The lighting is so flat and static in Titanfall, but I will buy it because it still looks like fun. I'm just not anticipating it the same way I am other upcoming next-gen games.

Of course if you lower the graphics enough you can get games running in 1080p. There are 1080p games available on the last gen machines. Problem for MS is, will what the expectations of the current generation run in 1080p on the XboxOne?

There will definitely be games on the XboxOne that run in 1080p, just like Forza, but I think few people who know what they are talking about think those games will stack up to PS4 games graphically.

Also as a side note, sha...

@cleft5 I completely agree, and that's my main gripe with the situation. I can handle Sutherland as the voice, but I do really dislike the way they treated Hayter. The right thing would have been to have had him sign an NDA and like you said, take him out to lunch and let him know what was going on.

I partly agree with The_Infected on this one. If the rumors are true and the game isn't coming out until June, they should have known months before release that it wasn't on target with the quality they were aiming for. Driveclub's delay (and Watch Dogs) has really caused a drought and I'm annoyed that I have to wait until late march to get another true next-gen game.

I won't get an XB1 for Titanfall, I'll get it on PC, and for the fanboys out there I...

Hard to look at this after seeing Driveclub but it definitely looks good for a previous-gen game.

I really dislike it when game developers/publishers announce their games 3-4 years before they come out. Even 2 years is annoying. 6-9 months would be ideal IMO. But definitely looking forward to seeing what CD Project Red comes up with considering the Witcher series is so good. I'm also a sucker for good sci-fi.

This looks fantastic but I personally wish all this was put into a new Motorstorm. Just because of my own preferences. I will still get this the day it comes out, just hope it has as much gameplay content as it does graphic fidelity.

Example of this is Tearaway, fantastic title that got universal praise. They were able to build a second team and get a new creative lead excited to produce a project on it. But the financial and public rewards aren't the same as if it had been on PS3/PS4. I'd be surprised if Media Molecule did another Vita game, despite the critical success of Tearaway.

I really can't wait to see what they can do with the PS4. They are the likeliest to show what can be done on t...

I feel that one of the biggest issues is that Sony doesn't want to force their developers hand, so if their developers want to develop a PS4 title they aren't going to tell them no and force them to develop a Vita title. Only studios that need to prove themselves to Sony are likely to develop for Vita and since Bend and Ready at Dawn have already proven themselves I don't know what studios Sony owns (other than Gravity developer) who wants to develop for Vita.

So...

@Ezz2031 That's quite the ignorant comment, coming from someone who is working in the field and has for a long time. New powerful hardware always open up more possibilities that simply weren't possible on last gen. That goes for gameplay too. Cross-gen titles aren't going to show this, they are going to show mostly just graphic changes and in some cases FPS improvements but not core game design changes.

The problem is that it's easy to show improvement in grap...

Still looks ugly. I am giving it a go, but I don't see the hype myself. I can't overstate how boring and bad the art direction and execution tech wise is. This is not what should be expected from next-gen.

I don't think it looks stunning at all. It looks like a slightly upgraded Xbox360 version. The gameplay looks fun, although I really don't like the exclusion of a single player mode. Games like Infamous look loads better. I might get this on the PC for the gameplay (the movement abilities especially) but not for the immersion.

I'll get the XboxOne probably when Quantum Break comes out as that really does look fantastic from the brief glimpses I've seen.

I personally enjoyed Knack and for me, that's really all that matters. Not because I am selfish, but because some games are just not going to be liked by everyone. I actually even got a platinum, my first ever.

4467d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

I'd take early march release, and then have Infamous a couple of weeks later. MGS:GZ will surely be great but it's not really a full game.

Would really want a proper next-gen outing from Nintendo as fast as is feasible for them. I don't see the Wii U succeeding, it might have some strong weeks when they release their big games but I just don't see it competing.

If they could release a new console with a new brand name, get rid of the Wii moniker, and make it a bit more powerful than PS4/Xbox1 in 2015 I think they'd be able to court back 3rd party developers as well as compete with MS and Sony.

March isn't my opinion of "early 2014". Early 2014 is Jan and Feb. It would be a mistake launching it in March considering the amount of titles already scheduled for March and April.

Halo 4 SP looked great and played great but it was repetitive. You fought the same enemies over and over until the end, and you'd discovered all the weapons within the first few hours. Only the space flight offered some variation. These are the reasons I felt it was overrated and hope that Halo 5 has an improved campaign. The same 5 enemy types over and over again for a whole campaign is not acceptable for today's standards.

"Also want to add the sony rep never actually said the quote above....he was asked it."

This is what makes the headline pretty much a lie and I hate it when all media does this. They make it sound like he came out and said it out of his own accord.

Bad video but I agree with RaidensRising.

I've enjoyed the last two NFS. They weren't perfect, but neither were the Burnout games but at the time they were released they were a lot more ground breaking. NFS seems to be playing it very safe, at least with Ghosts' Rivals and Criterion's last NFS. Never like seeing talented developers' creativity stifled though so I hope the founders are off to bigger and better things. A good publisher really makes a huge difference so I hope they find one that will allow them to pu...
