It isnt a sim, its more of an open world arcade racer akin to testdrive. maybe they left out damage to maintain visuals and frame rate. but im sure it will look good when its finished.
loads of racing games wont have physical crash damage, still. and it wont really matter as they are arcade racers. some will have it and it still wont matter as it will only be cosmetic. I think what matters is how the cars handle . Even in an arcade racer. they just have to Feel like cars with...
well....apparently,gribble grunger knows how many units MS and sony are shipping. and he says sony are shipping more. check his post further up.
He must be telling the truth. he sez so...

thats not good enough, son.pick a side. join the fight. N4G wants YOU *pointing at you while wearing a stars and stripes top hat* in the console wars.
Pre order wars: super turbo fanboy edition 5
Edit: I dont know how anybody can dissagree with my little dig at this thread. some people got no sense of humour! lol
mustang is correct. japanese consumers generally have moved to mobile gaming. Another reason why I think MS is wasting time and money trying to penatrate this particular market. The games industry over there has shrunk massively aswell.
and lets not forget those hardore Xbox guys usually come with 100 people in their freind lists..and clans of about 10-30 people, that will not leave Xbox. in the end I dont see many Xbox users jumping ship. Who would leave their freinds behind to go play driveclub with strangers?
This is what why no Xbox-only users will be migrating.
Indeed. I have already pre ordered mine. But for MS own sakes I think they should just bite the bullet and possibly reap the rewards of a rapid uptake in their console. plus they will make it back on XBL and game sales anyways.
This.
people seem to forget that the TV/skype/twitch and the possibility of windows apps could be a big deal for the average consumer. Ms should make a wireless keyboard and mouse to compliment the apps, or allow us to use KB+Ms of our choosing.
The reality is, that $100 difference will only be more attractive for people who want JUST a games console. MS have a device that is a bit more than a games console to be fair. Others will be attracted to the idea of a b...
They should knock $80 off, keep kinect and take the short term hit in profit loss.
I dont think they should back down from bundling kinect though. Now that it comes with every machine devs can really experiment with it. but for the sake of being compeative on a price point, they should lower the RRP before launch.

Oh...Ive tried. I just happen to have played better multiplayer games is all.
seriously..you should try gears of war multiplayer if you like third person multplayer. Its far more tactical and has a more interesting weapon selection. and maps that work better in combat.
and halo is a game that gets better as your skill improves and you face better opponents. big team battle on halo is IMMENSE fun. halo has near perfect weapo...
@Minato-Namikaze
I play all the genres you metioned too (except JRPGs..I honestly cant stand them.
There are plenty of racers, platformers, puzzle and adventure games on xbox, but as it stands people speak with their money. you buy what you want to play. you cant argue with peoples choices just because they buy games YOU dont like.
This article is about the image of Xbox and the genre that it is synonymous with. that does not mean it does not play...
@HardcoreGamer
and your "CAPS LK" key by the looks of things...
you hit two points spot on!
"Microsoft's biggest advantage going forward is the large amount of people who bought and play shooters on the Xbox 360 with their friends and those people's desire to continue playing with their friends"
This affected my desicion to buy multiplatform, multiplayer games on X1, as well as the very descision to pre order my X1. I am in a clan of 33 people, outside of them I have about another 20 core freinds and 8 fami...
And yet we have people jumping in the thread to announce how much they dislike shooters. maybe its the title that has their panties in a twist...fanboys are crazy. They critisize the Xbox for being the "FPS console" than when an article talks about just that they feel the need to tell us they dont like FPS while mentioning KZ and uncharted. a bit hypocritical, to be honest.
leahcim was being sarcastic, by the way. Or just a very poor attempt at humour.
Of course they were around before Xbox, but lets be honest, before halo came along this was a japan dominated industry..and as such the genres they popularized were more popular on console. JRPG, platformers, racing games.
Halo is the blueprint for how to do a console FPS right. Especially the multiplayer. Its still as fun as ever.
looking forward to playing titanfall, halo 5, BF4, destiny etc. on X1. I hope that new black tusk, developed game, impresses at g...
@godmars
Its not like you have to pay for that content. its free. What are you ACTUALLY complaining about?
@stank...explains your name then! I do hope you wipe it down before playing it afterwards. Thats just...stank!
@Bluepowerzz
lulz! If i didnt know better I would say you were taking notes from me! ;). bubbles for the lulz!
Edit: Im waiting for a 3DS guy to turn up so I can flaimebait em a little..
Id be suprised if this hasnt been a rude awakening for them already.
In all honesty somebody should point them to the N4g forums and others like it so they get a very real sense of how difficult they made things for themselves in relation to gamers.
yay,fight!
