What truth is that? Rose colored glasses truth? Since the X sold more in one month than 14 months of the Pro one can only assume (when comparing the two devices) that there will be more owners of the X buying this over the Pro. Now if you want to make it about the whole Xbox One vs PS4 family, then yes I will agree that more than likely the PS4 family will buy more copies of this game. Although, I might have to adjust that that thinking depending on what is available. Case in point: This ga...
Scalebound was canceled because the game mechanics continued to look like crap with no advances made in over a year after their E3 demo. Probably the lack of the game quality was because allegedly Platinum was taking the money Microsoft was spending on Scalebound and using portions of it and other Scalebound resources (like developers) to support developing other games not associated with the Microsoft game.
@The_Jackel Who is the moron you speak of? Are you referring to the one that actually is the quite successful industry professional and well paid for being this moron. Then sign me up for the moron school Phil went to. And how is it Phil's fault that people write articles about what he says. He is actually a very personable guy willing to give his two cents and honest opinions (often praising the competition for games like GOW). Maybe with his hands no longer tied to the Windows divisi...
Well, people actually know who Phil is. He is very sociable and always willing to spend time talking to fans. I suspect any Kodera tweets could just as newsworthy but, he seems to keep an arms distance on media for them moment. Has Kodera actually made any tweets or interviews or news statements since he became CEO?
Crytek always has stunning visuals. No one faults them on the looks of their games. But their games usually have issues everywhere else or require $3000 PC to run smoootly.
Both of you are partially right and partially wrong. Sony has a limited scope of character usage. So games like Spiderman are not allowed under their agreement. And prior to this last Spider-Man all but one of Sony's movies were technically not big money makers (actually lost money after expenses). Disney wanted to bring Spider-Man back to the Avengers MCU and Sony wanted to have the Marvel brain trust help develop the next Spider-Man....
First, this logic that pirates will not pay for something is wrong. Pirates seek the path of least resistance. Which in this case if free. The logic that pirates won't pay for it is flat out wrong. A large percentage of pirating is done by those that are unwilling pay not by those that can't pay. That is the difference. Yes, a long time ago I use to pirate games (yes I was a bad boy 20 years ago, I admit it...
Well if this were actually implemented and it applied to physical media as well as to digital it would have to work similarly to how Microsoft's plan for physical media was originally set up for the Xbox One. I can see no other way than a similar online element for physical media protection using blockchain and with sharing a disc and/or more importantly resale of the physical media. Now if this only applies to digital media then there should be no issues for those who own physical media...
And the Xbox Live network was a great deal better experience. When there is a greater incentive (like income coming in for that paid service) a company will continue to make it better so people will continue to pay for it. Look how much Sony's own network (a paid network service) has become compared to how it was prior. You get what you paid for. There is no incentive to pour billions into a network infrastructure and not get a return on it. Companies will not survive and will get beat ...
What exactly is the opposite of 4 million? I am really trying to understand your logic of opposite. Light has dark, rich has poor, good has evil, smart has dumb, tall has short, fast has slow and 4 million has what opposite exactly? The opposite of a positive number is a negative number.
I myself think 5 million is good round number to expect.
@frostypants I guess all those professional sites that have done deep dive comparisons have it wrong then. Sound & Vision compares it quite favorably to many standalone costs $400+. Surpassing some even. They even stated other than the slower startup cycle it held its own against Oppo. Yes, there was an issue when the X was first released but that was fixed with an update quite quickly.
Well, all you youngster love subpar quality. There is no other explanation. Streaming video at any level is a great deal worse than compared to the original material. 4K streaming is worse than plain old Blu-Ray (littered with artifacts, bland color, jiggies) You can't go from a 120GB file to a 20GB streamed and not lose a lot of important details. But, yeah let us pretend streaming is actually is of comparative quality. Maybe all you youngsters are blind from staring all day at your t...
@StormSnooper2h If your internet was down and you couldn't download a game then GP the it would be a rival to that pile of crap PSNow. PSNow (with only 720p, 30fps max, lost fidelity, network issues) has a long way to go to be a competitor to anything.
I love coming here and reading things like Microsoft all about services but, those PS4 fanboys completely ignore the moves by Sony to gather more and more service dollars from their customers.
First, they put the king of all Sony services, Kodera, in charge of SIE. Come on the guy created the Sonys' cloud powered crap service PSNow. How can get any more of what GAAS is then PSNow. Microsoft definitely can't claim that type of service. Kodera was also a leader...
You sure got a great return on your investment with Battlefield. (assuming you spent $60/game) That means it cost you around $1.57/hour to play Yakuza 0 and slightly more than .05 cents per hour playing Battlefield. Cudos to you. I can never get that much into a game. Wish I could. The best I probably have done is spend about 200 hours playing Halo 5 this generation. I usually put about 50-60 hours in a good MP before I move on (sometimes I will come back). ...
@gamerzero About $100. Funny! That is a low-end APU as I believe you are referring to the 2200g. That doesn't even do Xbox One 1.34 TFLOPS. The recently released AMD 2400g APU is around $160 and that does only 1.74 TFLOPS. Both us fairly basic low-mid level Ryzen CPUs. So no real power on there as well. Now tell me how those are cutting edge or even close to reaching their goals. In fact, AMD has had to delay their planned more advance APU model using Vega that would have had simi...
2020 would be 3 years for the X and 4 years for the Pro. There is one point people are missing and it is about money. Money is what drives investors and the positive flux of money drives company value and strong investment. Right now we are in the downswing phase of this console generation. After four years (according to even Sony's quarterly reports and the last two console generations historical data) it is the start of when sales slow. Sony knows this and wants two things. First, ...
Somebody should go through all Patcher's predictions that he has made on consoles the past few years and find out his actual on target percentage. Of all the times I have heard him make these statements they have generally not been even remotely close. And yet he gets the big bucks. It would not be 2 years, it would actually be 3 years for the X and four for the Pro. But, you are definitely right, If I were placing a bet his predictions they would represent the opposite of how to o...
Somehow options are a bad thing? Nothing in Microsoft's arsenal of services negates the need for a console. Of course, let us just ignore that fact that the only company that actually has a GAAS platform that can and has been device agnostic is Sony with PSNow. The only console company that has a CEO that actually has specialized in GAAS is the CEO of SIE (Kodera is the creator of PSNOW, led PSMusic & PSVideo). PSNow is pure GAAS. It is the only service available on to consols b...
@Eonjay. No Google intentionally left if up to OEMs. Google is at fault for Android violations. They knew they were violating various patents (not just Microsoft's) before they released the OS into the wild. There is a big difference between what Microsoft is being accused of and what Google and the Android OEMs have done. Android phone OEMs folded easily because there are some very obvious patent violations and few not so obvious. Here we just have a company saying it does own a ...
