On this week's episode of the Link-Cable podcast we discuss all the big gaming news from the previous week. From GTA V coming to the Epic Games Store, the Unreal Engine 5 demo and the Ghost of Tsushima State of Play.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Ghost of Tsushima has made its debut on PC, and here's how well it holds up.
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is now available on PC, and here's how it stacks up against the PS5 version.
People even get downvotes for saying they play on PC. LOL. Same boat as you man. It's fantastic on PC.
As a PC gamer, the difference is negligible for a $2500+ machine vs a $500 PS5 and considering its part of PS+ the $70 price tag is crazy
its $60 on PC and runs great on a $300 gpu (a $700 PC runs it perfectly w/ higher settings than PS5 and still 4k 60fps), no need for something even close to $2500 for this one. Also, this isn't the game to measure the difference between $2500 pc and ps5, its an updated ps4 game. Try Cyberpunk 2077 w/ path tracing or Alan Wake 2 to see the real difference.
Where do you get such a PC for $700?
As for Cyberpunk I'd say that was poorly optimized for console hardware.
Now I've gotten into PC gaming I've noticed it is. The difference between ultra and console settings is something you'd only really notice much side by side. Certainly not when in full flow playing. (Apart from proper RT games) The only proper advantage is the frame rate, which when you go above 60 its very negligible anyway.
Exactly. I've come to notice the difference between Ultra/High, and even medium settings sometimes can be hard to notice unless you're deliberately looking for the differences as well. A lot of folks seem to think you need a $2000 GPU to enjoy pc gaming when a midrange card that costs similar to a new console can perform exceptionally well for years.
Depends on the game. Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Alan Wake 2, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, Helldivers 2, and many others are substantially better on PC if you have the computer to run them at max settings.
Bought BG3 again on my Laptop because I loved it that much, honestly it's barely different. Obviously higher frame rates. But a CRPG is certainly not something you need over 60 on. CP2077 I'd agree because the full RT and PT on that is awesome. And AW2 on console is stunning anyway. Like I said it's mostly about frame rates not how the game actually looks
This was a game released on pretty old PS4 hardware. I'd hope it'd come close to PC parity. I waited for the PC port before playing it on PS+ on the ps4 and I'm glad. This game may be the most optimized out of the box day one pc release I've played in a long time. So happy Sony is bringing their top quality games to PC. Even if some time later.
Sorry. I don't pay attention to the PS5, only console of theirs I've decided to skip. Not for any particular reason. Just between the PC, and old ps4 pro I can't validate getting one. Even better that the PS5 version runs perfectly (for me) out of the box without waiting for patches. Still, the system requirements are quite low, and that's what made me assume. Just very well optimized then. Must have learned a lesson from the terrible state The Last of Us launched on PC.
This game is effortless for even a cheap PC to run though. 4060 ti runs the game max settings in 4k at roughly 60 fps and is only $300 on sale, processor and everything you're talking no more than $600-$700, so definitely not even close to 4x cost. A pc that is 4x the cost of PS5 will run Cyberpunk 2077 path tracing and Alan Wake 2 path tracing at over 100 fps, try doing that on PS5. Another example is how awful the Helldivers 2 PS5 version looks compared to max settings on a good PC. I think you are overestimating the cost of the PC equivalent of a PS5.
Building a PC that will run 4k at ultra settings at 60fps for $700 is a myth. It cost about $1600 if the price is right. If not, it will be another $400 on that.
The PC they used for this is top-shelf.
it is a ps4 game though, directors cut just added improved lighting and 60fps for ps5,
when got:2 comes out and runs still efortlessly on ps5, we will see the value perhaps;
