I'm saying the game was benefitting from only having to run on one machine vs having to run on multiple that were lower performing in comparison to the ps4. Nothing controversial here I assume.
Correct, I misspoke. Indeed I meant to say the backwards compatibility of the PS4 version ran better than the native PS5 version.
But that's false. The PS4 version runs better on PS5 because the PS5 is far more powerful than the PS4 the game is meant for.
I was arguing your point on the From Software jank... It comes with their engine, regardless of the game being exclusive or multiplat. It obviously makes things harder the more hardware the game releases. I think that's kind of inarguable really. Releasing on 1 platform allows all the resources to focus on optimizing to the best of their ability to that platform. The more platforms you release, the less optimization you can achieve with the same resources.
Yet Bloodborne is arguably the worst performing game of the series. From doesn't bother optimizing whether it's single or multiplat, so them going exclusive won't suddenly make their games perform better.
That's usually the case only if the game uses top-of-the-shelf tech that requires specialized hardware or custom engines designed for a specific platform. Not exactly a thing with From games.
lol... sure... you must have not played dark souls on PC... and I'm including the "prepare to die" edition in the mix, not even the baseline
All games require levels of optimization and compromises depending on the platforms they are releasing on. We've had plenty of recent examples with Black Myth Wukong and BG3 being so compromised that they completely skipped an entire platform due to hardware limitations.
I have and it changes nothing to the point you're making.lol... sure... you must have not played dark souls on PC... and I'm including the "prepare to die" edition in the mix, not even the baseline
I said it wouldn't benefit us and it won't. From is doing just fine without Sony, so what will Sony buying them out do for us exactly? The advantages you spoke of have never happened.
Why should it "do" something for "us". Neither you nor me are the ones buying the asset. It won't hurt me in any way and I can see a path that even improves the cadence of their output, which is all I care about really.
In fairness I think Bloodborne was far more polished on PS4 than Elden Ring is.
Because we're the ones buying the product?
At the expense of removing those releases from other platforms or delaying them. Great.
So they'll be treated just like any Sony exclusive. The cons far outweigh the pros in this scenario.
1- We're still buying their product just the same, so what's the point?
For PC gamers, those you just tried selling the pros to.
You asked why does it matter. It matters because we're the consumers.
When said exclusives were multiplat and you have a big corporation buying them off and removing them from other platforms, you fucking bet we are.
Yeah, Demon's Souls and Bloodborne were totally polished with high production values...not. You're going in circles.3- Meaning a polished product with high production value? Oh man, the humanity...
Sorry Gaiff, but it was like 100% obvious that he meant more Japanese games within Sony's production pipeline and not just more Japanese games on PS5 overall...
People here just have a hard on at the thought that future souls games will be locked to PlayStation hardware. Thats the advantage. But they won’t admit that and will attempt mental gymnastics to say otherwise. It’s quite entertaining
You're talking about the Series S though, which is a platform with very clear lower capabilities. Completely different from a situation like ps5 vs equivalent pc hardware.
And I said the cons far outweigh the pros, so if it's still a net negative, we don't benefit much, do we? So amazing that we'll get 1-2 years late ports of games we used to get day 1.
And that's so utterly moronic, I don't even know what to say. People want MORE Japanese games. They don't want the same amount that will just happen not to release on other platforms anymore. Come on man.
We're consumers and that doesn't change anything. They will keep producing the same quality games you seem to enjoy, so keep enjoying them. What the hell is the problem?
). So when a multi trillion dollar company decides to buy half the industry on a whim, you're here pretending to be angry that sony defends their interests? Give me a break...
The problem is I don't want to be forced to get them on a specific platform when the same quality could be enjoyed on any platform of my choice.
We've been over that already. Stop going in circles.I have no fake outrage to give, the other competitors to sony have their own exclusives and that's what makes you (or not) buy their hardware. That's how the game's played since the very start. I haven't seen any Mario or Zelda on playstation. I haven't seen any Halo there either (yet
Bloodborne is the GOAT, an exclusive. More of that please, thank you.
You mean like T Three reminded us of the hard on you had when you assumed MS would lock COD to Xbox?? It was extremely entertaining, except this time it might actually happenPeople here just have a hard on at the thought that future souls games will be locked to PlayStation hardware. Thats the advantage. But they won’t admit that and will attempt mental gymnastics to say otherwise. It’s quite entertaining
1- Sorry, that's not up to you. And it was extremely obvious this was your problem with the whole thing. So it's not "our" problem, sounds like a "you" problem
Disagree there. Bloodborne on PS4 performs better than Dark Souls 3 on PS4 for example (the later having framerate drops in addition to frame pacing issues) and much better than the 900p 25fps of the xbox one version.
It’s also the only con.People here just have a hard on at the thought that future souls games will be locked to PlayStation hardware. Thats the advantage. But they won’t admit that and will attempt mental gymnastics to say otherwise. It’s quite entertaining
Nah, it's not a "you" problem. It's a everyone that's not a fanboy problem.1- Sorry, that's not up to you. And it was extremely obvious this was your problem with the whole thing. So it's not "our" problem, sounds like a "you" problem
At the expense of having the worse frame pacing out of the bunch. It's certainly not any more "polished" than the others. It's simply pick your poison.
Those guys are talking as if the reason we haven't been getting Sony Santa Monica or ND's level of polish from From Soft is because they're multiplat. From's exclusives have the same jank quality as their multiplat. Being exclusive didn't stop From from having terrible frame pacing, outdated-ass graphics, ugly-as-sin character models, and still no lip synch in their games.
The level of delusion.
Yes you are quite deluded in this thread.
Oh, look how cute he is. "A no, u" comeback.
Post something worthy of a better response and you might get one.
As expected. Suddenly exclusives are bad again. “But won’t someone think of the poor Xbox and PC gamers!”.
Nah, only Xbox fanboys were happy with that acquisition. Rest didn't like it or we didn't care. I personally was hoping Microsoft would mismanage COD and destroy the franchise so we could be rid of it.
How is that moronic? Killjoy specifically referred to the usual complaints about the lack of first-party Japanese games this gen for Sony, which From Software being part of SIE would help to fix.
