PS.. is it 5? I think we're on 5 now. PS5

computer monitors generally don't have HDR either, unless theyve started adding that recently

I bought a huge beautiful 5K monitor that only has USB-C inputs and can't be used with any console, AMA

how do you use it?

i already went through this whole thing a couple years ago when i got my ps4 pro and the cheapest solution by far was to buy a tv rather than upgrading my pc monitor. if you dont have room in your living space for one then uhh you can pay 4x as much for an equivalent monitor or just stick to good old 1080p it looks just fine with the 4k supersampling

It works great connected to my stupid Mac laptop that can't run any cool games

xp

sounds like it might work for me then! i'm on the wrong thread for asking about displays (because i have a mac mini in mind)

4k sucks for computing though, its really a tv spec. theres a reason why everyone gets 1440p for their pc monitor

4k or higher are excellent for non-gaming. the pixel doubling or proportional scaling, like what Apple has been doing on their high res displays for a long time, makes text much smoother and imo much easier on the eyes

oh i guess if theres software to handle it properly now. wasn't the case yet a few years ago at least on pc

might just be an apple thing still?

Windows 10 works well, although not all older apps scale properly and look a little blurry. I use a 4k monitor for work with everything not doubled but scaled to 125/150% and it’s nice for all the things I use

I stopped paying attention to PC gaming/graphics specs a while back and mainly game on PS4, but I noticed my win10 laptop the other day had a toggle on it asking me if I wanted to try to make apps look less blurry. Like why the fuck would I _want_ them blurry? Just unblur the thing by default, Bill, you tit.

I have a 4K UHD 2160p monitor for my macbook air & it's excellent

after seeing the "difference" between the 60fps performance mode and 30fps fidelity mode in demons souls i feel confident in declaring that any game this upcoming gen that doesn't let you run it at 60fps is a scam

we're getting into audiophile snake oil territory of what extra detail you get running the game at 30

Hmm, it depends. Ray tracing seems expensive computationally. I could see things like draw distance, texture detail and other such things being a lot better at 30fps.

The audiophile snake oil is surely in the "you really notice the 120 fps" direction?

xp sure, i just don't think you can justify not including the performance mode as an option anymore now that the games aren't cpu-bound

1440p checkerboard looks pretty much identical to native 4k at tv viewing distance whereas 30 vs 60fps is a massively felt difference in action games

more info on the "cards" and jumping right into quests. looks like new Spider-Man supports it!

I adore weird-looking consoles, chief among them, the purple GameCube, so I like that the PS5 looks like a giant, high-tech eclair.

I should measure but my dated tv console has a shelf wide enough for a ps4 plus a stack of disc boxes on the side. I think I relocate the boxes and I’m good

If eating Bugsnax turns you into a Bugsnax, is the only way to turn back into a Grumpus eating other Grumpuses?

15000 people ahead of me in the online queue in Curry's this morning was enough to convince me not be be an early adopter.

anybody got one of these yet and wanna rep for it?

I just spent an hour getting FF7 remake on my ps4 and i wouldn't be mad at something that loads faster.

i'm waiting for it to have real games

my buddy has one and he's enjoying playing ps4 games on it, lol

apparently there's drift problems with the controller so i know im waiting a while before i take the plunge

i'm waiting for it to have real games

same. even a single must-have game will probably be enough for me. and, i guess, trying to find a ps5, if they're still hard to find at that point

i don't think there's even anything in my zone announced yet besides FF16 and who knows how long that will take to show up

my sense was that the appeal is the ability to play ps4 games without loadtimes. and bugsnax.

thats not enough for the price of early adoption!

i agree! but some of you have more money than me.

Idc about load times, so I'm not even gonna think about it until Elden Ring. Even then, I wish I could never buy a new system, but I have to imagine that it will be optimized for PS5.

I've tried to get it a bunch of times when I see it pop up on wario64 but I've never managed to get one in my cart before the bots get there.

We have one, have only been playing the 4K versions of existing games that have it for now, like Destiny and No Mans Sky - everything loads real fast and looks really good. Fan can be hella loud when it has to kick in tho.

I have been using a PS5 controller with my PC and pretending

It's a good controller imo

can pc games access the fancy haptics features like the trigger tension?

not as of yet

basically feels like a nicer PS4 controller overall, only no one has spilled coca-cola in my ps5 controller

Oh do the PS5 controllers work with Steam controller maps same as PS4 do?

Fan can be hella loud when it has to kick in tho.

nooooooooo i thought this was the whole point of making it a meter wide, to avoid this!

i am disappointed sony

yeah iirc all the first impressions were like "its so much quieter than the ps4" but maybe it doesnt hold up over time

I should caveat what I said - most of the time theres no fan noise! but when it kicks in, its not so much that its loud, but its ... distinct? Quite enginey-sounding, like a 2stroke mower in the distance.

Playstation getting its own Hades: https://kotaku.com/returnal-feels-like-an-actual-ps5-game-1846735864

I was up late watching streams of this. A complete stunner of a game. Just awesome.

That game looks pretty neat, and/or a future cult classic. I have no idea what thought goes into these rollouts but it's wild the PS5 came out with next to no bench. Then again, as I understand it, the early days of PS4 were light on must-play games, too. Which of course begs the question, if it takes a couple of years for a system to get going, then why buy one at all in the early days? I suppose that problem was accidentally solved this year through scarcity, but still.

Anyway, this reminds me that I have Hades but haven't played it yet!
