Nintendo needs to totally change its model. It can't compete in the highend, and it's best IP doesn't need that much horsepower to be fun to play. Focus everything on cutting the cost to make the console. Get it down so you can retail for $50-$100. Work with Google to fix your online, streaming and social capabilities. Google wants a $50 streaming box that plays android games, why can't it play Wii U games too? Focus on cheap fun and your IP.

No its not. It is a 7.0/10.0. I hate having to say that as I was extremely excited for it, and bought it the second I could (digitally). I played it for 3 hours yesterday and at the end of the day I went back to DOTA2.

It has 2 things going for it. The combat system is pretty deep. And the Nemesis system is awesome.

However - the graphics are average even on a high end PC (I have 7970 GHZ edition and an 1800x2560 30" monitor). The landscape is extr...

Game looks nearly identical on all 3. If I showed images side by side and asked fanboys to pick which was which - no one would get 8, 9 or 10 out of 10. More importantly it plays EXACTLY the same.

I played for a few hours yesterday. I have to admit it’s not as good as I thought it would be. I give it a 7/10 – I was expecting an 8 or 9. Don't get me wrong - there are some GREAT things in there. The combat system is fairly deep. And the Nemesis system is brilliant - ...

But but but XBOX is soooo weak it can possible have a good looking game!

Wow 1st time Ive heard a Sony/GT fan say they want GT to mimic FH2. Shows how good of a game it is.

In before "shifted is not sold". Ohh wait the PS4 trolls are to fast for me.

Seriously, good show xbox. Probably sells 250k in first week and 1.5mm in 1st year (full 12 months).

87.5% avg review score for this and FH2. And you know MCC will be in the mid or high 90s. The next few months are gonna be killer for Xbone!

Doesn't really matter, who is going to buy Project Cars over FH2? This will sell 100x more copies on PS4 Vs Xbone because Xbone owners have better options.

Last gen every time they put out a new model they too away a feature. I have 3 PS3s and the only one I use is the big as 1st model with SACD support.

I think it's funny that "gamers" think this guy is trolling like they do. This guy is paid millions a year to analyze media companies including game companies for professional investors. I know because the hedge fund I worked at for 6 years had a media group that invested in these companies and thus spent a lot of time talking to this guy. I'm not saying he is always right, just that he is giving you a well researched professional opinion - not a rant.

As...

Dwayne Wade isn't a top 5 SG. He WAS the best in the league 4-5 years ago, but his game has aged horribly. I say this as a Heat fan. And Durant is better then LeBron. You will get to see that this year. LeBron has coasted against much weaker teams in the East with a killer supporting cast. Now he has returned to Cleveland, the dream crusher for all professional athletes.

More N4G blatant hypocrisy. Won't run any articles about Sony's severe financial problems or lack of games, won't run anything about poor WiiU sales. But they will take the least factual, worst written speculative anti Xbox article and put it as a featured article.

Xbox One doesn't need "saving". It's selling great. This Holiday will be monstrous. And X box One will sell more units in China then Sony will in Japan and China COMBINED. Sony ...

Author is clueless. This has nothing to do with Xbox/PS4. This has to do with really detailed, uncompressed textures. Just look at fully nodded Skyrim. It needs 3gb+. Trust me I have 2x5870 and while I have the grunt of a 7970 ghz edition, I can't run Skyrim in Ultra due to 1gb of VRAM. I get like 1FPS. Nvidia and AMD knew this was coming and have been putting 3/4/6/8 gb on their new cards, but people ripped them for it. 8 core CPUs are also going to become more useful for gaming....

Piracy is theft, it is illegal and no different then shop lifting. Pirates should get jail time not just fines. Buying used games is 100% legal. If the game companies want to make it harder by taking away online features, or using subscriptions/digital/DLC fine. But that disclosure is yours to sell as you like.

MSFT has an investment in Facebook, so they could go that route to VR. But I think they will wait another 5-10 years. MSFT is not a first mover. They go into a market after a few other people and iterate and improve and make it mass market. MSFT bought DOS and improved it. Windows came after the Mac OS. Office was after Lotus. Xbox was after Sony. Surface was after Ipad. Etc...

The PS4 isn't powerful enough for VR, so Xbone is even further away. You need 1080p ...

N4G won't post any articles about Sony's financial difficulties but they will post every rtard article about the Xbone being doooooommmmed!

Holliday 2014 is going to be amazing for Xbone. DR3, F5, Titanfall will be a valuable as "Classics" for $29.99 With FH2, SO and MCC posting the strongest review scores of any games this gen.

PS4 will also have a strong holliday. It will obviously outsell the Xbone everywhere but the US, UK and China. ...

Highly doubtful. PS4 is nowhere near powerful enough. VR needs 1080p to each eye at OVER 60 FPS. PS5 should be capable, but Sony will probably go bankrupt before that. And console gamers dont start buying en mass until the console gets under $200. Sony fans will not fork out $300-$400 for an add on to a $400 console. And even if they don't sell Playstation to Google, Apple or Amazon, the inability of the PS4 to deliver a good VR experience at a low price will result in the project g...

IMO we don't need Kinetic games, we need more games with Kinetic enhancements. Being able to call audibles and timeouts in Madden, voice control of your NAV system in FH2, or simple multiplayer chat are all good examples. Sure they could be done with a cheaper mic, but millions of us already have a Kinect.

Are there any non-mobile video cards with 6gb currently? I know they plan on launching a 980 with 8gb but who knows when.

I think this is awesome. I've been telling people next gen games and 4k will need a lot of gpu RAM. Guess I will wait to get my new PC until I can get an 8gb card.
