Uh huh. It's generation, not decade.
Let's be real, I suspect you didn't play either game. Not sure what's to gain from knocking Respawn, though. I'm guessing it's somehow related to fanboy wars, but I think we'd be lucky if more devs delivered like they have this gen.
You act like making 2 successful games in a six year span isn't actually pretty damn impressive.
Titanfall 1, Titanfall 2, Apex, and now Fallen Order are all quality titles. All from a brand new studio somehow succeeding despite the succubus that is EA.
I'll give credit where it's due with those guys.
So you haven't played 1/2 of their games but felt we would enjoy your opinion all the same?
Nah, we're good. Appreciate the thought though.
No pub likes the used game market. Quit the fanboy nonsense. They are pushing subs and digital that will negatively impact used games, but at least the devs make money off of it. They continue to make $0 off of those used games.
The rest of your ideas aren't going to do much. Redbox couldn't make kiosk rentals work despite minimal overhead, and we know the fate of every other brick and mortar rental business. Gamestop rental business will see a similar fate (and th...
Mostly PC emulation anymore. It was PS3, but I've had to repair a few times due to YLOD, and I'm hoping to let that fat boy rest awhile.
If PS5 doesn't have BC with PS1 and PS2, it won't stop me from still using emulation on PC, correct. So we can't ask Sony "Will PS5 be BC with these old systems?" What's your point exactly?
It would still be better to play on one system and enjoy the physical library I've collected o...
I bought one of those TEAC all in 1 turntables to specifically let me play all manners of audio files. Bad example.
But nobody is saying that BC is THE reason to buy a system. Leave the strawman out of it. I've watched people downplay BC for years with the lame "I buy new systems for new games" defense. Stop advocating for lesser consumer experiences. Those of us who want better from these tech giants would appreciate it.
That statement means the same to me, but doesn't that result in fair questions?
The questions for me are: if not 100%, what percentage; what is preventing their compatibility; what games aren't compatible; etc. All pretty fair and logical questions.
Plus, they specifically highlight compatibility with PS4. What about older gens?
I don't understand why we can't ask these questions as OP implies. It's OK to be curious...
"Grown" is very subjective.
Also, isn't Phil's background in programming too?
I enjoy buying a new TV to only watch new shows, a new DVD player to only watch new movies, and new stereos to only listen to new music.
If only technology existed that would allow me to buy new hardware that let me enjoy new content while still enjoying the media I already own.
If only...
As someone that enjoys Sony's games more than their stock prices, yes BC matters to me.
Plus, we've only gotten Sony's statements that they are "working on complete compatibility" with PS4. That's not quite as confident as I would like to hear, and it fails to again address the fact that we know from history that, despite having the hardware to do it, they've chosen to not implement BC in the past.
Questions should be asked....
Good idea.
In your free time, maybe share your wealth of programming knowledge directly with Epic. Then maybe they can solve the mystery of "how to program a shopping cart for an online store."
Really?
I don't know how to make a phone, but I wouldn't excuse a new manufacturer if their first release used a rotary dial.
Look at the features that it's still lacking and explain this insurmountable programming challenge that they're facing.
Not much of an excuse when the template is already there in front of them.
I do think some people are mature enough to recognize that it sucks knowing that some people can't enjoy a game we like for one reason or another. While there isn't much we can do about it because we know it's a smart business move, mocking them for it doesn't make any sense to me.
There's been about a dozen articles in the last week praising Xbox's 2020 release schedule. I don't see where you're "countering" OPs point.
If MS is smart, they have a bunch of 3rd party exclusives lined up for the next few years to go along with whatever their 1st party is up to. That would counter his point.
No matter what it was called, these non-gaming consumers would be confused. You'll be lucky if they know enough to recognize the difference between an "Xbox" and a "Playstation."
MS announced the naming a year in advance for a reason. With the move to a more fluid cross-gen transition, little Timmy will be fine even if his uninformed parents buy him an older model and for whatever reason refuse to exchange it like they do the millions of other times...
The irony is lost on many.
Oh well, they're too busying making another meme highlighting its unique name and appearance!
It's just their new branding. No coincidence we also have now seen the Surface Pro X and Windows 10 X.
They seem to be pushing "X" as their premium and advanced brand designator.
Read the title of the article.
Nah, let's see what they can do as a truly independent dev for awhile. Hopefully MS can cut them a discount on server space though.
I wouldn't mind seeing MS or someone else write them a check to make something new while their main team works on D2 & eventually 3 though.
By something new, I mean Marathon 4.
