Not against the idea. Might be a nice bonus if you are a Plus member.
But, lets be realistic. Unlike Microsoft's backward compatibility, PSNow takes a great deal more cost to support. For the most part, Microsoft is download and done. It's server infrastructure to support is the same as the storage and licensing for all the XB1 games. All the actual gameplay work is done on the console itself. In comparison PSNow, as a streaming service, can easily surpass theba...
I think a better similarity would actually be Tomb Raider without Laura Croft. I wouldn't want to play that game nor would I want to play Uncharted without Drake. It doesn't mean they couldn't create a new game similar to Uncharted. Just don't call it Uncharted. To me it would be like a TV series where the main character leaves after a long run and the producers try to keep the series alive by bringing the crazy uncle or other characters to replace him/her. It never works. It...
@Kenshin_BATT0USAI No disagreement the best version will be the PC version (ignoring crappy bug infestations). We could ignore, like for some reasons PC gamers making that very point always seem to do, that only around 5% PC players will be able to actually claim that right of best gameplay capability on their rigs. But, why ignore that little fact. It so fun to point out that only a sliver of PC gamers will be able to even reach PS4 Pro level gameplay and lot less with the ability to su...
@dirkdady The best example you could come up was Destiny? A game most players have learned to despise in some form or another. Yeah! a map or two and some colored underwear or other armor and a special weapon that does nothing special, a special ship. Nobody I knew cared either way. Well, I guess just the normal angry groupies that exist on either side of the console fanboyism argument cared. But, Joe consumer did not care.
Sorry to bring your little fantasy into reality. You are dreaming if you think a CPU starting at $799 (not even on the market until next month) will be $140 by 2020. The problem with using that CPU is that even if you wildest dreams of the Threadripper based CPU is available at $140 in 2020, it is still the APU (the GPU + the CPU) that itself must be around $120-140 for a console to retain the $399 price tag. That is what part estimates say it costs in the current Pro for it's $39...
Funny movie, I just watched it again the other night. He and Alan Tudyk are hilarious. They need to make another Tucker and Dale vs Evil movie (heck make it a TV series, I watch it). Perhaps that quote from that very movie applies here: (Tucker) "Do your friends take medication?" should be asked about Tyler when playing Forza.
However, most people will probably recognize Tyler Labine as "Socks" from the series Reaper or that short lives series on Hulu...
Either is the PSVita. It came about at the tale end of the last generation. I would not consider it part of gen 8. As it stands it clearly was, for the most part, abandoned by Sony the second year of this current generation of consoles.
Well it your learned to read maybe the title would help. "Console" is in the title. I imagine a lot of PS4 exclusives would be lost as well, because many of those same third party games that make of that PS4 list are on the PC as well. And what happens when Sony's own PS4 first party games are added to the PSNow catalog? At that point those games are playable on Windows as well, does that mean we subtract them off the PS4 total then too? If we are going to ignore the title w...
@TankCrossing The HDMI 2.1 standard which most TV's (other than the very low end models) should have had for over several months now is by its definition supposed to support sending 120hz over 4K and 60hz over 8K. Today, it will be rare to soon not find a 4K that will not support HDMI 2.1 and I definitely wouldn't buy one that didn't have HDMI 2.1 or was not able to be updated to HDMI 2.1 at some point. Considering over 50% of all 4K TV's that have ever been bought were i...
@REDGUM First I might listen to what you had to say if you actually didn't litter your thoughts with obviously incorrect. Are you so threatened you are adding $101 to the price tag it is $499 not $600? And what the heck is ROM have to do with? I didn't know it had a larger pool of Read Only Memory. How does that help gaming that much if it did? It has more RAM with a much faster pipeline that will be or is actually being used by game developers; XBOX releases 9GB of that 12GB to be...
@_-EDMIX-_ "service actually exist on PlayStation 3"
@Major_Glitch "Yes, because I bought my next-gen console to play last-gen games. "
@FunAndGun "This was never a BC solution"
It will actually not exist on the PS3 after August 15th. If this is not a BC service what is the purpose of this service then? I am really wondering. It won't stream any longer to the devices where it really made sense (smart TVs, PSVita, PS3...
You do know Gold standard means excellence. And that means 1080 hasn't been the gold standard of anything for quite awhile. The excellence is all in devices is left for producing 4K monitors. ATMOS, HDR, OLED, Superbit processing etc.. make the focus of 4K the gold standard for manufacturers for quality and new tech. Try going into almost any BestBuy or Costco and buy anything above 45" that isn't 4K. They really don't exist anymore (i.e. really hard to find anything). And...
@Apocalypse Shadow What is price have to do with it? Kinect was $150 8 years ago. Not exactly cheap. Vive and Oculus have been out for several years but, their demand is negligible. But relative to the cost of the computer that was required to play it $1200+ the expense was similar to a console user spending $150 for a Kinect. I don't know what on shelves mean to you. But, I know what cut back production means to me and that is what Sony has done with the PSVR. PSVR it sold almost 80...
VR is not universal platform. Well, ironically the only API that is supported by multi-vendors is Microsoft's MR standard (with Asus, Acer, HP, Dell and others). Other than that no one of the current VR platforms follows the same API or has the same specs or anything else other than they go on your head. Kinect and Move were closer in design to each other than all these VR platforms we have now. And this passion for VR is made up. It is a small group; a minority of a minority. Sure the ...
Let me explain who Atari is today. They are a French holding company with a total net value of 100 million dollars. That is after doubling their net worth after announcing their retro console a few months ago (went from .24 Euros to .49 Euros a penny stock) and that investor excitement is starting to subsidize. In other words in May 2017 Nintendo was 1000 times larger than Atari was are on paper. They do not have the capability financially to invest in some machine that is not cheap and ea...
You know that Oculus is planning on releasing a wireless Oculus for around $200 early next year. (Some say the product codenamed Pacific will be released later this year but, I am betting on early next year) So, if you are interested in a PC option you might want to wait a little. To me these deals for Oculus are more likely cleaning inventory as much as possible.
@PurpHerbison "Who the hell leaves their consoles out in the sun? "
Do you live in a cave? No windows at home? Come on even third world countries have windows. Besides this is UV damage that affects the polymers. And that damage does not require the sun. There are plenty of man made sources that can do the same UV damage. Additionally, polymer damage: changing color and/or making the console plastic case brittle is not exclusively caused by UV. Other causes ar...
