Remind me again why consoles are still a thing? The FPS/resolution constantly drops. They are literally AMD PCs derived from the AMD Jaguar as was the case with the PS4 and Zen 2 with the PS5. Every future game is going to be optimized for the PS5 Pro which is just an AMD GPU PC.
As soon as Sony adopted the x86 platform, it was over. Mark Cerny did 15 presentations convincing Sony to use x86 for PS4. PS4 in particular is just BSD on AMD64, its fricking piss easy to write and optimize code for. PS4/PS5 are essentially x86 amd pcs running a OpenGL/Vulcan compatible GPU on top of a BSD based OS. couple that with numerous games using ue4x and its pretty easy and economical to put games on more machines.
they wont be a thing much in the future, i mean even now you see how hard they have to struggle and still they dont have any games to play on the ps5
what i don't understand is why they keep making games that struggle to run at 30fps
like i get why that was the case for the 5th and to a lesser extent the 6th gen, where the visual quality had to be scaled back very noticeably to achieve 60fps, on modern consoles this really shouldn't be a problem
Developed on PC with different targets in mind.
When the game is good enough for people to buy it, they almost do compile to target $whatever && push to all stores to cash in,
The "For gamers by gamers" era is long gone.
Publishers and IPR jihadis now run the show.
the human eye can't see more than 30 fps

stop posting this automated spam
Consoomer don't care
Want preddy pictures no want learn no want give too much money

Because its primary function is to be the designated Black personball/COD/FIFA machine. Almost all my friends in school own one and play nothing other than R6, COD and fifa.
Also IIRC I'm pretty sure the piss5 is selling quite well so its further proof that you dont even need to have good games, you can just shit out a load of annual third party garbage and normalgays will just gobble it up.
From a technical standpoint consoles should theoretically have faster memory times and less latency due to unified memory.
From a consumer standpoint consoles are for people that can't use / maintain a computer. I know people that run strictly on phones and Xboxes.
Had a friend telling me about his Mom complaining that she couldn't pay bills or watch netflix because her Xbox wasn't working, she is apparently using her Xbox in the way people use computers.
And soon people will use their computers in the way people use their xbox.
That's Microsoft's console wars end game.
>From a technical standpoint consoles should theoretically have faster memory times and less latency due to unified memory.
There is certainly a benefit to be had from having unified memory but there's also a reason actual PCs don't use GDDR for CPUs. That's because a GPU and a CPU generally have different requirements from their memory subsystem, on the GPU bandwidth is king (that's why you get 4090s with like 1TB/s) but on the CPU you care more about latency and GDDR isn't so great. The bandwidth is absolutely critical for the GPU though so consoles have no choice but to use it, hence they basically gimp their CPU performance for the sake of it.
>Remind me again why consoles are still a thing?
Because people want to play competitive games without cheaters. And the price is awesome.
>Because people want to play competitive games without cheaters
TBF this is less of an issue regarding PCs and consoles but more of a issue of devs being absolutely moronic Black personhomosexuals and having terrible anticheat. I remember even on ps4 a couple years ago seeing cheaters in warzone was not too uncommon
>And the price is awesome.
I think this perfectly encapsulates the average normalhomosexual mindset and how gullible they are with pricing. Even if its cheaper upfront you still have to pay extra to use your OWN INTERNET along with 70 dollar games and the likes of overpriced peripherals.
>Even if its cheaper upfront you still have to pay extra
9.00 firmware exists.
>I remember even on ps4 a couple years ago seeing cheaters in warzone was not too uncommon
Yo forgot to turn the crossplay off.
PS4s and the ps5 are the only console that can be easily cracked as of 2024 you don’t need a hardware mod just low firmware. You won’t see speedhacks or mods on xbox just the mouse controller emulator that’s on all platforms.
Low firmware can't connect to PSN and there's no way around it AFAIK
true for ps5
for ps4 you use a fw spoofer just like ps3
Cool. Any proof/
stop spamming your dragons dogshitma chingchong trash
ironically performance is still better on consoles because they have zero shader stutter. any new pc game you play even on a 14900k/7800x3d/4090 will stutter by design. this type of stutter doesnt exist on consoles.
tard
fix your shit
>Remind me again why consoles are still a thing?
Because most people aren't autistic and just want a machine that can play games. Especially people who are buying one for their kids.
I just want to game, don't care about your gaymen RGB PC.
Consoles just works, they can run whatever I throw at it, I don't have to deal with shader compilation stuttering and I can just relax on my sofa playing comfortably.
>Remind me again why consoles are still a thing?
They enforce vendor lock-in and funnel all the money spent on the platform through the platform owner. That's why these companies are selling DRMbox hardware and why they bother making it when selling the hardware itself hasn't really been profitable for a while, unless you do it like Nintendo and use something REALLY old and slow.
>when selling the hardware itself hasn't really been profitable at launch for a while
FTFY. The hardware has always become profitable after a year or so.
The highest graphic setting in Unresal Engine is based on a target framerate of at least 30fps for consoles.
picrel is the only real console, everything else is a psyop
