@AndroidBango 100 mbps internet is not terrible fast or great with multiple devices in the house. I would see what the price would be in your area to upgrade to 300 or even a gig if they have it
@Fiendish-Beaver A bulk of a major releases sales are during the initial 6 months, the GOTY edition with all the DLC and patches never outsells they first initial launch of a game
To stay on topic though - I think Sea of Thieves is a far superior game to Skull and Bones and will find a big audience on the PS5. With proper cross play and well maintained servers it can make the PVP very fun with a nice boost of life to the game.
@kedireturns 12 hours for a rechargeable controller without a user replaceable battery is still terrible. The Xbox Controllers give you the choice of 40 hrs per 2-AAs or a User Replaceable Rechargeable battery pack which also get about 30 hours. They even allow third party rechargeable batteries.
Also the Playstation Pro Controller has way worse battery life than the original PS5 controllers. I don't mind symmetry but having my thumbs so close to each other and having to reach backwards instead of down or up for my buttons and d-pad is not comfortable to me and many others. That's why many don't mimic the playstation controller layout.
@Nalverus Of the big three Microsoft has the pockets to let their developers experiment and try new things. Sony can't afford to have too many of their 1st party offerings stray from the path because a couple big bombs could hurt them financially very badly.
@Shushibda I'm not getting upset, but you honestly have no Playstation upcoming exclusives you can name. Sony themselves said they have no big titles coming out in the entirety of 2024.
@GotRedOnMe73 Minecraft is a Microsoft game and succeeded on the other two systems. Also Ori and the Blind Forest went to the Switch did well and nothing more came out of
Could you imagine doing something as freeing and creative as making music and deciding to go to the boring, restrictive awfulness of having a political career?
@Rmg0731 Sony's only profitable division is the Playstation one, but their layoffs help offset they struggling divisions. Microsoft is worth a bundle but their Xbox division is struggling so again streamlining their gaming offices makes sense.
@rustyduck Given their recent track record I am not holding my breath that outlaws won't be terrible too. I am still shocked Skull and Bones was released at all
@EvilSilentFrame I think Rockstar would get heavily investigated if they tried to lay off staff. We know they are absolutely swimming in money and have made record profits for over a decade
@Sanquine To Monopolize the gaming industry don't you have to be in first place at least, or even 2nd place? The Xbox is getting crushed in console sales. Even after the acquisition of Activision they haven't righted the ship and started kicking Sony into the dirt...yet.
@Sanquine Just because Sony's other divisions are bleeding them of money and they constantly make bad business decisions doesn't mean they should be looked into less than Microsoft
@GeorgeKal You are splitting hairs to win a weird argument. It was months away from being stopped. The Switch has enough power to run Hi-Fi Rush at 60 fps get over it.
@ShadowofTwilight Hi-Fi rush is a $30 game, and still an Xbox published game. Xbox has laid off most of their physical game department. Limited Run games may make it for the Switch but even then I doubt it really.
@GeorgeKal The Switch is an active system getting new games, the Xbox One has stopped development. So yes the Switch can easily run a game with zero textures at 60 fps
@GeorgeKal There are several games that play at 60 fps on the Switch, and the Pro Controller exists. I feel a celshaded title will not struggle on the Switch

Re: Xbox Exclusive Trends Online Ahead Of Nintendo's Partner Showcase

You are splitting hairs to win a weird argument. It was months away from being stopped. The Switch has enough power to run Hi-Fi Rush at 60 fps get over it.
Re: Xbox Exclusive Trends Online Ahead Of Nintendo's Partner Showcase
@ShadowofTwilight
Hi-Fi rush is a $30 game, and still an Xbox published game. Xbox has laid off most of their physical game department. Limited Run games may make it for the Switch but even then I doubt it really.
Re: Xbox Exclusive Trends Online Ahead Of Nintendo's Partner Showcase
@GeorgeKal
The Switch is an active system getting new games, the Xbox One has stopped development. So yes the Switch can easily run a game with zero textures at 60 fps
