    Series X Refresh and Next Generation Xbox Hardware

    Are they too late to the party? They wouldn't need to sell that many units to be deemed a success if we actually deem the Steam Deck a success. What will they need to sell like 7 million units total to match Steam Deck sales? If they can get a decent APU for a decent price and it can play the...

    Digital Foundry Article Technical Discussion [2024]

    I don't imagine the 4700s would perform similar to a 3600. Too many variables preventing the 4700s from reaching its full performance on a PC when comparing it to a 3600. Yeah it may have higher bandwidth, but also has higher latency because if the gddr. I'd be curious to know how the PS5 APU...

    PS5 Pro *spawn

    The launch of current consoles clearly gave us insight that plenty of people are willing to pay $800+ for a new console. I would consider that number to be minimum 3 million people so I do find it disingenuous to say such a device wouldn't sell in the millions. At such a high price I do...

    Kotaku has died, the owners want to convert it into a web for guides.

    Game guides largely exist in the form of wiki pages for more played games. Usually each mission, level, etc. will have its own page with a walkthrough. It's my primary method of getting help these days, especially with open world games.

    PS5 Pro *spawn

    PS5 pro getting SFS? There's a recent patent about asset aware data blah blah blah. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20230390638A1/ Looks like it could possibly be used to implement SFS. Though I'm probably reading the patent wrong. This may be something they're looking into for the...

    PS5 Pro *spawn

    Do you honestly think GTA VI will be solely limited to 30 fps on PS5 Pro? No 40 fps mode?

    PS5 Pro *spawn

    It might just come down to the AI upscaling and the RT performance. If both prove to be a tangible upgrade then it could be quite potent even with the meager specs. But if the RT performance doesn't actually end up being 2-3x it's likely a wash from that standpoint. I'm interested in learning...

    Steam

    Myst has the advantage that it was point and click, and also came out at the time when content on CD's didn't use up all the space they could. So a game with a bunch of pretty images that filled up the disc came along that didn't require complex commands it was an easy impulse purchase for...

    Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

    Does that article define what a computer is? It's unclear if to me if we can use their definition of computer as the same as a PC in the same context as being used in this thread. It appears the article lumps laptops and PC's as part of their definition for a computer. Do tablets count toward...

    Yuzu NSW emultor legally terminated by Nintendo *spawn

    Was any of this Yuzu stuff in violation of Nintendo trademarks? If so then that's one big reason to pursue legal action against Yuzu.

    Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

    True. $500 isn't what it used to be but it's still $500. It's still half of $1,000 so it will still have that as a psychological barrier to being purchased by a large portion of consumers. If their pay got upgraded to increase ahead of inflation it may not be that big of a deal but since that...

    Switch 2 Speculation

    It depends if I'm on the go or not. Some weeks it's mostly mobile then there are other weeks where I keep it locked like 80% of the time I'm playing it. My son also uses his switch the same way. Plays it in the car and in the bus but will play it docked when he arrives home. So maybe that...

    2024 may not be kind for game developers.

    Sony still has an opportunity to grab a large portion of gamers under the age of 16. But that won't be with keeping this one piece of software exclusive to Playstation. Like seriously. Before they gut it close down Media Molecule I just want them to release Dreams on more platforms. Put it...

    Switch 2 Speculation

    I'm still hoping for a more robust hybrid system from Nintendo. Like an actual console that will also be a docking station. Bit more power when both devices are combined. The mobile unit can be called the Thwitch. And the console/docking station can be called the Thwii.

    Predict: Next gen console tech (10th generation edition) [2028+]

    Yeah that's the thing I don't understand about AMD. One would think the market for APU's would allow for beefier ones on the desktop with a healthy margin. Strix Halo seems like a product I'd like to buy if they ever get around to releasing it. But still, one would think we could have had a...
