PS4 And Xbox One Comparison Is Silly, “More About The Games” – A Way Out Dev

By now, the whole industry is at least vaguely familiar with A Way Out creator Josef Fares after his outburst at The Game Awards. However, behind this there’s an intensely creative individual who’s passionate about video games. The vision for A Way Out, which focuses on co-op play between two prisoners trying to escape, reflects that.

There are games from both platforms that appeal to me. Exclusivity is never a deciding factor for when I look at a game. At the very least my #1 reason is FUN. Will I have fun playing the game and if so then I will buy it. Power does not determine the fun factor and neither does exclusivity.

[BlackTar187]

is anyone saying that exclusives make a game better? Or are they saying Sony exclusives are generally reviewed really well?

[freshslicepizza]

Does he have a special marketing deal with Sony?

[Rhythmattic]

freshslicepizza
lol

[galmi]

good question

[shuvam09]

Totally agree with you there...
It's just some of the most fun games I've played happen to be exclusives...
Bloodborne, Last Guardian, Gravity Rush 2, Ratchet & Clank, Zelda: BotW, Mario Odyssey, Nioh, Nier, Persona 5...
Exclusives don't matter to me...
But when they are great exclusives, it's hard to ignore...

[galmi]

Of all the ps4 exclusives, the ones that are worth if for me that i bought, are bloodborne, the best in my opinion, HZD, Nioh, second best, nier and persona 5

Looking forward to god of war, ghost of tsushima and death stranding

"Will I have fun playing the game and if so then I will buy:

You are so dumb not everyone can buy multiple consoles.

I know I would have fun playing mario, so I want to play mario should I buy a ps4?

If Halo was on PS ... ya wouldn´t write that drivel. THAT is literally the only reason for easily 75% of Xbox owner to keep on riding the same train for decades.

I can understand when someone preferred the 360 over the PS3, but now¿? It makes no sense to stick with a dead platform since 2014? when the only exclusive is Sunset Overdrive.

Yeah i would prolly too get an xbox if i didnt already have a pc, but let´s keep the PC out of the equation and compare both consoles. Objectively speaking the Xbone is the worst offender since Apple´s Pippin.

- lack of Software
- lying PR "puppets" about putting focus on 1st party since 2014 ...
- terrible Interface of the console, still is convoluted
- weaker hardware (2013 - 2017)
- bigger console (2013 - 2017)
- 1x exclusive (if we add "i has a pc" narrative)
- "kinect plays a very important role" ...
- "with the cloud the XBone will get stronger over time" ...
- brand not doing well, according to some outlets other tell you the opposite
- brand appeal (ausk only)
- GaaS 2017 = Broadband Mentality introduced back 2001
- always the same type of games ... every year (pewpewpewpew) except for Cuphead
- their best "soft exclusive" in over a decade!! Totally worth getting a 2nd hand xbox for that game
- Sony sold/shipped 22mill. PS4 in 2016, if we use "internet logic" and assume that the gap is still 2:1 in favour of Sony, MS must have sold/shipped about 10mill. xbones in 2016.

So far this year 2017 partially or mainly due it "PlayAnywhere" they sold -49% less xbones .. the xbox X isnt what ppl. expected it to be, a perfect machine capable to playback 360 at 4K, not so much when it comes to contemporary games. Adding that "dx12 into the cpu" didnt help much and 2 add. TFlops ain´t enough to hit 4K30 "easily".

Overall they´ve been backpedaling since 2013, adding features that initially nobody g.a.f. about it or never have been that important (BC since PS2 days ... only a minority g.a.f.). Where were you all during the ps360 days, when the PS3 had about 99% BC built it for PS1 and PS2 (bar the blue ones) and the 360 had only a "hand ful" of xb2001 ?
I don´t remember the outrage back then ...

[Skankinruby]

Lol the GAMES you are gonna PLAY are what matters???? Ya don't say

[DeadSilence]

Gaming bolt again? Man...

