I don't think "we" are, because no one in these comments agrees with TomsGuide that XSX will become Number 1.
Even worse than Sony's lead-up to the PS3 launch, Microsoft dropped the ball in even the inconceivable ways for Xbox One. I think they'll do better since the messaging this time is actually about their hardware and playing games on it. It's not like Mattrick talking about TV connections and Kinect following you on your Skype call. They'...
This is the same dev that last week was being used by Gaming Bolt to praise the PS5 SSD while admitting that he doesn't have any next-gen dev kits and that he based his information off what he's read online and in presentations.
Gaming Bolt is a fraud; this isn't even Xbox vs PlayStation.
Could Destiny 2 survive backlash if you had to rebuy all of the old expansions? Or 1st-party Halo Infinite being cross-gen as only the 2nd New-Halo to Xbox One? Cyberpunk a huge maybe 100 hour RPG releasing two months before consoles with SSDs and ray-tracing, but is marketed with ray-tracing on two-year-old PC GPUs?
This gen's unique in that almost all of the most-hyped games are hitting a couples weeks/months before a new gen, and launch titles are never known for the...
@Pixel And to add on to that, it's a no-duh-eventually. Of course they're going to bring PS5 to PS Now, but Sony's been very focused on their messaging. This was about the games, not the services. And now we know the front and top of the system, but not the back or even the UI yet.
Nintendo is so backwards on hardware you can't even transfer a save file to an SD Card off the console. Sony's cash cow is PlayStation, they need the dedicated hardware for their business. Microsoft owns Xbox, Windows and Azure, so even when you ignore Game Pass and their titles on Steam, if you pay for PS Now, MS is still getting some of that buck.
Since none of them compete for the same exact piece of the Hardware puzzle anymore, they each focus on what their best...
Dang, you just exist to crap on everything, don't ya?
1. The mix-up was after the event, so this isn't valid to include even though they've already clarified it
2. Demons Souls being published with Sony is the only reason Dark Souls exists...
3. This is a blessing
4. Futuristic PS5 vs Brutalist XSX. Polls are overwhelmingly approving of the design so the author ends their list as dumb as it began
Nearly double the Wii U, in fact.
If I decided to buy a Series S I've already made the conscious decision that an X is not for me...
But I'll bite your bait anyway, and it's simple: Convenience, Enhancements, Legacy. I don't want to move a PC around or kick my spouse off of it just because I want to play Halo in its best quality. I've got Xbox games dating back to 2003, most are compatible and will likely be enhanced with AI-generated HDR *at the least* and even 4K/better framerates in a...
iPhone SE, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max. iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro 11 and 12.9, iPad mini.
Just some options of extremely successful products from one company that all happen to share the same OS, app store, ecosystem, services, and design language.
IGN has a good comparison up with this, PS4 Pro, One X and Series X.
This gen will be the gen of beasts
GT, Sackboy, and Astro Bot are 60 - Ratchet and Oddworld are not. That's what I meant. I can see that's worded confusingly and I can't edit it...
Oh it's of course capable of handling 4k60. GT, Sackboy, Astro Bot hit it or at least target it based on DF analysis.
But for nearly all the other first party titles, Sony seems to be prioritizing high-fidelity 30fps. If Spider-Man was going to be a 60fps title, we'd have that trailer by now
I could see even a $100 price difference, given that drive will get you (in marketing speak) an UltraHD Blu Ray & DVD Player and access to the PS4 games you have on disc. $400-$500 or (please no) $500-$600
Sony's YouTube seems to make it clear which games are 60 and which are sticking to 30 unfortunately.
GT, Sackboy, Astro Bot. Not even Ratchet is 60. Not even Oddworld is 60 and that's a cross-gen game Digital Foundry played on PC at 60fps last year.
@ken The Initiative is very likely on a new IP. Everwild is a new IP. Hellblade 2 is just a sequel, not a long-term franchise. Halo, Forza, Gears 5 Enhanced, whatever other BC titles that will be enhanced at or around launch. That's what we know about.
Sony had a spin-off of a very long-existing multimedia IP (SM:MM), a sort-of spin-off pack-in that's also the second in its franchise (Astro Bot), the second in its franchise (Horizon 2), a remake (Demon's Souls),...
Sony has demonstrated that they have the best developers, that's for certain. We finally have next-gen titles to look forward to...
But... is no one else even slightly disappointed with what we're getting at launch? What is there, first-party content-wise, besides the free Astro Bot, and the Spider-Man spin-off?
I watched the whole event and felt this way yesterday, but now that I've had time to think about it...
Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be their biggest PS5 exclusive for how long? And that's not even a full from-the-ground-up PS5 game. It's a stop-gap developed to give us something before that sequel, exploiting the PS5's faster asset loading because Spider-Man has been their metric from the very first demos of PS5's SSD.
That's kin...
This same developer from the same interview said that he based his information on presentations and the internet.
His comment at the end is vague and any fanboy cannot interpret it to mean their favorite platform. The PS4 was the more powerful system and the more powerful system performed better. He's given two numbers where the XSX is more powerful and then says "it" will "stay the same".
It being... What? That PS will stay the hi...
I remember being so excited for this game when I was 9. We were on a long family reunion and my cousin offered to take me to Hollywood Video to rent a console after we bought the game at Target a day earlier. I threw my shoes on, ran out to the car so excited and happy.
Then I tripped on my shoelaces, busted open my wrist, and by the time I was done crying, she was back with the N64.
