You're exactly right. Developers are making a killing off of DLC and micro-transactions, which was supposedly the answer for rising development costs. Ever since the micro-transaction craze started this generation, I've bought very few games new. If they increase the price of base games, then they'll just sell fewer games.
Here in Canada, a base game, like CoD for instance, costs $79.99 plus taxes. If a base game goes to $90.00 or $100.00, then I suspect that G...
In my opinion, here are 4 reasons that make the Series X more compelling to consumers:
1. Much more powerful @ 12.1 Tflops.
2. A more conservative and mature form factor, which wont make it look like a kids toy in the livingroom.
3. Backwards compatibility with Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One games, so people can take their games collection with them and use their old consoles as a trade in towards a new console.
4. Game...
I'm no fan of Vice, but Sony has no business contacting people to disagree with their reviews.
Sony's version of Smart Delivery, is to sell you a remastered version of the game.
Maybe it's a remaster of the Xbox 360 port.
Great news for people using older GPUs.
Based on this, I would rather play the original PC version again.
This is super cool. The TI-99 was my first video game system. I was crazy good at Parsec back in those days.
It's called 'turning down the graphics settings'. Consoles will be running the game at lower detail than the PC. All this proves, is that this game is going to be taxing to run on Very High or Ultra PC settings, particularly at resolutions over 1080p, kind of like Crysis was back in the day.
The day consoles disappear, is the day he cuts his beard off.
Let the market dictate what developers do.
A very logical reason indeed.
Series S for me. Low cost, and will work perfectly for my 1080p TV. Sony just isn't trustworthy enough when it comes to digital purchases to choose their presumably cheaper system.
If it were for multi-monitor support, then that would be kind of neat.
A lot of the positive review scores are undoubtedly due to the political mood in liberal circles, of which most game studios and gaming media are heavily indoctrinated with. To give a critical score to a game with LGBT characters, would be to go against the LGBT movement in the eyes of most of the reviewers, and this game leans heavily on LGBT themes. I believe that there are reviewers that will give a game 10/10 just for a development studio's political contribution towards liberal cause...
VR is not needed. Wake me up when Xbox comes out with a holodeck.
Poppycock, I am as principled as they come.
It is being underestimated. Blind faith by the mob.
Aaron Greenburg is 100% green blooded, and I give him credit for that, but I really think they need a seat change in the marketing department. Give him his own show like Major Nelson, and call it a day.
The funny part is that all they are doing is increasing the graphics settings like you would on a PC game, and saving it within the game files.
