Oh boy I can't wait for all the consolefags to talk about how great ray tracing is after a year+ of LOL RAYTRACING posting

The Haptic stuff more than likely will be used with stuff like Dreams or VR titles. The technology is really kinda limited when it comes to normal games outside of maybe having a door puzzle where you would have to stick your finger in runes and trace them to feel the friction or some shit.

Its going to be the exact same LRA that the swtich joycons use. Its pretty neat but requires quite a bit of work to do it right. Or you can just be lazy and use sound samples. The latter should make it easy for older games to get a patch to support it but I'm betting that will almost never happen.

Well, I hope haptic triggers and touch pads are here to stay. It's weird to think about how you can go buy an Xbox One X today and get a controller that really doesn't do anything a 20-year-old Dualshock 1 couldn't. I think the only inputs an Xbone controller has that a Dualshock 1 didn't was a home button and analog triggers.

Its actually less than that. The DS2 introduced analog buttons and shoulders. The xbox had that feature too iirc. Sony dropped that with the ps4 (have fun playing mgs2 with that). I think MS dropped it with the 360.

The touchpad is nice but its location on the DS4 sucks. If sony excercises some common sense and moves the left joystick to the primary position then the touchpad will be 10x easier to use. Then all they'll need to do is copy the vita dpad and reshape the trigger/shoulder buttons to have the best controller.

MS might try out force feedback sticks. Although it'll probably cost so much that it'll be some elite controller type deal, or just a pack-in with the Xbox II xXx_pr0MLG420_xXx edition they'll be doing.

well, I live in a region that allows SRW V to be released. But as far as I am concerned, even with VPN you can't buy SRW V unless you have a payment processor that is situated in regions affected, mainly SEA, Anyway, I believe that there are people uses VPN to install DOAX VV and still haven't got banned.

ah so it's a similar situation to the japanese PSN store which was impossible to buy anything from it (the paypal to fill your wallet was also locked to japanese credit cards) unless you used the prepaid cards from play-asia

bummer i guess
 
The haptic triggers seem kinda cool. The steam controller has a great feature that allows you to customize the haptics of the triggers and touchpads. It might be interesting if Sony tried something like that.

I bet those controllers are going to cost an arm and a leg, which is a real shame. While I play on PC most faggots in the fighting game community play sony exclusively because those gooks across the sea are assholes.

Controllers in general have become fucking expensive

Xbox Custom Elite are well over 100 bucks

Switch charges $80 for two joycons and then an extra $30 for the joycon charger if you want it in controller mode

Although the Dual Shock 5 stuff doesn't sound that bad because they're not touting the features of controller membranes, material components, or connectors which means it's probably going to be around the same price of the DS4.

People knew the xbox elite controllers were going to be costly when they were promoting synthetic woodgrain deco made with real silver brushed in.
 
Controllers come with all kinds of shit these days which is why they're so bloody expensive. Joy Cons have HD Rumble, an NFC Card Reader, an IR sensor, straps and a 20 hour battery life. And drifting sticks but that comes for free lul. That Charger is definitely Jewish though.

It is. For example, CPUs have pins that need to line up with where you put it in the motherboard. They're very hard to break nowadays, but back in the day they were huge, it was very easy to break them and if you break even one the entire CPU is useless. There weren't easy video guides on how to build one, either.
Click to expand...
Nah, even old as fuck CPUs like a 486 were pretty easy to swap. You'd have to be an absolute retard to bend them.
And there were pretty good resources on how to build your own PC, like whole magazines dedicated to it with nice well illustrated guides on everything.
 
Consoles aren't even about exclusive games anymore, but rather cross play and exclusive other entertainment features which aren't even exclusive in ways that matter or in general anymore as well.
 
Literally the only way I get this on release is if the new Guilty Gear is on it and even then Id just get it on PC rather than spend $500 on a game with no new releases and no PS3 games... Still.

Is this piece of shit actually going to have PS4 compatibility or is it cloud based?
Click to expand...
It's hardware based PS4 backwards compatibility built in, you can still use the same cloud storage between ps4 and ps5 if you choose.

Since it's hardware this will make hacking it easily, you can probably run an already known exploit through the PS4 and get into the PS5 that way.

I might actually buy one once I can get it for around $200 or less, never bothered getting a PS4
 
MonHun and weebgames, especially Tales, go on PC and/or Switch now. Playstation is
o u t m o d e d

If I want a TV based entertainment center when the PS4 is outdated, I'd rather get an Amazon Fire TV. The cheap ones are $50 and the cubes are $120. Way better deal than a console.

Even with cost taken out of the equation, I'm not exactly tech-savvy, so I'm not sure how well building my own gaming PC will go.


It might be a worthy long-term goal though.

It is an excellent long-term goal. A computer is a powerful tool for any individual willing to learn how to use it.

As far as actually building a computer... it's literally easier than LEGO bricks. You can't put anything in the wrong slot, everything is color-coded, and you only need minor software knowledge related to whatever operating system you've chosen. The hardest thing for most people to overcome is being able to sit down and focus on the task at hand. That's a real challenge anymore for a lot of people.

you can get a dualshock 4 for 30-40€ over here, it's on sale every few months (lowest being on sony's own days of summer thing where you can all kinds of stuff cheap).

personally I'm more pissed about the planned obsolescence. while a ds4 works with a ps3 it's more of a hack and has even basic shit like rumble missing, won't be surprised if sony is gonna pull an equal stunt with the dualshock 5. gamepads just wear out over time, turning your console into a fancy brick, because I doubt sony will update the ps3 to work with a ds5

That's the most exceptional comparison I tend to see when it comes to the topic of PC building.
Click to expand...

while I don't necessarily agree it's as easy as lego, watching a video and putting the gpu in the only slot that fits is literal fisher-price tier.
even in the worst case just have a friend build that shit one evening in exchange for a pizza and a few beers.

steam itself checks origin, keysellers usually don't. steam doesn't care where they key comes from or if you use a vpn as long as you don't try to "scam" by buying the russian version or try to cheat.

a steam wallet card should work either way.

buy a psn card. for example both sony and microsoft are super exceptional when it comes to europe, apparently moving 10km east/west at the wrong spot is too complicated to handle.
still pissed the GuP game never got released over here, and fuck creating an extra account for the dlc.

Nah, I tried out of goodness in my heart, I bought a SRW copy to gift someone of out the region, and I can't send it, because the recipient is out of the available regions. Its totally locked in for JP/SEA regions only
