They were already lazy because the hardware was powerful enough to hide a lot of sins.

FF7 Rebirth for example. It looks much better on the Pro, but frankly, it should have looked much better on the base console. And it came out well before the Pro was announced.

But at the same time, the majority of PC gamers are happily still playing at 1080p. Resolution was always overrated and an expensive thing to chase.

The only semi-exclusive from last gen was Cyberpunk, and I can't really see things being much different. If a game engine was capable of running at 60 if you reduce the graphics, they'll still offer that. If it wasn't, then the Pro won't be able to run it faster either. It's pretty much the exact same CPU under both.

The last thing we need is Pro consoles getting exclusives. That would be PS6 in all but name.

The PS4 Pro made some sense. The PS4 was underpowered on launch, and 4K became pretty commonplace shortly after they launched. It still had an underpower CPU, but at least you got an upscaled HDR 1440p image for most of the time which is good enough. Even PC gamers accepted upscaling to 4K once they gave it a fancy name and told them it was exclusive.

But here, you've already got a choice of pretty RT mode and 60 fps mode, and if you really wanted both of those at the same time, then you could lash out a big pile of money for a PC.

It's 700 notes for half a generation of slightly prettier gaming. It's aimed at the "turn everything to ultra and have a fit when it drops below 60fps" PC gaming demographic, who have no need for this.

Not sure how he passed as a 31 year old at age 6 to 10.

A quick look on eBay suggests the only people buying them seen are scalpers.

Hope they all get fucked on this one.

I saw a quote the other week that stuck with me.

It was from the widow of the guy who got shot at that Trump rally. Biden had apparently offered to speak to her, but she didn't want to because her husband was "a devout republican".

Politics and religion have merged over there. People are making this shit their whole identity.

Apple: Enough!

But you'll have to buy a whole new laptop when it turns out that was a lie.

Who chooses to sit right at the front on one end?

I think software was a lot easier to visualise in the past when we had fewer resources.

Stuff like memory becomes almost meaningless when you never really have to worry about it. 64,000 bytes was an amount that made sense to people. You could imagine chunks of it. 64 billion bytes is a nonsense number that people can't even imagine.

Does it count when the AI driving the car clips it?
