Don't be a pretentious jerk

Microsoft could get away with the parity clause last gen because they held a sales lead for most of the generation. This time developers are speaking out against it after seeing the more favourable terms offered by Sony and the sales advantage they have taken early in the gen.

Another factor is how much emphasis Sony is putting on Indie games themselves, even showing them live at big events.

Microsoft have made great strides in turning around their attitude ...

They're still targeting the core gamer demographic which is smart at this point in the game.

Even though price is their bigger trump card, they will save that until later when it's even cheaper and within the range of the more casual gamers.

Damn those MP trophies, when will they learn!

I don't think the 60fps sweet spot is 100% necessary in an arcade style racer. NFS managed all this time at 30.

Driveclub will likely be great either way.

Because more people do not share this opinion than those that do?

I stream my movies/music from a media sever enabled NAS.

This won't work for me.

Luckily my smart TV has streaming capabilities until they patch it into PS4.

Having an opinion that differs is fine and even expressing that opinion in opposition of another is also fine. However, being a jerk about it doesn't help your cause.

Always remember Wheatons law :)

Well yeah, you missed the point though. People, especially the media, have been saying one thing or another will topple the reign of consoles for well over 2 decades. They were wrong then and they're wrong now.

Ha, funny how history repeats itself but nobody learns. Consoles have been doomed for 23 years...

Maybe there are, I couldn't name them could you? Either way that's not the original intent of video games was my point. Although you could argue that to become art you have to allow the creator to express even harmful agenda and opinion through their medium. I guess that's a different matter though.

OK this comment came out unintentionally dirty, so just stop what you're thinking right now :P

It's a terrible pun on Jonathan Blow's name nothing more. If you read something else into it then maybe it's you who should "grow up".

edit: also the groans were for the bad joke!

Hyped for this game, looks like it's going to a great mix of exploration and puzzles.

I think people will be BLOWn away

*listens to the echoes of 1m groans*

Video games have used the many various and contradicting religions of the world as inspiration for a long time and that's fine.

However, trying to find enlightenment, forcing an agenda into or reading something that isn't there is not wise. Video games, like movies, demand a certain level of suspension of disbelief. It's this blurring of the lines of reality that can draw people in and to most that isn't a problem. It only takes a few to start drawing thing...

@tiger tom

Your link says that PS4 is at 2.4m and Bone at 1.9m

?

I have hated every assassin's Creed since the second one and even I've been convinced by Black Flag.

Maybe it's just that I like the setting a lot more than any of the previous games or the fact that it runs and looks fantastic on PS4, who knows. All I know is I'm enjoying the franchise again because of it.

As far as I know most devices don't support it as of now. Well, most mobile phones, tablets etc. Even most PCs (without a dongle).

Also comparing the connections speeds like that is iffy, there could be a lot more people on PSN at the time of your test for example, there are more conditions you have to consider.

Really though, if you're so bothered about online gaming that you would base your entire console choice on connection speed, you really shoul...
