eat some of the cost, instead of buying double.
Lord Phil knows hes created a monster. Give devs the best platform and best hardware great stuff happens.
Bring on da X the reclamation has begun.
The only problem I have with X1X is it's not hooked up to my TV right now. My PC is, but it's nothing near what X1X is.
