That is not a bad thing: not competing on power. They want to carve out their niche and that is fine. You can do a lot with a K2 (yeah probably not Forsa Horizon 3 or Uncharted 4 good but, good enough) My concerns, as I stated previously, is not the worry of being equal to even the Xbox One or PS4O but, how this device works as that portable design and switching back to a console. Battery, construction strength, third party developers sticking around beyond the first year, how worthwhile ...
Your first price you mentioned it being sold without the dock. I know you are just playing a wishing game with these prices. However, do you really think they are going to sell this without the dock? Doesn't that just make it a portable device not a console since it will not connect to the TV. Not much of Switch if it can't switch. From, what I have gathered from other stories, the dock provides an additional 2GB of RAM and the ability scale up the GPU, charge the device, along wi...
How is this huge? You will probably get a couple of different color hats to chose from (instead of white you get popcorn color, or a feather in it, military style cap), maybe gun with a different handle (other than looks, it doesn't do anything different), maybe some of those chapless pants fanboys like to wear :), and a map. All this for on the online portion of the game only and for a limited time. I don't know why anyone would call that huge. I call it quite disappointing. Come ...
Pro and Scorpio may be pushing 4K but, neither company requires those consoles to use their extra power only for 4K (or cross stitched upscaling) as you stated. Both companies have themselves clearly stated so many times (over and over and over) that it is up to the developers where to use that power. They can use it for 4K or beefing up their games in 1080 or perhaps we will see 1400 with both increased fidelity and increased FPS or maybe it will be a selectable menu option where developer...
True, and this looks nice. But, that 3DS 60+ million was a different time. There were not this great barrage of hundreds of millions of phones (1.6+ billion) many that are capable of being a portable gaming device. devices like phones/tablets that work very well for most people. Those are the people this device has to entice to sell 60+million. At least in the West (US and Europe). And those same phones/tablets are only going to get more powerful (even most low end tablets will be more ...
No definitely not. What you are really saying is that Person B had more time to party, get laid and just had a better all around college experience. While Person A was just an uptight twit, in the library studying all the time.
Wrong yourself. Ottoman empire included Greeks, Armenians, Bulgarians, Jews (Millets), etc... Not all brown, middle easterners. True, a good percentage of the Empire were Middle-Eastern but not 100%, not even close. Also, assuming middle-eastern means brown color is insulting in itself. For example Turkey has large makeup of Caucasians thanks to the Hittites who invaded in 1900BC and Greeks who settled around the Aegean coast in the 1400's. Let's not to forget the Ottoman Empir...
Seriously all of todays consumer VR will be outdated and primitive in a couple of years if not sooner. Not that Sony PSVR is a bad VR device. It is good for the price and even more amazing it does this on what most people would consider a relatively weak CPU and GPU compared to other devices. The problem is Sony moves are attached to their console and thus will not be able to move as quickly in releasing the newest iteration of the device. People complain abo...
@Razrye2 No one was forced to get the Kinect. The Xbox One has the Kinect 2. The original Kinect is still considered one the best selling devices. To his point, only time will tell if the PSVR or VR in general will be a long term winner. Early sales of anything really say nothing about long term viability only about the immediate need to have something shiny and new. How long it stays shiny and new is anyone's guess. Will the PSVR, like the Kinect, fade away after the initial excite...
@nix Does you same logic hold for people not buying as much work as well for the PS4? For example, Uncharted 4 sale numbers are 40% lower than they were for either Uncharted 2 or 3.
True Halo is not selling as well from physical stores. It is kind of hard to beat 12+ million disc sales that was Halo 3 on the 360. But, I don't know how you can say anything about FH3 or Gears 4 since there are no numbers on either as of yet. I suspect they will not be as high as FH or ...
@lodossrage Tomb Raider is not a PlayAnywhere game. QB wasn't either (PA didn't exist at the time) but you did get a Windows version if of QB you pre-ordered digitally.
I think there is a big difference in the statement graphics don't matter when it is barely noticeable at all in many games where people argued for or against it. For example, all those stop frame comparisons that have been done comparing PS4, Xbox and PC versions. In most cases it is barely discernable at that level, and even not noticeable at all playing a game a full speed. Compare that to experiencing the original game (like DC) and noticing right away a drop in the graphics fidelity...
But, to your point that is what a review is in the first place. One persons experience. However, if that experience is repeated in multiple reviews we tend to see it as a trend no? This is no different then saying a story is bland or a myriad of other reasons a reviewer did not like a game. It is all subjective. We take that review or reviews and weigh it against our own values and expectations.
@bruce755 Curious, did you try the final version of the game?
There seem to be two main causes for people susceptible to queasiness.
One, there seems to be a group that have a natural built-in-in biological issue that causes this. Like the way a small percentage of the population cant' play first person shooters. My brother is like that, gets disoriented with all first person games (even with the lights off). Whereas, nothing makes me sick to my st...
@travesty "X1S also removed features....Kinect into an Xbox One S"
I can still do it with the free USB cord Microsoft will provide people with a Kinect. In fact, I can use that same USB cord Microsoft will give Xbox One Slim owners and plug that same Xbox One Kinect into my Windows 10 PC as well. Just curious, did Sony provide purchasers a free work around like that for digital out the took away in their Slim model?
I always get annoyed when people just point the fingers and one area and ignore all the other corrupt actions that took place. Wall Street is an easy scape goat and putting them in pen leaves a whole bunch of others that should be there as well. Let's face it the issues that happened over several decades that led to the "Great Recession" was a culmination of greed on every level. In other words, this was not a Bush issue or a Clinton issue but systemic failure at ever level of ...
@Obscure_Observer Pricing seems about right. I do believe Microsoft should also bring out a base version that gets the price down to around $399. That would be a digital only version (no playback drive cuts $50+ out and 1Tb instead of 2TB cuts another $50). That would allow them to sell it below your expected cost. Plus it pushes digital purchases, which both Microsoft and Sony prefer anyways (more money for them).
$399 digital only (no playback drive, 1 TB internal)
...
@TheCommentator Bad analogy. That is on Microsoft providing resources for BC not the actual game makers. It is not like Sony will be paying the developers to do the work or do it themselves. If they did it would be free right? What we are talking here is the actual developers going back and rewriting code and assets to make the game support Pros upscaling tech. Seriously, it is something slightly like a remaster. Devoting a team to do it must have rewards for a company. Companies do rem...
