Sony vs Microsoft: 5 things the Xbox One can do that the PS4 can't

Reply Agree 18 Disagree 15

_-EDMIX-_2734d ago

Lol 4. It's really important Microsoft is not doing their fans any favors by continuously rehashing the same intellectual properties while not investing in new intellectual properties with their main Studios.

We don't need for Halos and for Gears of War or anything like that nothing stopping those two Studios from making a new intellectual property as well as continuing to work on existing.

Other than Microsoft fear of new things. They always have one foot in and one foot out there's always something with them in regards to new intellectual properties in which they always have these half measures either they don't own the team they don't own the intellectual property or they're not publishing or something it's extremely rare you have it but Microsoft has one of their main teams making a new intellectual property.

Something like sea of Thieves is extremely rare by Microsoft in the reality is it shouldn't be that should be a normal thing they do every single generation and continue to support those Concepts as opposed to only desperately reverting back to the same old established properties it tells me that they are OK with their safe space and don't feel comfortable venturing out to new and risky properties in my opinion I would like it if they failed a dozen times at least trying something new then succeeded a hundred times with the same crap.

I think it's awesome that we got a Killzone and infamous this generation I think it's cool we're getting a God of War but I could say that when we're getting days gone , Horizon zero Dawn and a Spider-Man game and knowing that it's confirmed that sucker punch is working on a new intellectual property.

So no Xbox Collective I'm not saying never release Halo or Never released Gears of War because Sony still has Killzone and they still have Infamous yet those same two Studios that created those two games are both confirmed to be making new intellectual properties , is there a reason why Microsoft can't do the same? They're not doing anyone any favors making the same crap thrown up over and over again nothing's wrong with making Halo but let the team make something different for God's sake so once in awhile at least support two different intellectual properties I would be completely fine if we only got 2 Halos a generation as well as 2 brand new property by that same developer at least give them some breathing room and bring some new consumers into your Market.

DarthJay2734d ago

Could you have picked a worse example than Gears Of War and Halo to ask if those studios can do something else? The Coalition just made their first ever Xbox game in Gears Of War 4. 343 Industries has only made two Halo games, with their third coming next year. You do understand that Bungie and Epic are, in fact, making something "different" now right?

You can't blame Microsoft for sticking with certain franchises WHEN SONY DOES THE SAME DAMN THING. Lets see Sony go a whole generation with NOTHING BUT NEW IPS & NO PREQUELS OR SEQUELS OR SPIN OFFS I bet you neither would do that. You can't harp on Microsoft for something that Sony does as well

You make some realistic points.... But to respond...

Naughty dog made more than just UC... TLOU for example... A totally new ip
So are Gorilla Games with the upcoming Horizon.
As for Insomniac, Resistance to R&K, to Sunset OD on the one...

I question with why 343 or the coalition had to do what was already done by different studios.
Don't get me wrong... Ill buy Geow when I upgrade my PC GPU, but I see what could of been new IP's, now a missed opportunity

Gee Crotaa, that's because for every sequel, there's a new IP.

_-EDMIX-_2734d ago (Edited 2734d ago )

@darth- they also cancelled a triple A first-person shooter that was a brand new intellectual property to essentially do an intellectual property that's been established so I would say they are a good example to bring up as they literally stopped production on something new to create something old , it's exactly what we're talking about.

@Cro- it's okay I understand you didn't read the remainder of the post it's not for you anyway if you understand what's being stated you also understand how irrelevant your post actually is where did I stayed never create those intellectual properties? In fact I'm the one that even brought up their existence on PlayStation 4 in the first place but what I stated was that those same teams are still making new intellectual properties that's actually the point I'm trying to make never once that I say don't make Halo or don't make gears in fact I say that several times that that's not the case the problem is the fact that those are only being created by those teams.

I'm not really sure how clear I need to make myself regarding that I don't really care but they continue to make Forza or Horizon because I understand those are static intellectual properties you're not really going to have a racing team always making something new and that's completely understandable.

Agree 9 Disagree 3

_-EDMIX-_2734d ago

@therand- I don't understand? Do you guys seriously have a literacy issue? Nowhere in my post of my saying don't create those intellectual properties several times I even go 4th to State continue to create them what I'm saying is they can't be the sole thing that this company is creating with those teams.

