Did you buy one?
Was it worth it?

No
No

>>725234849
It wasn't worth not buying it?

>>725234795 (OP)
Yes
Won't be until November 2026

>>725234795 (OP)
Yes and yes.

>>725234795 (OP)
>snoyshit garbage
Fuck no lol

A year ago? Might just be me, but if you asked me when it came out I would have said two three years ago, I don't know why.

>>725234795 (OP)
anyone else not buying a switch 2 until prime 4?

Bespoke

it came out already?

>>725234795 (OP)
no games

The real question is what software SIE has put out that warrants owning one? Microsoft is supporting the PS5 Pro better than they are.

>>725234795 (OP)
I bought one in February.
Yes, I've probably played it for around 600 hours total this year. It's been a fun time.

>>725235259
I dropped it as soon as I heard open world. Prime 4 WAS my only reason to invest in one, now its gone so fuck Nintendo and their open world. Anyone defending this shit needs to take a bullet.

>>725234795 (OP)
no, fuck sony lol

>>725234795 (OP)
B e s p o k e

>>725234907
There is no benefit at all to buying the Pro over the regular for GTA VI. It kind of made sense when it was supposed to come out Fall 2025, but right now it's to close new consoles release to care about it. Any version they release next year isn't going to be the definitive way to play it.

If I didn't have a current gen console I would buy a base PS5 close to release and the game on disc and then sell the shit when I beat the game

>>725235621
What did you play and what did you enjoy the most?

Console redpill

Sega
>Saturn had Hitachi SH-2 shit that hitachi gave to sega for extremely cheap because they couldn't find anyone else to buy it
>Dreamcast had Hitachi SH-4 and only console ever created that supports automatic order independent alpha blending.
>Plans to download Dreamcast games directly to the 40GB HDD, a feature that Xbox 360 realized

Sony
>PS2 had Kutaragi's Emotion Engine. PS3 had Kutaragi's CELL
>PS2 Emotion Engine and PS3 CELL were nightmares for programmers
>The original plan was for the PS3 not to have a traditional GPU. They were going to use the Cell for everything
>Sony has lost more than $3 billion on the PS3, console was a failure
>Mark Cerny is hired for PS4
>Mark Cerny wanted PS4, PS5, PS6 and PS7 to be AMD APUs because it was cheapest and easiest for programmers. any optimizations done for PS4 will just help PC get further ahead
>Unlike PC configurations, PS4, PS5 and PS6 uses fixed/standard hardware that the game can be specifically optimized for

Nintendo
>Gamecube graphics chip was made by ArtX, comprised of former SGI employees who worked on N64. ATI bought them shortly before the release of the Gamecube, hence the ATI branding
>The Switch uses an X1 Tegra, a 2015 tablet processor

Xbox
>original XBOX has an x86 Intel Pentium III processor means PC porting is dead simple
>Xbox was a huge financial risk for microsoft. Those PC components cost a fortune compared to the cheap RISC hardware of PS2 and GC. They lost $125 for each console unit sold. Using a hard drive as a game data cache was also something never done before back in the day. There was a ton of creativity involved in the making of the xbox.

TLDR
>Retro consoles had Japanese custom hardware
>Modern Consoles are now just budget AMD PCs

but nintendo is nvidia?

>>725234795 (OP)
I can't get over how the dude on the left looks like fucking Dopefish

>>725234795 (OP)
No, it's biggest selling point, PSSR, is absolute dog shit and often makes games look worse than the regular PS5 lmao.

>>725236118
I honestly don't know how Sony made a worse upscaler than FSR3, and this one was dedicated hardware to boot.

>>725234795 (OP)
that middle guy needs to wash his fucking hair
christ
at least the other 2 have it really short if not shaved bald so even if its not washed you cant really tell
if you are going to grow it out please have it presentable.

really grinds my gears to be totally desu with you.

>>725234795 (OP)
fucking hell they're hideous

>>725236118
I wish everyone give up on the whole fake frames bullshit and bring back good ol' x4/x8 MSAA. I don't know what happened with graphics that we suddenly became OK with $1000 GPUs generating blurry renders of frames and developers started optimizing experience under the assumption the user will want to see them. Input lag is thing that was absolutely never a problem on PC before fake frames became a thing.

