I wanna be excited for GTA 5.....but it's too close to new consoles! My PS4 and KZ, bf4, asscreed bf are all payed.
2 months to get all I can out of gta 5 I guess.
(Once I go to new consoles I don't look back....time is a commodity and all that jazz)
But then what would Trey brag about in blops 2?
It's the tip of the iceberg? The future?
Hmm....I'd rather just push a button.
This is rather underwhelming. And keep in mind that MS have had Kinect 1 + R&D for Kinect 2.0 for many months.......yet this is best use I've seen yet outside of dance dance revolution. Lol
Here's an idea....you want a unique kinect game that no one else has thought of yet?
Have kinect record you while you sleep....then watch the playb...
Ask yourselves what the price of sacrificing ones privacy is? Consider what's lost before buying an Xbone for the love of Halo?
Yes MS is only complying with NSA. Legally they can't resist.....really? A corporation which has more R&D than likely the US Gov has (unless you are considering borrowed Chinese credit)....can't lobby for following the consitution?!!
Consider that foreign governments don't want their metadata sent to the NSA/CIA/F...
Measuring success solely on money and NA market - that's a fail in my book.
I'm in the NA market, and xbone with spybox sensor can die as far as I'm concerned.
If I was not the US I'd be looking at banning this device and looking at all MS related software as US spyware.
Worlds ripe for a paradigm shift.
Honestly....I was all bummed about PS3 losing BC this gen. But I never play titles twice unless they are awe inspiring.
I can count only a few games I'd want to play on ps4 from ps3 -
Journey
Last of us
Shadow of the colossus (ps3 version is HD. So that's good)
Mirrors edge (remake should cover that)
But much like ps2 to ps3....I'll be way to into ps4 to think about ps3.
With the exception o...
The reason people keep talking about Xbone NSA or Xbone DRM being only on hiatus.....is because casuals need to know! They need to be informed.
You can bet MS Ad campaign will be all roses. And you surely believe consumers should be aware of all the known facts as well as likely future behaviour - behaviour indicated by MS history and current events.
Big difference in getting hacked vs giving up info because a government wishes to step on the civil rights of its populace!
Keep in mind that the US gov lied vehemently every step of the current NSA scandal. This means that fundamentally the US government is not above being corrupt. This just leads me to the next obvious conclusion....if you or yours is in the way of the US gov.....you could easily be "moved". Fabrication manufactured to fit the agenda of big gov, b...
By the time we're looking at a all digital future - I suspect consoles will no longer be needed. They'll be cheap stream boxes with controllers. Everything will be handled servers side - and lag will be dealt with.
Until then...and the world market has universal fiber with cheap possibly standardize pricing....I'll just stick with discs thanks.
I mean who wants to download 20-40gb games 2-3 times a month? Plus media and indie titles....how unlim...
Lol xbots
Keep trying...passion for something is better than nothing.
I'm sorry.....unless Ninny suddenly wakes up and realizes they are in 2013, I don't see a competitive console future.
New ips are great.....but when they going to create and online ecosystem comporable to LIVE or PSN?
Not only is WiiU not in same league.....Iwata said as much when he said "we're not going to compete with Sony or MS concerning online gaming. They have 7yrs of experience." I'm paraphrasing from an interview before WiiU launched.
It really starting to smell of desperation at Ninny HQ these days.
Leaderboards!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O m g !!!!!
I never said Xbone won't do well. I'm just saying MS won't be seeing this gens level of success - and if they manage it, it'll be at massive marketing costs.
They have an uphill battle.
But.....the real question is....are you a fanboy or a gamer? Fanboys blindly defend indefensible buisness decisions concerning their console of worship. Gamers are concerned with their hobby as a whole and want what's best for their gaming as well as thei...
I've mentioned this before -
Early adopters are core. Core are the free promoters of their console of choice. They are motivated to see their console "win".
So it's extremely important to have early momentum with early adopters. Doesn't matter that average consumers don't even know November is coming - because, come time for the sheep to purchase their shepards the early adopters will be in full effect.
So yeah, po...
This is the game I want most.
But I'll suffer through asscreed blackflag, watchdogs, killzone & bf4... Lol
I got this idea - the dlc side story should be about a old old dog who impossibly finds his master ....say with Joel brother or something.
It doesn't need to be another survivor hero dude. That story is already perfect in Joel & Ellie.
I'd like a emotional stealth story where the dog sees the horrors of humanity and the savagery of the infected. It'd be challenging to pull off - but I have faith naught dog can do it.
I find it very sad that the console war and perceived fan loyalty consumes all.
If I tell you your an asshat then I say - "oh, I take that back".......only after all your family and friends gave me crap.....what's that say about me?
Yet xbots just want to ignore that MS wasn't just craping on their fans - they wanted to take down the whole industry with their DRM garbage!
Some of you missed my point - and apparently live in bubbles.
I was referring to the kinect 2.0 as a NSA listening device. And you can't argue it because MS has already admitted they must comply with US law.
But - lets stay on target. A friend of mine says --in the not too distant future...one may come home from long day of hard work. Your home opens its doors to your presence - no need for a key. The lights turn on and music is played....all tailored t...
