Ugh I hate this argument so much. The hardcore fans who buy First party games will be the first ones to move over to PS5.
Gosh, you can't say "the PS5 lets us make games in new ways we couldn't before" and also say "our game is coming to PS4 as well" and have both be true. Miles Morales is no big deal because it was always kind of a stepped up PS4 game, but Horizon being developed for PS4 (I rip Xbox for catering to the lowest denominator, so Sony gets it too) and basically only upgraded for PS5 is a nightmare. Really undercuts several narratives about the system and their approach to...
That was the thing that was obvious lol. It was never about the cost of the parts.
Remember all the "a disc drive costs about $50, that will be the price difference" people? Remember how obvious it was they were wrong?
Sigh. Xbox was significantly more powerful than PS2, but was a vastly inferior device. Try again.
Lol when Bloomberg is just as inaccurate as Smeagol.
Yeah, I always assumed the fact that skill matters less in BR games was a big reason they are popular with so many people. That's not to say skill doesn't matter at all, it obviously does, but someone who would be dead last on their team every game in something like COD or Battlefield can occasionally have a game of Fortnite or Pubg where they make it to the top handful of players, and that can keep them interested in a way they wouldn't be with a traditional shooter.
Not to mention Gamecube, which had low sales, and, despite everyone's revisionist history about how they all had it as a kid, Nintendo 64 didn't sell very well either in comparison to the PS1.
Please don't bring facts into this discussion, they aren't welcome here.
This is the best Nintendo has been in my view since the Gamecube. I took a hard stance against the Wii, which was unpopular at the time, but I feel like history has proven me right. Wii U there was pretty much universal agreement it was terrible. Gamecube was great, but that was a long time ago now.
So there was once this thing called the PSP...
I'll never understand the switch hate on here. It makes sense as a device; at least it does something different. Xbox has just been three generations of MS trying to make a better PlayStation than Sony, and they were only successful for about 3 years (I wouldn't even grant that 360 was better early in the gen, but I know most people do). (Yes I know "but cahmpatition!")
At least Switch is something different, rather than just a similar machine with the sam...
I think a lot of people preferred the maps in 3. Also, although this wouldn't have any impact on a remaster (although there could certainly be other technical issues), BF4 was kind of a trainwreck at first in multiplayer with server issues, etc, and I think that permanently soured some people on it.
Hmm if only there was some way to by a game that didn't rely on stores having enough copies.
This must be wrong. I've been told by reliable sources that the only difference will be resolution in new games.
If he is quoting devs who know what they are talking about, rather than MS fans who just blindly say "scalability" or "it's a 1440p console, and resolution will be the only difference," the piece isn't slander. At worst it's a reasonably-informed opinion.
Kind of amazing how 1.7 TF makes a world of difference, but 8 makes none at all except resolution.

You are right; obviously installing from disc is faster and doesn't eat up your broadband cap for those who have them (I don't know where that is, but people mention it). I should have distinguished that people have specifically argued with me that games still actually run from the disc.
All these "XSS is for the casuals" and "everyone who will use XSS already has a large external HDD anyway" comments really don't go together at all. I promise you most casuals probably don't understand that you can hook up an external HDD to a console.
Very disappointed that the first comment was not "Nanomachines, Son."
