Tomb Raider is a pretty damn good game, so at least this is a discussion over a game that is good. No doubt PS4 hardware is superior to Xbox One hardware, so you'll see things like this. Having said that, the tighter version is on the PS4. But its a good game and worth buying no matter where you get it. I'm a Frames per second guy so this matters. Id rather have it at 900p upscaled and hit that 60 fps more often on the Xbox One. Still, the average public aint gonna give a shit about this same way they don;'t for CoD or BF4. Still, early in the gen and things will get better. This is newsworthy though and for a good game, so its a feather in the PS4 cap. Not nearly enough to make me want to buy the system, but far from a bad thing either.
Come on guys, you can do better damage control than that now.
What damage control? The PS4 version is the better version of the two, and at least this is a good game people are discussing. I might pick this up for the One, but its not enough to make me buy a PS4.
After everything that is known, I don't understand how you can favor the Xbone over PS4.
Oh that's really easy.
1. Fable Legends, Quantum Break, Titanfall, Sunset OverDrive, Project Spark, Killer Instinct season 1 and 2, Forza Horizon 2, and Halo 5 are all games I want far more than anything announced on the PS4.
2. Kinect voice/motions controls for navigating Xbox One features. Its perfectly fine if none of that interests you, but I enjoy using it a great deal for Skype, Xbox Fitness, and just maneuvering from game to TV to app, etc. I don't want a Xbox One without Kinect, period. Its not perfect and it needs work like any app/add-on but its something I use alot and enjoy.
3. Most of my friends game on 360 and all upgraded to Xbox One. I discuss/debate in sales threads and whatever, but at the end of the day I don't care if Sony sells more of if MS sells more. I care about playing the games I want, with the friends I have, and the features that interest me.
4. PS4 is the more powerful system of the two and that can't and won't change. And I don't care because the games I listed in 1. are not on a PS system, and since I only game on consoles I bought the one with the games that interest me. I've enjoyed CoD ghosts on my One in 720p upscaled and couldn't have cared less that the PS4 version is higher resolution because my buds don't have one, aren't playing it, and want Titanfall and Halo far more that losing their mind over 1080p. I don't pause games, take snapshots and then zoom in to see AA or texture blurs. A game is great or its average or it sucks. Resolution wars is a online gaming forum issue. Real world its all about games, your pals and if you care about the price.
5. Going forward I may get sequels to a number of my fav games from last gen like Crackdown and Gears of War. Likely both will only be on Xbox One.
6. Xbox Fitness is fantastic, period.
PS4 overall seems like a very simple gaming focused system, and I want my console to feature much more than just games because 400 and 500 bucks aren't cheap. One is cheaper, definitely, but doesn't do everything I'm interested in like the more expensive one does. Again, its all a matter of taste. The PS4 feels like a souped up PS3 to me, and that's not nearly enough across the board. I don't hold Sony or MS to any degree of trust outside of the fact that they both want my money and have both done a world of shady shit in the past. All that anti consumer BS and shady YouTube crap is lost on me as Sony has done just as much, same as Apple, Samsung, McDonalds, ect. If a company produces something I like I will buy it. But I hold no allusion that they care about anything other than my money, or that there are things they wont do to get ahead, lol. Others feel different and that's cool. Opinions are like assholes, everybody got one, lol.
But Those are the reasons I chose the One and why I think for me and my tastes its a far better system than the PS4.
I understand. And I respect your opinion.
But now I'll ask of you to be objective and only look at the facts, then what console is the best?
That means ignore that all of your friends got an Xbox,...
Let's look at the facts:
PS4:
*stronger
*cheaper
*strong first party support
...
Xbone:
*kinect
*weaker
*more expensive
...
What do you think?
PS4: Stronger
Xbox One: Better games
PS4: Cheaper
Xbox One: More features I enjoy
PS4: Owns more first party studios
Xbox One: Has better line-up going forward
PS4: Better third party performance
The only one of those things I care about on the PS4 side is the last one. That's a big one, but how big in terms of actual game enjoyment. I like, but I don't love Uncharted. I love God of War, but not more than Halo. A new TLOU might swing me to buy a PS4 someday, but thats a long time off. I've been playing the One since launch, and have gotten time in with the PS4. I dont see a gigantic difference with my own two eyes. But I see games for one I want far more than games for the other. If more people buy PS4 thats fine. Buy what you like. The Xbox One can't win a specs war with the PS4. That's obvious. Doesn't mean it wont have games with amazing graphics, or that it can't have the better games period, which I think it does. MS hasn't shown how the Cloud will do anything yet, so they will be laughed at until they do, rightfully so. But if I'm playing Titanfall and Halo 5 at 720p locked 60 frames, and Mass Effect comes oyt for the One, and Crackdown is made, lol, I'll live with the online humor of memes and gifs and shit. I'm about the games and features, not the specs. If I was about the specs I wouldn't console game at all cause no console will ever eclipse a PC.
