Gamingbolt jesus please gtfo alredy!

stuna12814d ago

I think it also depends just as much on Developers experience and talent. This is the reason we see such big differences in each companies 1st party properties.

spreadlove2814d ago

Not just experience, talent and skill, but also resources given. Some studios has more of that than others. Oh, it also better if they don't have a marketing deal that will seek to squash differences.

bluefox7552814d ago (Edited 2814d ago )

Talent is far more important IMO. That's why you see games like UC4 and HZD on PS4, and nothing really comparable from Xbox, even with their new console. MS really need to get ahold of some 1st party talent that will set them apart.

what a joke ryse, witcher ,gears of war 4 , forza horizon 2,3, forza 7 and tomb raider says hello and ryse is a first year title. graphics don't equal resolution.

oSHINSAo2814d ago

Lol everyone, GB used to post a lot of ps4 articles and they were 1080s and full of proud ps4 gamers comments, but now... lets be fair everyone.

andrewsquall2813d ago

That's where you are wrong. GB have always had a bigger bias towards Xbox. Look at silly artciles like this for reference. https://gamingbolt.com/xbox...

Look at the damage control even from earlier in the gen. Whenever there was even a CARETAKER at a gaming development studio that made a comment on Xbone's awkward eSRAM architecture, GB were on the scene to downplay its inconvenience to developers and their "next gen" game engines.

Then every single time there was a mention of Xbone getting back some of its already under powered potential with the removal of Kinect from the development kit, they were on the scene saying that Xbone was now on par with the same power as PS4 lol and people lapped it up. The exact same thing goes for DX12 and da cloud.

https://gamingbolt.com/crye...
Look at the 3rd comment from somebody in that article.
"No he just told you they are so close in power hopefully they unlock the 10% power from kinect then they have dx12 coming good chance it will beat the ps4"
This person actually believed that Xbone was around the same power as PS4, 6 months AFTER they were out and there were MANY others like him that never understood what it meant that kinect was already leeching at some of Xbone's power for it to be only returned to the system after launch. And he even convinced himself that the "unlock of 10% power from Kinect" and DX12 would push it further than PS4 too. Too funny.

Gamingbolt were always Gamingbolt.

Wait it's up to devs to make the compromises? Well at least they have options, where as other consoles devs drawing board plan starts with compromises as the title. Good to know that $100 keeps me away from most compromise.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller Review

A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

peppeaccardo1d 8h ago

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

1nsomniac1d 7h ago

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

peppeaccardo22h ago

i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.

OMNlPOTENT18h ago

It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?

Neonridr17h ago

the battery lasts like 10 times as long as a dualsense though.

Stevonidas12h ago

Not true; more like 20.

You may commence with your butthurt, ponies.

fsfsxii11h ago

It doesn't have analogue tho, sooo....

Tacoboto11h ago

$85 USD
or $75 at CostCo (same standard price as a DualSense)

Even at $85, you're getting 3-4x the battery life of a DualSense, and it is (by a HUGE margin) the cheapest first-party console controller with Back Paddles.

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Chard1d 7h ago

Name a better controller

Vits1d 3h ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Themba761d 5h ago

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

UltimateOwnage21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.

Profchaos16h ago

The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo

I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.

Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss

PRIMORDUS1d 3h ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂

Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.

Lol. Had no idea who that was, but I will admit they do look quite similar.

Hideo Kojima calls Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “ideal” for one key reason

Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.

gigoran82d ago

Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.

PrecursorOrb1d 12h ago

Kojima states the obvious lol

mastershredder1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.

The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.

gold_drake1d 10h ago

quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.

i keep playing it

__y2jb1d 8h ago

He’s massively overrated and writes terrible dialogue.
