Thinking about picking up the latest Tomb Raider and both of the recent AssCreed games for my PS4 Pro. Been waiting to play them on PC, but eh...

How do these games look on the PS4 Pro compared to the PC?

I am playing it now on my Pro. I have a 1080 screen so I always pick favor frame rate in my graphic settings. It runs smooth and looks great. It took me a little bit to get into the game. But am loving it right now. I guess if you can play 4K resolution and greater then 60fps then it would look and perform better on PC. But I can’t justify the expense it takes to build such a PC any more. The PS4 Pro version of the game looks great and performs perfectly fine on my TV. I think that 3rd person games it is better to use a controller. I prefer it even on a PC. Kicking back in my comfy chair playing the game on my big screen with my theatre sound system is a much better experience for me. Getting 60fps on the latest games with perfectly good image quality has sold me on this latest generation of consoles.
 
After watching some high quality videos tonight of the PS4 Pro running at it's highest graphics settings (usually isn't actual 4k) and comparing it directly to the same game running at a true 4k on a PC...

Well, I think I'm going to put the games on the backlog and wait to play them on PC. They looked great on PS4, and absolutely stunning on PC. Seems worth the wait. I don't think they'll run great on my current system.
 
I have been a pure console only player for over a year now. It's out of just ease of playing with my wife.

All this Uncharted talk making me want to get back to the series. But every time I try to pick it back up again I get bored with it for some reason.

They are great action/adventure games for sure, but I think they are just too bland for me or something. I literally get sleepy playing them.

I think they are just easy, harmless and digestible. It is like going to a Disney ride, not the most challenging, scary, awe-inspiring thing... but it's entertaining and a good diversion from real life. That's how I see them anyway.

Yeah that sums it up pretty well. They are mindlessly easy games for the most part. Although I've only played the first 2.

I just really prefer crippling, soul-crushing challenge in my games. Much more satisfying.

You should play on the hardest difficulty then and report back.

I think I did.

Its not really something the difficulty modes can change with this one. The gameplay is just a bit dull, IMO. Climbing bits, then shooting bits, then rinse and repeat...

Story is OK, but nothing special or new. Meh.
 
I played all 4 recently and I can openly state that I hate the gameplay. The story and production is the only thing that kept me going. The ending to 4 was perfect. I really hope rumors of another game is wrong because it did have the best way to end a series.
 
The Uncharted series are fine games. Just not necessarily my ideal games.

I'd rather be playing something with deeper game mechanics and more challenge.
 
Where can I get the MGS series on PS4?? Saw a youtube video with no description but cant find the HD collection on PS4 store..
 
HZD started out with a strong beginning but man have I lost interest in it. I think I may have to just focus on the main story and skip most of the side stuff.

I picked up Titanfall 2 last weekend. Beat the SP campaign that same weekend but thoroughly enjoyed it. Been playing some MP and I'm enjoying it more then BF5.

I also bought the Arkham trilogy last night. I started asylum and the first 30min were a blast!
 
Beat God of War tonight. What an epic, fantastic story.

Installing Red Dead Redemption 2 and doing all the updates. Will start it tomorrow. Can't wait! :drool:
 
Some first impressions after about 40min of the opening story or so.

I can tell its going to be a fun ride, with the familiar Rockstar presentation. First, I can understand now why everyone says it's a slow paced game. The story moves slow, but that's fine. It's the character movement and aiming. Jesus, it feels like it's stuck in molasses. It's just plain awful, so I get it now why there is such an adjustment.

Graphics aren't that great, but I can tell this is going to be a details game. It's kind of blurry and textures aren't that good, but I think the details of the game world like the lightning, number of objects, realistic placement and behavior, views, and movement of things in the game world will make all the difference. It's hard to compare when I just came from God of War, which was razor sharp. I'm playing on a PS4 Pro.

The sound design seems pretty good. I'm using a pretty good (relatively speaking) home theater system and the details are crisp and the surround effects are nice. However, the dialogue is annoying. It's clear, but it's so damn quiet. I turned the balance all the way up and turned the score down, but it doesn't appear to actually have done anything. I notice no difference.

I can tell its going to be good. But right now the movement and terrible aiming are killing me. :lol:
 
Once you get out of that first chapter(out of that damn snow) and the world opens up I think its one of the best looking games ever overall. The lighting in the game is ridiculous. I also played on PS4 pro.

The game looks so good that if it ever comes out for PC I will double dip just top get 60fps and ultrawide.
 
PS5 dev kits are out in the wild. I guess PS5 is probably going to be 2021 release, but they could push it for 2020.

So are you telling us this is another game that you don’t like from the start. Quite surprising. :p.
