EA is a quick learner
I guess it's just a typo in the title? For a second I thought they actually had the gall to call their always online game Need For Speed Always
While I agree with all of that, and I was the most vehement of MS haters at one point, I think the new CEO and new head of XBox actually know what they're doing. Basically Ballmer was a terrible CEO, but he's gone now, and it doesn't surprise me anymore when MS makes good decisions.
I remember when MS tried to pull the whole 'pay to play any game online' garbage with Games for Windows Live. PC Gamers didn't take it lying down, and they changed it to free. If only console gamers had half the spine PC gamers did, Live and Plus would still be free, and the idea of a paywall for online play would be a distant memory.
Unfortunately, blind fan loyalty won the day, and now anyone who wants to buy a current gen console has to pay an insulting fee...
It's so silly that there's people on here trying to say Forza looks better, graphically. It doesn't even look like the same console gen.
If gameplay graphics end up anything like that, it's definitely pretty. Can't stand the douchey looking protagonist. It looks like he's trying to give 'new' Dante a run for his money.
They shouldn't be complacent, but of course they shouldn't be afraid.
I don't exactly understand what was meant by 'better than your life'. Was that an insult to the person he was responding to?
You couldn't be more right about market analysis. It's responsible for alot of gamers' woes. Almost any time you can start a game industry question with 'why in the world would...' it all falls into place when viewed through the lens of market analysis.
Especially those situations where devs have to strike out on their own because their company won't allow them creative freedom or control. Unfortunately, though they have charts and graphs analyzing th...
I'm really not feeling the new art style at all.
L4d3,hl3,and portal 3 were all waiting for source 3 engine which had been in development for a long time. Valve has a lot going on (steam, steamvr , steambox, steamos to name a few) , and a small dev team compared to most the more prolific triple-a devs. I wonder and kinda hope that one of the 3 will require steamvr.
3ds probably wins for the library.
Vita wins for graphics
Shield would win for graphics but it's not a portable, unless you're wearing it like a backpack in between playing sessions
I wish it would just be a powerful console. It'd feel like an infinite playground for their devs after so many years pulling off miracles with crap specs
I disagree. We need another Nintendo console, but a real one with real specs.
It will probably be a pointless hybrid handheld like you're saying, though so:
N - Nintendo
X - Crossover
"at the show it was announced that the Oculus would work with the Xbox One, with the potential to bring VR to the Xbox One masses"
I totally missed this announcement and it's awesome news. I also totally called this same day they announced the ms/Oculus gamepad/api partnership
I thought Star Citizen was more, but I looked it up and I was wrong.
Star Citizen made a little over 2 million on Kickstarter, but continued the campaign on their own site, and it now stands at just over 85 million ( https://robertsspaceindustr...
I think any high profile game that needs a monstrous budget to realize it's full potential (including Shenmue) should consider the...
When Media Molecule first showed off an early preview of Little Big Planet at E3, I knew I would have to buy a PS3 for that game when it came out (and I did). It just seemed too magical to be real when I first saw it.
"[The polar bear] was then "borrowed" by another staffer and incorporated into a snowboarding game"
Now that I know this allows for the creation of gameplay on top of the ridiculous flexibility of the modeler and stage creat...
you guys haven't heard of the infamous blue light of death?:

Everyone twisting the naughty dev's words around. He didn't say 'always online' would have been great. He said this would have been a good way to show it off as a feature. (as opposed to #dealwithit)
I love how the fanboys are watering at the mouth to defend all the bs that came with it now. As you can plainly see in Crackdown, 'always on' isn't necessarily to use the cloud. And for those pretending social media killed off the most wonderful thin...
