New xbox over games Usual Phill

CyberSentinel1833d ago

The Xbox brand is pathetic this generation.

sprinterboy1833d ago

I prefer healthy competition, but ms have literally handed to Sony on a plate this gen, it couldn't have gone any worse for MS tjis gen, don't get me wrong, sitting on a nice profit and all but they've missed out on potential billions more profit

agnosticgamer1833d ago

Why do you think they bought 6 development studios and are building one from the ground up. No reason to be negative, unless of course, you are just yet another negative and cynical user on this site.

So your comment doesn't really make a whole lot of since, because the studio acquisitions have already taken place
that will address the lack of exclusives.

KeenBean3451833d ago

N4G will probably still get these types of comments even if Microsoft churn out some great games next gen no doubt, they cant win even if they do something right with some people

blacktiger1833d ago

I hate microsoft but I agree with him, we need competitor to make sure everyone -plays fair rules otherwise corporation cant wait to win and then rip gamers off. Thats nothing new. We gamers need to stick together, regardless of my hatred against microsoft

NLink07141833d ago

Buying studios is just one step. The ethos at Microsoft has been making games as a vehicle for some other initiative. Case in point: forcing crackdown 3 as a means to highlight gamepass. For subscribers it’s an option...equivalent to Netflix streaming shovelware. It’s an option for sure but not a very good one. I do feel bad for those that actually forked out 60 for it.

Basically, I’m glad Microsoft is trying to improve their first party but I have a STRONG HESITATION about most of their first party content. Most of those studios don’t have a strong recent track record. I’ll watch and wait to see what they put out.

Will all those acquisitions change this generation?
Will they put "Xbox One" in first place?

I don't think so, maybe next generation things will be different, but that was my point.

Thundercat771833d ago

Buying studios and actually releasing good games are totally different things. You are assuming that by buying some studios, everything wrong with Microsoft is fixed and that's total BS.

SyntheticForm1833d ago

While I agree that it's generally better to be positive, I think that cautious optimism is what we should practice in regards to Microsoft.

The studio acquisitions don't necessarily mean a bunch of solid new IPs; Microsoft could do anything with those new studios. Let's not needlessly dump on Microsoft, but nobody should be popping any champagne either.

I know right, all this and controllers over games, well AAA anyway

Sgt_Slaughter1833d ago

Awesome color, there hasn't been a purple special edition since the N64 I believe. Shame about the Fortnite part of it though.

-Foxtrot1833d ago

Well I mean the Gamecube was purple from the get go so there's that

Sgt_Slaughter1833d ago

That's why I put special edition since that was the default for it

Funny that they still charge to play free to play games on xbox one. If you dont have live gold than youre SOL if you want to lay fortnite on xbox. you dont need plus or nintendo's online to enjoy this free game. Yet xboxone fans will worry more about sony not having cross play than to call MS out on this shady BS.

SyntheticForm1833d ago

I hear what you're saying, but fans and fanboys aren't the same thing.

TheSaint1833d ago

Anyone who downvotes cold hard facts is a fool.

CaptainCook1833d ago

Funny Sony charges for online cloud saves limited to 100gb, while Microsoft offers unlimited cloud saves that's not locked behind a paywall.

gangsta_red1832d ago

Who's down voting cold hard facts?

gangsta_red1832d ago

If Sony can offer free online for f2p with heavy microtransactions and loot boxes then why can't Sony offer free online for games user's actually pay for??

But Sony fans would rather keep talking about MS then call Sony out on that shady BS.

TheUndertaker851832d ago

Which turns very invalid as this bundle, the topic of the story, contains Xbox Live.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky3h ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu3h ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv7221h ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple10121h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo2h ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

andy853h ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

i didnt even know there was a leak ha.

Profchaos4h ago

Wasn't a short detailed leak about 12 hours prior it was hey there's going to be a astro bot a VR game and a few other things specified but massively underwhelming leak tbh

Goodguy011d 2h ago

Was it really worth it? Oof

Profchaos4h ago

For this state of play not at all

Relientk7723h ago

This is news to me. I had no idea the games from the State of Play got leaked.

Jin_Sakai15h ago

I seen the list posted and instantly got excited for Astro Bot. Everything else was meh.

CrimsonWing6915h ago

I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.

rayford1515h ago

I wasn’t disappointed it was a solid B

TOTSUKO13h ago

For a State of play it was actually alright. People are overshadowing it because they want to cancel Sony to high hell for Gaas which is not fair for the other devs who revealed great looking games that were just shown. I get it you don’t like gaas don’t buy it. If it sells well good for the people who had interest no big deal? If you are a PlayStation fan what’s wrong with PlayStation trying to cater every gamer? I don’t understand that smh

ravens5214h ago

Where Winds Meet and Ballad of Antara both looked good. Not to mention Astro Bot. It was a decent show. For me personally it was a 7. I'm sure to some people it was actually really good cause they'd play all those games. 🤷🏽 Personal taste

MrNinosan12h ago

I wasn't dissapointed.
And no, everyone doesn't want a Bloodborne Remake. There is probably very few who's actually asking for it, but the ones who do are loud on internet.

CrimsonWing6912h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Oh, my mistake. It’s definitely not one of the most requested games when it comes to remakes with news stories talking about it 🙄

https://comicbook.com/gamin...

https://www.gamingbible.com...

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/...

https://gamerant.com/fromso...

Silly me. It’s just a very few that are actually wanting it…

MrNinosan5h ago

@CrimsonWings69
And you just proved what I wrote.

If Bloodborne was remestered or remade, it would still sell less than Final Fantasy XVI or VII Rebirth, probably be called a great succes from it's core fans, but most wouldn't care.

I love Bloodborne, I want a new release of it, but it's niche and has sold crap compared to most of Playstation Studios bigger titles.

Astro Bot will sell and mean more to Playstation than a Bloodborne Remake.
