https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-does-resolution-really-matter yep no Damage Control... an editor from THE publication that do face-offs and focus a lot on resolution difference (which they used to declare X360 version superior on less than 80p difference, but on 720p vs 1080p is irrelevant) questioning the people that chose PS4 due to resolution and wants to prove resolution doesn't really matter. And you can look for much more from Leadbetter.

Theyre right, resolution doesnt actually matter. You cant go wrong with either console.

I don't think you actually read the article you linked. That, or you have a bias that simply couldn't allow you to get past the title of the article, despite anything you read inside of it. The article doesn't argue that resolution doesn't matter. The article argues that with the resolution gap closing (which it did, or at least it shrunk, the base Xbone will never perform on par with a PS4) developers are finding other ways to make their games look better, emphasizing things such as frame rate over increased resolution.

Where in here does he say that "720p vs 1080p is irrelevant"? I didn't see that anywhere in there, even if you want to take it completely as face value and ignore the many layers of substance he applies to the talk about resolution. He even has multiple developers and even someone from Pixar backing him up.

360 games were preferred in tech analysis videos for more than resolution. In fact, they were usually preferred for the very reasons he is arguing in this article. Better frame rates, better performance, better effects. Side by side comparisons done last gen often showed 360 versions with better lighting, better textures, better or more assets in certain areas. Which dating back to GTA IV and RDR, he always downplayed.

You keep harping on an 80p difference which must be referring to GTA IV, a game in which he gave the PS3 version a lot of praise and detailed multiple areas where it outperforms the 360. He clearly didn't care about the resolution then. Nor did he in RDR, where the gap IIRC was bigger. It was those other areas where PS3 versions struggled, as they were prone to do. By and large outside of resolution differences there was no large difference between Xbone and PS4 games when this gen started. Not that it mattered anyway, this very outlet you're accusing of bias still made tons of videos showcasing the most minute differences in the games which they then listed and declared PS4 versions superior, so where exactly does the bias come in?

I'm not going to reply on this any more, can't feed the conspiracy theories. Enjoy the last word, I'll just sit back and chuckle.

It was already planned for the Black Friday digital sale even before launch, so no, it doesn't confirm that it bombed. 

If we see the physical version drop below $60 on Friday then we can call it a bomb, as no sale on Fallout 76 was advertised for black friday at any of the retailers, which would mean the retailers added it at the last minute to clear out excess stock.

Playstation 4: 50 with 20 reviews

Xbox One: 52 with 12 reviews

PC: 55 with 19 reviews

Yeah, I think this game will stay around the 50s. Even reaching 60 will be difficult.

$40 at gmestop too now

OpenMeta went up to 55..... then dropped back down to 54.
So thread is correct again even if OP didnt update it :P

And thats even with a few scores that are in the high 70's and low 80's (which are way to generious).

Wasnt there a place where it was 5$ off via some methode ontop of that 40$ price too?
Not sure if its normal that a 60$ game, a week after release has deals all the way down to 35$.

But they showed off the PS4 way worse than the XB1s? Even if that probably has parts that run just as bad or worse?
I dont know how showing more footage of something running bad would be considered favortism.

I just notice they love to do that, to me it seems like they prefer xbox because of it.
Anyways crappy game is crappy... and hopefully alot of PS4 owners see this video and decide to skip it, and get a better game instead.

digital foundry just wants to get people to watch the videos. More people are going to watch videos if they say PS4 in the title then if they say Xbox one.  There is a very heavy incentive to use PS4 to get clicks, and no incentive whatsoever to make PS4 look bad. 

I'll respond to both of you since you asked a similar question. Yes, the solo experience is pretty good, especially if exploration was your favorite thing about previous Bethesda games. It's not as open and explore-able as previous Bethesda games, I have found some areas where the enemies are just too high level to explore, but it is still fairly generous with allowing you to explore in any direction right from the starting area up to a certain point. There are plenty of map locations to explore, mostly outdoor locations but I have found 3 locations with loading screens going into a cave or building. They stepped up the exploration lore compared to earlier games in order to compensate for not having voiced NPC's and side quests, there are even more notes and computer logs to find than prior Fallout games, as well as voiced holotapes you can find. I found alot of info about the early Brotherhood of Steel so far if the Brotherhood of Steel is something that you liked about previous games. 

You can't play offline but the other players aren't too obtrusive in my experience, the game only puts you into an instance with 20 or so other players and the map is 4 times bigger than Fallout 4's so you don't run into other players that often unless you you purposefully seek them out or unless they purposefully seek you out (everybody is visible on the map). As far as I can tell you have to enable PvP, people can't grief you by hunting you down, though you do get auto-flagged for PvP in certain areas or if you try to steal something from another players base. I believe you can disable voice chat for other players if you don't want their talking breaking your immersion. So all in all the solo experience is pretty good. 

I definitely recommend Fallout 76 for fans of Bethesda games, especially if the exploration aspect is your favorite thing about Bethesda games like it is mine. If not at release, definitely grab it later on down the line on sale. You can already get it for $40 in the XBL digital black friday sale this week.
