I'd have to agree, Sony doesn't buy Publishers, they buy studios to add to their own portfolio as a publisher. MS is using the fact that they are one of the world's wealthiest companies to monopolize the market... so yes, of course the various trade regulators out there are crying foul. then MS is taking it a step further by using even more of that money to try to buy their way through the legal system with lobbying, ads, etc. trying to influence the regulators' decision. Not ...
Sony doesn't have to accept anything if they convince regulators to block the merger. Obviously MS is terrified that it is working, because they are spending millions on ads and lobbying in the UK to try to convince the regulators to allow the deal to go through.
I honestly doubt they are going to be able to keep milking the COD franchise beyond 10 more years anyway... You can only make the same war game so many times before people get bored with it. Plenty of other fa...
There's smoke coming off of Microsoft's checkbook from all the furious writing going on... obviously. They're dumping millions into lobbying as well, since various governments want to shut their monopoly strategy down.
Or with PS3 graphics at 720p60.
it's still weaker than that.
Pure zealotry,.
"the first new universe in 25 years from Bethesda Game Studios" shows just how stagnant the creativity at Bethesda has become. Can you name another major publisher that hasn't made a new universe/franchise in 25 years?
They supported the original PSVR until the end of its life, PSVR2 already has a better software lineup than PSVR1 and it just came out 2 weeks ago, there isn't even one month of sales numbers to report yet, so your comment is quite ridiculous, and your bias quite obvious.
I really think MS is going to drop the feature parity thing from S towards the end of this generation, screwing all those who bought it. But they should have known better... just sucks for those who don't know enough about tech to know better. The sad thing is, until they do, multiplatform games on all current gen systems are going to suffer because of their shortsightedness.
My laptop's 2060 does ok on ray tracing.. You have to drop resolution to do it, but it works and is playable. I personally like a higher quality image vs. a sharper one, so I usually make that tradeoff.
You're misunderstanding what is going on here, they aren't trying to ban it worldwide, they just want it blocked in their own country, which they have every right to do.
Pavlov is looking amazing as well.
It's SO obvious which people in this conversation have any idea how game development works... lol.
No, you cannot do cloud assisted ray tracing. 60fps updates every 16ms. So, within 16 ms, your must tell the server you need a frame, and what that frame needs to be, Then the important part... the server has to have the time needed to render that frame, and then it has to be able to send that frame back to you. A perfectly average ping in the year 2023 is 20-50ms... and e...
"PS5´s userbase is 30 million vs Xbox Series consoles with a 18.5 million usersbase, not much of a staggering difference to warrant a decision to not port for Xbox consoles"
This fails to factor in the extra money needed to invest into optimization of the game so it will run on Series S, or having to remove features from all versions in order to make the full game playable on S.
"Maybe how they money hat games to keep them off other platforms"
"Hi, pot, I'm kettle!"
RT, not really, as we expect 60fps,and low input lag, and good luck getting pings good enough to refresh that.
Yes, I meant to say series S... and I know, that's why I said MS won't allow that, which is also why it is holding our generation back, as has been proven by the multiple games that have skipped Xbox or delayed Xbox releases due to not being able to get certain features working on the last gen console in a current gen costume.
I just hope there's no future plans for a Xbox One S version. X only, sure, but MS won't allow that.
Since when is not milking a franchise until it's diluted down to garbage like Call of Duty a bad thing? They have a golden franchise full of amazing games, no need to keep trying to squeeze more money out of it at expense of the quality of the game.
