He said release, which usually means like the first month. Skyrim is the 15th biggest release of all time

So let’s just speculate that it won’t be on Playstation or Nintendo at launch and it’s still going to the biggest release of all time?

BUT ND also had lost legacy between 4 and TLOU2 so there's that as well


i can see it happening. they were probably starting in in the last year of development with part of the team and then took off with it when the game launched.

Except with a new gen those PCs are gonna need an upgrade/ replacement soon, so if you're limited on funds the PS5 now looks that much less appealing

It depends on what your definition of Mid-range is, but PS5 has roughly the same GPU power as a GTX 1080. Depending on what resolution you play your games at (4K is still pretty uncommon for PC users), I don't see a reason why the PS5 / Series X release would necessitate an upgrade from a mid-range system. The great thing about PC is that the games are all scalable and you can change the settings to get your preferred performance / eye candy. If you already have a system with a 2070 in it, you're even better off because you have the RT cores and you get DLSS support to squeeze more life out of the system.

And there still isn't a great reason to upgrade from a 4-core CPU if you're playing games at 60FPS.

Yeah if you believe it’s gonna be an exclusive it won’t be the biggest launch.

If you want that you need to be everywhere.

Which is why I don’t think it will be an exclusive

This new gen is not gonna push computer game hardware, the new nvidia 30xx series is completely overkill compared to these new consoles

You'll still be able to play on PS5/XBOX level with 'old computers'/midrange computers

There will probably be exclusive content, but it seems really dumb to limit your audience by making it exclusive. If Skyrim is any indication, they'll port it to everything they can and re-release it over and over again for 10+ years.

Sometimes the conversation shifts to something you don't enjoy. I glaze over when I check the thread and it's 500 Yakuza posts, but thread doesn't revolve around me and what I want to talk about, so I can just skip those posts and rejoin the discussion when it's something I want to talk about vs. yelling at everyone to stop. It's how these things work. the news is like 5 hours old. People are going to want to talk about it.

I never get annoyed with the thread because the topic I enjoy is videogames

When the thread talks about other things like food or movies, turns out I'm really lucky because I like those too
