I dont get how 500 people working on halo, and no one thought to say, are we sure we should show this.....

I guess on Halo they HAD to show it. The backlash against it not being there would have been huge... but then it was anyway. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. 343 are clearly shit, so maybe that clusterfuck wasnt avoidable, but naming your consoles in a way guaranteed to cause confusion, and having your new console not be able to run games better than your old console, were both very, very avoidable.

Could we see a Superman game in 2021 🤔

Or is it a case of Bollocks awaits...

Just came across this while browsing YouTube; to think how close we came to be fucked in the ass by the “anti-consumer“ practices of MS & Xbox at the start of last gen !
*Shudders* 😳😳

ALWAYS ONLINE/NO DISC SHARING OR RESELLING

We should all solemnly swear to “NEVER AGAIN” allow this kind of bs by any company in the future. 😑

Not sure who Penello is or what you're talking about. Your beef isn't with me even if you direct it at me, I guess we're just one big amorphous blob so you can throw your gripes at any of us, right? What's lame is how you're behaving over a joke.
Penello is a known liar and FUD spreader, used to work for MS, now works for... I don't know, someone else lol. Caught spreading his bull on this very forum.

People DO understand that Microsoft has some of the smartest graphics programmers IN THE WORLD. We CREATED DirectX, the standard APIs that everyone programs against. So while people laude Sony for their HW skills, do you really think we dont know how to build a system optimized for maximizing graphics for programmers? Seriously? There is no way were giving up a 30%+ advantage to Sony. And ANYONE who has seen both systems running could say there are great looking games on both systems. If there was really huge performance difference it would be obvious.

I get a ton of hate for saying this but its been the same EVERY generation. Sony claims more power, they did it with Cell, they did it with Emotion Engine, and they are doing it again. And, in the end, games on our system looked the same or better.

Im not saying they havent built a good system Im merely saying that anyone who wants to die on their sword over this 30%+ power advantage are going to be fighting an uphill battle over the next 10 years

Sony does.

And I mean game pass is good. It's a service that I see no value from personally. Plenty of people want to play older games. No issue with that. Issue is that I'm what they don't want... Someone that doesn't ever play old games. So I and others like me have no value to them because it's going to have to take some extensive mental bios upgrade for them to accept a lot of people just prefer the newer shinier 'in' thing and not something from years ago.

But GamePass does not only have old games tho. Granted it is mostly (going to be) first party games, Indies and others they managed to get a deal with but fact remains that theoretically it's not meant for old games.

PS Now on the other hand is.

Tho I just realised it's kinda funny that as a PlayStation fan I don't have a PS Now sub but do have a GamePass PC sub! Then again that is easily explained by wanting to play some of the Xbox exclusives that I couldn't (old pc was not capable) before and because I might want to play some of the future exclusives while on PS4 I just buy the games I want when they release...

Nice Ad Hominem :lollipop_anxious_sweat:
Pretty clear you don't like the message.

nope I am not upset, I am adult that is not getting upset by stuff online, it is just funny how any stupid tweet from Greenberg or Xbox marketing is getting slammed in here, and apparently, Sony camp is not doing any cringe and it is okay for guy that is game dev post something that is simply stupid (in context of him working in game industry and not being able to comprehend something that it is not that complex)

Even Bloomberg is just guessing based on publicly known bulk prices ( most of the time higher than actual in the world of bulk sales and large scale projects). This really depends on how much Sony is expected to sell and how that can influence the negotiations.

Also the price of the console is not based on the cost of the first year units but rather on the cost forcast in the longer term and how much is the profit forecast in that same time frame.

Also if sony sees high demand on their console then they may not worry much about launch year price😂 they can keep it as high as they can and reduce it in a 2nd year. PS3 was able to sell 88 million despite a first year of 599. The market is much bigger now and Phil Spencer's Xbox is not Peter Moore' s Xbox.

But I doubt that Golem put the effort into trying to get a guesstimate of the consoles himself and as far as I know he has some game dev contacts but I do not believe any game dev is being told such a piece of information. Of course a game dev could have made a guesstimate as well but that's still a guesstimate and he seems to bring it as a fact...

Even Major Nelson doesn't get the Xbox marketing, though, and he works for them.

