@systemoverload: the 825gb is what you will get after OS and whatnot. That is all. Same with the XSX/S which both say 1tb, but won’t actually be 1tb of space. This is happens often. Also Cerny said games wouldn’t be huge install files because of the SSD. Example would be say a tree or something. That tree is on the current hdd say 400 times and fragmented. Whereas the ssd will be won’t have this. The tree won’t be all over the hard drive so it’s easy to access. It will be say in one place and takes up so much less space.
CDPR said no mtx at all. They would go the dlc route. Now that changes to we want to get you to s-end as much money as you can and be happy. Lol. This game is overhyped along with CDPR. CDPR gets way to much credit for one game that was a hit. Witcher 1 & 2 weren’t great. Thronebreaker was a bomb and the biggest game since is a mini game from Witcher 3, Gwent. Yet instead of taking Witcher 3 aspects like 3rd person then went the other way. A game where your character literally upgrades himself or modifies his body and you can only see the character in a mirror. Lol that whole "FPP is used to make the game immersive" is bs. Video games are immersive. That is the point of games like the Witcher 3 or RDR2 or AC. On top of that gameplay is nothing new. We have seen many games give us the "choices matter" marketing. Missions playing out differently is nothing new. People are hyped for Cyberpunk 2077 just like NMS and Anthem. We saw how they turned out at launch.
I get MS is pulling all the stops out for Halo Infinite but pulling people in now for a game suppose to release in 2 months doesn’t sound reassuring. I know Staten was just one person and Xbox seeking outside help isn’t new but this is Xbox’s one and truly huge franchise. Gears 5 is huge too but Halo is what started with Xbox and this isn’t good. Halo really hasn’t been the same since 3 and it just seems to get worse. I can’t remember a time when an exclusive franchise of this caliber has had this many issues. Mario’s might be Sunshine but even then Mario bounced back. I think part of the problem is Bungie is missed.
@bababooey12: just like crash was an exclusive so was Ori and Cuphead. The dev for Cuphead said that the game would never appear on another platform. Yet it’s on the Switch.
As for the new studios, most have a long way to go. Xbox likes to cancel games. Especially a few that were showcased at e3s. Just because those studios games will be shown doesn’t mean they will be good. Insomniac made a great game Sunset Overdrive. Barely sold over 300,000 copies. But the games Insomniac makes for the PlayStation do well. At some point Sunset Overdrive will be on the PS4 or ps5 and you will see how well it sells. That is because Insomniac has proved they can make great games. 3 out of the new devs have a good track record.
@johnny0779: neither does Xbox. You must have forget the Tomb Raider debacle. But most of those games sold awful on the Xbox. Even with TR 1 year timed exclusive it still sold much better on the PS4. But Mass Effect is another one. Titanfall is another game that went multi platform. Nowadays most 3rd party releases their games on multiple platforms.
What comprises? Sony doesn’t control how companies promote their games. Usually timed exclusives are mentioned at the beginning. MS has had many times to answer questions after an event because they were unclear. I mean look at the naming of the XSX itself.
@bababooey12: You forget Sony never promised gameplay. They said they would show games. MS promised gameplay. Everyone was waiting for the AC Valhalla gameplay that never came. MS set themselves up for failure. They even changed the name of the video for the event to coverage or something but removed gameplay. MS first event showed games that are multi platform too. Most of them are. The PS5 event delivered and more. But to sit there and say most were cgi or not impressive is just being ignorant. Horizon 2 Forbidden West looked great. Ratchet and Clank showed what the ssd could do. Gran Turismo showed how realistic games good look at launch. Project Athia showed gameplay. To say most didn’t show gameplay is lying to yourself. Xbox’s first event was awful. Greenberg himself turned the Xbox into a meme. We got gameplay for one game Ascent. MS has said that first party games won’t be exclusive to the XSX at launch at least. So those games aren’t going to look great as those games will be made for the X1. The Halo Infinite trailer last showed look awful.
Halo looks better and more entertaining then anything from the PS5 event is a fanboy line if I ever saw one. Especially since there was no gameplay at all shown yet. 2 trailers that were bad. One for slipstream and the other one didn’t even have Masterchief until the last 10-15 seconds. This coming from someone who played all Halo games. The games look amazing on the ps5 but you must not have watched the whole show as it was stated at the beginning that the games were recorded at 1080p. But graphics are not that big a deal. Plus, again must be a first console launch for you, as no game at launch takes advantage of a new console. It’s what they can do with games. Makes worlds more detailed, better loading times, more features, and etc. Both will have that.
As for the design, many like it. As a hater you only see the hate. This is what happens often. You are in the minority as most of us that like design or don’t care, don’t comment. Whereas people like you start making memes and saying how awful it looks. But if you look at console designs most are different. Though I rather have the PS5 then an 80s beta vcr or the next gen cinder block. It’s nice to be different. Be different and enjoy both. You enjoy your one game Halo and I will enjoy Spider-Man Miles Morales. HZD2, Sackboy, Paper Mario, BotW2, Metroid Prime 4, Halo 6, Ascent, and many, many other games.
@johnny0779: where is the obvious ps5 delay development? They canceled one event because of what is going on. EA did it first.
Companies get hacked everyday. MS and it’s windows security is awful. So MS isn’t any better.
As the lawsuit, if you are referring to the one where Sony has to pay 2.4 mil, yea it’s bad. But it’s not gonna break the bank and the PS4/ps5 will still be selling.
One thing you forget is that the PS4 is and will be a viable console for the next 3 years. In the next 2 months, the PS4 is getting huge franchises. Ghost of Tsushima and TLOU2 are going to be huge for the PS4. Whereas the Xbox One has been done for almost 2 years. Xbox stopped supporting that system with games.
As for MS what have they showed that says "buy an Xbox Series X"? Smart delivery, which is not that big a deal. The only games guaranteed for SD is Xbox exclusives, which Xbox has very little of. The new Xbox was shown a on a YouTube channel, with old games and old software. No one cares that yay tracing works on Minecraft. Then we had the first Inside Xbox that was highly advertised as showing gameplay for 3rd party games running on the Xbox series X. All we got was videos within the game. Ascent looks boring from the gameplay shown. So the Xbox hasn’t really proved anything.
All it will take is Sony to have one event and MS won’t know what to do. As much as we want to see the console it’s all about the games. With 3 console generations under their belt, MS still hasn’t had a new ip in years that is a hit. The ps5 will sell and again MS will be clawing to try and stay afloat. The board of directors wanted to sell Xbox once. Don’t be surprised if Xbox ends up in 3rd again that it’s sold off.
Very disappointed by the whole insta kill any enemy with the hidden blade. Sounds like more and more of rpg elements are removed. I get I can customize the character and settlements. But getting random loot as always fun. There is no random loot. It Now the hidden blade is back to older AC games, which were great. But Odyssey was amazing with sales that were making it one of the best selling AC games. But because a few people whined about length, progression, insta kill, and rpg mechanics it’s seems like all these things are toned down. I don’t want an AC game plays like older games. They were great but Ubisoft took the formula and reshaped it into an rpg for 2 games. Settlements is nothing new. It was already in 2 games. Plus, now it seems the Isu as Gods and their experiments won’t be in the game.
@DuoMaxwell007: it’s not like it’s copied. 2 Different words. Alibaba is know for selling shit like. If the game was similar then this wouldn’t even happened. Even the cover for the game used the same black and white look. That is why it’s called copyright infringement and not like infringement.
