Something many people also overlook is that multiplatform AAA games often had a technically subpar experience on PS3. Especially Bethesda RPGs. The resolution wasn’t even 720p (imagine how horrible that will look on modern 4k TVs), and the framerate would often fall below 20 fps in intense scenes. It’s a consequence…

Your internet throughput doesn’t make a difference with the quality of cloud streaming, as long as it’s above the minimum. Whether your speed is 1Gbps or 50Mbps, the laws of physics will inevitably spoil the experience in the form of latency. If you’re lucky enough to have a fiber connection (and you connect to the…

Even on PS5, Digital Foundry discovered that so far, none of the games released up to this point actually “need” the 5500 MB/s recommendation. In fact, SSDs that are below that speed actually work in the PS5 as long as the hardware interface is PCIe Gen 4. Games like Rift Apart were shown to exhibit zero noticeable…

The fact that the Deck’s resolution is only 1280x800 also means the throughput requirements for loading graphical assets should be generally lower than on a full-blown PC/PS5/Series X connected to a 4k display.

While it’s a downgrade on paper, in practice, there really aren’t any AAA PC games right now that will actually see a tangible performance drop from this.

Not that white supremacists are known for logical reasoning, but one of their favorite talking points is how non-white women supposedly breed children like rabbits to squeeze the welfare system (never mind that welfare pays significantly less than the actual cost of raising a child, but I digress).

I always thought the Crosstour (and the similar Acura ZDX) were a response to the BMW X6, not the Venza. At least the Venza had a far more practical body style and wasn’t fugly.

Trimming the fat in case of a slowdown in the near future.

The list is technically “the most North American”. Many articles on this topic omit the fact that Canadian and US parts are considered one and the same for determining US content. It’s a holdover from the 1960s Auto Pact. You can even see stickers like this in car dealerships where they show percentage of “US/Canadian…

Everyone’s favorite boogeyman (China) is heavily invested into automation anyway, due to rising labor costs (now more expensive than Mexico) and a demographic crisis (not enough young people for the factories). It’s no surprise that made-in-China quality has skyrocketed over the years. 

Slight correction: Tesla isn’t “offshoring” to China. The Chinese plant serves Asia-Pacific markets. Shipping cars for long distances across oceans is expensive, adds delays, and contributes to climate change, so if they can cut down on that, everyone wins. It’s the same reason why the Berlin plant exists (primarily…

There really needs to be a price cap for EV tax credits regardless of brand and country of manufacture.

All full-sized pickups (and the SUVs sharing those platforms) just scream “America” even if they carry Japanese badges.

Friendly reminder that this “free speech advocate” is deafeningly silent about China, where he does extremely lucrative business. China blocks so much of the internet that it’s easier to list what isn’t blocked, over the mere possibility that such websites could facilitate political dissent. Surely someone who thinks…

100% agree. I mentioned 720p because that’s the max resolution of most PS3 titles, which do not get any performance or resolution enhancements on PS Plus streaming. And of course, US internet infrastructure will ensure cloud streaming never becomes more than a niche feature - which is fine with me, as I will always go…

Throughput isn’t actually the limiting factor for the performance of cloud streaming. Even 10Mbps is sufficient for 720p.

The patent did not actually say “native PS3 emulation on x86 hardware”. It covered the use of emulation to backport trophies into PS1/PS2 games, and while the PS3 was mentioned, there was no clear indication of that moving away from the cloud.

RPCS3 is an impressive feat, but it’s in no state to be launched as a commercial product for the average less tech savvy Joe. If you’re going to release proper PS3 BC via emulation on the PS5, you need to ensure that all supported games work without fuss from start to finish, without any user-end tweaking required.…

I believe PS5 cloud streaming is not available at the moment. All streamable titles are PS4 versions only. 

Fallout 3 and New Vegas run on a potato of a PC and are super cheap on Steam sales.
