There are lots of things PS5 is going to do better than PC -- here's a few of them

Games tied to services like Steam is a given on PC these days, i got used to it a while back. Optimisation is not always worth mentioning, next gen Nvidia 3060 GPU's are pretty much guaranteed to be a bit quicker than the graphics power of PS5, there was an article floating around stating that . Anyone with a 3070 will be comfortably ahead even if PS5 has better optimisation. https://www.pcgamer.com/how...

There's one thing the article fails to mention, game cost is usually higher on console releases, plus you still have to pay for online membership. The good thing about consoles though is that cost is spread at least with the online subscription,
and yes you can resell the games and the exclusives etc..

Those that invest in a decent PC will get better performance, like buying into a xx70 card will give noticeably better frame rates. It is going to cost a bit, but IMO the perf increase is worth it if you want over 60fps in demanding games. Buttery smooth 90-100+fps is hard to turn away from. I can see the value in console gaming though for sure.

No doubt we will see some impressive looking games for the PS5 as the developers tend to make good use of the hardware being a closed system.

why even mention the next gen GPU's, you think the PS5 is going to rival a 2080/2080ti in terms of output? In a $500 machine? My 1080ti still pushes plenty of games at high framerates / resolutions.

anonymousfan1692d ago

I think the idea with next gen is that a theoretical 3060 would be as powerful as a 2070 and likewise 3070 and 2080 meanwhile bringing prices down vs current gen cards making them more affordable... Given consoles are always cheaper.

Neonridr1692d ago

@anonymousfan - fair enough, but in terms of raw performance I'd say a console GPU is going to be hard pressed to match even the 2-series cards at the price they are selling them for. We shall see, I'm still excited for the PS5 and will be picking one up day one, so I am hopeful for as much power as the console can squeeze into it, but I am also going to keep my expectations in check for a $500 machine vs video cards that cost $1000+

Neonridr1692d ago

@johnmeta - I would be very surprised if it matched a 2080. But regardless of the talent Sony has, that wasn't my point. I have no doubt that next gen games are going to look gorgeous on the system.

Not much relevance to what you're saying it's about what it does better. Not a split on both. It being unified and game optimization are the big keys imo. I have a gtx 1080 and a 8700k. Some pc ports are so bad it gets rivaled by my ps4 pro. Sometimes the PS4 just is optimized and pc they didn't try, like the atelier arland trilogy 1 of the 4 games can hit 4k. The others have problems getting past 720p lol. The switch version likely runs smoother its sad how bad pc optimization can be sometimes. I converted to a pc gamer mainly this console Gen and ps4/switch are my backups. Sometimes it's rough hearing some games are a joke on pc

starchild1692d ago

Aside from the games you mentioned, which games are you having trouble with on PC? I've played a lot of games on my PC and I literally have not come across one that didn't look and run better on my PC than on my PS4 Pro. Honestly, I'm more annoyed with how many games stutter or have image quality issues on consoles.

Nevertheless, I still love my PS4 Pro. The exclusives are fantastic and it does a lot right for the price.

jukins1693d ago

Slightly more expensive games and memberships fees spread out over time compared to the initial investment of a comparable pc is still more attractive to most consumers.

Besides even the newer pc games arent that much cheaper than console counterparts. And let's not forget how depending on your part selection you could have a barely playable game and have to wait weeks months or even years for a game to become playable on PC.

NarutoFox1693d ago (Edited 1693d ago )

I totally agree with you. PC isn't a closed system

MADGameR1692d ago

How many times are we going to talk about this power Bullsh**? It doesn't MATTER if PC has better performance, the PS5 will have performance AND the best AAA exclusives which make PS5 the best place to play. If the PS5 is hitting 4k 60FPS on games, PC is useless.

starchild1692d ago

PS5 won't be hitting that target in most games, be realistic. And exclusives can be great games, but there aren't very many of them. The overall library of games on PC can't be beat, in my opinion. You get all the multiplatform games, PC exclusives, Microsoft exclusives, and even some games the PC shares with Playstation consoles. All of those games combined are not matched by the library on any other platform. And graphics and performance do matter. Not to mention mods, customization and more freedom in general.

Skuletor1692d ago

None of the games I buy from GOG are tied to a service like Steam but the option to tie it to GOG Galaxy is there.

Places like Humblebundle also sometimes have drm free games, like when I bought Hollow Knight and got a Steam key and a drm free download with it

skiggy341692d ago

I'm a pc gamer and console gamer and I reading your post scratching my head wondering where you are getting these cheaper game prices? Sure you can go to G2A or whatever its called but I have been screwed on that site. Outside of that game prices seem about the same. For me I sometimes get frames in the 180s on GTA 5 but maybe I'm blind but I cant really see the difference past 60fps. I can see the difference between 30 and 60 but... Idk, I think some of the points he made were valid. Not having to use multiple gaming platforms like Steam etc etc is much nicer on console.

