come on be fair. backward compatibility is a good feature but Xbox fanboys are acting like its going to shake the game industry to its core.
Don't you just love those phantom disagreers that just go around and disagree with perfectly legitimate comments? I think what got them all fussy about your comment was the part of Sony and the PS4 being a significant factor in the Xbox One's reinvention. Hey it definitely benefited Microsoft and gamers, but still the Xbox fanboys refuse to acknowledge that notion.
Well it still is a fringe benefit to anyone like me that doesn't have anymore Xbox 360 games and sold their Xbox 360, and also to people that don't buy a current-gen console just to primarily play last-gen games.
In this case, BC is only marketable to current Xbox 360 gamers that don't own a current-gen console. But that is the case with any console, not just Xbox One.
I'll say it again: Backwards Compatibility is always a welcomed feature for any console, but it is not a truly marketable feature and is more of a fringe benefit.
Backwards Compatibility is always a welcomed feature for any console, but calling it a "Megaton!!!" is just reaching for something.
I consider BC to be more of a fringe benefit and not an actual marketable feature; it's really only marketable to the gamers that still primarily game on Xbox 360 and don't own a current-gen system.
I am now fully convinced that the bubble system here on N4G is totally broken, because the users with one bubble like guyman are always the ones with the most intelligent, thought-provoking comments. /s
generalwinter, didn't you get the memo: Only Teh Holidays Matter! /s
Microsoft themselves seem to be driving the hype for this new deal to very high levels.
This video didn't announce anything new from what Phil Spencer said yesterday. So...simple VR streaming of Xbox One games will change the face of virtual reality???
I understand it can all change and evolve as time goes on, but this is some serious hyperbole and it is coming directly from Microsoft. It seems at this point that they are just trying to steal any momentum...
Rihanna? Taylor Swift? You must be a Millennial (i.e. you are no older than 16 years old).
Why don't you just go ahead and ask her? You seem to be a fan of hers, so you would know the proper channels to get such a question out to her than others like me who don't know or give a damn about that kind of music.
Or you could just admit that your rhetorical question kind of failed.
and you seem to be the stereotypical Xbox fanboy that blows anything and everything out of proportion.
This is Da Megaton! Megaton!! You can stream Xbox games with oculus rift. PS4 is down for the count!!! Yeah awesome best news ever!
Remember the "news" of Microsoft buying Silent Hill? Oh Silent Hill is awesome yeah ps4 is starting to lose! Yeah Xbox is winning this Gen!
...oh being so blatantly delusional has made me a little diz...
Apparently all these phantom disagreers know more about this new deal than Phil Spencer, because simple streaming is exactly what he announced.
@gangsta red
Are you thick-headed or you just couldn't come up with a good comeback against GameDev1? If it's the former, he implied that you're an Xbox fanboy and that your critical opinion of David Jaffe is a result of that.
Get it now??? Glad I could help.
Forget about an HD Demon's Souls. Sony needs to follow Bloodborne up with Demon's Souls 2.
Where the hell do you live where sales taxes are 12.6 percent?
I'd like to know so I won't accidentally buy anything in that area.
I agree that Sony needs to allow external storage options, and if their plan is to do it methodically, I hope they first incorporate flash drive support. I have a 256 GB flash drive that my PS4 could utilize more than my PC or Tablet.
I'm way more excited for this new Rainbow Six than I ever was for Black Ops 3 or any other CoD for that matter. I love the enhanced gameplay focus on team synergy and unique squad member tactics (A little part of me wishes this was Rainbow Six Vegas 3, though).
I'm just wondering now if the actual campaign will span missions related to all the different special forces squads (FBI, GSG-9, Spetznaz) or if that is just multiplayer?
Why do all the Xbox child soldiers only have one bubble? Is it because most of them just love to come in and talk about jargon, or is it because they all seem to have some ridiculous persecution complex and say this is PSN4G?
DDOS Heres a little par for the course: Microsoft is "copying" Sony with their cross-buy and cross-save ideas for Xbox Windows 10 streaming.
You all also don't think Sony has more than some unannounced stuff to show at E3 as well? Why use that as an excuse to bolster Microsoft's game plan at E3? Yet at the same time act like if a company like Sony doesn't blow their wad and announce everything worth mentioning BEFORE E3, then that means they have nothing remarkable to show at E3?
Gotta love that lack of logic indeed...no not really.
@AussieGamer1
"Scalebound looks like it will be the game of the generation..."
Gee, that is some heavy hyperbole you're spewing there.
Platinum Games surely has a respectable catalog of quality games they have made, but this whole deal with Scalebound being the Greatest Game Ever is getting a little ridiculous. Especially since nothing but CGI footage has been shown so far. AussieGamer do you really believe what you say? or do y...
Why are you so defensive?
Are you that insecure? time to grow up bud.
Sound familiar???
