MS has to do better than this if they ...
I feel the same way. The art style is interesting, the colors are bright, and the explosions are huge...but it looks like you would get bored with this game after 30 minutes. I expect that it will sell a lot to owners of the Xbox One...but then end up in a bargain bin within 6 months. I expect very mediocre reviews when this comes out...based on what I am seeing.
Article is a complete waste of time and bandwidth...I didn't get even a small chuckle out of a single one of the fifty they posted.
1. Sony was more helpful in getting the game published than Microsoft
2. Microsoft's "parity clause"
3. Sony has double the market share
If it was YOUR money and YOUR business, who would you go with?
Like it's often said...you are entitled to your own OPINION, not your own FACTS! Pachter is a shill, paid and owned by Microsoft. He is more often wrong than right, and this article is no different. He is going to be embarrassed by the official NPD numbers, when they come out.
tl;dr version: BULLSHIT!
Mark your calendars, XB1 fans! This is the ONLY time you will have more exclusive games for your platform (nevermind the QUALITY of some of those games...that's a whole different issue)!
The Xbox is going to be BURIED by the number of exclusives coming for the PS4. Already we have see MANY MANY more exclusive (how ever you want to count them) announced over the past few months...and it's only going to get worse (or better, depending on how you look at it!) from here...
Here's the deal...if it's "identical" on both platforms, there is something wrong. You don't get identical performance from a platform that is SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful...unless you gimp the game "to avoid arguments". (read "to please your overlords at Microsoft")
I smell parity! Between this and the comment that the game looks "identical" on the Xbone and PS4, I am guessing that we have yet another gimped Ubisoft game on our hands! Oh well, looks like another game I will rent instead of buy!
Yup. I bet they will sell an additional 800 or so per week now! :)
Wow, Xbox defenders are losing it! "What happens when the Xbox does 1080p?" "SDKs are improving" and on and on. GET A CLUE! NO SDK secret sauce is going to give the Xbox One the ability to compete with the PS4 in raw horsepower! You can't make up for the lack of hardware with software! Its a FACT that the Xbox One is less powerful than the PS4...#DEALWITHIT!
Considering that I am still playing this game on a daily basis a month after release...I would say it's a solid game! Not the 2nd coming like some were expecting, but still solid and most importantly, FUN TO PLAY!
I haven't had too many issues with PSN, except for a couple occasions where idiots with DDoS tools have intentionally tried to cripple the system...and even that was brief. 99% of the time, it works just fine for me.
All I see here are a bunch of Xbox fans deriding Sony's service, which, by the way, has improved in leaps and bounds in the past few years and is STILL improving.
I know you guys love bashing Sony...but give it a rest. PSN is fine.
Maybe because in the RARE cases that happens, it usually is because the Xbox is running at a lower frame rate, or "cheating" on the resolution (Wolfenstein, I am looking at you).
Favorite Venture Bros. Quote: "Be not too hasty to enter this room, for I had TACO BELL for lunch!"
Well, that depends on how you define a "generation". I see Sony sticking it out with the PS4 for the full cycle...but I can also see MS throwing in the towel COMPLETELY with the XB1 if sales stink this holiday...they MIGHT keep it alive through next year, but if it doesn't start making money FAST, the shareholders and the board are very likely to kill off the hardware and just keep the Xbox brand (such as it is) for other things.
Reasons? Like having to replace my 360 TWICE because my red ring didn't have enough lights in it? Or because MS is BUYING timed exclusivity on titles that have traditionally been on Playstation? Or maybe because of their "vision" of how games should be sold? (loaded with DRM and restricted to "authorized" resellers) Maybe it's the UI? (I loathe "Metro"!) Maybe it's the fact that the XB1 has HALF the games available, and the ones they DO have th...
Wow, imagine that. The console with superior hardware and a larger amount of games (almost double!) is outselling the underpowered, under supported console with the worst PR department in the history of gaming! Surprise, surprise, surprise!
There is not ONE game that makes me say "gee, I wish I had an Xbox!". This list is GARBAGE. Most of the games listed are either on PC anyway or are just TIMED exclusives.
Can you smell the desperation yet? They aren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts here...they are doing this to try and stop the bleeding!
