This article identifies with policy, not capability... or relationships between publishers and the respective consoles. This could be titled as any type of gamer and be just as inaccurate.
Because, I like Microsoft. Hate me for it?
I prefer the 360 controller over the ps3 one. More of a size and weight disparity for me. Excited to hold both and see how I feel this gen.
For the record, can we stop making cell phones feel lighter, thinner, and more chintsy?
Watching the video on the article, and the 1st post... I agree with it.
It looks like they are just replicating the mod into a stand alone game. Looks better, but I think they are going to replicate the clumsiness that plagued the enjoyment of the game from me to appease their current fans.
I don't think it will wind up being anything special.
XB1 is gonna lose Geometry Wars??!!!?!? lol
I don't think the mass exodus of indie developers will occur that PS users are prophesying. Some I'm sure will jump ship, but it's part of the business. It will go both ways, and settle down a couple years into the generation.
Consumers of this product spend too much money for us to bother tapping into their market share...?
Hard to accept? I could care less about Day Z, I was interested in playing it on PC and disappointed. Great concept, however the combination of learning curve and fact my computer stunk made it too difficult to get into.
What would need to be "stripped" from the game to get it to run on XB1. It's not pushing the limitations of the console. Short of Sony paying them to create it only for PS4, it doesn't make sense not to port it to XB1 and enjoy both consoles...
They won't skip XB1 lol
It's too simple to port with such similar components in both systems. Unless they do it out of spite and don't mind missing on sales. It's not like DayZ is going to sell either console. They need to focus on getting their product into as many hands as possible, and making it less clumsy and smoother than the Arma 2 mod it began as.
Call of Duty is popular because it's fast paced, smooth, and action packed. It's stagnated with the games because it lacked innovation. This game has vision, they've incorporated new elements as well as a theme that is exciting. Reminds me of BF2142 mixed with Tribes & some parkour. Very interesting, very cool.
Crazy Taxi & Shenmue 2 =)
Lol that would be funny.
Same hardware, developers, publishers, disc drives, inter connectivity... if MS ever decides that they are in the wrong industry it wouldn't take much to do an update and enable everything
I think they have relinquished about as much as they will.
They will need to spend money however marketing, getting more exclusives, and finding ways to get people interested in what their product offers.
They aren't going anywhere.
XB1 is simple but attractive.
PS4 is traditional yet artistic.
I'm leaning toward XB1 box, but wish it subtly had a little more going on to make the box more interesting. I feel like I've seen that same PS box for 15 years now.
Free games, Developers & Publishers must love that.
A proper comparison wouldn't be as subjective.
Everything below your "Instant game collection" for PS Plus could be applied to both services.
As for Cloud Storage, I can sit down at any connected 360 today and pull my game data by importing my Gamertag from the cloud.
You didn't need to pad the PS Plus Services. The company has been playing catch up to MS to emulate their model. They see them making tons of money off of it a...
I don't have any experience with PS Plus so I can't speak to it at all, but I always thought that XB Live protected online gaming to an extent.
I think, optimistically, that a paid subscription forces a level of maturity from some gamers. The ability to report a gamer for abusive language or exploitation allows for a protection of sorts. I don't think it always works, but I like to tell myself that it does.
PS should charge an online fee... hate m...
They want to implement the DRM to console Publishers.
I am soo happy Dice is working this IP, Frostbite engine w/ destructible environments along a Star Wars theme provides for the potential for a truly excellent experience.
Even if all they do is re-skin BF4 I would be interested in this game. Like the article states though, as the 1st game produced in partnership w/ the rights owned by Disney... this could define the series moving forward along with the other games associated with Star Wars licensing.
Hahahahaha, awesome.
On that note, I'm always looking for another excuse. So XB1 it is for me =)
By always online, do you mean the internet connectivity or that the device sits in an idle mode when 'powered down'.
I really don't think either of these is a big deal in the long run. Without going into some of the other issues, I think that these 2 are some of the biggest turn-offs for people regarding the XB1 and don't believe that they realize how simple it is to compensate for the change.
