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.
It does, as seen on one shot at the end of the HW reveal.
I believe high quality pictures will soon be available on Sony’s website.
I am pretty sure you are underestimating the impact of this show.
Sony confirms that they will double know on their exclusive strategy.
Third party big games make their debut in this Sony show (RE8). Even if they are not exclusive to PS5 that is a strong message to gamer community on third party support.
PS5 design is now revealed, much more audacious that what have been expected and far more distinctive than the bland SX design.
Sony ...
If what we have seen is representative of in game graphics, i wonder if RE8 will come on current gen. What they presented does not seems possible on PS4 in my opinion.
Yeah, too bad MS doesn’t follow Sony’s idea to make good games, and rechargeable gamepad.
Impressive presentation, amazing console design. Future is bright PS players!
Now, the long wait begins for Horizon Forbidden West release.
I was talking about my personal sentiment of this article tone and content.
Seems like everyone both sides are eager to see proposed exclusive content on these new platforms, so it is for me still surprising that MS is not using more this card in it PR strategy and serve us another round of BS « vision »
I was on the impression that it didn’t do them a lot of good last gen.
Great paid publicity article: big numbers, punchy phrases, evasive as f..k, full of nothing.
More seriously, the tone seems kind of shy to me, like MS is knowing that it got no more left to counter PS5 event tomorrow and is starting to drop the ball.
Certainly true for third party cross platform games.
But that also means that first party PS5 could propose designs not achievable an SX.
If that is the case, and on key gameplay mechanics differentiators, that could be the final blow to SX.
Having a FPS or resolution difference between 2 platforms is one thing.
Having core gameplay features only achievable on one platform is on an all other level.
All in all this new generatio...
I will believe in the renewed gamer centric vision when I will see the games in the stores.
MS is playing this card for years know since One X launch, and as never delivered so far.
Come on dude, think about it one second.
Assuming XSX is 20% more powerful, if PS5 is running something at 4K/30fps it will run at 4K/36fps on XSX.
To run it at 4K/60fps will require two times the power of the PS5. Two times!
How this XSX 4K/60fps for everything non sense can continue to go one except for pure blindness?
Even with the 40% power difference between One X and PS4 pro today it is not the case, look at RE3 remake f...
Please drop the link of averted HB2 real gameplay video. I am curious to see it.
My point also, I don't see any improvement from MS on this launch vs last gen, they are lost in the same daily bullshit PR saturating gamer's interest.
At least, if things turns bad on the sale front at launch, Spencer will be accountable for real, no more "the previous guy broke it" excuse.
Let's hope anyway that MS is just faulty of poorly handled communication and will be able to give some meat to their fans.
60fps 3D games exists even for console only players since PS1 area.
We don't need Phil Spencer or anyone explain us what it fells like, everyone knows it and is able to translate this feeling vs Youtube videos.
That is for me the lamest part of this interview, a big corporation VP knowing better than a community of passionate gamer how gaming feels...
I don't get the link between your comment and the article.
If you are implying Sony former exclusive coming on PC is a fail for Sony, you should think twice.
PS5 is out in a couple of months, Horizon is a 3 years old exclusive which must not bring a lot of console sales now but a highly anticipate title for PC gamers which will sell a lot.
It is more a win on both side, general gamer community will be able to play this title, Sony which co an...
This thing is not dead already?
