I believe Microsoft is stealthily pushing forward to the next gen with Scorpio. Colin was right when he said that Scorpio is an admission from Microsoft that they lost with the Xbox One. "Beyond generations" and "no gamer left behind" is just spin from MS so they don't further deflate Xbox One sales until Scorpio is released and piss off current Xbox One customers.
You may not care for IGN, but nevertheless the job consists of researching PS and reaching out to insider contacts all day. That counts for a lot even if you don't like the resulting output.
I think his point was that there is still a lot more developers can do with just the original PS4. Amazing games like The Last of Us and GTA 5 were coming out at the end of last gen. So when Sony says we've pretty much maxed out what we can do with 1080p on the PS4, I don't really believe them.
Gaf doesn't like sonic wrong place.
MS is already retracting and clarifying its messages from E3. They did a stealth clarification on Play Anywhere by saying only the games from E3 would be part of the program when many were led to believe otherwise. Also, they recently said VR games would be exclusive to Scorpio by giving the rationale that VR games are not console games. That's to justify their promise of no Scorpio exclusives. It makes sense that VR games are exclusive, but MS needs to be more upfront about its plans so people don't feel deceived. There will be bad PR for MS when the first Scorpio exclusive is released or when Xbox One support is dropped altogether.
Good point. But there are more innovations to be had besides graphical power on current consoles (e.g. Better stories, better gameplay mechanics, new IP, etc.).
Andrew House did say that they have maxed out what can be done with
Exactly. Sony doesn't care if you buy slim or pro this holiday season as long as you buy one of those. In fact slim might have higher profit margin. Pro is there to gauge the appetite for iterative consoles in the market. They very deliberately kept the whole thing low key. Hell, they didn't even announce the meeting to the general public until the day before the meeting.
I'm thinking from the perspective of will the PS4 pro add or subtract from Sony's bottom line. How much will the Pro help Sony to sell an additional 20 million PS4 consoles by 2018? My argument is that most people will not see the need to get a Pro and that the console will flop because 4K is the selling point. Sony only briefly mentioned the benefits for those with 1080p TVs and most were hoping that they would get all games released with 1080p 60 FPS. That was not guaranteed and they said that multiplayer games would remain at 30 FPS. Most people that don't plan on getting a 4K TV anytime soon did not see a reason to get a Pro.
Im not getting a 4k tv I'm getting the pro just for the sake it's a better ps4 at an affordable price. The meeting wasn't mainly for original ps4 owners to upgrade it was also for others who don't have one to be able to jump in with either the cheaper slim or the more powerful pro which is at the same msrp as the og ps4. Of course the main benefit is 4k it's the same case for Scorpio but that doesn't means others won't see a value in it
It'll be interesting to see PS4 Pro and PS4 slim sales figures compared a year from now. My bet is most will prefer the PS4 slim and will use that extra $100 to buy an extra controller or game. We'll see.
Well if you're going off recognition alone then congrats u win. Thing is, most MM games are pretty much timeless treasures whilst Sonic has had so many trash games in comparison. Oh and the Sonic internet community is pretty much cringeworthy repulsive non-recyclable garbage
