I have both. As a whole i prefer my PS5 as I've just had better experiences with it so far due to Spider-Man, Demon's Souls and now Returnal (my current game of the year). At the end of the generation it will be the games that define my favourite system, not a few hardware features.
Probably a B- for me so far, but that's all based on personal preferences. While the piece of hardware is good, I hardly touch my Series X because I'm just not into old games. FPS boost doesn't matter to me, backwards compatibility doesn't matter to me, the vast majority of games of game pass don't matter to me. I think it'll be a couple of years before i play my Series X a lot, once they start bringing out some big exclusives.
I've spent most of...
Did they ever fix the terrible stuttering on Series X? Rotating the camera was nauseating so i moved on from the game.
Or i could just be realistic about the world and not think companies make products because they care about me like some of you idiots do.
Massive overreaction. Also, company leaders aren't there to please your every whim. They are there to steer the company to profit. In that case, he's succeeding.
60fps is an experience I just enjoy so much more than 30fps. It's more natural, more immersive, less jarring. That's why I'd much prefer at least an option to drop resolution for 60fps.
I've tried 3 different games at 120fps now and can barely tell a difference between 60 and 120, but 30 to 60 is such a huge difference for me. I don't really want to play any games at 30fps anymore.
I think people are missing the point a bit. This is about making money out of older games that aren't generating much revenue on PlayStation consoles anymore. This isn't a step towards releasing brand new exclusives on PC along with PS5. It will always be games that are a few years old and are an opportunity to make a second round of profit from PC players. They still first and foremost want to sell you a PS5 with exclusives.
Graphics have never been impressive in these games, but it's about time they changed that. These games often looks years behind.
I disagree about animations not being janky. They've always felt low effort to me.
I get everyone plays consoles for different reasons, but I didn't get my Series X and PS5 to play old games. Xbox just seems so focussed on it because they barely have any new games to play. Granted it's a slow start with not a lot of exclusives around, but Xbox feels like the big games are 2 or 3 years away.
I don't regret getting both consoles, but I really hope Xbox gets some exclusives soon I care about playing.
Watched the longer trailer. Same old janky animations by the look of it. I know it's a low quality video, but the graphics don't appear to be anything special. More of the same by the looks of it. Bit disappointing really.
Seem this in a few games now. They try to push the DRS range higher on Series X, but it just ends up in more dropped frames.
Yucky this month.
I have two friends who are fanatical about Nintendo. They freely admit they are suckers and will pay whatever Nintendo charge for their constantly rehashed games and their slew of shelf filling collectibles. You won't change the mind of the indoctrinated.
I went the other way. As I grew up and matured (at least in my tastes, poo is still funny), I got increasingly annoyed with Nintendo as they just weren't making anything I cared about. I haven't been a Nintendo...
Yeah now that I've played more 60fps titles, I'll generally choose lower resolutions or turn off ray tracing to get the 60fps.
I'm more than happy for them to run checkerboard 4K again on PS5 if it gives us 60fps. I believe it can give you up to 30% more performance. This game looked fantastic on a 4K screen.
I'm not sure 'Power your dreams' is the right tag for Xbox. Maybe it should be something like 'Promises never realised'.
Of all my friends into video games, there are none more willing to lap up every drop of rehashed content than the die hard Nintendo fans. They readily admit it. They will pay whatever Nintendo charge for the 4th release of some game from 1982. If they're going to pay it, of course Nintendo are going to charge it.
No. It was just the next in line of their underpowered consoles after the Wii.
GameCube was the last Nintendo console I actually enjoyed using.
Would MUCH prefer Wind Waker.
Personally, I need big games day one to make this service useful to me. Outriders was a step in the right direction (although it ended up being a pretty average game), but i need more. Old stuff, filler stuff, indie stuff, stuff i've already played isn't giving me value. I'm locked into Game Pass with the Series X All Access deal and barely getting any use out of it.
I'm not going to play even one of these added games.
