I must be in the no Freeze zone.
I find it strange that everyone is on this code idea, when the evidence has always been that Ryse looks like a crapola game. The gameplay has looked clunky and not smooth since it was revealed, yes they got many QTE's changed to colors but the combat still looks like crap and the animations are not smooth nor fluid for a hack and slash type game.
This pea soup green is not appealing, MS should bring back the brigther color green from the original xbox. The original packaging from the original xbox was so nice looking it caught your eye when looking around in stores.
The FACT is MS saw another way to get $100 to 150 out of gamers by including it in the box. I think the hardware should have been made stronger in the X1 and made the Kinect sold seperately.
I have yet to see a game or app that is innovative and make the Kinect necessary and we are 3 years into this Kinect experiment and it gets an F grade score in my book.
Lastly, what is so great or innoovative about the function of the Kinect. Voice activation? Come on ...
I like the author of this opinion piece was primarily a 360 multiplatform player due to the controller and I have not tried either. I look forward to, but this isn't the first time I have heard the new DS4 is better than the X1 controller and some of the complaints regarding the X1 have been echoed before, which means it maybe true.
First, it seems the analogs sticks on the X1 have ridges that actually cause your thumb pain after awhile or grip to hard.

It's disappointing. Next Gen needs to do better than that. This is DICE's fault. Killzone has open worlds gameplay and destroys those visuals, it doesn't have the destructible environments like BF4, but DICE has clearly dropped the ball here and it is obvious the concentration has been on PC build with little effort put into the PS4 and X1 builds.
I agree with many posters that have said the art work looks bland and it does, it truely does. It's almost ste...
The visuals and atmosphere are there in spades. The voice acting sounded solid in the trailer. I am hoping the gameplay feels good as I really really enjoyed Dishonored. I am hoping this game is quality like Dishored was.
Major Nelson is the CRAZY EDDIE of the gaming industry. He is basically Microsofts public salesman and he will say things vaguely or bend the truth to make their product seem better than their competition, when its not, just to get your money.
Come on Hryb, oh um, EDDIE tell us the complete details about 4K gaming. You know native vs upscale, etc. Stop the vague bulletpoints you dumb***.
You guys need to stop this pipe dream about either the X1 or PS4 having 4k gaming it's going to happen. X1 has a low end PC graphics card and PS4 has a mid tier card. 4k gaming is for the high end big dogs. The dual and quad Titans of the world.
Not going to happen. 4k gaming isn't going to happen on either the X1 or PS4. 4k movie playback is possible, but not gaming because the hardware is not strong enough and that is fact. Hell X1 can't get Ryse at 1080p with all the bells and whistles and you think its going to support 4k. Keep dreaming buddy.
I would like to see a woman take over Major Nelsons duties and get some young blood out there doing some PR. Major Nelson has been at this to long, you should move along buddy and give someone else a chance.
More articles on Destiny please, as it looks to be a more compelling game.

IF you think PS4 games look like Sh** compared to X1 games then maybe your a little bias. I found the new Killzone and Resogun to be excellent looking for launch titles.
Lastly what are these great looking X1 games that look so much better? Forza is a racer and not grapically intensive. Ryse doesn't even run in true hd its 900p. What else?
Glad they saw the light, but they were such arses it took a major gaming community outcry to get the reversals. IT still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Either way I am looking forward to new consoles as it's been far to long between generations, it needs to be five years max. The 360 will be eight years old when the new X1 arrives and the PS3 seven years when PS4 hits shelves. Yes there has been great games in those addition years but the cycle is to long, these new machines are going to be outdated in short time if not already.
My guess is the game needs to go gold in two or three weeks. They will need to start replicating copies by months end I imagine to be ready for launch, so other than polish I would say what you see is what you get.
What they announce something like three different builds with different PC parts, that is not a console. A console is the same unified build....not three different types. What they announced was a mini PC housed as a console with no unified build.
I am not knocking it, but just making an observation.
32mb of ESRAM is a bandaid not a solution.
I don't care one way or the other and what I do know is in about 6 to 7 weeks these will be out and bechmarked and there won't be anymore hiding for PR sake. If I were a betting man I would bet PS4 with better performance.
Microsoft has never said the X1 is more powerful than PS4 cause they know that's not true or at least I have not seen anything where they have. All the talk has been from behind to make the case that the X1 can be competitivewith the PS4, wh...
Well j-blaze it might be because TLOU is one of three GOTY canidates. Maybe because TLOU is a personal and emotional game with a great story.
