A late reply, but that is exactly my line of thinking. I really like what Sony is doing, but as I age, my gaming habit is going to the backburner more and more, even though I have ever so expensive toys that I never had before in my life. I took the leap with the first PS4 model, which served me well and wasn't loud at all, but the PS4 Pro launch model damn! That thing was the noisiest console I've ever had. It ruined my GoW, Red Dead Redemption 2 Experiences totally, even after modif...

Sorry, not buying it again full priced. Same for Persona 5. In fact, I won't buy the original versions next time on release, I'll just wait for 3 years to get the definitive version. I got all the time in the world to wait and save my money, meanwhile I'm busy with life and value my pennies!

This is how all scams will unravel, slowly, and surely, and suddenly there's just no communication. I bet there's a full panic mode and people will start leaving soon. But it all depends on how much money flows in, and how it is distributed, and how it is all put in the books. I bet if authorities walked in the office right now and took a look at the latest build, they'd realize this is never going to be ready, and is very, very far from it.

Now that we are comparing the size or our di... hardwa... I mean toys!! I use 4K60 65" Sony X950G, running games at 3072x1728 (80% of 4K) via RIS / Trixx upscaling to 4K on Nitro+ 5700xt @ 1980mhz, CPU Ryzen 3100 @ 3.9ghz, both undervolted to be completely silent.

Thinking of selling the Nitro+ for RTX3080, but only if it has DLSS2.0 for ALL games without requiring developers to support it. That would be a game changer for me, and to be frank, for the industry as well....

Once you get the gist of it, it's actually quite easy. You can upgrade attack power, skills and equipment by roaming around the lands before beating him. The first phase becomes really easy once you learn the combos, the second is a bit tougher, but the only reason it tough is because the mechanic to beat him by countering the thunder attack is hard to pull off in such a high pressure and long battle. Once you learn that, he is actually EASY!

I wouldn't say "Japanese Gamers" are obsesed with mobile games. It's Japanese normal everyday people who do that, including our Japan side family's people who are in their 60s, 70s and 80s.

The gamers on the other hand who we know here actually love consoles and single player story-driven games, and own Playstations, Switches and DSs, and even the PC gaming is growing here as well due to Youtubers and Minecraft.

I'm good, I have two phat PS3's, one 20GB and one 60GB, I fixed them both, and they are relatively quiet (fans go to stage 1 or 2, but not the loudest ever.) And I got 40 classics on PS1/PS2 that won't ever get released due to licensing issues. Stuff like whole Suikoden series, and Shadow Hearts/Koudelka series, pretty much all Shin Megami Tensei games on PS1/PS2 which are good, Japan only classics such as Front Mission 5 and Dragon Quest V.

TLDR material, but my take on PC building!

Bought a budget gaming PC with Ryzen 3100 + Nitro+ 5700XT + Gen 3.0 m.2 SSD to make a snappy silently humming unvervolted and underclocked gaming machine for my 65" Sony 950G. Using Trixx + RIS to upscale all games from 3K to 4K to make all games 60fps and near identical to 4K native. Cost me 1000 USD, including 4x superb noctua fans and small mods, such as anti-vibration legs and screws. Faster and more silent than stock 5700...

There's no such CPU as 3100X. There's only 3100 or 3300X. And they have different latency.

@ABizzel1

Why would you use Ryzen 3200G + discrete GPU? Why not Ryzen 3100 + Discrete GPU or just 3200G as is?

Exactly my thoughts! Game developers owe me zero, zip, nothing. In fact, I owe them, because they are creating create art to keep our minds away from our dull daily tasks. Often times people can literally watch full playthroughs for free online, listen to game soundtracks, and even play games for free. I dare not to tell them they owe me something, because if they weren't creating, I would have had nothing in the first place!

It's on me to do my research before I in...

Haha... Sadly, milk is not a long-term investment! Neither are games, to be honest.

Maybe you remember games were 50 US dollars in the 80s and 90s, but I remember many new games (not all) were also equivalent to 80 Euros (100 USD at that time) in some scandinavian countries, not too far from that in Germany, France and UK. Not to mention the games that weren't even available in the region, imported games could cost even more (we didn't get all games in Europe in the 90s.) And if you think I'm complaining, ask people who live in South America/Middle East/Africa ho...

Yeah, agree. Did they ever even consider the possibility that the Google Translator was actually correct?

2181d ago 15 agree0 disagreeView comment

My wife who's a native Japanese speaker said none of those translations are incorrect. After thinking about other games and their title screens, though, we thought that there might be better (and cooler) ways definitely to express those functionalities. Looks like a placeholder instead of the actual translation.

This! I've done two PS3 phat maintenances, including thermal pastes, Blu-ray drive replacement and cleaning up everything. I didn't do the under the CPU (IHS) and GPU repasting for PS3 because I don't have a heatgun (yet), and I'm afraid I might scratch the CPU particularly, but I'm looking into how I can do it to keep the PS3 quiet as whisper. I've teared them apart probably 30 times by now, and switched parts around and toyed with it. It's great fun, and really m...

Had GOTY edition on Playstation's Europe store, linked with that account and got the GOTY edition on GOG. Tested it this morning, looks way better and is 60fps+ all on ultra including hairworks on and upscaled by Trixx boost 70% of 4K and RIS on with Sapphire nitro+ 5700XT. Some artifacts, but better than checkerboarded 1440p on PS4 with 20-30fps. This also completes my Witcher GOTY/Enhanced Edition PC collection! Pretty much the only Western RPG series I like, although I think the first ...

I do dig what you say about having a high quality projector, but not convinced you'd find a native 4K chip projector with high quality anywhere near $4000 with hdmi 2.1, good HDR10, and one that is bright enough for everyday use.

@Gouldybobs, I'm almost 40 and I love Ratchet and Clank. The humor is timeless, plus it has a lot of stuff in it that only people who have been working for years understand. It's a series made by adults for everyone. Spiderman is just as much re-release as Uncharted Lost Legacy was, and that was very, very far from a re-release. Your comment is really strange.

Housemarque is the Finnish studio's name... their game is called Returnal.
