During their New York event, Sony finally gave their users a glimpse of their newly upgraded gaming console, the PlayStation 4 Pro. Unfortunately for Sony, the console seemed to be greeted with more 'eh's and 'meh's then 'ooh's and 'awe's.
Xbox is making waves on PlayStation.
Sony has launched a BAFTA Game Awards 2024 section on the PlayStation Store that lists the different games nominated this year.
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
I don't know why the title says " honest thoughts " when all he does is praise the PS4 Pro it should say "honest praise thoughts"
If it would have only added around $15 to add the 4K Uhd drive why did Sony pass on it? Will they release another version next year? For now I'm just going to upscale my launch PS4 thru my Xbox slim to get upscaled 4K and still enjoy having a 4K Uhd player :)
this article seems to assume that basically no one is excited about the ps4 pro because no one has a 4k tv or monitor. stupid. why would you want a 4k console if you didn't already own a 4k tv or had no interest in buying a 4k tv. thats like wanting air conditioning in your house but passing on it cuz you also need electricity to run it unlike your paper, handheld fan. i don't think thats why people were disappointed. I have a 4k tv already which is why i was interested in the ps4 pro... not the other way around.
I'm pretty sure the reason people are are unimpressed is because it still isn't powerful enough to render high-end games in true 4k, it doesn't have a UHD Bluray drive (even the xb1 s does), it still upscales most content to UHD and also the elephant in the room - Scorpio... which has all the stuff the pro is missing and is still more than a full ps4 more powerful on top of it. I pre-ordered the ps4 pro, but those were my own personal disappointments with the official reveal. Still... its better than the original ps4.
I luv it
So how will the streaming work?
