Their Vaios (which they've just sold) offered nothing over the competition but a higher price. Their Walkmen never caught up to iPod standard.
Their phones and tablets, for the longest time, were just junk. Take a look at the dual screen Android tablet, or the magazine like Android tablet. Complete trash. Their new line of Xperias are quite good, but that has only been this year.
The problem with Sony, is that everything Samsung has attempted, they&#...
I'm fine with another Mass Effect. They created a rich and deep lore from the ground up. It's a universe in which many stories can take place, like The Elder Scrolls universe, and a lot like Star Wars.
There are clearly game universes which didn't do this. And instead made stuff up as they went along. Which has lead to them being convoluted bloated overwritten messes.
Which ones am I talking about?
Why go free to play, when you can be pay-to-play and pay-to-win?
Activision have got the best of both worlds.
Not at all.
Levine said he wanted to shut down and start a new indie company. But Take Two persuaded him to stay.
Can't wait to see what his new smaller team does next. No more boxed games from Levine, another nail in the coffin for retail.
Best of luck to the rest of them, you've had a fantastic run, and I'm sure your talents will be snapped up quickly.
Phil Harrison is doing damage control again.
And I honestly liked the weird commercials too.
The Cloud isn't exclusive to Xbox One. That's the antithesis of what cloud computing is.
That doesn't mean it isn't PR.
Please don't try to spin mandatory into something good. Yes, I think the games you get are good value, but you don't have a choice, you have to subscribe forever.
Steam sales events might only happen several times a year, but you're not limited to that and you're not obligated to pay. You've got humble bundle, mods and a significantly larger free to play library.
Unreal Engine 4 will be successful, but not as successful as Unreal Engine 3.
There's just more competition, and better competition. Unity and CryEngine are viable alternatives now. EA's finally got their Frostbite tech throughout their company, so this generation, they won't have to license like they did previously. (EA had Renderware during the PS2 era, but they messed up the transition to last-gen, so in-house tech is not new to them)
This used to be the case, particularly UE1 and UE2. But lighting has gotten a lot better, and you can get third party lighting solutions too.
Take a look at Mirror's Edge, they went for a third party lighting engine on top of the base Unreal Engine, and it looks fantastic, and not smeared in grease.
I've sunken over 100 hours into Skyrim, the world is big and beautiful. I've yet to touch the DLC, but will probably do so when I have the time.
I invested a similar amount of hours into Oblivion and Morrowind.
What I'm saying, is I really treasure the world of the Elder Scrolls. The lore, the locations, the details. I should be eagerly waiting in anticipation for TES Online.
But I'm not. While I would gladly pay to explor...
It's not just "this gen", it was last gen as well.
Only Playstation was free last gen.
Amateur youtube dickheads do not qualify as "journalism".
Did the same thing as you last gen. Built a PC with a Geforce 8800GT to beat last gen consoles.
Will do the same this gen. I'll spend a similar price as a console in about a year's time, and it should beat the X1 and PS4 too.
I'm not buying now, because I'm waiting to see if Mantle makes any impact, and to see what Nvidia have up their sleeve. The Broadwell chips coming out later this year will be interesting too.
What do you use your $2000 PC for? Aside from inane N4G comments?
Oculus has the engineers. And they're collaborating with Valve too.
Oculus raised a further $75M in December - http://www.wired.co.uk/news... Then can afford to hire all the engineering talent they want.
You can install Windows on the Steam box if you want, and then just use the Big Picture interface.
You'll certainly have more games on Steam than with any next-gen console.
Ellen Page and Willem Defoe probably helped it beat Heavy Rain.
OnLive have been doing it for quite a while now. But I guess it takes Sony doing it for anyone to actually believe it.
According to Eurogamer, the PC version is unaffected.
