The Real Next Gen

[Trapperman Dave]

As this gen is right now we are not really in the next gen. I know this isn't a big suprise to the pc heads who play games anywhere from 1080p to 4k with 60 frames. I know this shyt wishful thinking but we need these companies to build consoles that can handle 1440p with 60 frames. This would be a fair middle ground 4k hella expensive and last thing we need is them spewing bullshyt as to why they can't acheive such and such.
These games need to expand not so much open world but give us the most in the areas we are in. Like God of war make everything in the levels tangible. I believe cloud gaming would help consoles achieve more. If Crackdown does as intended Microsoft might be on to something, it's up to them how willingly they are to take a chance.

Pc gaming could easily be the industry on notice we need a few games that make Sony and Microsoft go only problem with that most money with the consoles.

So what do you brehs think we need to further advance gaming?

Problem is, most tvs don't support 1440p. It's either 1080p or 4K.

True i forgot people who are more into gaming use monitors with their consoles

If tvs supported 1440p, I think next gen could do it. But alas, they can't. I love my 1440p pc monitors (I have 3).

I think the console makers will try to go 4K, but that may be wishful thinking.

the part that you pc guys fail to realize is that these gaming studios only have so much money to make these games. They are not going to spend the type of money needed to consistently make the level of gaming that those high end pc cards can achieve. Its a balancing act. At this point those pc cards are only really pushing up the res and framerates of games that are made for consoles originally. That will be the "wall" for awhile. These gaming studios are already struggling to keep up with consoles and their power...what makes you think they are going to go above and beyond to spend the money needed to make these games even MORE ridiculous only to sell the same and only break even or not make the money at all?

Yea visually id love that these consoles could just make everything above 1080p and 60fps...but the casual gamer which makes up most of the industry and gonna put up the money for those crazy cards and these gaming studios aint spending the money to make sure they hit that high note on those cards with most games let alone every game. It is what it is. If you think its worth it to just stick to pc and play games that are higher res/higher framerate versions of their console counterparts....enjoy that....thats really all you're gonna get and thats fine. As far as the scope of games and the games really going above and beyond that plus.....it aint happening for a long time. The money spent vs. whats aqcuired for these studios....its just not worth it from my understanding.

You must not play video games of you think this is true

most TV's don't support 900p either. but it doesn't matter if you let the console handle the scaling

1440p fukks my tv up since there is no option to go to 1440p resolution. So I'll be in 4K on my desktop and then play a game that was previously in 1440p and it turns the screen all green and it flickers. It can't upconvert because it's already in 4K. It only upconverts with a 1080p desktop resolution.

you should be able to go into the Nvidia Control Panel and switch "perform scaling on:" to GPU (the default is "display")

dude..you dont get what im talking about..clearly. This aint about developers not being able to technically go beyond what consoles can do...its about COST. some of you dudes think its limitless or something like these companies dont have budgets lol. Why do you think it takes longer to make games now even the console games that are so called way below pc expectations? What you think something much better than that technically is gonna be? You think all these studios can afford to do that? You dudes just dont get it lol

 

[Demonic Jenkins]

the reward for spending 4-5 years to make the games is just not there. Yall already cry about the droughts now but what these games to max out the most expensive graphics cards out there and they wont sell any more than what these games selling now.

fukk are you rambling about.

The "scope" of games has constantly been improved/increased along with graphics.

And no it wouldn't be financially lucrative to make a game that could only be run on the most powerful hardware available. That has nothing to do with consoles.

eh, these studios have to spend a bunch of money on all the crap people expect in AAA games. like voice actors, licencing, motion capture, and a ton of promotion. coding higher-res graphics isn't really inherently expensive
