Well I'd play all the multi formats on Xbox as I find Xbox live to be better. Whilst sticking with Sony for the exclusives.Tech more important than games for you then?
Gaming PS4 vs Xbox One - The suckiest thread in the history of suckyness
- Thread starter vuc
- Start date
That's fair enough, dunno if I'd drop 4-5 bills to do that.... I'm pretty happy with OG PS4/PSVR. It'll take a lot to get me to get another XBox (buy another wheel, controller, pay for live etc...). It's possible tho... Just not very likely.
So, I was loved Playstation 1 and 2. Then I switched to Xbox. Brought a 360, Xbox One and Xbox One S (over the years). Been die hard Xbox for years now.
I Last week decided to switch and get a PS4 for a few reasons most of my friends were on PS and PS just have better exclusive titles.
I've just seen the specs for Project Scorpio and it kills the PS4 Pro to be honest in terms of hardware but the only issue is that they just don't have the titles. I enjoy narrative games a lot and PS is best for that. Plus gaming is better with as many friends as possible.
Will probably put the xbox one on eBay soon.

I just bought a PS4, so it's obviously the better system
I'll stick this in here seeing as it's a multiplat game, and from the reviews a pretty good one too that could fly under the radar, The Sexy Brutale:

Both the Xbox and PS4 need more survival games. The PC has loads of them - Rust, Day Z, that new Battle Royale (Player Unknown or something) one that just got released and has already shifted a million downloads.
I lose myself in games like Rust for days sometimes. I mean, the PS4 exclusives are good (I own a gaming PC and all current gen consoles) but they are usually overrated single player experiences (Uncharted, Zero Dawn).
Give us some edgy online-only stuff please Sony/MS. Ark has been a huge success on both consoles.

I tried ark and couldn't really understand it or seem to do anything on it, never really tried survival games much but i do love the SP experience of games anyway.
Consoles could do with a proper mmorpg like WoW though. That game has stood the test of time. It's still got a pretty huge player base. Obviously translating that kind of game to console would be difficult due to restrictions on controls.
Ark is great with a group of friends, same goes for Rust etc.
I think people rate ESO highly now after it's awful release and it's on consoles as well. There's currently a free trial running, I might try it later.
This thread gives me jokes. We'll need a new one in a few years.
Won't be the same without the ultimate fanboy Weaste, and the ultimate troll Cider.
It'd just be Alock trying to convince us that Kinect will really work this time, whilst the rest of us wait for Microsoft to go full EA and piss everyone off again.
I just bought playstation network card for the first time in ages, not sure why ? From what l remember of online gaming it's full of racist and sexist trolls who disconnect when they are losing.
Tell me it's changed for the better.

Nowadays you generally have to party up with people on your friends list for voice chat. I'm not sure what games have full open mic chat anymore, though maybe it's because I stopped playing them or just don't know how to get it working these days.
Rumoured Specs for the next gen consoles. Backed up by a few insiders.
MS seen to be going all in this time round.
I'll be fecking gutted if Microsoft acquire Platinum...
...
Actually, they're putting a lot of their stuff on PC nowadays anyway, so yeah, Bayo 4 PC? I wanna believe.
Need to see exclusives or its a bust imo.
Bayonetta as an ip is completely owned by Nintendo now, so no way.
I forgot about that
My bad. But still, as long as new Platinum games come to PC and aren't Xbox exclusives, I don't really care.That said, I'm hoping the Xbox 4 embraces the fact it's basically just a PC anyway. Come to some sort of agreement with Valve/Epic whoever, & sell it as the most powerful gaming console that can also play PC games like a normal PC
That's the dream. Imagine how many "console exclusives" Microsoft could claim if their console could play the PC library Not to mention the fact that console exclusives would literally cease to exist for Nintendo/Sony.

They all need to stop fecking around with exclusives and make better machines which you can play across platform with your friends. Console wars are feckng boring and brand loyalty to tech giants like Microsoft, Apple or Sony is beyond moronic.
I disagree, console wars only help with getting better quality games, we see that with the Switch and the PS4, Xbox has gamepass which can count as an exclusive I guess? And I don't know what apple have to do with gaming.
Because it's the same type of cult. Consumers gleefully handing over fistfuls of cash and acting as a brand advocate for a company who could not give less of a shit about them. It's nonsense, there's 300 pages here of people flaming each other like their mothers were Sony and Microsoft. It's exactly what they want. Did console wars help make better games? Or did it just encourage Sony to buy up all the smaller companies along with EA and hoard properties? You do not make better anything by slapping a patent on it.I disagree, console wars only help with getting better quality games, we see that with the Switch and the PS4, Xbox has gamepass which can count as an exclusive I guess?

Ok so I havent really been following this thread but I've always been a build my own pc guy but it's just not as convenient as consoles. Especially with little ones around. Is it still worth it to get a PS4 or Xbox One now or just wait for next gen at this pt? I haven't owned a console since the SNES days.
Depends. If you buy a PS4/X1 now, you'll have a huge library of cheap games, but if you'd rather be on the "cutting edge" of console technology (which is a bit of an oxymoron in itself), then just wait for the new systems to come out (although that's likely not for a while).
It's not on the companies, it's on those people, but you seem passionate enough about your opinion on this so I'll leave it at that.
Remove exclusives? Has to be one of the stupid things I read in this thread and there have been a lot.
Manufactures competing against each other is important for consumers. Them joining forces isn’t so great.
I can understand people wanting multi platforms as cross play and I’m one of those people.
But exclusives are what defines consoles.