[galmi]

one day they are the worst source for news, another day, credibility to the max, N4G is beautiful

[frostypants]

No. I know what you mean, but Gaming Bolt is consistently stupid. They are good for maybe one solid editorial piece a year, but the rest is just hot garbage clickbait.

[Markusb33]

Yeah next week it will be an article with the opposite view point. These people have no credibility.

[bluefox755]

Exactly. It's all about the games, it's always been about the games. The majority of people obviously agree, and this is plainly reflected in consoles sales. Seems like some uber fans have forgotten this, or choose to ignore it, but it's good to know that most gamers and some devs still have their priorities straight.

[freshslicepizza]

True, it's why the Wii beat the Xbox 360 and PS3.

[bluefox755]

No, the Wii beat 360 and PS3 because non-gamers bought it. They managed to tap into the casual market and convinced grandmas to buy it. This isn't something that's relevant or happening this gen, obviously. Those people have moved on to mobile phones and are never coming back to consoles. C'mon Moldy, you're smarter than that.

[darthv72]

@blue... many have said gaming is more popular this gen but how can that be if it was uber popular last? I mean if the casuals arent buying this time then who is replacing them?

Last gen there was upwards of 100+ million wiis sold and upwards of 80+ million ps3/360 sold. If casuals spiked wii sales then could we estimate there is only about 80-85 million real gamers based on ps3/360 units sold?

[mafiahajeri]

At the end of the day anyone without a PS4 is gonna miss out on one hell of an end to this generation, with all the amazing games coming out. While MS are still working on mediocre looking game like Crackdown, with no release date in sight. Sony also has VR which is a very welcome addition this gen.

The only reason I can see anyone choosing Xbox is brand loyalty.

[Kiwi66]

Brand loyalty is also a reason why people stay with PS

[yellowgerbil]

Dreams is why i stay with ps. Hot shots golf, uncharted, the last of us. Has nothing to do with loyalty it has to do with consistent excellence

[jznrpg]

Its the games they release

[Kiwi66]

To those who disagree with what I said I did say a reason not the reason, in other words it's one of the reasons why people stay with PS

[Kiwi66]

So are people saying that if someone has been with PS since the beginning that they aren't going to be loyal to the brand

[Aenea]

Brand loyalty is why I alway buy a PS first. But part of that loyalty also is there because I know I will get games I like, tho, have to admit, even if they wouldn't anymore I would still go with PS first, but am sure that with other people it will help with their brand loyalty as well...

[galmi]

"Brand loyalty is also a reason why people stay with PS"

and i think its true, many from my part of the world by a PS strictly for brand loyalty and fifa/pes

[dreue]

no,i always have a ps,because of games,was thinking to get an xbox x,but after MS cancel the game,im really not into those games...and ps4 pro with my 4k tv,and a great pc,im good to go...if MS show me new Ips that looks good i will pick it up....but Sony always delevery great games for me...so i must have it not because of brand but because they give me games i want to play....

[darthv72]

Brand loyalty is not why I play both. I do that because I do not want to restrict my gaming choices to a single system.

I like playing the field.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

I didn't buy an xbox for brand loyalty, the only reason I bought one because my friends and family are on it.

[Tross]

Thank you. I'm getting sick of all these articles where devs praise the X's hardware, and yet we don't see any about upcoming XB1 exclusives. Games before hardware. The Switch wouldn't be selling if hardware was all that mattered, and it's running circles around the XB1 sales wise.

[Elda]

Okay!

[Krysis]

Just let it out, it's OK.

[TheOttomatic91]

F**K THE COMPARISONS ITS ALL ABOUT THE GAMES!!!!

[tontontam0]

Yeah its silly there is nothing to compare xbox has no games

[thexmanone]

Really, why do I have over 200 games in my library. How many do you have?

To say there are no games is just trolling.

[galmi]

its always the statement here, i can guess its exclusives that a lot of them dont even buy

[tontontam0]

I have over 200 games in my library you can't buy on xbox.

how many do you have? which I can't play on my ps4?
