Hi, let’s have a reasonable discussion :) First off I think it’s almost certain fans on both sides will be comparing the two conferences, especially their 1st party offerings. Been done since ancient times and that’s not gonna change anytime soon. Secondly, it can’t be about quality because the games aren’t out. We don’t know the metacritic. So at this point it’s about quantity, as in which company has the most games I want to play. You can’t really mention Grounded anymore in that tone with Sony showing their own cartoony style smaller games. It’s a two way street. As for the other games some were what you said like Rachet and Horizon 2. The others, now this is just my opinion but based on my own impressions and what Twitter is showing, games like Spiderman and GT don’t strike me as built from the ground up on PS5. Spiderman was confirmed to be a expansion to the 2018 game right? So it’s built off the base game and likely limited to PS5 to drive demand (because after all its spiderman). GT7, and I’ll tread lightly here, there’s been screens and gifs that show slight pop in and less then optimal textures. https://twitter.com/akahmiii/status/1271948365924667392?s=21 https://twitter.com/ashtreygaming/status/1271762309111779328?s=21 https://twitter.com/akahmiii/status/1271663996152627202?s=21 To show I’m not being baseless and trolling. You are entitled to your opinion but I personally am skeptical that all the launch window games are taking full advantage. But other then that, I would recommend to stop talking about Forza or Halo being not cross gen. You know it and so do i. It’s not gonna happen. It’s cross gen and that’s how it’s going to be. Whether you choose to take it as it is on console or Pc is your call but please let’s drop the persona in this regard thanks. |
Sure, lets try that :)
I think the big difference here is that Sony has a proven track record. They've been basically hitting out of the park with their exclusives for over a decade now, while MS has failed to launch a single successful new ip since Gears 1. Obviously, there were some good games like Ori and I'm sure we'll see a lot of cool smaller scale titles in July. But that simply aren't the type of games that will move a lot of next-gen consoles.
Sony's also has those smaller scale titles and their launch lineup probably isn't going to be perfect either. However, everybody knows the bombs from their 1st party studios will come later. With MS we just don't know and they have a lot to prove, especially now that Gears and Halo don't have the kind of pull they had a decade ago. I also can't blame anyone for thinking MS is all talk and no action. For years we've been hearing about the Initiative and they still only have 44 people working there. How do we know a studio that is specialized in making racing games can also make a great RPG? Why are all their major studios making indie titles or RTS pc games? Loads of question there and MS needs to show in July that they're truly committed to Series X and next gen console gaming.
