Hey, the story got tagged in X1 news...
Explain why a PS4Attitude story about only the PS4 gets tagged as X1 news and I'll explain why I listed some XB only studios.
Rare?
ID Software?
Valve?
Epic?
Twisted Pixel?
People Can Fly?
Insomniac?
Irrational Games?
Codemasters?
Only Sony fanboys see these devices separately.
Console vendors do not make significant money from number of consoles sold. They make money from subscriptions to the add-on services like XBL, XB Video, etc. and games that are released.
By broadening the accessibility of games to other platforms MS is expanding the potential market to buy their games. This is why MS makes money and Sony loses money every year. MS realizes that they need more of a market to ...

Parity is a business model MS has chosen. If you don't like it, then PC gaming is where you should be. Because as the console generation progresses, the PC gets stronger and stronger. And the games get better and better graphically making the consoles look more and more out of date.
If graphics are the only thing that matters to you then PC gaming is the only place to be, not consoles. My PC runs circles around the PS4 and X1. But, I game mostly on...
I really just like how the beta has appeared 10 months before the game probably releases. It actually gives them the time necessary to make real changes. This is how betas should be.
I laugh at betas a few weeks before a release... They have absolutely no time to really fix anything game breaking.
I don't see a problem with games or updates on X1. Sunset Overdrive, D4, Project Spark, Killer Instinct, Forza Horizon 2, Forza Motorsports 5, DR3, Ryse, Halo MCC... Nothing wrong with that list. It's kept me busy...
Sony fans really like to talk about indie games this generation, but why did Sony fans not think indie was important last generation? Last gen, XB360 had 10's of thousands of them literally through the Indie Games section of marketplace. So why h...
@ShwankyShpanky
Parity clause.
lol. A downloadable tower defense game. I agree that it is a good IP, and am disappointed its not coming to X1.
But, if they don't want my money that is their choice. Console vendor policies are clear, and I prefer the console policies on X1 over PS4. If they prefer to play petty games over console vendor policies that is their choice. Not mine as a gamer.
I hate annualized franchises and re-releases of games under the guise of definitive, re-mastered, or HD.
I wonder how many billions Sony lost on the Cell chip?
While I like that SOE is now independent and multi-platform, I am not sure their games are much of a gamer changer.
They aren't at all bad games, but they aren't AAA masterpieces neither.
@mikeslemonade
FF XIV Realm Reborn is also on PS3. I am sure if the PS3 can do it, the X1 would have no problem.
@GameNameFame
Only Sony fanboys care about that kind of resolution difference now. 80% of the planet cannot tell the difference between a PS4 and a Xbox One multi-platform game now.
@DigitalRaptor
I don't think any IPs developed by SOE will be PS exclusive anymore. Nobody truly knows the terms of the agreement, but I would assume (if I was buying them) they would've taken ownership of all IPs associated to SOE regardless of the label they were published under.
It wouldn't make much sense buying a developer just for developers or a limited set of IPs. It would make most sense to get all the IPs they developed as well.
This continues a trend that will become more and more prevalent.
Game developers cannot make money when they are exclusive to a single platform. In a world of PC, mobile and console gaming the game developers must be able to put their games on every platform to truly make money.
Whether it be MS moving more games onto Windows or taking exclusive game developers multi-platform that is the way of the future. Neither MS nor Sony can afford not to. All these y...
Sony fanboy take = SOE sucked anyhow
XB fanboy take = all those games we said sux now rule
Give me the smoothest frame rate possible in a game please. I don't care about hitting 60 FPS. But, I do care that it never noticeably slows or drops below 30 FPS.
A noticeable drop in frame rate or games that can't hold 30 FPS really ruin the experience.
A good game is a good game regardless of graphical parity. There has been quite a few new games released this generation and not one is great because of its graphics only.
You look at the top selling new games (games that are not re-masters or ports) this generation. Dragon Age, Shadow of Mordor, CoD, BF, etc... Their strength is primarily in gameplay. Graphics are secondary to gameplay.
Parity simplifies development a lot. I would rather developers focu...
Yep, the article lost all credibility in that statement.
Killer Instinct is the only Tully next gen fighting game to date, and it is one of the most well-balanced fighting games ere made.
Everything else in the article is common knowledge.
I think that people are just tired of what Destiny is offering.
DLC...
Grind...
Bugs...
Rinse and repeat...
I hear watch your saying, but when you have probably about 200-300 people working on a game, and all you see is money flying out the door you would probably get anxious as well. Especially a company like Konami where this is probably one of their biggest releases this generation.
