Highly impossible in my opinion.
Xbox business model is heavenly relying on subscriptions.
They can make it disappear by name, but we will still have to pay a sub to use all the features of the ecosystem.
Most likely they will emphase on smart delivery to trick us into thinking we got more for the same price.

All in all, it could summarized as “live up to expectations”.
Almost an impossible task in my opinion, PR was so much pumped, cloudy, confusing and contradictory that I am afraid that whatever they show it can not be sufficient.
Roughly, they insinuated that they will provide the best console ever, 4k60 and even 120fps, for the best value, 100% BC with all Xbox game ever released, with the cheapest game pass access, and a ton of new IPs.

To much talk b...

Before FF7 remake, it was my preferred FF game. I don’t know exactly why but I really enjoy the way Square is handling the characters in FF since XV. Plus, game world got a very strong personality.

I really felt being part of a journey with friends, and the twist in the start screen after beating the game was very touching.

Anyway, regarding the article, it was very dispensable: only new update feature remove in the patch.

Interesting article. I think third party dev will continue to support the Switch, it is something like 50 millions machines market they will not let down.

But for sure, it will not be possible to make direct switch ports of SX/PS5. But something like derivatives games, or heavy reworked games to fit Switch limitation but also takes advantage of its attributes can be a way to follow. Something like what is done with the 3DS.

Interesting comment.
The good think is that whatever SX launch will turns to be, you will see it as a “won”, so both you and Sony fans will be happy.
Life sometimes is well done.

@Chris12 Never talked about Sony showcase.
Just saying that most old games ever with enhanced graphics remains old games by their gameplay structure.
That’s the difference we discuss often between remasters and remakes.

But well, if everyone here is convinced main reason to buy a SX at launch is to re-re-replay the first 2001 Halo, be my guest.

And you are replaying your loss games for how many times ? For sake of better graphics and framerate?
We are all gamers here, don’t try to fool anyone. Except from games from current gen that can benefit to play on next gen, digging up very old games is generally a disappointment, considering all progresses done une game mechanics throughout the years aside of only graphics improvements.

But even if this is the ultimate selling agurment, it is only appeal with die...

What a joke. They really need to stop they are confusing their customers too much by spinning and spinning.

This is so obvious that they pushed the « most powerful console » stuff too far that now we are starting to see glimpses of real next gen footage they will not be able to deliver anything they have insinuated (4k60fps everywhere, 120fps!!!).
Once again, PS5 and XSX will deliver the same level of performances in real live, the differences w...

As soon as the trailer started during PS5 event, it made me a strong « resident evilesque » feeling, so it seems the filiation is there.
But for sure this will not be like the old manor/sewer/secret lab RE pattern and this is for good. RE7 made a bold move for the series in term of gameplay, i’m glad they are still exploring on this way.
RE remake lineup is the one for those who search for a more traditional experience,wait for RE4 remake on that front....

It won’t anytime soon. Contrary to Dark Souls, Demon Souls is a Sony owned IP.

Not sure the circuit used in GT Sports for this comparison is the best choice. I think grass an trees are much better in GT7.
Let’s hope the GT7 will include real time weather change this time.

This could be tackle either by SSD or the amount of RAM that would allow to compensate for SSD speed I suppose.

Anyway, the way next gen consoles have been designed will for sure shake the PC world: high end rigs already have the power, but it is in no way used so far the way new console will allow game design.

I think this will be a gen were the ratio cost vs game quality will return to the console side for some years: baseline cost for a power equivalen...

I anticipated something like that during PS5 event. No way what was presented for RE8 could be proposed on PS4.
This is the best Capcom could do: no sacrifice on the game vision for sake of last gen ties.

Hope more dev will go this way.

That’s a little bit easy. Their is nothing preventing them to « steal the show » even without e3. PS5 event proves that online presentation can have massive impact.
If this is so good, don’t mourn about E3 and give sa more positive message on July event instead of saying that is cannot do justice to your work.

This thing is not dead already?

2073d ago 7 agree1 disagreeView comment

I am afraid you will be disappointed.
Every gen it is the same story, first line up is sparse and still tied to some old gen design choices because 5 years ago no dev kit was finalized for either platform.

What is sure in my opinion is that both Sony and MS are betting in their popular IPs.
That is very good for both camps, but for sure will not make a lot of people switch brands.

Have you played the first Hellblade? Sure It was a gorgeous game, but very specific in term of scope and gameplay: aim to make people understand psychosis with medical professional consultants involved during the game creation.

A really interesting indie game at core, but definitively not a system seller: 6 hours long, no replay value.

I don’t know what Hellblade 2 scope will be, maybe they will shift 100% to AAA this time and make a Horizon like game....

I have estimated the height and width based on the BR tray dimension.
Here is what I got if my calculations are correct:

With stand:
Heigth: 41.2cm
Width: 15.7cm

Without stand:
Heigth: 39.8cm
Width: 10.7cm

This thing is huge, much bigger that PS4 pro, and the biggest PS console ever released.
It is also with stand as large as SX, and much higher (30cm SX vs 41cm here)

The remote makes it return, great.
That was very convinrent on PS3 when used that what BR.
I’m eager to see the inside now.

Everything started with 360 has been lost with the One.
Europe is a PS continent by far now, only England seems to give some consideration to the Xbox.
