I think part of the solution for your main question is licencing and royalties. On PC you don't have to pay anyone for the privilege of developing on a particular console (i say privilege because otherwise i don't see why people would need to pay fees)
But i think this question touches ALOT os aspects, i would like to focus on 2, which i think are mostly seen by us gamers:
1. Exorbitant advertising:
You see, all i do is to look online for rele...
just a little over a week ago i started to play transistor. i've just finished it and i'm loving the OST.
If these are the indies you're talking about, then shame on you!
I think SONY doesn't need to stop indies and they don't need to stop 1st and 2nds. You can find great games and sh!tty ones in both camps.
Its a beta. While I think ps2/1 should be played natively on the ps4, it would completwly acceptable that:
-theyre testing with ps3 because these games are bigger, beefier thus more demanding on the infrastructure
- they need first to finish trophy support for these older games. Sony has a patent for that, maybe they are still developing that part
Good thing the people at EA have the brains to realize this was just a month's worth of performance...going by the general idea here, everybody in spain should some some numbers... And how exactly would you account for Brazil? if Neymar is playing they get +5 attack and if not -5 ?
When silva is playing defense gets +5 and if not they get -10?
If only i could agree more than once...
i'm curious as to what will they do about Bale's acceleration vs CR's
Now, ima great SONY fan, i love that brand...but you guys gotta concede that this fw is lacking.
You gotta concede that SONY dropped the ball here.
How can they justify that the PS3, with its quirky os and architecture has features that the easier, beefier, simpler PS4 doesnt?
Mp3? dlna? manage vita content? dynamic backgrounds ffs...
there is no excuse. You cant tell me that they couldnt scramble a group of sw engineers to make this in time ...
build quality, long term support and great exclusives. i just bought my ps4 today and social media had nothing to do with it.
Well... how does a company knows what they are good at without trying? Take google. Started out as a search engine, they are making cars now.
I think a new console will crowd the home console market but it can succeed. I mean, think how xbox began. If google assembles 2-3studios and acknowledges that their first iteration will be just to build consumer base, their second console could really be something. And I think google can make cloud (as in MS' s cloud for games) hap...
This analysis is wrong. If you see this E3 for itself, then there is no clear winner and arguments can be made both ways.
Its only when you consider past situation that you can see why people are saying MS won:
SONY hadn't big corners to improve, they just had to continue riding the wave; Still, scarecrow missions, UC4, Bloodborne and Now were great.
MS had only one real option, and that was to show their gaming side...which they did, in ...
"GPU ROPs Differences Between PS4 & Xbox One Don't Reflect Practical Scenarios, eSRAM Still A Factor"
well...i know something does reflect differences in practical scenarios because said differences are there for everyone to see.
So...they didnt think of releasing FF13-3 based on Sales but had the presence of mind to even think of this?
Something new? hmm..... what about quitting and stop the god damn milking? nowadays these DBZ games are all the same minus one or two characters. Just let it go..let Goku rest in peace.
We need a newer and better term for this.
Its not scandal anymore when it starts to look like its the norm.
This is utter bullshit.
Im a SONY hardcore fan (but i dont define myself as fanboy tho) but i cant stand this; It only takes a small misstep and its all doom and gloom. Cmon people...by these same standards the ps3 was dead 1 second after launch...we all remember how that ended, right?
Yes, it didnt sell like a motherfck*er, but is it dead because of it? It's the frickin 1st year!
Aww guys, just quit it. lets talk about something else, ok?
There is no catching up to do since no new hardware is going to be added to XOne. yes, an new sdk is coming, better drivers, better tools i think...
Allright. i will play along.
MS cooks up a new sdk, it decreases the gap by some percentage...then SONY cooks up a new sdk and restores the difference...see?
people thinking that MS will ever close that gap via software only are ...
haha.
they should hire some of the people that made pcsx2....now that i think of it, wasnt there some patent by sony dealing with adding trophy support to games without modifying them?
It makes sense, because it would add another incentive to replay all those old glories of the past
The amount of comments her only serve to show how a big name GeOW still is, no use denying it.
In the meantime, i'll be playing my games on my vita, (PS3 broke, still waiting for a PS4) so i dont see the point in this. MS bought it? f**k it :) good luck. Why you guys push each others buttons over the most silly things like this one?
valid points, but i prefer 3rd over 1st anyday, in any genre. My personal choice.
well...Achilles wasn't that big on the mythology. He wasn't perfect (the heel thing) that's why Hercules came along. the perfect hero, demigod and all, and we all saw what happened to him. They really need to let the greek pantheon go.
To me, i would really like to know where Athena go or what she really became. she turned into something bigger than gods/titans, so maybe that's what Kratos is going after. But this whole story is a sham.
He k...
