I'm not talking about streaming them. I'm talking about releasing the software that emulates the Xbox 360 hardware on Windows 10, and selling Xbox 360 games directly through the Windows 10 store on PC. That way people can buy and play Xbox 360 games on PC without needing an Xbox One or an Xbox 360, the games run natively on Windows 10 instead via the emulation software.
The guy handling it already said that the software that enables Xbox 360 emulation on Xbox One is a...
I really don't see the point of this Xbox App unless they're gonna start putting a lot of games on the store for people to buy. If they don't commit fully and actually make this into something worthwhile it will just be a huge waste. Sure it's nice for people who own an Xbox to message their friends I guess, but Microsoft really need to take this seriously and push ahead.
They've said it will have Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Fable Legends and Minecraft....
I hope that whatever this new Titanfall game is comes to Steam rather than being relegated to EA's Origin service on PC. I love the game but being on Origin obviously hurt it a lot since people really dislike the service. I wish EA would just put their games on Steam again, the playerbase would not doubt balloon from the jump as well and those of us who only use Origin for Titanfall could finally ditch it.
"We all know BC wasnt possible with PS4 because the PS3 was so exotic so give it a rest. What do you want Sony to do, put a Cell chip in every PS4 so it can play old games?"
Absolutely. That's how they always did it in the past, the PS2 had the PS1 CPU inside and when the PS3 launched they had the 60GB version with the PS2's Emotion Engine inside. They gave consumers a choice and said that if you want BC, here's a more expensive version of the console th...
So this method of playing old games on new hardware is completely different to that method of playing old games on new hardware? Interesting. Since you're taking the time to troll, I'd love to hear your argument that water is not wet as well.
Yeah, backwards compatibility is a must, especially in an age with so much digital content. It's not like you need to keep your old phone/computer/music player etc. around to play old content when you upgrade, is it? Video game consoles shouldn't be the special exception to this. It's an established rule with the vast majority of digital content.
Buy digital music? It works on new devices you buy. Purchase digital apps? They work on your new phones when you upgrad...
"New games are what matters most"
Yup. Interesting how the lack of native backwards compatibility has conveniently allowed for overpriced remasters however... And who can forget ridiculously overpriced streaming services as well?
That should tell you all you need to know about why the PS4 lacks native backwards compatibility. It's greed, plain and simple.
When I said that Microsoft had them I was speaking plain English. The games are on Xbox, they are not on PlayStation. The whole point is that they could have been on PlayStation because the developers approached Sony, who made foolish decisions and passed up on good games because of greed. I mean gee, you mention games like The Order which Sony apparently own the IP for, but who got the better deal there? I'd much rather have Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive.
Also, you ment...
Aren't poor sales actually a strong reason for porting a game to other platforms? To try and recoup as much money from development as possible?
I've no idea how Sunset Overdrive sold however. Insomniac have said it exceeded sales expectations and that they were very happy with its performance, but people on N4G are saying it didn't sell very well? Seems kinda like Titanfall, where the actual companies involved say the game sold brilliantly but people on N4G say ot...
A friend of mine has an Xbox and the first thing that struck me is how quiet the thing is, it's literally silent in operation which is a big difference to my PS4 which gets really noisy. It seems the fans kick in the most for 60fps games like The Last of Us and Diablo 3, whereas the Xbox is always silent. I guess that's a perk of not having hardware crammed into such a small space, more room to breathe without getting so hot that the fans go crazy.
I remember seeing something where Ted Price was pretty open about the fact they approached Sony first but they refused unless they got to own the IP, so then they went to Microsoft instead who were more cooperative. It's the same thing with the team who made Titanfall saying they went to Sony first as well, but in their case they were just refused dev kits so had to pass on a PS4 release as well.
So yeah, we have a pretty good idea of how the deals went down when the deve...
I agree, Sony really screwed up by letting this game slip through their fingers. It could have been a PS4 exclusive if they weren't so greedy and stubborn about owning the IP, but instead it slipped through their fingers and Microsoft got the game instead. Sony needed this game more than Microsoft as well, whoever said no to Insomniac shouldn't be in charge of making these kinda deals.
I've been hoping that the game would come to PC if a PS4 release wasn't going to happen, but it seems that even a PC port is unlikely now which is really frustrating. The game looks awesome fun and I've yet to see a bad thing said about it, so I'd have been all over a PS4 or PC release. Hopefully they make a sequel and it's multiplatform, although I'm probably just gonna buckle and buy an Xbox soon anyways.
My only console is a PS4 so I can't comment on Xbox or Wii games but yeah, Bloodborne is a classic in my opinion. I love the way the story begins to unfold later in the game and completely changes the way you view everything (introducing the Lovecraft themes), and the combat and level design is close to perfect. Brilliant game.
I got a PC copy of Titanfall and would add that to the list as well, definitely a classic in the multiplayer genre and it's crazy to see just ...
Impressive, no?
I think my most anticipated exclusive however is the PS3/360/PS4/XB1/PC exclusive Metal Gear Solid 5.
No mention of Katamari? For shame.
Speaking of which, I really wish Namco would release a Katamari game for PS4. They could go really crazy with the size of levels and amount of objects with current gen hardware.
Ah yes of course, wanting the Uncharted Collection to be better and have all the content of the original games obviously means that I'm a troll who supposedly doesn't have a PS4.
Strange, considering you're the one with the long history of fanboy trolling on this website.
Imagine if you bought the latest release of that film and a huge amount of scenes were missing :p
Why wouldn't you want this on Steam?
Funny seeing EDMIX talking about Microsoft funding IPs that go to PC and insisting Sony doesn't do the same when we've got games like Sreet Fighter V, No Man's Sky, Shenmue 3 all in the exact same situation as the one he's trying to paint as bad haha. Always sad to see fanboys contradict themselves so embarrassingly when they're trolling.
On the topic of Kamiya however, this doesn't look very promising if Microsoft are treating him bad. Scalebound has bee...
