Why don't you use your head and realize that if SONY wins, development costs will skyrocket and the amount of games we'll get will be severely cut.

Enjoy buying only 2 games every year.

Well, by that logic, we should just buy the NES and stick with that forever.

I think that dev costs should scale well with the power of the console. The Xbone is just right in terms of graphical power and dev cost associated with making games catering to that power. 1.1-1.3 TF is in the okay range for power-dev cost parity. Anything higher will financially strain developers. Anything lower will cause graphical progress to come to a halt.

What are you talking about? CoD is one of the few games out there that's saving the gaming industry from a financial collapse. The CoD formula has saved competing devs time and money. Right now, most FPS games are CoD clones like Halo 4 and Killzone 3.

I honestly don't see why anyone but diehard SONY fans would want something like this to happen. The Xbox ONE needs to win in order for the gaming industry to survive.

Why do you think that rising dev costs is good for anyone? It harms devs because they can't make money. It harms consumers because there won't be a lot of games to play.

As we all know, the gaming industry has been on a financial decline ever since this current gen started. Development costs have skyrocketed and the costs don't seem to be going down. As a result, many gaming companies had to file for bankruptcy. It's an extremely sad state of affairs, but I believe that we gamers can work together to solve this mess just like how we solved the DRM issues for the Xbox ONE.

Before we organize ourselves, we must all agree that the continual need for awesome graphics has harmed the finances of the gaming industry. We must promote gameplay over graphics. This is essential.

To show our support for gimping graphics, we need to cancel our PS4 preorders and preorder the Xbox ONE. This will send a message to all console manufacturers as well as developers that graphics don't matter. A weak console means that developers will stress gameplay over graphics, reducing their development time. It is without a doubt that the PS4 is cancerous to the gaming industry, as such a powerful console will only facilitate the rising cost of game development. If SONY ends up winning next gen, then I'm afraid we'll only be left with 2-4 big publishers while all the little guys will be driven out due to soaring costs.

[QUOTE="CallOfDutyRulez"]So we have another BF4 dev, Alan Kertz, who claimed that the DS4 was the best controller for next-gen, implying that he'll be playing on the PS4. This is further indication that the definitive BF4 experience will be on the PS4. PC may have superior graphics, but the keyboard and mouse crutch puts it on easy mode and it's not fun anymore.Ribnarak

Controller just sucks for FPS... it's simple fact. Just like how M&K is for sports.

Controllers are the best way of playing because they test your finger balance. It adds another layer of skill into the game.

The keyboard & mouse crutch makes the game too easy, as they only require basic hand-eye coordination. It's like having an aimbot. If you're the type of person who plays through a game on easy mode, PC gaming is for you.

Anyone who wants a challenge games on consoles.

So linear games are no good?carljohnson3456

No. I never said that. Linear games can be good if they're done right. Look at The Last of Us. The combat in that game is very open and can be approached in many, many ways.

Uncharted is a linear game done poorly. You always duck in the same corner, shoot in the same direction, enemies have no AI, etc. There's not much you can do to experiment.

It's sad how cow tools like you keep laughing at me instead of looking and acknowledging the destruction SONY is causing.

Open your damn eyes. Tomb Raider, that 360 Uncharted clone from a Polish studio, Resident Evil 7. It doesn't even have to be a 3rd person shooter or a PS3-only game. It's any game that plays like a movie. Take a look at RYSE.

Yes. MGS 4 is a PS3 exclusive and plays like a movie. They're also responsible.

Would you prefer Halo's or Gear's "childish" story?

SexyJazzCat

Halo and Gears don't spawn rip-offs. Uncharted does.

First, it was Tomb Raider. Next year, it'll be Resident Evil 7.

Oh yea? Look at Resistance, Killzone, Planetside, Ratchet Clank, Starhawk, Dead Space 3, Borderlands 2, Alien Colonial Marines, Kerbal Space Program all clearly ripped off from Halo and Gears. Halo and gears are such a bad influence. They spawn rip offs that aren't even successful. It's outrageous.

Are you just spewing crap?

Resistance and killzone are CoD clones.

Ratchet & Clank... lol...

Starhawk is a strategy game and plays nothing like Halo or Gears.

I haven't played the others, so I'm not going to judge.
