PS4 easily won across all categories.
Messiah if there was such a huge disparity between Microsoft and PlayStation matchmaking or online services many would have gravitated to the Xbox one but instead you have this massive concentration around the PS4.
Deep down you know the truth they are very competitive and comparable in their offerings so to call one a joke is untruthful.
I think overall if you look at the 360/PS3 era - PS3 did dominate in terms of exclusives. In the beginning 360 did have some big gets like Bioshock, lost odyssey etc. but after a few years in Microsoft Microsoft stopped getting these. While Sony was cranking out some industry defining titles.
It's ps1 and ps2 days in terms of devs having one massive platform to focus rather than a bunch of splintered consoles. Excited about the rise of 2nd party dev relevance like ninja theory with hellblade, From software and frictional games with titles like Soma, etc.
This is getting petty. Let's say what the elephant in room is - Microsoft screwed up with the horrendous launch of the Xbox one and we the gaming community collectively punished Microsoft (except for the idiotic blind fanboys).
The question I find myself asking has Microsoft done enough to earn my forgiveness under phil? Honestly I don't feel like they've done enough - launching a new powerful console is nice but Phil has not supported fostering games which tel...
It's possible.. all Sony would have to do is stop selling ps4s and Microsoft sell 40 million more xboxs. Pretty simple really
eonjays right. No new games dedicated to the X or Pro just a res bump. Looking for a next gen leap in hardware and games where devs can't support last gen hardware and not hindered by it
I find it bit crummy Microsoft is trying to get out of the middle and put devs and consumers against each other.
Microsoft could pay extra money to have further optimization instead of passing the buck.
Xbox x owners complaining about devs not taking advantage of the hardware - think about this, why would they spend the extra cycles and $$ on something that makes up such a tiny % of the pie?
If Microsoft pays them that's a different story.
People need to get grounded in reality.. the X is not going to turn the tide nor will it even make a wave. Mark my word news and hype around the X will die out quickly in a matter of weeks just like it did for the Pro.
@skull,
"Yeah but what you end up with is a gimped console, a sub par network, and two mediocre games that don't even hit 4K. "
What you mean the Xbox one? XD
Reasons simple..third party devs don't want to waste money and time to optimize for the X with its non existent base. Heck if I were running a biz I wouldn't spend extra cycles on a platform that is probably going to be a tiny franction of an already small install base.
Disagrees for his strawman which he put up and proceeded to tear down himself.
That's what most reviewers seem to be saying as well, not worth it if you don't have a 4K TV.
Skull,
"Most Sony exclusives are the same 3rd person action game."
wtf? Are you that deluded?
So final verdict from article:
If you have a 4K TV get it
If not don't bother
Is it going to revolutionize gaming, No.
Basically the gist of article
Jinger don't think you get it - there are no cutaways.. it goes from cutscenes to gameplay all in the same runtime. If you ever play uc4 you would understand what we are saying.. at times you have no idea it switched over to gameplay and your thinking why is he standing still infront a crowd of people for so long..
It's a known bug. All you have to do is respawn at the same spawn point where the public event and you see a lot of people there. The game just reshuffles you to a server with more people.
Any expectation that games will be developed with Xbox x and pro out of the gate should be gone. It's a net new additional development studios are not willing to commit to.
Eh I wouldn't assume no strings were attached with using decima engine on other platforms without sonys consent. Decima is a Sony licensed engine which I'm sure would come with stipulations preventing Kohima from submitting it to a competitor to have access to it.
