The share button is a game changer- a real system seller feature. Im excited by the potential it has.
Im also expecting MS to come out with something similar to counter it. I hope not since Im firmly in camp Sony, but I dont think they'll let it go unanswered.
E3 will be the place final specs, release dates and prices are nailed down. They can show the console off and still have plenty for E3.
"AAA shooter experience using kinect"
Im not going to state my opinion on this, I want ALL OF YOU to show your opinions.
Agree on this comment if you're happy with a AAA shooter experience using kinect.
Disagree if you'd rather it was just a AAA shooter experience.
How about: "Sorry whiny 12 year old cod playing cry baby, i just DONT WANT to talk with you?"
Bad and ugly award was definately won by Squeenix. Lets get a guy onstage to announce that we're working on a final fantasy game. Really? Im shocked. Next you'll tell me that Polyphony are making a new Gran Turismo and the next Xbox will have a Halo game.
Microsoft are pissed as hell today. Not because of what Sony showed but because of what they didnt.
If Sony went all in and showed console, games and everything else they showed last night they'd have nothing for E3 and Microsoft would have an opportunity, without any rival announcements to steal the show. Hype would shift in their favour in the months leading up to launch.
Now though Sony have the actual console reveal, price and games from Polyphony, N...
Agent down! I repeat agent down!
Seriously, its dead. Move on.
I'll happily pay for a PS Plus style service, but I hope Sony doesnt lock most of its features up behind a subscription. They won a lot of fans for having free online, dont ruin it now.
And that double life advert. Re-release that for PS4. Brilliant.
8/10?
"But...but next gen consoles wont match the visuals of Crysis 3!!!"
Gotta love Crytek. They seem to think graphics and the overall quality of the game are inextricably linked. Sure your games are pretty, but theres never quite enough there to make it stand out from the crowd. Its all style and little substance.
Now please do us a favour and sell the Timesplitters license. I no longer trust you to do anything good enough with i...
More to the point I can think of games from the last generation that were more fun to play than Crysis. They hype up the looks of Crysis to mask the fact that the game lacks the fluidity of Cod/Halo or the battlefield feeling of...er...Battlefield and cant create a world thats enjoyable to be in like farcry or skyrim. Crysis is never bad, its just always an 8/10 game. Close but not the success that Crytek want.
Whats ironic is they're sitting on the Timesplitters license-...
Upgradable consoles go against the idea of a console- its a one box does all. You buy a console and its good for a 10 year cycle. Developers know exactly what they've got to work with, theres no extra development for multiple types of hardware. You know that when you buy that console you have instant access to the best that console can offer, no upgrade needed.
PC has always been at the bleeding edge of graphics development and always will be. Thats not the console gamep...
"pc will always be the most powerful"
Agreed.
Now show me a PC exclusive game that utilizes all that power and is more fun to play than Uncharted, has the ease of use and smoothness of a Halo, the variety of a Journey or the ability to create believable characters, worlds and storylines ala Last of Us?
Powerful means nothing. Its all about the games and the greatest depth, variety and overall quality still lies with consoles. Sure B...
Said it the other day on an article almost identical to this (so much for variety in the gaming media) and I'll say it again...
Gaikai may be big news. PS4 is still bigger. Much much bigger.
The reality is the sort of games that will be streamed through cloud gaming are already playable on that shiny black box that most of you have called a PS3. You're not going to be playing PS4 games on your tablet or phone. So while cloud gaming has its uses, and b...
We're all hoping thats the case! They've done such a good job of setting this up if they spend the first half an hour talking about sales figures and how many people are on psn I'll be dissppointed.
Seriously jmc8888 you're going to compare recession and nuclear weapons to cloud gaming? Really?
Heres the thing, its almost certainly an optional experience. You choose if you want to use the service. No ones forcing you.
And as for how they work out how much to pay each developer you do it on a "hits" basis. The more people that play your game the more you get paid. Games that are good will get more people streaming them, multiple times in or...
Cheers for relating a gaming console to war crimes. Im guessing you dont get out much do you?
Until we know more about pricing and structure how can you assume cloud gaming is worse for the consumer?
Seriously mate, lighten up.
Make it launch window. I dare you. =P
Most shocking news of the year so far: Sony has finally located their missing advertising agency. And boy are they making up for lost time.
Its called strategy. It wasnt just Ken who said MS would announce first, Jack Tretton also said "We've never been first..."
If your competitor thinks they're controlling the clock it gives them a false sense of security. Sony have been there. The 360's early launch meant that Sony had to rush their product. They had to drop features and change the hardware, losing a couple of USB ports and other features just to get a competitor out there. They launched ...