I believe we will see God Of War 2 as a "one more thing" big announcement, there seems to have been a lot of rumblings about that recently.

I would love for them to pull-out TLOU2 Factions MP, SOCOM Reboot or Silent Hill Reboot, just to put those rumors to bed. I hate when things drag-on and are hinted-at for YEARS, like the Demon's Souls Remake was, or changing PSN ID's was.

It really depends on if we're getting seperate videos/blog posts for console teardown, and UI features like Create Button, but if they're not doing a deep dive article, then I'd want to at least see the UI and a quick blurb about it. Sometimes you can infer intent just from seeing, rather than having some suit talk at you, so I wouldn't mind if they literally jumped in and out of games or trailers on the Media Player app, to show us things like load times, if there's any PS1/2/3 games sat on the dashboard etc.

Why is this big news? Can someone explain please? XSS is not a 4k console why would you want to play 4k games on it. Am i missing something here?
The console got too well received, so insecurity is getting the best of people

Why? Senior Devs from several developers have stressed the Series S will impact development, I take their word over a fake dev that has 0 games under his belt.
One of them who didn't have the hardware, and the other who will release games on PC with lower specs than the XSS.

These guys are teasing you two in here? Let me straighten'em up





Well... I think these stones... they are like tombstones.

Now , don't you guys be trolling so much. Be good boys. Ponder at what tomorrow brings

Didn't you said that you ONLY REPLYING WHEN YOU'RE QUOTED?

hey, don't blame me for it. I am only REPLYING WHEN QUOTED about this, and as you can see above I keep it to a minimum

edit: oh and I reply only to those that I don't have on ignore list, so that makes my responses waaaayy less than they could have been.

So, MasterCornholio MasterCornholio didn't quoted you. You quoted him and started with Machine Learning crap.

LOL. Every todays modern GPU has a machine learning. PS4 Pro has it for checkerboard resolution for example, why the fuck PS5 wouldn't have it??? Sony recently patented tech similar to Nvidias DLSS Recontstruction Tehcnology to create multiple images using machine learning for PS5.


Except, he corrected himself and literally said it will be RDNA 2 plus more features. you are the one that is going against him and claiming he only did that to make people happy.

Precisely that.

I just remembered

I'm not saying Gavin is right, but like I said. Feel free to refute his comments, instead of questioning his character.

Again, his comments have been refuted by devs that have showed actual work in some of the biggest companies and working with some of the best game engines. Why should I even bother to refute a "dev" that has so far released no games? Do you understand how asinine that is?

Also, to your bullshit argument that Devs X / Y develop games for lower spec'd hardware on PC, that is proof that that lower spec'd hardware is the baseline. So for a game developed for the"next-gen" Xbox consoles, or just 'next-gen' consoles in general, your baseline will be the Series S, which can't even play One X enhanced games. That's all, a toddler could understand this: The lower your hardware target is, the less scope your game can have as more compromises need to be made.

Maybe because MS markets BC as major part of their next gen systems

So it's not too far fetched to assume that next gen console can run current gen games, and one x is current gen console.

Xses isnt marketed as 4k system, but it's kind of weird that it cant run older gen games at 4k in the eyes if non-tech people.

Like if current gen console at 299-399€ can run these games, why 309,99€ next gen system cant, asks consumers.

Imagine the poor parent buys that fortnite version then to know that his kid can't play it because he needs to pay $10/month, $120/year GOLD to play free2play game. :lollipop_crying:

Weird how xbox gold is x2 more expensive than ps+, which is usually 35-45€/year sale multiple times/year and even full price is 59-69€

Sure single tweet is completely refuting everything he says... While at the same time, we've also got a dev from Wastelands that says it's not that big of a deal, just a bit more work.

Also it's not a bullshit argument. Issue is that why would you complain about the XSS when there are worse PC's out there? Oh no the specs of the XSS are not to my liking, but I'll also develop for shittier systems. When you develop for Xbox, in 90% of the cases you are also developing for PC. So if you are accepting those shitty PC's that you want to support, then why are you complaining about the XSS?

You're acting like the XSS will hold back this gen, but that's plain ridiculous. The only way it would hold back next-gen is if developers are going for 1440p on PS5/XSX. That's not what Microsoft is expecting, they expect native 4K. If that's what most devs will push for, there won't be an issue on the XSS.
