It's nice to have some levity about the situation and I agree. Had a very nice Christmas with my family, but I still had the tug while dreaming of the Last of us and Destiny.
Would love to see it somewhere like Chicago,Texas or Colorado.
I bought the 1TB Xbox one and plan to upgrade my PS4 to at least a 1TB HDD. The issue I have on the X1 side is the operating system uses almost 250gb on the X1 leaving 750gb available. I can add any size external drive, so that matters very little. The OS on the PS4 I believe was only about 120gb,so that is drastically different, but as features are added with updates we could very well see 250-400gb eventually needed. Soon we'll see 1Tb becoming the standard for the base model on most sy...
Microsoft and Sony design their hardware on a base level, but neither produce their own hardware. The PS3 was the last system that used custom hardware and look at what it cost them last gen. They dethroned Nintendo/Sega in a market they saved and pulled a Nintendo thinking they were untouchable and lost to an unproven hardware developer. I own both system and love them both, but where as Microsoft stumbled out of the gate they are making huge strides to rectify it. Sony on the other hand is...
I have enjoyed my time with Destiny on both PS4 and X1, but between the constant nerfing on bungie's part "because we aren't playing how they intended" is getting old. I own both systems, so this isn't a fan boy rant, but to charge X1 owners the same amount on the expansions and cutting content on the X1 is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Bungie and Sony stated that the PS4 would be the definitive version of Destiny, but avoid making your "other" audience feel...
I have friends that work in the industry that had an opportunity to play the demo. The first impressions were, "this is an amazing sight to behold". The other impression was gunplay is floaty and for all the talk of Nikolai Tesla crazy weapons they surprisingly had very little weight.
This can all be balanced out, so hopefully it take shape over the next few months.
I have avoided all media coverage since the initial announcement I wanted nothing revealed that may have ruined my experience. I played the beta and took away from it that this was gonna be a very solid shooter from the masters of console based shooters. I figure the lack of real deep story elements were as some have mentioned as not reveal anything major before launch.
I booted up Destiny for the first time Wednesday and noticed that I had already played this whole thing during the ...
Read "Masters of Doom" great book,but hearing what is happening with Zenimax and Oculus (Carmack) allegations may be true. There are several "documented" cases in the book of him developing and "borrowing" tech for one company and taking to Id.
You wouldn't think PS+ would be feasible giving away $25-$40 1-2 year old games away free every month wouldn't work,but it does. I have an X1 and PS3/4 and am constantly surprised how much value I get out of my PS+ subscription, while MS scrambles to figure out how they can compete. Several years ago MS was toying with idea that achievements could be used as online currency,but that fell by the way side.
I think I might have a on old Sony Trinitron setting around from the 80's somewhere. Since resolution doesn't matter I am going old school.
Nintendo is selling the same thing right now,"graphic and specs don't matter."
Here is how the conversation went with the board of directors at MS.
MS: "Hey Donny boy, ummm you realized you just insulted the middle class and the military."
Donny M: "Ummm, I have never been in tank or middle class."
MS: "We don't know what this whole derm thing is, but we can't give these things away at this point."
Donny M: "Ok? Well then we'll just remove the restrictions and punish them for not keeping the...
As an Xbox live member I paid $60 dollars a year to play multiplayer. What Sony is doing is the same thing MS has done for the last 2 generations, so this should really be a non-Issue (I too am a PS+ member). If it mean improved social aspects, people that actually chat while playing multi-player than I am all in. Playing PS3 online even with a room full of players felt like a ghost town after coming over from Live. That is why I had both systems from launch Xbox was my go to social gaming ex...
The only way you play online multi-player on Xbox 360/XBONE is through Gold membership, so I don't see the problem. I know it was free last gen, but if paying $60 on PS+ gets online improvements that we saw with the 360. plus I get a ton of free merch I am all in. And by free merch I don't mean 2-3 year old titles like AC2 or Halo3. If Microsoft really wanted to get us excited they would have given us an HD remake of Azura from the original XBOX.
I was about to say the same thing. I was thinking spiritual successor to the original concept?
I pray to the XBOX fathers to save MS from themselves. J.Allard, Seamus Blackly and Ed Fries where are you in our time of need? The WebTV guy's have won. Read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Openi...
What we saw yesterday was everything the fathers fought to not happen on the Xbox.
I love how there is a giant COD advertisement adorning this page. "Let's make sure we get some pre-orders on the murder simulator",will be the top story on FOX news if they get wind of it.
Word on the street is Ueda is back to help see the project through. No mention has been made of his actual role (that I am aware of), even on a producer role would be fantastic.
There is only speculation at this point about what GPU will be attached to the AMD(APU). The 6000 series was a rumor and will likely end up a 7000 series card or the Richland APU or Kabini APU(lower power consumption).
AMD Richland APU:
According to the roadmap, AMD Richland APU would not feature the steamroller core architecture but instead would be based on the current generation x86 Piledriver core architecture which is currently being used within the recently launched Trin...
