We are witnessing the death of console gaming. Microsoft is already on board with Win 10 gaming, Sony is in the process of fragmenting their userbase and the NX is basically pulling a Dreamcast launch.

Wait the new controller doesn't really have another light bar does it? That was just someone's stupid joke right?

its a window onto the already existing light. it can still be dimmed to be less bright than the xb360 green light so its nbd. people on surveys actually wanted to see it change color in games for some dumb reason so this is the least annoying way to make them happy

Nostalgia4Dicks posted:

it has input over wire if you want to use it plugged in and it has a window in the touch pad down to the led light so at the very least battery life won't be worse.

they may have also revised some of the mechanisms or boards internally to save money/fix failure points but idk. usually happens with a revision though.

No new lightbar, top of the touchpad is transparent so you can see the light through it.

I don't think Sony announced a new console whose only real distinguishing feature is 4k support with the expectation that everyone will upgrade to it. I don't think most people in this thread are the audience for it. It's for new entrants who've been holding out on a PS4 or insanely early adopters. The console Sony expects you to buy is probably gonna be the PS4 Pro S R-Type or whatever in 2-3 years.

I buy and play consoles because I'm a cheap fucker who wants to enjoy devs doing good work on predictable hardware and not having to worry about upgrades ever 3 years (both me and them), it doesn't really matter how it starts, it's the pace that gets set that inevitably (and purposefully) leads to the iPhone upgrade model where there's no defining line between hardware and your model becomes just an annoyance to developers whenever it stops being the money model, and god help you if you decide to hold onto the drat thing for 6-7 years.

idk, I'm old and like my consoles the way gawwwwwwwd intended

it does but mainly in the form of timed exclusives because only the biggest japanese devs can do simultaneous releases. most of the little ones are getting their poo poo out on pc in 6-18 months.

homeless snail posted:

no it only paired via cord. 3rd party controllers were able to do it like fighting game pads and sticks though.

according to some people with hands on last week it does the input via wire by hijacking the wired headset signal and transmitting it via that. idk how trustworthy that is though but it was reported by Laura k (formerly of destructoid) who was the one that had the system early

For me the relative inconvenience of PC gaming from the sofa is merely about switching the output over to the TV when I want to play. If I had a spare PC to just stick under the TV and set to run Steam Big Picture on startup, that would be basically it for game consoles.

edit: except for Yakuza and SRW.

The PS4 Pro exists because Sony is scared of people jumping ship to PC later in the lifecycle of the PS4.

quote:

House said that one of the key motivations for PlayStation 4 Neo was specifically to prevent high-end users from abandoning the product at an earlier point than its natural eight-year lifespan. “We’ve traditionally seen that some of the core audience tends to gravitate back to high-end PCs at some point because these are the people who want the finest graphical performance,” he said. “So here’s a great opportunity to have them stay within our ecosystem.

Weird that they bring PS Now to PC (which will eventually have PS1/PS2/PS4 games available) and fund the development of games that launch simultaneously on PC if they see that platform as a threat.

Picked up The Witness on sale, the game looks nice and the puzzles are overall neat, but a) the game is waaaay up its own rear end, b) a couple of the areas are too vague about how they work, and c) it's an enormous dick move to to both not allow you to complete the collectables on your first playthrough and wipe all your progress on collectibles when you start again. Got everything but the plat, but I'm not interested in taking that last step.

They could do it too, IF they get hardcore about 60fps. That is seriously the only reason why I choose the PC for high end games, if they're available there.

edit: games already have to be higher frame rate to work with VR, so why not just extend that to their philosophy in general?
