I said this in the other thread & I'm pretty sure this is what he's talking about, which I got no problem with at all if that's the case.
So no day one PC single-player titles as of right now.Hermen Hulst said:
Makes sense.
Partially because they fear missing on a trend which is there to exploit people’s growing perceptions that games should be free. Wave after wave of games trying to get you dopamine addicted would then try to extract money out of you with micro transactions and games people pay money for up front may become niche and thus not worth the AAAA budget modern audiences also expect to exploit the HW capabilities they have inside their computers (few buy new HW just to have Quake I path traced).
That's also gonna depend on whether or not the full console feature set's being used which isn't the case with Returnal or any other first-party PS5 title so far. Spider-Man 2's most likely gonna be the first game to do that since Insomniac put out 3 titles already for the console & have more experience with it so far compared to the other PS studios. Won't be surprised if the min specs for Spider-Man 2 & Returnal are slightly different.
Any reason that you say this? What part of the system do you think isn't being used to it's maximum potential?
Willing to be money it will be SSD (recommended) and a 1060 or 2060.
Normal SSD wouldn't be that unusual for the recommended specs, think we have had that before and maybe 1/2 games have it as a min.
I dont think any game has had SSD as part of the min spec. (Maybe Scam Citizen?)
I am thinking of that game but I think that's more of an informal spec cause its a PoS on normal SSD.
They want to make more money. Lots more.
People like me…I’m kind of disappointed they haven’t catered to me at all since PS3 era with multiplayer. It’s about time they make an investment there while they still work on Single Player experiences, there is room for both my guy not just 3rd person single player.
I see the Primitive Shaders feature as the biggest & most overlooked feature in the console which barely anyone talks about, & no game has used it yet since it's the second or even third wave of games that fully utilize the hardware. R&C as Insomniac even said, is the tip of the iceberg with them being able to properly use RAM to load only what's in front of the player thanks to the I/O setup in that game. They gain more knowledge & experience as time goes on, that's why I'm saying their mid/end-gen titles will have different min specs than the early-gen PS5 titles, that's my prediction.
I'm gonna bet on a high-speed SSD & any 20XX card for min specs for mid-gen titles since that's the lowest card I think that supports mesh shaders, which is gonna be needed for future ports after 2024/25. My only worry with current-gen single-player titles on PC day 1 was that since both versions would be developed simultaneously, they would try to look at how low they can go on the PC side first before taking the PS5 into account which means they won't be fully taking advantage of the HW.
Think it's going to be largely more incremental changes within the gen but I do agree that min spec will change/increase in general. Obviously that's very subjective.
Jimbo literally said they only need a few of them to hit big. They know half or more will flop.
Yeah, Sony Corp is a greedy for profit business. Run by suits who only care about money.
As a consumer of AAA SP games? It probably doesn't
They won't do a show cause they have nothing to show from their 1st party devs, huge portion of ressources has gone to Gaas, mobile, useless remakes, TV shows and PC porting.
I love this direction they are taking and will gladly wait to play those single player bangers on a 7950x 4090 pc at 4k 160 max settings
More like the most fervent fanboys have lost their mind.
In business, warfare, and life, if you're not growing/progressing...you're dying.
The market. The market is asking for more live service games.
12. They have 12 planned for release by March 2025. They certainly have more in development planned for release after that.
Bye then?. I dunno what other publisher is going to keep making AAA Single Player cinematic GOTY contenders tho?. Those ain't cheap and don't generate as much money as GaaS.....just look at GTAV.
Lots of people here are saying later this month, so be patience
lol lots of people here were saying September was a 100% guarantee.
Lots of people don't do their job, look at all that bumps in the roads
Yeah, why cant they simply release a roadmap like Kevin Feige does for Marvel movies? We understand things get delayed but I really dont understand the secrecy. If you have 25 first party games in development, just list them if you cant reveal them with trailers just yet. Right now, Only Spiderman 2 and Wolverine have release dates or rather release quarters/years.
