Sony needs to ditch the streaming service type and just use downloadable copies. Then take the leftover servers and apply them to the Playstation Network infrastructure. Not sure if they are holding out for a different reason, but they have oodles of older games that arent bringing in revenue right now. That is exactly what these subscription pass services are for, to turn games that are no longer making money into a revenue stream.
After examining the site closely, I dont think it is a shill ran website. There is too much varied content. As well as too many ways to connect with the site. Shill sites tend to have little content, with what is present being fluff and controversy. Shill site writers are generally unknown "freelance" writers.
Game console = games. Someones opinion about what makes a great game is highly subjective.
I agree, this write up is stating the obvious. I log sites that have the traits of a shill ran operation. I havent heard of this site before, so I really dont know what to make of it. The Xbox Scorpio having better hardware than the Playstation Pro is common knowledge by now. Not sure what the motive of this site is. The controversial title and the obscurity is suspect though.
I wouldn't sweat anything this shill website puts out, or any of the posts made by shill posters in these write ups. With the announcement of this service shill websites are going to be rampantly twisting anything they can about the benefits of a service like this. This article is par for their course.
What services like this and EA Access are is a way to make a little money from titles that have slowed down or stopped bringing in revenue. Simply put they are the answer...
I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Producers and developers know that great games make big money as well as create prestige. It is in their best interest to use the amount of resources available to them. Also. building a port it isnt more work with the development kit specifically for the hardware.
I expect it to be how it is now with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as far as resolution goes. People will need a website like Digital Foundry to tell them which one has better image quality. I do expect Xbox to use the added power in other ways though. It wouldn't make sense for them not to. Would it make sense to buy the fastest PC, and the best graphics card on the market then never use it? Of course not. The question is who will be first to show piece what the Scorpio has under the ho...
Im more surprised that someone would think the difference would be significant.
I would like to see write ups like this include the name of the developer in the headline. Just calling them "dev" is too vague, they could be nearly any Joe Blow in the world. Just calling them "dev" basically means they are a nobody, because if they were a somebody then their name would be in the headline.
Maybe N4G needs to change some things.
Dedicated servers would ruin the gameplay because of latency. P2P, data packets go from you to other players and back. Dedicated servers, data packets go from you, to the server, to the players, then back to the server and finally back to you. To my knowledge there isnt a fighting game in existence that uses dedicated servers for gameplay. I agree about the drops, and interupts though its annoying. Unfortunately with P2P if the host leaves or loses connection it causes issues. I dont know if ...
It was a week before I learned that you cant just hold the thumbstick in the direction you want to block after being hit the first time. lol
Actually, this is the exact reason it will have exclusives. The headline is logically backwards. The author is also very short sighted. To believe that a company would invest money into better hardware then not take advantage of their investment is incredibly naive.
If you are not famous, your opinion isnt news.
The maturity level of gaming fanatics on the internet is shameful. I would love to be with any one of them while they are with loved ones then begin to talk on the subject. Im sure any of them over 15yrs old would try to escape the conversation when I started quoting their behavior. Or bring it up around a girl or boy the person is attracted to. They might learn something. I wish that I knew some fanboys irl, because I would love to try this.
On a larger scope this immaturi...
There is nothing quiet like being outnumbered and winning the fight. Its even thrilling watching a teammate on the killcam do it.
I disagree. Gamers are not going to disapear if the console war disapears. It just means that a lot of gamers will stop behaving like children. That is a good thing for gaming as a whole. At the center of the "games are for children" stigma are these adults behaving like children because of this console war nonsense.
I would like to see gaming accepted and meld into the lives of everyone on the planet. That will never happen as long as gamers display this revolti...
You didnt understand the point I made.
The problem with streaming is its prone to inconsistency. Latency varies some much from person to person. It requires broadband, if anything happens with your connection the game is going to drop. Storage is just a more practical and reliable method. There could be other technologies or services that Sony has in mind for streaming. I dont see streaming as the future for gaming though, atleast not until it can outperform hard storage on input output speed. Gaming isnt the same beast as video, ...
