Sony Treating PS4 No Man's Sky Like a First-Party Game

According to gamesindustryinternational, polygon Sony and Microsoft have both been quietly pouring money into studios new and old. Sony especially is outfitting Japans devastated gaming developers with money and talent, also pooling whats left of the Australian devs. This reminds me of the 95' era when the 'real console wars' raged on, with Nintendo, Sony, and Sega pumping as much cash at any studio that moved or had the balls to bring a game forward. That time allowed the proliferation of so many new and interesting titles during the 97', 98', 99' years. The shear number of new studios at that time was wild and the games...... just amazing.

I doubt we will ever see a time like that again, but with this new influx of cash, I think years 3 and 4 will see some strong new IPs from Sony and on other platforms as well. Mobil and indie developers are also thinking of cross-platform, and this great era of PCrpg rejuvenation.. Renaissance.. has been wonderful. This is a great time for games - I remember when a console was released with 2 launch titles and after a year only had dozen under its belt. Now the next gen consoles have over 220+ games available now -from AAA to indie, from action to rpg, from digital to retail and in between. It is a great time for this hobby we love so much, I know my gaming backlog grows longer each day.

One thing I find disappointing though is the very poor quality of PC ports from console- half unfinished, and the rest with such poor optimization you might as well play it on console or wait months for updates and patches. AAA games in the past used to be handled very well from console to pc now they are rushed out the door. Still yet though my GOG Witcher 3 - what few complaints I have are drops in a ocean.

Um no kidding :). Still the comments in the article are another indication of how this game doesn't really have that indie underdog angle that many like to think it does.

For the people too lazy to google what the game is about, because there are always gonna be those people.

A Microsoft representative was later heard drunkenly stumbling down a corridor, mumbling incoherently to himself about Crackdown 3, Fable Legends and 6 hour install times.

I think this just means they're gonna put a $60 price tag on the game instead of a indie $30 tag.

Will be purchasing this game day 1.

If its a success sony will either buy the ip or buy the company, so xbox cant get it.

Star Citizen

The game looks really boring. If there were any real gameplay in it, they would have said so.

I'd really like to have more info on the gameplay. All I see on the trailers is a person getting inside a ship, arriving on a new planet, watching some weird animals, and then back to the ship. That's all.

Meh, this game dosent interest me. Xbox ftw at E3!

I need that on xbox!

I'm an Xbox person, but I have to give my props to Sony for this one. NMS is shaping up to be something special by the looks of it...

NO Man's Sky = 1080p / 60 fps / Blu-ray / 50inch OLED TV / on the PS4 not Xbox 0.

Ugh...what's the point of console makers or gamers even breathing? It's going to be on PC...it's going to be better on PC (just like everything else EVER) and it's going to be for kids on the consoles...nothing new to see here.

Xbox One has no games!

PS4 has no games that's why they are treating third party games as first party.
