Gay as FOOK 1,415 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Another thing that muddies the next gen waters is the fact that it's pretty difficult to illustrate the generational leap via YouTube. Graphics aren't everything and you need a great TV set - I get it - but 4k 60fps with ray tracing does look fucking incredible, and simply isn't possible on One/PS4 era systems. If you look at the tech they're putting in these new systems versus their relative cost versus the fact that we're only seeing launch titles so far via lower quality videos then the whole thing starts to seem a bit more reasonable. Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and Perfect Dark Zero were 360 launch titles. PS4 had Call of Duty: Ghosts, a Killzone, the sports games. It's always been cross generational shite right out of the gate for console launches the last few years. The whole S Vs. Series X argument's definitely an interesting one, and I'm not Digital Foundry, but from what I understand the ~velocity architecture is made for this kind of stuff. It allows next gen games to be built and then suitably optimised depending on the system you're playing it on. It's just all over the place for awhile. Cyberpunk on Series X is a One game. It will look slightly better, but it's not the Series X full whack upgrade. That comes next year. Thankfully CJ Projekt are doing the upgrades for both Cyberpunk and Witcher for free if you've already bought them. That's pure class, in today's marketplace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering if Sony are getting an actual upgraded version with extra work done to it. Funnily enough they’ve just announced it’s coming to PS4 on November 10th and the PS5 on March 2nd Dame Da Ne Edited October 6, 2020 by TildeGuy~! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Danger 3,296 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 I don’t suppose anyone knows much about Amazon returns? I’ve managed to buy two fucking Series S one from Curry’s and one from Amazon Spain. I’d like to return the Spanish one but don’t fancy getting hit with a big fuck off returns charge. Anyone had any experience with this sort of thing? Also, as this is only vaguely next gen related where’s the questions thread? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I negated this problem by selling one of the excess Xbox’s and making £50 in the process. I felt like a massive cunt, especially reading all the snotty messages from people who “Won’t pay £300 when it’s £250 in the shops” (fair enough) but I also felt like a cool black market smuggler. I basically began the next gen as Han Solo. Now to descend in to Jabba... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Danger 3,296 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 ****DOUBLE POST WANKER ALERT!!!**** Apologies for being a clueless fuckwit. My Series S arrives today and as it was purchased from Amazon Spain I’m guessing I’ll just have to set it to UK region and have done with it? Will I be able to buy UK Live Gold and Gamepass without doing any VPN shenanigans? Obviously the plug will need swapping but the power output won’t blow it up or anything right? Would anyone like a Werther’s Original? Gamer Dad out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Danger 3,296 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Sold the other one for £300 the other day. Easier sell than “IT COMES WITH A FOREIGN PLUG!”. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Danger 3,296 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Quick update on the Series S. Despite the systems lower spec’s and tiny demeanour, Peggle has never looked so good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The King Of Swing 1,178 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 So got an email from studio yesterday saying they would have the PS5 in stock today and thought I'd take a shot. Site crashed, immediately sold out. Good luck to anyone desperate to get one for Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harry Wiseau 222 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) I'd pre-ordered a PS5 for the child from Amazon, on the "track your order" thing it's gone through all the usual "arriving at depo" etc and was within fifteen miles of my house but then at 7.29 this morning - Delay in delivery due to external factors - it's been nicked hasn't it Edited November 19, 2020 by Harry Wiseau Quote Link to post Share on other sites
