and water is wet. nothing new that nintendo is japans baby and xbox has never done well in japan. next thing you know, they'll tell us super mario odyssey sold more on switch than ps4.... /s
Why should multiplayer only cost $30? That doesn’t make development cheaper. If you knew anything about development you d know that the most expensive part of the game is designing and developing. Just eliminating parts of a game doesn’t change the fact that it’s still cost. It would be like making a cake but then just charging less for the top layer and throwing the rest of the cake away.
If they raised the price to $80 all in and gave you everything, I’d accept that. Absolutely no MTs and exclusive pay content tho.
My whole point about exclusives in general. Major exclusives drop far far less than multiplatform games and I personally don’t care about all the niche in betweens (Xbox also has its own weird lesser known too). I’m literally not playing any PS4 exclusives as I finished the 2 I wanted this year so it’s mostly multiplatform for me on the regular. Not a message, just a fact. If I only put played exclusive games, my consoles would only become played about 3 months out of the year most likely....
It’s s mid cycle console refresh, not a new,next gen console. It’s only function is to be more powerful. Just like the PS4 pro, not usher in a secret stash of next gen games
Checkerboard 4k is still hard to hit so if the graphical load of a game like this is too high, even checkerboarding isn’t an option (hence the dynamic scaling in place of)
And it’s being sold at a loss. The hardware is literally better than the price on offer. Just shows you how unrealistic people are. I love how peopl kept asking “how is one x 4k $100 better than PS4 pro 4k?!” Well, stuff like this explain how. And it’s not just the resolution and effects. It runs faster too. I have both consoles and have played them back to back.
VR needs at least 90 fps to eliminate enough input lag to not make your brain upset. Best practices dictate that 120 fps is ideal. 30 fps is a disaster in vr as the lag and judder will make even th strongest people sick (and did w/ DriveClub vr) for that reason. 60 is better but people will still have problems.
vr tech isn’t there yet for consoles and even pc vr while being the best could be better still. Psvr only proves that with mostly small experiences, pared back grap...
Well... the base PS4 and base Xbox One are both pretty weak when compared to their respective refreshes and pc The this point. A bit less so st launch but I’ve always held th suspicion that the mid cycle updates were corrections rather than refreshes. Neither base console was equipped to handle display tech like hdr and 4k, vr was already coming. even PCs were getting there at the time. At the very least they could have been more forward thinking back then as console lifespans are fairly lon...
im pretty confident my ps4 pro will be in hibernation until TLOU2 honestly. Unless Detroit ends up being amazing (im on the fence). Everything else im playing now is available on the X and because of the performance, its realistically where I'm going to continue playing. If a ps4 exclusive hits that reviews well and I'm interested in, i'll have the pro ready for it.
realistically, MTs aren't going anywhere. Games can cost more to make than feature films now, and they need to not only recoup their costs but turn a profit on top of it. In the case of large studios thats more for the shareholders who invest money in the first place to make things happen and want a return in return (heh).
I think the pain point is tipping the scale toward pay to win. In the case of BF2, EA seems more eager to speed up earnings for recoup than players e...
so... the moral is, youre damned if you do, damned if you don't. listen guys. if them making the right move to correct a wrong doesn't fix anything then maybe the people outraged are disingenuous too. the problem with that is they won't have any reason to fix future wrongs if none of it matters. its a two way street.
i'm not saying ea was amazing for changing this. they should have had a more realistic and honest plan from the beginning but if the out...
My whole point of view. My PS4 pro hasn’t even been turned on since my x showed up and the power of the x has already been a factor on which platform to buy 2 new games (pcars2 and ac origins). Both run superior on the X and since I had both platforms available to me, the definitive versions win.
Speak for yourself. I bought one, it runs my favorite games phenomenally and all games just better in general, looks better and runs 3rd party better than the PS4 pro and I have not one but 2 4k hdr tvs so it is perfect for my wife and i. If $500 is too much money for you then you aren’t in the “premium” demographic, so it’s safe to assume you don’t have a 4k setup either so it’s clearly not marketed or for you. The rest of are ok with it as we will pay more for better.
I think if you’re going to do a gen 8.5 in general you should probably have A 4k tv. It makes seeing what you are paying for more present. In the case of the Pro specifically the upgrades are a bit more marginal and not as apparent on a 1080p tv, plus boost mode is unreliable for consistent performance gains on nonenhanced games (unlike the one x that doesn’t need boost mode to crank up nonpatched games) so that wouldn’t be a good reason to purchase.
The hype is real on the one x and the 360 was extremely successful. The xb1 has made a complete 180 and not everyone is gonna hold that against me for forever. The x is proving that.
Even when I went to e3 this year, I mentioned the buzz on X was very much also real but n4g fanboys just disagree away cuz they only fixate on their opinions while the rest of the world moves on.
Developers love more powerful software cuz it allows their products to look be...
Some cheese with that whine? Just cuz you can’t afford something the rest of us shouldn’t enjoy it? Ferrari didn’t revolutionize cars, but they sure make driving more enjoyable if you can afford one. The X is that for console games.
Nice one! I’ll show support of that by actually buying the game now if true.
Dope. Mario Oddyssey is a no brainer. nice one nintendo.
thats actually not true. it does well in the US and the Uk and general but it does in fact sell pretty well all around with the exception of japan. The ps4 has obviously sold more, but compared to last gen 360 sales, the xb1 is doing fine.
