Tom Warren makes another pathetic and biased Tweet

Hold on, that’s how Xbox cases look like? Damn 👀

Are all the buzzwords slapped in via photoshop or is that really how it will look like?
Unfortunately, it will look like that. I've seen a great concept boxart on Reddit today and it looked great. Reminded me of the OG Xbox's boxarts.

Hey now, there's humongous difference between kiddie porn, and carefully selected, curated porn for the kiddos!

Not getting the hate. The first tweet is confirming a fact coming out of ubis conference, the second one about the box art is critical of Xbox. He’s always been the Microsoft reporter for the verge, but he’s talking to a mass audience so even though it’s kind of obvious thats how disc based ps5 upgrades would work it’s worth it to report to his more casual audience.
 

Well, he's not spreading misinformation. That's on UbiSoft, isn't it? Isn't it on Ubisoft to give the go ahead to allow PSN to give you the PS5 version of WatchDogs if you already have the PS4 version? They're using the disc as a form of licensing. I would like to assume that if you have the digital version of WatchDog PS4 you would get a free upgrade to the PS5 version. Wouldn't it work the same on Series X? If you had the disc version? Unless you only have to authenticate once.... if that's the case, the Xbox guys in here should set up a disc sharing setup! You guys should get together, split the cost of one copy and mail the disc around! BOOM, everyone wins... except for Ubisoft :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Can't hate the guy too much. Probably just trying to secure his future for life after The Verge :messenger_tears_of_joy:

OP gotta let this dude dwell on his twitter cave. I understand he's easy fodder to pile on but do we need to give him that much attention?

Funny thing about those tweets is that below them the recommendations are TLOU II gifs from ShushiLegend and gifs of Ghost of Tsushima gameplay. Twitter already doing all the work on Warren.

Heavily post-processed mini gifs won't make the PS5 a good-looking console though.
 
I really don't understand how this is pathetic and biased? There hasn't yet been any sort of confirmation about whether or not physical PS4 game disks would grant you access to the PS5 version of the game that's crossbuy (or whatever Sony decides to call their version of Smart Delivery if they have one) so all he is doing is just posting that that's the case at least with these Ubisoft games, same as Xbox.

I mean maybe this is a subtle diss to the PS5 DE? But even so I really don't think it matters

I have never understood Xbox loyalty. Less history, fewer exclusive franchises than Sony/Nintendo/Sega, less powerful than PC... It’s like the middle child that isn’t great in school, isn’t athletic but tells a good joke once in a while.

@Xbox fans - is the attachment to the brand really just based on the controller + halo + forza + gears?

Xbox One /= the entire Xbox brand.

There was a time when Halo was phenomenal, the 360 and original Xbox had a ton of exclusives, the platform had the best online/features around that available, and regularly clocked in as the best performer for playing third party games on console (which is where most people prefer to be).

They created enormous goodwill for two generations, and that's what people want to get back to.

I was one of those people but I wouldn't go as far as to say 2 generations, it was more like one and a half, kinect screwed things up considerably and them taking the focus away from AAA exclusives to Kinect family friendly BS that always played like crap was a blunder. I always have had PlayStation consoles and up until the N64 and dreamcast I always had Nintendo and sega as well but something about Xbox when it first came out got me really hyped up, same with the 360 but as time went on and it was clear they weren't really committed to doing true AAA quality work and introducing new IP's I stopped caring. The X1 was the first xbox console I had no interest in at launch, I did eventually get the One X because I wanted superior 3rd party console experiences but I won't be doing that again next gen. I am getting a PS5 day one, the XSX I'm open to it if they show me games I want to play otherwise I have no problem skipping xbox again.

Brand loyalty so extreme that it leads to fanboyish bullshit is pretty much autism

Can anyone tell me if Sony has the same amount of fanboys in the media?

I feel like there's a handful of pro XBox media personalities. Why can't I think of similar Sony media fanboys?

The majority of media outlets right now view Sony as their darling, I have a hard time understanding how you can be saying what you are saying when the opposite is actually happening in broad daylight.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
Would you make a thread because someone in this forum it biased? I've never even heard of this guy, even though I know of verge. I see others comments confused as well...

Tom, can you explain to peasants like me how Smart Delivery will work when I insert the Xbox One disc of Far Cry 6 into my Laserdisc player? Thanks.

Nothing happens. Laserdisc players can't play Xbox One discs.

However, if you place the disc upside down in a Sega Saturn that's been modified to spin the disc backwards, then it plays a video of Ozzy Osbourne explaining how to get treatments for diseases originating from bats. Paging Dr. Fauci!

Liberals get dumber and dumber every day.
Their brain decays by the minute and that results in tweets like this.

Hey mister retard.
This game is not worth the purchase even with the free upgrade.
Same goes for valhalabala ding dong.

They somehow squeezed phily boy into the show to mention the free upgrade and the best very best uber duber best version of an outdated woke infested game and now they have to profit from it somehow.

Is this all that microsoft has to counter sony?
No i really ask all of you here.
Is this the level of pride and proffesionalism microsoft can come up with?

Does microsoft still think their core audience from 15 years ago froze in time and didnt evolve ans grew up that they can treat them like idiots?


Ladies and gentlemen. THIS is why i am done with xbox.
As we say in the industry its the face and the brand people pay for and not the product.
I just cant on no level associate with people from xbox.
I feel i am out of touch with their message i feel i am looked at as a dumb consumer i feel they really believe i cant think for myself.

Xbox might appeal to the young croud but for someone at my age its like turning on the disney channel or nickelodion.
 
So if someone has the digital version on PS4, there's no free upgrade to the PS5 version?

Wow.

No that's the opposite of what he said in another post, digital to digital is fine, if you have the disc based game on PS4 you need the disc based game on PS5 to verify that you have it. It's the same thing that's been going on all generation with disc based games, they load to the HDD and then the disc has to be in the console in order to play it.

Eh....the verge...

what’s this Tom Warren dudes deal? I’m lost. Forgive me sweet overlords
Tom Warren's cancelled.

He comitted the ultimate sin: He praised Microsoft (gasp) for BC and smart delivery features heading into next gen.

I know it seems like a pretty factual comment he laid out about the disc being required and that the uograde was free. However, OP was correct in assuming there must be some sort of evil intention behind the tweet.
