I recall everyone here completely and totally s**ting on MS when Phil Spencer floated this idea a couple months ago.

So maybe no? Or has anything about this changed since then?

"sluggish controls"

How exactly are the controls "sluggish"?

"dead zones"

What exactly does this mean?

"cash grab mentality"

Since when did $60 or $50 for 25 characters or allowing you to play the entire game for free with a rotating character = "cash grab"?

Or maybe... Remedy is simply making the game they want to make?

It looks like you have it backwards. They're not going for certain effects and having a bunch of stuff on screen (which is a result of gameplay) because they can't reach 1080p. They can easily sacrifice all that and obtain 1080p. They not chasing after a higher-res because would interfere with want to do with the effects and what can happen on screen.

Alan Wake had a lower resolution than...

So a game using 4x MSAA, ambient occlusion, and is also the only game this gen to use real time global illumination aside from Tomorrow's Children is "from a graphical powerhouse"?

Do you even know what the hell "resolution" is?

Since when did "resolution" = "graphics"?

"However, the good devs will atleast still be in the Sony family. So we will see what happens. It's not like they are cutting people loose like Microsoft."

How are you sure of what either Sony or MS are doing?

As someone quoted earlier, this is was what both of them said in their press releases:

Sony press release: "Where possible we will try to reallocate people onto other projects. If appropriate opportunities are not pos...

"They can re-sell the license if they want. As long as you give them permission to do so, they can re-activate it with the publisher and sell it again at full price. It's just a code."

How on Earth would there be any difference between selling a "used" digital game as opposed to selling a "new" one?

MS and the publisher have infinite licenses.

Gamestop's business deals with physical media.

Physical objects actually have residual value.

Gamestop profits from buying your physical disc for cheap, marking up the price, and then reselling it to someone else for much more than they paid you for it (though still cheaper than new).

You can't "resell" a digital game.

It's easily replicable code with no physical tangibility atta...

"Well-written"?

Didn't people (rightfully) trash and make fun of Crapgamer and the others who blew up Phil Spencer's twitter when Quantum Break was announced for Windows 10 for making the same arguments this author is making?

Now you're agreeing with them?

I don't get it.

People in this place go up and down about how Xbox, which actually has 3rd party support, is "dead" because its exclusives are coming not just to PC, but the Windows 10 store specifically.

But now, in an article about how Nintendo has the best exclusives, suddenly exclusives don't matter?

WHAT????

Actually, his job is to make profit off of gaming. To a platform holder, selling hardware is negligible if they're not making money from software, subscriptions and a cut from 3rd party licenses, or if they're taking a loss on each box sold.

That's why MS has been giving Windows 10 away for free instead of charging for it. They want people using their store.

Outside of Lionshead, Press Play, and Team Dakota, weren't these Hololens-only/Kinect developers?
