I think frame rate should trump resolution. There has been an over obsession with resolution since the start of this Gen. However, none of the current console have a beefy enough CPU to consistently deliver 60 FPS.
Had PUBG released on PS4, it would have likely sold well on that platform also.
Personal opinion
Halo CE
Halo 2 tied with Halo 3
Halo 5
Halo 4 tied with Reach
Halo 3: ODST
There are things in each game I dislike armour abilities in Halo Reach and 4 mp, several flood levels in Halo 1 -3, Halo 5’s story and excessive amount of characters, lack of hit scan in Halo 3,etc . However, I enjoy the games enough that I keep playing them. Halo 5, in my opinion offers the best balanced competitive mp on conso...
This developers games aren’t generally considered to be that good, nor are they successful.
I don’t see the appeal of paying to beta test games. Especially games that seems to not get optimized properly.
Isn’t PUBG known for poor performance in genera? I have heard the game only runs well on high end PCs due to optimization issues.
I don’t like the fact that MS (and others) pay for console exclusives, especially when said company won’t own the game they’re funding. I don’t know how much MS paid for PUBG, but I assume it was in the 10s of millions. AAA games cost 20-50 Million plus to develop, and MS has been criticized for its lack of AAA content compared to Sony. I think money would be better spent investing into owned projects, buy a game like PUBG will likely be successful on Xbox.
I am still baffled at all the money MS threw at 3rd party indies like super lucky tales. I assume very few Xbox fans bought it as no one asked for it.Give Xbox fans the IPs that they want and have been asking.
On topic Gears of War 4 is steak at $20 bucks, campaign is largely solid and the mp is pretty we’ll balanced for competitive play.
EA Battlefront 2 the second greatest Star Wars game of all time really.....
My personal favorite Star Wars games
(I really haven’t played through many Star Wars games).
1. Kotor
2. Star Wars Republic Commando
3. Kotor 2
4. Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005)
5. Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
Yes MS did remake the game, but Nintendo backed out of the agreement, leading to the project being canceled.
The Half-Life Trilogy....oh wait....
Timesplitters barely resembles Overwatch..... Sadly, Timesplitters was never as successful as Perfect Dark or Goldeneye 007.
The game awards functions more like advertisement for publishers that back it than an actual award show. The categories for nomination changes yearly also. For example this year there was no best graphics category.
I generally don't think Bethesda published games look that great (the Bethesda games developed by iD Software such as Doom and machine game's Wolfenstein titles are an exceptions). I'm surprised Prey didn't use iD Tech 6 like Doom. I thought Doom on PS4 looked great, besides some weird textures in some areas of campaign and mp.
I'm playing through Prey right now. I think Prey is far from gorgeous. Prey to me looks dated with low-poly models, muddy textures, and bad animations. However, I do like the games low sci-fi, psuedo-cyberpunk artstyle.
Disappointing sales should be expected:
1. Bad PR, loot box controversy, reviews weren’t great either.
2. Battlefront (2015) sold off of the hype for Force Awakens, Star Wars hype has died down.
3. A lot of people disliked Battlefront (2015), it had ludacris sales but very poor player retention.
4. Bad word of mouth. Battlefront 2 (2017), is a “one step forward - one (sometimes two) step back ” sequel.
5. Ongoing negative PR as holiday sa...
@cfc83 The mp in my opinion was meh. I would of like it more if it focused itself on being an arena shooter. The mp was generally not well received by players, especially the PC userbase.
Nintendo is likely covering the budget. While Sega, the owner of Bayonetta gets a cut of sales profits from licensing.
The mp of Doom had a low population within a few months of its launch.
By “Consistently deliver 60 FPS”, I mean nearly all games, regardless of level size or mode. Consoles, currently don’t have many 60 FPS singleplayer games. I do agree with you some devs don’t use hardware as well as others. I am currently playing through Prey (2017); the game feels and looks plain unoptimized.
