Absolute rubbish. No sense at all. The games will speak for themselves. Apparently this parity clause seeps places it does not belong too (*cough* Assassin's Creed *cough*).
It's Microsoft's ego plain and simple.
The PS4 was built for playing games not for a media center. If someone bought the PS4 to play MP3's perhaps they should have read the label so to speak. The PS4 is a gaming console, anything else is just a bonus. Ya I know the Xbone can do yadda yadda so go buy one. 'Xbox On' big deal. Killzone, Infamous , Blood Bourne etc is a much bigger deal.
So everyone get their Jollies comparing apples to oranges I'm going to go play a game.
I most likely will. I thin Destiny is awesome. Got 4 hours in and having a blast!
Titanfall??? Really??? Played it on pc with the free for 48 hours deal from EA. After the initial training (what a freaking bore that was), I only used about 2 hours worth. Left thinking, dang I will never get that time back. I thought it was really boring and looked like a mediocre indie game.
Coding Guru's? Microsoft hired new programmers lately??? I did not know that. /sarcasm (sort of).
Don't forget Linux! MS can be avoided if you choose to.
Okay...I'll bite...Minecraft is rubbish! I honestly don't get the attraction but I know I'm in the minority, so this deal (whatever it turns out to be) does not matter to me. However, typical MS. Hey that looks good, let's buy it. Such a knee jerking company of late. And yes MS has started some 1st party studios just like Sony the difference being...
Sony; This company has a great idea let's buy/fund them.
MS; Holy crap, we're in t...
And you believe Microsoft why? Because of their past history? They are turning a new leaf? I don't think so. MS buys stuff so they can monopolize on it. Done soooo many times already Somehow, someway MS will give someone the middle finger.
This and the order will make me decide on a ps4 or not. So far it looks like i must save my pennies.
Actually that could. It may be a cancerous growth.
That could actually be true. Might be cancerous?
I do think this could hurt both Square and MS. If 1,000,000 PS4 users were going to buy this game now they are unable to. No profit made by Square, loss of potential sales for sure. Simple numbers. Will any Xbox user not buy the game because it is on their platform...probably not. However, will as many people buy the game to make a profit? That is of course yet to be seen. And, we do not know how much money changed hands in the deal. They could make out big or lose a bundle. In any ca...
I am by no means a Microsoft fan and I game on PC and PS3 right now and will NEVER buy an MS gaming system. But...losing 6 fps from 60 fps is absolutely nothing. If it stays between 50 and 60fps I consider that completely unnoticeable. That's even too petty for die hard MS hater like myself. Sheesh!
That should be the case regardless if they're Indie or not. Just because you have more money or are a AAA developer does not entitle you to anything other than doing what you say you will do.
None of them are appealing enough though. Gears is the only one I wish would come to PC. Titanfall=meh, Sunset Overdrive=wtf?, Forza=don't do driving games. Just my opinion.
I will skip as well. Not buying ANY system for 1 game. yes I know Xbox has Halo etc. but nah, still not enough.
100% Agreed
Sorry but personally I'm not complaining about MS, I'm complaining about SE/CD. This is purely a dick move by them. Turning their back on their fans is the biggest issue as far as I'm concerned. This isn't Xbox vs PS4 as I don't have either, I game on PC. I supported them for years and for what...to get stabbed in the back? No loyalty at all, it's a damn shame.
Huge mistake by crystal dynamics I don't care how much money MS is giving them. Not only are they alienating a huge fan base but they are tarnishing their reputation. "We can be bought and we don't really care who else buys our product". Getting sick and tired of money grubbing people/companies. Where's the dignity gone, the appreciation? How many people pc (me), xbox, ps4 bought the last tomb raider and this is how we get repaid. Discusting. And no, this will not m...
Ya right. So many people have sooo much money and sooo much time. I want to believe but just can't.
