But Phil! You said games like Horizon have no impact!
B-b-but I was told Sony wants a total monopoly on gaming!
...that was also 2D?
...they want me to pay for mods I could get for free?
"Nintendo is console gaming's only hope."
Mhm.

Sure it is.
EDIT: Did you really, really cite conspiracy theory threads on 4chan that have been debunked as "proof" Sony's somehow trying to create a "monopoly"?
Seek help, my guy. ...
No, they're not "far more demanding". They're far more demanding on a GPU-side, not the CUP side. This game's physics, object count, AI, all of it, run off the CPU. The CPU is what needs to be beefed up for 60fps, not the GPU. GPU will affect resolution and ONLY resolution.
4K is being "Evaluated" because it would have to be implemented after the fact since the game Launches before the console. Day 1 vs Post-Launch support will be different and they don't want to make guarantees until they're sure. It's literally that simple.
Sounds like they're saying they don't have their Dev Kit yet.
The Destiny deal was made before PS4 and Xbone were even out, but the PS4 was, on paper, more powerful then. By a good margin.
The idea of "Parity" wouldn't even exist to them at that time. "Destiny 2" is not a new or separate deal.
And, again, MS has First Party games running only at 30fps, including Crackdown, and has Assassin's Creed Origins saying they had to use Dynamic 4k to keep to 30fps. And MS has the marketing deal f...
Crossplay would require linking a PSN account with Xbox Live. Between MS using that to fluff up their competing numbers AND the fact that it means MS has access to their users' account info, I don't blame them for saying no.
That said, trying to hide behind "won't someone think of the children" was stupid.
Marketing deals for Destiny and Star Wars were in place long before Scorpio was a thing, man. There'd have been no NEED for any kind of Parity Mandate in those as the PS4 WAS more powerful than the Xbox One. Heck, the Destiny deal (which applies to the series, not just one game) was inked before either system was out with their specs revealed.
Eh, not ALL are optional. Those crane and helicopter scenes, for example. No way you pull those off without it.
...Cerny is married to a woman, my dude.
So you're telling me you think Sony went out and spent millions to remake this game from the ground up in HOPES it'll sell well enough to cover the costs because they don't want to "allow" the game to be played on their system?
Yeah ok that logic makes sense.
The GPU cannot, inherently, handle all CPU tasks. That extra power doesn't mean squat when it comes to a CPU workload.
The vanilla PS4 was designed to let the GPU handle any lighter tasks to free up the CPU too. It's not a cure-all.
You know how people are. Gotta try to nitpick.
Heck there are people who think because Miles showed up that he was the one in the suit. lol
The irony is a lot of fanboys WANT it to be a cookie cutter sequel.
Nah man. They said after the reveal it's a continuation of the series, not a reboot. I mean he still has "Spartan Rage" for crying out loud.
You need to learn the difference between CPU and GPU workloads, son. It would save you such a headache.
The New Box is still a Jag. You act like it's on the level of a high-end i7.
Actually, no. It's also 2.5D
