Critically and mechanically? yes. And that is important to the games longevity. Commercially? apparently not. But I would put that down to lack of Pcars or GT being available on PS4. What other half decsent racer can you buy on PS4, right now other than NFS?
If PS4 was my only console, and I had to choose between DC and NFS, I would choose DC, because it looks better. Not like I would have any other option.
@Ka7be
Are you being serious? How many PS fanboys were trashing, insomniac, saying this game "looks boring", and that they have "never truly recovered from making fuse"..comments I clearly remember being spouted by ..yes..PS fanboys. Of course they were salty about this game not coming to PS4. It was obvious.Maybe you should go read a few threads prior to the reviews, to freshen your memory.
"Talk about double standard."
...
Those scores kind of frame this perfectly....
While we can all agree that reviews are opinions...A game that scores well across the board is obviously a good game. If 10 people play a game and all 10 like it...its safe to say its a good game.
Well done insomniac. Kudos to MS for taking the risk and supporting the dev. This is EXACTLY what xbox should be doing. I remember Ted, saying the connection between them and MS was strong from the first day. That he just knew...
They will be getting mine and 11 other people I knows, money on friday. I do hope the Xbox community recognizes the quality of this game. Its right at home on xbox, thats for sure!
Wow. This game just keeps shutting it down, today! lol
Oct 31st here we come!
LOL@ some of the comments in this thread. Its just like FH2 all over again. Xbox exclusive gets high scores and all these trolls come out with these backhanded comments.It would matter if ya`ll owned or was considering an xbox..but all you are doing is clogging up the thread with your fanboy crap.
See ya'll in two weeks when Halo MCC is released to a sea of 9s and 10s.
"Also I already have 2 of the three current consoles so why not just get all three lol."
Same here. I just need to get the wiiU, now.
@NewMonday
"Will not break 500k day 1 sales, what do you thin?"
Im not sure why that bothers you, or why you feel the need to tell us, that you dont think the game will sell well. You dont even own an xbox.Why not go, comment on games for the system yopu own?Your comments wont stop us from enjoying SSO. Its not our job or yours to worry about how much it sells.
I have it pre-ordered, so Im expecting my copy on friday! cant wait! As an xbox owner, I feel like im being spoiled right now..FH2, earlier this month. SSO on friday. My new COD edition xbox on monday the 3rd..and halo MCC after that.
Now THIS is a surprise! I was expecting it to average 7-8/10s..but its pulling out 9s! I was already certain that I would enjoy this, going by the gameplay vids. But these reviews are ramping up my excitement for the game!
"Also those psfans who were all over the other article badmouthing and downplaying MS are all of a sudden no where to be found here.. Smh. i wonder why?"
You cant hear/see them, because they are busy eating crow.
Been reading through the comments for the last 3 mins. People always spaz out round here when it comes to XB1 exclusives.
"lol hence the salt and conveniently converted PC bullllsh## ....it's to predictable."
And then two threads later the same people are telling PC gamers that there rigs have nothing on TLOU. Funny how people always seem to move the goal posts on N4G. But nothing is more obvious than the envy that Xbox one games seem to genera...
at some point im going to do a Tron theme. clean with glowing circuit lines.
You seem to forget which of the big three has the financial capability to pull that off.
Ill make it easy for you and say its not Sony or nintendo.
@Ciporta1980
Can I quote you on that in a weeks time?
Pre ordered mine from game. gonna be trading in my current x1 for this model. I have a 3tb drive aswell so, I have plenty of storage space :)
In the long term they will see the importance of having numerous AAA in house titles. The investors are probably breathing a sigh of relief at not having to buy timed exclusive for much longer, while their first parties get into the wing of things, and they build new studios. If they spent a few billion in house on just building dev teams could you imagine what they could do?
Good thing I still have my x360. Even though I moved on, the old girl still gets playtime thanks to, Vf2, daytona USA, treasures games(radiant silvergun, ikaruga, etc) ..and now it seems this game too.
LOL, I agree. anytime I turn on my PS4, I am still reminded of the things I take for granted on XBOX, that I dont have on PS4.
Snapping apps is..kinda of what I like.
And so far the games have been awesome. Cant beleive Im going to be playing SSO and halo within a frame of the next two weeks. Im still far from finished with FH2. still so much I have not seen and done in that game. and then these two bad boys ( Halo and SSO) turn up.
Thats my new console on the left! ( the COD bundle).seven more days. Even though I already have an X1, I am excited like I just bought one. Plus , all 33 members of my clan will be on XB1 by Xmas. Thanks for halo and the price drop MS. I was getting worried that I was gonna lose some members of my clan, this gen! But you turned it all around MS! kudos with these bundles.
For anybody in the UK GAME is doing some sick bundles right now. You can get an xb1, with Minecraft, destiny...
