Nintendo is obviously the guilty one with this since they have been having this “shortage” issue with just about everything for, oh say, 15 years lol. I don’t buy there BS excuses over and over. You are either creating artificial scarcity or you are just so unbelievably inept at production/planning that you can’t figure out demand and should fire the entire executive team.
I agree tho with you. I don’t think Sony and Microsoft are faking it this time. There is the global se...
I'm not alone. IGN peeps saying the same. The colors are messed up. Washed out, grey, loses the pop. It's definitely way worse.
Apparently Treyarch and Sledgehammer never heard of optimizations...
I'm not an Xbox hater. Mine came today. But yea, that Halo Infinite demo was fucking bad. I dunno how the hell they thought that was ok to show...
Did find it funny he got canned like a month after the reveal lol.
But yea Steve Balmer also was a piss poor leader. Under his guidance, Microsoft bombed out of the gaming and phone markets.
The new CEO and Phil seem to have righted the ship. Xbox took a bath last gen. I also thought they were gonna throw in the towel. It seemed like they weren't even trying.
Insomniac was always one of my fav studios. BUT why does the remaster of Spidey 1 look worse? Wtf is up with the color and lightning? PS4 Pro version looks way better. Dafaq?

Uncharted 1 was not a launch title. It was a year later. PS3 launch was 2006, U1 was 2007.
Just pointing that out.
This gen will be exciting simply because Microsoft is actually being competitive this time.
Last gen, I dunno wtf happened with Microsoft. They acted like they gave up. Sony steamrolled them so hard. But this gen with 23 studios, the most powerful console, GamePass, and Bethesda, it's a pretty even fight now.
As a guy who gets both consoles, and doesn't shill for a corporation who doesn't give a damn about you, all I can say is I am pumped to ...
PS5 at launch and then Series X I'll grab in a year when there is games for it.
I always get both and skip Nintendo, which just ain't my thing :D
I prefer PlayStation over Xbox, but I do always wind up getting both. Nintendo I always leave out in the cold. Not my thing. At. All. Lol.
I find it weird that Sony fans like to use the "they have nothing to play but old/backward compatible games" yet say "we got a PS3 remake for launch! We have exclusives you don't!"
All, I can do is facepalm.
Insomniac is my favorite studio. Their games are just so much fun. I will die on the hill defending Resistance as one of the most underated franchises of all time.
Naughty Dog and Guerilla get all the the love, but Insomniac to me makes the most "fun" games.
I hope now that they are finally first party and with Spiderman being their most commercially successful game yet, that they finally get the attention and respect they deserve.
The only good Xbox exclusive was Sunset Overdrive which was criminally underated. Dead Rising is like a C tier franchise and Ryse was DOA. Forza, not my thing. But fair point.
To be fair, Xbox isn't a console anymore it is a platform. Microsoft goal is GamePass. Doesn't matter what you play on, as long as you are playing Xbox Games. That is where they are going. Netflix for Games, anywhere you want.
Well I didn't get the 360 at launch so I can't really say, I was like 15 lol. But the Xbone had nothing it's entire lifetime. PS4 there was atleast Killzone Shadow Fall. Amazing? No? But it was a decent launch title and it was at least something, you know?
My main thing is, if the exclusives never showed up during the Xbone lifecycle, how do we know they actually will this time? I have both consoles preorderd and I'm literally stumped as to which one I will ...
Xbox as a brand is frustrating. I'm not hating on it. I'm just saying I was a big Xbox fan in the 360 days, they have been in freefall since like 2011. I didn't even get the Xbox One and switched to the PS4. The lack of games made it uncompetitive and uninteresting.
They did so good back then but they have lost their way. I don't understand why they haven't fixed this exclusive situation and it's been almost a decade.
It's a bu...
I've seen this argument pop up a bunch and it is seriously flawed.
The low spec console won't hold back the high spec console AT ALL. This is no different than a game being built on the PC having low settings versus ultra settings. That is exactly how the game will be coded.
The reason you never saw many take advantage of the extra horsepower is just being lazy. It would be like building a multiplatform that runs the same on both a PS4 and an Xbox...
As an Xbox guy, Microsoft needs to bring the exclusives this gen or just throw in the towel. I'm talking proper AAA 90+ metacritic games. C tier stuff like State of Decay or Crackdown, or B tier stuff like Sea of Thieves, Quantum Break ain't gonna cut it. The tail end of the 360 and the entirety of the Xbone was a barren wasteland of exclusives.
*Fingers crossed* I really want to see them succeed.
It is weird to review a console itself lol.
Either way. Mine is coming next week. I think Microsoft will bring it this gen. Last gen they got bent over.
20$ for the expansion is fine. 10 for the PS5 update is bull of the highest order.
