I am at the Build conference.
All of the Windows phone announcements are coming by/through summer. That means Cortana which they are dubbing a digital assistant, 3 columns of tiles, improvements in enterprise features, and support for cross store (Windows/Windows Phone not Xbox One [yet]) purchases.
Also, the Nokia 630/635/930 phones will ship in June... VERY COOL! Surround sound capture even!
Also, the development features to share code be...
I like the MGS franchise...
But, I think Kojima gets far too much press attention.
Every little decision seems to make it to the news on MGS.
Did this person even play the game, or did they just read a few internet articles / forum posts and summarize it for a rating?
I agree that having a lot of devts on board with your product is a good thing.
But, now it appears that consoles don't have the quality control that they used to have to limit the amount of shovelware that enters the industry.
That really concerns me as a consumer that buys a lot of games. Things like forcing these games to go through a publisher so that the publisher's name and reputation are attached to it are gone now.
Instead, ...
Someone goes around gaming sites saying they are an insider and making up stories that negatively affects a person's reputation in his career and you say a lifetime ban is ridiculous.
Tell that to this Sony guy if who has probably had to put up with friends and business acquaintances asking him if this was true the past few days. Or the gaming industry people that may have read that info and now won't ever look at hiring him. Its not like you can just walk over to t...
Minecraft Style! Sexy Piggy!
There is nothing wrong with having yearly franchises if the fan base is there.
AC has shown that the fan base is there.
People get too caught up in requiring new IPs. Ubisoft is also doing Watch Dogs and The Division. Both new IPs. Nothing wrong with mixing new and old...
So what gameplay improvements have we seen in the PS4 games to date that have not been implemented in other games recently?
OK. I'll stretch and give you the KZ Drone... We haven't seen that type of drone in another game.
But, look at X1... Drivatars in Forza are very cool and to my knowledge no other game has attempted to take people's gameplay, analyze it, and then put it other gamer's game worlds as AI. Also, name one zombie game that ha...
I agree that there are constant changes and adjustments at studios.
To me, the most concerning was Amy H. at ND. But, change happens eventually.
What concerns me more is Sony's lies on DriveClub. They continued to market it full tilt until the end of October. Only a few weeks before PS4 launch. No one can tell me they didn't know the game was in trouble. A major launch title that went to the brink and is now delayed indefinitely... That is BS. ...
Really, these two consoles are "tuned" to be strong in different ways...
PS4 is tuned for graphical improvements.
X1 is tuned for gameplay improvements.
You can see this from the launch lineup. Sony was touting 1080p / 60 fps in much the same gameplay we have seen since last generation. Microsoft was talking about DR3 zombie numbers/uniqueness onscreen, Forza Drivatars, etc.
Keep doing what they are doing...
1) Keep listening to the community and make dashboard updates people are asking for like they have done in February, March, and are headed for in April.
2) Keep making sure X1 gets content that is new IPs and new iterations of existing IPs. Ryse, Deadrising 3, Forza 5, Titanfall, Powerstar Golf, Lococycle, Killer Instinct, Crimson Dragon, Halo Spatan Assault, Max The Curse of Brotherhood, etc.
3) Make Kinect...
I will buy this and I will enjoy my second play through of Last of Us... In my opinion this is one of the best games ever made...
But, Sony has to step up new and original game content for PS4... Knack wasn't exactly AAA, Killzone was OK but not great (Online solid though), and Resogun is the only game that I can say is really a must have on PS4 as original and new content. My opinion may change after I play some infamous... But, so far $400 is too much for what I have...
If you think it is bad on XBL... Maybe you should be subjected to a few months of PSN...
I play both and XBL is way better than PSN at weeding out idiots.
Wow...
1) When RRoD broke, MS also announced a longer warranty for users. This severely limited the number of sales they may have been gained from RRoD.
2) One Game? I Assume you mean Halo... But Gears of War, Kinect Sports, Fable, Dance Central, Alan Wake, and many other Microsoft exclusive games sold very well comparatively to Sony exclusives.
3) X1 will clear 25 million easy lifetime. And there is nothing wrong with them being strong in the Americas and...
Have you even played the game? I've been on it since launch weekend with no issues at all.
I no longer care about articles that have "downgrade", "resolution", or "framerate" in their titles.
I buy games because they are good. Whether it Minecraft, KZ Shadowfall, or Forza 5... If the game is good I play it, if it sux then I don't.
I started gaming in '76.
Although I agree that graphics advancement is important, I value gameplay and engaging story over them.
Also, I think graphics is starting to see the laws of diminishing returns. Meaning, graphical advances today, are not as dramatic to the average gamer as they were in the 90's and early 2000's.
The classic example is Minecraft... 10's of millions of gamers... Graphics make some 8-bit games look ama...
Underwhelming as a PS3 and PS4 owner.
Nice to see Monster Hunter for PS Vita though.
Guess saying the truth hurts...
Unless of course you care about Morpheus and PS Now.
IGN is to Sony what dualshockers is to Microsoft...
Both media companies drudge up as much dirt as they can about their chosen nemesis console vendors.
