PC Gaming to Console Gaming

Arunalan Arno · Oct 30, 2016

Hi dudes, i am a PC Gamer for more than 15 years, and i love it.And now i am starting to have attraction towards Console Gaming.But i'm really confused whether to upgrade a new processor for my PC or shed some bucks to buy a PS4.

So i had some conversation with my friends about it,and one of my friend said that i have to insert the game disc every time to play any game and that the inbuilt hard drive is only to store game saves and online downloadable content.But i completely denied it,so is that true or i'm wrong?

And my main reason for buying PS4 is exclusive games and online multiplayer.I am living in India,
here my internet speed is just 1-2 mbps,so can i able to play multiplayer games with this amount of low internet speed.

Thanks for your replies in advance!!!

The PS4 (new one) has the rough desktop equivalent hardware of an Athlon X4 860K, RX 480, 8GB of RAM and a hard drive. The OS has a few benefits.

It's probably better to upgrade your PC then buy a new console that uses entry level grade PC parts.

Even my old GTX 780 makes games look massively better than an Xbox One or PS4 @ 1080p and can maintain 60 fps in most. Unless money is tight I wouldn't go console, I have an Xbox One and hardly ever use it for gaming as the PC is so much better.

don't do reverse evolution!!!!!!!!!!!!! PC MASTER RACE!!!!

Jokes aside, If the game you are interested in are for console only then get a console. But if you like all games and you like to go from game to game amd not stick to one game untill they release a new version of the game. Then PC will be your choice, Upgrade your computer.

I hope this helps.

Yes you are correct and i accept PC is always better than consoles when it comes to gaming performance.
But i can copy and install the game to my hard disk and play it in PC,can i do the same in PS4 or should i have to insert the game disc each and every time to play a game?

Depends if you buy a digital copy or disc, the disc copy needs the disc in the drive

so you're saying that i can't copy the setup from disc to hard drive and play,if so is it good to buy one with less memory space only to store OS and updates?

With a disc copy you still need to install it but you need the disc in the drive to play it. I wouldn't get less than 1TB, 500gb fills up fast. You have the media to thank for this, they kicked up a stink when Microsoft announced they would all be a digital licence which made selling games a little harder but still possible. In the end MS reverted back to the old way of doing things and Sony who admitted they wanted to do the same decided to not even try.
