@GamePeace No seriously, What? You are the most illiterate troll I have come across in a long time. You apparently cannot right a single cogent thought down. You seem to write in some form of Trollebonics. Do your sentences actually make sense to you after writing them down? If so, perhaps you should spend little more attention to your 7th grade English teacher. Because, I am looking at your English writing skills and whatever you are learning in middle school is apparently not sticking...
Their disagreeing because that option is nothing new that can't be done other ways as well. Is this something you just discovered about PayPal? What does sending money via PayPal have to do with gifting a game? If I wanted to gift someone money to use on Xbox I could buy a GC digital code from the Microsoft store or Amazon or Newegg or GameStop, etc... and avoid paying that PayPal tax on the transaction. What does your option solve? Still relies on sending money not a game.
@BigTrain Every time I here that argument I find it convenient that the master race ignores that 95% of their membership that will be outclassed by the new XBOX. That is what makes this device an unusual comparison when dealing with the PC. Most consoles by their nature of pricing shoot to have hardware on the low-end side of what we would consider the middle ground of a PC gaming. And due to consoles single purpose have always been able to bat out of their league and play at the high sid...
It works in what three countries? What are they? Because it doesn't work well enough in the USA to have it be included in that list. To be honest it really is not completely a Sony PSNow issue. It is an infrastructure issue. Even in countries where it seems to be supported well it is at best a crap shoot of how well it works. I live in a large metropolitan area with reasonably fast 150Mbps internet yet PSNow works like crap. Yet, everything else I have ever streamed is like butter. Con...
@moegooner88 EatCrow is not exactly wrong. True, you may never see 0-day release on PSNow for games. But, in order for PSNow to be successful they will have to shorten the release time between games released for sale and arrival on PSNow; they will have to have games arrive much closer to their release dates. Not three years down the line but maybe 6 months or a year after release. Otherwise, what is the purpose of PSNow. It provides no real benefit if you have a PS4 and the quality of gra...
@dirkdady I much rather play the games at the actual quality they were meant to be played. It is one thing to play a PS3 game using PSNow on you PS4 because with no BC they have no other way to get the game running locally. It is another having to play a streamed PS4 game 720p (it is still 720p right?) when you could have the full 1080 experience of a game; no need to have game depend on a solid internet connection to play. I rather wait a few hours to download (something like Uncharted ...
@Death They abandoned them because they were going to bring PS4 games to streaming. Doing so meant it would have cut out sales of games and possibly future PS4 console sales; that is if everyone starting playing the streaming version on these low-end device. There is no reason to otherwise have removed those devices ,no matter what the PR from the Sony says. Especially PS3 or PSVita devices; it is all about the worry of PS4 games on those devices not processing requirements. Streaming tak...
@dirkdady I would have said you were right if they hadn't killed off anything that made sense for a streaming service. No more low-end devices means this is a PS4 or PC only option. At the very least, they need to allow download (like Xbox Gamers Pass) for the PS4 games on the PS4. No reason to have an always on option for those games.
Oh, Cerny says so. Yes, believe what Cerny, the PS4 architect, says he has no agenda. /s He's done the math. By, the way Cerny was referring to getting a PS4 game running on the Pro. Not getting the game to run in any form of 4K.
Question: Where were all these same announcements by developers (any developer) when the Pro was released about how easy it was to move a game to 4K on that device? I don't remember any and if there were, they were few and far between. Th...
Damage control from who? This guy doesn't work for Microsoft any longer, not for a while. In fact he worked at MS briefly but spent most of his time working for Sony SCE (i.e. PS3). Go look at E3 2005 he was on stage showing the PS3 development hardware with that duck demo. Is he in damage control for Sony too or possibly Infogames or Atari who he also has worked for? This was Harrison's personal opinion and has nothing to do with Microsoft. People read into this story that way (a...
@Goldby You mean like Bungie wanted to do? All that kicking an screaming they did about Microsoft stifling their creativity yet after leaving instead of something new all they came up with was Destiny or Halo 2.0. If 343i or The Coalition have something new great but, I would love to see Halo 6 sooner rather than later. Perhaps if they expanded each companies development groups and staggered each GOW and Halo every three years. Meanwhile, each company were to do something else between that ...
@morganfell5 >> 'The reason there was some question concerning Sony's remarks and their "Coming to PS4 Pro and PS4 first" is the trilogy will eventually appear on PS Now which covers a wide variety of devices."
Bad reason! And not true. PSNow does not include a wide variety of devices. PSNow only supports PS4 and PC . Everything else that was once supported is going bye-bye on August 15th.
They have become The Verge Jr. Engadget used to be one of my daily stops now that they are another SJW for the tech sphere and I barely find the will to go there (often it is just by accident, like clicking on this stories link).
@SurgicalMenace You need to work on your math skills. You don't take 20% from the day the PS4 was released or the total PS4 count to get total Pros sold to date. It is 20% of sales since the Pro was released 8 months ago. Quite a big difference. To be generous it is more likely close to 2 million Pros sold to date, not 12 million. And who told you the PS4 Pro was released for VR? It may be a reason perpetuated by others but, not one announced at any time by Sony. Andrew House (the ...
OK, I don't know what people expecting but, Atari SA the parent company of Atari Inc. has a total net worth of $60 million. That is SIE or Microsoft's Xbox divisions pizza money for this month. (/jk) Atari as a company doesn't have the financial resources to compete with the 3 big boys or even anything remotely close. They definitely don't have the money necessary to get deals necessary for chips, memory, and other internals like Sony and Microsoft do by guaranteeing to bu...
Both River Raid & Pitfall are Activision games. And Custer's Revenge is a Mystique produced game. A reboot/reimagination of most these games have been done dozens of times since the Atari 2600. Really isn't Tomb Raider or Uncharted 4 just modern take on Pitfall, a jumping and climbing to get treasure game? And isn't World of Tanks just a modern take on Combat?
Once again learn to read 2% is usage time overall not user base. It could be 100,000 people playing 40 hours a week, it could be 2,000,000 playing 6 hours a week, 10,000 playing a hundred hours. That 2% is relative to the actual total number of time and varies by user count and total time monthly. Actually according to Microsoft, not some scrapped data from a third party, it is more than double that 2% closer to 5%. Big difference is it isn't people. However, we do know that (because...
So Sony is talking of their ass as well then? Yoshida, like Greenberg, also explicitly said they were holding back on their game announcements as well. Is that a PR stunt or is only when Microsoft says it is a stunt? All exclusives Sony showed were the same games from last year. Excuse me, I am wrong, Sony actually didn't even show several exclusive games, like Death Strranding, even though they showed them the previous year. Perhaps each company realized it is best to present games cl...
I remember how all the PS4 fanboys were all over the Ori developer for calling the PS4 Pro a half-assed compared to the Scorpio and you all rained hell down on him for being immature or being improper or not professional. Where is that same outrage you had previously? As for me, I am at least being consistent. I am taken the same stance on this tweet as I did with the Mahler (Ori) comment with "meh, don't care one way or the other, it's a f'ing stupid comment from a deve...
