I dont think anyone is saying they need to come out every 2 years (not to mention almost no game is released that quickly anymore)

By the time Fallout 5 comes out, it will be more than 15 years since Fallout 4 came out (same with ES6 coming out 15 years after Skyrim). Even if you want to use F76 as the metric for the most recent release, that one came out in 2018. It will be a miracle if F5 comes out before 2030

The point is that for a studio that doesnt ...

In terms of performance, not really. FPS boost was already getting the game to 60.

But they are adding some other fixes and adding some stuff for free from the Creation Club

They are not actually charging $80 for the glove.

The glove is a special unlockable that you get if you buy all 4 packs of Godzilla x Kong that each has their own set of items.

Saying the glove costs $80 is no different than saying a preorder or collector’s edition skin costs $70-150+ in any other game because its the only way to get it, leaving aside everything else you get for that amount paid

That aside, I have always found $15-20+ m...

Yes it does… its literally linked to the render time.

A lower FPS means higher frametime, 33ms at 30fps (in avg of course)

If someone is measuring click to photon latency of 100ms at 30fps, then you know 33ms of those 100 are directly tied to the render time and then work out where the other 67 are from.

If you measure those same 100ms at 120fps, then its only 6ms of render time and you have 90+ ms on latency...

Claiming something is factually incorrect while providing 0 facts to the contrary…why am I not surprised by this kind of comment

Its literal testing and video recording on the topic…its hard not to call that anything BUT factual

Also, TVs without game mode (which you dont actually know if they had on or not), have about 90ms on latency, this was 240+ (plus a known UE issue that developers need to correct on their end).

Not everyone is ...

“There's no logical reason to put an Epic store on an actual Xbox. Epic only has PC games anyway, which the XSX can't run.“

Mmm what???

You do understand those storefronts could literally be selling any kind of game version? Its just game files and keys on a server, they dont sell console versions of games because there is no (legal) way to play them on PC…. Not because they can only sell PC games

Epic games (or any other storef...

There is no need to read between any lines… he was asked especially if it could happen and he said yes, comparing how its already done on PC, not everything is some sort of double meaning or hint to what they want to do, sometimes its just a straightforward question and a straightforward answer

And given how the EU is basically pushing against basically all sort of walled gardens more and more, I would not be surprised if this is what will eventually happens for all console...

I forgot about that one, though to be fair, that one is more the exception than the rule and the One S in itself was already quite small.

But yeah, I guess there is a precedent for this kind of design

29d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

Based on how its designed, just taking out the disc drive wouldnt actually affect any of the dimensions (unless they turn it into some weird L shape thing).

You can check out the placement and how the components are distributed at around 4:30

The width and depth are determined by the fan and the height by the rest of the components w...

You already do more than enough to look like a sucker, no need to worry about it

Seriously, talking about “only renting games” in the current platform where it is without a doubt the easiest to actually do game preservation when publishers screw everyone in all other places….

Its not related to the PS5, its because of the TV/Monitor you are using.

Some newer TVs have certain features that help minimize it, and you should only see it really in near black scenarios (otherwise its probably a TV that does VRR really badly), but even on my G3 OLED I still have near black flickering in VRR in certain content, for Alan Wake for example I had to disable VRR and just set a framerate cap (it was on PC), or I ocassionally see it in loading screens since th...

@sweatyrich

Even on a 120hz container it doesnt work. For some reason Sony hasnt implemented Low Framerate Compensation for whenever a game drops below the VRR window like the Xbox does.

The exception is some (maybe all, not sure) Insomniac games, but because they did it in the game side directly (plus offering more performance modes than any other game haha).

Its really annoying that Sony doesnt do anything about. With so many games ha...

To be fair, while Helldivers 2 has been great and quite successful, its only been out for a month and a half.

Its success from a launch standpoint has already been proven, but whether it succeeds as a Live Service game (in particular as one to be used as a model for others) is not really something we know yet.

The whole point of devs and publishers going for live service is the consistent revenue they provide over several years, not just 1-2 months

Because their work on FSR would likely be much easier to port to PC.

I have no doubt that Sony games will use it, but just as practically every single feature that is specific to one console, most developers tend to go for the faster/cheaper option and not really take good advantage of exclusive features

Assuming there is any kind of extra work in PSSR compared to FSR3, even if small, and taking into account the PC ports, I see most devs going for the eas...

35d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

It very well could be that PSSR is a byproduct of FSR3.1, that doesnt really change the fact that FSR3.1 is not magically boosting performance even more than it did before, its just fixing many of the issues that FSR2 had (which is still obviously very welcome)

The big difference would be if PSSR can be hardware accelerated on the Pro (since FSR is software only), which could help it get even more in line with DLSS and XeSS in terms of quality.

That said,...

@fr0sty upscale the framerate? What are you talking about? You dont upscale framerate… PSSR will do the same thing all other upscalers are already doing, how good is it in terms of quality will have to be examined when its out, but given how its supposed to be somewhat hardware accelerated as opposed to purely driven by software like AMD, I would expect to see better image quality from PSSR compared to FSR2. Performance wise you shouldnt expect any differences to what FSR already provides, th...

I mean, not to necessarily give them any kind of credit, because they clearly have some pretty dumb ideas… but the reality of AAA development has meant basically all big publishers have had to look at Live Service games in one way or another to try to cope with increasingly bigger budgets and longer development times.

The 5 years it took to make HL (with no doubt a massive budget) cannot be hard to manage when they are also expected, by gamers AND shareholders, to come up ...

I know games have to be fully installed because of disc speed vs internal drive speed, what I wasnt sure of was whether the whole install had to be done right away or if it prompted the next part of the install at certain points of the game or if it was all in one go

51d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

Even more so because of the structure of the game, does it actually work in a way that you put in all 4 discs right at the beginning to install everything and then one of them is just a “key” ?
Because otherwise I dont see where exactly they would cut off in the middle of an act to swap discs when so much of the game is technically “side” content

To be honest, if there is a remake/remaster (not that it needs one) I would prefer someone else to handle it, like they did with Demon Souls

From many perspectives From Soft is an amazing developer, BUT, on a technical level they are far from impressive, both in terms of dated visuals (again, on a technical level, not art/design) and usually poor performance.

And what is the point of a remake/remaster if not to provide a visual and performance enhancemen...
