Why does the ps4 get so many games later?

@commander said:

It crossed my mind today that the ps4 gets a lot of multiplat games later than the xboxone. At this time we know that the ps4 is getting (or has got) the following games later:

Rise of the tomb raider, neverwinter , plants vs zombies garden warfare, elite dangerous, world of tanks, limbo, nero and pneuma.

Not only that , some games take a long time be patched as well, to fix framerate issues for instance. Games like ac unity and the witcher 3. Will it be the same with ac syndicate and god forbid... fallout 4.

What do you think?

Some were deals by MS, the PC one's are most likely due to the ease of porting. espcially with the new update coming in november, PC games will be really easy to port to xbox so I think a lot of the popular ones will be ported to xbox first.

@darkangel115: I don't think this is true because most indepedent games seem to be going PC/PS4 first. The Witness, No Man's Sky, Soma, Rocket League, etc. Xbox One is usually the last priority for smaller developers unless Microsoft provides the funding.

Supergiant games made Transistor PC/PS4 only after Bastion was a big hit on the Xbox 360 marketplace last gen. The roles have been completely reversed and the Microsoft parity clause(it does exist) probably isn't helping matters.

Also better late(Rise Of The Tomb Raider) than never(Street Fighter V).

@magmadragoonx4: I don't think any games is coming with a lot of delay, we just know so much more the second someone open his mouth that we whine about anything. We know about new games sometimes years before it comes out ... it is ridiculous.

Well with over 700+ games to play, there is no waiting if you want to play!

cow meltdown lmao

indies are a little different. plus the PC porting is not out yet until november. MS does with with steam though and thats why early access is on XBO already. like elite, the long dark and some other game. Neverwinter and smite I'm not sure why PS4 hasn't seen them yet to be honest.

Deal is a deal!

At least i didn't do some damage control.

Well, i see that you have nothing else to say. You're owned on every field!

This isn't damage control, it's the truth

the xboxone has premium content sooner and/or it works decently out of the box, unlike 10 patches over 6 months time for the witcher 3, heck ac unity still runs better on the xboxone even after all the patches.

The one that will be doing damage control is you once assasins creed syndicate releases. The ps4 version will be another slideshow

Either it's the playlate station 4 or the powerpoint station 4, take your pick.

But Witcher 3 on Xbone also didn't worked good at launch and also had numerous patches , dumbass! Hey, DID YOU KNOW THAT XBONE WON'T HAVE RETAIL VERSION of Witcher 3 ( which is marketed by Microsoft ) expansion pack "Hearts of Stone", but PS4 will? So much about premium content on Xbone! Dark Souls 3 was shown on Xbone E3 conference, Xbone has premium content, but hey, PS4 owners play Dark Souls 3 stress test, but NO XBONE! So sorry!

You think that Unity runs better on Xbone? You're owned AGAIN, dumbass!

@imt558:

from digital foundry 'Overall, the results now more closely resemble the Xbox One game when the engine isn't fully taxed'

It still runs better on the xboxone, allthough the differences are smaller but before that patch the ps4 version dipped in the teens. The game released 11 november, the patch that fixed framerate issues on the ps4 was released 23 december, that's a month and a half late

enjoy your

The PS4 has a much bigger list of PS4/PC games that won't be coming to the Xbone at all.

The only thing xbone has is inferior multi plats and Halo.

720P and 40FPS Star Wars anyone?

I don't know how anyone could stand playing such a POS under powered console with no games .

You probably didn't watched the video what i gave you. You immediately googled Eurogamer's Face-off. LOL!

Dumbass! Ass Creed Unity also didn't run well on Xbone at lauch. It was a broken mess on all platforms ( PC, Xbone, PS4 ) Because you linked Eurogamer's Face-Off, you missed the headline : Biggest gains on PS4 - but Xbox One benefits too. So, Xbone also get framerate fix trough patch month and a half later!

Enjoy your :

from digital foundry..."

The new patch also improves performance on the Xbox One, although the difference isn't as noticeable as it is on PS4

Overall, the results now more closely resemble the Xbox One game when the engine isn't fully taxed

Compared to the pre-patched game, drops in frame-rate aren't quite so heavy, and the PS4 version now more closely matches the Xbox One release during gameplay

"

The xboxone version was better out of the box than the ps4 version that's why it didn't benifit much from that update lmao.

oh and that 720p machines runs a most games at 900p at playable framerates. Not to mention the ps4 runs a lot of games at 900p as well, like ac unity lol. Heck even mad max runs better at 1080p on the xboxone. It will have a laugh when syndicate is another slideshow.

enjoy your

You're describing PC.

700 indie games lmao

I like how everyone collectively told the TC his thread was stupid....and that equates to cow meltdowns in his/her eyes.

Excellent....you have your own little world to get lost in.

