| Fei-Hung said: I think the biggest issue here is the lack of theology, expecting the worst, console wars turn mole hills into mountains and that leads to both MS and Sony getting hung for it. From a theology perspective, both MS and Sony said the same thing. Believing in generations doesn't mean you don't or can't support new / old generations. We don't believe in generations don't mean you won't have exclusives. But people will argue what they want it to mean and neither of these two companies is stupid enough to spend resources correcting people everytime someone miss understands. 1) Every gen has had cross gen games for a period of time, so let's not act like it's anything new. 2) The argument of graphics being held back can't be made unless it's physically visible e.g halo infinite. I wouldn't argue the same for HFW as it don't look anything like a PS4 game in any way shape or form. MM we however know it's more of a TLOU Remastered thing, and even then it's got a bunch of stuff that will be added that's only possible on a next gen console. I mean how do you decide that a game is built for next gen? Ground up means nothing as games were built for current gen when it was new that didn't take advantage of current hardware when it was new. So are these games now considered last gen?! How many games took advantage of the DS4 speakers, light, touchpad in a meaningful way, the gyro and the ability to broadcast the game with the ability for viewers to interact?! The X1sx and Ps5 will have a ton of new features and not every dev, even if exclusive to the next gen only, will not take advantage of every feature, or sometimes maybe even half the features. There are lazy devs like the EA Sports lot who will churn out shit every year with tiny upgrades probably. The cross gen argument mostly is a 1st world tantrum throwing contest. Gamers no longer have thick skin and seem to cry like footballers like everything can hurt us at the slightest touch. Everything angers us / upsets is, we are becoming toxic and so reactionary, it sucks the joy out of being part of the community sometimes. |
Well said.
As or the bolded post... I sincerely think it's due to anonymity. I think that fuels some of the vilest behavior you see on the internet. There is a reason where mediums, where you are forced to use your real name generally, has much nicer comments lol.
