Central thread to clear up Sony's confusing PR

The value of Gamepass is sky high. Instead of buying 2 games for 160 bucks just subscribe to Gamepass for the same price.

OneBadMutha:

…e part of competing and has openly asked if Microsoft should match. Problem with comparing Tweets spread 6 years apart, they’re missing a lot of context. Personally I don’t want Microsoft diluting investment that could go towards 1st party or Game Pass content with moneyhats. Back to Sonys messaging, we’ve rightfully called out Microsoft for being messy with theirs. Sony deserves heat for this one. Not just doing a 180. I can handle that. I’m still foggy about too many things due to contradictory messaging. Not sure what to trust at this point. To me “pro consumer” doesn’t start with a price or exclusitivy. It starts with transparency and understanding of what I’m getting and what my options are. I’m not feeling a pro consumer foundation with what appears to be intentionally muddy messaging.

Fair enough, Sony’s offer is not clear enough indeed too suspicious

I have game pass ultimate, but I like to buy the games I love to support the devs usually.

Plus there is games that come out, that are not on game pass, that take my fancy, but I’d be less likely to take a gamble on them now, if they come out at £70.

Confirmation and stuff is okay but i am never believing Jim Liar

The_Xboxer · September 17, 2020, 9:15am

Something not right, right?

The_Xboxer · September 17, 2020, 9:19am

How can you believe them seriously

No-1HoloLens-Fan · September 17, 2020, 9:50am

What’s the difference in full exclusive and console exclusive.

Is it about game coming on PS4 console or eventually coming to Xbox?

No-1HoloLens-Fan · September 17, 2020, 9:53am

Yeah!

I read there tweeter post.

For XSX - it was mentioned as full RDNA 2 and compared to rx 6000 series.

For PS5 - it was mentioned as Radeon pro and Zen powered console.

Quite hilarious to be honest.

It’s a words Play or not - my doubts on PS5 being full rdna2 are just growing and growing.

Then take that as more proofs for you

No-1HoloLens-Fan · September 17, 2020, 10:10am

I am aware of the engineer. He had delete his post later on.

The_Xboxer · September 17, 2020, 10:18am

Doesn’t change the fact that he said that lol at least we can keep it as proofs for later to check with the PS5 teardown, if they do it as Cerny promised…

The FFXVI delay works well for Xbox if FFXV’s release was anything to go by

The_Xboxer · September 17, 2020, 10:37am

You mean with the patches and all? Possible

It is the FFXIV team behind I’m expecting a great epic game

FairyEmpire · September 17, 2020, 11:33am

Both FFXIV and FFXV took a while to become legitimately interesting. Feels like waiting a year won’t harm the Xbox experience at all - on the contrary.

Yesterday, Sony did great job advertising the insane value of Game Pass, and validated XBox strategy for the start of this generation.

Glad Eurogamer is calling Sony out: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-17-ps5-is-a-surefire-hit-but-sonys-broken-promises-are-eroding-trust

They make a real good point about the controller thing too.

" In August, Sony confirmed the PS4 Dualshock won’t work with PS5 games. Explaining its decision, Sony said it believed “PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller”.

Well, if Spider-Man: Miles Morales is coming out on PS4, why can’t you play it on a PS5 with a DualShock?"
