Anyone want to offer up a neutral evaluation of the gfx? I'm on my cell right now. We're the gfx really revolutionary? Something that can't be done in 900p on Xone.
MSFT now outselling PS4 by nearly 50% in US and tied globally. That's a lot like last gen. I wonder if this will be how it is for the rest of the gen. A lot of people on here are assuming it's going to magically go back to Sony lead in in the US and blowing away MSFT globally, as if MSFT is dumb enough to raise prices and take away bundles after xmas.
I tant to see how the Sony show goes today, and MSFT does something in response.
The one thing we don't know is if it's a timed exclusive. If it's more then 6 months it may as well not come out for PS4 because it won't sell.
Terrible list.

Lots of cool indies and multi plats too, but those aren't reasons to buy 1 console over the other.
45 min of game play or 45 min of scripted film? They MUST prove Order isn't just a pretty, on rails shooter with no plot and no multiplayer. If it's just a bunch of QTEs then wipe this right off that list of titles that Sony has for early 2015.
They also need to show that the delay on Bloodbourne wasn't because it's a buggy mess. I'm also interested to see what it does that dark/demon souls dosent. Dark/Demon souls have a hard core following, but they ...
I'm sick of all the VGchartz bashing. They are the best source of weekly numbers out there. NPD in monthly and weeks late. It's also US only. The manufacturers only give numbers every 3 months and they are 45 days later. Vgchartz isnt perfect, they even say themselves it's +/- 20%. But unless you have a better source of actual numbers (not just Amazon rankings) give some respect for their efforts. And stop accusing them of intentional bias. That wouldn't even make sens...
Not sure this game needs mods. I will be sick of it before I finish the main quest. I have 80 hours in already and I'm Like 25% through the main plot.
It doesn't need to be f2p, but it can't be a $60 game. Maybe charge $5 per character unlock. That way you can also let people demo it by unlocking a random character for free for a week.
Online needs to be flawless and matchmaking / community banning needs to be really solid.
They need tournaments, not just random matches. Lots of different options for tournaments like double elimination, looser brackets, captains drafts, no doubles, random fighter...
Will probably be a PS4 exclusive.

SF4 sold 4 mm copies on PS3. That's 0.46% of total software sales. It was only ranked #35 in best selling PS3 titles. 14.25% of those copies sold in Japan, while Japan makes up just 8.5% of total software sales. So Ex-Japan this title just won't move the needle.
AND FYI while SF4 was 0.46% of PS3 software sales, Tomb Raider is 0.675% of Xone software sales. Slight more important, but still irrelevant. COD is 15.0% of Xone software sales. You want to make an imp...
Yes. I think its undeniable.
PS3 had 3,151 games. 154 were fighters = 4.9%. PS3 sold 861.5 million copies of games. 47.15 million were fighters = 5.5%. (If you do the math you will see that Ex-Japan fighters are a measly 5.3% of the market for Sony).
360 had 3,601 games. 132 were fighters = 3.7%. 306 sold 918 million copies of games. 35.8 million were fighters = 3.9%.
Thus on a relative basis fighting games are 30%-40% more popular am...
Guys - this game is bad. Please don't waste your $$ on it. I was in Beta. If it was F2P it would be worth giving it a shot - but not at $60 +$15x12
What we need from Sony are playable demos of the Order and Bloodbourne that are engaging and fun.
All of the demos so far for the Order have said its an on rails shooter, like a beautiful movie with a bad plot and single player only. No thank you! Maybe Sony will show something that changes my mind?
Bloodbourne is HIGHLY anticipated, but I haven't heard much about hands on experience - and the recent delay is troubling. They need to prove to fans this ...
Street Fighter 4 sold 4 million copies on PS3 - out of 861.5 million total game sales = 0.46%.
Street Fighter 4 sold 2.8 million copies on 360 - out of 918 million total game sales = 0.3%.
Now lets apply to the current situation.
PS4 has sold 57 million copies of software x 0.46% - So Capcom could expect 260,000 copies of SF5 to sell on PS4.
XOne has sold 32 million copies of software x 0.3% - So Capcom could expect less then...
Street Fighter 4 sold 4 million copies worldwide on PS3 with an install base of 80 million+. It was #35 all time for PS3 titles. All 154 fighting titles for PS3 sold a combined 5% of total PS3 software. Not a big deal. The only fighter that moves the needle anymore is SSBM.
If you want fighters to make a comeback you need to recreate that arcade, smack talking feeling or you need to mimic the 4 or 8 way action of SSBM.
The single player game should be ign...
Not sure how relevant fighting games are outside of party games like SSBM. SS4 was only the 35th best selling title on the PS3. Tekken 6 was #2 at 57th. Mortal Combat was #3 at 62. If you took all 154 fighting titles for the PS3 (including wrestling, MMA and boxing) they moved 47mm titles. That's roughly 5% of total PS3 software sales.
I think the best way to do these going forward is to make them F2P, focus on online and sell each character unlock for $5 and costume...
Dragon Age should be GOTY. For awhile I was going to say it was in the running for GOAT, but I really am sick of searching for Elfroot. It would have been even better if they had cut out some of the blander fetch and collect quests and made a really tight 50-60 hour game instead of 100-200 hours. And NO the side quests really aren't optional. Im playing on hard mode and you really have to do a lot of grinding to level to stand a chance vs MOBS. Oh and did I mention Elfroot? Yeah FFF...
To be honest I would be much more interested in MSFT doing the same kind of thing. We all know what the release schedule looks like for Sony. Order, Bloodbourne then UC (I know I am leaving out a number of others). But for Xone I have no idea when to expect Fable, GOW, Crackdown, or really anything other then Halo 5 - which is Oct/Nov 2015.
I'm sure MSFT has lots of AAAs lined up - but why don't we know more about them? I guess they want to avoid the delay and poo...
GOTY - Dragon Age. Mordor as #2.
RPG - Dragon Age. Mordor as #2.
Best Remake - Halo MCC. GTA as #2. TLOU is #3. All VERY, VERY good, but Halo is 4 games!
Action - Mordor. No idea what is #2.
Racing - FH2. Mario Cart #2.
Narrative - Iron Throne.
Shooter - FarCry 4. Wolf as #2.
Fighter - SSBM. KI as #2.
Handheld - SSBM with Pokémon as #2.
Is this a shot at Massive Chalice for Xone?
