I got like 6 games already (money in the virtual wallet reserved for Switchback too) waiting for tomorrow. Probably the most excited I've been for a hardware launch since the Dreamcast. Really good time to release too. Switch is on its last legs and Xbox has no games if you have an IndiePass sub. I can freely support both of Sony's platforms. The only question is what to play first?
PS4 outsold Series X/G. Guess the steam's running out for the little trailer park console that could, eh? Can't sell consoles or games, no wonder IndiePass is all they focus on. Right on cue, Atomic Heart up next
@ pork you do realize that woosh you hear was his joke flying right past your head?
be careful.....you're not allowed to mention that game around here.
P.S. The thing is people back then in periodicals were questioning whether or not Nintendo could pull off 3D since their games were so 2D dominant. Not only did the game turn out fantastic but really it was them proving those naysayers wrong
I'm afraid to say those days are over for hardware amigo. The last major price drop was the 3DS. Companies tend to cater to the software side nowadays. Sony did a bang up job tech wise for VR2. I'm already onboard. I just hope they have the same commitment with their devs. I expect them to do the heavy lifting this gen. Horizon, GT7, and Switchback in the 1st 30 days is a great start no doubt. Dreaming for a Sons of the Forest VR2 port
sully, believe it or not, this game sold me on VR. I figured if they can make kayaking look fun, hot damn we're onto something. This game's gonna be my relaxing zen game
save yourself the wall of text. Nobody reads them. Why wouldn't we discuss sales of games n consoles on a gaming site? Data cuts through the bullshit on N4G. It's why you don't see the usual fucking twits posting here. Hard to spin this
you have to admit though, Sony has never had a drought like MS has had the past 2 years. They sold a sub service based on Day1 1st party titles and literally had none. Comes off as a surprise to no one Xbox fans are championing a bunch of 3rd party IPs. I think they really don't realize all the other platforms are getting those too plus a few more
why should they copy it dum dum? Sony sells more software than Nintendo and MS combined. Back to the trailer
ha surgical, you know how to illicit the responses from the 12 yr old Xbox fans don't you? I always find it amusing they cling to GOTY Nintendo or 3rd party games like they were internally developed at Redmond. God can you imagine the release when a MS game finally earns GOTY? The rest of the internet will have to take a week off
no doubt. They had to go back and recode elements of the game due to VR2's new tricks, like the improved foveated rendering. You know something's gonna be good when the devs say "it changes the way you experience VR" and "can't go back" within 10 seconds of each other (around 6:30 mark). No light leaks, subtleness of the haptics, controller light years ahead of VR1, very ergonomic to the point where one of the devs suggest players will be able to play longer s...
truthfully the answer has always been there. NPD has said 3rd party sales have decreased 3 straight years on Xbox. Only the sheep believed the absurdity of Uncle Phil.
these games are the worst genre for nickel and diming their customers. Learned that the hard way for Tropico 2. My advice; play the base game if you can via GP and wait for a GOTY edition. I like to support developers but no way am I paying over $84 again on base game plus DLC only to see them lump it altogether and put it for $8 on Steam 6 months later
when Shu and Yamauchi speak there's a lot of honesty behind it. Always has been. Remember when Shu listed off Journey as one of his favorite games on the PS3 he welled up, voice cracking as he recounted a tragic story involving a family who played it. There's passion in their wares. Dammit Yamauchi-san got me to buy VR2 AND a steering wheel!
I'm with ya homie. Didn't care Sony had to raise them. Don't care now. Young padawans need to learn the concept of inflation. Doesn't matter if the system is underpowered, professionals in the hundreds still worked on the game. I don't work for free why should they? Better yet imagine Nintendo trying to lowball new hires because they're not working with modern assets and power! "You're only getting 60 instead of 80 because you're coding for the Switch&quo...
they can close shop n still continue? Who the fuck cares about Windows?
Fact is they make operating systems not games. And it shows
that's the King effect. Like you said, WoW, Diablo, Overwatch player bases have declined in recent years. CoD is a short term goal. Acquiring the biggest mobile publisher in NA is the long term goal. Remember what MS desires is to get all platforms under their control. They can't do that with phones with Google and Apple entrenched in the market and their own products flops. So they went after the largest content creator to achieve that end
People here like the propagate the myth IndiePass has helped MS close the gap and compete with Sony. Simply not true. If you compare flagship models, PS5 is outselling Series X 3:1. Any reputable link has Xbox consoles at nearly a 50/50 split between the X and G in sales. Series G has disguised the dominance a bit but I predict 40-50mil disparity again this gen. Serious question: How many copies does Starfield sell w/o Xbox and PS owners? I betcha we'll get gobsmacked with 50 articles fr...
it would be a home run for VR2, I'm treating this as almost a separate ecosystem. In hindsight thank god for IndiePass and Nintendo squeezing every penny out of the Switch. Gives me more coin to spend on these games.
