I thought Sony was going to announce crossplay. 😫

Mr_Commander2003d ago

i thought m$ was going to announce some games, what a shame, still empty.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH2003d ago

I thought you was going to announce a new joke, what a shame, still corny

LOGICWINS2003d ago

You must be a hit at parties!

StormSnooper2003d ago (Edited 2003d ago )

They already have cross play on select games. I love the Zap Branigen icon btw.

Keef: “Sir there is an emergency!”
Captain Zap Branigen: “come back when it’s a catastrophe”

PapaBop2003d ago (Edited 2003d ago )

^^^ I miss Futurama so much, so many great characters that deserve to still be on tv.

Zapp: I suffer from a very sexy learning disability, what's it called Kif?

Kif: Sexlexia

"Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's love: hard and fast!"

I could do Zapp quotes all day long lol

mkis0072003d ago

I wish Futurama had as many seasons as simpsons does. I could care less about Simpsons

DaCajun2003d ago

Wow all 3 came together onstage for a common goal unfortunately all the fanboys on here just can't get their heads out of there rears.

I started coming to this site back in 2009 when playing on the PS3 seemed like a crime and I defended it against the Xbox 360 fanboy even though I own a Xbox 360 also because the PS3 crowd back then just seemed to act more mature. The Xbox fanboys were extremely toxic back then. Now I only play on the PS4 console only but it just seems all those TOXIC xbox 360 fanboys are now TOXIC PS4 fanboys. WTH?

jelloaceomega2003d ago

Maybe Nintendo could published the next season of Futurama. to know if the crew really got stuck in the what if universe.

jagermaster6192003d ago

Thought Sony would be at e3......oh ps5 next year right? Hopefully they can make it to 4k this time and maybe we can have a brighter light on the controller with even less battery life!

Was expecting something about crossplay, but nonetheless this is amazing for the industry.

Purrfection2003d ago

Not when the guy on the left doesn't even look like he wants to be there or even plays games. What a cuddly fellow he is.

Zeke682003d ago

@ Purrfection
Better than smirky face in the middle at least.

Kribwalker2003d ago

the guy on the left looked like the type that would be upset about the Hentai censorship, he kinda looked like a creep lol

Nice moment for the gaming industry.......trashed on by a few petty individuals on n4g.

Gazondaily2003d ago

They keep talking about being united so maybe that's a sign that Sony will finally get its act together

Zeke682003d ago

Septic, do you get paid to troll Sony here at N4G ?? Serious question !

Gazondaily2003d ago

I'm always bemused when people accuse me this considering the make up of this site and the countless Sony fanboys constantly shitting on everything.

Zeke682003d ago

I didn't accuse you of anything ? I asked you a question because I see you in pretty much every Sony related article, even those with 100% Sony content so it's seems you A) Are paid to "troll" B) You are a really sad person who needs to search up everything Sony-related too, I para-phrase you here, shit on Sony.
For the record, I'm getting accused of being Sony fanboy alot around here, no problems, but I have NOT ONCE posted any negative about MS under a MS-only article ! Why would I. I dont like MS /Phil so I simply stay away.
And seriously, isn't the owner of this site a MS fan ? Or did I misunderstand something here ? Wouldn't surprise me if I have, but that's the impression I got so far. But if I'm right, isn't this technically a MS pro site ? ;)

Gazondaily2003d ago

No the site owner isn't a Xbox fan. Where did you get that from?

You see me in every single Sony related article? I'm not even on here that much these days. And I'm not always critiquing Sony either. You just see what you want to see.

Legatus2003d ago (Edited 2003d ago )

Zeke68

What are you talking about man Septic, Krib and gangsta are the most unbiased N4Gers in the history, they have never and i mean NEVER favouring any side, especially MS/xbox. They are the true champions of neutrality.

:/

Kribwalker2003d ago

@legatus

lol,you are hardly a person to try to call someone out for being biased. Really, there’s probably 10 people on this site that could honestly say they aren’t biased one way or the other

Legatus2003d ago (Edited 2003d ago )

Krib

I never ever called myself unbiased, i was, am and always will be a Playstation fanboy and i NEVER pretended that am i not, i clearly show that by my pro Sony comments and that's why i am calling you out. Because you are always championing yourself unbiased, owning all three consoles, etc. but in reality you are always making pro MS comments and stealth trolling and downplaying anything Sony related, but yet you are always telling how you were not biased. There is nothing wrong to a Xbox fanboy no matter what others are saying, after all it's in a human nature to always choose a side, from sports to politics so the gaming is no different, but don't be a liar when someone call you out and say that you are a xbox fanboy and you lie that you are not, just proudly admit yes i am a xbox fanboy and that's it, just don't lie, being a liar is a MUCH worse than being a fanboy.

I do not give a fuck about these people. They are corporate figureheads. I do not feel compelled to worship their nutsack like some here and the gaming 'media'. I am more interested in developers.

neutralgamer19922003d ago

This was good we are a singular community regardless of preference when it comes to hardware or software

United as a community we can make a huge difference. Forcing EA to backtrack on SWBF2 to forcing Bethesda into giving the bags which were promised

So next time any of you want to troll or hate just remember we are all gamers

I like ps4 but have nothing against switch, pc or Xbox one. We all like something different so let's stay united so we can stop these greedy publishers from taking advantage of us

darthv722003d ago

I been saying it for years. We are all in the same hobby for the same reason.... we love video games.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

purple1011d 2h ago

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky8h ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu8h ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv721d 2h ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple1011d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo7h ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

andy858h ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

anast3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

120 is a bit slow. My eyes can't look at anything less than 260fps.

Trying to push players over from PC to console is a terrible idea, PlayStation

As PlayStation announces its new strategy to encourage PC users to choose PS5 it is a bitter-sweet moment for PC gamers.

