Sony has nothing to do with the PC versions of Detroit/HeavyRain/Beyond. Quantic Dream are the PC publishers of those games... they made a temporary exclusive deal with Epic.

I see. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know that.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Just like the 250 million investment had nothing to do with what Sweeney said I'm sure this has nothing to do with Microsoft and Valve working on a new VR headset together.

 

[VAL0R]

As they say everyone has a price. Also everyone has an agenda. Those will serve you well at work.

Does that mean everyone is willing to lie for money? I'm not. While I've never been tempted with the offer, I truly believe, by the grace of God, that I would not tell a premeditated public lie for any amount of money. My honor and integrity can't be bought like that.

 

[base]

Oh now I get it. HL3 will be Xbox exclusive!

 

[SliChillax]

isn't death stranding on STEAM?

Not published by Sony

 

[Genx3]

Not surprising. Anyone that does not prefer Sony's 1st party library of games would choose XSX over PS5 purely on specs and performance.

 

[Dr_Salt]

Well it kinda figures, the company that doesn’t make games anymore backs the console with games no one cares about.

You mean the company that not only released a game like 4 months ago but will possibly win game of the year?
Lol troll harder kid.

Until it can.

Half Life 3 confirmed

Just like the 250 million investment had nothing to do with what Sweeney said I'm sure this has nothing to do with Microsoft and Valve working on a new VR headset together.

They already work on VR together:

HP's new gaming VR headset, Reverb G2, is made with Valve and Microsoft

Arriving in the fall for $599, it aims to bridge Windows 10 and SteamVR better.

Valve's headphones/speakers becoming standard in VR would be great news. That's probably best part of index and I would gladly buy separate ones to use in work.

 

[geordiemp]

Not surprising. Anyone that does not prefer Sony's 1st party library of games would choose XSX over PS5 purely on specs and performance.

What performance ?

Specs - just TF number or do you have a proper benchmark ? Thought not,.

Nobody benchmarks performance on floating point ops per second. There is a reason for that.

 

[Guilty_AI]

He failed to answer why he chooses x over psx.

He probably just doesn't care, unlike a lot of people here

 

[Faenrir]

Yeah i don't get this "we don't need to separate gamers" crap. If you have a PC, you'll get almost all of the games. You can use different stores.

So i don't really care about this. I'll use whatever store has the gamei want to buy.

 

[Blond]

Remember when Gabe talked all this shit and then when Valve had some actual hands on time with the console Portal 2 looked and performed better on the PS3? I sure do lol

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Weird for him to say that since Sony and Valve are pushing the VR bonner down everybody's throat

 

[lock2k]

Is it my impression or he is looking way healthier nowadays?

 

[quest]

I think pretty much anyone would in the right situation. If my wife was sick and needed money for life saving medicine yep where is that lie at. Many business people love money and can say anything to fit their point of view and not see it as a lie.

 

[The Alien]

Xbox fans: "Fuck yeah"
Sony fans: "Fuck that guy"

 

[VN1X]

Just cancelled my PS5 pre-order. Thanks Gabe!

 

[diffusionx]

Why would a VR headset prompt Gabe to talk about a videogame console?

Gabe's been around for a long time, he's never been afraid to call it the way he sees it - see his criticisms of PS3, Windows 8, etc. He has fuck you money and his company is wildly successful on its own.

Just as I said, being in bed with a company financially would have ZERO bearing on how he feels about their console, same with Sweeney, both of them clearly mean what they said.

 

[cm osi]

of course microsoft is giving 30% of all their new games to them

 

[ManaByte]

Asked directly which system is better, he says the Xbox. When asked why he said "because it is", but he said he doesn't have a stake in the race since they do most of their development on the PC but of the two (PS5, XSX) he'd go with the Xbox.

 

[SoraNoKuni]

Well I really like Gabe but him saying he prefers PS5 is like shooting himself on the foot after the Sony/Epic collaboration.
Fun times ahead.

 

[HarryKS]

Has he lost some weight?

Is it because only SSD speed counts? Regardless, Gabe knows his stuff, I'll stick with his opinion.

 

[splattered]

Whoa would not have expected that...

I guess this is where we learn that MS spent $250 million investment in their company haha jk

 

[sn0man]

Head of company that does not make games prefers platform that does not offer games.

Oh you! That’s painful. Somewhat true but also painful.

 

[Optimistic Gamer]

Well, that was a short console war.
GG, Let's pack it up guys.

See you next generation.

Has he lost some weight?

looks like it. Would be good for him, was always worried =\

 

[ManaByte]

Gabe just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about gaming culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in reality where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in gaming, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is gamers, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase anything on Steam, nor will they purchase any of Valve's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Gabe has alienated an entire market with this move.

Gabe, publicly apologize and say the PS5 is better or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[Astral Dog]

To the surprise of no one Series X appears to be more powerful and well balanced

 

[Vawn]

Well, Valve doesn't believe in making new games either.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Well argumented though. “Just because it is”

 

[Tschumi]

I don't think he can be so cut and dry when they've got entirely different ways of working.. i guess he would prefer a surrogate PC.. anyway, the proof is in the pudding

 

[Demon2blades]

Lol wonder how much of that is because of epic store deal or summat ?

 

[SmokSmog]

Variable clocks intensifies

 

[Dnice1]

he said he doesn't have a stake in the race

We'll if he's following the Tim Sweeney playbook there should be a "strategic partnership" announcement in couple of weeks.

 

[Spukc]

Thanks gabe just cancelled my ps5 preorder
Straight in the trash sorry lord gaben for having doubts

 

[TexMex]

He said the same about PS3 and ended up waddling onto their E3 stage to pimp Portal 2.

 

[SmokSmog]

 

[GymWolf]

Gabe channeling his inside jesus meme with that haircut

 

[baphomet]

Whoa would not have expected that...

I guess this is where we learn that MS spent $250 million investment in their company haha jk

Well...I mean Steam exists entirely because of Microsoft's money.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Make Half-Life 3, you lazy asshole

 

[Optimistic Gamer]

Is that video edited btw? What the hell is the dude even asking? "Which is... near? there? nija?"

 

[geordiemp]

Is it because only SSD speed counts? Regardless, Gabe knows his stuff, I'll stick with his opinion.

I doubt gabe has seen an XSX running a game yet, nobody else has.

Has Gabe seen a ps5 or ps5 dev kit ?

Gabe is allowed to have preferences, does not mean he has seen either does it. In fact, he likely has not seen a Ps5 dev kit as he would be under strict NDA.

So rich and powerful steam owner, who has not seen dev kits, prefers MS who he works with on VR headkits. Thats fine, what else is there ?

 

[Guilty_AI]

Of course people are gonna fight over a random answer for a random question from a TV show

 

[SmokSmog]

He said the same about PS3 and ended up waddling onto their E3 stage to pimp Portal 2.

But he was right, ps3 was nightmare to work with and had underpowered GPU compared to cheaper and released 1 year earlier x360

 

[trikster40]

This might have something to do with his comments:

[Panajev2001a]

Glad he likes the XSX better, he must have his reason. I just find it entertaining how much he would have been accused of shilling for Sony if he had said something else lol (I guess it would be mean to think about Sony cozying up with Epic Games Store factoring in this at all hehe )
