Hype for new boxes like XBOX one or Ps4 and exclusive titles.
Yesterday I stood up till 5 in the morning just to watch all of the E3 live streams.
I enjoyed watching them especially EA´s stream.
I heard about the hype around the boxes and the statement twice the processing power of a modern high end PC...
I got angry not only because that’s the biggest Lie that came to my Ears in years but what shocked me the most was that almost everyone was swallowing it up...
How can a Game like Dead Rising 3 for example ( what is also a Xbox one exclusive ) lag that much, or look like it’s not even reaching 30FPS at some spots on a live presentation and be better than a modern PC?
Same goes for the PS4.
The PS4 is currently up for pre-purchase for 399 Euros# Xbox one is 499 euros.
Now please how can a station that is 500 euros compete with a modern High end PC?
These folks claiming things like twice the processing power like a modern PC, must still live in 2002 and someone needs to tell them that it is mid-2013.
500 euros is the worth of my PC case and half of my MOBO... my GFX card is more expansive than the whole console...
I used to play a lot of ps3 or Xbox with friends but this time I don’t want to ride along of this false claim better path just to see better graphics in ported games for PC
( what is mainly the only reason I did in the past and because there was no pc around )
I was really thrilled to see new consoles since they lead to better Games in general as well as better looking PC games in the end considering almost each game is a port nowadays.
But then again there is companies that release triple A titles for a specific console only! The exclusives
I do not know what these company’s think - when they decided to release a game that is expected on all of the platforms especially PC
and then make it an exclusive on the third game. Someone must have had paid enough so the company just says “ F “our Fanbase.Otherwise i can´t explain such a move to myself.
Especially I don’t understand why such a decision gets made if the company had its breakthrough on the PC.
I know that’s marketing to push the sales of the boxes but then don’t expect your base of your customers to be happy about that.
Of course you will receive a lot of hate on such a move – hate should be expected when you make a decision like that.
But most company´s even the one I’m talking about will get very mad when you tell them in a formal way that the decision made is not very well seen by the rest of the market or followers fan base.
This ending in a permaBan is the most funny part. '
When I look at this from the perspective of a bystander banning someone that followed you from your very first title someone that knows all your stuff and replied to you in a correct manner about the topic ( a supporter of your company for over 12 years ) receiving a permanent ban for openly speaking its mind about the platform hype just shows “excuse my mouth” what assholes run the show.
So to most of the exclusive box releasing company’s I have the same wish as the gentleman I was mentioning above
I wish your company a lousy start on the new consoles and a Fail on your hype and false claims.
To all of the others at E3 I wish you a good start on the new stations and hope to see better Games in the near Future. Company’s like Dice I wish the very best since the BF4 preview looked incredible ( bouse ! )
I made a pre-order right after the stream was done ![]()
Also Ubi-Montreal for Watch Dogs I wish the very best , I hope you steal the other high horse pony turn back on main platform company the show. Also pre-ordered ![]()
Square Enix and Final Fantasy< looked amazing and seemed to be fun…gosh there were so many good games to mention
Tom Clanys The Division is an exclusive title also but that’s mostly the case for them until it’s a year old so no hard feelings on that.. the concept looked very nice
Starwars Battlefront looked stunning as well as Titanfall - Destiny and more I would go and preorder these aswell sadly that is not possible yet.
I hope you guys that play on consoles only do not take this post the wrong way, but as a PC gamer since the age of 8 I’m hard to convince that a station with the system specs giving out is BETTER than a modern HIGH end PC.
I build rigs myself and if I compare the specs there is no way for a station to be better than a HIGH END pc.
The only way it could be more fluid on a station than on a PC is that it’s a lousy port.
Again I want to make clear that I don’t hate consoles neither of them I think it’s a good solution for Gamers that don’t have the money or time to upgrade every year to play bad ported games on a PC.
But I can not swallow up a Lie like that without at least giving some feedback to some that don’t realize that its not the truth.
Sony and especially MS should know that it is not needed to make claims like that to sell the stations they will pretty much sell itself- And I hope that statements like that will be left out the next time since there is no need to make the new generation of customers believe that a station is better than the most powerful platform of all time.
I was once told you don’t Diss what made you.
