Much has been made of the graphical capabilities of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, especially when compared to PCs. It has been generally accepted that there is still a gap between what the next generation of gaming consoles can do, and what PCs are currently capable.
The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.
well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3
Not even this Prey
Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy
The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.
Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got
Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.
Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.
Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.
Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.
Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.
Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.
There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life
No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.
I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’
Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.
No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
Release the PC gamers and their hardware specification discussions!
misleading tittle as always...
Enlighten Creator: "GPUs in the new consoles are not as powerful as the most expensive desktop GPUs, but that was also the case at the last transition. It is something of a myth that consoles at launch are usually ahead of the top-end PCs."
"What the consoles always are at launch is the best power per dollar ratio, but if you want more power you have always had the option of going for a really expensive PC."
And this is exactly what PC gamers have been waiting for. Consoles, especially early in the life cycle are the standard platforms for game development. They are the base platforms - the lowest common denominator. When the base platform is hardware from nearly a decade ago, that stymies progress and innovation. Finally, those base platforms will move into the modern age with the Xbox One and PS4, and innovation and progress will begin to happen again.
really cant wait to see what the devs can do now and see what we get years from now not just year 1 but who will push not just graphics but game play and innovations in ai and new ways to play multiplayer and co op
I am wondering what more can be done that Devs havnt been able to do on PC? At this point we will be seeing higher textures, higher resolution, more AA and AS, and more detail across the board.... My question is how is this any different than what PC is doing already? If all we are seeing is better textures and a resolution bump is that enough to drive next gen?
I am really hoping they make more interesting games rather than just moving the graphic settings from medium to high.I love good graphics as much as the next person.. I am just worried we are just going to see more third person, first person, and open world shooters from this point forward since the hardware is better..
