  1. First two words in the title didn't age well lmao
  2. This is honestly the only right way to do things for a couple of reasons. First of all, I don't think console-generations should feel like a mere upgrade like a PC. Consoles are already way too PC-like in my opinion and the mid-gen upgraded models didn't help that issue at all. So once a new gen actually comes around, I'd like for that to feel like a leap forward instead of just a bit of a step up in visual fidelity or framerate. Also, things like Ray Tracing are already something with a hard cut-off point that can't be done on older hardware but can go beyond simple eye-candy. If devs want to make a game that is designed around seeing off-screen elements in shadows or reflections (a horror game could make great use of that but even a regular online shooter can give you a great advantage if only those with ray tracing can see stuff that's off screen), they can only do that with games that are meant to leave older hardware behind. Same thing for level design, types and amounts of assets, player amount in multiplayer, better physics and other such advancements that would be hard/expensive, or impossible, to implement on older PC hardware or a last-gen system. So if things that fundamental are possible on the new systems but not on PS4, PS4 Pro or even a mid-high range PC then I would much prefer them to have the freedom fully utilize those new possibilities and not be bogged down by a requirement to support legacy systems. On top of that, they have said that the way the PS5 uses its SSD, and the speed of it, is way more important to making it feel like a huge leap forward than its sheer processing power ("forget teraflops" they say), which implies that the way games are designed, loaded and displayed works completely different than it does on other, already existing systems so it'd be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to simply turn down some settings and target a lower resolution and framerate and make it run on an older system. At least without some major reworks that would probably still not be ideal and would cost a lot of resources and lead to an inferior product. That is IF everything they have said so far can be taken at face value. But if it is the case then I'm honestly pretty happy, because a new console gen hasn't really felt like a big leap since... shit.. the Gamecube/PS2 era maybe? And it's just like with VR. Some games, to take full advantage of the possibilities given by new hardware, have to be designed completely with said hardware in mind and nothing else. That's why you can't play Half-Life Alyx without VR without severely breaking the experience. Just like you couldn't have made Mario 64 on the SNES without it being a vastly inferior product. And both of those games, like many others, would have been much worse if they were designed with legacy hardware compatibility in mind. So why should PS5 exclusives? So, bring it on. I wouldn't have it any other way.
  3. We really need some more information to give a decent recommendation since there is no universally "best" console for every person who might be asking. First of all, what systems do you already have? Do you have a PC capable of running modern games? What other consoles have you owned in the past? What kinds of games do you like? Do you play in long sittings or more casually? Do you prefer the convenience of a mobile/handheld system? Do you put much emphasis on graphics? Do you plan to be playing a lot of online multiplayer or do you prefer singleplayer games? How much are you willing to spend on the system and software? All of those questions are important to know before making a decision. And as the person above said, you might also want to wait a bit since the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X are slated to be released by the end of this year, which you might either want to buy, or if you don't you'd find the current-gen consoles much cheaper then than they are now, most likely. Generally speaking though: The Nintendo Switch is a great system for those who like Nintendo games (duh) like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros, etc. and enjoy the convenience of being able to take the console with them on the go while also being able to put the thing into the dock and play games on a big TV. Games generally look the worst on the Switch, at least on a technical level, since it's the most underpowered system currently active and because it's mostly a handheld with HDMI pass-through. Given that fact, however, games look absolutely fine and some titles, especially first-party, do still look fantastic because of great art direction and if you're not an absolute graphics snob (in which case you don't wanna be getting a console anyway and would be better suited with a high-end gaming PC), you won't be annoyed by how games look on this thing at all. At least not yet. You can find all kinds of games on this system. Downgraded ports of current games, Switch-exclusive first-party games, ports/remasters of older games.... casual games, games for the more core gaming audience, kids games, mature rated games. The Switch is a decent first step into gaming as a variety show. Just don't expect great Online or, like I said, incredible graphics fidelity. Or multimedia stuff or 4k support. It has none of that. Still, it's a pretty safe bet because no matter who you are, chances are you'll find a few games you love and Nintendo is the one console manufacturer who doesn't seem to be planning to replace their system with a newer one anytime soon, aside from maybe an upgraded model. So unlike the PS4 and Xbox One, the Switch probably won't be unsupported and obsolete anytime soon, even if it's technically inferior. PlayStation 4 (or the upgraded, 4K enaabled, PS4 Pro) is a technical middle-ground when it comes to the current (soon-to-be replaced) generation, offers decent online and probably has the most vast library of