Same. $20 hike for multiplayer is insane. Definitely letting my sub lapse. And sticking to single player only. I will not be trying to 'stack' as much years of essential as I can. I shouldn't have to unexpectedly splurge money all at once to avoid having to pay an unnecessary huge price hike for a couple of years. Barely play multiplayer at all anymore. The free games and hope that a multiplayer game that would eventually get my interest would come were the only reasons why I kept...
Exact response I expected. Already addressed everything you stated. You're just saying the same thing over and over.
Glad that my "satirical rants" got under skin though. Gaming was going through the dark ages until MS saved us with that Acti purchase!
FF16 should have released on the PS4 too then I guess...
The issue with you is that you're a blind fan. No shit that split screen can be done on the S. Just as 4k can be done on the S. Just depends on the complexity/ how demanding the game is.
It's a fact that Baldur's Gate 3 struggled with split screen on the S there by delaying the X as a result. Doesn't matter if other games can do it. Other games run 60fps on the X why not Starfield? This isn't hypothetical or speculation anymore. Why couldn't the devs...
@Maniac
I know what he's trying to say and actually agree split screen isn't a big deal. I'm pointing out that you can use that logic for other modes and it would be justified. In the end the S wasn't marketed in this way and MS shouldn't be let off the hook for it even if it is the right move.
"You didn't answer my question"
Yes I did. This is article literally shows this. The Xbox release was delayed because of the S no? And is only releasing because Phil gave the the thumbs up to cut a feature which means either Phil will have to continue doing so in the future or features will get cut across the board moving forward as games get even more demanding than this gen. Remember we only knew about this issue because it was made public. Not every dev is...
It's the fact that they had to drop it. We only know about this instance because it was made public.They could have decided to internally scrap split screen across all platforms altogether and released the PS5 and Xbox versions at the same time and we'd never know. They instead went with dropping it with Phil's approval, but this is the first of anything like this happening. If Phil continues to make exceptions then sure nothing in theory would be held back, but this instance is p...
Hasn't 6-7 years been the usual timeframe for a console generation? What makes you think Sony won't release in 2026/2027? Even if a Pro released next year, 2027 would still be in question for next console release.
"The Series S just like the Switch is proof that most gamers don´t care all that much about power."
Yet they the 2 TF difference between the X and PS5 was such a big deal, which I wouldn't be surprised, you participated in.
I'm sure Phil will make an exception for them to cut out a lot of content on the Series S. Or they can make it streaming only for the S.
I like how you two above mentioned $2000 phones lol
At that price it better be able to say hi 😂
"split screen is not a core game feature for THIS game. For a game like It Takes Two, it IS."
Darth... Are you saying that for example if a developer were to omit let's say a New Game+ mode or a Photo mode for Series S but have it for the Series X, that would be okay because it's not a "core" feature?
That explains the always online.
So are you saying that the developers are lying?
My main point is that, if only Phil had this thought process back then as he does now.
I was joking about the slashing prices. Was poking fun at when Phil said in response to when asked about Sony's price hike that 'now isn't the right time to rise prices' due to current economic struggles as if things were suddenly going to the get better the following year.
Come on Phil! In a time when your customers are more economically challenged and uncertain than ever, now is not the right move for you at this point to be keeping prices the same on your console! Slash prices for now to give your customers relief and bring them back up next year when the economy will magically recover!
Edit: Phil's current take on mid gen upgrade is so weird given what he said when asked about the series s earlier this gen when he said he had faith th...
This shows that Series S can/will hold this gen back a bit. People were saying keeping games cross gen with the Xbox One/PS4 being the base consoles were the reason, but as games get more demanding, I wouldn't be surprised if Phil has to make more exceptions like this in the future.
Didn't know 'Azure Kinect' was a thing.
@IRetrouk
It's a marketing tactic! They're getting the attention for the game that they wouldn't have otherwise gotten even though it released to great reviews from critics!
"I agree, the way they released it was smart. The fact that they released it at all was not."
That's my point. I never said that releasing it was a good idea. How they went about announcing it was however.
Remember, when the PS5 was announced the only thing we could compare it to was the X. The S was not announced/official yet so all the talk was about the TF difference. When the S was eventually announced the main talking points was still ...
"I hate that if a company tries to bury something as part of another announcement, no news article can be posted about it on N4G, It basically makes sure it gets buried on N4G too."
Yes, I've always hated that N4G considers it a duplicate just because an article submitted is rightfully bringing attention to something that was purposefully buried in the main announcement of an article that was submitted. They have that "story within a story" rule whic...
