I guarantee it won't be a success on the WiiU. Same applies to Bayonetta 2.
Before you jump on my back, I'm not saying that I hope they bomb on it because I love the Yakuza series and Bayonetta. The more the merrier. More sales = more money = more games that I like being made.
Not much of an advantage for people that don't connect to the internet. Also, not much of an advantage when developers can't count on the cloud computing being available for every single customer. Not very fair to the Xbone users if one person gets a superior experience for the exact same game, on the exact same console, at the exact same price.
If MS institutes a used game block/fee/whatever, it's pretty obvious that Sony will have to follow suit. Publishers aren't going to stand for Sony not doing the same thing as MS. Whether it was all originally planned and they wanted it to look like it was MS that spearheaded it and they're reluctantly following or not, bottom line, either they both block used games or they both don't.
The major difference being the PS4 is a very standard architecture that devs can program for in their sleep. The Cell, not so much.
So Cell was powerful but you had to know the tricks to get the best performance out of it. The PS4 is extremely powerful AND extremely easy to code for. PS4 versions of multiplats will be held to the same standard as PC versions, with XB1 lagging behind with lower framerate and poorer textures, effects, AI, etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the TiVo also the digital receiver? Sorry, we don't have tivo's here so I don't know if it's a separate box on top of the receiver.
But if it's also the receiver, I fail to see how xb1 is going to destroy it when the receiver is required. Cable TV isn't going straight to the xb1 free of charge. The receiver needs to be in place and your tv subscription still needs to be paid.
I don't see the benefit of the live tv feature. It's not like I can just buy the X1 and cancel my cable subscription. I still need to pay my monthly tv bill and I still need to keep my receiver. So instead of it being receiver>TV. It's receiver>x1>TV. What's the big deal?
Last I checked you can pause your game and switch over to live tv since the NES. Oh mean suspending gameplay to watch TV? You can do that with the PS4. Suspend at anytime, instant r...
Anyone who's spent time on Kotaku knows they're just a sensationalist rag looking for clicks. I never go their site anymore because I don't want to waste my time or give them ad revenue.
Marcus was being generous when he called kotaku writers "journalists."
lol, what you see is what you get. MS doesn't have a great stable of 1st party devs.
And yet another juvenile nintendo booster that doesn't understand the point of a post. The point wasn't that nintendo exclusives don't sell you nimrod. The point was that Nintendo exclusives don't matter in terms of the "console race" at large. Nintendo exclusives is what sells Nintendo consoles but their exclusives are of a very specific nature which has zero impact on someone not interested in mario.
As I clearly stated in my first post, nintendo ...
It's smart and not so smart. On the one hand they have a huge installed base to sell the game to so the game will be a success. But on the otherhand, imagine how fast PS4s would have flown off of store shelves with GT6 available at launch?
Making it cross-gen would have been the best option but I guess the drastic diff in architecture would make it impossible/too costly.
Nintendo exclusives don't really matter to the general public. Only diehard nintendo fans salivate at yet another game with the word "mario" in it.
How is the next-gen any different from previous ones? Nintendo fans buy nintendo consoles. Those that aren't are not going to be swayed into buying one after looking at a list filled with mario, zelda, luigi, pokemon.
4 out of the 9 are Sony exclusives with The Witness at least a timed exclusive.
If you want a diverse selection of games, a Sony console is a must.
You buy a WiiU to play Nintendo games, not 3rd party. I really don't know why this is always in the news. It's been the case with the Gamecube (to a lesser extent), definitely for the Wii, DS, 3DS, and now WiiU.
People who buy Nintendo products buy them for first party games. They don't give a crap about 3rd party games because whatever 3rd party titles there are, no one buys them.
There aren't going to be ANY 3rd party exclusives next-gen. There's no way Sony or MS would pay devs/pubs enough to compensate them for the loss in 50% of their potential audience. This gen has shown that multiplatform is the way to go for 3rd parties. I'm clearly not counting the truckload of Kinect exclusives for obvious reasons.
The only exclusive titles the PS and Xbox will have are from first-party studios.
Stop your whining about voice actors. Jesus christ. If Kevin Conroy gets too old, dies, or just retires, you'd rather they retire the Batman character from all media than hear another voice?
Bruce Greenwood, Adam Baldwin, and Peter Weller have all done a great job already.
Of course there's cross-over with the two audiences, but for the most part, Sony/MS users aren't that big on Nintendo and vice versa. It's not a hard and fast rule however. There's nothing wrong with owning multiple consoles or liking nintendo games. I'm just saying the two companies really serve different markets.
Nintendo will always be around because they have their fanbase, as does Sony and Microsoft.
But even if you are a nintendo fa...
Not sure why there's this "vs" debate all the time. Nintendo consoles are strictly for Nintendo fans. Just look at their recent game announcements. Mario golf, mario party, mario and luigi, paper mario, yoshi's island, wind waker remake, ALTTP 2, donkey kong, etc...
If you love those franchises, you have nintendo hardware. If you don't love them, you don't. It's pretty simple. It's pretty damned clear they're not competing with one anothe...
This is a great game that everyone should play. You can't go wrong for $15/$12 for PS+.
Guacamelee isn't on the list = bad list.
So it sold like utter crap on PS3 and 360 combined on platforms where the audience loves 3rd person hack and slash games and you honestly think it will sell BETTER on a Nintendo console where traditionally 3rd party games sell horribly? Not to mention the first game was never on any Nintendo consoles.
Next up, the game wasn't popular on PS360 so it's not very likely that Bayonetta 2 is going to be the game that puts people on the fence over the top on whether to buy ...
