By Red Blaster Go To Postthe question is what's gonna happen when they hike the price (game pass is still technically in beta on pc) and what are the long-term effects of ms' first party lineup if everything is to be geared towards a subscription service and maximizing users.They have to substantially vary the kinds of games they make for it to have a real chance of any long term success. A large portion of what they did this generation was live service, multiplayer-centric games with heavy monetization. On top of that, they launched several of their big games broken or missing features. Forza 7 had the gall to have blind car boxes instead of normal progression. Halo 5 launched missing a bunch of features and modes and then asked people to buy blind card packs with real money to play Warzone. That's bad.
They need to ensure that the games they're releasing aren't messy and incomplete and then invest in single player experiences. I think they're doing the latter, at least? They're making a big budget Fable game, they have Obsidian working on a big next gen game. We'll see, I guess.
By Red Blaster Go To Post'ps5 having 1st party exclusives that aren't on ps4 is anti-consumer and sony is a conservative company' indicates game pass kool aid has reached critical masslmao
By /sy Go To Postthey're definitely bleeding money but that's like a drop in the bucket for MS.They have been bleeding money since 2002. They don't care.
By Kawhic Go To PostThey have been bleeding money since 2002. They don't care.360 era was pretty great for them.
is Ben Judd one of those guys ERA/twitter is gonna drive into suicide and then pretend they did nothing?
By /sy Go To Post360 era was pretty great for them.
Not really.
By Kawhic Go To PostNot really.RROD and Kinect all occurred in the 360's lifetime
By reilo Go To PostRROD and Kinect all occurred in the 360's lifetimeKinect was a success on the 360. It extended the life of it by a few years.
They definitely took a bath extending the console warranty and fixing all the red rings, though.
shouldn't have rushed it to the market then, dumbshits
at least they learned their lesson, but it took a long time for them to admit it was their fault and not consumers
y'know things break and all

By DY_nasty Go To PostI got no idea what Tarkov is supposed to be.looks like eurojank fps
They sold it at a loss and then spent a fortune fixing consoles and R&D. 360 was not profitable.
The whole XBox division is billions in the red over their entire existence.

It's a survival shooter. There are two opposing factions and AI controlled enemies that can also be taken over by human players. Open areas, simulation mechanics, etc.
You spawn randomly on the map, kill people, loot, build up your character, reach the extraction zone, win.

I feel like if some company straight up reskinned Tribes and put it on Steam it'd be bigger than Apex Legends

lmao find me the launch games that do anything unique with new hardware. the only valid point is about spending resources on xbox one versions. well i mean it would be valid if ms weren't so rich. digitalfoundry have become trash since they started talking about next gen
By Auto Simeone Go To Postif AMD Jaguar is "unusable" then how on Earth is Wolfenstein 2 and Witcher 3 running on a Switchdefine running

NBA2k14 had foot planting which changed the entire movement system. Absent in the PS360 versions.
RFoM had 40 player MP which wasn't possible on PS2
By /sy Go To PostNemesis system in SoM couldn't run on PS360 and those ports didn't have that mechanic.Isn't this all just evidence you can have the same game run different feature sets that scale depending on the hardware?

By diehard Go To PostIsn't this all just evidence you can have the same game run different feature sets that scale depending on the hardware?It's not even the same game at that point tho. Gameplay doesn't scale like graphics options. The nemesis system in SoM, is like the whole game. Those cross gen games were significantly better playing than the previous gen versions.

I got nieces and nephews with hand-me-down systems and would rather play a neutered version than none at all
By diehard Go To PostAs long as made clear to the consumer that's fineif they have hand me down systems they can play the thousands of games that have released for them at cheap af prices.

The SSD is also a gamechanger.
The fact that no fake leaks has even gotten close to getting it right, and has really underestimated how it works will be interesting when it's revealed.

but this is where exclusives have value, where the core of the game is built around new hardware features and essentially serve as tech demos. although i still have doubts if pcie4 storage will really bring about anything so significant.
Nah its not pcie4 for both consoles. Pcie3 probably :p.
The speed of the SSD itself is nothing remarkable, but how it transfers/compresses data on the ps5 is another matter.

I love this idea that a 70 year old dedicated hardware company is unable to innovate in a space they have dominated over a dedicated software company that's had almost every one of their hardware projects fail.
