Same old Microsoft, they really are one of the most deceptive companies I can think of. They are never straight with the consumer, there is alway a wrinkle with the PR, I dont know how many times they are going to be caught in a lie or halftruth before they stop with the bullshit.
Its stupid because they could just let the console do the talking, it is smaller, it has a built in power brick and in my opinion, it is nicer looking than the original. They need to give that ...
Spot on chief, I bet a good portion of sales will be upgrades from XB1 so market share will be completely unaffected.
Not even close in the UK either I suspect.
That was a good read.
As someone raised on games on Atari 2600 and Spectrum before getting my beloved Commodore 64, I think my personal taste for hard games stems from my childhood. No saves, limited lives and janky controls meant you had to improve or you would get nowhere.
Make sure you do buddy, its a fantastic title. Like the others in the series, it's not that hard if you are patient and have good timing.

This has been discussed time after time, PS3 easily caught 360 last gen. Worldwide it outsold 360 month after month, it took time to catch up because of an 18 month headstart but, even at a higher pricepoint, even with every website slating the PS3, it still caught up and surpassed 360.
None of this was a result of the gamer perceiving it was more powerful, it was brand popularity and eventually, it was the exclusive library that made the PS3 the ...
Microsoft were unchallenged for more than year last gen and the jump in tech led to gamers wanting the new HD console as it was so far ahead of PS2.
This time around you will not see such a huge leap in visual fidelity, that lure of HD v SD wont be there. Also, a huge section of audience have bought Playstation softwareand so are commited to that eco system and this is where thier friends are. Besides this, Sony potentially have more than a year unchallenged with the Neo...
The only place the that difference in the power of the Neo and Scorpio matters is in the mind of the more rabid xbox fan.
The reason PS4 is currently dominating is nothing to do with power advantage, it is everything to do with Playstation's reputation as a Worldwide brand, it is to do with its track record for delivering for gamers and for providing a much larger and more varied library than XBox.
Americans like to buy American goods, that is unders...
Its easy to condemn Nintendo for protecting their intellectual property but people need to realise what a trade mark is, it is a sign that the goods or services have orinated from them. Everytime they allow someone to remake or mod a game the effectiveness of that intellectual property is lessened.
Having said that, I think they can be a bit over the top where things like video streaming on YouTube are concerned..
Excited for Gravity Rush 2, best thing Sony could do for that title was bring it to PS4 in my opinion. Gravity Rush is a really enjoyable platinum trophy, people should jump in now before number 2 comes along.
Really excited for Wild, that games reveal made a great impression on me, the scary snake lady at the end was so cool. Dreams is an intriguing title to me too and I can imagine it being even cooler if it implements PSVR functionality, regardless, I think it looks li...
Hope it gets formally announced soon and gets a release shortly after, I am gagging to pick one up....nothing quite like getting a new toy to play with :)
Hope to see improved performance and graphical flourishes rather than increased resolution personally, not deluded enough to believe that the NEO or Scorpio will be true 4K machines.
People like opinionated dont see it, they believe the lies their ruling classes feed them in the media so they accept the imposition of a police state, they believe that bombing other countries makes them safer at home. They could wipe out hunger and homelessness in the US with what the spend on their military each year but where is the profit in that for the ruling elite?
Just remember that there are many more fantastic people in the US who are compassionate and kind. The...
Stringerbell, you will never get through to someone like Opinionated who views the world through the lense of Fox News. Your country is utterly beautiful and its no suprise it was recently voted one of the best counties to live in. You and your countrymen should feel very proud of your role in helping the people escaping from a warzone.
While the UK and US made pledges to help rescue these unfortunate people they are far behind delivering on their promise. They prefer to...
@ShaunCameron
Sorry buddy, I am British and proud of it and come from a family who have mostly served in the Army. I am not however, blind to the fact than British foreign policy is questionable at best and I am not the only one. There have been calls far and wide for Tony Blaire to be held accountable for his decision to invade Iraq.
The money the US spends on its millitary is eye watering and the idea that you are protecting yourselves by destabilisin...
@opinionated
As brutal and tragic as the terrorist attacks on civilians in western Europe are, I believe we are far more secure than you are in the US.
Ultimately, the political or religeous beliefs of the perpetrators of violent acts are irrelevant, the violence still results in the same thing, tragedy. Far more people die at the hands of brutes and thugs in the US than they do in any European Country you care to name and I would go on to suggest that ...
I think you right wing nutjobs are confusing compassion and consideration with political correctness. Europe views the attrocities in the US with just as much dismay, mass shootings, regular shootings of unarmed civilians by a seemingly untouchable police force but we do not judge you all as mindless or weak willed.
Violence and intolerance will never resolve anything and while tighter security will certainly help, I hope we never see the likes of Trump in power in a Europ...
@AnnoyedGamer
I assume you are American, what if I were to judge you based on your fellow countrymen's behaviour when they carry out mass shootings, or look to restrict freedoms of women, gay people or the scientific community because of their religeous beliefs?
Americans act like arseholes too but you wouldnt want the rest of the world to judge you all because of the actions of the minority.
I grew up and live in a fairly mixed c...
You are not unique in this in any way buddy, we are all consumers and a company can pretty much do what they want and we will still buy their products.
Everyone who says they are done with Konami are kidding themselves. If in 3 years Konami released a new MGS game and it turned out to be incredible, millions of gamers, myself included, would buy it.
You only have to look at how companies like Apple, Google and Amazon can brazenly avoid paying taxes and p...
All America and Britain have spread is death and destruction across the globe in the name of democracy and freedom over the last 60 years. Germany should be proud of their actions and foreign policy which is more than can be said for the US and UK.
I love the AC games but whether I could play them again is doubtful, each is such a huge undertaking (if you have OCD for collecting stuff in games like I do).
I always wished they had revisited Altier's timeline as I find medieval history utterly fascinating.