>>725236585

It's Troonical Foundry, they are old and trans what do you expect.

What happened to SSAA?

I have a BeeCee

Stellar Blade, Astro's Playroom, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Astro Bot, Elden Ring + SotE, Stellar Blade again twice for platinum after Nikke DLC released, AI Limit, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered + FW DLC, Demon's Souls, and Scarlet Nexus completed.

Currently on Elden Ring Nightreign. Stellar Blade was my favorite.

based goyslop enjoyer

I did buy one and no it wasn’t worth so I just sold it and got the slim.

>>725236971
>What happened to SSAA?
In my experience SSAA sometimes makes the text look weird and MSAA shouldn't affect UI/text elements which makes it better

>>725237145
fr fr or something.

>>725235259
I'm not buying a shitch2 until there's is a exploit for free games

>>725237085
At least play the good From Software game: Armored Core 6. Haven't beat it yet myself, but I will come around at some point
And since you're a fellow slop enjoyer I can only recommend not skipping the FF7R part 1. Haven't gotten to Rebirth yet so no idea

I have to actively try to remember the PS5 and Series X even exist.

>>725236647
MSAA was always computationally expensive, you can't "go back" to MSAA when games already run like shit with upscaling and fake frames, running native res and then MSAA on top would just be slideshow territory.

>>725238685
It's the lost generation of video game consoles. Standout games that the consoles should be remembered for are missing.
Too long development cycles, live service slop along with huge budgets and way too high sales expectations have killed perfectly fine hardware. In the beginning of the generation, release gaps were blamed on Covid, but even years after it feels like we're still living in the Covid Era of gaming. PS5/Xbox Series S|X failed to take off.

>>725234795 (OP)
Yes.
No.

>>725239248
I agree with the sentiment but I keep seeing PS5 sales figures and apparently people are buying it at the same rate they bought PS4, which is insane to me because PS5 games don't even exist as far as I'm aware. Even the biggest games of this generation like Elden RIng, RE4 Remake, Baldur's Gate 3, Dad of War, etc. are on PS4. I don't know what the fuck anyone buys a new console for.

>>725238840
>games already run like shit with upscaling and fake frames
It's because developers have become accustomed to optimizing the shit to be played with upscaling solutions enabled. So many of them state the system requirements now with upscalers needed for 60+ fps. MSAA was never meant to be used with current hardware anyway. When you go back and play an old game with your new GPU you expect to be able to max it out and see the game in it's full glory. But if the game is designed to be played with upscalers it will take much longer before hardware catches up and MSAA option for highest fidelity possible isn't even present.

>>725234795 (OP)
no
yes

>>725239497
>PS5 sales figures and apparently people are buying it at the same rate they bought PS4
Sure, but Xbox sales have completely flatlined. PS5 is matching what PS4 did but a lot of people are giving up on Xbox and buying Sony instead. So Sony gets a surge, but overall Xbox S|X+PS5 are trailing 10-15 million behind Xbox One+PS4.
In other words, PS6 is cooked. We will be seeing cross gen games releasing on PS5 and PS6 until like 2035

PS5 is basically the budget Ryzen choice

>>725234795 (OP)
No and no.

never buyened one, everything is on pc

>>725235934
>Modern Consoles are now just budget AMD PCs
An improvement since devs no longer have to deal with complicated hardware

It seems very half assed compared to the PS4 Pro. Like some games are WORSE on the PS5 pro than they are on the base ps5. like how the fuck does that happen?

>>725234795 (OP)
What is this channel? Video game topics for 40+??

>>725235259
I'm not planning to get one until it gets the next mainline Zelda game. Prime 4 will be good enough on Switch 1. I think its 1080p 60fps on Switch 1.

>>725234795 (OP)
Wake me up when 8.00 gets a full exploit

>>725240598
That's what it's meant to be? Is there anything essentially wrong with it? The hardware for current gen is fucking great, the CPUs are closer to PC power than ever, all current gen consoles have super fast SSDs and decent GPU power, it's the software that turned out to be lackluster.

>>725240953
It used to be a great channel. You would just turn it up and watch Xbox vs PS autistic comparasions for fun. Now it's just a shitty talk show
