Forget hardware and fix the stupid Xbox launcher for PC that runs on windows. Garbage*2

The PC should never follow any console. The PC should always be at the forefront. This tech should have been in place way before any console posted the first info about it. I'm 100% sure it could have been done, but the lazy shit bags at M$ didn't do anything until they saw the consoles have it. How is the PC going to get pushed if they have to wait for the lower consoles. Kinda sad and pathetic.

It’s not that big of a deal.

So essentially your mad consoles got the 1 up on PC in a situation lol. PC had fast load times from NVMe for years. They had no reason to do that ATM. Now they do

XxINFERNUSxX1132d ago

Not mad, kinda annoying when the tech has been there all along and we have to wait for the consoles to use it. We all could have been using fast SSD tech probably for a few years, but they wait for consoles to use it first. I have a Switch but say for example it was on par with the current gen consoles, I would still want the PC to have all the tech first, everything else below, why have all these powerful PC components when the tech sits there not being used to the fullest. I wonder what else they are holding back on the PC...

That's what I was thinking. I've had NVMe since mid 2015. This delay or gap is no big deal.

Doesn't matter who is at the forefront. Tech is moving forwards, we should be happy that time saving tech exists now.

You do realize that in many cases, these are custom parts, programs, and solutions specifically designed FOR the consoles, yes?

Breakthroughs happen where they happen. You should be celebrating it's possible, not throwing a fit about where it happened first.

Helldivers 2 Got Double the Development Budget From PlayStation According to Studio Boss

Arrowhead Game Studios chief Johan Pilestedt revealed that Sony PlayStation doubled the development budget of Helldivers 2.

Which is pretty good that they supported them in making it a high quality game with more funding. Basically shutting up the complainers about Sony making a GaaS game. The GaaS game turned out well and doesn't bombard gamers with micro transactions and doesn't signal the death knell of single player gaming.

Same with Sony's online. Microsoft offered nothing for a decade when XBL started on the OG Xbox going past 360. Sony launched theirs and gave away games to play for subscribing to their service. More bang for your buck than what you paid in. A better way of doing it compared to what was before.

Now we see gamers complaining about AI. But maybe Sony will use AI correctly and do it right that benefits their company and their employees. We have to see the results before bitching and complaining.
