As someone with a gaming PC but whose console is an Xbone, I also prefer this. Devs should always develop for the stronger console when dealing with multiplats. I think the differences between the two consoles are exaggerated by most, but it can't be argued that the PS4 is a stronger machine.My preference is that hopefully they develop for PS4 first at 30 fps and then downres the Xbone version for something suitable.
EDIT: I prefer a lowered res with 60fps though, personally. 30 feels very choppy and the motion blur games use to compensate looks pretty gnarly. I also edited out some elitist sounding PC nonsense.
Well no, not really--there are a few worries there. The PS4 is a pretty underpowered machine compared to modern gaming PCs of comparable price. Even my PC, which is a good two years old and was 600 dollars, is stronger. If PS4 is the main platform then PC gamers will not be able to take full advantage of their hardware. But that's nothing new, and nobody expects Konami to go The Witcher route and develop primarily for the PC. I say this only to emphasize that if you really want companies to develop for the strongest machines, then they should develop for the PC. But economically that makes zero sense. I doubt there will even be a PC version, which is why I said earlier that developing for the PS4 makes the most sense.If you're on a powerful enough PC, then you basically get the benefits of pushing the res and framerate as much as you like and maybe even do so in 3-D. So there are no worries on that end.
Anyway, I'm almost certain it'll be multiplat. The current-gen MGS series is, so it'd be quite strange to take a series that has traditionally been multiplatform and force it onto one system. Not to mention stupid. Xbone is obviously trailing the PS4, but it still has an install base of 5 million, which is actually impressive--just not *nearly* as impressive as the PS4. That's 5 million gamers you won't reach. Granted the Xbone version is just a downgraded PS4 version, it seems like it's worth the effort.
Not to mention that paid console exclusivity is gross. People would compare it to the Tomb Raider/Microsoft fiasco, but it wouldn't be comparable since Tomb Raider is merely a timed exclusive. If SH was a timed PS4 exclusive, it'd be the same. Still gross though, like with Destiny. I'd probably abandon SH as a series because dat shit don't play.
God I sound like such a PC elitist. Disclaimer: I fucking love my Xbone, and I love the PS4 too, and would buy one if I wasn't poor. I want TLOU Remastered so bad... so bad...