games. Pretty much all of the recent third-party games were available on PS4 and a majority of them were made with its capabilities in mind first and foremost. It could be considered the overall winner of this generation. It has quite a few very high profile exclusives like Bloodborne, God of War, Uncharted, The Last of Us, the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima, Persona 5, Spider-Man, etc. and with that probably offers the most bang for your buck when it comes to software. The pretty cheap base model is still fully supported but the Pro model offers a few different options for resolutions higher than 1080p (actual, native 4k is very very rare in games, though UHD Blu-Ray movies work on the thing) and also run some games with higher framerates than the base PS4 does (usually you get a choice between high resolution and high performance). If you buy a PS4, you'd have a HUGE library of great games waiting for you and those games can already be found for pretty cheap and will most likely drop in price soon, just like the console will, when the world moves on to the PS5. So this might be the best overall value option. Xbox One is a system I don't personally own and if you have a decent PC I seriously don't see much of a reason to get one. The base Xbox One is quite a bit less powerful than the base Playstation 4, but Microsoft released an upgraded model, Xbox One X, a few years ago which, at the moment, is the most technically capable console out there, hitting true 4K resolution on some games and generally the best framerates, though that obviously is reflected in the price. So for strictly third-party games, this is the best console, however there aren't many exclusives (Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Sea of Thieves, etc.) and personally I don't find the exclusives they do have all that appealing, which many people seem to agree with. And even if you do like those exclusives, almost none of them REALLY are exclusives as Microsoft has decided a little while ago to release everything they publish on PC as well, which they will continue to do even in the next generation. Still, the Xbox One X IS an impressive console and there is an interesting value proposition here since Microsoft has vowed to release even their next-gen games not just for the upcoming Series X but also have them be playable on all Xbox One models. Now, they obviously will be downgraded quite a bit, but this means that buying an Xbox One now will give you a system you can use for new games even still in a few years and well... if you get the Xbox One X, so the currently strongest console out there, you might be satisfied with its performance for a while. Though I'm not sure the same can be said about the base Xbox One. Additionally, Xbox One is the best in terms of backwards and forwards compatibility. A majority of Original Xbox and Xbox 360 games work on the One and sometimes even got patched to take advantage of whatever your hardware is capable of, so games can run more stable and at a higher resolution than they did when they were first released. Also, there is the Xbox Game Pass, which is basically like a Netflix for Video Games with an ever-growing library of old and new games from multiple generations (though buying old games used is also an option) and every game Microsoft publishes themselves, is available via Game Pass from Day 1 with no extra cost. So if you're just jumping in without much knowledge of what kinds of games you like, this might be a pretty attractive option since you immediately get access to a shitton of games to try. Also, most of the Xbox Games you buy on Xbox One will be available to be played, often upgraded, on Xbox Series X if you ever decide to make the move to the next generation. So it's kind of a future-proof option as well.
  4. I mean they are kinda two completely different things. PS Now is primarily a streaming service which everyone knows are iffy at best. Sure, there is the option to download PS4 games (and only PS4 games as far as I know, while Game Pass includes backwards compatibility downloads) but that option was added a long time after launch and a lot of people don't even know about it. The main point of the service is to stream and Game Pass has always been about downloads and has for a long time offered, and promised to keep offering, Microsoft first- and second party games to be available on the service at launch while Playstation Now usually waits a little until the initial push for any given game is done and over with. So it's kinda apples and oranges, really. Once Project XCloud has launched, THEN the comparison will probably make sense. As it stands, Google Stadia is kinda the only real, direct competitor to PSNow.
  5. It honestly is amazing to think that they went from a small, niche dev to not only the dev of one of the most anticipated games currently but also a well-known platform holder that uses the values they had when they were tiny as a selling point now that they are big. It really kind of breaks down the boundaries between small/indie and AAA even further.
  6. Welcome dude, I'm new too!
  7. For me, pretty much nothing has changed. I've lived like this for like 15 years and even before that I only went outside for school. So the only thing that has really changed is that now people are constantly complaining about something that I've had to deal with for a long time. Not that they don't have any right to, of course. I'm not the kinda guy who thinks suffering is some kinda contest or people don't have a right to complain just because someone else might have it worse or anything. Just one of those things that can get tiresome, is all. Though that being said, I am also annoyed by how many people, who live fairly comfortably themselves in this situation, now act like celebs or other rich people have no right to complain either just because they live in big, expensive mansions. If you can complain, then so can they, Karen!!
