I've never really cared about vr (it's been the next big thing for 20+ years now) but the new Flight Simulator is making me want to take the plunge. I'll need a new rig obviously (pretty much everyone will) since I doubt a 1070 will cut the mustard

Valve releasing a new Half-Life episode but only on loving VR is the most savage troll of all time IMHO.

I feel like flight sim (or a racing sim or a space dog fight sim or a space racing sim where you're a dog that shoots lasers at other dogs etc) would be what gets me on board too rather than, say a sword fighting game.
However, any of those types of games I also feel like would necessitate either a racing wheel or flight controller and pedals, etc. and jesus...

Ah fair enough; I never thought (or knew to be frank) about the camera for VR.

Was the VR on play station worth it? It seems too late in the life cycle for me to consider it now and didn't seem "good enough" at the time for me to want it at release, did I miss out?

it's great. I use it all the time.

Every new gen the first thing they do is load their old assets on the new hardware and go holy shiiiit this is fast, somehow forgetting the new gen will have higher res textures and a higher resolution all up.

I still can’t believe both ps and Xbox shipped their last consoles with loving platter drives.

Big Beef City

I can.

I can believe that the prior generation's video game consoles shipped to the consumer containing platter hard drive disk units.
I also believe that the vast majority of those consumers were not affected by them in a negative way.

Thank you.

Oh, actually, they just released a fix for that.
To resolve it you put the controller down when watching movies rather than sell the entire console because you can't figure that out.

Bad news, they made the controller rest on the triggers for the third generation in a row so that does not work unfortunately

Do you really think a console gamer can handle thinking about more than like 6 buttons at one time? Have you not seen the uproar about how the new PS5 controller's face button shapes are black and white instead of in color

Giving a console gamer like a hundred keyboard keys AND a mouse would just cause immediate brain death. Hate to see it really

unplug the USB cable, it will go to sleep after 10 minutes and then only the home button does anything

Sony having the undisputed lead in the console wars from the PS2 only to poo poo all over themselves with the PS3 was really funny

almost as funny as when Microsoft returned the favor with the 360/one

I feel like this is pretty much the worst possible environment to launch a new $600 or whatever console, who the hell is gonna want to spend that money or generally be able to afford that when the economy is in ruins? Especially when the PS4 is perfectly fine and has a shitload of games? I know it's gonna be a holiday release, I just wouldn't feel bullish on dropping an overpriced luxury item at any point for the rest of 2020.

well when they were designing these things everything was hunky-dory, so they were like "sure let's change the storage from a $20 hard drive to $150 of SSD, people can afford it"

right now they are absolutely racing to design some sort of hybrid thing that's $100 cheaper but can still cope with 100gb install games that require fast storage
