I thought they still made games for the non series X/S/One but apparently they stopped in 2023.
Well either way I felt the same way about the original one. I got mine in 2018 and I’ve played less than 100 hours of games on it, and never actually bought any games for it (I got it second hand with about 6 games).
In general I think AAA games just aren’t worthwhile, let alone AAA exclusives. There’s a lot of great indie games, but that requires going through the sludge of indie games.
Why would MS care if you already have a PC? The console sale itself doesn’t really make them money, it’s the games. And if you’re still buying their games on PC they still get their (albeit lower) cut.
Like, we can obviously still follow news and whatnot
I stopped following the news first, then largely lost interest in new games after that. After TotalBiscuit passed I haven’t seen a single thing about video game news or reviews. If there’s something I’m interested in I might skim through a review, but that’s the most I do.
…I completely forgot that was even a thing. It came out and nobody really cared. Only the 770/750 got love, and the a380 saw some appreciation for being the quicksync addon card.
Well regardless it’s the same MSRP as the A770 post price drop, and still outperforms it.
Most of the demand is for Windows. So if your choice is to spend resources (money) where demand is, or hope that you can possibly create demand where there isn’t any currently.
It would be incredibly stupid for Intel to abandon the dGPU market after spending all this money on it. As long as Battlemage turns out alright (basically it’s only goal) I doubt it will go away.
They cut the die size nearly in half so they’re no longer blowing a fuck ton of money on a $200 GPU. As long as utilization of the silicon goes up it should be fine.
I actually really dislike DLSS and FSR. At least to me the upscaling is pretty noticeable (but not the end of the world), but the artifacts that it causes drive me insane. I haven’t tested Onion Ring with it. But for example FH5 I get all sorts of ghost images on my screen and they go away as soon as I turn off DLSS.
Also weirdly on my laptop I got worse performance. I’m assuming that’s because I’m 100% CPU limited and there is a bit of CPU overhead to running DLSS.
“One of the things about Horse Armour that you have to remember is Bethesda, I believe, was the very first company to do downloadable content expansions,” Nesmith told us. “Nobody had done that before for the platforms. We literally pioneered that. And so Bethesda didn’t know what the hell it was doing at the time. We didn’t know!”
Even in single player games I’ve been setting my PS5 to performance mode.
Like a tried GTA 5 in graphics mode and just no I can’t do it. After being used to 100+ FPS on PC at all given times I can’t go back to 60 or less on a console. Solid 60 is fine, but graphics mode likes to take advantage of freesync and dip below.