  8. As someone who doesn't really care much about this game and was incredibly cynical about the heavy promises pre-launch that everyone just kept eating up, I gotta give it to them. They didn't just throw in the towel and ran with the money but actually cared enough about their, initially, failed project to keep supporting it even when it was completely unclear if that would ever pay out in any way for them. It doesn't erase the blatant lies and false advertising by them or anything, but it definitely deserves some respect.
  9. How is "killing makes him as bad as them" stuff "kindergarten bullshit" but "YO HIS REAL ENEMY IS DEATH YOU GUYS!!!" is not? And how does that change anything? Whose "real enemy" is death not? Dunno if it's because this is taken out of context but reading just this makes it seem like an absolutely weird, nonsensical take.
  10. I've been itching to replay that game for a while anyway (it's one of my favorite 3D Marios because of the creative level design alone) but not enough to hook up my Wii U and deal with that uncomfortable standard controller (I don't have a pro controller for that one), so I might actually get this at some point.
  11. I've been waiting for this one to be finished to actually play it and when I did... man... it was great. Genuinely one of the best remakes I have ever played; and this is coming from someone who didn't like Half-Life very much and didn't even care all that much about HL2 aside from the engine it was running on. They have put so much thought and passion into that project made the Xen portion just burst with creativity and a sense of wonder I haven't felt in a long time. The whole atmosphere, especially at the start, was completely flipped on its head and during the Xen parts I would repeatedly just stop and look around, in absolute awe at what this former modding team has created. It was far from a flawless experience and I've had my fair share of frustrations and complaints, but those were overshadowed completely by all the positives, especially when considering the price of admission and what this project started as.
  12. Personally, I am saving up for the possibility of buying a PS5 at launch. The only system I ever bought at launch, partially because I was never able to afford things when they came out, was the Switch and that was only marginally worth it. I don't regret it or anything but I'm not sure how painful the wait for a few months or even over a year would really have been. That said, I am still looking forward to the PS5 and perhaps buying it at launch, unless it really is much more expensive than the PS4 was and the launch titles don't look too great. So it's not exactly a pledge, just what I expect to be wanting to do when it happens. The launch of a new generation is always exciting, especially in those cases where, at least at first, consoles aren't really lagging behind PC very much, if at all. So it would be nice to be able to be a part of that conversation for once instead of just being an onlooker. Then again, I don't even have a screen capable of more than 1080p output and doubt I will be upgrading prior to the next gen launch, so I will inevitably be missing out on at least some of it. Still, even just the jump in visual fidelity and some of the other advancements that might end up in gameplay advancements, will be exciting enough on its own, as well as whatever exclusives this new system will bring. Microsoft has said they are gonna keep supporting even the most underpowered version of the current Xbox for a while, so I don't expect them to be offering much outside of much faster loading times and better visuals, but if Sony offers true, native next-gen software during its launch window, that could be huge. Besides, my PC isn't exactly a powerhouse anymore but still able to run pretty much anything I throw at it at 1080p if not maxed, then at mid-high settings and with pretty much all of the Xbox Series X software confirmed to be released as well on PC and/or PS5, I simply don't see a reason for me to invest in that option, even if (and that is apparently a big if, according to some insiders and devs) the Xbox is technically superior to the PS5. So if some random survey were to ask me whether or not I intend on buying a PS5 anywhere close to launch, my answer would probably have been yes as well, with Xbox getting a no.
  13. A. Tell us something about yourself? Hi, I'm Pandsu, just some random dude in his 30's who spends most of his time online due to permanent unemployment and disability. I'm not exactly a power user when it comes to these things but I've been making use of private trackers and whatnot for almost 15 years in a more-or-less casual fashion. I mostly just play video games of all kinds, console and PC, retro and modern but I always like to look for new (and old, forgotten) things to discover, which is in large parts why I'm here. B. How did you find InviteHawk? I searched for an invite for a specific Tracker and came across this. C. What Torrent Sites are you looking for? (Mention none if just browsing) The one I want to get (back) into the most is bemaniso. I used to be on there many, many years ago but got banned due to having to move to a place with extremely shitty (unstable, way less than 1mbit) internet for a few years and I couldn't afford a seedbox or anything so I was unable to get my ratio back up again even though I tried to seed almost constantly. I don't think they used to have point systems or anything at the time. D. Do you use the same email on InviteHawk as well as on trackers? (If yes, change it from your profile or contact a staff member) No. That email is not used on any tracker. E. Do you have any suggestions for InviteHawk? Yo I just joined so idk
