@Digital5 Sounds like you're quite the Xbox fan then, I hope you're having fun with your consoles :)

I know I'm having a blast with my PS5, and I've got a PCGP subscription for the handful of games I play on PC (mainly FPS, and a few RTS games).

So you didn't find such example because it doesn't exist. Got it.

I give credit where credit is due, regardless of platform. That being said, I game near exclusively on PS5, with the other games being on PC.

Oof, when you line it up like that, Switch has basically killed off everything else in the region. Switch cumulatively outsold the biggest non-Nintendo product (cumulatively also) by over 100x.

Feel free to show me where I said "my box is better than yours because it runs 3 fps higher". I'll hold.

That's business though, and exists in every industry, which is what I said. It's not console wars.

@Digital5 You're a perfect example of what not to be :) Try to be more like Shu.

"ORLY, and I suppose you pointed out FPS as the target when it's what PS5 beats xbox in regularly and not oh let's say Microsoft making their whole marketing campaign about "native 4k"?"

I play on PS5, so I don't really care what Microsoft runs as a marketing campaign (or Sony either for that matter, I'm smart enough to buy hardware and...

Sort of, they care about the business side of things, like any business exec should.
They don't focus on petty things like console warriors do, like "oh my plastic box runs at 3 fps higher than yours!"

100% agree on Shu, he's a staple of the industry - we need more like him, and less like Kotick and that pedophile guy from a few days back...

@CrimsonWing69 That only works for one game at a time. Not the same functionality at all.

Of course, Execs don't care about console wars - and they know a good game when they see one.

Shuhei has always been a good actor in the industry. Great guy, and this presumably means he'll be at TGA which is great.

I don't get why anyone cares about this anymore, it's just a waste of our time.

I didn't even know this was a thing... and I've spent thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars over the years...

From the name, I was expecting a TV show / short film, but looks like it'll be campaign DLC.

Sucks even more to not have QR on any games at all 🤷

QR is one of the few features Sony need to copy from MS.

@Orbilator I read the article twice, no where does it say they dropped the price due to unreliability?

1651d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

That's weak logic really, unless you're a shareholder and not a gamer.

If you are playing the game, reviews are more important than sales, and we should care more about those.

So does that mean bots were also the reason that Ghost won last year? Dang...

Hard to disagree when it's just a simple remaster (and not a full remake or a remaster of a 10 year old game).

You're supposed to just improve framerate/resolution or texture quality etc. - not remove entire modes. Even worse when the game isn't THAT old and the MP services are clearly still online + platform services haven't changed substantially.

For UC, pure speculation, but I wonder if this is something to do with it coming out on Stea...

That's a pretty steep price for an unofficial controller... if it was a Playstation made competitor to the Elite I'd be in, otherwise no.

I would like to see a third-party controller that is made cheaper (which is why I initially clicked this article), it could even be without the haptics etc. I'd like to have a cheaper pad for when friends come over to play, or kids who wreck the controller, etc.

1652d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

@Orbilator Okay, calling you a liar unless you have a reliable source on that?

Also, wouldn't that be completely illogical? If it's that unreliable AND they sell it at a discounted price, those controllers are still under the exact same warranty and therefore the losses when having to replace them are even worse.

It's more likely they're selling them at a discount because the vast majority of console gamers buy a standard controller and ar...

Both have to be cherry picked IMO. I'd say both companies did well this year. Sony knocked it out of the park the first 6 months, and then MS the last 6 months. Sony would've won the last 6 months also if COVID hadn't hit the rest of the games.

Next year is packed though, especially the first quarter. Can't wait!
