Until Acti reveal how much they spent on the first title we wouldn't really know because the $500 is for the 10 year contact with bungie which iirc is for 3 games in the franchise.
Lmaoooo.... Watch dogs the PR nightmare.
Oh my how downgraded are the PS3/X360 version going to be? And how does Wii U fare?
Am guessing we will see similar framerate performance to AC4.
Also 1080p patch incoming? Nah actually I doubt it this time but there is a chance ;)
Lmaoooo this game has had such a trainweck journey PR wise. Xbox continues it weird resolution streak. Surprising at PS4 being 900p. I wonder if the framerate situation will be a repeat of AC4.
If it wasn't it would have been done time ago as fans have been calling for the option for a while and you won't have restated multiple times your belief in kinect as an integrated part of the system and that a kinectless option was never going to be an option.
April's NPD should be interesting.
"I'm more tired of those 'news' posts than pretty much anything else. I just want to play great games" - And you still can no one is saying it completely kills the game or anything but like the TR devs said it best higher res, better/more framerate is "gravy". Does things depending on the game can provide a better experience.
"To the naked eye most of the precious frame rate claims and resolution claims can hardly be noticed" - But i...
I think it's investors eyeing the Xbox division was the more deciding factor. But yh the way they have handled XB1 so far points to what you said they don't want big losses. DD non special edition TF bundle instead of the one Respawn got, and all the DD bundles apart from being easier to manufacture and cheaper it also nets them more savings since it's a DD license.
Also not too long ago Phil Spencer was still in
support of it actually it was *LAST MONTH*
“I always want to make sure that we're in tune with what current or potential customers are asking for from us. Right now, dropping Kinect is not the number one request from people. Usually it's, ‘Where are the great games?’ There are a number of games on the ID@Xbox programme that use Kinect, and you'll see more games in the fall.”

Actually they 360 because the initial deal was the first digital version but that was quietly changed as shown by this - http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Yes it's great they fixed it in the end by it shouldn't have been changed in the first place. <...
Some people like to live in the cloud it seems -
Harvey Eagle - "[A Kinect-less Xbox One] is not in our plans at all," he said. "As we've said from the very beginning, we believe Kinect is an absolutely integral part of the Xbox One experience.

It's not a rumor it's stated right below the release. Also it sounds like you can only download within those months and after that you lose complete access to them as in not being able to download them from your download list like with IGC.
Looool well said a bit over the top ;)
Am not surprised I fully expected them to drop it just that the announcement will come E3. Kinect is just something that will never really be beneficial for gaming as a whole it has very limited use cases and does really add that much of a compelling experience if any IMO. It's a media/interface device that's what it's best at as shown by XB1's OS features.
So £350 in the UK?
Wow...... Oh shit.... Damn was expecting this at E3. Why now?
Still this is great and should help boost XB1 sales for MS as quite a few people will jump in now and that lower price helps. Am guessing an update will be coming soon to help make the OS more controller friendly?
The Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360 in June are “Dark Souls,” “Charlie Murder” and a bonus game of “Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.” We’re pleased to bring Games with Gold t...
WTH not even waiting for E3. Damn why would they announce it so soon if true?
Haha this is game is so awesome --> http://i.minus.com/iMVwJdKn...

Wow this is seriously like a next gen dark souls with improved effects and lighting.
Can't wait to see more.
"We are still working on squeezing the juice out of the consoles and Microsoft are supporting us in this respect," Iwinski told me."
"It's more of a PR differentiation," he added, "which is very important for Sony right now - and they are using it, obviously - than something that is really meaningful to gamers.
"We're definitely working to max out each of the platforms in terms of what we can get, because that's ...
It will be interesting to see how those recent offers will help them going forward am guessing we won't start to see the benefits until last quarter this year going toward the next.
He and 39 others --> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/b...
@BX81 and @georgeenoob
You two are all kinds of crazy if you think they are making important business decision like that purely on impulse. You do know MS thought they would target that price as well.
Damn I really wished they changed the X360 model as well but at least the june lineup is pretty good :)
