Sony shares its games parity clause

I like Jed and consider him a friend. Or an online friend. Are those still separate categories? He does own a ps4. He also, pretty clearly, doesn't like it. That said. Adam tweeted something snarky yet funny and Jed did the same thing. It's twitter. This isn't an actual war, guys.

Pretty sure it's actually the most important war ever. Funnily enough you (intentionally or not) supply weapons for it. Don't try to clean your hands now buddy!

hmm he should've made this tweet when the news first broke

Would have been a nice critical hit. Still a good zinger though.
 
Doesn't he post as killerisjed on here. Anyway the guy is entitled to an opinion and what's Neogaf without random twitter drama?

Totally. Releasing information about games or consoles is purely so I can fuel the console war. I don't care if rational people want info and find it useful. Fuck them. I'm only in this so Manabyte and timdog can go head to head for the next 5 years.
 
The reason he made this tweet now is that MS is planning on having a large indie showing at GDC.


These things don't come out of nowhere ;)
If developers are obviously comfortable with that policy, that just means Sony should adopt the same policy as Microsoft so that nobody wins. Hurray!

Ah, you're part of the war economy! I get it now

At least you're honest, which puts you at a notch better than Destro from Cobra.

I like fort, hes def. more level headed then the other insiders here (thuway and cboat)
 
No, that isn't what he was saying. If you release a game on Xbox 360 first, in order to release it on the PS3, the game needs more content than the Xbox release.

Sony isn't paying them for it.

3 exclusives off top of my head the 360 had, that ended up on PS3. Bioshock 1, Splinter cell Double agent, and Mass effect 1. What extra content did the PS3 versions get ?. I got splinter cell and bioshock for PS3, and i cant remember any exclusive content.. but i cant really remember tbh, there could of been.. was there ?
 
Publisher & Developer Relations guy at Sony makes a joke

"Boom"
"Gangsta"
"Shots fired"

Guy on twitter responds with a joke about lack of quality PS4 exclusive games

"Salty as fuck"
"He seems hurt by this"
"That seems defensive"

Occam's razor...
 
It's a jab from Sony but this is good for other platform holders.

You can't really spin it any other way from what Microsoft is doing.

It's not?

Kinda reminds me of "I have many black friends, so I'm not a racist!"

Just cant please anyone huh?... you talk bad about the PS4 then youre a Xbox Fanboy... You talk bad about the XB1 then youre a PS fanboy... You defend yourself against fanboys by stating you are a gaming fanboy (have all consoles) youre still a fanboy hated by everyone else.

Do you have black friends who have all consoles?... racist fanboy!

Can we talk shit about MS without being called a Sony Fanboy or is that against gamer law?

I wanna play ALL THE GAMES! but that wont stop me from talking bad about a single console... or talking positive about a single console.
 
Someone tweet Jed what are the multiplatforms that perform better on the XB1 compared to the PS4. Lets see how bitter he gets then.
 
They really know how to relate to core gamers.

With Boyes being so offensive about it, hopefully this means they won't overthink the situation when Mocrosoft's clause does have some effects.

I think thats because the joke about the PS4 exclusive can easily be seen as a fanboy comment rather than just a joke because it had little relevance to the original tweet. I dont know if that was intentional though (or if it was simply just ment as a joke), but it could easily look like that, in my opinion. And Metacritics wont give any objective answer if a game is good or not either. I would like a game just as much regardless if it get a Metacritic score if 50 or 100.

Instead of making some lame jokes that only Neogaf can laugh about, they should say "hey guys! we are showing games too! surprises! random crap too!"

Get your shit together Sony. My dust collecting PS4 and I beg you to do so, for fuck's sake.
 
Just saw this on Twitter a few minutes ago. Thought it was funny but was this in response/retaliation for something, or is this Boyes being Boyes?

It's not even a matter of talking bad about a console, it's about giving proper arguments as to why you don't like it. Attacking it for a reason totally unrelated to what is being discussed smells of fanboyism to me, more so when that same reasoning can be applied to the console you're trying to defend. And especially so when it does nothing to counter the argument you disagree with, becoming instead nothing more than a shit-flinging show.
 
Real talk, why is this a good thing for me, as a PS4 only owner?

Yay! The other console gets timed exclusives and buys Titanfall, haha.. they suck!
 
It's not. MS's shitty and destructive policy hurts everyone, except for MS.
According to famousmortimer developers are apparently fine enough with it that Microsoft will have way more indies at GDC than Sony.

So what should Sony do? Adopt the same policy.
And Nintendo which also have a history of being extremely indie-friendly? Adopt the same policy.

It's the prisoner's dilemma except that Sony and Nintendo know that Microsoft is about to take advantage of their lax policies.

You are not going to see the benefits immediately but it's much better for developers. They don't have to worry about making and launching a version for each console at the same time, which is hard to do for small teams.

In essence when developers are happy they make better games which will show up on your platform of choice with relaxed clauses like this.

Well, they will have more indies at GDC because sony isn't using GDC to discuss indies. There will be some there, but it won't be a major focus.
 
Was just at Target earlier, and they had a ton of TitanFall copies up front with half gone. What they had a ton of as well was XB1's in Electronics, and they aren't moving from what the employees said. Had the systems in stock since earl February supposedly. People buying the game seem to mostly already have the system. And I like the comments from Adam so MS can be held for another one of their anti-consumer policies.

Douch Adam is freaking hilarious, though.
 
Or "I'm not democrat/republican, I'm (insert new "party" here)!" after posting comments and positions that are very clearly in one of those two.

Not a good example. I have positions that both parties have. It isn't a one or another thing. Well, it is for some people but not for people that can think for themselves.

If you read a few more of Jed's tweets, some of them seem like he is lightheartedly joking. He even agreed with Adam that Towerfall was awesome. I don't take his comments very seriously, thus my joke about him eating Salty Chips. Just fun twitter play.

You should clean it man, that dust could cause damage if untreated.