Skuletor1692d ago

Try isthereanydeal.com they list the prices of PC games from various authorized game key seller websites. None of that grey market bullshit like G2A. Fanatical, Greenmangmaing & Humblebundle are three of the stores I regularly buy cheaper game keys from myself

Profchaos1692d ago

Agreed with lost of your points but as of late pricing has been a weird one take bl3 for example retailers are trying to outdo each other and sell more copies as cheap as possible I've seen the console version go for $49 AUD but I'm looking for the PC version with the best price I've found being $60 AUD

It's as if most retailers know what sells and PC isn't that so we have to rely on digital outlets sales every other week lately to drop prices on recent titles

FanboysKiller1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

I'm a console gamer , even if I planned to build a system that barely beats the ps5 thats completely not me ,in order to surpass consoles experience with gaming PCs you would rather spend 2 to 3 grands or 1.6 grands like the most of us on a decent system that will last 3 to 4 years at least. PC elitists will sure find a buzzword to stigmatize next gen consoles like the famous "resolution box" but that does not mean the experience will be on par with entry to midrange level PCs.

ProjectVulcan1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

PC doesn't replace PlayStation, it replaces Xbox.

Microsoft's games are all ending up on PC, you're better off with a PS4 and a Pc right now to get the best versions of any games on those systems.

It'll only be the same for next console gen.

USMC_POLICE1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

They make pc sound like such a hassle or a pain in the behind. Pc has cheep games, mod support, emulation of all old games not just the ones PS and MS decide. The biggest issue for me is widescreen support. I have a PS4,switch,Xbox,PC. I have a 4K tv with HDR, where am I playing gears 5 and major 3rd party games? On PC, Playing in 3440x1440 is a major game changer even against HDR. I get it, not everyone can drop 2k on a rig and 1k on a monitor. But personally for me the ultrawide alone has me playing a lot on pc.

I buy the hardware at the end of its lifecycle. You get the hardware, and whatever exclusives, for dirt cheap.

@larry

Entirely subjective. While I can admit they're awesome games, God of War and Spiderman did nothing for me when I played. Uncharted 4 wasn't as good as 2 or 3. Killzone was the worst since the original.

I skipped PlayStation (and Xbox) this entire generation; and the only games I really want to play are the remaster of Last of Us, it's sequel; Bloodborne, and Horizon: Zero Dawn.

andibandit1693d ago

The "Value for money" is highly subjective. Really depends on if you use your PC for other things than gaming.

RabbitFly1693d ago

Well the point you are making is subjective, the point he is making is objective. Though perhaps not directly voiced as such.

It is an objective fact that the price of the components alone is more value for money on a console compared to a pc.

Now of course a pc can do lots of tasks a console never will. But like you said, that is a subjective argument.

Hungryalpaca1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

That entirely depends on what you value. If you value the highest experience of a game then it will be on the Pc.

Pretty sure the platform with a selection back to the 80s is of more value.

RabbitFly1691d ago

Well no. There is objectively a smaller mark up on the components in a console than in a pc.

So objectively you are getting more valuable components for your investment.

Subjective value is what matters to everyone, yes, but there is objectively a value to compare here as well.

InflectionPoint1692d ago

Wait..... not only can my PC run emulators for ps3 games, new xbox games, WiiU emulator with BoTW in 4k, play FPS better, run smoother and be upgradable.... it can do things other than gaming. Fascinating device, I can see how consoles could be jealous.

d3nworth11692d ago

Congrats! Your PC run games for consoles that came out 13 years ago. Oh wait the PS4 pro and Xbox 1x are also capable of running last gen games in 4K, better FPS and smoother. Yeah PC can do other things than gaming. Its not like you watch movies, youtube, live TV, news and sports on your consoles (some in VR) or listen to music and on your consoles or surf the web on your consoles. Thats sarcasm by the way. Consoles are jealous? No buddy thats just your delusion of grandeur.

MadLad1692d ago

@d3n

You're right. Xbox One X definitely does that … for a number of titles. PlayStation does this to a much smaller extent … at a premium cost!

Sophisticated_Chap1692d ago

@ D3n

It's great that PCs can run old games, especially since the PS4 (Pro) cant run games pre-2013.

BizarroUltraman1692d ago

Why would consoles be jealous, do they have feelings? You PC guys think you're the shit playing Sims and fighting orcs or some damn MMO or some Oregon Trail or Carmen San Diego hahahah don't make me laugh. You guys would be play dogshit if it weren't for consoles pushing the gaming. Go play another round of Football manager or your old ass Counterstrike at 240fps and brag about it! Console gamer will play something great not on PC.

