Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Someone who isn't tied to one console may wait until the Xbox One is released before spending more than retail on a PS4

EDGE interview with Gaijin Entertainment (War Thunder) Developers PS4 Exclusive
Why PS4?
Anton Yudintsev: Well the main thing is you need a lot of people in the game for online gaming to make your game successful. And Sony allows us to make cross-platform games for PS4 and they allow us to make simultaneous updates. We have a digital agreement; we can make simultaneous updates on PC and PS4. That means there will be a lot of players playing from day one. They will be on PC but [playing] with PS4 players. This is one thing. The second is that PS4 is so powerful, and the architecture is similar to PC, so it’s much easier to maintain simultaneous updates.

Does any of the things they’ve been saying in the last few months about self-publishing and patching and so on, does any of that change your attitude towards Xbox One?
AY: They need to stop talking and start basically doing something. Because right now you need to certify your servers with Microsoft, you need to make… it’s not yet clear if there will be updates. If you can’t make updates without Microsoft [approval] they ruin the idea of online gaming, basically. They’ve said there’ll be some kind of opportunity [for that] but haven’t yet said quite exactly how it’ll be working.
Kiril Yudsintsev: No cross-platform.
AY: No cross-platform is allowed on Xbox. Cross-platform multiplayer. So the Xbox One ecosystem will be small at the beginning of the cycle. I hope some day Microsoft will be there.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

So Amazon has upgraded my WatchDogs pre order release date to November 12. So guess that will be arriving before my PS4.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Yeah, that says more about MS than it does the statement itself. Anybody in the console business should at the very least recognize a names of AAA devs.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

So Amazon has applied the sales tax to my order. I contacted them via live chat and the rep said they were unable to remove the tax but that he/she would reduce the cost of the item to reflect the total price without tax. It has yet to update but I will give it some time.

EDIT: it has just updated, so guess for anyone else you can just contact them.

Indeed. My BF4 preorder still says Dec. 31, though. I imagine that ends up launching on the same date as WD?

That says nothing too me. You give me a rebuff by a Microsoft employee and reading his comments says nothing to refute what's been stated.
I'd rather hear from Devs who make games of course not every Dev will say this outloud or want to be identified because they do business with both Companies.

I think he was pointing to the fact that the MS rep was not aware of a AAA dev....and he should know who he is.

I preordered AC IV from GameStop in store and later got an e-mail saying it would be out on Oct. 29th.

Edit: just noticed that is the date for current gen version. Better double check to make sure they got my order right.

Yeah maybe I read it the wrong way? Should be fun watching the next couple of months. Eager to see what they can do with the Show on PS4.

I have no doubt they are going to blow us away with this year's game.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

From Forbes
"In talking to a developer who wished to remain anonymous, gamers will see a difference on Day One when they compare third party PS4 games to Xbox One head-to-head. The developer told me the PS4 is 40 percent more powerful than Xbox One and games like Call of Duty Ghosts will be noticeably different out of the gate."

"Need For Speed Rivals may look ‘a little’ better on one next-gen console than the other"

http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/need_for_speed_rivals/news/need_for_speed_rivals_may_look_a_little_better_on_one_next-gen_console_than_the_other.html

Seems to me the tables may be turned in Gen4 and maybe the crappy Playstation Ports may come to an end.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I hope so, Sony might be one of the dumbest companies not named EA in the world. I wouldn't even touch playstation anymore if they didn't have a few exclusive titles I liked.
