We’d get a pretty good game format OS—if the players could agree to come together—and then licence that out. Just like we do with Blu-ray, just like we do with the compact disk—and let people compete on content.
I know this is the most Lemmy comment it’s possible to make, but oh, if only there were an OS that already exists that you could run games on and that didn’t even need licencing out!
FreeBSD, right ?
ReactOS. Or TempleOS if you’re feeling holy.
Hahahahahahaha…ahh hahaha

Very unbiased source there.
I’m primarily a PC gamer but I buy ALL THE VIDEO GAME THINGS, so I have every console that comes out, even if I’m only going to play one game on it (looking at you, Returnal). Who is he trying to convince? Cause he’s full of shit.
I’ll be honest I find the ray tracing shit s gimmick that eats up too much resource. I’d much rather just have some awesome games to play, with good looks or not. PC gaming for me has always been about variety anyway. The console looking better never meant anything.
Its supporters claim that in some ways it’s meant to make development easier; that it simplifies many lighting tricks devs handle manually.
I don’t necessarily think it’s a strong enough point since it’s often throwing hardware at a creativity/effort problem.
I’d actually never heard this angle but sounds legit. Cutting corners sounds pretty typical of talking head yltyoes that want to try to cut costs no matter what.
I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.
I can definitely hear the difference between my PC and my PS5.
My PC’s fans are way louder than my PS5.
Stop buying cheap fans?
My last two PCs I built were top of the line and they’re basically silent just with Noctua air cooling.
It’s literally the GPU’s fan. I can’t change that out, afaik.
Start with a normal (as in one ofmy choice) web browser being installable on them, next step is opening to other marketplaces (lol).
That’s going to happen in only a few years, with the next Xbox.
There is no built-in (usable) browser on ps5 nor switch, and nintendo will burn to the ground before allowing people installing their own software on ‘their’ hardware.
The Xbox once did have a version of Internet Explorer on it, I remember.
Nah im pretty sure my pc cooling fans are a bit louder than my ps5 ones, and they’re not that high pitched.
What a fucking moronic statement.

I play PC because my copy of StarCraft from like 2000 still works and I can use any computer/gaming in history that still physically works to this day on a PC. A PC is more compatible with PS4 peripherals/gamepads than a PS5. Plus not paying for the privilege to play multiplayer games that a developer is hosting in AWS

My PC is so backwards compatible it can run games meant for OS’s my OS’s main competitor, and their ancestors as well.
Better yet it can literally run those OS’s over things like KVM/Qemu and DOSBox.

You can also upgrade it part by part, and not have to let the entire thing get replaced every cycle.

To be fair, connecting some of the hardware I used in the 80ies is not straight-forward. But not impossible.
