Revisiting PS4 vs. XBONE

[d-dave]

So the new console controversy, Ubisoft is locking both consoles at 900p/30 fps to prevent a debate. Does that mean anything to you?

The better question is if the game will be fun? Or is that secondary to display statistics?

Only thing it means to me is that I wont be buying any of their games.  Especially after the PC downgrade that they gave Watch Dogs.

 

 

I never got buying a game twice.

 

A fool and their money are soon parted.

So as I randomly muse on the ideas of video games in the 21st century, I keep coming back to the idea of game play versus graphics.

 

So as we know, PCs will always have the graphical advantage and a huge install base, but will have a stigma associated with them.

 

The consoles will never have the horsepower that a PC has, and will aways be "gimpy" compared to even a very modest gaming PC.  Yet they get all the press and development (now) from the "industry."

 

Finally, there's mobile.  Massive user base, wide variety of hardware, and making money hand over fist!  The technology is catching up, but only in limited games (that are usually expensive for the freeimum audience).

 

Since this industry is a business designed to make money, where is the future of gaming?  Is it going to be in pushing the boundaries of physics in graphics cards?  The familiarity of the family console?  Or in your cell phone?  Can all the arenas continue to exist?  Or will one eventually die off?

 

PS - I'm still planning on an xb1 =)  Then maybe a PS4 if I come into money...

XBone's are now priced at 350 If you get the bundle with Assassin's Creed. You do not get a Kinect but I wouldn't buy it to dance around my living room anyways. 

 

Thinking hard about it. I have a new in box zelda wii u I could sell and nearly break even. I am curious if Sony has a response.

Sony doesn't currently need a response.

I'm thoroughly enjoying my XBONE. There isn't much difference in the consoles, just different taste in games.

Playstation entertains the beat-em-up crowd while xbox prefers the rpg's and shooters. But most things will be on both systems.

I think the whole "xbox vs playstation" argument is about as over played as it can get.

 

People should simply play what they want on what they like.  Don't like the business practices of a company?  Don't play the game.  Prefer a controller?  Play that system.  Frankly there is enough diversity of games and devices now for anyone to play and do what they want.

 

I like Halo, I like the xbox controller.  I have an active xbl subscription, and I'm getting more friends daily through Destiny.  I'm having fun!  I hope everyone else is!

 

Folks getting negative and ugly over a video game or system is rather silly.

I have all three next gen consoles so I know all about which ones have games and which ones don't. I didn't touch my Xbox from about Feb till when Forza Horizon 2 came out....

 

Also, it's quite funny how the PS4 still has about 40% more consoles sold all while not having games.

The Kinect hackers of the world thank you for not having one.

Still thinking about selling that Zelda Wii U?

Hm. Bet you decided to do that partially because of all the PSN "maintenance's" too =)

[NavyPF4L]

All jokes aside how is Forza 2?

Maintenance really doesn't effect me because it's typically Monday while I'm at work, and I can always use my PC if PSN is down.

Fairly good. Picked up Sunset Overdrive and playing that now too. Haven't really grinded into FH2 yet, but seems like a shinier version of FH1.
