@Sokol...
I think you are missing the point... Sony had the markets as almost monopolies. They behaved just like every other company does (aka MS) when they had the chance, but then competitors came in a took over the markets.

Of course Sony is adjusting and fighting back, but that's not because they are doing humanity a favor... It is for survival of their business. Just like every other business does (aka MS)...

I was super excited about this game before E3. But, after the E3 demo I felt a bit let down.

There was really nothing wrong with the game in the demo. It just didn't feel like there was anything special in the game.

I will definitely buy and play it. But, I don't see it as the next big game.... Bloodbourne on the other hand.... Let's just put it this way, I am drooling to get to Bloodbourne...

I like the season 2 killer instinct just as much as I liked season 1...

Have played both and it seems pretty much the same.

I am positive there is a difference in resolution as the article both shows and states. But, resolution makes almost know difference in how a fighting game like this plays... Yes it may make a difference when you are looking down the scope of a rifle in CoD, BF, or Halo... But, in a fighting game it means next to nothing. I still en...

Really? What about how Sony used to charge high prices for consumer electronics like walkmans, discmans, receivers, cameras, TVs, etc.

This is interesting. I'm not sure it is news worthy, but it is interesting to read the comemnts...

If it had been MS who did this, comments would be ablaze with "Here we go again Microsoft", "Microsoft is greedy", and "This is why I will never buy an X1".

Instead, since it is a Sony article the pre-dominate comments are "The title of the article is wrong" (which it is), "Don't blame Sony", etc.

@-Foxtrot
And Sony is any better than Microsoft?

I remember the PS3 launch. A $600 console yet people were complaining at MS this gen for a $500 console.

PS3 Move. How much great support is Sony giving people who invested in Move? Games for Move have almost completely disappeared.

How, about dual-boot? Sony back tracked on that last generation...

How about backwards compatibility? They also back tracked on that la...

Honestly, I don't care if they just make the same Batman games with different criminals and different stuff...

They don't have to innovate every time if the story is good, the gameplay is good, and the overall game is good.

The last three batmans are all great games. As long as they ship bug free (unlike Arkham Origins) it will be fine with me...

What's wrong with the holiday lineup?

Project Spark just shipped and is scoring good. Forza Horizon 2 has shipped and has scored very good. D4 shipped and scored well. Dance Central Spotlight shipped and scored good. Killer Instinct Season 2 will score good.

Next up Sunset Overdrive, Dynasty Warriors 8, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Halo MCC... Plus, a bunch more catchup Indie games...

The Wii U is looking good with Bayonetta 2 and S...

I find it difficult to believe anything around Ninja Theory is any better than any other devt. Their games have been good, but I wouldn't call any of their games exceptional or overly innovative.

Sales of their games have also been very average. Given the exposure they have received, you would've thought they would be able to sell more on their games.

I like devts being transparent, but that is not necessarily going to translate into a better game b...

1080p and 60 FPS is more about the complexity of the graphical environment and computing required from the game engine than it is about the hardware overall.

A developer can bring any console or computer to its knees depending on how they use and require processing. No console or computer today can fully simulate real life in 1080p and 60 FPS (Ex. Interact with absolutely everything on screen, in the game environment with great AI and a great game engine).

People really don't understand the origins of the parity clause...

It originated with 360 is my understanding because lots of 3rd party developers were passing up the original xbox when making games in favor of the very popular PS2 first, then xbox later. Then, when 360 came out MS invented the parity clause to essentially say to 3rd party developers, "If you want to ship on 360, you have to do it day one along with PS". This made developers change their strat...

@chrismichaels04.
Since you include TLOU and Final Fantasy Realm Reborn as PS exclusive you need to on the XB1 side include Halo Master Chief Collection. Halo = 97, Halo 2 = 95, Halo 3 = 91, Halo 4 = 87 on Metacritic.

So, in one collection, MS is shipping 4 full games that are above 85 on metacritic (3 above 90). In addition to FH2 and Titanfall.

Yep, Horizon 2 is like car crack... I sit down and next thing I know hours are gone and there is still so much to do!

Yep, I remember last generation on 360 when MS limited the number and patch sizes... Devts and pubs were forced to make working games on day one.

Now, that there are no costs and limits associated to patches we get this kind of crap.

Thanks, all the people who ridiculed console vendors (MS) that charged for and limited the size of patches. This was the best policy of last gen, and gamers whined that it hurt indies, now 75% of games ship unfinished.

People are really putting a hate on MS here... But, people have to realize several things...

1) It is in devts/pubs best interest for their IPs to play and look exactly the same on the consoles as this creates brand consistency.

2) It is in the devts/pubs best interest to stay as neutral as possible in the console wars.

3) As more and more games become truly next generation it will be harder and harder for devts/pubs to maintain 1080p in eve...

I love how many gamers are game developers in these threads.

I don't care what resolution this game ships at, if its a great game, it will still be a great game.

@BG11579 and u4one...
To begin with I have a PS4 and only bought Transistor from the bunch you two listed and it is an above average game but not exactly epic in any way shape or form.

And considering No Man's Sky has yet to ship I think PS4 gamers are missing it as well... PS4 gamers are missing out on Ori and the Blind forest, Crimson Dragon, and Max the Curse of Brotherhood "to name a few"...

So what you are saying is XB owners are m...