Christopher1d ago

I mean, it's a business based on hardware market. Do we expect them to not even try? It's not like Nintendo doesn't do the same by not putting any games on PC and Microsoft until recently did the same. I don't care what they attempt, as long as they don't abuse the community or lie about their goals/requirements.

Will it work? Not likely. Should we care? No. Let them waste their time, it doesn't affect anything.

RaidenBlack1d ago

let them try ... at the end of the day, we get few extra PC games ... yay ... and also promotes game preservation via PC ... so double yay.

LordoftheCritics7h ago

If only Playstation games provided the ease of pc gaming features.

Primary being very few PS games support m/kb.

Christopher18m ago

If only PC games supported controllers more. Main reason I play primarily on console. So many games have shit support on PC. Playing Dark Envoy now, and it's quite frustrating since I have to switch to keyboard during cut scenes just to make sure advancing conversation doesn't also auto-select a decision. Let alone it's quite rough to select between characters and inventory screens are bad bad bad.

Anywho, similar complaints for both I find. But, I 100% agree that both PC and consoles should support both as best as possible.

Fishy Fingers23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I wish them the best of luck.

But PC players are often a patient bunch, many will even wait for Epic launcher exclusivity to end until a game comes to Steam.

If they didnt buy the console when its games were exclusive, why would they do it now theyre not?

MrNinosan9h ago

Way more do than you probably think.

ravens529h ago

All you need is that one game that'll make a few switch at a time. Like a game a PC player REALLY wants.

outsider16245h ago

I mean if there's 10 million pc gamers out there...getting atleast just 1 million from there is probably a good thing..right?

romulus233h ago

PC players are not a monolith, I don't know why people keep thinking they speak for the entirety of all PC gamers like they all know each other personally. You think out of the millions of PC gamers not one single person will be impatient?Well Sony is willing to bet there will be. Why would they do it now? People's feelings change and new PC gamers come along all the time that may also feel different about waiting, that's why.

PC gamers are just too patient and loyal to their gaming set ups, something they've spent a lot of money on to perfect. They have backlogs of games which many never get round to finishing or get round to at all and will always have other multiplatform releases to keep them going.

Over the many years Sony has published so many awesome titles such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Infamous, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, Dreams, Puppeteer, Resistance, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo, Motor Storm, God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne

If none of those games BEFORE all these PC ports convinced a hardcore PC gamer to get a PS5 console then why on Earth would porting them them to PC now make any difference? All PC gamers now know 100% is that they just have to be patient, which they are good at anyway to get a PS5 game 2 years later.

I get GaaS games or multiplayer focused titles but if people really want to play these games they'd have gotten a PS console years ago.

Crows906h ago

Not sure they're aiming to convince the hardcore PC gamer.

Not sure why people are obsessing over his comment...it seems pretty simple to me.

He will do all he can to entice gamers to move to his ecosystem. As you say....exclusives existing hasn't moved many gamers over. But if they get to try them and love the games then they might change their mind about waiting 2 years.

We're in an echo chamber on this site...I've Personally seen people with Xbox and PC setups but no PlayStation. I've also seen people with small PC setups but no console. Not every pc gamer invests thousands and many may decide to put one in the living room.

They're not looking to convince all of players to buy a PlayStation...just a few...and really it is just a PR statement after all...they have to give a reason why single player won't release day 1....not to mention they also have to ensure current PlayStation gamers don't jump ship to PC. It goes both ways and they're ignoring the big L by putting any of their games off their platform.

anast5h ago

"Not sure they're aiming to convince the hardcore PC gamer."

Right here

Kakashi Hatake5h ago

PC gamers think tomorrow is promised. Sorry, don't have time for that.

Michiel19894h ago

it's not just about loyalty or sunk cost, pc is an open platform while consoles are closed platforms. If you for example want to mod, you will play on pc, no question about it. Also if you like indie games, steam is a fucking goldmine for that. I've been playing a lot of indie games over the last years and there just seems to be an endless amount of them on steam. Also not having games locked to a certain fps is a prettty big deal for me and I assume a lot of other pc players.

Walalon3h ago

And don't forget steam sales, you can get a ton of games on an awesome price.

romulus233h ago

And how do you know out of the millions of PC gamers that not one single person ever went ahead and bought a PlayStation console for one or more of those games? People keep speaking for the entirety of millions of PC gamers like they know them all personally. Here's one example for you, I'm currently typing on a recently purchased PC that cost me over twenty five hundred dollars and is more than capable of running any game including Sony exclusives that come to PC and yet I still bought a PS5 so apparently I'm not patient or loyal enough to my set up, hope it's not mad at me for not being loyal.

helicoptergirl23h ago

Who cares? Then just stay on PC and play the waiting game. No big deal. Sony wins in the end anyway.

Number1TailzFan23h ago

I mean if there's any single player Sony games that I actually want that aren't on PC then I would buy said console to play them on. But the ones that I like that aren't on PC are few and far between anyway so no loss for me.

If I game, it's usually multiplayer titles, otherwise I like playing around with some other software.

Amplitude29m ago(Edited 26m ago)

Astro Bot is the game that just did it for me. I'm gonna have to grab a PS5 again for that.

I did this for Ratchet Rift Apart too but ended up selling the PS5 after getting my plat. Rebought it on PC and other than GoW Ragnarok and Horizon FW (which eventually I could get anyway), I haven't had a reason to downgrade my graphics, controller features, ease of recording, and increase my game costs and monthly subscriptions throughout this entire generation.

I play on a TV with a controller but this has been the absolute worst console gen for both consoles. Never in my life thought I'd be a PC gamer but I've been spoiled by the cheap costs, cross-platform controllers and mostly the unbelievably useful Steam controller config.
