Oh great. Nothing is safe from the Trans Am agenda.

So, according to popular belief it’s really a penis size simulator!

Casual driving without pressure or violence? They can’t be the first, can they?

Definitely not. Test Drive Unlimited 2 leaps to mind, which while it certainly had racing events and racing related content in it, you could also just drive around doing nothing in particular as much as you wanted.

There are several other racing oriented games that nevertheless had open worlds and you’re never actually forced to race anybody in any of them, albeit usually at the expense of sacrificing any game progression and thus having a rather limited vehicle selection. Need For Speed Underground 2 and Forza Horizon, for instance.

PurpleTentacle,

The same is true for almost any open world game with vehicles. Casually driving a car in GTA while obeying the traffic rules has been a thing from the very beginning.

This still feels different somehow, though.

Lifekraft,

Snowrunner is a little bit about that too.

Just give me a destruction derby mode please.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I just want rush hour traffic after being awake for three days in heavy stimulants mode.

Why not just play Wreckfest?

Nah im pretty sure my pc cooling fans are a bit louder than my ps5 ones, and they’re not that high pitched.

Waiting for Endless Space 3 so bad

Space 4X are very stagnant as well

What a fucking moronic statement.

Really excited for this game. 100% getting it

Bosht, do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'

I’ll be honest I find the ray tracing shit s gimmick that eats up too much resource. I’d much rather just have some awesome games to play, with good looks or not. PC gaming for me has always been about variety anyway. The console looking better never meant anything.

ChapulinColorado,

I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.

Katana314,

Its supporters claim that in some ways it’s meant to make development easier; that it simplifies many lighting tricks devs handle manually.

I don’t necessarily think it’s a strong enough point since it’s often throwing hardware at a creativity/effort problem.

Bosht,

I’d actually never heard this angle but sounds legit. Cutting corners sounds pretty typical of talking head yltyoes that want to try to cut costs no matter what.

smeg, do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'

We’d get a pretty good game format OS—if the players could agree to come together—and then licence that out. Just like we do with Blu-ray, just like we do with the compact disk—and let people compete on content.

I know this is the most Lemmy comment it’s possible to make, but oh, if only there were an OS that already exists that you could run games on and that didn’t even need licencing out!

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

FreeBSD, right ?

smeg,

ReactOS. Or TempleOS if you’re feeling holy.

captainlezbian,

Temple only runs family friendly games. And the entire doom series, which has been deemed sufficiently holy

not for nothing, the one-standard-multiple-manufactuters thing has been done before with sony and microsoft both involved. the real truth of this article is that the people yearn for MSX

joking aside i'd love to see something like that come back, because you get the convienence of a set standard that makes games Just Work like they do on consoles while offering way more options to consumers. i guess once the floodgates open on third party steamOS machines we'll be halfway there

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

By sheer compatibility, we’re well more than halfway there.

commander, (edited ) do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'

I play PC because my copy of StarCraft from like 2000 still works and I can use any computer/gaming peripheral in history that still physically works to this day on a PC. A PC is more compatible with PS4 peripherals/gamepads than a PS5. Plus not paying for the privilege to play multiplayer games that a developer is hosting in AWS

The experience being so similar between a PC and a console is more an indictment on locked down PCs as consoles than against PC. E-waste

magic_smoke,

My PC is so backwards compatible it can run games meant for OS’s my OS’s main competitor, and their ancestors as well.

Better yet it can literally run those OS’s over things like KVM/Qemu and DOSBox.

I guess Nintendo made that Wii container for Wii U like once lol.

SupraMario,

You can also upgrade it part by part, and not have to let the entire thing get replaced every cycle.

To be fair, connecting some of the hardware I used in the 80ies is not straight-forward. But not impossible.

Cocodapuf,

Bam! Fucking mic drop!

Very unbiased source there.

I’m primarily a PC gamer but I buy ALL THE VIDEO GAME THINGS, so I have every console that comes out, even if I’m only going to play one game on it (looking at you, Returnal). Who is he trying to convince? Cause he’s full of shit.

@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I can definitely hear the difference between my PC and my PS5.

My PC’s fans are way louder than my PS5.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

Stop buying cheap fans?

My last two PCs I built were top of the line and they’re basically silent just with Noctua air cooling.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

It’s literally the GPU’s (a 1660 Super) fan that’s loudest. I can’t change that out, afaik. The case fans are Noctuas and the CPU has a Corsair AIO liquid cooler.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

Ah yeah not much you can do about that unless you put an aftermarket cooler on it and that’s a PITA.

    LOL, imagine thinking you’d ever actually have a wide selection of in-stock GPUs to choose from and wouldn’t have to settle for what you can get.

    Agent_Karyo,
    @Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

    Surprised it’s your GPU fans that are the loudest, I barely hear my 3080 and I regularly heard the CPU cooling fans, but then again I most play strategy games that heavily bottlenecked by CPU.

    GPU fan noise is not something that’s easily fixable, unlike CPU cooling.

    SkunkWorkz,

    You can just buy those adapter cables that lets you connect PWM case fans to your GPU and just jury rig the fans onto your GPU. Not the best looking setup. But I rather have a silent PC than a good looking pc. Like you hear your PC constantly while you only look at your PC once in a while.
