Gameondaily discusses the latest NPD figures suggesting that the PS4 has outsold the Xbox One in the USA by almost 2-to-1 and discusses whether the Xbox One can fight back.
It also GTA 5 DLC and whether its too late for GTA online.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.
Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…
Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.
Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game
The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.
I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls
Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games
I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
PS4 is starting to sell more in the US alone than Xone sells in the entire world.
MS needs to make live more like Plus or offer some other value proposition.
its too late for MS to do anything now damage has been done since E3.
It's only three months in, we all knew that PS4 was gonna take an early lead...to be honest I thought it would be worse. The $100 less price point is the main issue. However, all the early graphic jumpers have bought their console already, things will calm down, and when Titanfall and Halo release (mostly next Christmas) I think we will see a big jump in XB1 sales. I give it a year from launch till things start to even out. Contrary to what many WANT to believe, MS didn't become so successful because they are stupid. They will use their pockets and ideas to make XB1 appeal to more people, they've already started by doing it the right way and investing in AAA exclusive after AAA exclusive...it'll probably work out much the same way as last gen in the end. Either way, acting like MS is in trouble is disingenuous. Just because PS4 is doing really well, doesn't mean that XB1 isn't either, they are BOTH doing much better than last gen at this point.
Sony learned from it's mistakes, but it appears that Microsoft hasn't and that's why they're getting trounced on their home turf.
I think Xbox One can recover but they will have to move quickly and they will have to take some drastic measures before things get too out of hand. By the end of March and the Japan launch, PS4 will possibly have sold twice as many Xbox One's Globally which puts XOne at a huge disadvantage with 3rd parties which is their bread and butter. They need to remove the Kinect and drop the price before the gap gets too wide. I know it's still early in the consoles life, and could be embarrassing for Microsoft, but if they wait too long the gap will only keep growing larger eventually beyond repair.
