+Christopher,
I share the opinion that Backwards Compatibility is always an asset, but it can never really be considered a prime, marquee selling point for any section of a user base; Casual gamers are less likely to have big deep libraries of video games, so BC can be all but worthless to them. With regard to Hardcore gamers who are more likely to have large libraries of gaming software from multiple console generations, they are far more likely to purchase a new console ...
*Double Post* :)
"A Game made by adults, for adults."
Sony summed their argument up very nicely. This isn't the 1980's and < anymore; Over the past 20 years or so, Videogames have been considered more of a recreational medium for adults than kids.
I sincerely don't mean to disparage the Xbox One X itself as a console, but this article is just dripping and pouring with subversive promotion and journalistic insincerity and hyperbole:
"This is also a good example of how Microsoft is catering to its fans. It may not be delivering on a steady stream of exclusives, but it is doing things people really want."
Does this writer, Jenni Lada, sincerely think that GAMERS are more satisfied with f...
This is probably the closest gamers are ever going to get for a "Loaded" remake.
VforVideogames, Likewise, you can thank Sony and its fantastic job at engineering and marketing the PS4 before and immediately following launch for the Xbox One abandoning the whole Always Online infrastructure that Microsoft had intended. Everyone but the most delusional Xbot agreed that the Xbox One was a train set for complete disaster before they "flipped the switch".
Hey everybody! Be careful because I just found the turd in the punch bowl.
Hopefully that sentiment will hold true for any Story DLC for MGS5.
Thumb up if you remember "Loaded" for PSone and Saturn. The Hong Kong Massacre looks just like I would expect a current-gen remake of Loaded to look like.
Mikefizzled, are you posting all the way back from 2002???
Aside from the fact that it is disclosed that this trailer was showcasing in-game graphics, most games today easily impress graphically just as much with their in-game graphics as any prerendered graphics.
Hell yeah! Anybody got some hot cocoa???
Whoo! :)
Sony is killing it today and Sucker Punch is without a doubt one of their best studios/partners, so just this teaser makes me pretty excited. Sony just keeps reminding me of why I own and game on Playstation.
WHOA!!!
Count me in, DUDE!!! /s
"Super Mario Odyssey re-solidifies this statement, cementing Nintendo's mascot as a model hero for each and every one of us."
Well that may just change pretty soon. Now the whole Wacko Liberal society is now deeming Mario as "Racist" and "Discriminatory" because it is a character, designed by Japanese people, that makes light of "demeaning and childish" Italian stereotypes.
Seriously. A good segment of the Amer...
Sony really needs to choke Xbox a little more this Holiday season by announcing a $100+ price drop to PS Pro.
It would practically be a touchstone in Playstation history if all seven (or hell at least a majority) of the announcements are revivals of classic Playstation franchises that PS gamers have been clamoring for.
New Syphon Filter???
New Twisted Metal???
New Legend of Dragoon???
New Medieval???
New Jak and Daxter???
But then I'm still waiting for Bloodborne 2.
Call me crazy, but I think statements about the viability of the PlayStation Neo against the Xbox Scorpio shouldn't be made until...oh I don't know...the specs for BOTH consoles are actually announced. I mean that is something that any reasonable, objective person that isn't already a fanboy would do. The Playstation 4K/Neo/Whatever hasn't even been formally revealed yet.
Right, because people that were just speculative about games having an always-online feature (which is what is required to use the "cloud" capabilities.) or who don't just mindlessly buy into some marketing hype MUST BE SONY FANBOYS! /s
@ gangsta-red
Having an always-online multiplayer isn't an issue these days. What is is the prospect of having to be online to play single-player campaigns, and in order for the cloud capabilities to transfer...
"I love watching you Squirm :)"
Well I learn from the best, from people like you and Foxtrot that misinterpret plain English and then start to huff and puff over comments that they do not even understand.
America surely isn't bowing to them, because the SJW's are losing the culture war more and more every week.
Being offended at Everything is seriously their way of life.
