So you go and attack Uncharted because you're having trouble conveying a message? No matter how much you try and deny it (and claim to be totally unbiased and/or some kind of Sony fan) you always end up proving otherwise with comments like these. Don't cry foul or claim to be a victim of the 'downplay' when you are one of those very people.
OT: I'm sure they'll keep things going just fine.
Thank you.
@TK-55: Why hold back the visuals for the sake of the console version? Simple. Money. They make more money on the lower-end console versions. Why push the PC as hard as possible with those things in mind? The return won't be the same. I get the sentiment you're after, I'd also prefer harder pushed effects/visuals etc..., but that's just not reality anymore.
So, you ultimately answered your own question when you mentioned Crysis and Metro 2033 (though 2033 re...
I explained them. Neither game was held back by console hardware. Every game has sacrifices, of course, but PC exclusives have less.
It has absolutely nothing to do with 'fear' and each case is different. For starters, involving consoles means they have to dial back on many things (notice very few in-house games from each console manufacturer saw any "downgrades"). Crysis and Metro were pushed as hard as they were because they were very few sacrifices that needed to be made.
For Crackdown, the biggest issue was that it promised too much (and too early).
@rainslacker: I didn't say they were owned by Microsoft. I said they are a Microsoft website (meaning backed/supported).
Exactly.
No, it isn't. There were a few previews that knocked the game (and in a big way). Just because Gamespot or IGN haven't means nothing. And, that is all irrelevant anyway.
You making baseless claims blaming "PS4 peeps" was unnecessary and says more about you than any fans of competing systems. And one thing you have no way of knowing is who can play a game and who can't.
So, let me see if I got this right..... "It's one blokes opinion" now, but earlier, "I think all these naysayers are PS4 peeps with an agenda".
That would be the definition of hypocrisy. Just accept that you made a nonsense claim based on nothing tangible.
Ummmmmmmmm......... Forbes is a Microsoft website.....
Of course you’d attack a PlayStation game.
OT: I’m just realizing this was written by Forbes.
You should listen to the real complaints and the people who actually understand the bigger issue here. Hint: it's not simply about a storefront change (though that is certainly part of it, particularly when the new storefront is as barebones as the Epic Store is in 2019).
The answer? Be a PlayStation.
He never said they couldn't.
Gamers are fickle, but that doesn't change a thing. The only reason the 360 got that leg up on the PS3 was because of Sony's own mistakes. But PlayStation remained the bigger brand. This gen, it really showed just why the two aren't even on the same playing field.
Xbox does not have the global presence of PlayStation.
Really puts those silly, daily, ‘Xbox will topple PlayStation’ articles in perspective. The brands just aren’t even in the same stratosphere.
Congratulations Sony!
Let's say the next gen consoles launch Fall 2020. They should take those two years to work on it and launch it in January 2021 on those systems!
Yes, the gap is really as wide as we think.
The game WAS good, it just released with some issues that never really helped the team recover from, and thus, cost them.
As usual with silly questions like this, the answer is no.
