not dissing or anything, but PCs winning the gaming war would be like no longer having to buy cases of bottled water online to shower with. sure, figuring out how to regulate the hot and cold from the faucet might be hard at first, and you might need a plumber or a friend to get you fixed up properly if you run into a plumbing issue, but in the long run, you’d be better off and cleaner.
think about how games are designed. what is pretty much the only thing used from start to finish? ask yourself why you need to spend more money for a middleman for your experience. you want the experience of the game. less things in the way of that will only be better.
tangent topic: to get consolebros into PCs, they shouldn’t have to worry about building/fixing their own stuff. troubleshooting something broken for a beginner/intermediate person is miserable.
All my Sony products still work. I got a stereo CD player from them over 15 years ago that sits in a horrible environment and…it still works perfectly and has dat BASS.
Ah, you play Scrub Fighter IV on your iPhone I’m guessing.
So this. Seriously, I really hate how games now a days are looks first performance last. Performance isn’t even 2nd or third, it’s dead fucking last. How many millions of console copies of Assassin’s Creed has been sold? That’s basically idiots saying it’s acceptable for games to run at 20 fps as long as there is HDR lighting and tons of shit to slow everything down. What. The. Fuck.
I have no faith that this new generation is going to adhere to 1080/60 because running at 720 will increase your visuals by 25% and running at 30 fps doubles the amount of time allowed to render a frame for supposedly prettier graphics. It’s bad enough that games now forsake vsync in favor of tearing and STILL get frame drops to 20 fps. I mean seriously, people have already accepted 20 fps as ok why should developers bother to make a lesser looking game if people are fine with 20 fps? No developer is going to lose out on the eye candy war in favor of a game running at 60 fps. Even the ones that claim 60 fps run sub 60 fps and can’t keep a stable frame rate. Just wait until some dumb fuck developer from Microsoft Studios says “Hey look how amazing Halo 8 can look at 540p with all these visual effects and AA out the asshole! Who needs 60 fps anyway!” and people will buy that shit up because they think it looks acceptable. Then Sony Studios will say “Holy shit did you see Halo 8?? We have to make Killzone 10: Assfuck Edition look better! Lets make it run 480p and 15 fps! People won’t believe the graphics then!”
Fuck no. I am not putting up with that. PS4 and Xbone games are already failing to meet stable frame rates and resolutions and developers have been developing on x86 for fucking decades now. This shit is not going to get better.
Then why’d you buy a 360 over a PS3? In the end, PS3 got better support from Western and Eastern game development whereas the wackBox got ANOTHER Halo & Gears game in its end-of-days.
Japanese games are still represented on PC. More lately than they ever have been. I enjoy games developed in all regions, if 99.9% of what you play are games developed in Japan, you seriously need to diversify a bit, and if you only play games on one platform with no assist from other platforms or handhelds, again, you need to diversify a bit.
Last generation had a shitload of innovation. Perhaps last gen was the most innovative generation of gaming ever (That’s even taking into account that the gen before that we had Seaman, GTA 3, Chibi Robo, and the Pinball RTS game). A lot of these innovations were frankly bad ideas but that doesn’t change the fact that there were innovations. It’s just that the gaming audience grew to insane levels so more games were made by-the-numbers to appeal to a wider audience. After all, a first-person sandbox simulating the life of a cat in the 1950’s doesn’t really have a large mass appeal (that would be a hella fun game to play though).
Same thing as saying consoles are nothing but first person shooters and third person cover shooters. At least PCs having nothing but First Person Shooters and MMOs would be more original. In PC fps games you can bunny hop backwards while conc jumping before dropping a syringe that kills off the entire enemy team. In Console FPS games you can play as a Space Marine killing another, brown-skinned Space Marine in the middle of Afghanistan while aiming down sights.
As graphics get better, performance will get worse, just like this generation.
If Sony can keep up 1080/60fps, I will genuinely be surprised. Doesn’t Killzone: Shadow Fall not even run @ 60 FPS in single player, and it runs at 40-60 FPS in MP? And this is a launch title. LAUNCH TITLE.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is the worst-performing console game I played this generation next to Enslaved. They both run at sub-20fps at ALL times unless you’re looking at a wall. The game’s are literally slideshows.
I take it you still play on your PS2 mainly, correct? Japanese games and design were not even close to being relevant this last gen. Or you play first party Nintendo games exclusively.
I hate that the top right of SRK shows threads in other sections of the forums, so all the animu loving weaboo phaggot SFIV players come out of their moms basement to hit us with their retarded-ass opinions.
Sony won’t keep up 60 fps for long. They can’t force anyone to stick to 1080/60. They can make their first party do that, but once their first party ooh and aah’s whoever with a 30 fps game, that will be the norm, and then after that, it will drop to 720p to get more eye candy. I actually thought Killzone: Shadow Fall was 30 fps. Call of Duty doesn’t even maintain 60 fps. People won’t care anyway, because when I try to tell idiots 30 fps sucks they often reply they can’t even see the difference. I can’t fathom that, maybe they just never played 60 fps games. The difference is enormous.
Which is why Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is so damn amazing looking on PC. 1080/60 LoS destroys the console versions, and plays 500x better on PC as well. No fucking slow downs, no high input delay native to 30 fps, and so on. I couldn’t even play past the first 20 mins of Enslaved because of all the stutter.
If you read my previous post thoroughly , like…If you actually opened your eyes to see my reasoning behind why i bought a 360
then you would actually feel stupid and you would go hide in a corner. :tup:
Holy shit, that was beyond unacceptable. I’m going to attempt to deal with this in a mature, gentlemanly manner, but that was a very low and uncalled for comment. I’m just going to let the mods deal with this (assuming what you did break a rule of some sort and they decide to do something at all, I’m not expecting them to do something) and let things go from there. You should know better as a grown-ass man.
360 dropped its Japanese support once the 360 started dying in Japan.
You should know better than to fap to cartoon porn as a grown-ass man you hentai loving queer.
If you honestly think what I said was unacceptable, then I believe what I said had some truth to it, and that you should go back to whatever scrub-filled section of the forum you crawled out of you dirty sock smelling bastard.
Then why’d you buy a 360 over a PS3? In the end, PS3 got better support from Western and Eastern game development whereas the wackBox got ANOTHER Halo & Gears game in its end-of-days.
