With consumers sticking with what they know, here's some reasons why many will stay with either Sony or Microsoft when new consoles arrive in the near future.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I have no loyalty to any one company. I have a 360, PS3, and gaming PC. IF I did have to choose just one (not counting PC of course) though it would be Sony.
Loyal smoyal - I'll go where the best games and experiences are, and as with this gen, that proves to be multi-console focused. I can't do without my Uncharted's or my Gears of War's, and with the likes of The Last of Us and The Last Guardian on the horizon on PS3 these are gaming occassions I dare not miss.
As for Xbox, MS started strong on the exclusive front, and they'll no doubt need to do the same again with new IPs and sequels to established 'exclusives' going into next-gen, and not be so focused specifically on Kinect.
Backwards compatibility for software isn't really as important as people make out, I don't buy a new console to play old games, if I have the games, I'll likely have the console... now, on the flip side, hardware cross compatibility is more important. I want to be able to use my current controllers with the new console, especially since I can't imagine Sony and Microsoft will change too much on the controllers next gen.
For me its the launch games which affect my decision. If ps4 had Metal gear solid 5 at launch then im sold. However if it's a year or more away, I can wait.
Loyalty has nothing to do with it. Microsoft has nothing to offer me.
