well, if you're going to insist XB1 is like Rocky Balboa, then this gen would be Rocky III, wouldn't it? I mean Micke died (Mattrick got fired) and Rock just got floored by Clubber Lang (PS4). Paulie's now trainin him (Spencer) but it remains to be seen if Rocky can rebound next gen. I must say though, things are shaping up nicely for Rocky 4 since MS brought in Apollo Creed's little bald trainer (Nadella).

god I hope not. Nintendo double downed on their own loyal fanbase, fleecing them with 4 inch plastic figurines embedded with horse armor DLC at $13 a pop.

I like the WiiU (own 10 games and 8 more Wii classics) but this was one of the more appalling cash grabs I've seen in recent memory.

my advice: do not play with anyone 3 levels higher than you. Do not accept any weapons from them. Completely ruins the difficulty and subsequently, the game. If you have a mate that'll only play it when you're together, it's easily worth $7-15 in a holiday sale.

Did I not read the article correctly? It states it's NOT a DX12 game because the environment in UE4 isn't mature enough for their liking yet.

why? It'll be just like the last two Xmas. MS will outsell Sony by 400k October, November, and December then watch Sony outsell them 650k the following 9 months. Like I've always said these two will relatively split the market with Nintendo being the real loser in NA. To go from 42 million to hopefully 10 million by this generation's end, what MS really lost was the insulation Ninty provided against a Sony device.

"console exclusive". lol what is that, an oxymoron devised by insecure fanboys to make themselves feel better about the lack of exclusives on their platform of choice? Halo 5 and UC 4 are exclusives, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, and Street Fighter 5 aren't. This isn't rocket science.

Don't do the High Value Target quest he shows you in this vid. It's bugged and doesn't drop the legendary marks. My team completed it, got jobbed, and then confirmed it on a few forums that no one had earnd any either. It's easy but time consuming (going to orbit several times on the moon to spawn patrol).

you guys wanna talk about games getting a free pass? I won't mention the obvious targets. But just wait until Nov. 10th. Then we'll hear about how great FO4 is (88-92 meta I'm wagering) yet everyone will overlook the dozens of quest bugs, game breaking glitches, and corrupted saves. It's gotten so bad that I'll have to wait 6 months for the modding community to fix the POS before I can play it. Sad part is the PC crowd will be too busy fapping thier meat over a publisher r...

perhaps because of two reasons; the game released long after the movie was in theaters, and two, despite the critical reception, the movie lost money globally. We don't know the quality of Episode 7, yet as evidenced by 1-3, Star Wars will be huge regardless. I believe that was Life's point.

it's functionally bad like PSN circa 2007. The fact Nintendo bought a 10% stake in Dena and has them creating the online infrastructure for the Nx platform paints a very different scenario from your rosy picture

for me I don't know why they even bothered hiring a voice actor renowned as Nolan North when they were going to masquerade his voice with electronic synths. I think a lot of us expected Drake in a shell when we heard the announcement. It's a shame Bungie implemented that Johnny 5 twang to Nolan's voice. Who knows, Drake in a shell might've been pretty awesome had it been closer to smart ass Wheatley and less like what we got.

Company A and B both release new products in a fiscal quarter aimed at the same consumer. Company C releases an equivalent product 4 years later. It's pretty easy to deduce why a segment of consumers might be ambivalent towards COmpany C and its product. Now if Company C can show what the device lacks in power it makes up for in functionality then it can be very successful.

The Wii did just that. The WiiU hasn't. Time will tell on the Nx. I personally believe having ...

I hope so amigo, not just Morpheus but VR in general. I got to experience OR at a friend's house recently and then the father experiencing spaceflight and tearing up video have convinced me there are several industries that this technology could revolutionize. I'm glad Facebook got involved because this is bigger than gaming. Gaming could well be the vehicle that drives initial adoption rates but other industries can push mass market penetration better. Of course we'll have to loo...

Ya these are horrible numbers for Sony's flagship IP. Terrible decision to keep it on PS3 and not make it cross platform at launch. Ironic too as Driveclub was ultimately delayed while Sony has shown a propensity to releasing remasters (7 I count). Whoever was in charge of global software needs to be held accountable because several, high profile IPs made successful cross gen jumps without incident or criticism.

amigo it's not that I distrust JPR, I see the inherent problems each and every PC elitist refuses to admit - there are NO big budget IPs exclusive to PC. If the money was there so would the companies. The only 2 PC games with console sized budgets I can think of in recent memory: 1 was crowdfunded and the other was a failed MMO over 5 years in development and scrapped before it saw the light of day. I asked you a simple question and apparently you couldn't answer it. You deflected ans...

Did you research anything you provided in the link? WCC credits its source from another site, MCV. In turn they credit the analyst, John Peddie who also runs two PC tech enthusiast sites. No healthy bias there. While he focuses on the PC market he uses numbers suspiciously similar to Gartner's report:

Notice the disparity in numbers? Video game consoles e...

Could it also be conceivable that some of us prefer to utilize what we have now in front of us rather than wait an entire console lifecycle to experience this tech? For two years, that's all we've heard; cloud computing and now DX12. Crackdown3 drops next Xmas, remind me when is the first XB1 DX12 title scheduled to release? It'll be our 4th Xmas XB1s have been under the tree by the time we experience what the fans have been touting as killer next gen features. Ironic considering...

not only do I agree with WellyUK I have a real life situation which challenges that notion as well.

Xmas last year when lizard squad shut down PSN with the DDoS attack. I was one of the lucky ones who was already on PSN in the morning before my kids got up to open presents. I left the game room with the PS4 on by accident. Came back a couple hours and saw the ensuing shitstorm on the computer. I flew back to the tower and from there a group of random gamers all having zero f...

sigh....an article on PS4 exclusivity and 6 of the titles you don't need a PS4 to play. Some of the titles might not even ship this year. This is just as bad as the XB1 exclusive articles. I own the console too so is it really that hard to admit, with UC4's delay, that this year's crop of PS4 exclusives could be considered disappointing to some people?

NeoGAF. When the July NPD results were announced, MS issued a statement that YoY XB1 sales were up 44%. Posters used last year's numbers to extrapolate the 189k. NPD insider, Creamsugar, then posted a pie graph showing the month's percentages (48% PS4, 42% XB1, 10% WiiU).
