No I wouldn't. The games look good, but the difference is plain. Soft edges are the most obvious indicator.
No, you wouldn't. The Upscaling can be done by the game on PC (ubisoft has done it a couple times) so you could get a relatively weak PC and get the same effect, with the same upscaling. This should do the trick for 415 USD. didn't even have to go find a sale. https://pcpartpicker.com/li...<...
Not really. You don't have to "distinguish individual pixels," it shows up most obviously as ( and I keep repeating myself here) as slightly blurred edges. If you can spot the difference between FXAA and SMAA or no AA, you can spot the difference between their upscaling and native 4k. Ask PC gamers and there is a good chance they'll tell you that they can spot the difference.
No, not unless you're Digital Foundry. Unless you know what actual native 4k looks like. Again, it's not a hard difference to spot. Does it look good? Yes. Is it distinguishable from 4k at normal viewing distances? Yes. It softens everything.
"Most people" are wrong. In actual fact I can tell the difference. It's not hard, the upscaling blurs everything slightly. This is most easily noticed with sharp edges. Corners of walls, bullet hole decals, the edges of swords or grass, ect. It also has trouble with particle effects, it likes to pixilate them which may or may not be noticable depending on how long they're on screen.
You are half right though. When you're dealing with the power that th...
And then they'll charge you for the missing bits with DLC or Microtransactions.
And then DRM in general. When the illegal version of a game has fewer problems because DRM restrictions or bugs are stopping you play things you bought legally, something is horribly wrong. Paying customers shouldn't be suffering because the devs/publishers are trying (and failing) to stop people who were never going to buy the game anyways from playing it.
It's not any more unfair that any other control method. There are (officially liscenced) pro controllers and attachments that provide access to more of the buttons without taking your thumbs off the controlls and fight sticks and flight sticks and steering wheels and probably more. Sony officially lisences a keyboard/mouse setup on their freaking home page for "use with all games."
Some inputs are better for some things. While I wouldn't say the keyboard i...
I have a PC. Still gonna play shooters with a mouse, no matter what platform I'm playing. Just like when I play a racing or flying game I always use a controller, no matter what platform I'm on.
@PhucSeeker I've literally never had a "drivers and whatnot" problem. Even if I had...updates are automated, so easy is exactly the word for it.
I have a PC. I want a control scheme that doesn't require large amounts of auto aim to be precise enough to be what I'd call playable. For shooters, thats a mouse. (I don't actually play anything with a keyboard, I have a joystick in my off hand)
Also, yes you can play with a keyboard/mouse on a couch. It's called a desk. or an end table. or a cardboard box. Or a stack of books. Really anything that gets you a flat surface. If you want to spend a bit of extr...
@CyrusLemont
What you're doing is the equivilant of claiming that people shouldn't be allowed to use (or should be segregated because they use) fight sticks or flight sticks or steering wheels for their respective genres.. If anything, there is a *stronger* case to be made against those because they're more expensive, a KB/M run like 15 bucks.
They also don't require a work around. In fact there are officially liscenced mouse controls for...
No. If you want to use an input device that's demonstably inferior (for first person shooters at least) that's your concern. Don't try to segregate the player base to accomodate your decision.
No, actually, it's still really stupid.
DRM (in this case denuvo) has to encrypt and decrypt files on your HDD so that they can be read to play the game. By it's nature, this requires CPU resources. The more files, the more resources. If at any point the number of files to be decrypted exceeds either your CPUs or the softwares ability to decrypt them (and with giant file sizes and CPU heavy tasks most of those resources are already being used unless it's a tiny or old game) you get slowdown while the game has to wait to get...
It causes performance problems.
It creates hoops to jump through to play the game
It protects DRM (like the kind Ubisoft uses) that spys on users and/or creates back doors on their machine
It doesn't stop pirates.
Pirates get to play the version without it.
Yeah, it's a plague. It causes problems for paying customers while failing to stop piracy. Pirates actually get the better version, and it's free at that. I have cracked ve...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA No.
I strongly invite you to come on down to RPG land where the real RPGs are. It can be overwhelming so just the highlights. Try Baldur's Gate 2, PlaneScape Torment, Pillars of Eternity, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas. New Vegas, Vampire the Masquearde: Bloodlines and Pillars of Eternity will probably be the easiest to get into because they have the most modern systems.
Hot Pursuit (2010) says hello. I know it's secretly a lovechild of Burnout 3 and Hot Pursuit 2, but it is (ironically) the most true to the series roots (barreling down winding open roads in supercars at 140 mph) thing the series has done since... well since Hot Pursuit 2. It' also the best thing the series has done, since ever.
I know nostalgia is a big thing with people and Undergound hit during the Fast and Furious craze which made it an instant hit with all the ...
1) yeah, actually, running Linux means you *can* download and install games for free.
2) As I said, people download games to the HDDs of Jailbroken PS4s and then will dump the contents onto your HDD.
Again, google.
My system is backwards compatible all the way back to like 1977. That's cool though, at least you get something. (Not sarcasm, sony killing BC at least for PS2/PS1 games just so they can sell them back to you is inexcusable. Emulating the PS3 is hard because it was designed weird, so that's an understandable omission, granted one that was created by their short sightedness.)
Yes, yes it does. There are jailbroken PS4s floating around and there are people who will put whatever you want on it (including doing things like running Linux and playing computer games or emulators.) It's not as simple as PC piracy, but it most certainly does exist. I recommned fact checking with your search engine of choice.
I PC game a good 8-10 feet from my TV. (Wireless mouse.) I can still see the difference.
It's not blurry edges around pixels. That's not even a thing, pixels are the little color shifting squares that make up your TV display. It's blurry edges. Like, of things, in the game. Where there would normally be a hard line of color (say, a white wall) to whatever is beyond the wall (say, a park) there is instead a slight fade because the computer has to guess what colo...
