Oh come on!
I fathom a more perfect storm for Ninny if I tried!
If they decide to drop the price huge and treat the WiiU as the go to kids machine (which is their general motto anyways), they'll eek out a niche.
Make no mistake - WiiU is not Wii. It will never garner that level of sales. With the other 2 consoles around the near corner ....Nintendo is in their worst nightmare.
I'm no hater. I'm wishing them no ill. I&#...
Sometimes a game just clicks with you. Might be the art direction, gameplay or the promise of a great story.
Don't know exactly why...but this game has me really interested.
If I recall correctly... Wasn't RAGE made on newest Quake engine? I think they renamed it..but its quake. Now, if you optimize that engine to eliminate the screen tearing....it looks better than many fps of recent memory. Yes, better looking than bf3, on consoles at least.
Next gen should play newest quake (rage 2) no problem.
So I gotta ask....is Activision so greedy too not spend resources on a new engine? Yes! But not even willing to licence latest qua...
Kinect "I see you are trying to play a retail game"
You "yes I am....but it says I have to pay $60....I already payed $45!"
Kinect "please understand. You are playing a second-hand game. Please pay full price and I'll happily unlock the game for you."
You "&@&@@@"
Kinect "please understand, if you try and disconnect your online connectivity you will still need to connect online at least once a day." ...
Invasion of privacy
Hackers wet dream (the dirty work is already fully integrated)
MS will be selling info from kinect...though it'll be anon.
Xbox DONE
Phil Harrison stated it in an interview yesterday with kotaku I believe. It is confirmed. Full retail price for used license. And keep in mind that the console must connect once every 24hrs to play these games. DRM garbage.
I really hope logic wins - but, wait until e3. Pricing could win over all the hate.
TV box that plays games for $99 + $15 a month for 3yrs.
That would change things.
But not for the hardcore. It takes a special type of handicap back of the bus to buy into any of this Xbox one crap
Sudden that Ouya don't look so bad now does it! Lol
Yeah...I told a friend today that MS actually made WiiU look like a good choice! (If one wasn't getting a PS4...which at this point should be a no brainer getting one!)
MS could nail down every great third party to be exclusive.....and they'd still not get my money.
This anti-consumer bs is the last straw for many.
"It sits on your harddrive and you have permission to play that game as long as you’d like" - Phil Harrison
Well to be fair MS has always been a fake gaming company too.
Funny....my wallet won't work with Xbox One either.
I never dreamt in a million years that the WiiU could look more desirable than a Xbox One.
But here we are!
(Ps4 here I come)!
Agree except 95% of games I wanna play are PS exclusives and I don't think PC can do insta-play from freeze state....unless you leave the game on which is taking up RAM.
PS4 is my speed.
But, Xbox One amuses me more than WiiU for pure suckage.
I want Power Girl.....yeah, I just wanna see that outfit in motion. Lol
Games sure....but what about a robust online and third party support. And it needs to be on par with the other big players. And it's so very not.
So yeah. Doom.
Will it bankrupt Ninny? Hell no.
But ninny will need to accept that they are not the console maker for mature gamers. (Yes mature gamers will enjoy it....some will.)
From a business view.....it's currently an utter disaster. And if I was a shareholder I'd be loo...
If its lame Mclaren exclusive content or license then I'm already bored.
If Ninny don't outsell Sony & MS they will look even worst.
Its a cumulated effect.
-pay to play online
-spyware (oh...if you buy x1 your agreeing to it so I guess not)
-1 connection every 24hrs to confirm your useage?
DRM control.
-proprietary HDD that cannot be swapped out.
-kinect 2.0 everything (some of us older gamers just ain't interested....but we're also the ones with most coin to burn)
-Internet required ....big issue! Their are tons of sales that just won't happen now. Fo...
