Controllers are like a pair of jeans. You play with what make you most comfortable. I like the DS4's grips. but I hate the triggers and the position of the left stick. I just cant play FPS/TPS games comfortably with my left stick positioned where my D-pad should be. I also prefer the XB1s nintendo style D-pad. Cant beat the classic cross d-pad.
I hate that the XB1 pad does not come with rechargable battery but, I like that it is not permanently attached to my controlle...
Not limited to MS. But it is VERY costly when you consider how many servers are needed to service X amount of consoles.MS is not short of servers, resources, technology or the brains to use them. And thats putting it lightly. They are investing in even more servers over the next few years for all sorts of reason, but it is all part of their 30 billion dollar azure setup.
Cost, infrastructure and expertise are the main factors here. MS has those in spades, hence why they can do ...
The console will still be needed for a least a few more gens yet. The nextbox wont have its dev costs eaten into by an expensive camera add on. I have no doubt that the next xbox will be the more powerful of the next gen consoles, for this very reason. Plus their use of cloud compute in games will be far more advanced in 5-7 years than it is now. So when applied to their next console , we will see some seriously impressive stuff. They may even be a bit more liberal with performance on the ser...
"Plus, ya know. People have been making fun of cloud for about 2 years now. So im sure people are force feeding the crow to them now."
^^This. I lost count of how many times MS and the opinions of xbox gamers were crucified on N4G. It was a daily thing around here until gamescom happened. the crow has been served now. As for xbox gamers..well...see yall on crackdown next summer. ;) . buildings will fall..cities will be reduced to rubble on an unseen before level. in th...
Looks way cooler than my Steinmayer. probably a lot more expensive too!
@Pixelart
LOL, cry me a river..did something I said to the 'big man' hit a nerve with you? He is a big boy. He can speak for himself, or take it up with my inbox. Tell you what..Im off to keys in september..I will work out my non existent daddy issues at the bottom of a Blanchisseuse s/ ... lol
Wasnt bigging myself up btw..I simply suggested he goes and enjoys his life a bit more instead of telling people how to enjoy their consoles. And as usual th...
"first of all troll article"
Its a simple question. What do you prefer a remaster of BC. Why would that be trolling. Its not like like XB1= BC VS PS= remaster. XB1 has both. So what is your problem with the OP?
"and how many more do we need? we get it you Xbox fans are happy. why can't you enjoy it without having to push it down our throats. come on man"
who is "shoving it down your throat"? You are the one that chose...
1000% agree. PS4 can boast 1080P and xbox can have the more sophisticated AI and physics. everybody gets what they want that way. And Im sure DX12 will help with XB1 on the visual side. The cloud aint meant for graphics..yet. We will have to wait on MS (or maybe Nvidia) to do that one but we are a ways away from that. for now its physics and AI
Dont forget:
"900P is last gen" .. while forgetting that the best looking game on PS4 runs at 900P.
"I only play 1080P/60FPS" ...while forgetting that no AAA PS4 games run at 1080P/60FPS
"XBL goes down as much as PSN"...while not realising that apps, temporarily not working on XBL does not equal XBL going down, and that we can STILL play online.
And my fave..."who cares how good your games are? SAL...
"and to some of you that are saying Sony won't or can't do it SMH."
With what money?
"I hope you realize they acquired a cloud based company for over 330 million dollars and bought the tech for onlive"
Lol...MS spent 20 Billion on azure.Thats a hell of a lot more than 330 million. Thats the kind of money you need to invest in tech that can do what crackdown is doing. I hope you realise THAT. It will save you years of dis...
"Sony could partner with Microsoft for this like they have in the past. The two companies do business with each other on a daily basis. "
I cant see MS doing that. I dont think they are in the business of helping anybody that is a direct competitor to xbox.
"Remote computing is a real thing, but right now have huge limits and before jumping on your seat ask yourself why not every X1 games use this tech"
Two things. Firstly, it was...
@BlackTar187
LOL...wow...such a pointless rant. You almost sound bitter.Like you got a minger of a wife or something And your attempts at sarcasm are terrible. Im surprised you have a wife. you clearly dont have much of a sense of humour and you clearly cant leave your console at home on a vacation. I cant imagine her being happy with a man child who doesnt let go of his toys. You sure, YOU aint the kid in your family? I was just making friendly conversation and you end up ha...
"I've brought my console to family vacations that either don't have stong enough connection or don't support it thru out the house"
The only thing I would say to that is, if you have to bring a games console on vacation, you are not really enjoying your vacation. I would rather be getting toasted at a rum hut on the beach to some music with freinds, than sitting in a resort playing video games. I could do that back home. Live a little. ;)
My finely honed halo spartan instincts are ready.
Same here. I dont think I have had a an off line console since 2005, and that was my first Xbox, PS2 and gamecube. I remember when I first got XBL. tried a 1 month trial that came with PGR. Made my first online friends. Whoopped some ass online on PDZ and DOA. Then it expired. Thought nothing of it for the first few days, then realised I was starting to miss all the online stuff. And my first few XbL friends. Bought a year sub and have renewed it every year since 2006.
A consol...
Im certainly not slating the campaign. I enjoyed them. all of them. I play story mode once, by myself and again on legendary with skulls turned on with friends in online co op. I dont bother with split screen . All my friends have xbox anyway. But after beating it it twice Im playing MP for years on end.
I like the look of giant guardians and the fact that we will see a covenant world for the first time. Given that the campaign is bigger than halo 4s and the fact that they do not want to give away too much of the games story, I think the writer is worrying too much.
Yup.
I remember When I used to play the first crackdown in MP. Sometime when I had low level friends I would pick them up and throw them at stuff. or pick up lamposts and cars and throw it at them. But I mostly liked throwing them. Until they became level 50s as well.
"Overpowered battles in fighting games. I remember some blue copycat character in Dead Or Alive 4 (final boss maybe?) that was just the definition of annoying and overpowered for my younger self at the time!"
Trust me, they are lightweights compared to what SNK dishes up in the old king of fighters games. And VF2 on saturn after learning from you..that one was a problem that only went away when you wiped your saves.
dark souls felt like a game that ...
