VGChartz was bullshit before, and it's bullshit now.
Not concerned at all about Xbox One's (or possibly PS4's) used game limitations.
So the platform holder and publishers take a percentage cut. Gamestop will eat some of that in their margins, and pass on some of that to consumers - I don't think it'll cripple the second hand market.
But weirdly, they love Baseball.
The controller is pretty much the only thing the reveal did right. Better Dpad, finally. Fine tuned rumble triggers, sounds cool.
@cyguration - there's actually very few.
When anyone mentions homebrew though, you get an enormous throng decrying how you shouldn't even be allowed to breath on your hardware unless the platform holder agrees.
When IGN gives you less than 8.0/10, you know you've failed.
GTX Titan - 7 billion transistors.
Mentioning transistor counts is fairly meaningless, but given that Microsoft thought it relevant, here's the riposte.
He's right. The PS4 and X1 are based on next-generation mid range PC technology!
I think it was a bad move saving everything to try and "win" E3. It'll just get lost in the noise.
For the reveal, they've got the press all to themselves, and they chose to ignore their core audience. You need to energise the gamers first, they're going to be the ones evangelising your system, they're the early adopters.
Yeah, it wins the launch wars if you're completely disinterested in games.
From the article, "I’m not a hardcore gamer", no shit.
@Aery
What?! You don't buy a system because of "ratio". And the numbers you post show there are more good games on the 3DS.
Aery's right. I've not seen Into Darkness yet, but Abrams clearly isn't a Star Trek fan. Hence his movies are all space lasers, pew pew, and not space diplomacy.
I'm not a Trekkie, so I prefer this direction, but can understand why fans of the show don't like it.
I guess it's better than Blizzard games, where the economy crashes after launch.
The Origin rumour is the invention of internet imbeciles.
Grinding for XI years. It's great if you like watching numbers go up.
Hi Feds, next time, start off with the fucking warrant if you want a conviction.
Congratulations for supporting the retailers, and not the developers by buying used.
Sure, it was the retailers who mandated the inclusion of pre-order bonus DLC. But let's give them all our money anyway.
The sooner the retailers die, the better.
Valve is actively looking into VR, since before the Oculus Rift. Check out Mike Abrash's blog for more detail - http://blogs.valvesoftware....
But I do empathise with the author, just release Half-Life 3 already.
I don't think Steam were the ones mandating pre-order incentives, or you'd see Steam-exclusive DLCs like Gamestop-exclusive DLCs.
Of all the universes I'd like a long form TV show to explore, Halo (and every other shooter universe outside of Half-Life) is pretty much bottom of the list.
The Halo universe is what happens when you force a lot of money into a franchise in the hope of turning kitsch into high art.
