See the uneasy confrontation at the beginning where Alex took it personally about “liking to talk”. He’s so been schooled by Richard over the recent Colin tweets.Actually John schooled Alex, and said NO, Blooborne wouldn't run better on Xbox. And it was satisfaying to watch.

I hope Alex got all the shit in the world for those tweets. He's supremely ignorant and an asshole.

"Schooled" him by saying it doesn't work and he has no clue why, then Rich chimes in with the actual facts, Alex redeemed.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Useless is a strong word, realistically there aren't a lot of games like ER that drop below 48 this gen so far.
This gen has mostly been good for 60 FPS games till now.

DF’s reaction to the time trials is identical to my initial reaction. Only after more pondering the realisation of all AAA games being playable on the service strikes as something big. ALL being the key word here.
Potential elimination of fomo, backlogs & lowering the barrier of entry like with f2p is highly attractive.
If Sony pulls it off I can see many changing their minds.

Only the high end. My undervolt profile for 3060ti is about 175watts and matches or exceeds both consoles. My 3700x is also undervolted.

Yeah, that trophy room they showed off back in 2007 was such a great idea; it would‘ve made me actually care about trophies or achievements, which I currently don‘t care about at all. I don‘t understand why something like that was never implemented. It can‘t be that hard? It would‘ve been even cooler once VR came around. Such a wasted opportunity…

Not an uncommon thing to see. Many PC players hate Sony both because they don't release all their games on PC and because their games look great on "inferior hardware" because they have a massive budget (an that matters a lot more for the end result than power these days).
If you ask for the best examples of graphically impressive PC games they I'll usually show up with Cyberpunk, RDR2, Marbles demo and Unreal 5 demos.
PC was never about graphics, the best PC games run well on anything. Dude loves Crysis of all games, the epitome of that sort of mentality, Crysis ain't even a good game, mediocre at best and run like shit.

Of course I'm talking high end. There are low power solutions but they are not interesting for gaming.
They can be pretty decent but this is a gaming discussion so we care the most about cutting edge performance.
Also 900w is a requirement for future consoles. Current ones couldn't get there even if they tried.

I dont know what Alex is so upset about. As the resident PC expert, it was his job to hold devs accountable for shitty PC ports with stuttering. It is 2022, and hes only just now thinking of doing a video on why stuttering might be an issue? How about you slap a DO NOT BUY on the title of every single PC review he does?
Things have gotten this bad because these PC youtubers and tech journalists never really bothered devs about this. You need PS5 and XSX console equivalent settings? Off to Remedy we go. Any comment on why the game runs like shit on initial install? Crickets.
Even now he's walking on eggshells trying to make excuses for devs saying that this isnt easy. Yes, shocking. Video game development is hard. Programming is hard. But when you are paying $60 for a game and $2000 for your PC parts, omg my homework is so hard is not an excuse these mulibillion dollar companies get to make. FFS. Grow some balls and be the critic you were hired to be. They are not your friends.

I once sold my PC because I was so frustrated with stutter (that was like 5 years ago), trying to solve it was draining the joy of playing on PC for me. These days I have different mentality, so it doesn't bother me as much, but it seems like the issue got worse since DX12, a lot of PC games behave like emulators, with shader caching issues and other bullshit like that.

Not a fan of it either just being on the highest paid tier, it should be on all tiers
Pay the most money to get a demo of a game you then have to actually buy
Yes because that's all the highest-paid tier offers?
I actually agree that the timed game trials would be nice on all tiers. It's just your reasoning here that's bunk.

Um no. I care about gaming discussions and they are not required to be about high end. I doubt there will ever be 900watt consoles. Especially since 175 watts right now out preforms the consoles.

so the Steam Deck screen can, in real time, change refresh rates to anything between 40hz and 60hz...?
uhm, maybe a stupid question but what keeps it from straight up supporting VRR at that point?
they literally have a piece of software that can read the current framerate of a game in real time and a piece of software that can change the refresh rate in real time... what am I missing here?

I guess I should have been more precise: Most people here care about high end.
My post also said that I doubt they get to 900W.

You guys are worried about next gen GPUs reaching 900W.
We can already to that on 3090Ti.

I don't get their take on this at all! Especially when literally no one else in the gaming world is doing anything like it. Seems odd. Feels a bit.....entitled.

100% truth here. It was the same way we (me included) were slamming MS on "Smart Delivery" before the Series X came out. We didn't understand it. We clowned the name, but we ended up clearly wrong. Many will realize that they were wrong and that Sony was right with this game trials thing (if Sony actually does it right).
And people seem to forget that it's a 2-hour minimum, not a locked 2 hours. So, some companies may do 4, 5, or even a 6-hour game trial. My only question for Sony is, do we have to buy the game to unlock the PS trophies that we get during the game trial?

As a business perspective, they would be clever to allow you to unlock what you do in the trials, that way you’re encouraged to buy the games for the rest of them.

It has the potential to change a lot.
- Eliminates a lot of pre-orders. Why buy when you can try every game first?
- Encourages more digital purchases. If you wait to release day to try a game and like it, are you then going to wait for it to be shipped to you physically?
- Could hurt more established series that typically get strong sales, but have weak gameplay and coast on sales because of a well known IP (Assassin's Creed, Battlefield, etc.)
- Could benefit more niche series that people are reluctant to purchase, but have strong gameplay.

I think your 3rd bullet point will have most of those game trials coming out weeks before Sony's deadline timeframe. I think it needs to be on the PSN Store within the first 90 days after the game is released.
