Death Stranding? What depth? It was a weird video. Later followed by some Kojima talking points. He could have put a picture of a puddle of mud changing colors and it would have had more depth. And still people would have gone "goo-goo" over that puddle of mud because it was Kojima.
To bad. It is the one PS4 exclusive game I came away from the show say wow that looks cool & fun. I do get it there were a several similar games with that same large episodic survival feel to them (Days Gone, Horizon, GOW) and several Zombie and post apocalyptic games as well. Days Gone game actually replaced my interest in Horizon. Don't get me wrong Horizon still looks awesome but, for some reason the demo just didn't interest me (maybe disinterested me is a better statement....
@ShadowKnight Adding more standard GDDR5 memory to a device at the last minute because the prices became more acceptable is a far cry the having to redo customized silicon. God imagine if my PS4 had only 4GB inside. The horror!
Let's for now just ignore the fact that to have a Neo under the rumored specs available for this holiday the APU has already been tapped out and in mass production. All suppliers have started getting inventory ready for the device. Let's ...
Actually, I think it is the other way around. Microsoft knows exactly what the Neo has inside the box. Whether they have the actual spec sheets or slipped a doc worker a twenty to get a peak inside a console, they know. Having this knowledge they could confidently show some of their cards at E3. They obviously didn't show their whole hand but enough to people talking about it. And when the Neo is announced in a few months it won't be about how much better it is. No, many stor...
First, I think the game looks fun and I am glad Spiderman is getting some love from a great developer like Insomniac. It is definitely on my short lists of games I want on my PS4. That said I still have a lot anger about all this. That anger is not focused at Sony in any way.
My anger is mainly focused on two areas. The first is a personal one. I am angry at all the hypocrite PS4 fanboys when I stated it was just business between Microsoft and Crystal Dynamics for the t...
No. I think Sony now has the certain rights for Spider-man in other media. The original Marvel agreement did not give them exclusive rights to all media. But, now this might have been part of the new agreement when they gave up the exclusive movie rights (via their Sony Pictures/Columbia subsidiary) essentially returning the character to Marvel fold. Now they have a partnership with Marvel in a shared structure in the coming movies. Perhaps, Marvel conceded certain things like exclusive us...
I certainly hope it is the best Spider-man ever. I can't think of a previous Spider-man game that was any good at all. At least, with Insomniac at the helm this one looks like it has a fighting chance.
Yes, the Slim plays 4K Ultra HD discs. It is a steal if that is one of your planned main uses for the console. Single player 4K UHD devices by themselves are quite expensive. I was looking into buying one recently. Players will list anywhere from $170 to north of $600.
False, E3 has only recently become more about games 2-3 years from now. E3 is a media event not a fanboy event. It is a media event for games like CES is for electronics. It is the fanboys that have corrupted it to show me games I can't buy for another 2+ years and Sony is glad to oblige. E3 main purpose is designed to showcase games coming in the ensuing year to publications and distributors to help increase awareness for sales. Sure there have always been a game or two that have ...
No winners and no losers. Seriously, I guarantee half the games we think are going to be great are going to suck and half the games we thought sucked are going to a total blast to play. It is, what it is.
I will tell you this the biggest winner at the Sony presentation was COD: Infinite Warrior. I was watching the Sony presentation with 11 friends. A plurality only own a PS4, a few like me own both, 3 own an Xbox One. But, when that trailer came on for the new COD. Ev...
Agreed. One amendment. Actually the largest individual shareholder (by far) of Microsoft is Steve Ballmer. Gates now has around 1/2 of what Ballmer has in stock and Paul Allen doesn't rate in the top 20 of major shareholders. So all that money actually flows mostly into Ballmer's account. Vanguard investments is the overall leader in stock.
I get the ribbing part. Par for the course and he deserves it. Calling him out is cool, no problem there. It is just all the nutjob PS4 fanboys that take it to heart and make like some evil comment against this mysterious PS4 god and now condemn him and all of Xbox to death. Nelson is over the top cheerleader sometimes. But, believe me if you watched the pre-show for Sony you would know what a worst bunch cartoonish cheerleaders looks like. Man what was that.
Both the Neo and Scorpio will initially just run the same games as the current PS4 and Xbox One consoles. Isn't that the point? Doing otherwise and being treated differently with more games will piss and feed that hysteria of those that are already complaining within both camps that they will be left behind. Not that there wont' games targeted for each system at some future date just not initially.
Coming back at you with your own question. What are those 4.2TFLOP...
@Sciurus_vulgaris "why in the hell wasn't this shown on stage !" One possibility is if you watched their announcements you will notice that everything had a release date. As far as I can tell everything they showed will be available before April of 2017 (definitely before the next E3). That has always been a pet peeve of mine when they announce things that wont' be out for over a year or in many cases (both Soney and Microsoft have done this in the past) several years. ...
@MrSec84 "Sony just wait and bring out a better machine" I always find it strange when I see people that think a company can make magical adjustments to their plans. These aren't small builds. No we are talking millions of devices being built. That is not something that happens overnight but over months. It also takes months prior to that for suppliers to produce enough component stock to supply a full blown console production line. Sure, if you were a mom and pop use off ...
First it should be about games. Microsoft made a concerted effort to only show games that will be playable in the ensuing months and nothing beyond Spring of 2017. How is that a bad thing? I am tired of these shows when you say some one wins because they show an awesome game that won't be out for another two to three years. That is utter worthless to me. Sony does this often. And yes Microsoft has done this as well just not this time. If the g...
Although I have a pretty powerful gaming rig but I prefer to play games on consoles for various reasons:
1. It is a more relaxed environment. I don't like coming home and sitting at a desk (like work) and playing games on my rig. I stare at two monitors 10 hours a day looking at code. I don't want to sit a desk chair at home staring at a 30" monitor to play a game. Laid back on a couch and a 60" inch screen is much more enjoyable (even if I am not currentl...
This is one of those times that I am sure glad I make a good living. Nice to buy new toys when you can.
For me,I am giving my original Xbox One to friends son and getting the Slim. That kills two birds with one stone. Gets me in good with girlfriends family and gives me an excuse to get the Slim. I am crossing my fingers that there is a black option, as I have never really been a fan of white devices. White jumps out of you when IMO consoles should blend in. Plus, ov...
How is that going to help them if they are releasing Neo this year or early next? Knowing your competitor has a 6TFlop beast in the waiting wings for 2017 and being able to match it this late in the game with Neo (rumored specs) is not going to happen. I am sure if Sony wants to delay Neo or is able to surprise us all and the specs beyond the rumored 4Tflops and the same Jaguar yeah maybe possible. But, I doubt it knowing what we know from multiple sources. Which for rumors have been prett...
