Microsoft's Always-Online Debacle Is Playing into the PS4's Hands

Push Square: "No publicity is bad publicity, or so the old adage goes – but Microsoft executives must find themselves staring into a window of brutal GIFs wondering what to do next. The press surrounding the company’s next generation platform has not been rosy for some time, but things escalated overnight when Adam Orth, the creative director on an as of yet unannounced Xbox title, mistakenly opted to use the public forum of Twitter to channel his opinion about the latest round of rumours regarding his employer’s impending console revision."

I'd say that's true at this moment in time.

I was thinking this would be more fitting.

Yea but ps4 should be in the market now to really help.

Or its just talks on the internet.

Cocozero4031d ago

How? By taking all the attention away from the PS4?

Oh yes. Because having an "always on" console is a good thing right? Seriously, even though there's more Xbox articles for the time being, it doesn't mean it's in their favor. Xbox publicity is good, but not this kind of publicity. This makes them infamous. So by your way of thinking, being in the headlines is good no matter what right? Until we get something good comfirmed by Microsoft, the Xbox 720 is the lindsay lohan of video games.

Reverent4031d ago

It's really starting to worry me. I mean, I wasn't necessarily planning on getting the next Xbox myself, but even as a pro Sony guy, I want everyone, even the competition, to have the best possible experience when it comes to gaming. Gamers deserve that much.

unchartedxplorer4031d ago

Until microsoft denies or confirms this people are just going to get less and less hyped about the next xbox.

darthv724031d ago

more and more vocal/interested in what is really going on.

you can't buy this kind of publicity.

ps3_pwns4031d ago

you dont want this kind of publicity. i just told my friends the next xbox rumor and leaks and they said they are not going to get it now. even if mS says that it was not true the damage is already done. MS had plenty of time to say something but its to late now people will just forever think that the x720 will always need online. now everyone getting excited for the ps4 and in console discussions some guy would be like what about the new xbox and my friends would say eww u have to be always onliine to play that and its gonna suck compared to the ps4 and we praise the ps4 the whole time from then on lol. i like the way you tried to spin it though

Jaqen_Hghar4031d ago

this TERRIBLE publicity. Their whole conference is going to be denying rumors lol

What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.

A rumored game at a rumored show.. we’ve seen it all

TiredGamer7h ago

Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).

Zeke689h ago

Thanks for the spoilers... :(

RonnySins9h ago

Another day, another remake. Ugh!

SonyStyled8h ago

If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.

Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time

TiredGamer8h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.

Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.

The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.

Bring on more quality classic remakes!

DarXyde30m ago

I can see your frustration and mostly agree, but modern remakes of games lost eras ago are fine if you ask me.

I don't know how old you are, but I was a kid when the first Medievil came out. It's really for a new generation of gamers more than anything and the industry is at a point now where there is an insane number of current gamers who missed out on those classics.

If we're talking about remakes of The Last of Us or remasters of GTAV, I'm in agreement. Otherwise, the choice to remake games like Final Fantasy VII, Medievil, Parappa, etc. are fair to me. Even PS2 era games being remade would be welcome to me. Often, the tech updates make it worth it.

Knightofelemia9h ago

Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.

Omegasyde8h ago

My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).

I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder

InUrFoxHole3h ago

SOCOM! SOCOM! SOCOM!
But please not like Socom 4
