It was a fine week, in my book. More TLOU content and endless speculation on what the future may bring.

Here's why [random game] is better on PC than console:
Zooms into corner of wall on a hallway, "Do you see the RT reflections of the floor bouncing off the wall. You won't actually see it in the game, but it's amazing work"

Higher framerate too 👀

But yeah, the "discussions" around RT etc are dumb

Yeah, I'm gonna run through TLOU2 once more with some cheats, it's actually really fun thought I was gonna get the plat but I actually don't like collecting stuff at all anymore. I keep dying from the spider boss in Mega Man X, I have to find a video on him or something his attacks pattern are super random to me.
The spider in X follows the little lines that appear connecting the pillars together. The idea is basically to quickly read the lines and figure out where he's going to land and then get as far from there as possible (which is all easier said than done). It is random though - he doesn't follow a pattern as to where he's gonna go from one try to the next. Also, I completely forget what his weakness is, I always just use the charge shot whenever I fight him.

Part 2 already ahead of Horizon on NPD. The only question now is if it will overtake Spiderman by the end of year.

Just played an hour of the Avengers beta on my 9900k/2080/ssd pc and it looks so much better than on my Pro. The fps go from 60 to 80 and there're bad loading slowdowns in some scenes.

I'm sure the PS5/XSX version will run great @ 60fps but not in native 4k. I can only play in 1440p with my pc and outside of the better io it's above what we can expect from the next-gen twins.

So i think we'll see a 4k native mode in 30fps and a non native fake 4k in 60fps.

But it plays so much better with 60fps.

I'm not sure if 'll play it on my PS4 or if i'll wait for the PS5 version (thx Spidey). The loading was a problem on my Pro so i hope the sony ssd will make this a non-issue.

If we want to believe Insomniac, such games can run in 4K/60fps.



But maybe their engine is better with that.

I think loading times should be surely a thing of the past.
I'm not really sure, but isn't the PS5 capable to fill the RAM in some seconds of time?

Anything that gives us new next gen gameplay footage will be a win in my books.
I know people aren't the most enthused about Rocksteady's choice in IP, but if Arkham Knight is any indication, RS should blow our minds with next-gen
Can't fucking wait for that and WBM's new title, along with all the other DC goodies at Fandome
Speaking of these DC titles, do y'all think one or the other will have marketing with Sony? The Arkham series historically has
Sony might really just want to corner the superhero video game market, and I can't blame them, SMPS4 sold gangbusters and Avengers will too, at least at launch

Well, NVIDIA cards do it, and it's fantastic tech.

I'm sure AMD will try to come up with something similar.

Nvidia cards have specialised "Tensor-cores" for DLSS, it is hardware based.
Maybe AMD will have something like that with RDNA3 in a couple of years, but i don't think so.
I think they relay on DirectX12 with DirectML, it is using the "standard" architecture.
The comparisons between DirectML and DLSS will be kinda interesting i think, i'm sure DLSS will not be beaten by DirectML.

Anyone use playstation now, if so how do you like it? I am thinking of signing up for 3 months to try it out.
What do you want to use it for? If it's for downloading PS4 games then it works just as well as digital downloads so just look if there is enough available that you want to try out to justify the cost. If you want to use PS Now for streaming then different people will have had different experiences. It works great for me where I live and with my internet connection but others will tell you that it's unplayable. Might be best to try to find a trial if streaming is what you primarily want.

The first party momentum is incredibly strong going into next gen. I really hope Sony takes that into consideration when revealing the price.

Going from PS2 to PS3 must have been devastating to the first party devs, its like cutting off your nose to spite your face. All that momentum from PS2 era evaporated and I don't want this to happen again especially since the momentum is far stronger now.

Sony can afford to eat 2 years of hardware losses to grow first party sales and digital sales. Honestly I don't think they should entertain 499 because that's what people are expecting; 399 for Digital and 449 for normal . Watch games like Mile Morales, Demon's Souls and Horizon 2 sell millions more.

I want to use it to play Control because i want to try it out before buying the whole game and also after looking at the selection of games i want to play infamous 1 and 2. I have verizon fios so my connection is pretty good unfortunately everything is connected to wi-fi only.

Always worth a try.
Just so you know, streaming is 720p.
But you can download PS4 games, on PS4 that is.

Ghost of Tshushima succes is utterly absurd. Didn't expected it to come 4th ever. It's insane for a new IP and especially made by 150 people. Wow.

I play with WiFi too and on a weaker connection than yours and it's fine for me. I actually just finished inFamous 1 & 2 on the service myself. The second one is definitely still a great game. Hope it works as well for you if you decide to try the service!

This is the best gen ever, and it’s not over yet!

This thread might get buried cuz positivity is dead j/k, but I have to say this is the best gen ever!! It’s not defined by a standout genre or game or graphics technique. This is not the gen chalk-full of shooters, or cel-shaded art styles. No big jump like standard to HD or moving away from...

I said in 2018, I'll say it again...

It has reminded me that I should stop paying for games haha. Service is good, I'm not a fan of streaming due to the 720p image on a 65in 4K tv, isn't the best. I feel as though the streaming of PS4 games is better in terms of latency than PS3 games, however I download all PS4 games regardless of its ability to stream. I've used it on my laptop whenever the TV has been occupied/give my wife a break from her watching me play all the time. Its fine, but I wouldn't sacrifice local play for streaming, in my opinion.

Very large list of games from all genres so you'd find something up your alley. However if you're like me, and get things fairly quickly, you'd find yourself playing more of the lesser games/waiting for next month's batch hoping you don't already own the game they've added.
