It didn't take an entire year to get the extra content though, 1-3 months maximum.
This is like the old make the UK wait an entire year for a film to come out which has already been shown in the states.
Development studios are controlled by their publisher, no mater what money is more important.
Sony, MS and Nintendo know that a bad game can cause bad press, so they try their hardest to make the game as good, however it's money that's important to them.
I don't mind exclusives on a particular console, however I dislike multi-platform games which have exclusive content for one platform and not another.
Plants VS Zombies timed Xbox exclusive, BioShock, Destiny exclusive PS DLC, things like that greatly annoy me.
If a developer makes an exclusive then fair enough, but don't make a mutli-platform game and have content just for one console.
Knowing Activision, they have something in the works, no company protects their IP unless they have something they are working on.
@Vurczi
Bungie/Activision set the price, Bungie has sway of the price since they are the IP holders, and Activision can sell the game at a lower price.
However they usually want high profits so they sell the game at a higher price than usual. It's why Activision games are often £45+ even online.
Fuck that's huge!!
Because they listened to the consumers, and made the necessary changes to their PlayStation, unlike what they did with the PS3, Walkman etc. If Sony continue to make the changes, they will become a major player in the electronics market like they once where.
MS restructured their entire business, so their Windows Phone, Media (Xbox), and television are all in one group, it's basically a huge tax evasion group.
It's the prime reason they don't care about losing billions from that division.
It's amusing to compare two games that very few on N4G have actually played, and even then it's more about gameplay.
Edit, I do think DC looks better than FH2, but seeing games in motion makes a massive difference, than watching a video.
MS make development tools, that PlayStation/PC/Xbox and Wii developers use, they have the biggest share of the operating system market.
Not sure why you are saying MS/Sony etc are becoming irrelevant, and by they way I have heard that for years, and yet MS and Sony are still here...
Companies do anything to earn your money, the games industry like any other entertainment platform is all about MONEY.
This notion that games developers/publishers, console manufactures care about the end user is a fallacy, they make games/consoles to make money nothing more nothing less.
Biggest problem with the Vita is the same problem Sony had with the PSP, they tended to make console games on a hand held, rather than making games specifically for the PSVita.
I would like to get a Vita, but simply cannot justify the price.
@OpenGL
They use a customized OpenGL API, it's just very a cut down version.
I think people fail to comprehend one simple thing, and that is the API (DX12) will help with optimization with code, and will utilize the multi-core CPU's rather than utilize just the sole CPU that it currently does.
I wouldn't say it will make huge improvements per-say, it depends on the developers etc, basically what it will do is give better performance, and the same goes for PC as well.
So MS should've created an API just the Xbox, which no developer would have no idea how it works?
Using a standard API makes it easier to developers, MS and Sony use standard API's for that sole reason.
Oh and technically speaking DX11, isn't the same API that is used for the Xbox One it's a subset variant and it's heavily customized for the X1.
I bet it takes a long time though, I d/l'ed the Wolfenstein patch and it took AGESSSSSSSSSS.
Never use steam, everytime I log in it's always updating.
PGR isn't, it's basically Forza Horizon.
Yager, PGR, kung Fu Choas, Conker?
I think he was referring to how much you can pick up a copy.
During the SNES, PS era games are and still quite expensive, however the fact there are millions of games selling you pick up 10+year old games for very little, even brand new copies.
