"The PlayStation 4 is a hugely popular console for next-gen gamers, although it's missing a crucial feature that the Xbox One offers - the ability to play the console via a PC. Sony has Remote Play for PS Vita users, but nothing for PC users. One developer took it into his own hands and after a year of development, Remote PC Play has been launched and lets users play their PS4 via their PCs. Here, we discuss the software and show you how to set it up." By Lewis Painter
A new test version of Windows 10 also includes new File Explorer changes.
Most PC gamers right now do not have HDR monitors. "as long as you have a compatible HDR monitor" I'm using a 240hz Alienware 1080p GSYNC panel, (AW2518H) while I love it and love the high FPS in games, I'm not buying a new lcd just yet. So for now I just use reshade in all the games I play and enable "fake HDR" 😁 It's pretty good to, not real HDR but close enough for me. 👍
If someone doesnt have an HDR PC monitor, can't they use a HDR supported tv? Most PC cards support HDMI out so I would think that could be one option. It might not have the uber high refresh but I'm sure it could work.
Yeah the HDR TV will work over HDMI. I'm using displayport myself but if your just using that connection you can just use a displayport to hdmi adapter since displayport carries audio just like HDMI.
"Most PC gamers right now do not have HDR monitors."
Your point? Nothing wrong with Microsoft impementing this. Once you do get a HDR monitor in the future I'm sure you'll be moaning if Microsoft didn't have any support for it on Windows. They're not going to postpone it because XxINFERNUSxX doesn't have the right monitor yet.
This is great news. I'm about to invest in a new HDMI 2.1 and Display port 2.0 monitor this year I'm looking at you Asus PG32UQ . Perfect timing 👌
This is good news I hate having to enable HDR manually everytime I play an HDR enabled game. Some games already turn it on automatically but they are very few and far between (Destiny 2 is actually the only one I know of 😅).
Now that I've had some time to play with the PS5 DualSense on PC with Steam and DS4Windows, it's time to decide which is best for PC gaming.
My issue is that on steam you can modify on a game by game bases as some nave native support and DS4Windows you'd have to turn on and off and the issue with what I'm saying. If it has native support and you use the Steam API or DS4W it'll give you Xbox control prompts so it's more convenient to just run the steam API. Generally games outside of steam make sure to have support unless old. I have both and will only use DS4W if I absolutely have to. It's good but the game by game bases on steam is so much more ideal. Example Games with DS4 native support will allow trackpad support like Ni no Kuni using the track pad. But with DS or Steam activated it puts the trackpad to the share button. So the manual ability to disable it anytime that game starts makes it where that game operates correctly every time
I just use my 360 controller for 3rd person games, like GTA. All FPS games keyboard/mouse. No need for me to spend 70$ on a controller. Plus I like it to just work without any drivers just plug & play like the 360 controller.
A growing number of users say Game Mode is causing performance issues in games.
Wow i just turned off my game mode a few days ago just because.. and i felt sloght performance getting better but i thought maybe it was just me.. and now i read this
Right , I read this about a week ago and immediately changed it even with a nvidia gpu my fallout 4 with 3d vision stopped hitching almost entirely
Hmm I've been getting microstuttering in games on my relatively new Ryzen 5 3600. But it always goes away once I restart my PC. Very strange. But I think I already have game mode turned off.
Not sure if you can turn it off.
I
Have to go into task manager and fight it to get it stop running.
Last week I heard of that while trying to figure out audio stuttering on a rd 5700. There seems to be a lot of people having audio crackle and go in and out on amd. It seems like there is an audio conflict with two sources trying to control, I don't know.
I've been diving into the PC gaming side of things head first since last summer and I have a good grasp of it and I'm comfortable with it all now
But what you've just said is exactly why there'll always be a space for home consoles in the gaming market 😂
True, there can be enough problems to make one think it's not worth it. But overall since the ps360 days playing in HD or even 4k at 60 fps vs the muck of 720p under 30fps, non vsync with awful tearing it makes you figure out the pc. Then when you get steam sales over the years it's really nice. But there is a small percentage of pc horror stories that won't happen on console.
Did this a year back and apart from less performance hiccups I also got less sound glitches. W10 Game mode is not a very beneficial feature for me.
The great thing about Sony officially bringing Remote Play functionality to PC and Mac is that you'll soon be able to stream PS4 content from most desktops and laptops from anywhere in the world.
The Xbox One's streaming functionality in comparison is only limited to a home network and needing Windows 10 installed to do so.
I use my vita :P
Please don't kill me. I'm rare D:
Nice tuto, I will test this weekend, thx :)
I don't get how it's the same as Vita's "remote" play though, it's not like you can be anywhere you want like with the Vita, you have to be sat at your PC, which is most likely in the same room or another room in the house.
Not exactly as relaxing as laying in bed with a Vita, or during a commute.
