What most people that make and play these kind of mods will say; ''It's for science!'' ;)
While it's plain obvious why people play these kind of mods, i don't blame them nor would i criticize them, i've seen people do much weirder things with their freedom.
As for the people that react to other people that show dislike towards these sort of mods and call them ''opressors of freedom-of-speech''... to dislike ...
I'm strictly talking 'on-paper' specs in the comparisons, not the end results as far as power goes. (After all, we only have 'on-paper' info for PS5 vs XboxSX)
That is why i stated in the last part, that all that power means if it's not developer friendly, which in term leads to poor optimization results.
Yea... i completely forgot Microsoft was such a small company back then...
It will all depend on the compression tech Mark Cerny mentioned. If it trully is good as he said it is, then it won't be a problem.
In comparison between Sony and Microsoft:
-PS2 won (Weaker console) vs Xbox (Stronger console)
-PS3 won (Stronger console, keeping in mind that it did had a really rocky start) vs Xbox360 (Weaker console)
-PS4 won (Stronger console) vs XboxOne (Weaker console)
-PS4Pro(Weaker console) vs Xbox X (Stronger console) (can't be determined yet, since one party does not share ''units sold'' numbers, tho if i was a betting man i would ...
He is yet to reveal his final form!
I already made my peace that Half Life 3 is not gonna happen, after Marc Laidlaw left Valve...
As i stated, it is the same B/C tech Microsoft used (meaning for any further improvements developers will need to work on the game code again).
The patent ''remastering by emulation'' suggested it would have been much more than improved FPS and resolution and that is why it is dissapointing.
''...alot of people who pirate games in general are ones who cant afford them and trust me 60 dollars for many countries around the world is an insanely high number.''
Gaming is an expensive hobby not a necessity for life, and thus there is no justification for piracy(digital/physical) nowdays.Also there is a lot of people that do have the money, but still continue downloading pirated games.
''its a great option but nobody will buy a next gen console to play old games''
Not exclusively for that reason alone, but it could prove as an incentive to buy the consoles sooner than planned.
It's still shame tho, that most if not all of these games will *likely* run at PS4/Pro settings at locked 30FPS and 1080p/4k.
They could have done much much more for those games(things like better LOD,DD,AA,NPC count,HDR etc) , but since this is not much different from what was Microsoft doing this gen it is highly unlikely those improvements will happen (even for first party games).
That's not much of a braging point considering GOW5 is a current gen game...
Hats off to GOG (even if these games were free before).
If current gen is anything to go by, the gap between XSX,PS5 and PCs will be quite small, so i might just stick with PS5 next gen.
The only real deciding factor will be whether or not the Playstation first party games will all come to PC eventually.If that is true, i just might ''migrate'' back to PC with an upgrade instead of buying an PS5.
''Excuses aside. Then why is this so power One X getting destroyed by the Switch then? Its definitely not the power that's for sure.''
Exactly, also not only that but look at the TFlop difference (the only thing people seem to care and from the looks of it the only thing that they seem to understand) of 1.8 TF between PS4 PRO and XboxOne X made almost no noticable difference. The same will likely be the case with PS5 and XSX, that also have 1.8 TF differ...
Just to correct you, Playstation 3 was more powerfull than Xbox360.
@Saijahn ''Same was said between the pro and 1X and games ran significantly better on the 1X every time. Power advantage does matter.''
Unless 1X ran those imaginary games at 60FPS while PRO ran them at 30FPS your point is quite lost. Just like PS4vsXboxOne, the differences between PS4PROvsXboxOneX were quite unnoticable.
Wish the presentation was longer, those SSD speeds are really incredible!
As expected Playstation 5 will trully be a machine to deliver great performance with less!
I'm hyped! :D

Also, the way Cerny made it sound, CUs are MUCH more important than teraflops because it results in a faster GPU. PS5 could very well end up having better performance for most games.
3D audio itself is great exclusive feature for PS5.
This is very exciting news dude!
You do realize most of the PC gamers don't even use mods, myself included (except Bugthesda games that mostly need fixing)?
(I don't approve of these sort of mods, but there is no need to put the rest PC gamers in the same basket).