You're desperately trying to make it in either or situation as if they either have to go all new or zero and that doesn't make any sense and that was actually never the point but you want it to be the point to make it sound as if it's an easy solution as if there's no winner or loser but that's not what's going on here but nice straw man attempt anyway.

The point was that Sony continues to create new intellectual properties with their main teams every single generation without skipping a beat or Microsoft always has a specific number of teams essentially exclusively working on the same intellectual properties every single generation.

For god sakes the team that's making Gears of War canceled and new Triple-A intellectual property simply to work on an established on their team is even named after something from Gears of War just to give you any indication that they're kind of permanently want them just working on that.

This is not trying to downplay or make Xbox look dumb if you love Xbox you should be wanting new properties just as much you're not getting any favors by Microsoft not making new intellectual properties with their core teams.

Nobody stated it had to be this either or or this all or nothing other than you like I stated in my original post which it's starting to sound like you never actually read Sony how to killzone and Infamous this generation the same teams are making new intellectual properties is there a reason why Microsoft cannot do the same?

Please stop trying to have this weird defensive thing where you're trying to fight everything being stated because I can't really see in what world that this is hurting you in fact what I'm suggesting is trying to help you, 343 having 2 Halos along with 2 intellectual properties helps you, collation having two Gears of War as well as to intellectual properties but they always work on helps you as well.

How is that bad?

Nothing's wrong with having Killzone nothing's wrong with having Infamous nothing's wrong with having Uncharted but that's nothing to most PlayStation consumers when they know they're also getting Horizon zero Dawn, days gone, naughty dog's other team is confirmed to be making a new intellectual property as well as Sucker Punch that's actually the point that I'm trying to bring up that you guys look like you're desperate to avoid discussing like the plague.

And look what they had to do in order to get to that point; Bungie had to buy its way out of being a first party Microsoft studio. Epic sold its rights to Gears of War. Bungie now has a choice.

You NEED to be online some of the time with xbone. You can't update the OS and therefore can't play new games unless you go online to update.

Sony is kind enough to include required OS updates on the game disc that requires them. You can be totally offline at all times with PS4 and still use it, with xbox, no.

nitus102733d ago

@343_Guilty_Spark

For your No 1 point: The XB1 was supposed to be always online, then online every 24 hours then not online only when Microsoft realised that gamers did not like this and voted with their wallet.

For your No 2 point:
a) BC is a great value added feature and will sell consoles but only at the start of the consoles release not two years down the time track. This has been proven with PS4 sales being almost twice as many as those of the XB1.
b) HDR - All PS4's have HDR. Only the XB1s has HDR.
c) UHD-Bluray - What has this to do with games? All PlayStation disk players are used to play or install games.
d) Updates are there to fix things. Having them monthly or every few months is irrelevant.
e) Ah yes! the Scorpio. Well enjoy your one year wait.

For your No 3 point: I suppose that's fine if it is important to you.

For your No 4 point: There are quite a few Japanese games being developed and some are even multiplatform.

For your No 5 point: I usually use Google or "DuckDuckGo" but I won't hold it against you if you use Bing.

Deadpooled2734d ago (Edited 2734d ago )

All of them are garbage, nowadays I resort to looking up online on many sources of topics (eg the US Election) to see the differing arguments and make my own viewpoint. The rise of social media (and exposing the BS easily) is now helping people make their own minds up and not just resorting to whichever paper one wants to stick with. The Guardian (may be referred to in parts as the 'Grauniad') regularly leaves out important information to stories to leverage their neo-liberal opinions, the Sun are full of sensationalist BS (eg the kind of sensationalism Kotaku uses but much worse), the Times and Independent do the same as the Guardian and are liberal but nowhere near as bad as the Grauniad (the Independent tried to make a cheaper newspaper that tried to get both left and right wing viewpoints in but the paper quickly failed, largely due to it not being free like the Metro), the Mirror are poor and at times are trying to be like the News of the World (which got done over by courts for phone tampering and other illegal methods to get sensationalist news stories and has since been shut down), and the Metro (although being free on UK buses) used to be fair but in recent years has resorted to sensationalism to get bus travelers to pick up their papers. The Telegraph is typical pro Tory (Conservatives) right wing but does deviate depending on what is being backed by the Conservatives (eg left wing refugee propaganda and joining in parts with the left wing papers in hiding what *really* goes on at Calais, unless forced to mention it after being made common by other sources (social media etc)), the daily... whatever they call themselves I don't bother with, and the Daily Mail (no explanation needed).

