Going exclusively one platform?

[TommoAE86]

Has anyone gone from their console to exclusively PC? All of my computers have been pretty underpowered compared to my Playstations, but since I splashed out a not inconsiderable sum my new PC is now at least on par with my PS4 in terms of graphics/power and is alot quicker at loading. The only thing that stopping me from trading in my PS4 is that I much prefer the controllers over the

Has anyone switch from consoles to PC and have you wished you hadn't or felt you missed out on anything?

Does anyone know how to make the PS4 triggers sensitive on PC?
*I have the software to make it work
*Right now the PS4 triggers are an on/off switch - useless even when playing arcade games like GRID

Is there a way to make the Xbox360 controller triggers more comfortable?

What would you do for upcoming releases? For example No Man's Sky comes out next month but I can't decide whether to get it on Steam or PS4...

I have the DS4 Windows thing and my PS4 controller works amazingly well for things where I just need it to be an on/off switch, so for Assassin's Creed/Farcry/FPS' it's fine.

Are there further settings in the DS4 to play with to improve the functionality? I have a feeling if I get it working properly my PS4's days are numbered.

Thanks guys, I guess I need to play with DS4 settings to see if I can unlock the PS4 controller triggers abit better as that's the only thing stopping me from going full PC. I currently have a wired and wireless 360 controllers which I use for the racing games.

conkerman I'm afraid it's too late to change it now as it's been built and delivered.



I'm happy with the I7 as do use photoshop and am thinking of utilising video capture & editing capabilities when I play games.
Fair enough on the sound cards, I'd heard it would just take abit of a load off the CPU but I guess I have over-egged mine to the point it's probably unnecessary.

I am frustrated that older games just don't want to play properly on PC, like the original Need For Speed Underground and C&C Generals for example
However I am enjoying Steam and the massive availability of all different game genres and even alot of exclusives are coming onto PC (things like MGS:V etc)

SturdyHSV, I am like you, had PS since PSX (I've still got it actually) and Gran Turismo since number one, it's a game I'd miss (despite not getting 6). I suppose it could be the slow release of any decent games on the PS4 that's annoying me more than anything.

What racers are people playing? I've got Dirt Rally on the PS4 but have struggled to get motivated to play it just as I'm using my PC alot more.

I suppose I could have both but I just feel it's abit of a waste having both when one is barely used at all. I will have a look at Project Cars and see if I warm to it enough to buy it.

No Man's Sky is the next game I'm definitely getting but unsure which platform to get it on, and hence this thread.

Conkerman here's everything in it's "just before I dust it" glory

Ok so I downloaded and installed DS4, it registers my controller brilliantly and I can see the triggers working as triggers rather than buttons. Unfortunately none of my racing games recognise the controller (still works on Assassin's Creed though). It's an annoying thing having to mess around but I guess it's the only annoyance

Anyone got any DS4 knowledge to get the PS4 controller recognised in any of my driving games?
