Honestly. the article isn't bad. The slides are cohesive, and while some of them are basic they offer solid info for those new to the game.
I wonder, does the "Dpad up" marking show up for team members? I'll have to check that out tonight.
I wonder if we're still going to see the companion app coming out...
Dammit! Now I need to buy yet another plastic instrument.
I think the swing of gaming has moved to look to indie gaming as having some real worth.
I tend to look at the good/bad rather than the score to see what I'd be getting myself into - mind you, I'm much more about story than deathmatch, so YMMV (not being popular kills an MP-only game faster than the Minions killed Dracula)
I agree with "There is difference on paper and in practice."
Substantial begs the question - and just because in practice you can find examples that may, to you, seem substantial, there are examples that show this is not the case.
The comparison of development side-by-side isn't as clear as you make it out to be, and when you play a game on the PS4 vs the Xbox One, you're still playing (pretty much) the same game.
Unless b...
To the author of this opinion, I think perhaps Chicken Little should probably look up first. How is this any different than Sony making money off BluRay being in the Xbox One?
This opinion piece really doesn't consider the billions of dollars that these companies pay each other each year for patent agreements, infringements etc...
The comparison of a basketball player suggests that MS, AMD, Sony, Nintendo, NVIDIA etc. all have a single entity asset, whe...
"I am glad that Microsoft is offering players the chance to play their older games, but Sony did this already with Playstation Now."
Uh, yeah. And you buy them. This BC? This is free for games you already own. At this time there are 24 games available, today, which you can play (including cloud stored save games working, and everything out of the box).
By the time this service launches outside preview, it will 100+ games. Sorry, but I still have my ...
They need to simply pack in (or bring down in price) the stereo adapter (sans headphones). Make more of them, cut down the packaging and get volume discount on production (see what I did there?) ;) It's half the price of a controller. Nonono. This should be cheap.
As to controller updates, this is a good thing. It's nice to know that your controllers can be tuned if they find problems where the firmware can be flashed.
I like the wireless aspect, and ...
Meh.
They should just build a MechAssault game and be done with it. Titanfell, and while the game premise and combat engagement was great, it's magic would have been in a cooperative storyline that was more than just radio chatter.
Hell, something like the original Syndicate (1990's TYVM) would have been cool. Weapon /armor R&D, scenario-based combat and multiple ways to accomplish objectives.
Instead, they spend their time perfe...
To dismiss this editorial as clickbait is wrong - but there is certainly cause to call the author out for being a fanboy. The numbers used are based on volume of games and quality as Sony's "winning" the console war.
Statistically, the Xbox One has made huge gains with the dropping of Kinect requirement and also dropping the price of the console - in fact, that they were even able to climb up into first position during the holiday season (North American market)...
There is a segmented market region which does not behave in line with the rest of the world. Not only are the game tastes entirely different (and often those games are not available outside their own region, but often are not translated outside their region), there is a xenophobia that is undeniable.
If one were to exclude that market, Sony's PS3 sales are not anywhere near on par with the 360s'. That's where analysis and critical thinking come into play. That ma...
There's a lot of "it's already got it" comments - examples such as being able to switch and share, or bounce over to Netflix and back.
That is not suspend/resume. That is not turning your console off (at any given time) and being able to turn it on and hop back in.
The XB1 (likely) takes advantage of existing Windows infrastructure, including the use of hiberfil.sys which allows it a quick startup (when not in a fully powered off state). Th...
Discs? What are discs? ;)
Loved the review!
"Plus, my EA Access subscription isn’t doing my hard drive any favors. Free copies of Need for Speed Rivals, FIFA, and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare? Yes please!"
Free? Dude...
For those who haven't played any of the Halo games, this is 100+ hours of single player goodness, with all the pitfalls of Halo 2's anticlimatic ending gone (as you hop into Halo 3 right away).
If you've played these games before, they're spread over a decade - how many times do we play the same Link / SMB games over and over?
Simply put, this article is simply whining about a complete package being too much - it's a weak premise and, havi...
It's about time we got a new IP.
I'd love a Blackstone game too.
I just downloaded the demo - having read the review I think I'm going to pick it up.
I got in right at the end of day 3 - too busy at Ubi's booth (loved RS:S btw)
Learning curve simply didn't lend itself to be tossed in head-first on the ledge/grinding while shooting.
Thank goodness they don't have a "grinding" balance like Tony Hawk though - would have been a control nightmare. :D
You just know that this nutjob is going to become a gaming household name.
Article title suggests the end of the XBOX brand. Yeah, not going to happen. I suspect we'll see a shift where consoles are terminals that aren't constrained by their own processing power - perhaps streaming from a local PC as an option (where Win10 runs a dedicated locked resource while the XB2 (terminal) is "on".
I just don't think this is going to be done anytime soon.