They have taken quite a few risks. Zoo Tycoon, Ryse, Scream ride, Quantum Break, Ori, Crimson Dragon, Recore, Sunset Overdrive all off the top of my head. They all pretty much flopped, which cements the fact that they were risky investments.

Unfortunately for MS, Gears 4 and Forza Horizon 3 don't wipe that slate clean.

As for the article, I haven't read it but it sounds like uninformed trash. Certainly stirred up the hive though.

showtimefolks2734d ago

Tank

But it's not on ms, it's on Xbox gamers who don't buy these other titles

Xbox and Nintendo fans are the same. They will buy the same 3-5 exclusives over and over while passing on other great sometimes good games

Sunset overdrive is a great game yet sales didn't make any impact

Halo
Gears
Forza

If ms were to put the same effort into other games and invest same money for advertisement than they will be the same. But ms will keep depending on same games over and over

Forza doesn't even sell much

Agree 7 Disagree 1

TankCrossing2734d ago

I wasn't really pointing fingers or blaming anyone. Just challenging the rhetoric that they don't take risks with some clear examples to show that they do, and that they haven't particularly paid off. Those titles run the gamut from cheap and cheerful to high budget. Sea of Theives and Scalebound are still in the pipeline too, and success is far from certain for those.

Agreed on Sunset Overdrive, it was good fun and definitely the outstanding title on that list imo. I can't wait to see what Insomniac pull of with Spider-man.

_-EDMIX-_2733d ago

How substantial are these risk? How many of those did you mention that they actually own the intellectual property to? How many of those did they even on the team to? I don't know find those Ventures "risk" considering the majority of them have been half measures this is what I'm talking about, when I say this company does not take risk, it's always one foot in and one foot out.

I don't know if I would to find many of those risk, I would say Quantum break being the biggest considering the cost but even with that they don't own the main Team to.

The fact that a team like Bungie left them is telling , could you imagine if Microsoft allowed them to create Destiny? They would have had Destiny and Halo but in my opinion that's how it's supposed to be, let your teams move on and create different properties this only helps you, instead Microsoft scared of taking such a risk now Activision now has this ridiculously popular franchise.

No risk ' no reward and I believe Microsoft is completely stupid to ignore one of the best teams in first-person shooting when it's clear they want to create something do if Sony was like Microsoft for all we know Horizon zero Dawn could have been an Electronic Arts game.

TankCrossing2733d ago (Edited 2733d ago )

I don't know the budgets for those titles Edmix. How much more money should they have invested into Screamride or Recore to make them more successful? How many new IPs this gen have a budget comparible to Quantum Break?

Your own example of how Microsoft should take a risk is that they could have got Bungie to make a sci-fi FPS? Really?

Do these people that write these articles even game at all or spend any time with the consoles they write about? It's kinda scary knowing that the people that write articles like this are reviewing games.

1. Backwards Compatibility

I'll give you that. Do I think it's as big of a deal as people make it out to be? No but it's a cool feature. I won't deny that.

2. Voice Commands

PS4 has voice commands as well. I would know.. I have the damn camera and used them with camera before. The funny thing is that you don't even need the camera to use them either. You can actually use anything that has a built-in mic to use voice commands on PS4 which I've also done..

3. Cross-Platform Windows 10 Support.

Ugh.. you can game with Windows 10 PC players on PS4 as well? Street Fighter 5, Paragon, Final Fantasy XIV are 3 examples of this.

4. Watch TV While gaming

Yes, PS4 doesn't have that feature however my TV does. I can actually do this on my TV while in PIP mode and a lot if not most HDTV's have a PIP mode but I digress.

