Gamers are impatient suckers. Publishers know how to exploit this weakness through hype and will continue to do so because it will always work unfortunately.
Actually, Sony and MS are benefitting more from the 3rd party sales than their exclusive games. They would actually be in the red, if it weren't for 3rd party games paying their licensing fees.
I'm a Sony fan, and I don't think this is Ok. However, fanboys are the only people that make big deals out of these trivial things, and these companies keep feeding them such crap, because they soak it up.
It's the strategy of these companies. Cater to their fanboy, and they will do the internet marketing for you. Whether it's positive publicity or negative publicity.
Again Canada gets shafted
True it is bad. How come this stuff is only mentioned in Destiny articles tho? Where were you in Watch Dogs, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, The Division, Evolve, Tomb Raider?
I see MS the more likely candidate to buy Crytek. Well if Crytek goes under, MS will buyout RYSE atleast. Maybe Homefront as well.
It would make more sense for Sony to buyout Capcom than to spend their money on Crytek.

Xbox fans hated on the Ratchet and Clank series all last gen. Of course that changed when Insomniac decided to make Sunset Overdrive exclusive to Xbox One, which has many of the same mechanics as the Ratchet series, and the same art style.
So What's Your Point?
Fanboyism, exclusive game preferences, eco system, friends are just a few reasons why one prefers a console over another.
I just hope PS4 multiplats outsell the X1 counterparts, to show these console manufacturers that the power of the Machine is more important than all this entertainment crap both keep touting.
Double Post
That is the thing I don't understand.
The developers have a vision of their game and they have been open about what their game is about. It's linear, qte, cutscene story driven game.
Yet all the hate I see is like people have already played the game and feel like the developer lied to them or something about what the game is about.
Yah I get it, you don't like QTE, cutscenes to tell a story, linear gameplay, and hide and shoot me...
I just don't get as hyped for games anymore. Whether it's because I've gotten older or I have too many games to play. I don't know what it is but since I picked up a PS4 and an X1, I am not getting hyped for any games anymore, but I still want to play them. It's weird.
However I am picking this game up, because I am interested in the setting and story. These days I prefer more linear cinematic games over open world ones. It's odd, because the last...
Who are these journalists that ask such dumb questions? Let's go ask a Dev from a rival organization their opinion on an SDK that is still a year away from being available for use with MS 1st party devs.
Gaming journalists are a joke. Worse than tabloids.
You know, out of all the arguments regarding whether Sony did a last minute policy change on their DRM, no one ever mentions if they were even capable of doing such a thing.
For instance, the rate at which Sony is able to add new features to their OS, pales in comparison to MS.
During last Gen MS revamped their OS 5 times in 8 years. The PS3 OS remained the same. They couldn't even implement cross game chat and we still can't change our PSN ID's...
I am flummoxed that people are this bothered by exclusive dlc/content?
I cannot comprehend the minds of these people. Someone please help me understand the thought process that these individuals undergo to write such pathetic blogs.
Lol. How old is the dude who wrote this article?
Should have mentioned JRPG's and Japanese related games in my comment.
Also wanted to mention being more open about what is next on their firmware update. Don't have to mention a date or timeline. Just what features are coming next.
Should have mentioned JRPG's and other Kapanese related games in my comment.
Hopefully this will make Sony stop sitting on word of mouth and actually start competing again with games.
But I Doubt It
Well from what I heard average team of engine programmers is around 6 people. which usually is the second smallest team on the project. So she wasn't the only one.
I HATE PRE-ORDER BONUSES, RETAIL EXCLUSIVE CONTENT AND CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!!!!!
Screw the company that started all this crap.
