Exactly how I feel about timed exclusives, cannot understand how anyone can see them as good for the consumer - have a 'well said' bubble!.
These moves are an act of desperation on MS's part because they have failed to invest in proper 1st party exclusives and are now frantically trying to catch up.
Its good to see FIFA (the organisation) showing good sense and refusing to favour one market over another. They realise the importance of pushing foo...
Thats too bad Mafia, it was really great.
To be honest you are not missing a huge amount as it is only about 15 minutes long, but it gives you a great 1st look at the artstyle, sound design and gameplay mechanics.
If you are interested let me just say that it lives up to all my expectations, it has this really magical vibe too it, I had a huge grin on my face the whole time I played it.
I cannot wait to get a hold of this game!
Had it on Pre Order for months now, as soon as I saw it I know I would love it.
Just downloaded the demo from PSN and saw the amazing Famitsu review, to say I am excited for this is an understatement :)
For those in the UK, its just £25 on preorder at Shopto, an amazing price for a new release!
So very excited for this game, hope it generates some buzz nearer release as it looks incredible.
Its hard to judge these figures without context. What is the usual pre-order figure for say COD or Madden?
Same as you chief, I am sticking with Sony and so am really looking forward to playing seeing Titanfall a few months after the XB1 release.
I am lucky to have a pretty nice PC but I have more workmates playing on console than PC so this is where I want to play it.
Regardless of how it looks, I always feel like I need another pair of eyes and an extra set of hands to play this game :)
You of course realise that those games you just listed arent out for the XB1 launch right?
By the time you see some of these there will be various PS4 exclusives out too.
Never fails to amaze me when people forget to look at MS track record over the last few years. If you want consistent exclusive games over a variety of genres then ask yourself which console has had the best titles over the whole of its life cycle?
Tontus, you are of course entitled to your opinion, but the fact is that almost every single outlet gave it top marks and there are millions of fans lapped it up and loved every minute.
While most can accept it probably wasnt as good as Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3 was still streets ahead of almost anything else released that year.
I think this is a respectable list chief.
The inclusion of Mass Effect 2, Skyrim, Bioshock, God of War III and Gears of War are essential in my opinion.
Personally I would not include Alan Wake, despite its promise I don't think it lived up to the expectations. It was (and is) a great game, but not one of the best in my humble opinion.
Similarly with Castlevania, another fabulous game but I am not sure I could include it in the top 10. ...
I agree with you, show us some racing.
Like you, I think Evolution are a really good outfit and enjoy the Motorstorm series a heck of a lot (particularly Pacific Rift).
The game is shaping up nicely and with a proven dev at the helm there is no reason to think this game wont turn out to be totally brilliant.
I did/do race with high spec cars and as I said, I find there is a distinct lack of a sensation of speed with the more sim based games.
Even if you travel at 100mph, that's still fast in the real world, but you look at these games and it feels like you are doing more like 50.
Not being down on GT5 or anything, like I said, I love the game, I race with a good wheel and stand and consider myself a bit of a race game fan.
I am not expecting to use this function when I am out and about (if using WiFi hotspots with my phone is any indication) but if it can work over the WiFi in my house I will be more than happy.
Just being able to go to bed and have a blast for half an hour before sleeping will be awesome, some of my best gaming moments have been with Hotline Miami or Lumines in bed :)
Ignore Stank08 guys, looking at his comment history he was never going to make a sensible, objective comment.
Do you realise how low a resolution you are looking at on your VITA?
Up-scaling that to play on a big TV would result in a pretty underwhelming experience.
I don't think DriveClub showed especially well at E3 but the more recent video's have begun to show some real promise.
I think the graphics look really great and unlike the GT series and Forza series there is a really good sense of speed with this game.
I am a fairly hardcore racer, I play with a G27 and adore Gran Turismo (I haven't played a FORZA since 3) but I find that I am getting more and more enjoyment out of arcade racing these days so Dri...
Burnout Paradise had this function, if you have a camera plugged in it will take a snap of your mug as the race ends so you see a jubilant expression on the winner and all sorts of rage on the faces of the losers.
Its quite a cool idea. I will pick up a camera at some point but to be honest I have used the PSEye so little that I will need some good reasons this time around.
Sony know that it benefits their customers to have access to EA's range of quality (in my opinion) games.
But by the same token, EA know that a Playstation sits in tens of millions of homes around the world and there is no way they would ignore that market, it would be the death of them.
They make plenty of cash off some of their franchises but they need the sales from both camps for games, particularly new IP's, to be as profitable as possible.
@Tctczach
Hmmmmm, have you ever taken a look at how popular NFL is outside of the USA?
Now take a look at how many countries around the world where Football is their national sport.
Take it from me, their are many many more Football fans than there are American Football fans.
This is coming from a Brit who actually adores the NFL and MLB.
I would love to know just how many 360's are still working, I know that I have had to buy 3 over the years and I know of many others that have replaced theirs at least once.
Its not something that can be ignored in my opinion.
(I should add that my Launch PS3 PHAT gave up the ghost a couple of years back too :( )
