-------- RickMasters Member
Only games you meationd worth a shot there was returnal and GT7. Sony should just put them on PC and maybe Xbox and that's all they got they I would ever give a shit about. Nobody gives a hot about astrobot…… just being honest . I'd rather buy a Nintendo for that sort of game anyway and they do it way better. |

Date: March 7th, 2026 9:10 PM Author: The Helix Project ( ) They think it’s a big “win” that shit like Wolverine supposedly won’t be ported. But that’s just something execs tell Losers to shut them up. When it sells barely 5 million they will quietly drop it on Steam where no one cares about it and cowshit will be like “eight months later 😏” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5842863&forum_id=2Firm#49724917) |

Date: March 7th, 2026 9:17 PM Author: cowgod Holy shit OYT, listen to yourself. Gaming sucks in general, I’ll just play whatever Good Game comes out every 5 years and ngaf. I want an Xbox next gen if anything if it’ll play fuckin’ panzer dragoon orta.
Xbox gives you no reason to buy it, that’s all. Sony sucks cock but they are always at least 1% better every gen between MGS3/MGS4/Don Mattrick/Starfield/FF7R/Death Stranding. That’s it. Fuck Wolverine and Spider Man. |

Date: March 7th, 2026 9:22 PM Author: The Helix Project ( ) Xbox is just a convenience device to me, a "PC under the TV". It upscales to 4K and has Quick Resume. It integrates with Windows and has Play Anywhere. Microsoft has a TrillionK so they can afford a slicker experience than Sony.
If Sony had Japanese exclusives, it would be a big deal. Even if they had Western exclusives that aren't Ubisoft-tier games.

Date: March 7th, 2026 9:23 PM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump Bro u can already play Orta in 4k on one of the old Xboxes. I forgot which one but I have it somewhere. Orta, SSX3, Otogi, JSRF, etc...one of the xboxes has 4K BC with all of tjat original stuff. I never knew you liked Orta. I think it's the GOAT.

Date: March 7th, 2026 9:18 PM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump The only game I cared about is Saros so the timing of this pivot is bad and I am NOT taking it well.

also there's a certain type of autist whose formative gaming years were when they were like 16-25 or something, like it took time for their brains to develop enough to play video games. so he's thinking about like PS3 onward. but I mean what the fuck, PS2 wouldn't be able to run Halo. or Morrowind probably. And xbox SUCKED at rendering the MGS2 rain bc it was a crudely engineered western shitbox.
modern consoles are just PC nbd who cares stfu, this is something totally different. when he says "always" it's like wtf is he talking about, fucking pumo |

Date: March 8th, 2026 9:59 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. I gamed since I was like 5 on Atari and early PC. Obviously, PC has been my most consistent platform though I've had Nintendo (original, SNES, gameboy), Sega (including the stupid CD add on), Xbox (360, One X, Series X) and Sony (PS3 and the handheld). I'm probably forgetting some shit but exclusives were always stupid and I was always missing out on some. I also had periods when I was entirely focused on PC gaming.
I don't think I've used my console for actual gaming in several years at this point. I'm all PC. Technically I guess I use console sometimes with Xbox Cloud. |

You're going to be happier running Cyberpunk 2077 on a PC than any console. How would we be better off if it was say, a PS5 or Xbox exclusive?

|
Date: March 8th, 2026 10:01 PM Author: The Helix Project ( ) I don’t think you get it. It’s all the same x86 architecture now. It used to be that consoles had their own unique hardware architectures and the games couldn’t be easily ported, if at all. Cyberpunk as a console exclusive would just be a piece of software that is locked to certain parameters and can’t be modded.

Date: March 8th, 2026 10:02 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. Right, but even fully optimized none of the consoles would produce the level of quality you see from a decent PC. The current way is actually much better.

Date: March 8th, 2026 10:04 PM Author: cowgod whoa, like, are you saying technology advances? crazy man. wow just wow. moore's law.
cyberpunk is the perfect example. it's supposed to be a PS4 tier game. it barely ran on PS4 on release. it makes decent PCs chug. so does Starfield. lazy devs are leaning on hardware bc Engineering is too hard. Games are like 200 GB and are badly Engineered |
|
Date: March 8th, 2026 10:08 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. Moore's Law has been dead for a while but sure. But reread my post - my point is that locking to a single console would have been dramatically shittier for Cyberpunk 2077 than what actually happened. The visual fidelity I get running it on a 5080 graphics card (what Nvidia GeForce Now offers, btw) is dramatically superior to any console even with the best optimization possible. Yes, it barely ran on PS4/One X when released. And it runs far worse now on PS5/Series X than top tier PC. I don't see why that's a problem or undesirable.

Date: March 9th, 2026 12:03 AM Author: Lab Diamond Dallas Trump You don't get it at all. The reason Cyberpunk is better on PC is that you can brute force it with a $5000 graphics card, and the current consoles don't even have elegant architectures that are even open to being maximized, nor would the current crop of devs (who are content creators rather than engineers) be able to take advantage of complex architectures even if they existed.
This wasn't always the case though. There was a time when consoles functioned very differently from each other, and the gap between consoles and PCs was much smaller because you didn't have brute force graphics cards that cost as much as a used car. And the devs were engineers who knew how to take advantage of each system. Exclusives could often pull off things that simply couldn't be done on PCs at the time. Metal-coded exclusives were pushing performance 50-100% further than multiplatform games on the same hardware.
Now we have a situation where the industry has called a truce and colluded to give up that extra 50-100% performance margin and all just make the Same Game in unreal engine. And the hardware manufacturers are happy to fire all of their engineers and all make the Same Console. So currently, exclusives don't serve much purpose because everything is the Same regardless. But there was a time when things were Different.
These are your current gamedevs:
What do you think would happen if you told them to go code an engine to optimize performance and share resources between the EIGHT processors in the Sega Saturn? |

Date: March 9th, 2026 12:23 AM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,.,.,:::,...,:,...:..:.,:.::,. I don't disagree with any of that. I just don't think it is a problem (other than the fact that a lot of those "content creators" suck at their jobs and are woke retards). You can get a GeForce Now account for like $20/month or whatever I pay and you'll run Cyberpunk 2077 on a desktop 5080.
