Joel Taveras writes, "Back at the beginning of the year, I knew that new hardware was just on the horizon. What I didn't know was that this Fall I'd be writing about a bullish Sony leading the charge into next gen. Riding a hype train so glorious that it shows few signs of slowing down. I'm talking about the kind of hype that public relations folks and corporate execs live for. Yet here we are, less than a month away from the next generation of consoles kicking off and Sony's PlayStation 4 is seemingly in the driver's seat.
The public relations gods haven't been as kind to Microsoft's Xbox One as the console has been experiencing well... somewhat of the complete opposite, and it's been that way mostly since it's unveiling back in May. And just now, as the console enters the home stretch, and following a handful of policy reversals, the Xbox One is just starting to "get the facts" straight for would be buyers.
While some may argue that the Xbox One is full of hot air, even I was...
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Microsoft has announced the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will be discontinued in April and has confirmed that weekly streaks will also be coming to an end.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
I got mine preordered. I hope everyone enjoys their console of choice.
Me too enjoy all.
You know whos going to be surprised, all the folks who jumped from XB360 to PS4, its going to be a huge culture shock when they turn on the PS4 and have to wait 20 minutes for the 300MB update, an update that would take 50 seconds on the 360. I think folks will be surprised when they see how the Playstation just stagnates, the dash at launch will be the same dash in 6 years. The PSN in general will take getting used to, its just not refined as XBL, and folks will notice this.
I'm getting mine this year no doubt.
Looking forward to Halo 5.... Cause if 343 Studios cause make Halo 4 look that amazing on the 360..... I can just imagine how great Halo 5 will be.
But I gotta admit.... One thing has me a little worried...
These multiplat games being released.... If the Xbox1 can't run at the same resolution and fps as the PS4.... Then, I'm going to be really pissed.
Being honest, the Xbox One has already surprised me on more times than I care to count.. sadly for Microsoft, these aren't good surprises.
