And that's where PCs come in!
The thing i love about gaming PCs (besides all the obvious advantages it has over consoles) is the fact that no matter how you build your PC it will always be a memorable design. Maybe it's because of the RGB, or maybe it uses a mini ATX and is almost as small as a console, maybe it's built into the desk, maybe it's built on the wall, or it just uses a case you really really like. maybe you like the design of the graphics card, or the motherboard, no matter what it is PC designs will stick with you for one reason or another, even the prebuilt ones

True..never thought of it that way though. But than again, i actually have except i don't have the money or place to make all that lol

You can literally put Pi in GameCube lol

But one thing that consoles do differently is simplicity and optimization for games.
Oh and the price! ...But apparently not this generation or company...

Also you might want to find something cheaper, but for budget PCs 500 is the sweet spot
Maybe 450 if you look hard enough

With the Vita dead, Sony's continued interest in remote play, and the fact that Sony sent their players a survey a few months back asking if they'd be into the possibility of this, do you think it's possible that Sony might work with Nintendo to allow PS5 owners to remote play their system with a Switch? Like I'm sure it will still allow Vita owners to do so, but those lack some key buttons, and they aren't in nearly as many people's hands as Switchs are which only continue to get into more people's possessions by the day. It could definitely be mutually beneficial, encouraging the sales of both devices, as you would need both to make use of it, and Sony straight up asked recently about the possibility of remote playing the PS4 with a Switch, so this may not be as impossible as one might initially think.

I dunno why this is where my head has gone, but remote play and psvr were pretty big things for the PS4 that many would like to be implemented into the PS5. And while I suspect PSVR is going to be a part of the PS5 and continue to see support and maybe even a new model there, I'm not sure to what end remote play will continue. Like I'm sure they'll allow our smartphones and if we still own Vitas, to play that way. But they must recognize how perfect the Switch would be for that feature, and how many gamers already have one at that. It gets my conspiracy gears grinding. I'm sure there are some legit reasons not to have such cross-promotion, but it really does seem like it could be very synergistic in practice.

While that's a fascinating idea MikaDubbz, I'm not sure the Switch would be able to run any of those games with out developers down scaling them drastically. I've always considered the switch to sit some where between the 4 and the 1 in terms of power from everything I've seen and read, but after seeing what the 5 can do; well It'd be neat to see Big S and Big N team up again, however, I don't for see it happening any time soon bud, its a neat idea though.

Dude, a hacked Switch can already stream games from your own PC or (by jumping through some extra hoops) even your own PS4. The system is not only capable of this, homebrewers on this very site have already accomplished the idea in question. This is entirely feasible, and Sony themselves are at least entertaining the idea considering that they sent out a survey to their own players asking if they'd like to be able to (officially) remote play their PlayStation systems with a Nintendo Switch.

lol, I actually forgot that the switch had that ability now to stream via homebrew, your right it is possible that it could happen, sorry about the mistake.

Sorry I don't speak young people talk so have no idea what you mean by chad so I googled it and still I have no fucking clue.

He definitely looks Chad.


Its a game Karen's will go wild for. But a Stacy is probably on the level of Chad. The Virgin will never stack up.

Wait and see how those games perform on ps5 them compare them to pc, before you decide, maybe this time $ony will finally make games to look good and run at 60fps.

Thats good deal but look at Memory of 8gb.. Not great. You need 16 or 32gb or above for better result. So it might be around 700-800 which is a great deal. Again for Geforce.. try higher than that might lead to about 1,000-1,200. Depends on what you are looking for like recently powerful emulators.

ngl the PS5 looks way better when its on its side, it looks like an actual console

I have never seen a chinese clone console that looks like this, lol
most of the time they try to copy an already existing design.

that's Glorious as F.

games in 2020 woini't have much impact between Titan over 1080TI, or 128gb vs 16gb ram. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE xD

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Anyone else hearing rumors about the pricing? Saying it's between $600-$750 USD. If so, Playstation is gonna have another PS3.

I hope so. The PS3 was awesome. You're making it sound like the PS3 was a failure when it surpassed the 360 in sales, despite many people buying multiple 360s due to the RRoD issue.

it was still the worst performing of the all the playstation consoles, and it cost sony all of their PS2 revenue
Sony wouldnt want something like that to happen again.

Then I can imagine how MS felt coming in last place with the 360. You'd think MS wouldn't want something like that to happen again. Yet it did.

they wouldnt really care since they were making bank off of windows
Either way, the ps3 was awesome (probably the best multimedia console of all time) but it cost sony a shitload of monies
They will sell the ps5 for at least cheaper than 600 even if it's at a loss
Plus lets be real here, if youre going to spend 600+ on a console you may as well get a PC
or just get a PC in general

I agree on everything except the last bit. It may be true for Xbox fans, but not for those who love the PS exclusives that may or may not come to PC years down the road. The number of PS exclusives that have already come to PC is very low compared to the number that have not.
