Insomniac wanted to be free of needing to develop for just one console and stated that they were going multiplatform. Therefore, they could have made 'Sunset Overdrive' a multiplat title available on both Xbox One and PS4. But wait...Insomniac wanted money to help develop the new IP and creating new IPs cost a lot these days. Sony only heavily invests in IPs it controls, so Insomniac does a deal with Microsoft. So now the game does not sell well but hey, Insomniac at least owns th...
Sony owns Naughty Dog, Microsoft does not own Square Enix. See the difference?
The entire article is just spin on what was a purely financial decision. It is hard to believe that Microsoft had any more 'passion' for a franchise that has been played on both consoles for a number of games now but in particular always sold more on Playstation,on which Tomb Raider had been always available since PS1. Yes, Sony had a strong competitor in the 'Uncharted' series, but this is hardly relevant as even after the reboot of the series in 2013, again the game sold t...
All Sony said was that it would not have a live presentation at Gamescom but that there would be a large presence on the floor. Sony is also at the Paris and Tokyo shows and there may well be another standalone live presentation like last December which has yet to be confirmed but, given the presence at Paris and Tokyo, not really necessary this year-in my opinion.
It all actually started last gen when 360 owners were proud of any multiplat that performed better on their console due to developers not optimizing properly for PS3s. When Xboners realized this gen that their console was not able to do better than 900p on most of the early releases and only managed 720p on one or two games, the tide turned and Xboners started saying resolutions and fps were NOT important.
Nice try at revising history but no cigar...
Of this gen, I would say Bloodborne and the remastered version of Diablo 3 are really addictive and many a midnight has suddenly turned into 4 a.m. when playing either one of these games. Of other games and formats, XCOM - Terror from the Deep, Civilization 4, the first Unreal, FF7, SOCOM 2, Half-Life 2, COD 1 & 2, C & C Red Alert 2 and Warcraft 3 have been super-addictive and I STILL play many of these.
I tend to play single player campaigns first and foremost and I...
Neither Sony nor Xbox have had many exclusives over the first 18 months and the void has had to be filled by the multiplats. Whether this is due to poor planning or just delays, it appears that both consoles will have exclusives coming one after another from 2016 onwards. Given Sony has supported the PS3 right up to the end and beyond this is understandable as it takes time to ramp up to making new entries in existing franchises and even longer in coming up with new IPs. Most of Sony's ...
PS4 had nearly 23m in May so by now, I would expect it is much closer to the 25m mark. Xbox One is not doing badly now which is good as we need competition between Sony and MS and even Nintendo to ensure that ALL of us as gamers get the best in games and user experience.
It's okay...I accept what you say and I agree that both MS and Sony have had issues that should have been avoided. As regards the spin, I am not paranoid but realistic. You would be surprised how much even multinational corporations micro-manage the spin on even minor news.
I'll go and watch the X-files now (wink!)
er...yup, that is what I said above...all these articles on the site all about Xbox. The spin-masters are going crazy to keep Microsoft in the game it seems.
It should be clear "wtf" I am on about. You must be naive to think that Microsoft would not know that your so called "investor report" would end up being used to spin.
As regards bitching about clickbait articles, I don't like it when thay are done by Sony or PS4 fanboys either but it is Microsoft and the legion of defenders it has who tend to do most of such click bait, trying to make black appear white...
I am a gamer who likes good...
There seems to a lot of Xbox fanboys and the Microsoft PR brigade trying desperately to come up with these silly and bogus articles that purport to give information but instead are merely self-serving PR bullshit that tries to revise history and fact to make it appear that somehow the XBOX is turning the tide. Even after E3 Xbox is doing so badly that Microsoft has to release combined "shipped" figures for the Xbone and 360 consoles to try and make it appear that the console is do...
Shows how little you know about gaming when you say "...nobody remembers Fallout 3". You are one of those Xbone fanboys who likes to peddle lies like 'PS4 has no games to play this holiday season'. Grow up, enjoy the console of your choice and let live.
Sorry but Nathan Drake looks as realistic a face as one can make on consoles at this time. He looks sweaty and you can just see the pores on his skin along with the hair growth and the various laughter and 'worry' lines on face and forehead. His clothing looks as though it was taken off the rack at Rohan!
The cave, ruins and waterfall portions look closer on the two games but remember that Uncharted 4 is a year or so away from release and Tomb Raider is much closer,...
Then don't.
The writer does not acknowledge his own site was one of the ones to sabotage the goodwill Shenmue had and the initial enthusiasm for the Kickstarter campaign.
The writer says "...Shenmue means a lot to me as a series, and it got me through some really tough times. If the campaign was handled a bit better and was more focused, I may have upped my pledge."
I would have thought that if the game really did mean so much to him and had got him through...
How did they know they were the bestselling console? Just cause they say it does not make it so - show the proof and then blow the trumpet. It is going to get so that Microsft will soon start saying it was the best selling console of the Friday of week 2 in July. Absurd!
Well said...
The trick is to focus on just one or two formats and collect those...you could start a PS1 collection by picking up the console and games over time. There are always new sellers coming online as people get older and start clearing out attics, etc. I have a friend who has a passion for old Amiga games and he got a busload from a garage sale by the widow of someone who had passed away.
I also collect Dreamcast games and consoles - the one I use which is still chugging away af...
I bought my Xbone last Christmas with the excellent deals that were going on the MCC Collection and Sunset Overdrive. I liked the user experience and the console is quiet but really big. I haven't played on it since January as I gave up after finishing Sunset and I had so many issues with the MCC collection,and there haven't been any exclusives and since I use my PS4 for all the multiplats and Sony exclusives.
What I found as a predominantly Playstation gamer was ...
