With the news of DirecX 12 and Windows 10 coming for the Xbox One, the question arises as to how Sony will respond to this. In a new opinion piece, Skewed and Reviewed look at ways that Sony may respond at E3.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
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.
PlayStation doesn't need to respond to anything Microsoft is doing. I remember these articles when the Xbox dropped to $349, PlayStation did nothing and are still selling more.
Microsoft reacts to PlayStation this generation, not the other way around.
"How Will Sony Respond To DirectX 12 And Windows 10?"
*chuckles*
Sony will respond by:
Continuing to make more exclusive games than it's competitor
Continue to bolster it's current lineup with more games than it's main competitor
Continue to sell approximately 1 million consoles per month worldwide
Continue to market the PS4 as a gaming console FIRST that has additional features as an added bonus
Continue to ensure that PS4 supply meets demand
I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the company with the largest market share actually has to do other than continue to do what's working?
why should sony respond to DX12?, both the PS4 and the one currently have very low level api on their suk, way lower than dx12 the only thing that dx12 do is to make easier and faster to a dev to transfer the game from pc to the console, but if the developer really want to optimize and invest the time the napi from xbone will have better results than dx12
No doubt this will be N4G's new No1 article and it tells us nothing.
It tells us nothing about DX12
It tells us nothing about Windows 10
It tells us nothing new about the PS4
I would have been just as informed on "How Will Sony Respond To DirectX 12 And Windows 10" if I had read nothing.
