Twitter account follows the biggest FUD spreaders from the Xbox community on Twitter.

Makes up bullshit in the process.

lol

 

[THE DUCK]

Blocking the game from gamepass, if compensated, is fair enough. But having them cap performance I can't get on board for.....

 

[SlimySnake]

which part lists forced parity?

 

[Mr Moose]

Where is the print that says the resolution has been capped?

Unless I am reading it all wrong, it doesn't, that title is misleading (and there's already a thread about this shit being blocked on GamePass).

 

[TwistedSyn]

Didn't we have this song and dance yesterday as well? Every company does this. Sony is not the only one. I swear this narrative is so god damn tiring.

 

[Dabaus]

If Sony didn't want Xbox gamers having it they shoulda just bought Capcom or paid more money to keep it off Xbox. Also, we are still supporting developers when we play their game on Game Pass because a deal was made to get their game onto Game Pass. As for Microsoft first party games, they have no issue with everybody who wants to play the games playing them via game pass. It's what they want.

You. Can. Still. Buy. It. Nothing is being kept from you. The reason Sony is able to make these deals at least with Japanese developers is because y’all never bought their games to begin with.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm not surprised.

 

[TheFarter]

For the players.

 

[VFXVeteran]

I'd like to see how this works with the PC version of the game. Will we not be able to use native 4k?

 

[fart town usa]

What is it with gaming and every time a big title releases people just bitch and moan about anything and everything. Just buy the damn game if you want it. Simple as that.

 

[Krizalidx11]

This. No one seems to get this, it's like such simple logic is too much for them to handle.

If people want to blame someone for this, they would be better off blaming Capcom for entering into this agreement, they chose to do this.

Sony didn't force them to do anything.

Technically Sony can muscle Capcom if they want (hopefully they didn't), think of the Capcom movies published by Sony which goes a long way and Capcom could give Sony that privilege because of the overall relations between the 2 companies

Same goes with Square-enix locking 2 major (numbered) FF games on Playstation FF7R/FF16

SEVEN YEARS?!?

 

[VFXVeteran]

Sony is trippin...

 

[cragarmi]

which part lists forced parity?

I can't see anything that does, keeping it off gamepass for a year makes sense though.

[MrSarcastic]

Another week, another PR shitstorm for PlayStation....Good.

 

[Craig of War]

Technical Parity now is that the same as forced?

 

[Mr Moose]

That just says no extra DLC and stuff for other platforms, doesn't it? No one is getting a "better" version with extra DLC shit.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I guess "technical" parity can be interpreted in many different ways, here it could just mean that the pc version can't have things that are -completely- unavailable in the PS5 version.
So you could have more precise particle effects on pc, but not a particle effect that's completely absent on ps5.

*shrug*

 

[ManaByte]

That just says no extra DLC and stuff for other platforms, doesn't it? No one is getting a "better" version with extra DLC shit.

It says “feature and technical parity“.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

That’s so desperate by Sony if that’s true.

Sony should have just paid Capcom to make RE8 exclusive if this is the case.

This also makes you question whether this was the reason some games were running better on PS5 compared to the Series X.

 

[cragarmi]

SEVEN YEARS?!?

It seems to be more about not including addition content or modes, rather than resolution, or framerate.

 

[rob305]

Damn just when you thought Sony couldnt sink any lower

 

[Mister Wolf]

That just says no extra DLC and stuff for other platforms, doesn't it? No one is getting a "better" version with extra DLC shit.

Wouldn't that fall under the term "content parity" and not "technical parity". They specifically separate the two in that paragraph.

 

[kyliethicc]

"subject to material platforms limitations" could be the wiggle room for variance

 

[DForce]

It says “feature and technical parity“.

Nothing to do with resolution. It's clearly talking about content.

 

[ManaByte]

In what world does technical parity refer to content?

 

[reinking]

I'd like to see how this works with the PC version of the game. Will we not be able to use native 4k?

Would that not be covered under "subject to material platform limitations?" I mean, if the PS5 can't do full 4K and PC can. Tough.

 

[Nubulax]

Damn, people are pissed at Sony on that tweet thread.

I guess this is the new controversy for the week...I wonder what next week will bring

 

[AMSCD]

SEVEN YEARS?!?

Presumably that's how long they think this generation will last.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Nothing to do with resolution. It's clearly talking about content.

The subsection is literally called "feature, content and technical parity", it's not just about content.

 

[Mr Moose]

It says “feature and technical parity“.

Wouldn't that fall under the term "content parity" and not "technical parity".

It only mentions DLC stuff and features (which is probably what the technical part is about) below it, or do you think PC will be stuck with PS5 settings?

 

[Vasto]

This is what they do.

 

[ManaByte]

It’ll be stuck with PS settings until someone does an unofficial patch for it probably.

 

[RaZoR No1]

SEVEN YEARS?!?

doesnt it even say " during the term and seven years after"?
so contract time + 7 years? Probably ne rerelease or a remake during that time for other platforms

 

[Exanthus]

Grow some balls Capcom.... Jesus.

 

[Kangx]

Is this real big if true.

This is nothing really. A game is as big as Resident Evil with marketing deal with Sony, and of course Sony would not let this go on game pass date and date or anytime soon. Imagine this or never imagine and take a look at MLB The Show. Sony is a laughing stock for MLB fiasco.

As for technical parity. Read again and pay attention to 'subject to material platform limitations'. This does not constraint Capcom to have the same frame rate and resolution, and it certainly not forbid the better platforms to have better performance.

 

[Mr Moose]

It’ll be stuck with PS settings until someone does an unofficial patch for it probably.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I doubt it.

 

[longdi]

was this signed before or after the dusk golem leak?
seems sony is afraid of not just GPU but also showing weaker hardware too early.

while it is fine in my books to spend the money playing defensive, imma not sure if it is wise thing to fight MS on money hats...

 

[Dabaus]

There was a big sales leak about capcom games and some their financials are public. I’m not exaggerating when I say this, less than 15 percent of their revenue comes from the xbox platform.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sony is putting into contracts forced parity? LOL. Money money money.

 

[Ten_Fold]

Damn Sony been doing some fucked up shit, I understand not wanting it on gamepass but limited the res? That’s fucked up.

 

[SlimySnake]

It says “feature and technical parity“.

yep. i didnt see this screenshot in your OP. where is this from?

Pretty crazy if true. I have always said that forced parity is a real thing and it's good to see this in writing.

i wonder if the xbox one x version will be paired back as well despite the 40% advantage. this is going to be fascinating to visit when the DF comparisons release.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Wouldn't be surprised in regards to the raytracing features on PC having parity with the PS5 version. When they could offer greater resolution settings for raytraced reflections( the resolution the console version is using are shit just like DMC V) or better more demanding raytraced diffuse lighting.

 

[saintjules]

 

[Hosam6xavi]

Fuck Sony if this is true

 

[Mr Moose]

Wouldn't be surprised in regards to the raytracing features on PC having parity with the PS5 version. When they could offer greater resolution settings for raytraced reflections or better more demanding raytraced diffuse lighting.

The RT is pretty meh on console, I would hope PC has at least higher res RT reflections. Isn't there a demo on PC now (or soon)?

 

[Krizalidx11]

I'm sure it's from the Xbox 1 era, XSX now is gaining heat with gamepass so we'll see if it will turn things around

 

[SenjutsuSage]

You. Can. Still. Buy. It. Nothing is being kept from you. The reason Sony is able to make these deals at least with Japanese developers is because y’all never bought their games to begin with.

lol I'm not saying anybody is keeping anything from anyone. Chill out.

 

[FritzJ92]

Exactly what I’m thinking.
