XMNR: Much of the focus in the console war between the PS4 and Xbox One has been the perceived power advantage Sony's console has over Microsoft's. Following a published interview with Rev3Games Thursday, Microsoft Director of Product Planning Albert Penello explained why there's no way the company is willing to give the competition a huge performance advantage.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
"Penello then brought up similar instances where Sony and fans of the Playstation proclaimed superior performance with the PS2 and PS3 before concluding that, "in the end, games on our system looked the same or better."
Haha, four words: The Last of Us.
So glad im getting both, can't wait to see what the 1st party devs manage do with each of their respective consoles.
It more like 40% or even more.
PS4 :
1x Memory pool, no add. mambojumbo inside the box
Xbox :
2x Memory pools, 15 add. co-processors, 4 Move Engines, 1x High End Audio Chip (for multi stream), extra? gpgpu chip and what not...
PS4 more powerful, less complicated and cheaper.
Xbox less powerful, more complicated and 100$ more expensive.
it doesn't really matter for years down the line. No one knows how to push the limits of either system.
My money is on Sony. Hardware is about juggling what power and affordability. The kinect is pricey, think that is why they are using things like the older ram type and stuff.
ps4 is more powerful than the xbox one. fact.
