right. sure. like every time inferior PS3 multiplatform titles weren't shown to the press until launch. those were all just marketing deals.

No concern. Just another day we know the PS4 is more powerful.

I think it's pretty obvious. Xbox One version is so superior they can't even show it before the release date.

PS4 it is..I think. welcome me
Lol, you act like the 5% of people drinking the kool aid is keeping the truth from coming out. Most of GAF has been calling for answers on this for months!
For multiplats you should have been on the Sony train.

No... PS4 will be the PS2 of this generation. Just add some extra power to it.
Damn they are going to put everything behind a paywall and stop the majority of 1st party development after 5 years??

My first inclination is to believe that this may be a marketing dollar thing, but this is becoming a trend and I know Sony doesn't have nearly as much money to advertise/moneyhat as MS has.

I was going to say 4.
Things like 2K14 next gen trailer saying "Actual PlayStation 4 NBA2K14 Game Footage" and not "Actual Next Gen NBA2K14 Game Footage" make me think about a deal.
Yep, thats becoming more and more apparent at this point.

Man it's going to be quite the day when we finally see all the xbox versions of games, it will probably be until the embargo lifts on next gen games.
But 2K and Sony do have a marketing deal for this game( and for GTA and for WWE2K). I don't see why they'd bring the XB1 to this press event...

Exactly. It's not a marketing deal when most third party title showings have been absent on the Xbox One.
This completely reinforces my theory that the system is a entertainment device that plays games, not a game machine that does entertainment.
During public press events, yes. But this was a closed door press event with news filtering out via tweets. Showing off next gen games on all next gen systems should be happening at this point in venues like that.

If the X1 version is shown and the PS4 not, it's a marketing deal.
If the PS4 version is shown and the X1 version is not, there's big trouble brewing, the game isn't ready, the X1 console isn't ready, shit is getting ready to get real.

i've been begging for over 5 years.

We haven't had confirmed rumors that Sony is behind on development tools...
Why do you say that?
Exactly. And that's why I wonder if Xbox was the first console for many of these people making stupid comments. It's like the PS2 was completely and PS3 were completely ignored and the Xbox 360 was the best because of it's US/Europe popularity.

I'd be right there with you if it weren't for the fact that close to every single multi platform game has only been shown on PS4.
(Call of Duty, Need For Speed, NBA 2K14, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed)
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on.

It's not a marketing deal with sony. None of these PS4 show/ xbox one not shown situations have been deals with sony. I'm saying this with confidence.

Seems pretty clear cut.
- Less powerful hardware
- Potentially being rushed for launch in 2013
- Developers struggling to get games up and running
Looks like they'll be a slew of half baked launch titles on XBOX One. Best case scenario at this point is that we'll see closer parity in games launching next year when developers are more up to speed with the system.
You would be right if we didn't have the context of yesterday's/today's madness.
Well, you are right, i forget it's a press event.

And there we are!
What the heck is going on with the X1? This has to be the most train wreck lead up to a launch ever.
I really think that 180 on the DRM screwed them up. The software engineers were probably blindsided by such a big change so late in the game.

I don't believe Sony can outspend MS on marketing.
There you go.
Yep. Only have the PS4 preordered now.
Honestly, I had preordered the Xbox One fully expecting it to be weaker than the PS4. I was cool with that. But the general beating around the bush and giving non answers more annoying than anything else. If it's 720p, then fuck it just tell us. People are going to find out no matter what. Instead of just throwing out a bunch of PR buzz words, why not be straight with the people still interested in your damn system? Instead all the non answers make me even more weary that there's probably deeper problems with the system than being generally weaker.

It isn't a marketing deal.