I started this gen on PC and PS4 but will end it on PC and Xbox One X.
I’ve been well impressed with the X and I plan on staying with Xbox next gen. The future seems bright with the latest studio acquisitions.

Can you expand on that? I was thinking Xbox has been a bit rubbish, but if they're likely to get quality exclusives I'd stay with it.
Honestly, it feels like Xbox has barely had anything going for it the last couple of years. The X might be impressive hardware but I think it came out too late, battle already lost by that point.
Shame because my original Xbone always felt a like a better experience, just didn’t have the exclusives.

8+ TF for PS5?
Cant see it...
10-12+ TF or bust for both imo.
For context:
If that ends up being the PS5 specs I'll end up on NextBox next gen, although that would depend on MS VR plans. Otherwise I just wont bother with either... maybe dig back into PC gaming. Long time to go yet.... and I think most of the leaks are guesses atm.

All those numbers are pointless mumbo jumbo to me.
Graphics are eye-meltingly gorgeous these days anyway so I don't see how they can be much improved really.
I suppose 60FPS will be the big thing, will they both be hitting that? If so, teraflops and gigawanks don't matter. It's all games, games, games.

My point is I'm not going to drop 4/5 bills on something that's marginally more powerful than current gen XB1X. I probably should have just said that....
Also don't hold your breath on 60fps
What you mean leaks are guesses? The devkits are in the hands of developers and AMD are leaking shit too.8+ TF for PS5?

No need to dismiss it because the PS5 will be less powerful no matter what. MS need the more powerful console. Sony don’t need to invest in the power game because they have the userbase. If they continue on with the exclusives then they will maintain most of that userbase. Where as MS have to go all out. That means having the more powerful console from the start next gen.
People were dismissing the leaks about the Xbox one and saying it’s not true. We all know how that turned out. The same for the switch.
There's a leak nearly every other day atm. So I'm dismissive because it's most likely bollocks (VR needs power). Believe it if you want to....
In the past 18 months or so they’ve bought 4-5 quality game studios so here’s hoping the exclusives will start rolling out sooner rather than later.
The X was a game changer for me, it’s even pulled me away from my pc which I never thought possible. Playing in the living room with 4K hdr is amazing, ive been buying all my multiplats since Red Dead 2 on Xbox.
What do you mean VR needs power? The next PS VR isn’t going to be some super powerful VR kit that those specs can’t run. It has to be a modest price so the specs will be modest because nobody is going to pay £400 for a new console and then £350 for a VR kit.
If you want proper VR then get a PC.
PSVR is leading right now (more PSVR sold than all PCVR combined last I checked), they have the software but the hardware is a level below. I'd prefer to stay with PSVR tbh, not to mention the expense of it all... fecking hell.
Anyway, IMO:
PS5 comes out 2020 (and is 10+ TF)
PSVR2 comes out a couple years after. No one wants to pay 4/5 bills for a console and then spend 3/4 bills on a headset.
PSVR will be compatible with it early doors so no need for PSVR2 at launch. It will also play PS4 PSVR games and people will be able to upgrade once the PSVR2 headset drops, in their own time.
The power is at the console, not the (tethered) headset. We have a decent idea what specs we need to run VR software like Insomniac's Stormlands.
If they want to at least attempt to keep up with PC there's no point half arsing it. Let's see how it goes...
No competition = no games like GOW and BOTW
What shocks me is how they've not tried to just do 60fps....My point is I'm not going to drop 4/5 bills on something that's marginally more powerful than current gen XB1X. I probably should have just said that....
Also don't hold your breath on 60fps
I switched to PC this year and the difference is crazy. I mean, I play at more than 60, but still.
I found an old Sega Saturn game, so a 20yr old game, and it was advertising 30fps back then. How hasn't it changed...
They’d always have to budget it. The rumours currently are that PSVR2 will be launching in 2020 alongside the console.
I don’t think they bothered about PC. That’s for more hardcore users. They want to attract the casual user. For me if I want to get into VR the headset needs to be smaller and less wires. MS are not bothered about VR. I’m happy they not because they need to sort out their situation game wise. This gen and towards the last part of last gen it was all Kinect and TV.
Well I do hope it plays PS4 games and VR. Would be hilarious if it doesn’t.
Sony have a few exclusives out in the next 18 months like last of us 2, Death stranding and ghost of Tsushima. I wonder if there will be PS5 versions of these games. They made a lot of money this gen remastering shit. I just hope they use their brain and make sure it’s BC as that’s one way to piss off your fanbase.
Because console manufactures tend to boast about graphics rather than frame rate.
But that’s changing now. They realised gamers not just on neogaf give a shit about frame rate. Spencer said the next Xbox they will try for 60fps. But in reality I’m not expecting 4k and 60fps from every game. But 1080p and 60fps should be expected.
PS4 > Xbox
Anyone who disagrees clearly doesn't have a clue and should be ignored.