5. Exclusive Games

Doesn't the PS4 have games that you can only experience on PS4 like Uncharted 4, Rachet & Clank, MLB The Show, Bloodborne, Infamous Second Son, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last Guardian, etc?

This has to be the dumbest article I've ever read. I'm ashamed of the author for actually posting this but I'm even more ashamed of myself for clicking on it. I'm deeply saddened that this is one minute of my life that I'll never get back...

1080p consistently is debatable

X1 has dual band network and better Xbox live service than PS can dream of.

Has Application Snap Feature

Cross play and Play Anywhere on X1 and PC feature.

Also please dont list games, in our household we have 2 ps4 and 1 x1, honestly every is playing forza, or fifa, or gears of war and when uncharted launched we burned through it in one sitting.

You listed all the games since launch and god of war and detroit hasnt even released. X1 has a lineup for next year too lol.

This year alone xbox has much more interesting games than PS. We only bought Uncharted in the house.

In real play hours most ppl are playing cross platform games like Overwatch, the division and fifa. In exclusives ppl want to play halo, gears, forza and only uncharted in my house.

Last year it was a kinda similar scenario. We almost bought Order 1886, almost.

True question, I thought voice commands on the Xbox one was only done through Kinect of which is not even supported on the Xbox one s? No?
Or did they update?
PS4 has been voice command able since day one without the need of a peripheral.
Exclusives?! This one is a joke right? How does the PS4 have almost 500 more games?
Backwards compatibility is a good feature but makes you wonder what their original plan was. Low sales and the lacking of new games had to play a part in that.
The number one feature is external memory with today's games. That is the biggest perk.
The tv feature is nice but also the reason most games are not pushing any boundaries. Reserved power for said feature. Still nice though.

Added: name change feature as well. I hate having a name I picked before I realized that it will be with me forever.

HeyNowChillax2734d ago (Edited 2734d ago )

I went PS4 console this gen after all the XBox 360 problems and PS4 feels like a closed system backed by Sony's culture of NO. Remote play was a nice idea but isn't even worth the trouble being gimped at 720p. I didn't find many of the PS4 exclusives all that great with too many remasters in the works, for an additional cost. They should have at least given us PS Now access to games we've previously purchased last gen if available on that platform, which works surprisingly well btw.

Recently I started using my PC as a gaming rig and piped everything into the living room using the DS4. 1080p on Ultra everything 60FPS is all I and most people need or wanted this gen. PS4 can't do it for most games, certainly not open world. For that matter, neither can XBOX One. However, with play anywhere (Gears4 on PC with Xbox players) backward compatibility and knowing if I decide to go Scorpio next year; ALL of my games will work and run better according to what I've read. Then again, a GTX 1080 at 9tflops will likely be around $350 by then, so who knows, but it's a nice option to play on the same network with different hardware. Meanwhile I can't even watch movies or play games I bought on PS3 with my PS4, hence the closed system. That is some real bonehead BS.

I think last year Sony had an edge current gen, but someone over there at MS is thinking about the future of gaming and bringing more value "For The Gamers". I love that we now have a choice next year. Upgrade PC or Xbox Scorpio while my library of games and network are shared.

I like the idea that we can keep the games too.I have gears,froza and killer instinct for my Alienware Alpha playing 1080p 60fps.Im not sure if I should get the ps4pro or wait for Scorpio since I already have games.I skipped ps4 and x1 because they disapointed me since the day they arrived hence why we have mid teirs.

HeyNowChillax2734d ago (Edited 2734d ago )

PS4 pro would provide you with 60fps 1080p gaming now, but that's a lot of cash to drop for a small number of exclusives; but hey if you love them that much and have the cash, more power to ya. I have a comparable system and your Alienware Alpha is already getting you that performance now. Hey just curious, are you able to upgrade the video card with standard size cards in that box?

