Call of Duty: Ghosts Producer Mark Rubin was interviewed today by Metro, and the interview took a rather weird turn as he was asked about the difference between Xbox One and PS4, with Rubin and a PR representative almost literally at a loss for words, and not because they didn’t want to respond.
Interestingly enough, Rubin mentioned that he thinks John Carmack and Shinji Mikami are "a bit inaccurate" when saying that the two platforms are almost identical. He also mentioned that he doesn't know if the power gap will ever close.
Veteran video game developer Shinji Mikami has established a new company.
That’s according to a bio of the developer on the new Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered website, which claims that Mikami has recently founded ‘Kamuy Inc’.
No details further details on the company have been shared. There is also no indication of what the company will do.
Shinji should never stop making games. Kinda crazy he left the funding of M$ though.
I remember when it was announced that he was leaving Tango, someone on N4G claimed that he was old and it was time for him to retire.
I couldn't help but laugh at the ignorance. Mikami (like most Japanese people), do not want to work for Microsoft, they want their games to be played by their fellow citizens, which means Switch, Playstation, and PC. But this fool couldn't comprehend that. 🤣
Was waiting for his return announcement, glad to see that he's back! Please don't make mobile games.
I hope it's still survival horror
They should build on what they did with Evil Within for a new IP and take notes from the Evil Within sequel with those open hub areas.
Wouldn't mind if it was like Resident Evil but with a vampire virus instead.
Yeah this man's skills need a new start to thrive. Hope he keeps doing what he loves. Wonder what his next project is.
An update on the release of XDefiant from Mark Rubin!
Been real hungry for a more simple multiplayer fps for a long time. I really dislike all the hero shooters we keep getting. I'll definitely give this a shot and if it ends up crap then it ends up crap.
How broken is the game when Sony and MS failed certification? And they still think it may fail and planning on a day 1 patch, somebody was slacking.
The game has pretty bad issues in the open beta. It's a shame because a f2p proper fps is needed at the moment.
Ubisoft dev Mark Rubin tells us how Call of Duty rival XDefiant will defy player expectations with its maps and thrilling multiplayer gameplay.
That was a very telling interview.
Scroll to the part where the interviewer asks about Why the resolution of Ghosts is 1080p and PS4 and 720p on Xbox One. You'll be left with no doubt in your mind concerning which console is better.

"He also mentioned that he doesn't know if the power gap will ever close."
If its open this much at the start of the gen, its only going to get bigger especially in terms of 1st party exclusives (the devs that get the most of out each of their respective consoles).
Maybe they have said it comparing PS4/X1 to Ultra High end computers or such.
I think this whole "They are Almost Identical" thing is just developers not wanting to get involved yet until they see what platform there next gen game sells better on.
Carmack is an absolutely xbox fanboy !
