Another nail in the coffin of the Olympics. Just add this so called sport to the growing list of things that have been added to the Olympics that don't belong. Listen I think eGamers (that is what they are they are gamers not athletes) are talented at what they do. But, lets face it is a skill. It is not a sport. A sport is more than a skill it requires a test of the individuals body against the adversity that skill causes, actual reaching physical exertion in competition. Gamers mee...
We could use that logic with Just Cause 3 too. The game is going to 2 years old soon and if you hadn't played it by now you were never going to logic is just as practical in that case. Not that I agree with your logic as I am one of those that never played Bayonetta or JC3 previously and find value in both the free older games. But, if you are going to judge the list on who has or hasn't played a game then Gold wins because Slime Ranchers is fresh off the assembly line.
You clicked on the story so you must of had some interest on the matter or is your day so empty you click on every story? And even with your supposed that lack of caring you took time out of your busy schedule to grace us with yelling about it (those caps don't type themselves). How nice of you. Now go yell at those kids to get off your lawn.
So what you saying that since over 90% of all games that are sold on both PS4 or Xbox are multi-platform they don't count as games. According to you if we want the best experience from a console on those very games that most people buy we aren't focused on gaming? I mean that can be the only reasoning one can discern from your statement. Not that there aren't exclusives that on the Xbox that your precious PS4 can't play too. Or perhaps you are one of those luck PC owners (y...
The CPU needs are a lot less for a console and that has been shown so many times over the years. Same games on PC vs consoles and the same gaming fidelity require a great deal more CPU processing to run on a PC. PC's just have so much weight to deal with one-fits-all version of Windows you have to run on PCs. Whereas the XBOX version of Windows has been streamlined from the ground up for gaming.
Furthermore, most of the rendering process has been removed from the XBOX C...
Funny everyone of those games that you named Warcraft/DOTA/GO/ etc... could be played on a PC from 2005 and in most cases those games look like they were built for the PS3/XB360 era not the NVidia 1080 PC rigs. So, why do PC gamers supposedly keep building these rigs that don't need those high end specs if the most popular games (as you yourself admitted) are themselves designed with middle of the road graphic assets. I will tell you why because most PCs are no more capable than that - ...
Not to get on your case but you understand their profits went down not up. Revenue the money they took in went up (great, always like more money coming in) but, income (that is their profit after expenses) went down this quarter. You don't even have to read the article, it says it in the title.
The overall company financials the heavy revenue increase was not really do to the Game & Network Services, like the past but, really from the only other constantly successf...
@Kingthrash360 What myth is that? The myth that all Pc's actually play 4K. PC users seem to ignore their own data from their overlord Steam. 95% of PC's couldn't get Killing Floor 2 run at 1800 full fidelity as is running now on PS4 Pro version that has been ported over to the XBOX. Only 5% PC rigs have the capability to do anything better than a XBOX. So yeah, there is small percentage that have 4K PC. Those PC rigs where the graphics card cost more than the XBOX itself...
@naruga What? Thank god actual adults run these companies not N4G fanboys. Microsoft would bundle a Sony TV if worked out a deal allowing them to price that bundle at better price than other TV manufacturers could provide. Let's be honest. Sony needs a break with their TV division that has had negative income revenue 5 out of the last 6 years. But, I guess using your logic Sony forgot Microsoft was a competitor all those years when they put Windows on their laptops or Google is a co...
I think you meant a very small percentage of PCs. "PC" as in the whole PC gaming community is the broad answer PC gamers like to say as if every PC is the exact same machine. You pretend it is this exclusive group that is bonded together. Yet, 95% of PC gamer rigs apparently aren't 4K capable at all. You always leave that little tidbit off when you talk in grand speak. I hate to see what you elitist PC gamers call all your mass majority of gimpy brethren that can't even...
Who is we? We is not Microsoft. Where has Microsoft compromised in this? I know Sony fan boys are not used to options (they liked being told what is good for them e.g. no EA Access, pay for BC, etc...) but, Microsoft has left the option of power to the developer. Some can exploit it correctly others are apparently just using it differently. Perhaps if this were a direct PC port and not a port of PS4 Pro version of the game it would result in a different outcome. Apparently all those develop...
@DogDreyerSmit No because Sony itself can't get all it's own first party games (since the Pros release) to run at true 4K on the Pro. Both, Microsoft and Sony can only control the actual game play from their own first party games. And they have said as much when discussing options for third party developers. If asked I am sure Microsoft could find a development team that would be up to the task of getting Killing Floor 2 to 4K on the XBOX. It just isn't the third-party team doing...
Well, it kind is full of hypocrisy. At one time they were the young bucks and the old TV shows didn't fit their needs so these very same government channels adjusted then as well. It kind of reminds me when ever I see a older actress/actor complain about how everything is designed for young actors and actresses. They seem to forget they are famous because at one time they were the young hot ones taking those very same jobs from the older actors and now on the receiving end. Awe the cyc...
Don't care. Just another reason to not watch regular TV. It is the same reason reality shows everywhere moved me away from the tele. Not that I watch sports very much on TV to begin with. I tend to watch championship games only and forgo the complete seasons in most sports (except when for my alma mater is on TV.)
What really gets me is not that it is eSports is on TV. It is a business and it sells. I am fine with that. This why the lord above invented cable TV and the...
@Kingthrash360 Xbox One has very few games at 720p. Don’t act like it is the norm. 900p yes that happens more often but 720p not really. And even if a game is at 720p on Xbox One it runs well as it was designed to that experience just as 900p games (just as rare) do on the PS4. Furthermore, there is quite a difference from getting small packets of info down from MP serves during gameplay then streaming a whole game. It is foolish to compare the lag that MP has compared to streaming. You re...
" big reason for creating that service was to allow people that didn't own a Sony console "
Well that big reason will gone August 15th. No other devices (save Windows PC & PS4) will be supported. And I really don't see the viability of PSNow on Windows, so lets just be honest it will really just be a PS4 service. And adding PSNow to Plus is no different than adding the free monthly games. You don't have to play either. If Sony does make this mo...
1. PC gaming online is littered with cheats & hacks. And to top that off - it has a greater percentage per capita of online jackasses.
2. Don't be silly - couches are no place for playing with mice and keyboards.
3. HDMI? now you spent $1200+ *** on a machine that sits by your TV. And people think $499 is expensive for just game play device. Wait, you want to use your computer for other things. Oh goodie, lets unplug all...
Sure for a few months we have good game or two (shockingly out of the ordinary Plus pattern mind you). Maybe Sony did it so they could get people like you to make comments like that. Let's face it up until these last couple of months Plus games had sucked on a regular basis. OK, suck may be too strong. How about very weak on a regular basis. But, No! Give the masses a few months of reasonable games and all the previous months seem to be forgiven or forgotten.
@mixelon "iPad Pros compare favorably with x64 based laptops" What are you smoking? It must be really good. That is delusional Apple fanboy talk. Please... I can take any laptop that costs a half (even a third or more) of the iPad Pro (a laptop with a base i5 vs A9) and it could run circles around the iPad. Well, it actually be hard to compare because those iPads have just little apps pretending to be actual productive programs.
@DogJosha You are living in fantasyland if you think that one trick pony, Google-the-Ad-Company, has better software engineers than Microsoft. Please name something from Google that is top-notch. And your answer better not be Android. That OS designed for 35mm digital cameras is still a mess. Where is their cutting edge work that actually is working in the real world? By the way, you do realize Microsoft is "private" industry too? They aren't the government. As for engineers...
