Sony and gamers that have a Playstation + a PC

spicelicka3603d ago

What about people that have PS and an Xbox?? Why does it have to be PC.

Hoffmann3603d ago (Edited 3603d ago )

spicelicka

Because you have a ton more games to choose from, you have all the mod stuff, better graphics and last but not least often better price options as well.

Even with a "bad" pc you can run the majority of the recent games

naruga3603d ago (Edited 3603d ago )

Sony ...although i almost broke my PC with Crash- still- in- Activision hands and RE7 abomination

Livecustoms3603d ago

I Have a Ps4 and Laptop, but no way my laptop will be able to run those Xbox One games, so your statements kinda wrong but i see were your coming from.

mcstorm3603d ago

haha I love how people say XYZ won. Lets be real and say us gamers won. For me Forza Horizon, Zelda and BF1, Recore and TitanFall 2 have me wanting them.
Its each to there own but to say Sony, MS or Nintendo won is just a fan boy coming out.

darthv723603d ago

Gamers won. We always win, it's our wallets that lose.

@Spic- "What about people that have PS and an Xbox?? Why does it have to be PC"

Because if you have a PS and XB you already have a limited selecton.

The only publisher on XB that was making exclusives, is now making their games on PC too, thus. by default the PS PC combo makes sense.

You get all the titles on both PC and PS4, you won't on PS and XB.

Everything MS will publish will be on PC, thus why get a limited XB that won't have all PC games?

I'd rather have the PS / PC combo as its getting everything anyway, or most I should say.

Titles only on PC you not see on PS4 or XONE, titles clearly made by MS will be on PC, so why support lessor?

FITgamer3603d ago (Edited 3603d ago )

Exactly. Best combo. You get the PS4 exclusives, PC exclusives(games/mods), better priced games, and Xbox One "exclusives".

ThanatosDMC3603d ago

Sony hands down. It was game after game after game. Doesn't even include all the indie games that are coming out.

gamer78043603d ago

I like the idea of a console + pc, but i'm going to stick with playstation and xbox. Too many games that just crash, perform poorly, one i bought a couple weeks ago wouldn't even launch. and i have a basic i5 nvida combo with 16b of ram...

i'm going to stick with consoles for now, if there is a game thats only on pc that i want, i'll try to play it there, but otherwise on consoles.

I agree Sony and PS4 gamers won I mean we are being hit with Exclusive after Exclusive. There is so much coming that there was no room or time to show everything. I was disappointed in EA and Microsoft. This is sad but I'm more excited about Pokemon Sun and Moon than anything Microsoft showed..

sangoku_d3603d ago

and pc gamers that like xbox games for some reason

AnubisG3603d ago

Have to agree with that. Sony showed us so many awesome games that there was no doubt in my mind after I've seen the conferences.

AngelicIceDiamond3603d ago

Or gamers in general my Xbox isn't dry coming this year and next.

jessionpc3603d ago

WTF is with these articles? Jesus how many people have to write the same fkn thing?!

Get a JOB! Go work at mcdonalds, flip a burger FFS... It was awesome the first 1-2 articles, but now I've seen like 3 dozen of these, "who won", floating around...

Everyones gotta get in on that youtube/journalist Ad money...

So many games to look forward to. Can't wait for PSVR, Horizon and of course Zelda.

Stapleface3603d ago

I was super happy to see PsVR releasing 2 weeks earlier than the previous release date. The soon the better. Horizon can't come soon enough. That game looks so good.

affrogamer3603d ago

how many times are we going to get these articles? It was easy money for Sony btw

Stapleface3603d ago (Edited 3603d ago )

I enjoyed both the Microsoft and Sony conference. A few things I'd like to play from both. A few yawn worthy games from both as well. New games wise I think God of War looked the best. I for one enjoyed the Scorpio reveal. I look forward to the same from Sony for Neo. I'm not going to pretend like every console owner has a pc capable of running God of War 4 at worth while settings all of a sudden. Nor are they going to run out and build one. So I don't see the play anywhere as a negative for the MS show like some do.
edit: If I had to pick, I'd go Sony just because they showed more new games. Hardware is nice, but it's useless without games.

Pongwater3603d ago

I didn't think MS did badly at all, but Sony won convincingly imo. There have been years when I thought Sony would really need to bring the heat in order to win. This wasn't one of those years, but Sony brought the heat anyway.

Really loved the preview, and enjoyed seeing what you had to say about it as well!

On another note, the article mentions posting the video once you are allowed to—were you given a different embargo date for it? We were simply told the article and video footage were restricted until 8:00 AM Central Time.

Xbox boss: Memory crisis could impact next-gen hardware pricing

Xbox boss Asha Sharma has discussed how component shortages will impact the company's plans for Project Helix.

Lexreborn212h ago

This kind of proves this is an after thought product, most products like this are in r&d 5 years before they start mass producing. So they typically have the cost of components and things worked out long before assembly starts.

This is an assumption still, but I wouldn’t be surprised if project helix is similar to Scalebound,perfect dark and sod3. They had an idea but no actual execution other than concept stage. Being impacted by the ram shortage likely would also put this device 3-4 years out.

I’m not even sure MS has that endurance with Xbox yet

Fishy Fingers9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I mean.... what?

We're at a point that Samsung wont even provide their own phone department ram because they can sell it at higher prices to 3rd parties (AI). Its more profitable to sell the ram than make their own devices with it.

You think because R&D starts 5 years ago the 3rd party component manufacturers will honour that price? They'll sell it to whomever is paying the most today, not some gentlemens agreement they made years ago. AI farms will buy more volume at higher prices than any console manufacturer will. It'll be the same for Playstation.

Sitdown5h ago

You don't really know how this works huh?

Profchaos9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Helix is going to be stupidly expensive

Instead of leaning into smarter upscaling techniques they're brute forcing hardware that will cost them dearly and it remains to be seen if it's genuinely going to provide a meaningful differential

I know in the oc.doace people like to brag about not using frame gen or dlss to get to high on a game but for the majority of players they happily use those technologies without a second thought

That's going to be ps6 vs Helix

blacktiger9h ago

It's called systematic inflationary. Yes we get it Microsoft, keep raising in the name ofall kinds of stuffs

pwnmaster30008h ago

Honestly if there was thing I learned from this generation is that new consoles arnt day one anymore.
I can wait 1-3 years.

DarXyde7h ago

Another important lesson from this generation: while Nintendo showed us that prices don't necessarily need to ever drop, we've now learned that waiting 1-3 years does carry some risk that prices increase. This generation is just bizarre in all the wrong ways.

LucasRuinedChildhood6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

The factors are largely external. Covid and Russia-Ukraine war causing inflation led to the first price increase in 2022.

Then we get Trump's tariffs increasing hardware prices, AI boom causing a RAM crisis, war on Iran causing a worldwide fuel crisis which impacts the cost of everything.

Gaming doesn't exist in a vacuum. The last few years have been a shitshow and lot of it was definitely avoidable.

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg1d 8h ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k41d 5h ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS1d 8h ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6913h ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
