MICROSOFT WAS AFRAID XBLA WOULD DESTROY CONSOLE INDUSTRY

[Rekkapryde]

its not a HUGE difference if implemented. because sony made a big deal about it or i should say they road the wave of the people crying about it and sony basically backed that sentiment after it became popular(NO DRM>>NO DRM>>>) this means the devs will be exposed for implementing it at this point since sony is saying "it aint us... "

this meant the devs couldnt really do it either at this point.

sony was smart enough to jump on the wave of the people. but best believe they dont care about us anymore than ms does. or those devs.

leaivng the decision up to the publisher IS huge as it puts the onus on the publisher to get killed for the negative PR (see Microsoft).

Sony HAS to be no HARDWARE DRM because of the huge amount of sales they get for offline customers in countries where the internet isn't as robust. And they get a ton of sales from these areas.

I didn't really fukk with indies like that, but man XBLA had some classics that WERE better than most console releases.

Shadow Complex
Scott Pilgrim vs The World
Super Street Fighter II HD Remix

As a man who's library is padded with alot of indies on both consoles, the quality of the indie series on the 360 were of the Newgrounds variety. It gave a nice platform for dudes to make some pretty decent titles which ranged from quaint little time wasters

To full on unappreciated classics such as Charlie Murder


Bigger titles like Fez, Braid and Bastion, if I'm not mistaken found their way onto the 360 before branching off into different mediums (Steam, Psn and beyond) but those titles were far and few between all the angry bird rip offs, minecraft clones and horrid shyte that wasn't under any sort of quality control such as

Don't even get me started on the cringeworthy Softcore Anime porn shyt they had on there.
The indie titles you'd normally see on the Ps3 were far more polished and alot of developers brought their piff their first 'cause of Microsoft's policy of shafting developers on updating their games or some shyte, I think that was what led to Fez's 360 incarnation holding some sort of gamebreaking bug that the arsehole Phil Phish couldn't rectify before he turned into a bigger massive c*nt.

From games such as Journey, to The Last Swan..if I'm not mistaken they got Thomas was alone first as well as Shovelknight, Retro City Rampage, the PixelJunk series, FatPrincess and my all time fave Hotline Miami No questions asked, Sony embraced the Indie shyt properly and for a long time it was the only reason kept I check PSN outside of when they drop free games for Plus users.

Castle Crashers, Braid, Bastion, and Shadow Complex > 99% of PS3 PSN offerings. XBLA was def. the place to be as far as indies went with Sony exclusives really not measuring up to what 3rd parties were dropping on the 360. Sony went all in on the PS4 while MS seemed more concerned with how to wring the pockets of indie developers so they bounced.

Hotline Miami, RocketBirds, Journey, The Pixeljunk series, Luftraisers, Fat Princess, Rogue Legacy and that's from the Ps3 Psn store.
You can argue that you ate on either side depending on your tastes, but I had fun playing all the interesting titles available on both sides. It's a shame how Microsoft bucked this trend by adding all that nonsense that the developers had no say in (Timed trials and if I'm not mistaken updates/patches couldn't be made without payment or having some drastic procedure done that would fall on the developer's pocket). I would have purchased a ps4 on launch day if they worked on a feasible way of playing my older collection of indie/arcade titles like the Xbone did eventually with the Backward compatible list; Eh, one day, I guess.

Your post started off fantastic, then turned into Eyore (Thanks for noticing meeeeeee) The fact Fat Princess was such a big deal on sony is why their offerings was so lame in comparison. We got Happy Wars which is available for free on xb1 right now, we had 1 vs 100, We got regular Pac-man which I play on my XB1 right now We had StreetFighter II HDR, we had literally everything. As in, all the arcade games that mattered would be ported to XBLA (and not to PSN) maybe you didn't know bruh?

Bruh, you bullshyttin the masses with these answers. How come you didn't name this country that sony was catering too
The counries that sony makes its money from have better internet than we do bruh. There was no negative PR on indie games, it was sony riding a wave that a few disgruntled devs and a bunch of fanboys created. I can prove it EASILY...

Its been 2yrs now, name 5 indie PS4 games you GIVE A shyt ABOUT. And before you begin, let me remind you that nobody gave a fukk about Resogun. You dudes hyped that shyt up so fukkin bad, then I checked everyones PSN gamertags on here. None of you dudes played that shyt after all that shyt talking. Have fun playing baseball, then going to outerspace to play No Man's Sky. Cool concept, but who the fukk in here plays space shooters on consoles?

In other news, PowerStar Golf is $5 right now on XBL

I forgot where I was posting at for a minute....my bad. I should choose a side and start supporting certain threads, right breh? I'll go in a bit even though you'd prolly not read that shyt or not try and see where I'm coming from. You say "We" a good bit up there which would have me assume that you're repping XBLA over PSN's indie list, an assumption I think is accurate since you trashed Fat Princess and talked about how all the Arcade games that "Mattered" went to XBLA and not PSN.

I prolly never made my stance on the whole console wars thing since I don't post indepth on this forum to leave a lasting opinion on the matter, but listen to me good and well when I say I COULD NOT GIVE A RIPE, RED, fukk, about who buys what and supports whom as a dude who's made it his purpose from the 16bit era to own ALL competing consoles. Now I know that this is you guys in here thing, with alot of dudes in here calling Microsoft's latest console the Larrybox and despite only having an X1 up to this point in the game with plans on copping a Ps4 later this year, It's actually funny and amusing to see you guys go in on that shyt as I watch from the sidelines. I let y'all cook with that, but I play games, full stop.

Now I ain't trying to make it look like I'm some sort of special snowflake 'cause I support both or looking for dap/rep/support from whomever might oppose your view and side with what I'm saying, I'm just letting it be known that as a dude with a 360 and a Ps3, I eat on BOTH fronts when it comes to these indie games. From Bastion and CastleCrashers on my 360 to Journey and Hotline Miami on my ps3, if it comes out, I get it. Whatever may "Matter" to you on XBLA differs to what matters to me, breh 'cause I don't limit myself when it comes to playing videogames....heck that's why I finally jumped on the Steam Bandwagon after getting put on the Indie game tip like my brother and fell in love with Binding of Isaac and Papers please.

If your XBLA list looks half as good as mine with all the games I done snapped up, played and enjoyed, then more props to you brehbut miss me with that console war shyt, please, I ain't about it. Peace, love and happy gaming my brother and if you STILL feel some type of way about that shyt, you can pull up on Puzzle Fighter and catch this Gemcrush fade.

I didn't read all that because I'm on a cell phone and don't have enough data to download all that. But I figure you tried to recreate history and act like fat princess was this epic game when it wasn't. Have you tried Resogun my nikka? Best arcade title this then according to Sony gamers who didn't really play it (99% of games on this forum)

I did peep the puzzle fighter challenge, it's a backwards compatible game on Xbox one.. Lets eat

Far from what I was saying, breh. It was one of the first major arcade games for the system when it came out if I'm not mistaken and it did do some numbers but it wasn't on that Bastion, Braid, Shadow Complex, Journey tier. The general message I'm trying to put out there is that I play Indie/arcade titles on both ends and I ain't stanning consoles. I ain't copped Resogun as yet but I'm aware of it and plan to do so in the near future 'cause it reminds me of Einhander.

Shoot me your XBL account, breh.
