I’m more concerned about the logistics of Pokken since you apparently have to LAN 2 consoles to play it competitively at 60fps.
Seeing the ST setup at Evo 2012, seems like a more logistical nightmare than two Wii U’s hooked up to monitors.
Except they would have to lan multiple consoles and provide two monitors for each. Seems like it’d take up a bunch of space.
So was last gen the best one for fighters since the death of arcades? I think so.
Can we get these Front page yet?
NA release of Nitro + Blaster Herione Infinite Duel
and the console release of Shin Kohime ENBU that has decent netcode.
Where are all the fighting games on PS4s PSN???
I recently took the plunge for SF5 and naively hoped i would also be getting a more populated version of 3SOE and other old school fighters as they were pretty dead on 360.
But holy shit. No older SF games, no older Soul Caliber, no KOF, no Garou, no Darkstalkers etc.
Was anyone else disappointed or was i just a dumb optimist?
That’s a big part of why I built a PC over buying a console this gen. So far the decision has turned out to be a good one.
I got a PS3 recently too for those few fighters that I can’t play online on PC. I have a 360 already, but I’m not paying for XBL just to play online. Sucks because I own MvC2 for 360 and not PS3.
I know there’s Fightcade but i like having everything in one place.
I only got back into fighting games last year and only had the demo for MVC2 on my 360. I was gutted that i couldnt download the full game anymore.
What games are on the PS3? Alpha and 3SOE for a start right?
Just about any fighter that has been released or re-released in the past 10 years. 3SOE, UMvC3, P4A, SC, KOF, Tekken, GG, BB, SSF2T:HDR, etc…
consoles are getting way too expensive.
They need to keep them below $300.
$500 for a video game?
WTF?
He does have a point. Consoles used to be about cheap, standardized boxes to play games on. Put game in, press power, you’re at the title screen. Simple, straightforward, quick. The Wii was more or less the last of its kind, and even then only barely. The console proper probably died with the Gamecube and Xbox. Steam is beginning to be more of a console than the goddamn bloated turds they call consoles nowadays.
You have to be retarded if you want a console to be able to pull next gen graphics but at the same time to have a price under 300.
Plus PS4\xbone were essentially outdated hardware on release at a $400 price point. Not being able to do 60 fps 1080p on most everything isn’t next gen.
They weren’t cheap. The SNES was 200usd in 1991, which is about 350usd today according to an inflation calculator, and the PS1 was 300usd in 1995, which would be 466usd. For some reason they didn’t adjust for inflation as the years passed, so we didn’t see an appropriate price increase until the 7th gen, and even then they were cheap for the power you were getting(and in the case of the PS3, a blu-ray player). And the cost of games has dropped significantly.
Today’s consoles are priced fairly. You pay for a second controller now, but games are cheaper. You pay for online play, but it’s not like that was even an option in 1995.
The funny thing is, $399 for a console now is actually cheaper than $299 for a console in 1994 thanks to inflation. Plus, thanks to all the thing a modern console can do, more value for money.
SMH, every time that i read the not being able to run everything at 60fps i have to wonder if people understand that there is so much stuff that leads to this besides the hardware, like poorly optimized engines for example.
Now, i agree that many times the reason why we have to suffer 30fps is because the developers compromize on the fps side, since the plebs love shiny graphics and couldn’t care less about the game playing at optimized 60fps.
The ps4 and lolbone are not oudated, but equvalent to mid spec pcs, which for their price is more than reasonable.
High end pc’s or like some fools like to call “current hardware” are excessively expensive to be even considered to make a standard hardware out of them.
I had a recent exchange kind of like this with @Projectjustice where I think we were talking past each other. It really depends on what people call a mid ranged system/high end system.
I tend to think console players view low end PCs as mid range due to their price expectations. Whereas on PC build sites, you have a wild range of what a mid range system is, anywhere from a $500-$1100 tower. To me a 970 is a mid range card. 970s are generally accepted to outperform current gen consoles. The 980s and Titans of the world being the high end (and in my mind, totally not worth the money), at least to me. On the other hand, I see others here claiming the 960 is the mid range. I also view trying to match console performance as too low a bar in a system build, but for others, they’re happy with playing current games with middling settings.
Yes, I recognize that a 970 costs around the same price as a PS4, but I need a PC at home for work/media anyway.
Yup, this is pretty much it. All of the fanboys who went to war over that resolutiongate nonsense when the consoles came out pretty much determined whether or not they’d get 60fps or a higher resolution. And 60fps for the next gen is probably out of the question, since they will be arguing about whether or not they can do 4k at that point.
As a TO, I can’t make the same money off a PC compared to my PS4 which, thanks to the MKX Asia Pacific Championship and Manila Cup 2015, has already paid for itself.
These price are fair, For the cost of keeping game price realtively the same. We may have experince an inflation of game price to now be $65- $70 which is still reasonable. Some may argue you have to pay over $120 when you count season pass and dlc. Well for all intent and purposes those thing are not necessary to play the game. But that an whole another discussion in it self.
