NBA 2K14 News Post



Well, according to Mike Wang, during a podcast with PlayStation.Blog, a couple of developers won't even touch the Xbox One.

Quote:
I love the PS4! I‘m a convert. I wasn’t a huge fan of the PS3 controller, but DualShock 4 is amazing, it feels perfect. I love the changes that Sony has done! The machine itself is ridiculous, it’s so powerful, so much easier to develop for. In the office it’s unanimous; we have a couple people who don’t play anything else now, they won’t touch Xbox One. We love the PS4, it’s a great system.

Mike will probably get some unwanted feedback from this and the Sony fanboys will have a field day, but let's not forget who he was talking to... a site dedicated to the PlayStation. I wonder what he'd say if he was talking to Major Nelson?

I'm sure he'll chime in soon to clear the air.

UPDATE: Mike Wang has checked in (Post #47).

Yeah, just to be clear. I have nothing against XBOne. It's a great system. I was just trying to communicate that I like the PS4 much more than the PS3 (both in terms of development and the controller.) When I stated that I was a convert, it's because for the last 2 gens I've primarily been an Xbox gamer, but this gen I can see myself playing a lot of PS4.

The unanimous comment was NOT that the entire company or dev team favored PS4 over XB1, I was trying to say that everyone in the office agrees that the PS4 is a great system. That's all.

And yes, it's true that a couple people in the office are Sony fanboys and won't touch the Xbox 1... but it's also true that some people in the office are MS fanboys and won't touch the PS4.

Hope that clears some things up a bit.

UPDATE #2: (Post #134).

Quote:
Another thing I should add... just because I was praising Sony, that doesn't mean I don't also love what MS did with the Xbox One. The controller upgrades are really nice, especially the feel and function of the Impact triggers and analog sticks. A definite improvement over 360, which I also loved.

NBA 2K14 will look and play great on both systems... there's no "inferior" version. Just as all console wars, it will come down to the games, personal preferences, and what you're looking to get out of your console.

I wouldn't let anything I said in that interview sway you one way or the other... personally, I'm still on the fence as to which console to get first. But really, I don't think you can go wrong with either.

You go into an electronics store. There are 2 tv's on display. One is 720p, the other one is 1080p, has better specs, and is $100 cheaper.

Which one do you buy?

Just give it time. It'll come. Especially if an xbo exclusive comes along. Opinions change. Along with business ventures. Maybe on an MS podcast. Who knows? lol
Sony made this mistake in reasoning when they launched the PS3.

Well that was the final straw for me. PS4 it is. Of coarse he won't bash Sony or put MS on a pedestal in a Sony interview. But he went above and beyond professional courtesy to express their preference.

Its a wrap for me........

That's a bad analogy. Consoles have IPs that are not multiplatform. There are a handful of games I love on son's brand, TLOU, Uncharted, Infamous and Gran Turismo. That's why I'm getting a PS4. Not because of the resolution output. Its just icing on the cake. Both last gen platforms were marketed as 1080p systems. Virtually almost every game output to 720p over last gen. That didn't deter anyone.

I think users will support the xbo even though it may have resolution issues for SOME games. Seeing how the OS is neat and its easier to intergrate with windows phone users. There are some perks. I'm not getting one off the bat, I'll like to see how it goes, but you can't fault anyone for getting it. Especially since they removed all the DRM.

Personally, I think its a learning curve. Similiar to ps3 with the cell. As time goes on, it'll get easier.

Mike Wang played the company man role to a tee. Gotta keep them marketing partners happy.

Makes sense seeing how the PS4 was built from the ground up with the developer in mind.

Lol!!!!! It was built with your wallet in mind. Both companies will tell you anything to get your money.

It's only more expensive because they have kinect bundled with it.

Every developer mentions this, it's not a marketing gimmick.

Forcing something to stare at your heart and everything else for the 100 dollars

And PS4 has a more expensive GPU and DDR5 memory.

Which ones?
 
# 35 HustlinOwl @ 11/05/13 05:30 PM
weak transition into Batman Origins really, wish they wouldve talked about their past experience/frustrations with current gen NBA2K. Havent played since 2K11 and leaning on purchasing this game, but my main focus is on Online modes mainly association so hope to hear more

I don't get why anyone cares what someone else prefers as far as consoles go. I could care less what any one of you guys buy. To each their own.

lol! I have no idea what that means! I am clueless when it comes to what's inside, all I know is the Show is gonna be lights out next gen and that's the only reason I went PS4.

I feel the same way i just feel as if a lot of people had to go with the X1 because of the PS4 being sold out everywhere and on launch unlikely to get it without a pre order


The Xbox one isn't necessarily horrible for example IW could have did 1080p on COD Ghosts that doesn't even look next gen but MS said no because they would use the GPU off the Kinect and that would screw over the camera performance
