Xbox= Lamp
Game= Lightbulb
internet connect= electricity
Xbox live subscription = ???
i knew someone would mention the electricity bill should have made it more clear but my point still stands you don't get anything you haven't already paid for with xbox live maybe a few extra services here and there but you certainly shouldn't be forced to pay it just to play online. i don't mean to upset anyone but thats th...
yep more dodgy subscription services i hope this means they will make it so that you can play online for free. paying to play a game that you already paid for is absolutely unacceptable i can't believe that there are millions of people around the world who will willing pay for absolutely nothing. you pay your internet service provider for the internet, you pay your local shop for the game there is absolutely no reason to pay microsoft anything to be able to play that game online.
...
also how can you quantify the number of games pirated?
the problem is many governments and people around the world don't recognise games as an art form. if you drew a painting of anit-western country there will be controversy but it wouldn't matter since its just a painting if you do the same with a game however it sparks up all kinds of discussions the type of which many people cannot comprehend. i want kojima to make the type of games he visions absolutely but i hope this doesn't damage the gaming industry
short cycle good for the consumer not so good for the company. sony the company as a whole are not in a favourable position to be making big investments whenever they please.
there is no point having non gaming services when your gaming services are lacklustre. the focus should be on the gaming services not on extra ways microsoft can get you to pay on something utterly worthless.
when you make a statement as extreme as claiming "IT Ws the worst showing in the history of sony" please do attempt to give reasons as to why you think so otherwise your argument holds very little value and people think you are trolling. personally i thought it was a pretty solid performance, no bullshit or beating around the bush they went straight up and said the ps4 is coming here are the specs for it and here are the reasons we made those decisions (x86 64 bit chip for ease of p...
i'm not sure you understood the comment...
they can't have backwards compatibility unless they have some form of the ps3's cell cpu inside the ps4 that can run the ps3 games. the reason that one model of the ps3 was backward compatible was because it had the emotion engine cpu from the ps2 in it. the only other two options is some form of emulator or online streaming. i don't see why people want an expensive ps4 with a ps3 in it when they can just have a cheaper ps4 and keep the ps3 they are so fond of.
the only c...
yep i can just imagine watching someone driving happily on his way to completing a mission then BAM barricades are up and the car flips over like a pancake.
i don't understand why people are so agianst online and interacting with other people. many other people in the internet are complaining about the social features of the ps4 and it connecting to social networks if you want to be in complete seclusion and play entirely alone by yourself feel free to turn it off or not connect to your social network no reason to bitch about it. obviously there's a way to stop it if you don't play online then it won't happen but keep in mind he s...
i still don't get the people who wanted the joystick and D-pad positions swapped.
multiple sources confirmed it is actual gameplay also there is alternate footage to the game play of the same area in on of the gamplay footages the person playing couldn't kill the helghan before he jumped onto the flying craft/ship but in another gameplay footage someone managed to kill that helghan before he managed to escape. further proof that its real. here are the two clips h...
they didn't have to mention what type of ram it is they could have just said that it will have 8GB RAM the fact that they clearly mentioned it will be GDDR5 means it is a final decision. besides many of the features they showed were ram orientated like closing your ps4 and then next time you come back to it the console will start exactly where you left off even if it's mid-game all of that is loaded onto the RAM before it goes on standby also it is a common pool of memory for GPU and ...
what i hope is causing the layoffs is that people have realised diabolical state that gaming journalism is in and just don't visit these sites anymore but somehow i can't say that is the case. first gaming magazines bite the dust now the websites something else is attracting gamers more, youtube commentary maybe? or do people just not give a shit anymore? it wont get any better next gen, if people can try out games before they buy them via gaikai then gaming journalism is irrelevant p...
also about the women bit and to all the people who are claiming sony are sexist because no woman was on stage i find that absurd. if anything having a woman there just because she is a female and you don't want females to be left out is in itself both patronising,sexist and deeply disrespectful. the people who gave the presentations were out there for the sake of representing their company as representatives if there was a woman who was lead designer or ceo of a games developer company th...
i think sony will finish with a "check mate" (following your analogy) at E3. sony have been clever to be first to make an announcement but i feel it could possibly be a decoy just to get people interested and focus on the ps4 also to gauge the reaction from everyone and give them selves time to react to it before hand hence the reveal of the redesigned controller which thankfully people generally like. this leaves them with the reveal of the actual console,release date and pricing t...
i hope they monitor their store and have some quality control. unlike valve which sometime let in clearly unfinished games or have false information given in the description of the game like the whole WarZ debacle. or like the microsoft indie stor for xbox where you have games like these http://www.gamesradar.com/2... that are really bad games made by random people
pc+ps4 is the perfect combo. not really interested in nintendo games but thats just me. i really hate microsofts focus on kinect
whats the point of a new console if the hardware is lowend? might aswell keep your 360 then if you want a low cost console.stupid comment. hardware needs to progress if MS dosent make a strong console it will hold the industry back and devs will be less keen to develop for a weak console. it holds the devs back on the things they accomplish it holds the technology back and everyone with it.
