Re: Bethesda Games Are Looking Increasingly Unlikely on PS5

GigaGaia

It's not like Phil Spencer is a pathological liar who can't seem to shut up. Oh wait, that's exactly what he is. I am sorry, there is simply no way the least selling platform can make those 7.5 billions back with those games even if you include PC. Sony or Nintendo could, but Xbox is just too small of a brand to manage to do so. They will end up third place again and Sony will outsell them at least 2:1.

Beside, it's not like Phil would admit it anyway, it would make him look stupid if he did (well he already does look stupid, but it's another matter entirely).

Re: Reaction: PS5 Price Under Scrutiny After Disruptive Xbox Series S Reveal

GigaGaia

Microsoft blinked first, now the PS5 digital edition will definitely be $299. They can afford to lower it that much because they will make a lot more money on games this time around.

That's not without counting money made from accessories and subs, along with the money they will still make from PS4.

If the XSX is $499, it means the PS5 will be $399 or $449.

Sony can afford to lower their prices, they're the market leader.

Re: Talking Point: Could PS5 Be Delayed?

@I_Like_It It won't clear out in a heartbeat, just like every console launch, you will have a few hours. Of course, that's normally, Sony are making a lot more this time around, so you definitely have a few hours to get one.

Re: Bluepoint on PS5 Reveal: It's Time to Leave Our Old Gaming Limitations Behind

@thebakerswife They will probably do it like Shadow of the Colossus, but change some mechanics to make it more on par with the new games.

Yeah, Shadow of the Colossus is the same game, but it was definitely remade from the ground up, you can't have this much graphical improvement with a simple remaster. Plus they fixed the controls (well, not completely, it's still horrible in the controls department, just not as bad).

Re: GDC Set to Return This Summer Following Coronavirus Cancellation

@SaucyBrotato It's definitely not gonna last as long as pessimists think it will. With all the measures taken in North America, I think we're looking at 2-3 months top before our lives go back to normal. It took 4 months for China and they took forever to start taking precautions.

Also, this virus will never completely go away. It's part of this world now just like the influenza. It's new right now, but eventually, we'll understand it better and it won't be a big deal anymore.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Not Expecting PlayStation to Be at E3 2020

GigaGaia

Microsoft yet again talking out of their asses even though they don't know anything about Sony's plans. Last year, Sony already had announced they wouldn't be at E3 2019 by November 2018. If they weren't attending this year, I am pretty sure we would know by now and Microsoft wouldn't be the ones announcing it.

Re: PS5 Specs Leak Sends the Web into a Frenzy

GigaGaia

It's just a rumor and nothing is confirmed. DF doesn't know what they're talking about and they're now just another clickbait site that use fake rumor numbers to get clicks.

There is literally no specs confirmed for either the PS5 or Xbox Series X.

Re: Microsoft Wants to 'Surprise Sony' with Xbox Scarlett, Devkits are Reportedly Rare and 'Nowhere Near Final'

GigaGaia

Doesn't really matter if he is keeping his cards close to his chest, since the CPU and GPU are definitely locked at this point and we're way past the point of no return on those, so they can't be changed. The only thing that will differ from devkit to retail is ram and hard disk space.

Also, Sony is better at hardware when they try, so no, they will not be on equal footing, since there is a huge chance the PS5 will end up the most powerful one. The only time Xbox could claim it was more powerful is when they released a year later. Also Sony didn't really try with the PS4 Pro because they didn't need to, it was a quick cash grab for them. Meanwhile Microsoft went all out and it didn't even matter, since the PS4 not only still beat the crap out of Xbox One, but I am willing to bet the PS4 Pro also outsold the Xbox One X by a huge margin as well.
