Re: Xbox Game Pass Model Wouldn't Make Financial Sense For PS5, Says CEO Jim Ryan

@tinCAT-zero That's the joke. Horizon, Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima are the same game with a different setting, but functionally very similar and none do it as well as Zelda for my money, though I really enjoyed Spider-Man.

I own all the systems and a decent enough PC, I have no horse in this race, but Sony folks love running into other sites and starting fires. There's plenty of games to play on all the systems, but the reason I buy a PlayStation is for MLB, which isn't exclusive anymore.

Talk about the games in Xbox's showcase and saying you didn't think they looked good, but they're all available via Game Pass, so I don't have to make a large initial investment to even try it. I've put hundreds of hours into games I would never consider buying/playing before Game Pass, it's revolutionary. I need to find 1 game I really like every 4 months to make it a value with the cost of games rising, and I generally find a few a month I really like.

At the end of the day, if people are enjoying the games they're playing, what's it to you? For my money, the PS5 is not a next gen console based on the type of output it's giving. Can't play launch titles at 4K/30FPS is a very scary thing. Assassin's Creed is running at 4K/60FPS on the Series X. What types of concessions will they have to make for games in a couple years? They'll need to release a "Pro" version by 2022. No one has actually SEEN a working PS5 or the OS or anything. There's SO MANY red flags for the system right now, I'm not touching it. You're welcome to buy it and play God of War Ragnarok to your heart's content, won't make me enjoy Hellblade 2 less.

Sony is resting on it's laurels so far with the entire PS5 and certain people in this comments thread show there is a brand loyalty to them which some follow like a cult. The great leader tells no lies and does no wrong. They haven't done a player-friendly thing in years. Sony has no profitable business other than the PlayStation division, and it's starting to show how much they need it to survive as a company.

Re: Xbox Series X Has A Big Backwards Compatible Advantage Over PS5, Suggests Ubisoft

It's literally the reason I'm buying an Xbox Series X first. I need my 4K Blinx, SW: KOTOR, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, as well as those pretty pretty new textures for FF13. And Red Dead 1 looks like a full remaster on it. To play RDR1 on the PS4/5, I had to get PSNow and stream it, which ran HORRIBLY and looked like garbage. I'm a collector, so I have a lot of these games and I...still need to play them because I'm also an idiot.
