Well they ain't exactly alone there...main difference being PS4 has also had a great lineup of games during the first part of the year as well.

I mean it's kinda basic math now that Sony releases exclusives & console exclusives w/ more frequency than any other box on the market, and the huge handful of big announcements at E3 only cements the coming year and beyond, games like Detroit, GoW & Spider-Man will join the list w/ Dreams, Wild, Shenmue, etc.... <...

Yeah I absolutely think that not all games will run at 4k/60 fps even on Scorpio hardware. But if you read on you'll see that I said 'not all' AAA games will shoot for 4k. Never said that there are games that are incapable of it, just that devs will make the choice that Spencer plainly said he gave them, that 4k is not a mandate & devs can use that power however they'd like. Obviously there will be plenty of stuff at 4k, but if you are going to &q...

Ok, all of those suggestions are definitely better than Slott, I will fully agree with you there. I guess my mind just goes to Slott because he's already done these games & he may end up the most likely candidate. The proliferation of the Inner Demons in the trailer kinda makes that seem like a possibility.

I still think that if it's not an actual writer who has handled the character before, the game will suffer if the writers aren't proper fans. I look at t...

That's what I'm thinking too...indies & mid tier stuff & racing/sports titles can hit that 4k, but most other AAA console fare should & most likely will target higher fps & graphical effects over hitting a native 4k. Even as powerful as Scorpio is said to be, it still won't be able to push 4k at a decent fps w/ the large amount of graphical effects expected of a top tier AAA console like title.

I think Spencer has already said it'll be up to ...

"THIS IS THE WE HERD YOU CONSOLE"

hahahah oh man, that may be the most unintentionally funny slip I've seen here in a while....'This is the we 'herd' you (to the PC) console'

Sorry couldn't resist. Scorpio looks cool & I think the Play Anywhere is a great idea, but I'm waiting to see it all in action before I pass much judgment. This stuff isn't gonna be as simple as waving a magic wand & there are a lot o...

I think it's been clearly said that this game isn't gonna be some lengthy prospect. It would most likely fall more on the tech demo side, but apparently its a very competent one. Also, it is coming in the "launch window" so I'm pretty sure they confirmed it won't be day 1, but sometime before the end of 2016 or slightly after the beginning of 2017.

Experiences like this one shouldn't be enough in & of themselves to sell a $400 unit to gamer...

Isn't the original Halo Wars a pre order incentive for Halo Wars 2? Seems weird that they'd give it out for free to everyone as well...kinda negates the entire idea of the preorder incentive, especially when it is being given out only a month after the preorder announcement. If it is true they will be kinda shooting themselves in the foot if they want pre orders

DR3 & FF would both be good moves though if they pan out. Great little lineup of games there for sure...

Obviously third parties make up a huge portion of games on any box, but when those games are available elsewhere, exclusives pick up the slack of differentiating & giving a box its own unique identity. They are absolutely vital imo. Exclusives always make up at least half of my gaming library on any console I ever own. They just typically end up being better quality games than third parties solely because they are pointed towards a specific community & specific hardware.

@zelda

I'd argue that parts of RE5 & nearly all of RE6 wasn't Resident Evil either, so maybe they are trying to distance themselves from that approach in order to circle back around.

From what I understand, the RE7 demo was meant to be a standalone experience not indicative of the final game. That slice won't be present in the final game to my understanding. I mean I personally agree to an extent & I've never been a big first perso...

You really dislike Slott that much? I mean he's far from the best Spidey writers but I personally think he's added some interesting characters, has been unfraid to shake up the status quo & has reimagined some classic Spidey stories & tropes. He's got his low points just like anyone else but 'worst writer to ever touch the book'? How long have you been reading? There were some pretty poor ones in the 90s, then that entire Clone Saga thing. Maybe because I came of a...

Sounds like you haven't read a single preview from any outsider or any publication whatsoever then...the majority of them have sung PSVRs praises to some extent....lot of people considering Batman Arkham VR to be one of the best demos at E3 hands down, even the skeptics. Even if they are "awesome experiences", how does that discount them in any way?

If my life was full of "awesome experiences" I'd be pretty happy. Some gamers are just too tied to...

I agree that most won't want to jump into first gen tech & I may be one of those that don't right with you but I honestly don't think that VR is going anywhere. This isn't like any other gaming peripheral to ever hit the market because it reaches outside of gaming.

Michael Bay has already committed to a VR film project, and there have already been VR film festivals, Zemeckis used VR for The Walk, & you can bet your ass that James Cameron will hop on ...

I mean I can understand all of your criticisms other than the space one...what about VR necessitates a space any larger than the one you exist in? VR isn't about walking around in real time, and a lot of it is fully functional with a controller or a motion control kit....fairly sure that VR doesn't require any more space than a standard console or PC would...

Resident Evil, Batman, Star Wars....all the definition of "indie" for sure.

I do see that the content is fairly rudimentary compared to its mainline gaming cousin, but with the advent of 360 degree cameras & the accelerated evolution of hardware, it's not that far off from some amazing experiences.

The "cut off from the outside world" & the "I feel like I'd look weird" are the lamest excuses I've ever heard.

I take it you also never listen to music on headphones. It's essentially the same thing for at least 1 of the 2 sense involved....what if VR could be connected to your cell phone or home security system, would you still feel "cut off"?

You can feel however you'd like about VR, if you are scared t...

Your "examples" "prove" nothing other than your own biased tastes & agendas.

I highly doubt you've actually played half of the games you mentioned, possibly not even a single one. Even when you mention remasters, those aren't available on PC. There is a very long list of full PS4 exclusives. Your tastes are purely irrelevant to this conversation....the facts are that PS4 has plenty of games that anyone w/ an open mind could enjoy if they were...

There is a narrative goal...you are trying to make it to the center of the universe....unless you can do that in a couple hours, then no you can't see everything it has to see in that amount of time. Beyond that, we already know that no human being can see everything this game has to offer in a lifetime, much less a couple hours. That's just a weird criticism for such an open ended game when every other game in existence actually has a finite amount of content & gameplay

Yup...wasn't QB a UWP title? We all saw how well that worked out for the PC at least at the outset.

Believe the media line all you like, but when you do that in the face of clear proof to the contrary, the only person you will be disappointing is yourself. It's gonna take some real time to make UWP titles function as advertised on release. It ain't some magic cure all.
