NDAs mean developers can't compare console strength

Ball gag

Ah, resolutiongate. You know, the only reason we add ‘gate’ to the end of something is because of Nixon in the 70s – can’t we find a new, trendy way of saying controversy? Anyway, the brouhaha around Xbox 720 One’s resolution is leading to harder and harder questions about the console’s power. But who is allowed to answer those questions?

Gavin already told you about the interview over at Metro, when Mark Rubin said that John Carmack was wrong about the consoles being the same. However, the result of the grilling is that there are, in fact, some big differences between the consoles, and the Xbox One is the weaker of the two.

While Rubin makes a valiant effort to dodge the question, particularly with his PR rep sitting next to them, Game Central keeps probing if it’s that Rubin can’t answer the questions or is avoiding due to diplomatic reasons:

GC: Are the console manufacturers leaning on you to avoid these sort of questions?

MR: [unsure – speaking to PR guy] I don’t know if that…

MR: [even more embarrassed to us] Yeah, there’s things that we… We sign NDAs with the first parties [i.e. Microsoft and Sony – GC] and there are things that we’re not allowed to talk about.

Rubin went on to say that the focus has been that the game is fun no matter what platform it’s on. Yeah, that may or may not be true, but what about future games? Will we see improvements in Xbox One development, or will there always be a gap between the consoles? Rubin isn’t sure; he points to numerous other games such as Battlefield 4 and Titanfall also being 720, explaining:

Yeah, so you’re reading that correctly in that it’s not specifically us doing something villainous. It’s a thing where all of us have to work at getting better at developing for both consoles. And that’s the fun part. I always use the analogy that the first game on a new console is always like an awkward first date, but once you know a lot more about each other it’s a lot better.

I’m curious to see if the power of the consoles are so different that it leads to diverging qualities of game play. However, as we debated last week, not all gamers can even spot the difference between 720 and 1080 unless they are side by side. That said, things are not looking good for the Xbox One on this front. Is it simply a weaker console? Did Microsoft spend too much time making that sexy controller with vibrating triggers to notice the fact that their performance was going to be sub-par?

            Exactly, same with the Batman sale. The value is off the charts but 90% of gamers has played at least two thirds of what’s on sale. But for those that can’t afford new games that often, Steam sales is a godsend.

            I can’t wait for the days that cross platform gaming will be available… killing people in GTAV that are on PS while on Xbox… or racing someone that’s playing on PC while on PS.

            Would be epic days.

          • John's (JJ's) ????

            November 8, 2013 at 09:21

            Yes, but they’ll never have pc and consoles mix. FPS games would be a massacre.

            On a separate note: I see the GTA V to pc petition on change.org already has over 600k votes.

          • Vampyre Squirrel

            November 8, 2013 at 09:25

            Only 600K? The “Master Race” can’t want it that badly. lol

            Yeah, some games wouldn’t work cross platform to PC, like FPS as you mentioned, but there are many games that would be absolutely awesome cross platform.

            I doubt PS or Xbox players would have an upper hand on either end when playing something like BF4 MP.

          • John's (JJ's) ????

            November 8, 2013 at 09:30

            I agree. Racing games would be awesome. But racing games often have even more d-bag players than any other games, so still need to filter those out.

          • Vampyre Squirrel

            November 8, 2013 at 09:32

            Lol! So true.

            Imagine being in a race in Grid 2, field of 12 racers, and you have 4 people from each platform.

            Would be awesome… And then one douche decides to race backwards and crash into everyone… and everyone gets a prompt to kick him out, agree, and BANG he’s gone and gets a black mark on his name 😛

          • John's (JJ's) ????

            November 8, 2013 at 09:36

            Absolutely. Except that I would not be caught dead playing GRID 2.
            Bring GRID 1 or RaceRoom.

      Microsoft is adamant that Ubisoft is to blame, but here’s the thing… and this is what’s damning. The PS4 buttons were blurred out and even if Microsoft didn’t blur it, the onus is still on them to ensure that whatever footage they get from publishers are correct and representative.

      They could easily have told Ubisoft to pass them the correct footage, but instead they went ahead and posted PS4 game footage and tried to pass it off as xbone. That tells me all I need to know about Microsoft.

    I think that Microsoft is just scared to say the truth, simply because they know what that would do to the Xbox Ones future… It is the less powerful console. Yes Sony may have screwed up with the Cell in certain ways,but they always had more raw power and now in the final days before next gen arrives you can really see Sony tapping into that power.. I personally think even in the Future Next Gen Sony will lead… There is one thing the Japanese know and that is technology. If I had to places bets, I see more Xbox one titles in 720, then later on resorting to the Cloud to “save” their console a little more, but could run into some issues.. Yes they may unlock so power later on with he Esram and DDR 3 but by then Surely Ps4 devs will already have figured out how to get more juice out as well… I will end saying this. Yes the Xbox one will have some awesome games, alot of first party titles will save the day for them, but when those multi platform titles come along The Ps4 will always be the console of choice, not to mention IT’s first part titles will be out of this world!

    I love how one moment they are touting the true awesomeness of the bestest power in da universe, and the next they are like ‘eh? Well, it can play games, just like SONY’s console, it’s all about the games man!’. Yeah, That’s why we’re expected to fork out an additional $100, it’s all about the games…

        Yeah… Its amazing how with the days of Ps2 and Gamecube and first Xbox then Ms was all proud “We have the most powerful console” Ps2 still kicked it’s ass.. Xbox 360 look a great console, I’ll give Ms that… But ps3 was far superior on specs but had issues which now they don’t have anymore.. Now they playing a different game… They know they are inferior and trying to hold all their cards at once… problem is, someone always has butter fingers…

          Absolutely. I don’t think that MS knows what they’re doing with consoles anymore. They’re trying to get every MS product to integrate so badly that the OS on the Xbone is actually huge (in comparison), it uses more ram, and I won’t be surprised if you could add it to a domain and have group policies on it lol.

          I decided early in this race that I’ll go Playstation in the new gen, but I’ll wait a while and see what happens in the months/year to come before actually forking out the money for one or the other.

          M$ tends to throw patches out very often to change stuff, but then so does $ony. Going to be an interesting time… FUN TIMES!!!

          Oh and I’m down to R$12k on GTA Online 😛

            I was surprised I got GTAV as soon as I did… I thought I’d only get it early next year.

            I still have a crap load of games that need to be finished.

            Well, I buy humble bundle for two or three of the six games, still makes it a bargain in my eyes and it’s for charity. I’m going to do a percentage count of my completed games on my steam real quick….

            I currently have 52 Xbox games… and have only finished the story lines of about 13 of them. Of course some of them cannot be finished, being fighters, or sports games, or whatever without story lines… but that’s a bad number.

            Also that doesn’t include my Arcade games that I have. Or the PC games that are in my backlog.

    From the start of the year SONY have been one lap ahead of the competition. It seems that whatever the marketers do at Microsoft they just end up creating bad spin.

    Sorry but SONY got it right this time and like 7 years ago, I got the console that had more positive spin, the R2000 360.

    P.S. I do not need a camera on top of my TV. But thanks for giving us the option… not.
