The PlayStation 4 Pro will not have a UHD Blu Ray drive, while Microsoft have included one in the Xbox One S (and will presumably include one in the upcoming Xbox Scorpio, too). This actually comes as a bit of a surprise, given Sony's media background, and their propensity to push the latest media format with their consoles whenever they get the chance (CDs with PlayStation, DVD with PS2, and Blu Rays with PS3).
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
Depends on if you prefer physical media vs streaming. Audio/Videophiles who have state of the art equipment most definitely will care. I mean sure, streaming 4K looks "good enough", but it's still not the same as watching native content with the appropriate bitrates.
Besides, file sizes only get larger with higher resolution digital files. And sadly not everyone has infinite bandwith to work with.
Am more than happy with dvds and blurays still and don't want to switch to another movie format already.
I think the ps4 pro slim could have one.Lol. How movies did gamers bought withe ps4 . Iike movies and only have 61, but how many others bought?
If people are going digital with games, movies will go the same route
They didn't care for BluRay last generation so doubt they'll suddenly care for the new format this generation. The mainstream consumers will be complacent with it just playing movies even if it's the basic format.
Still wouldn't hurt "It only does Everything" Sony to include the feature
