Wonder if the game will get a fov option. Game fov was nauseating even played on a TV so had to use cheat engine on PC to increase it.

No it was just a comment to getting a gaming PC and a console. I’ve had a PS3 and PS4 for just the exclusives and encountered the drawbacks as a PC gamer used to PC performance being forced to use a console for the exclusives. So console is not an area I’m unfamiliar with, and personally over two console generations I found my PC to be the better living room experience, since PS3 and PS4 fell short of performance expectations.
So this gen being able to not bother with one and just opt for only a hdmi cable was a dream come true as opposed to PC gaming and console combo. And looking at the console games that ended up trapped to being only playable on the console it was released while PC games I bought during the same time frame being playable and upscaling with the hardware to run better has made me more satisfied with my PC game purchases.
But those people are already using consoles because they find PC too confuse. This advice is for people who already have a gaming PC. Seems a waste of money to get something that can play triple a titles and then just relegate it to working on only a monitor and picking up a console to only play on the TV.
That’s what at least a $1000+ and then another S500-$700 and needing to buy games for another platform and internet subscription? Maybe doubling dipping on the same game along the way? I don’t see the selling point for a PC gamer.
It was even worse the previous two generations to do that since games running at 60 fps was a rarity so if you had a gaming PC it was the best device to actually take full advantage of the resolution and TV refresh rate. Otherwise it meant going nearly two whole decades of 30 and sometimes sub 30 fps gaming.
And now Sony games come to the PC after a delay and Xbox exclusives is no longer a thing. There’s less incentive than before for a PC gamer to put money into a console.
Unless your PC is really far away why bother getting a console then having to buy another set of games for it over a simple fiber optic hdmi cable to push a 4k/120 signal?
I’ve seen up to 30M hdmi 2.1 cables which ends up being cheaper. Especially if you already have a gaming PC.
Doesn’t last as long as regular laptops either with how poor OS support is in comparison. Phones have felt like disposable tech compared to regular computing devices, since once a device stops getting security updates it’s not really something you want use for stuff like passwords or banking like you did when you first got it. Phones need to get better in that area.
I’m waiting for it to get to Westworld quality haha
Title is weird with how it could be interpreted to mean mtx was $1 billion.
So for people who might be confused
150 million dollars from in-game microtransactions.
Oh sweet finally a competitor with not 1 but 2 TouchPads! I hope this eventually leads to some third party coming out with a steam controller with all the deck inputs.
Living room isn’t a selling point for me since I have a fiber optic hdmi hooked up to the TV that allows me to not have to have my PC next to the TV. All I do is grab a controller and wireless keyboard like the K400.
Getting a console and having to buy games for it would be money wasted for me when I already have a unified library and am able to either play at the desk, play in the livingroom , or continue on from the Steam Deck.
It’s an ecosystem and no need for having to have games for different hardware.
Pretty crazy how they botched the success they had with the 360 so badly. Exclusives was what always mattered to me when it came to consoles and they just haven’t impressed in that department since then. Many quality triple a titles have come out every year but Xbox just couldn’t manage to come up with any new IPs that caught people’s eyes and missed on existing ones even with all that money.
PC is like 3 consoles in one with it getting Xbox games, Sony games on delay, and emulating Nintendo games. Can use mouse or game pad without needing blessing of devs on a game by game basis. And is a productivity device too that can be used for stuff like coding, video editing, 3d modeling, etc.
They’ve finally seen the light. Just took several console generations until a console that started consistently delivered options above 30 happened. Now maybe they understand why PC gamers kept begging for PC ports to escape the 30 fps that was forced on them even if they owned a console.
My PS4 last gen collected dust majority of the year and that had a way stronger library of actual exclusives games released for the system that weren’t remasters. So PS5 and it’s current library of exclusives ignoring that they get released to the PC has been sad. Not been an impressive generation.
And probably downloaded from random sketchy website ad.
Maybe idea as a concept popped up 8 years ago but actual development didn’t start until years later.
I know how capitalism works… I was just sharing my thoughts on the situation of a company knowingly adjusting the algorithm in a positive direction for one demographic but a negative for another showing a clear awareness of impact. Not sure why you are so worked up about tiktok getting criticized too. Whatever.
Uhhh… I don’t think you got my point for why I also included Facebook and Twitter at the end as examples of domestic companies also willingly allowing harmful societal trends.
Money being a reason doesn’t absolve and provide a convient out and let companies do whatever they want without consequence or criticism. I put them all in the camp of willingly selling out a worse society for profit, and whether a country sees that as a win for them or not doesn’t change that.
There’s a bigger factor at play which I think is barrier to entry. Now you got individuals or small team of devs being able to publish games themselves on places like Steam, and add to the already huge amount of products that are competing with each other for sales. Used to be in the past when barrier was high these large publishers could gate keep, but now they can’t. And they have to fight ants too instead of just other few whales.
And these small ants have games that catch hype despite being lower budget and worse graphics. It’s a different landscape now. Even reviewers aren’t just some few large outlets they can control anymore, but individuals spread across sharing their opinions and discoveries on social media and places like Steam reviews. Much harder now to control products like in the past.
It’s easier than ever for anyone to publish games. Not the old days anymore when a few publishers controlled the market of who could and couldn’t sell and would get promoted or not. More competion is going to drive down prices. Being able to charge high prices is more a luxury that would have been possible back in the past when consoles ruled supreme as opposed now with barrier to entry having gotten so low.
I think theirs will be when rollable phone tech is more polished. The folding stuff with the bulkier phone and creases while impressive tech looks outdated due to what people wish it could be like.
