PCCB Are any of the IGN PCCB still around?
thedarkstark replied to Siebzehn's topic in PC/Mac Technical and PCCB
I'm back after a long hiatus. My old D1P account seems to have been deleted but my handle used to be Abstract_Snipes back in the IGN PCGB days, I'm still friends on Steam with a lot of ya. -
Microsoft "Officially Welcoming Bethesda to Team Xbox"
thedarkstark replied to CitizenVectron's topic in The Spawn Point
Seems like they're going the Netflix route; dump tons of cash into projects whilst losing money hand-over-fist in the hopes of compiling a library that will continue to generate revenue for decades to come. High risk high reward. -

Microsoft "Officially Welcoming Bethesda to Team Xbox"
thedarkstark replied to CitizenVectron's topic in The Spawn Point
Sure but that doesn't change any of what I mentioned. They could still theoretically do that now if Sony gave the thumbs up. I'm guessing sony didnt want to back the project so they offered it to MS after getting turned down -

thedarkstark replied to CitizenVectron's topic in The Spawn Point
It's different because they were both 2nd party studios for Sony. Sony was already bankrolling all of their projects before they became an official entity. They also didnt publish their own games so yeah its a pretty massive difference. -

Less publishers is bad for consumers, monopolies are always bad as inflated cost always trickles down to the consumer. -
General Gaming PS5 Digital owners (or soon to be) let’s chat
thedarkstark replied to maddux4163's topic in The Spawn Point
I vastly prefer digital especially for the Switch and PC but for Playstation I buy mostly physical for 2 reasons: hard drive space - it takes like 10 minutes to install from a disc and about 2 hours to download a game. Prices: physical is almost always cheaper for PS games, especially 2-6 months after release. The PS store has some very good deals but generally games don't go on sale until they're several years old. I will never be in favor of all digital on consoles because distribution monopolies are very bad for consumers. -
Games will most likely have a capped framerate. 4k-30fps, 1080p-120fps. And yes your old TV should do 120fps @ 120hz , but you might have latency or ghosting issues depending on what type of TV and how old it is.

Popular is a relative term, popular among enthusiasts sure but popular in general? Nah. Spending double for 15% performance increase was never mainstream.

Let's be real, it was always dead. I'd have to imagine less than .1% of gamers ever utilized it, in fact judging be Steam hardware surveys it's probably exponentially less than that.

Sony Target is a go for preorders PS5!! Now!! Go!!!
thedarkstark replied to maddux4163's topic in The Spawn Point
I have no allegiance to any company and dgaf who "wins" but from my purely anecdotal evidence everyone I know who has bought an xbox one, and/or plans to buy a series s/x they're super casual players who only buy a couple of sports games and Call of Duty. I don't see how that's a sustainable business model if they're not drawing anyone in with new exclusives, but the lower price of the series S and the possibility of XBL gold going free would be a huge step in the right direction. -
Sony PS5 Pre-order successes and horror stories thread!