Exactly. I actually make a lot of money using my PC lol

rainslacker1692d ago

While maybe's story is great, I couldn't believe how much I could make working from home until i saw the first check showing i make enough to buy a brand new Lamborghini, so naturally I came on here to tell everyone else how I did that so I'd have more competition, and demand for my job would go down, so I'd make more money.

:)

Notellin1692d ago

How much is a lot though?

rainslacker1692d ago (Edited 1692d ago )

Nowadays, unless you're into.media production, or gaming, there isnt much added value in buying a high end PC. My pc is close to 9 years old, and it can do everything I do just fine, but newer games arent exactly pinnacles of efficiency. I can still do media production, 3d modeling, and my general work just fine. My.laptop, which cost only $100.more than the launch ps4, at the same time, is powerful enough to do everything, and even runs games better than my desktop

You'd basically be spending quite a bit more to get a high end PC for games, so the cost aspect is more relevant than some people make out

rainslacker1692d ago

Really? No? What programs besides media production, like Photoshop, 3D rendering, CAD, video encoding, games, or some odd ball specialty program require a high end PC? You may notice a bit of slowness here or there, but the most common programs used by everyone do not need a lot of power. Web browsers, databases, Office, and even Windows itself don't need anywhere near what power newer PC's have to offer.

There are people out there who should just be banned from having technology, like my friend who called me over to help him because his XB1 "wasn't working" only for me to find he did not plug it into his TV. I legit facepalmed. He's the only individual I know who managed to screw up an iPad too. To make matters worse, he will text me about his problems instead of Googling them like a normal person. Yeah...the law needs to be changed so that certain people are fined for having technology. Too much facepalming can lead to brain damage, and I'd really like to avoid that.

I Miss When Games Came In Full Package Rather Than Broken Mess Filled With Microtransactions

The gaming industry has drifted away from offering full-fledged games to putting unfinished titles that are jam-packed with microtransactions on the market.

It's not the fault of the gaming industry. Gamers were told what was happening, were warned about where this would lead, did nothing, and now are acting like it's the fault of publishers that they kept buying these games and investing in MTX. If only those gamers at that time felt as strongly about these things as they do Helldivers 2.

Hugodastrevas22h ago

I don't think MTX target the common gamer but instead predate on the so called "whales". It's gambling pure and simple.

Christopher20h ago

Oh, so it's okay to buy MTX-laden games as long as you don't spend money on MTX, which has led to even more MTX-laden games with even more predatory practices where content that used to be unlocked is now behind paywalls?

C'mon now people. You gave the corporations and inch, and they kept taking and taking. Community members told people that investing in these things alone would only lead to more and more MTX and putting more and more behind paywalls. But it's only the fault of the corporations, not the people who kept supporting it with purchases as more and more was taken away?

Hugodastrevas20h ago

@Christopher that's a straw man, I didn't say any of that I just added context.

-Foxtrot17h ago

Well exactly

People stand up for something which seems small to them and they get called whiners or negative. Then years later the shit hits the fan and they all go “why is this happening?” Like they are innocent.

The issue aswell is younger gamers who grew up with all this thinking it’s normal and we all just look like old farts yelling at clouds when we’re trying to help us all, even them.

Hugodastrevas22h ago

This is what amazed me the most when playing hours upon hours of stellar Blade version 1.00.00 no bugs, no crashes, no sudden drops in frames, no screen tear, no falling from the world, just a complete package on a game under 50GB.
I think Korea will play a major role in gaming in the long run , because they're releasing banger after banger.

isarai21h ago

Still pretty common to find if you stay away from the AAA publishers, in the last 10yrs ive probably only bought like 3 games combined from EA/ACTIVISION/UBISOFT. Even now i still buy games that work right out the box perfectly fine. Just recently got like 6hrs into Alone in the Dark, and not a single sign of any of that bs, really enjoying my time with it.

shinoff218314h ago

There's such a misconception about every game needing a patch,this and that when in reality it's not even close. You nailed it isarai

z2g58m ago(Edited 43m ago)

And we as gamers have to accept our role in that. Constantly never being satisfied. Constantly demanding more while paying less. Constantly demanding better frame rates, better graphics, more modes and faster faster faster…. Then review bombing the product when a demand isn’t met. Meanwhile those same demands are making games more difficult, complex and more expensive to create than ever before, on shrinking timelines that burn out employees and make their lives miserable.

You wanna know why so many games get delayed? Cuz the original release dates weren’t realistic to begin with, but you can’t tell a gamer their game is further away than they want to hear. Some dev or game designer will be threatened physically. That builds even more pressure and rushing. We are officially squeezing water out of rocks and still complaining about that how hard you have to squeeze the rock be just waiting for rain. Most of the time we take it out on the developing studio, when it’s the publisher making the calls.

All you need to do is read the comments on most websites and social media to see how toxic, entitled and petty the gaming community at large is, and realize how that transforms into impossible expectations on the parts of game makers.
