Be amazing if Sony push out vr games with a Sony branded oculus rift....

Clover9044008d ago

One can dream... Maybe next gen, once the tech develops further. Currently the Rift still requires a hdmi cable connected to it. Very inconvenient when you're playing a ps4 from your couch in the living room.

panbit864008d ago

I always LOVED Sony's AR stuff! I really hope they bring some amazing things on ps4 as well!

Skate-AK4008d ago

They need to make some more uses for those AR cards that come with a Vita.

hesido4008d ago

I'd hope Vita's camera was of higher quality. I'm surprised Sony went ultra cheap with those (the sensors they use on phones and the eye is really top notch) but Vita's camera is so bad you have noise even in daylight conditions. That's one negative aspect and affects the AR experience, you really need to play it perfect lighting conditions.

offtopic: Is it up to developers or Sony to implement the use of Oculus Rift into PS4 games?

USEYOURFIST4008d ago

just guessing, however id say it would be down to the developers as they would be the ones who would have to implement options to allow the use of the oculus in their code...much like how on the ps3 the devs who wanted to implement 3d did it themselves by implementing the option for it...however id imagine sony would have to give some sort of permission for it to happen. Really hope it happens and takes off though!

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Vits2d ago

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy012d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

PRIMORDUS7h ago

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird3608h ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor7h ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Asuka8h ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.

N64: Recompiled — Creating Native PC Ports Is A Godsend For Game Preservation

"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.

gold_drake1d 10h ago

it is, i might be finally able to play Snowboard kids 1 full screen ha.

purple10113h ago

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game

gold_drake6h ago

SK1 had a fairly good framerate. sk2 maybe not so much ha

Redgrave6h ago

Some food for thought:

Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?

UltimateOwnage6h ago

As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.

franwex2h ago

I mean. They may borrow them…

Profchaos16m ago

Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online

The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.

Profchaos16m ago

There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.

This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.

But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii

FoxyRush is a cheap - but tasty - little platformer

Cheap platformers are pretty much two-a-penny as we lap up the treats. FoxyRush on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC looks to be no different.
