Ciderman was boss!
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
He was, I miss him. He knew feck all, but unlike the new breed, he really knew how to present it. Even I ended up questioning myself when we bickered, he is a legend!
I only went to Team Sony that gen as I felt bad for how much he wound Weaste up
People are putting a lot of faith in a new IP developed by a studio with a pretty poor track record for the last 10 years, who haven't developed a new IP in eons. I'd rate the chances of it being a disappointment higher than it being a success at this point.
They're both great consoles which means it should be a really good, competitive gen. Sony made a balls of things two gens ago and MS made such a balls of last gen that it gave Sony an insurmountable lead. I'm just glad both companies have released two excellent, powerful machines at competitive prices and are both now heavily pushing exclusives rather than other shit, it's good for the consumer no matter which they buy. If I didn't have a good gaming PC i'd probably own both by now.
You've got a good point - but as a Xbot (at long last) we got something exclusive to be disappointed in!
I have high hopes. Especially after the disaster that is Cyberpunk, surely publishers have learned the lesson right? Right??
All joking aside this is bang on. Sony need a good Microsoft to challenge them - we've seen them become arrogant. Microsoft need to learn from Sony with their quality exclusives and it looks like they will take heed based on their internal review of The Last of Us Part 2.
Can a loss be a win? Always, according to the Xboners.
Because we’re not fanboys?
Hitman 3, Yakuza 0, No Man’s Sky, Observation, Rocket League occasionally with friends, and COD, plus still have Valhalla to get back to. Also have Wreckfest to jump on every now and then and a few others bits off Game Pass ready to go.
So no new games? So glad I didn’t spend £450 to play Rocket League and Yakuza 0.
Imagine paying £450 on a console to brag you're playing games that came out last gen (thay are available everywhere else as well).
Fallout 4 was commercially and critically a success. Yes you get people who don't rate it the same way you do for any huge game - look at the commentary around games like TLOU2.
Fallout 76 clearly had a terrible start. But it was a live service game which are often (almost always) plagued with these issues and was rushed out. The game has clearly turned around though, and is now pretty damn popular.
The key thing is that recognize they can't get away with putting out a buggy experience now that they have Xbox's investment behind them and are a first-party studio, particular in wake of Cyberpunk. With the Halo delay then I think Xbox will get that, and you'd hope the resulting focus of having to develop only for the pc/xs gdk plus the extra qa and technical support that Xbox can give them, that it'll be a quality experience. I was surprised they put a date on it so early - I am guessing that shows some confidence, but with 18 months of road ahead of them there is surely still a lot to do.. maybe it's closer than we think from a content creation and playability perspective, and it's not far off being all about polish.
Or.. maybe they push it back (would be a bit of a disaster).
I expect that it'll still fall short for some people because they are in a really tough position. Fallout and ES developers will have all these expectations on them of what the game should be. There will be people that want Fallout in space, and others that want something different that feels fresh. But, I absolutely expect it to be huge commercially and would be surprised if it wasn't critically acclaimed.
Did you miss Hitman 3 and Valhalla?
Most of the others have next gen updates.
It will be a buggy mess solved by the pc modding community as usual, lets not pretend otherwise.
There may well be a good game in there have to wait and see on that part, there will need to be considerable upgrades and changes compared to Skyrim (ignoring fallout 4 as it was crap) to bring it up to standards expected now.
I have little faith in bethesda be nice to be wrong though.

You got that right, you suck at it!Because we’re not fanboys?
Imagine paying £450 (in installments) to not even be able to defend it well.
And yet since the Bethesda acquisition……It doesn’t matter where else they’re available
More terrible points from a Sony boy
Fallout 4 and 76 are shite though. 4 is a bit better than gets credit for, but it overall a massive disappointment. Nearly all Bethseda developed games have massive issues and were only ever properly fixed by the modding community.
That being said, I agree that somehow it will come out to great fanfare yet not be disappointing anywhere like we all are fearful of. I have hopes it will at very least launch well and get content pumped in over time.
Stop twisting his melon man.
Has there been any hint of what Moon Studios next game will be on the xbox side?
The only Xbox studio that i can be excited about currently.

Are there any rumours about another Viva Piñata from Rare? An open world version of that with modern graphics would be just 
The only reason I think that’s great is because of the way you guys act
We’re all good. I really like the idea of Starfield and I genuinely hope they make a great game as it’ll give me a reason to pick up an Xbox.The only reason I think that’s great is because of the way you guys act
Get one for Halo and Back for Blood.
Its on PS5 and full cross platform.
I’ll fight you before that day comes
Do you know where Epping Forest is? Otherwise it'll have be be in Hull.
You have to balance it with the amount of time he's saved by not having to download all the shovelware and play through it to make his gamepass purchase feel relevant.
Well that's spoiled the day for me.
He's so nondescript, no wonder I don't remember
Now I'm wondering if I've ever seen you in the wild.
You haven't seen me, but I've seen you...
I think we are pretty close IIRC, yes. Have fun sleeping after learning that.
Guys, you are just wrong! The concept of brand loyalty just doesn't exist in console sales, do some research.
Is Farming Simulator any good?
