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

PS5, obv

Yeah, honestly seeing even PS4 Pro running 4K in person was pretty stunning.

Which means I will likely be upgrading my TV soon too. *sigh*

it'll still look better either way since downsampling from 4k eliminates aliasing (this is also why games always look better in youtube windows than full screen, a lot of the seams get supersampled away)

i'm finally getting kicked and dragged into the "multiple thousands of Ks" league, due to my macbook pro display busting a few days ago. thinking of getting a mac mini and then pairing it with a 4K display which i can also use for the PS5 i will inevitably buy soon

LMK if you can find a 4k 120hz monitor that's under $1000

will do, but i doubt it

THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST THING TO HAPPEN FOR FGC EVENTS THANKS TO THIS FEATURE ON #PS5.

120hz is for fps gamers, 60 is fine for mortals

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

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 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

*checks wario64 again*

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?
