The problem with this is that a lot of games are guilty of something like this. While we all want it to stop do we really want to bankrupt a bunch of devs to make a bunch of lawyers rich? We aren't going to get anything out of it.
I have a feeling this is being released only in China for a reason. Otherwise I would be very jealous.
God I don't have time to play all these amazing games. Is this already available for PS4 or is it coming later? Just weird they only mention Xone. No technical reason they can't have it, and I doubt MSFT would pay for exclusivity for these.
Agree, best looking game so far. Maybe not technically (resolution or framerate), but the scale and scope of the landscape is amazing. And there is NO difference between Xone and PS4. It's not about technical BS and a few extra pixels. It's about artwork and ambition in design.
Now that is how you make up for a poor launch! Looking at you Drive Club, Ubisoft.
I can't wait to see how the Sony Ponies spin this as bad for Xone owners.
Everyone with half a brain knows that AMD cpus bottleneck games. Even the "highend" desktop AMD CPUs bottleneck the hell out of games. That's why Mantle is needed. These consoles have mid range gpus and TABLET cpus. It's understandable. What is the cheapest core I with 4 cores and hyperthreading? You can't afford to put that in a $300 console.
Seems like people just don't get the idea of diminishing returns. A 40% advantage in pixels doesn'...
I thought the game was reasonably challenging until maybe mid way through. Then I could flip over a guy to stun, shadow strike him 8 times for a kill, then pull off 2 executions. Suddenly a warlord and 5 henchmen with all their goons was just a button mash fest. Then I got brand and it was just stupid easy.
I don't feel like industrial, arena levels are very good for showing off new hardware. I want to see big open levels with shot tons of enemies and destructible terrain.
Please note, I am giving you an argument for how the Xone COULD beat the PS4. I agree with you that the Xone MIGHT win the US, but will loose worldwide.
The 360 sold more units then the original Xbox, the Xone is selling more then the 360. Also Xone sales in the US are UP 25% year over year. DX 12 and Azure actually deliver, and Xone ends up delivering a noticeably superior experience for Xone owners. It's called positive momentum. XONE sells 100 million units+ this g...
But your fans have spent the last 2 years arguing it's not possible. So the PS5 might be in the cloud, and before that MSFT might be able to simply increase the power of the Xone by sending resources over the cloud. Haha fan boys. Your sacred Sony said you are full of s#/t.
Working on a VR kit yes. Unlikely it's for the Xone. You need 1080p to each eye at 120hz. That's 12-16 Tflops of power depending on how many effects you want. SLI 980s are needed. Maybe for next gen. Xone and PS4 jumped power 5x-6x over 360 and PS3 and bumped RAM 16x. We would need to do that again for next gen to have good VR.
Article is worst games of the year, not most hyped or biggest disappointment.

That is a non-fanboy list. DESTINY, Drive Club, Unity are 10x better then those titles.
In 2 years (2016) Nintendo releases Fusion with 4.6 terraflops of GOD grunt. We will see if games look much better then on PS4 (1.8 TF) or Xone (1.3 TF). I don't think they will.
The next big step in graphic fidelity will be when we can put a 1080p screen in front of each eye at 120hz for mind blowing VR. IMO you need 12-16 TFlops to do that.
Where are all the Sony fan Bois that said MSFT was full of it when they said they would sell 10mm u its "Soon". MSFT might crack 11 million in its 1st year. That will be 3 million more then 360.
AMD strongly hinted that they would be releasing chips for a new Nintendo Handheld and Console in 2016. The console is supposed to be 2.5x faster then PS4 and 3.5x the Xone. The handheld will be as fast as the Galaxy S6 that's about to release.
AMD told the stock market they would make $1 billion off the contract over 3 years.
All that matters is Xone beating the 360 so we continue to have gen on gen growth and support from 3rd party developers. I thin Xone will end up winning the English speaking countries, but it really doesn't matter.
What should matter to PS4 fans is when Sony's phone, TV and film businesses will stop bleeding money. It would be a shame for PS4 to win the battle and loose the war.
Only parts of it are procedurally generated. The core of the game is designed by humans. Its not No Mans Sky. Which is a GOOD thing.
SONY COWARDS!
Yes lets judge a game that was just announced as a failure because its for MSFT. F'ing N4G.
I thought they were going to talk about how the game has a story rather then being just a sandbox exploration platform. I'm hoping they tell us something that makes this a game and not just a platform.
