That’s about it
The “War of the ‘Ps'” has been going on since the PS4 and XB1 were announced. The first year or so Sony had jackshit for exclusive games so they used their slight advantage in hardware (and cheaper price) to sell consoles… and it worked. That’s when all of the gaming sites miraculously started doing side by side comparison videos and that’s also when Digital Foundry became a thing anyone cared about. Now the roles are just reversed. Truth is both consoles launched underpowered and the exclusives for both have been pretty weaksauce.
Yeah, I think the underpowered launch was a lot of why they pushed the .5s… why maybe people felt they were needed, for sure!
Really enjoyed the extra content Lore (Castlevania) show. I’ve never had much interest in Castlevania before, but this show, and the Netflix show, has sparked my interest . Thought the animation in the Netflix show was a lot better than just moving pictures, too. Can’t wait for more!
Yeah, I sort of like digging into the lore of this stuff. We plan to continue to do lore stuff on the bonus content, if you have any ideas for the next one, let us know, thanks!
Show is up for download: check our app, itunes, riotcast, our mediaplayer here on the site, our archive… or http://traffic.libsyn.com/vgo/vid_out_ep_519.mp3
