Yeah i keep wondering about that as well, people are severaly overreacting.
@studio
What are you talking abotut, on your XB1 you can even loan your games to 10 people in your list, even if they live on the other side of the planet.
If that aint owning, i dont know what is.
Opinions, opinions,
While i agree on half you said, i personally think KI looks great.
Thats really opinion, whether the lineup is strong or not.
For me Forza and Dead rising are killer apps, while the Ps4 line does not interest me at all.
I do however am proud that a fellow dutch company is able to pull of such an impressive game as Killzone, but it just isnt my cup of tea.
And quite frankly, the rest you mentioned doesnt even deserve to be in the same sentence as Killzone.
btw, Killer instinct is also launchin...
Why dont you grow up.
In 2013, no indeed.
I think MS doesnt have enough consoles ready to go for a full global release.
So they just chose the country's where they sold the most units in the past.
On top of that, they probably also do not have enough Cloud servers set up yet in Africa and Asia to warrant good service in those area's.
Nothing wrong with that, Mario Kart 8 looks as next gen as general XB1 and Ps4 games look.
No, i am getting a WiiU early next year for MarioKart8.
On top of that, i do not expect that this is the last console generation.
Cloud might be mature enough by the time next gen is over, but global internet connections wont be ready yet to go full cloud services.
What we see next gen, is consoles + additional cloud features, the gen after that will most likely be hybrid cloud, aka cloud will decide your game experience, but it wont be required to game.
The XB1 delivers the games i want, That was the thing i was looking forward to, before E3.
Forza looks incredible, and it always played that way, and Dead Rising was my favorite early title of last gen, and i like the new direction.
On top of that i get to try Killer Instinct for free.
I am gladly willing to pay a 100 more for a console that delivers the games.
It doesnt really matter if they are virtual, as long as the underlying hardware is in good shape.
WHen it comes to cloud tech, yes its old, but a lot of tech's have been around for many years before they finally became feasible.
And its not even perfect yet, but its a good time to start now, to build on cloud computing.
Yes, and software needs to be developed, just like hardware.
Complex software doesnt magically pop into existence, it takes many years to develop.
That sux, but netcode generates a lot less data then a videostream.
For this game i am upgrading to a 770 GTX!
I Am an cloud administrator actually, and i know that what MS claims is perfectly possible.
Its no more difficult then steaming video, in a cloud you are always dynamically linked to the nearest resource of cloud servers.
You can do a lot of AI stuff in the cloud without too much problems.
If you can stream video, you can easily stream netcode for more advanced ai processing.
And who in the western world cant stream video these days?
No, i dont expect that, MS opened a whole lot of first party studios, they can pump out 3 times as much games as on the 360.
Overloading clouds or attacking them is something that is almost as difficult as attacking the whole internet.
Due to clouds being decentralized, nice try, but no.
And if my inet goes down, which rarely happens, i can login with my phone.
They have a point tho, why would they advertise products from the competition?
past 5 years, 10 minutes max.
Not enough to stop me from playing.
And i still own my games as much as i do with current gen.
Theres nothing i cant do with them i could before, only now i have to sell em on live, big deal.
Yup, and my kind of future it is.
Loads of awesome games.
This article makes it seem like that if you have live, you also MUST have a subscription on every other service there is.
Newsflash, if you want to do multiplayer on Psn, and also netflix on psn, you need to pay the same.
The only situation where you dont have to, would be if you dont play online and only want netflix on your ps4.
And i am not getting netflix, i dont wear a purity ring.
