Genuine question.
Wheres the 'risk' and what does it take away from traditional gaming to support/allow VR and existing third party devices/games?
I got the feeling everyone is giving the excuse of 'focus' (including Spencer) but Spencer is straight dismissing VR completely on consoles.
Spencer said customers don’t associate Xbox with VR, nor do they expect it from the brand.
“I have some issues with VR — it’s isolating and I think of games as a communal, kind of together experience. We’re responding to what our customers are asking for and… nobody’s asking for VR,” Spencer said.
The vast majority of our customers know if they want a VR experience, there’s places to go get those. We see the volumes of those on PC and other places.”
That sounds like George Orwell newspeak
Back in Sydney in 2016, Spencer told us that VR would come to Xbox One X (then Project Scorpio) when it didn’t feel like “demos and experiments.”
“Yeah,” he said with a frown. “I don’t love my quote there because I’m not trying to demean the work that people are doing in VR,” he said, mirroring a follow-up to his opening statement in Sydney.
This one is not much better:
“I have some issues with VR — it’s isolating and I think of games a...
Wait a min. Is that actually a ps5 then? (Of course they dont know what it looks like yet so that's the shape of a ps4)
The only people silencing others are the ones trying to belittle them with deriding name calling and unable the tolerate their opinion. Gamers are priests now? Thats a new one. Or...brain-washed member of the Holy PlayStation Church.... :/
I vote for more detailed worlds, more destruction etc
Correct. 'Some'. That doesn't mean everything.
Problem is for instance when devs say they dont have a political agenda they get criticized. Not everything has to be politically motivated even if politics is represented in the game.
IGN making no sense again
I mostly agree with you, console wars is a good thing from the companies. However I dont see it to be a good thing when it's from gamers and also gaming sites pushing it for traffic.
When someone enjoys sharing their passion (as long as it's not the idiotic promoting and advertising length some fanatics go into) these a no reason why people cant tolerate some one enjoying whatever game or platform they wish and call them names (like fanboy etc)
Also it ent...
Its interesting read and I agree the companies have different approach that we saw coming long ago already. However theres a lot of wishful thinking emphasized in the conclusion.
'There aren’t console gamers or PC Gamers. We are all gamers, period.'
Is just denying the facts with virtue signalling magic powder. We are all gamers doesn't contradict the tact that people have preferences and different approaches to playing video games even including on ...
That's not true. It did get roasted and it's stupid.
Theres nothing wrong with it.
If I say 'your not a genius' and people disagree, that doesn't mean other people think you are.
'Hideo Kojima is not a genius or anything close to that.'

Actually I've read the SSD for instance allows to manipulate a lot of data and have an even more realistic and interactive world.
What's hard to understand with 'some people' though. It's not like he said 'everyone who doesn't like it'
What hes saying isn't wrong though. He said 'some people' and doesn't generalise.
Dont take it personally.
'Death Stranding will be talked about for years to come.'
I know. I'm even more excited to play it as people tell how they enjoy it. Just waiting for the right time for me.
'Google Stadia Is the Best of PC and the Best of Console, Says Developer'
Haha that made me genuinely laugh.
Disagrees, please explain.
What does it take away from Ms 'focus'?
