Can it time travel using its negative clock speed?

Linktank ,

Just buy a gaming PC.

I like to play my games knowing the developers optimized it for exactly the hardware I’m playing on.

Policeshootout ,

Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven’t played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

kandoh ,

Now the games are attached to your windows and Sony accounts so they’ll follow you around as much as steam games do

burgersc12 ,

Oh yes my fully disc based games are all on my account now of course, not like they’d make you buy them again right?!?

burgersc12 ,

This is why pirating what you already owned should be morally correct :)

Linktank ,

I like to play my games on hardware that I picked out and put together personally. Also I like that hardware to be using an OS of my choosing with as much expandable storage as I could possibly want. Also, I don’t like to give my money to companies that encourage exclusivity on their hardware.

kandoh ,

Yeah, if you enjoy the process of fiddling around with your system and installing cool new drivers and programs to get your game running then PC gaming is better no doubt.

I just want to turn the game on and play though

burgersc12 ,

But once you get it working, it works. It’s not as hard as you imagine, got a working Linux gaming setup in less than an hour after building my PC, and with software like EndeavourOS and Proton, you can get yours setup in such a short amount of time it’d blow your mind.

kandoh ,

It works, and then you don’t enjoy the game so it was all for nothing, or they release a patch that changes something so you have to do it all over again. And then you have that to look forward to with every new game you want to try out.

I follow a lot of PC gamers on social media and they’re always crowd-sourcing technical questions about why this or that isn’t working like they expect.

burgersc12 ,

Right, hate it when my gaming PC gives me depression lol.

Amusing that aside from the GPU TFLOPS the rest of it is a slight improvement if at all

Midnitte ,

Looks like the biggest improvement is the addition of the ray tracing cores?

Vilian ,

But both ps5 and Xbox had rt core, no?, what I understood is that the normal cores are RDNA3 and the RT cores RDNA4, ps5 no-pro has everything (including the RT cores) RDNA2

Midnitte ,

Ah your probably correct - but just wanted to denote the inclusion of the “RDNA4 RT”

Does it have enough games yet?

DoucheBagMcSwag , (edited )

I don’t see no fucking disc drive here, bucko.

Turbonics OP ,

You will own nothing and you will be happy

sunzu2 ,

You can get one is my understanding but this sentiment aint wrong either. this is the transition stage.

The current Slim PS5 also doesn’t have a disc drive, you can just buy it in a bundle and attach the optional one.

Honestly for manufacturing this makes way more sense, to ship one SKU and then make them all upgradable to disc. It’s also kind of nice that if you buy a digital one and want disc in the future you can just buy the drive.

What's the point of consoles getting more powerful? Shouldn't affordability be the main target at this point?

Their main target audience is couch gaming on TVs, which are usually only 60Hz, something the PS5 and XSX can do comfortably.

averyminya ,

Consoles need to be more powerful because of the perceived importance that marketing has created for gamers desperate need for graphical fidelity over all else.

The gameplay of COD and FIFA doesn’t matter so long as it’s sharper/more crisp/more real. Granted, this mindset has somewhat faded, however it is still present and as a result corporations are still pushing it because while 60hz may be an old standard, Sony now has 120hz TV’s to sell you.

In addition to that, COD and FIFA don’t have to be nearly as well optimized if the consoles can just brute force through it. Also, without newer consoles that are more powerful, there then won’t be games that are too powerful to run on older consoles, meaning they won’t get to sell you new consoles because of the old games you want to play. Instead they can sell you the new games that only work on the new consoles.

I’m sure there are more reasons, but those seem to be the 3 core facets that make up the purpose of console gaming; sell the lie of the best graphical fidelity, make a game that requires a high powered console to play it, market it as “needing the best of the best” to be able to play it, and suddenly you have a brand loyal set of consumers who keep returning to the fishhook.

thejml ,

Enter Nintendo. Crappy 9yo SOC, sure, whatever, here are some fun games that aren’t graphically advanced.

averyminya ,

The console wars have always been between Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo does the innovation side of things

Is it going to be the size of a small fridge like the base model?

Cenotaph ,

My money’s on bigger

Ephera ,

At first I thought, they’re releasing this news now to drown out the Concord news, but 30 year anniversary, maybe they did have this planned a little longer. 🙃

would really love playstation to come out with a hybrid switch/steam deck design because i honestly can’t comprehend having a console that i can’t take with me and play on the go anymore.
