I think if you look at the title which we launch, which were multiplatform titles. The bulk of them were the same. I think there were 12 titles were released on both platforms [PS4 and Xbox One], leaving three, all of them had the same performance on both boxes.

Holy shit. I can't believe he's outright lying to our faces now that the games and consoles are out. I used to feel bad and gave him the benefit of the doubt since I thought he was being fed bad info he didn't quite understand but now he's clearly just serving the purpose of pretending the power gap doesn't exist. I hope no one falls for this.

 

[la flama blanca]

LOL, Oh... MS lol

lol perfect gif

 

[Bedameister]

Let's wait for that Digital Foundry Video then we know what is going on.

 

[dugdug]

"We just shipped. I mean, what, did you expect this $500 machine to be good?"

 

[AgentOtaku]

He has a weee bit of point for moment... then it completely falls flat on it's face when yeah, the kit is $100 more

 

[Elios83]

Aahah shameless.

 

[Bgamer90]

Not this again.

This is going to be a messy thread (haha).

 

[Brannon]

Oh my...

Please don't post threads like this...

ok not rly but hey

[Dreams-Visions]

This mothafucka is XOne owners' Dennis Rodman.

 

[heyf00L]

There's no confidence or conviction in what he's saying. It's pure damage control.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

These guys at MS are clowns.

 

[Goodacre0081]

Penello knows more than us, and Nelson is waiting for the truth to come out. why don't they just tell us?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Major nelson's fun fact "we just shipped"

 

[Zombie James]

I believe that the differences between the boxes [PS4 and Xbox One] is not all that great and I know what is going behind the scenes and I have access to more information about some of this thing than a lot of people.

Uh huh.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Why can't he just say "we don't think the average consumer will put as much weight into graphical differences as they will on games and services, we will have Live, Kinect, and a number of great games on One in 2014, the PS2 outsold the Xbox despite being noticeably less powerful, etc."

You can't simultaneously maintain the positions that "specs don't matter" and "but seriously, ours are better." If course, it would be much easier to concede the graphics crown if the PS4 wasn't $100 cheaper, but the only one forcing ms to keep Kinect bundled is MS.

[Massa]

That is some truly awful PR. Shut the fuck up Penello.

 

[pixlexic]

I'm sorry I think he is right "IF".it's really the exact same game. Same resolution .. But one is upward from 30 fps and the other downwards from 60 fps.

Doesn't mean both consoles are equal, just means this game is not that much of a difference over all.

 

[bidguy]

someone should tell them that sometimes keeping your mouth shut is the smarter thing to do

 

[Kamina]

Ryse looks good. But it would look better on PS4.

Ice cold

 

[jiggles]

Does Ryse look better than Killzone?

I need gifs.

 

[Cimeas]

Should he just shut up instead of making things worse? Probably.

Is it incredibly tedious to have exactly the same discussion every time he opens his mouth and doesn't say that his platform is crap? Yes.

 

[benny_a]

Albert Penello said: "I will ask two questions of the detractors, honest questions.

1. What piece of information would you want that I could provide that would convince you there is not a huge delta in performance?
2. If it comes out after we launch that the difference between 3rd party games is maybe single-digit FPS between the two platforms, will I get an apology or concession?"

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

This is just sad now.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Did he just say the bulk of the third party titles were the same? I can't even...

 

[Htown]

so is he pretending he still has credibility?

 

[Tsundere]

Proceed, thread.

Is there any reason he wasn't banned for, what is and has been, lying and deceiving through PR speak on GAF?

Non-Microsoft employed "shills" have been banned for the same kind of posts, shouldn't this apply even more to an actual Microsoft Director?

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Given the vast amount of evidence to the contrary, can we conclude that he's just an unabashed bullshitter or do we think he's genuinely drank too much of the company kool-aid?

He's paid to expose the competition's weakness to trumpet his platform's strengths and doctor the truth when things don't fall his way. We would be foolish to believe otherwise.

 

[Jonboy]

This also seems appropriate...

 

[Bgamer90]

But has he seen Titanfall?


Seriously though, it's almost as if this guy works for Micro... oh, wait.

Exactly. He's never going to say that the PS4 is better. No one should expect him to.

 

[DBT85]

Oh Albert.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

The bulk of them were the same. I think there were 12 titles were released on both platforms [PS4 and Xbox One], leaving three, all of them had the same performance on both boxes

Cod, BF4 and AC4? They are three kind of important titles Albert.

 

[PBY]

Does Ryse look better than Killzone?

I need gifs.

I think it does, but you have to qualify it with the fact that KZ has these huge environments, whereas Ryse does not. But why should that matter, we have multiplats for comparison.

 

[Nightengale]

It's hilarious that there was once a time where Penello was arguably the best MS has to offer in terms of PR & messaging.

Exactly. He's never going to say that the PS4 is better. No one should expect him to.

He's never going to say it, but it'd be nice if these suits could at least be a good sport and tone down the spins.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Penello loves jumping in the shark tank.

 

[KojiKnight]

Step 1 : denial

It's also steps 2 through 12.

 

[SJRB]

Embarrassing response to an embarrassing situation.

 

[benny_a]

I'm sorry I think he is right "IF".it's really the exact same game. Same resolution .. But one is upward from 30 fps and the other downwards from 60 fps.

Doesn't mean both consoles are equal, just means this game is not that much of a difference over all.

100% difference in frame rate is not that much of a difference. Okay.

 

[The Omega Man]

Penello has all the inside information with clear and indisputable facts that the XBONE has the superior hardware, he just can't share that information.

 

[BronsonLee]

welp

That first post, man.

Albert, just shut up.

 

[djplaeskool]

#popcorn

 

[EGOMON]

He spend a lot of time thinking about this you know, Gaf do you even think?!

 

[daveo42]

Is there any reason he wasn't banned for, what is and has been, lying and deceiving through PR speak on GAF?

Non-Microsoft employed "shills" have been banned for the same kind of posts, shouldn't this apply even more to an actual Microsoft Director?

I'm thinking this is one of the reasons why he hasn't posted on GAF since launch.

 

[Appleman]

Were any launch multiplatform games the EXACT same on both platforms? Some differences were more minor than others, but I'm pretty sure they all favoured the PS4 in either performance, resolution, or effects

 

[illmatic22]

Penello has all the inside information with clear and indisputable facts that the XBONE has the superior hardware, he just can't share that information.

Right?

 

[Alchemist]

This guy gets paid to talk absolute shit. Incredible.

 

[JABEE]

It's also pretty messed up that he comes into these threads and pretends to be fair and making comments in good faith, and posts these same kind of statements despite what evidence says. He continues to appeal to "I have inside knowledge, keep waiting."

 

[Always-honest]

He is a liar, or not very smart.
