I don't think Xbox Live in itself is as big a strength as the author of this article makes it out to be, as far as online play is concerned, it's on par with PSN.
Where Microsoft's service shines in comparison to the one Sony is offering right now is mainly backwards compatibility, which is a lot more consumer-friendly on Xbox than on Playstation. And the fact they have UHD BR playback (but sadly no playback option for 4K files downloaded and stored on an external drive, ...
It does, although whether this Assassin's Creed will be any good (to me at least, who quite enjoyed all the Ass.Creed games up until now, including Unity & Syndicate and excluding Revelations and the spin-offs) remains to be seen.
And it will look good on BOTH the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro. I already can't see any difference between the normal PS4 version of a game and its high-end PC version, and the difference is said by PC elitists to be big, so I'm not going to f...
Will the Dualshock 4 work on PC with my emulators if I upgrade to Win8 or 10 though? And will the usb stick Sony's selling allow me to play on PC, that is PC games and emulators, or is it just for PS Now games?
Exactly what I was about to say. They have the right to have their beliefs, but it'll be soon 4 years in the PS4 "life", and they are still to release that "Dreams" game, or any other game for that matter, so I think they should set their priorities straight.
At long last a list that gives Final Fantasy VI its rightful place!
But parasite Eve II doesn't deserve to be there, the game had lost itself with subpar locales and utterly silly enemies compared to the first iteration.
Also looking back, Final Fantasy VIII probably deserves a spot somewhere in there, and IX also of course. And XII. Final Fantasy X is fittingly absent, but X-2 deserves a top spot in the "worst" category.
I thought this would be good when I saw pics of the game prior to purchasing a PS4, what with it having a rather nice art-style and being free, but it was creepy as hell, right from the beginning with that guy on that retro-looking tv that gives you orders in russian...
I just couldn't get into it.

Oh, err, I'm not an Xbox guy, precisely because Gears of War and Halo do nothing for me, and that game you apparently detested, The Order 1886, is actually my natural go-to Gears clone, which I find a lot more enjoyable than all of Marcus Pheonix's adventures put together, and I simply don't understand how you can not have fun with games like Uncharted 4 or Infamous second son (which I like a lot more than the previous entries), and finally I'd highly recom...
The first-party-and second-party-exclusives. This is what Playstation is all about. Sony really saw a long-a$$ way ahead of the tip of their nose when they decided to create that amazing portfolio of game development studios known as "Sony Worldwide Studios". It's always been, and will always be, what saves them.
Doesn't make sense from a business point of view, why not cater to the system that has double the install base of the one you're currently working for?
Hey, those Microsoft dollars...
Anyway, before watching gameplay footage of that game this news would've hurt me a bit as a gamer, but after watching it I've come to realize that it's mainly a boss-rush game, so it doesn't matter much to me now.
Might I ask, what are those exclusives on the XBO or Wii U, that impressed you so much?
I actually agree with the author of the article. Think about it, last gen, more specifically on the PS3 we got the Resistance trilogy, the Uncharted trilogy, the Motorstorm trilogy, the LittleBigPlanet trilogy, we got two games from Quantic Dream, two God of War games, plenty of remasters (which is actually a good thing in my book provided it doesn't hamper the production of new IPs) like the Jak and daxter trilogy, the Metal Gear trilogy, the Sly Raccoon trilogy, Okami HD, the Sega genes...
Oh OK, so that hiding in a locker stuff in MGS2 was from Halloween, I see. I don't even think I've ever seen it entirely yet, maybe it's finally time to see it. But how has 2001 a space odyssey influenced his work exactly, that I don't understand. And there are probably many more movies that have influenced his work on the MG series, like that New York 1997 or w/e it's called movie with that snake pliskin character, and maybe the Rambo movies, but he strangely doesn't ...
The author of that article after the link is allowed to have his opinion, however it's not mine, so it's not the right one. So he's wrong.
Yet another update that weighs around 9 GB. And let me guess, the game install weighs about 40-50GB?
The thing I hate the most and (understand the less) about this gen, is why do the games get automatically and entirely installed on the HDD. I have only about a dozen of games, and 6 or 7 demos, and already I have pretty much no space left on the 1TB HDD of my Pro. I had trouble downloading the update for Hitman the other day, even 6GB was too much. Now tell me when you have a few doz...
That still doesn't mean it's coming out in 2018 guys, he even says it's far away, if my german is as fresh as it once was... which it isn't, lol, but that's what he says anyway ("irgendwann", "...in die weite Ferne...").
Damn, the guy entered the company in 1987, so he's been working at Sony for 30 years?!
He should be fully aware of what's cooking in the kitchen, so I think we can trust him.
But then again, corporate ...
The regularity at which those guys can line up great game after great game all while staying in the same genre never ceases to amaze me.
Glad to hear that! I've been waiting for this for a loooong time, precisely since Home Tycoon in Home on the PS3 got shut down along with Home itself. Now i'll make an even better city!
I really don't know why it took this long for someone to bring that kind of game to consoles, I mean, what's good for PC gamers is good for us console gamers too, ain't it?
Next: flight-sim on consoles please!
She's gonna be there to show everyone the VG she's been working on, it's a strategy game where you have to help mid-eastern migrants invade the old continent and wreak havoc, rape the women, plunder, burn, destroy and everything. Cause y'know:

Last time modders messed with my GTA online lobby on the PS3, I woke up and entered my garage only to find it filled to the brim with pot, lol
Wish they would shower me with cash for the inconvenience, yes, but alas i don't live in the US;
Looks nice, but I still like my black Pro better. Maybe I should see it "in person" though to really make up mymind.
