By Pele.gif Go To PostThe main target of the console is aim for 4k resolutions instead of better framerate, which is laughable in my view.I don't think that makes it a clusterfuck. It's still just a Playstation 4.
Online games will have to have similar fps on both PS4s as Sony dont want Pro players to have an advantage over the old one.
Games are sold in static images on IGN and in Game Informer, so frame rate is never going to be a priority on consoles. I agree it's a shame, and I think Sony and MS would love to release annual machine upgrades like phones and PC's, but people aren't ready for that yet. Scalable gaming is where this is headed though.
The price drop in a year for the Pro is going to be interesting once MS enters with Scorpio. If there's 100-200 price gap that thing is DOA.
I also think PS5 is no more than two years away from being unveiled and released in less than three.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostThis is so english it hurts.
It's garish but I'm not sure how it's "english". Looks like something you'd seen on Cribs which was mostly American celebrities.
The Norwegian prime minister has been caught playing Pokémon Go during a debate in Norway’s parliament.
Erna Solberg was pictured playing the game during a debate in the Storting on Tuesday. It’s no secret Solberg is a big fan of Pokémon Go. During an official trip in Slovakia, she took some time out to play the game, telling reporters she was keen to hatch some of her 10km eggs.
This isn’t even the first time a Norwegian politician has been caught playing the game while in parliament.
The leader of Norway’s Liberal party, Trine Skei Grande, was seen playing the game during a meeting on national security back in August, at the height of Pokémon Go-mania.

They might be trying to bullshit you about 4k games, but be assured that it isn't going to be for anything but a few selected 2d indie titles. Much like the PS3 was able to output 1080p when it came to gaming, but... Nothing really ever did.
They are already admitting it really:
“Brute-force rendering techniques can of course be used to support [4K] displays,” PlayStation technical chief Mark Cerny said during the PlayStation presentation on Wednesday. “But they have unfortunate consequences for console cost and form factor.”
“There’s a lot of magic sauce happening,” Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst said during a roundtable with reporters yesterday. “It’s not native 4K. But as you see for yourself, it’s perceptively so close that you wouldn’t be able to see the difference.”
So it's clear that:
Brute forcing = Actually doing 4k.
Magic sauce = Bullshit to feed the crowds.
But really, 1440p is pretty nice too, and a good aim I think. That is what I run on my pc and I sure as fuck won't be going for 4k anytime soon. It's just not feasible if you aren't rich as fuck.
Of course a stable framerate would be nice, but you know they will always aim for what makes the games look best in tv ads, screenshots and at events. Devs have shown to almost always value image quality over framerate on consoles, some in a lot more extreme ways than others though.
Anyway, I refuse to believe frame rates aren't going to range quite a bit version from version. It will happen, also online.
By hixx Go To PostWatching GiantBomb's PSVR stream (they're not too smitten with it) and I pop into the GAF thread
Some guys saying they can't trust GB cos they liked Forza Horizon a lot lmao. And "talk sarcastically" about everything Sony. And "Jeff's ties to Phil Spencer and Microsoft(!!?!)" are obvious.

I don't understand, why people can't just accept half of them hate everything (really except Dan and Vinny). I like that. Because most games are shit.
I cant lie and say I'm not dissappointed with the Pro but should have known from the specs what we were getting (but the UHD player killed me), I'm just thirsty for real 4k content, my TV feels redundant.
By Woodenpapangus Go To PostI hate yellow too much.It's my favorite Coldplay song
UHD is this decade's mini-disc. A great platform that will only be supported by a few.
It's dead the moment it came out. Streaming media takes no prisoners.

Streaming will take a looooooooooong time until it takes over completely. It's still shit quality compared to blu rays you buy, and too many countries and areas have capped internet or just really slow internet. Physical media for movies will live on for quite some time. Certainly will keep enough of a customer base to keep supporting.

I did not.
Thought the first one was quite good. For the first hour or two. But it turned out to be a horrible one trick pony, just constant boring jump scares.

Mini disc? Nah too many 4K TVs are being sold for 4K for it to be a phase. It's more a question of what level of support rather than if it will be a thing.
By hixx Go To PostWhy arent we playing FIFAThat's a good question.

I'm making food, will be done in 20 min.
Well I am going to play Forza until then. Message me on Steam when you've finished eating, soft boi.

Or maybe he's really dead.
Will be streaming some MW Remastered on PS4 soon if anyone wants to have a gander. I'll post a link when the time comes.

By FlutterPuffs Go To PostUHD is this decade's mini-disc. A great platform that will only be supported by a few.UHD is selling nearly 5 times more than Blu-Ray did at the same time in their life. Samsung is selling their player as fast as they can make them. Streaming is nice if you want to watch something quickly but image quality doesn't compare to physical media. UHD will do fine.

I'd pay way more for streaming UHD quality though, current stream quality is trash, and physical media is just annoying
By ReRixo Go To PostI'd pay way more for streaming UHD quality though, current stream quality is trash, and physical media is just annoying
I would do the same. But that we would do that, doesn't mean it's going to happen, or that the many people who simply aren't able to, will suddenly have the internet to do so. To stream decent quality 4k, you need more than 20Mbps, which many struggles to get. Put internet caps on top of that, and it's quite a mess.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostHD streaming will NEVER be as good as the physical version, especially the bit-rate
Eh it could sometime down the line. But it's obviously very far off. For tv show and movies I am willing to make the sacrifice though. Really don't care that much.

I wish providers did offer this option, fuck me on the price if you want, as I get streaming up me 30mbps just isn't friendly for anyone involved.
When did people get so damn lazy. you put the disc in the tray close it, job done.
you would need over 500 mbps to get a decent bit-rate stream, in my area of greater London I would be lucky to get anything above 5mbps, a digital-only future is not an option for me.

Or you know, that isn't the only upside to streaming?
If I want to watch Anti Christ right now, to climax to that scene of the penis ejaculating blood, I would first have to find the damn thing at a store or online and order it.
Or I could go on netflix or whatever and watch it right now.

Why do you hate that. I fucking love getting a haircut. Sometimes it's a nice looking lady, or it's a gay guy who really compliments your hair and looks a lot. I like both.
By Xpike Go To Postor maybe not

British humor really is the worst.
In Cebu I got haircuts all the time. Had to try them all. How can you not with signs like this?
Turns out the haircut was free, with a mandatory whitening of your face. The whitening powder made me look like a cool goth.
Me, hixx, penny and you. That is 4 with you.

nothing better than seeing myself in the mirror after a fresh hair cut
up there with close shaving.

they were most definitely selling your hair btw, some shady barbers do that.

No. They were selling whitening powder. To be whiter. Which they thought was hilarious putting on me, especially the fairly old bakla that worked there.