Thats what America strives for each individual.

Not everyone collectively told that the thread was stupid

Pretty much every cow said that the thread was stupid which is understandable.

they are called cows for a reason...

TC take your question elsewhere this is toy war, not many take questions seriously, especially if it talks bad about their plastic of choice.

the cows are still blinded by gddr5 lol

Marketing deals. Maybe.

But the thread is stupid.

B/c you're implying that the PS4 is lacking while the X1 does not.

That is false since both consoles lack in different areas.

Because some1 has to beta test before ps4 owners spend their hard earned money. For that reason, Xbox One was chosen. So right now i'd like to thank every lemming for beta testing my games. Thank you.

@silversix_:

Except the opposite of the proposed OP premise is true considering there is a 200+ game gap between both machines (more games at retail and/or digital on PS4).

Shit thread is still a shit thread.

So you're saying you are upset the PS4 gets games that go to other platforms first, but gets them later... when the X1 doesn't usually get the games the PS4 gets first at all? Solid..

the xbots are just as bad, neither can have a civil conversation within the same thread. And what's worst they'll make the assumption you have the rival console even if you don't

It takes time to develop the big boys. ND working hard on UC4 and TLOU2. GG working on Horizon and KZ5. Santa Monica on their new GoW. All should be about 2016-2017.

Better late than never unlike one console that seems to miss out on a lot of games..

You are full of shit

sorry I don't count 5 dollar indie games no one cares about, microsoft even cancelled indie games support on the xboxone

It's understandable sony didn't do it, the ps4 has less premium games and/or gets em later.

Actually, that's exactly what you were counting in your OP. Here is some indie/digital games in your OP:

That said, even if you wanted to backpedal and pretend you didn't post about limbo, nero, pneuma, etc...and then you only wanted to count retail the PS4 has more of those as well (Injustice, Tales, Guilty Gear, Dragon Quest Heroes, etc).

The truth is that while there are deals made behind the scenes for both consoles, the Xbone has actually gotten more late ports than the PS4.

Is it really worth bragging about a timed exclusive though? I don't think so.

This thread died on page one and I didn't get the memo.

@SolidTy: so you're using posts of other cows as an argument? It only shows how butthurt cows really are when confronted with the facts and it's a fact that the ps4 gets some premium content later.

elite dangerous and world of tanks are much bigger games as the stuff you posted. Not to mention you left out rise of the tomb raider and garden warfare lmao

and let's not forget the time needed for getting triple a games to work properly

I've played two games on my PS4 in two years. It's currently sitting in a box in my closet. Before that it was sitting on the corner of my work desk for months. It's the least used gaming platform I've owned in nearly 30 years of gaming. In short, I think this console fucking sucks because unlike previous Playstation consoles, a gaming PC makes this console nearly irrelevant.

This is still a stupid thread.

That said, please do keep posting. People don't like to admit it, but it's the dumb shit like this that keeps the board alive.

@a-new-guardian: Here you go.

What about bloodborne?

Lol

"Playlate station 4"

I like that.

Unless one is invested in a competing system and is threatened by other systems and ignoring reality....it's pretty stupid.

Console Pirates.

PCars on Xbone says : Please, fiiiiix me!

From wikipedia :

Xbone ( keep in mind that Xbone also has indies )

Exclusive = 40

Microsoft exclusive = 9

Console exclusive or timed = 77/27

Multiplatform/TBA = 339/2

Playable = 271 available to purchase

Total = 493

PS4 :

Exclusive = 83

Sony exclusive = 98

Console exclusive and/or timed = 164/19

Multiplatform/or TBA = 424/0

Free-to-play = 55

Total = 789

So, you want for your Xbone to have LESS games? Good for you! I can't believe how some gamers can be so stupid and shortsided!

So, you confirmed this theory about Xbox community! So many, many THANKS!

[*]MS inadvertently fostered an attitude towards indie games on their platform. With Phil Spencer calling for indie games to have "exclusive" content for their platforms so that XB1 owners don't feel like "second class citizens," most XB1 gamers incorrectly assumed that the early release drought was due to a form of quality control that MS had implemented, when in fact there was no quality control at all- there just weren't any games being released at that time. One dev contacted me and lamented that his big PS4/Steam/XB1 game announcement was marred by a lot of the Xbox community spouting vitriol and hate towards them, and how he/she wished that they didn't announce for the XB1 at all. Now, I'm not about to pretend that the PS4 or even Steam communities are even remotely free from anything like that, but the Xbox community really is something else. I even heard from them when I announced my game for PS4/Steam only...not so much because they wanted to know why my game wasn't announced for XB1, but to let me know my game wasn't welcomed on their platform. Fun stuff.

Nope, more AAA games than X1 too. PS4 has you covered by golly.
