I dont know the autoaim and acceleration and all that seems baked into pc versions of everything now that it feels the same. I could turn that all off and channel my teenage counterstrike self, but eh. My pc is also hooked to my TV because I play everything from my big comfy couch on my big TV. I cant imagine hunching over a desk in 2018.

Microsoft is comfortable just having the Xbox be the multiplat console. Most gamers don't care that much about exclusives so much as just simply having the game. Also keep in mind, to most console gamers PC gaming, especially high end PC gaming, practically doesn't exist.

People are just too used to Nintendo murdering their consoles' online services once the new one comes out. Hell, the psp can still connect to psn and download crap. There's zero to worry about. Get PS4, play Bloodborne, and some other games too, I guess.

If ps5 is just a more powerful console that does nothing different it would just be great. They'll find a way to gently caress it up though. I'm personally worried about a kinect style VR push. I sincerely hope they just make a pro2 hardware upgrade. Call it ps5 and declare it's full backwards compatable!!!!!!! Fully in on incremental advances if you can solve the marketing problem of numbered consoles and what's to old to play what. But I feel with cellphones the dumb public understands sometimes poo poo gets old and doesn't run new stuff, works on iOSx.x or higher is not confusing anymore. If they did an incremental advance every 2 years I would upgrade, every other time probably.

I miss playing some games on PC because looking around is much better with a mouse but in combat I think I prefer the controller. More games could use a Quick Turn option but even PC games have those so it's not like the mouse is immune to those troubles. But yeah, pressing a joystick one way and continuously having my view/aim move in that direction is nicer than having to pick the mouse up and re-locate it to continue moving it in a certain direction.

I think Sony knows their market and they are heavily invested in producing traditional video games. I don't think VR is going away, and they might even offer a VR bundle with PS5, but I highly doubt it will be mandatory. PSVR is for early adopters/tech enthusiasts, but it hasn't dripped down to more mainstream because mobile VR is too niche. Apple kind of ruined the VR market by not offering any support. It is a huge segment of potential users who are being ignored because face emojis.

Rumor is Apple is working on their own VR stuff, which is probably why they aren't bothering to partner with or support anything that's out right now.

PS5 might be cool. Maybe I'd get to have Elite Dangerous VR because drat Sony don't want no PS4 Pro exclusive features like that over base version users.

I'm personally worried about a kinect style VR push. Incremental upgrades will likely be easier to do now because, as I said, more power under the hood locks out fewer and fewer types of games these days. The issue will be how Sony will convince users with older PS4s to upgrade to a newer PS4 with fewer killer apps that grab the hardware by the horns. Similar to what's happened to PC gaming.

It's unbelievable how far Halo has fallen in popularity from its glory days. I feel that only Street Fighter rivals it in terms of a series going from cultural phenomenon to run of the mill release.

As someone that went from a SNES on 1996 to a Xbox 360 on late 2007, to a PS4 on 2016, I think Microsoft hosed up to not recover at all even on next generation. I went from thinking "I'd get a Xbone S for cheap for backwards compatibility as I own great games on my 360" to "I rather get a PS4 Pro and still keep my slim" because just with the exclusives, the PS4 has at least 3-4 years of life for me. I loved the 360 even with all its faults but it had actual working games like Gears of War and Forza (Halo never did for me), the interface was decent and Xbox Live was good enough. I was for months deciding between the Xbone and PS4 and I'm glad that Bloodborne was the deciding factor because otherwise I'd just be sitting, not enjoying great games like BB, Yakuza, TLoU and, while not being a fanboy, Uncharted games. I'm a weirdo that still likes Xbox One interface over PS4 better, and the gamepad over DS4 but I have to admit that the DS4 is a great controller (cept these drat small options/share buttons) and miles ahead over the DS3, which sometimes use in a friend's to play my digital copy of Demon's Souls (basically got it for sporadic play and give him the chance to play it).

It's amazing how someone saying 'the ps4 is nearing the final phase of it's life cycle' - meaning it is begining to enter it's last act, a block of time which could last until 2-3 years from now, can be interpreted as 'The ps4 is at the end of it's life' I've seen a few poeople on facebook saying they have decided to not buy one after all and are going to wait until the next one. It's really surreal watching people respond that way to a statement which very clearly does not at all suggest what they are taking away from it.

The bone was that weird games as service always online crap, the ps3 was "599 us dollars" The PS3 had more than that: -Bizarro architecture that took devs a long time to become comfortable with -Weird unnecessary promises that didn't pan out like an SD card reader or dual HDMI outputs -Lack of controller rumble, which they hilariously tried to pass off as "incompatibility with motion sensing" and not microsoft lawsuit jiu jitsu -Ill will from their suspect promotional material, especially the Killzone 2 trailer -And yeah five hundred and ninety nine us dollars The Xbox One was sunk by: -Online game DRM -Focusing on TV services no one cared about, to the exclusion of games -Making Kinect mandatory when not only did the tech have a bad reputation but awareness and fear of pervasive surveillance was rising -A significant horsepower deficit compared to the PS4 The PS5 could screw up by: -Going all-digital before the market is ready -Hitching their wagon to some weird nonstandard tech thing (Sony has a pretty bad track record here) -Making their plan for a phone-style upgrade treadmill a little too obvious As for Apple, they never show their hand early, but their last VR demo was an embarrassment so a real product is probably a ways off.

Neddy Seagoon posted:If anything, I'd say we're about halfway or 2/3rds into the PS4's lifespan. Even if you revealed the PS5 tomorrow and declared the PS4 outdated, you'd still be looking a solid two years of PS4 titles (not counting multi-platform releases) because games don't just spring into existence six months before release. I still think there's another 4 years of PS4 left at the shortest. At most, my hopes go to six years. And that's just me making guesses on PS5/PSNeo/PSUltra Instinct/PSRetribution with no gaming development knowledge beyond who makes what games. And that's shoddy too.

Yes, the reason why Nadine doesn't like the Drakes is she was battling against them in Uncharted 4 and- as protagonists- they gunmurderpunched their way through like 85% of the people in her PMC. So now you get the context of why they talk about them in the optional convos.

When sony hosed up from 07-09 they fixed their poo poo and pumped out amazing games from 10-13 and after an early gen dry spell from 16-present. Xbox basically gave up making and paying for interesting games in 10-11. Their studio talent situation is incredibly dire. Their market cap outside NA is vanishingly small. As long as future playstations debut at 399 xbox will never realistically be able to compete

And it permanently depressed their console sales?