Shineon2734d ago

I have the first gen Alieware Alpha so no you cant with the old one I have,but you can upgrade everything else like cpu,ram,hardrive for better performance plus yoy can overclock the GPU if you choose to.The new Alpha can use the graphics amplifier so you can add a better desktop GPU if you choose.The Alienware alpha is quite nice and its about tbe size of a sega Dreamcast really small with better performance in most games than the ps4 and x1 originals

One thing only matters and only PS4 can do, Is that It's the most powerful console this generation from now and even after the Scorpio releases. Because till that time there will be a PS5 or PS4 Pro X which will beat Xbox yet again. I have both and I can say the Xbox Is slower,Has low res,and when downloading or when browsing and opening apps. P.S the Xbox Ui Is clunky, confusing and unresponsive.

I find it funny that under the exclusives bullet point there's:

"There's Halo 5: Guardians, Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4, as well as lower key games like Ori and the Blind Forest and inbound exclusives like Sea of Thieves to look forward to.
A few years ago Sony would have had this category sewn up, but Microsoft seems to be taking a few more risks with its games now, leading to more diversity in its new releases."

How do you say Microsoft is taking more chances immediately after you mention part 5, part 3, and part 4 of some games, one 3rd party game that was bought (which was a great buy nontheless) and ONE original title made by Microsoft in Sea of thieves. Should have just said Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break or left "taking chances" out the equation.

Some of these points I wouldn't consider brag worthy but backwards compatibility cannot be understated. Watching TV while gaming is truely niche imo, talking to the console works on both systems but just deeper on xb1 obviously. Worked much better before cortanas misunderstanding ass. Other stuff is w/e. But the backwards compatibility is a great thing to have. Do I use it all the time? No. Very rarely infact. Is it good to know it's there? Yeah. Never played gears judgement and gears 3 but thanks to BC and buying gears 4, I can go back and play them anytime. It might not ever happen, but knowing I can feels good. Is it a system seller, naw, but who doesn't like a little extra gravy?

This guy might actually try owing a PS4 before he tries to compare it to another console, or at least know a little about the features and the games.

The Xbox One S is simply a better console than the PS4. And cross play with PC is a revolutionary concept that represents the future of gaming. Better controller, vastly superior online, better games and better looking hardware.

However.... "better" is subjective. So if you disagree don't bother to post any "nuh uh" replies. That's just fanboy nonsense. Don't let the opinions of strangers on the internet make you feel insecure.

I own a PS4 because I own a PC. With the likes of Forza, Gears & even aspects of Halo coming to PC I've literally no reason to own an Xbox One where as PlayStation 4's exclusives are actually exclusive(& there's many of which).

Its true we can play Xbox games on PC but the PC multiplayer lacks on Live,You cant play against Xbox gamers on fps games its a really lonely world right now with PC multiplayer on Live.Steam still dominates on the PC and I dont know if microsoft will ever catch up since its all based off of windows10.So yeah as a PC gamer I dont need an xbox unless I want to play Xbox games against people using a controller vs having a disadvantage against mouse and keyboard players on PC while using an Xbox comtroller its not the same fun.

I often play with controller & haven't noticed any huge handicaps one way or another. I do a little better driving, little worst shooting but nothing out of this world.

Besides, you have to pay for Live on X1, PC is free.

Additionally, some games like Gears 4 support crossplay, if MS is smart they'd have separated competitive lobbies by controller rather than just platform.

I know GTA Online separates players by aim preference.

I do good with a gamepad on PC too but I do have my days where I say Dam* they are kicken my ass and I know why lol.When I played black ops3 on console both ps4 and x1 at a friends house it was amazingly easy playing against others who had gamepads.I mean PC presents a challenge and thats fun but consoles have a more level playing field and you dont have to worry about punkbuster,win32 and all other kind crap that try to stop you from playing#toeachitson

XanderZane2733d ago

Well number 5 is definitely wrong. lol!! Here are more realistic things.
1. Connect an external HDD to XB1 up to 16TB.
2. Play a music CD.
3. Play UHD Blu-Ray media.

Kingcorey132733d ago

Not gonna lie. I'm pretty bummed the pro doesn't have a 4kbd drive. I had been assuming for a while it would and after buying a 4K tv I was excited for it. Never bought an Xbox, first time I've ever been tempted to. Sony is usually the one pushing a new format, cd, DVD, br... still pumped to see uc4 on the pro tho. And it should make psvr a little cleaner
