I'd like to pick up an Xbox One for Forza 5 and TitanFall but I have very little faith in the performance of multiplatform games on the system after the abundance of developers stating that PS4 is both more powerful and much easier to develop for.
I'm going to wait until both consoles are out and websites such as Digital Foundry have conducted in-depth tests on the performance of games on both consoles before taking the plunge on the Xbox One, because right now it'...
Yeah, it's tagged Xbox One but not PS4? Seems kinda weird. Then again we know Microsoft likes to pretend Killzone is an Xbox One game so... :D
Forza 5 requires a day 1 patch also. Turn 10 admitted that without it, you can't even complete the singleplayer career mode because the game that's being shipped is so incomplete and missing content.
Comparatively, PD "think" that they will release a day 1 patch to update the multiplayer portion of the game.
So how do they stack up? Without the day 1 patch Forza 5 is a genuinely unfinished product that you will be unable to complete. Compara...
If you look on NeoGAF, you'd see people are tearing Penello apart for trying to straight-up lie and deceive people, because the numbers and figures he's been quoting do not add up at all, and anybody with even the most simple and basic understanding of hardware knows that he's on a campaign of deceit.
Really, the guy is trying to spread as much misinformation about the Xbox One as possible to make it look good, and more and more people are calling him out on his n...
Microsoft has a history of attempting to rig online polls, along with bribery, paid forum shills etc. and all other manner of underhanded tactics to bully their way to success.
I find it alarming that people are shocked by the company utilizing bots to attempt to rig another online poll, since you have to be incredibly naive to the way that the company operates to be ignorant of this side of their business.
Of course they'll say that, they always do. Then the game is released and people realize they were lied to, but it's too late because they've already spent their money.
Microsoft was only sorry once they saw how abysmal preorders for the Xbox One were.
Up until then, they told their precious fans to just "deal with it".
Real classy company. If you forgive them for that and honestly think the changes that they're making are because they care about their fans, then you're a complete idiot. They only care about the money in your wallet, and they don't change their policies until they realize that they migh...
The silly thing is that Microsoft execs are the ones making the biggest deal out of the superior hardware in the PS4.
Everything I've heard about the power advantage the PS4 has over the Xbox One recently has been insecure whining from Microsoft executives. Maybe if they stopped bringing the subject up so much, it might be less of a big deal? All they're doing right now is advertising for Sony, they'd be wise to just stop talking about the subject.
I wouldn't call Halo's design unique to be honest. For example, see the well documented copying of designs from the movie Aliens.
I was surprised to see Killzone Shadow Fall outselling the Xbox One version of COD Ghosts every time I look on the Amazon bestsellers chart. It's something that I never thought I'd see happening, but it will be nice to see IPs such as Killzone/Battlefield/TitanFall /Destiny knock COD off the top spot and introduce some variety and diversity to the online FPS genre.
My only current concern is that EA runs the Battlefield franchise into the ground like Activision have w...
I can't think of any other racing games that have tracks and environments that look anywhere near as impressive as what DriveClub has shown, particularly on a technical level.
Well at the end of the day it's just a video game, there are many things in life that are far more important and placing priority on video games isn't the best idea!
Besides, it's not like you really lose anything by not having a console or game on day one, is it? You can still buy a PS4 and the game eventually, just get the important stuff out of the way first :)
I just find it really bizarre that they state the promotion is "while stocks last" when it's a digital download. That combined with the clarification that not everybody is getting the game anyway just comes across as very slimy and deceptive, especially when their big announcement painted a very different picture.
Hahaha. So because I would like to be able to play Nintendo games without having to own a Nintendo console, find Forza 5's lack of new features disappointing, thought SOCOM 4 was a fun game and am also pleased that people are voting against Microsoft's anti-consumer policies with their wallets, that somehow makes my pointing out of your logical inconsistencies irrelevant?
Oh dear! Pretty funny that you had to hide your inability to refute anything I said behind whiny ...
How is the guy an idiot for giving up on the franchise after witnessing a continual decline in the quality of releases? I'd argue that the more foolish choice would be to mindlessly buy the next game expecting things to suddenly change for the better.
He's doing the smart, reasonable thing here. He thinks the Halo series is getting worse and worse, so he's not wasting any more money on it.
I also think it's foolish to insist that because he do...
Insecure fanboys are, unsurprisingly, very insecure :)
Says PS4 exclusives are bad, then goes on to talk about Ryse.
Oh dear.
I agree with zod18, the price point would be fine if it was justified, but right now Microsoft expects people to pay $100 extra for inferior hardware, which is absurd.
If I pay more, I expect the product to be better than the competition, not worse. Even if the Xbox One was the same price as the PS4 it would feel like a ripoff. It should be $50-$75 cheaper.
Yeah, Phil Spencer is really unlikeable. Now they've ditched Don, they need to get rid of him and Major Nelson as well.
I remember back when the Xbox 360 launched and reached the peak of its popularity, Microsoft had guys like J Allard and Peter Moore who were much more likable (especially Moore with his funny tattoos for announcements).
Matrick, Spencer and Hryb need to go. So does that Aaron Greenberg clown, too. All those smug idiots are the reason tha...
I'm the opposite, I use an iMac but run Windows 7.
I stick to Windows because it's what I know and it's easy to setup dual operating systems via bootcamp, but the iMac is hands-down the most reliable computer I have ever owned in my life. Sure their systems are expensive but damn, those guys know how to build good, stable and reliable hardware.
It's the same reason I use the iPhone too. After having so many crappy phones for so long, I took th...
