I have a question and hope someone can help. My son is 13 and has an XBox one (along with some other systems but this is the main one) and LOTS of games. For the past year, he’s been talking about getting a gaming console (gaming computer) specifically to play, GTA, farming simulator, and BMG Drive. I have no clue what type of console to get him. He wants something with a lot of Harddrive. I’m also not looking to spend as much as a used car on this either. I have no doubt he would get good use out of it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent console that will allow enough storage to download those three that won’t put me in the poor house? I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Console gaming PS5

I want to get a console and im think of getting either of these. Ive never bought a console and have no experience in gaming. I have only played some fifa 14, minecraft, roblox and some ps2 emulated games like spiderman 3 and dragon ballz shin budokai. I like fifa and roblox a lot tho. You are free to give your suggetions. Note: I am planning to get the consoles second hand.

I recently got a Nintendo Switch and it is great fun playing odyssey, mario party and kart. and I'm wondering if I should sell my PS4 along with the 10 games I have (major titles, GTA, RDD2,COD,HL etc.) for it. I don't use it much anymore, but I'm not sure if it’s worth keeping or if I should sell it. What do you guys think?

Hi i have a question. I want to have my ps5 connected to monitor and tv but i would also like pc connected to monitor as well. The monitor only has one HDMI port. I want them all connected without constantly unplugging and moving cables around . What device or devices would help me achieve this? I know there are HDMI spitters and switches , do I need both of these or just one ?

Me (Xbox Series S) and my friend (PS4) are trying to figure out what games we can play together. We wanted to play the first Ark game, but neither of us receive the invite when we send it. I assume it’s impossible to play Ark in particular since we have different generation consoles, but does anyone have any suggestions so we can play it? If not, that’s fine. And does anyone have any suggestions for cross-gen games that would work? We can play Minecraft, but that gets boring over time. Thanks!

I have a few switch controller and it we remotes I want them to work on all different consoles for instance I wanna play with my ps5 remote on my Xbox 360 I know I need an adapter but I only have around a 10 to play with can anyone help cheers.

I've been using a Dell S2721DGFA for the last 3 years for both Xbox Series X 120hz gaming and work, connected to my Mac mini on 144hz. Recently, my second monitor, a 4-year-old 1080p Ultragear 144Hz, broke after 10,000 hours of use. I’ve been searching for a replacement for the past week.

I'm considering upgrading to a second 1440p monitor to avoid the hassle of window resizing when moving between the two monitors. Initially, I thought about getting a more affordable QHD 144Hz monitor, like the UltraGear 27GR75Q, which costs around €250. However, I’m also contemplating upgrading to an HDMI 2.1 LG UltraGear 27GR83Q-B as my primary monitor and using the Dell as the secondary. The 27GR83Q-B is currently discounted by €100, bringing its price to €399.

There aren’t many reviews on the new UltraGear, but RTINGS mentions that it can downscale 4K signals, making them look better than native 1440p. Given that I don’t plan to upgrade to a PC anytime soon, I’m concerned that getting a 240Hz monitor might be a waste of money.

My main question is: how much better would downscaled 4K look compared to native 1440p?

My Dell monitor also supports VRR and FreeSync, so the downscaled 4K feature seems to be the only significant advantage of upgrading.

HDR isn’t a major factor for me, as the LG supports HDR400, which isn’t highly regarded.

Is there anything else I’d be gaining with HDMI 2.1 over HDMI 2.0 on my current Dell?

Hi everyone, I am a PhD student studying Human-Computer Interaction at University College London. If you're going to be playing a game on your console (or any other device, including smartphone, laptop or PC) after work then I would really appreciate you taking my survey (see the link below). By taking part, you will also have the opportunity to win a £50 voucher for a gaming store of your choice (or Amazon).

Hey guys and gals, hope all is well and that you are having a great start on your weekends :)

Long story short: I am in the research stages for a project that I have been working on for a long time. Without giving too much away, I am leading a project to develop a gaming related platform that will (if everything goes as planned) stomp every single option there currently is on the market.

We do however need to do research, and it would be so greatly appreciated if you could take 5 minutes of your day to help us answer some questions relating to gaming community platforms and gaming habits.

You can find the survey here: https://forms.gle/9mwR2KV5b4kMnk2g6

It is 100% anonymous and there's no need to even login to Google to answer it. There are 18 questions and 15 of them are required. The last 3 which are open-ended are not required but of course deeply appreciated if you share your insight on those as well.

It means a lot to me and, if everything goes as planned, it will mean a lot to many communities out there as well.

Happy Friday!

From the current situation, it can be seen that companies put more effort into remastered games than creating new ones, which spoils the situation and hinders development…

Hello. I currently own a ps4 and ps5. My fiancé and I are wanting to start playing a game with our friends on pc. They have the ability to load in on Xbox also.

At the moment my fiancé and I play rust. We enjoy it because he gets to raid/defend, pvp, and farm. I on the other hand really enjoy the base upkeep, farming, organizing, and just vibing since I’m trash with a controller when it comes to shooting. We tried ark but it’s just too in depth for us and don’t find as much enjoyment from it and get a little overwhelmed.

After all that, I was wondering if there are any similar games that you could recommend that is cross platform so we all could enjoy. I would really hate to go out and purchase 2 Xbox just to play one game.

Please take this survey to help me answer my research question about video game characters as a fellow video game enthusiast. You get to design your own video game character!

Almost finished the demo, ready to get full game, found a good deal on a EU import but not sure if it would work for a demo made on a US account.

I've tried several brands and multiple models within these brands. I cannot find a wireless headset for PS5 that connects wirelessly to PSN chat with noise canceling and deep bass. I really enjoy the bass in the Sennheiser RS 175. Anyone with suggestions? I've tried Pulse 3D, SS, TB, Audeze, Astro, and a couple others that I do not remember the brand.

Hey there! I just got a PS5 and I've started noticing a lot of small graphical issues on some games. Like textures glitching a bit when you point them with the light on The Last Of Us Remastered (Ps4), low draw distances for shadows on Gran Turismo 7 and weird shadows on GTA V plus a TON of pop in. For some cases I've looked for footage of other people playing and I've seen they look to be normal. I just want to learn to tell apart from a failing GPU to bad optimization and graphical glitches.

I've shown these issues to people who know more than me and they always say it's software related, but I have an OCD with these things and I just keep thinking it could be GPU related. They're not game breaking and they're far away from artifacting. Just wanted to know how do you tell apart? I tested Black Ops Cold War today and the game looks gorgeous, maybe a small pop in with shadows when entering a room but nothing too noticeable, and gave The Last Of Us Part 1 (PS5 remake) and it looks okay too. So is it common for every modern game to come with some graphic nuances like these I described?
