We all know what microsoft wants And that is to get on top of the OS game again.
Think about this for a sec back in ur 2000 Microsoft's window OS accounted for nearly 70 to 80% of the OSs in the market. Now per last devices metric Windows only account for 14% of the OSs out there with Android at nearly 50% market penetration and iOS on part with windows penetration.
The world is changing as the mass market becomes more App and tablet centric. The only way microsof...
I'm okay with getting the core game now and continuing to recieve boat loads of free content throughout the year like Driveclub which received an unprecedented amount of post launch content support . I'd rather take that over getting the game next year personally.
They've said it for sometime that the story content will come later a la GTA V.
Get the game sooner or wait longer for the rest of it. Lesser of the two evils.
This is what u call defacto exclusive.. Get a lot of that on the ps4. Teams are small can only develop one platform at a time of course they go with the platform with 2:1 userbase over the other. Sony comes along sweetens the pot by saying lets make it a full yr exclusive with marketing support, etc.
Best of both worlds for the dev team. Let's be honest here sonys curation team did a bang up job here they saw the potential in this game when no one even had a clue and bril...
@donthate
Don't hate.
So basically first mission could benefit from locked 30fps but second mission hovers around 50 to 55fps.. As DF mentions a dynamic v-sync may help where it's locked to a specific framerate for each area or mission to give it a bit more consistency in gameplay.
Also on the first mission that's just a ton of unnecessary NPCs loitering around.. That's just too jam packed. All ur doing is maneuvering around that main floor to get to the kitchen or other isolated area...
Lol asking Aaron Greenberg the strategic direction of xbox is like asking Trump the details of his policy.
Vague and unclear.
You'd be better off asking phil, someone that actually makes decisions.
Funny how much crap Msft is getting.. might not be a bad idea to just be a tiny bit more transparent about their releases and exclusivity status.
I'd recommend they adopt those exclusivity category "badges" sony seems to be consistently using this year.
"Only on Playstation"
"PS4 Console Exclusive"
"PS4 Console Debut"
Does anyone know if the PC version will use Denuvo? I know its been mainly Sq Enix/Avalance at the moment.
Just wondering if we'll get another Johnathan Blow like comment from Sam Lake on its release date, cause this games looking like its gonna be coming in hot and would suck for it to be tarnished by a bunch of pirates.
What people have to realize both Sony and Microsoft are doing things that benefits whatever their strategic goal is.
Sony, more specifically the playstation divisions first party world wide studios is to beef up ps4's library to make it a differentiator from the competition. There is no(very little) strategic value in releasing on PC. Sony even sold off its Sony Online game division not that long ago.
While Microsoft is desperately as a company trying to...
Nope to the article. Sony has two key things going for them indies prefer playstation over Xbox and ps4 has almost double the market penetration over Xbox making for it the defacto platform for any releases that are constrains by time/money.
Ps4 killing it with both great console exclusives and platform exclusives. Looking foward to learning more about Nioh.
Whose doing content curation these days on sonys side? I know adam boyes is in charge but is he still hitting the field to gobble up these games for playstation or folks on his team running with it on the ground?
@matt
You should try reading the article. He is right, in sonys financials they report shipped at 37.5 mil, but via holiday NPD obligatory statement they stated sold through of 35.9 mil. So as article states a lil over a mil sitting on shelves.
So bottom line quite a feat Sony was able to move as many consoles in a single quarter that is on par with Microsoft's Xbox entire 2015 sales.
I guess my problem is it almost makes it sound like the ps4 could have run higher if not artificially capped to simulate some sort of parity.
"The sense is Microsoft's platform has been heavily factored in at the start of development to keep performance solid, despite PS4 turning in a slightly more concrete 30fps return overall.
it's remarkably tight on both systems for most of the duration, but the PS4's absolute consistency in all cases is creditable.
However, with a 30fps cap in place, any true frame-rate margin between these machines is shrouded in mystery, with only hints of t...
Apparently "Xbox One beta - though the lowest figure we've logged comes in at 1728x972 (or 81 per cent of a full HD resolution)."
"Xbox One beta - though the lowest figure we've logged comes in at 1728x972 (or 81 per cent of a full HD resolution)."
So Xbox version clocks in as low as 972? I thought someone said lowest was 1008..
Think u got it backwards there bub if anything it's the Xbox version that might hold up well to the PS4 considering the Xbox is the inferrior hardware not that it needed saying.
All I read is blah blah blah let's make a mountain out of molehill for hits.
Yes no name site we see through your agenda.
No, it's the other way around.
Sony always goes on the second day of E3 with or without microsoft. It's just the way it's always been. It's microsofts the one that decided to go ahead of Sony.
