Is the Playstation 4 Actually Better for First-Person Shooters?

Jo from GamersFTW writes: "Why are people deciding to move from their Xbox One to the PS4? A lot of it comes down to the fact that it is simply the better console, the recent shipping figures show that, and gamers are after a console that can offer them the best. Also, the diverse range of titles available for the PS4 means that gamers can play such a wide variety of genres and games along with all the big launches."

I don't think it's any better really, but the sales figures certainly show that it's a more popular console. And the Dualshock 4 is much improved over the DS3 so most players feel comfortable using it.

3-4-53115d ago

DS4 is finally a decent FPS controller for Sony. All the past were too floaty, so it makes sense that people are comfortable enough to play FPS games on PS4 now.

I still think the XB1 controller is more comfortable and better for FPS, but that is just my opinion.

TheCommentator3115d ago

Agreed. While I think staggered sticks feel better and the XB1 triggers feel more like a real gun, especially when the impulse triggers are enabled, the truth is that the debate is about preference and nothing more.

FlexLuger3116d ago (Edited 3116d ago )

Nope.

Where to start with this...

"A lot of it comes down to the fact that it is simply the better console, the recent shipping figures show that"

Riiiight...So I guess I should ditch my music collection for current chart music..cuz you know...sales show that it sells better and therefore must be better.

I love how the argument of Sales = quality suddenly applies this gen...I couldnt make that one stick when discussing a game like halo 3 s success last gen,for all the millions it sold...but here we are...

Also, the diverse range of titles available for the PS4 means that gamers can play such a wide variety of genres and games along with all the big launches.

"And gamers are after a console that can offer them the best. Also, the diverse range of titles available"

Cool...what does that have to do with being the best console to play FPS on?

But the writer then goes and shows her ass...

"I also think that the Playstation exclusive games are often a far better than that those of their rival"

Of course she isnt biased while writing any of this...even though she just stated she preferred playstation...thats fine..I prefer xbox...If I go write a stupid article about it with zero links t support anything I say, can I be a games journo too, then?

But hey opinion means nothing..quality is decided by sales. Maybe I was wrong about candy crush then, *proceeds to google play*

"I hope that due to their success in the shooter market, Sony don’t leave behind all their other great titles which have made it a fan favourite over the years."

Lol...no comment..

Ricegum3116d ago

Lol. I knew this FlexLuger Microsoft dude was going to be all over this article as soon as I saw it.

But yeah, PS4 is best for me for my FPS games simply because I prefer the Dualshock 4 to the Xbox controller.

Flattering...I never give any of you guys enough attention to remember you. That hard to make your comment in your own box? You need me to see it eh? lol... You got one more bubble, then you can back yourself up with your multiple accounts in the replies. I said my piece. im out.

Wow

@Unreal- you asked for it there lol. But what on earthw as the point of your comment. He is spot on and actually broke down why this article is flawed in its logic.

Ron_Danger3115d ago

@flex

"But the writer then goes and shows her ass... "

Take it easy Andrew Dice Clay. You don't have to agree with the author, but just strait disrespecting her like that shows how immature you are considering the topic involves preference over a plastic box.

Ron_Danger3115d ago

@ the disagrees

How cowardly do you guys have to be when I call out a guy for being disrespectful towards women and you don't even reply with a reason?

Show a little class guys. This isn't a youtube comment section.

TheCommentator3115d ago

Like she showed class with her trashy, click-bait article? All I'm gonna say is that whatever she was shaking, it wasn't pretty... or smart.

LeCreuset3115d ago

You should appreciate the difference between objective news reporting and editorializing.

Gazondaily3116d ago

Nope. I prefer the default controller on the X1 anyway over the DS4 for fps' but now with the Elite, there's no question.

"Why are people deciding to move from their Xbox One to the PS4? "

Its just a general migration rather than shooter-specific fans moving to PS4.

vallencer3115d ago

I went back to playing halo with a regular controller after hours of using the elite and I can't do it. I was missing the paddles. I forgot which button does what because I use the paddles haha. I don't think I can ever go back in all honesty.

Spid3r63115d ago

Elite controller is just a beast....Use it to play elite dangerous and have 18 buttons at my disposal.

timlot3116d ago (Edited 3116d ago )

When the question has to be asked that already shows there's doubt. Xbox will always be associated with fps. No articles have to be written trying to convince people or PR from company executives claiming to be the new box for shooters.

Liqu1d3116d ago

Neither console is better for FPS games.

Aspyr if we sell hotcakes get that code from radical or something and create battlefield 3 please

Becuzisaid83d ago

I thought that was kind of obvious they were incorporating mods to piece this game together. Maybe not, but that's made me worried about one thing:

They also planned on adding the modded ending to KOTOR 2 but were legally blocked from doing so, even after they advertised that to help sell preorders for the game on Switch. Could the same happen with this? Any opponents have 3 weeks to bring down the hammer.

Wish these games would just get remakes.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter355d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell354d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig354d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast354d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g354d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka354d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it
