I don't pretend to know how the videogame industry works. But, it seems to me, an accredited videogame journalist like Sessler - a man whose name pops up, arguably, more than any other video game journalist - would typically get early access to new consoles.
I mean, isn't that just good marketing? Get your console in the hands of well known and trusted reviewers so that they can start getting gamers excited. I mean, Forbes... but not Sessler? That makes zero sense. <...
I respect your opinion, but I can't say that I've read many - if any - impressions that coincide with what you've said in your article. Particularly the impression of DR3.
3 weeks and I get to judge for myself. But, I find much of what you're saying hard to believe.
I'm just here to make snarky comments at your expense... I thought it was obvious?
Never say never! Quantum physics + time travel + teleportation tech = yo, latency, peace out homie.
give it a few years.
bro.
I expect nothing short of perfection, otherwise I'll make a big stink all over the internet, cancel my console preorders, jump into a bottomless chasm.
Seriously, though, really no need to get all hot and bothered over this. Plenty of videos have surfaced of both consoles encountering issues at some point. These things happen. Launch units will be hunky-dory.
ZOMG Xbox indie program is reactive? gasp!
Wait a minute... why do I care again?
Never mind. Moving along.
You and me both, sugarpie. ;)
They've really been ramping up the ad campaign. Lots tailor-made for Canadians, too, including this one. A few came on during the Leafs game the other day, which gave me the opportunity to gargle, swoon, and make snarky comments in front of my friends. Also gave my girlfriend the opportunity to roll her eyes at me.
Once again, N4G gobbling up anonymous info as if it were word of god. Seems to be happening all too often lately...
You tell me?
It's not true. Mikelarry is trying to pass off speculation as fact. How about instead of inventing controversial explanations, we wait for a genuine one?
....did you watch the video above.
Holy FRICK. Look at it. The damage, the lighting, reflections, models, environments... its perfect. That video has cemented this at a guaranteed day 1 buy for me. Maybe the most visually impressive thing I've seen yet. Or... ever.
Not enough for you?
Awesome.
No kidding! I'm as excited and ever, and that's all that matters. As are we all, obviously. Articles like these articles should never be approved.

If you want to voice your opinion in a public forum, you should sure as hell be prepared to face criticism. Go ahead and grow a pair.
He really does never seem to say anything. His efforts are fruitless. Seems like a nice guy, but with 3 weeks to go I think the pointless PR push needs to end. It's not like there's time to turn it around.
Anyone and everyone whose actually paying attention to this garbage has already long since made a decision.
Uhhhh.... lol.
What exactly am I supposed to take from that. Has nothing to so with anything that I said. Why don't you just relax there buddyguy.

Well put. COD should be able to run 1080p on all next gen consoles and PC. But, if the Xbox is too hard to program for / in a state of flux, then I won't hesitate to grab the best version possible, in spite of my affinity for the Xbox brand and connection to the online service.
I'll always have the best version of each game. But I do remain positive until we get official confirmation. This all seems hard to believe to me.
If the PS4 is as good as it has been made out to be, Sony should have nothing to wory about by sending sessler a console. They would have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Only sessler would have anything to lose, because if he really is as biased as you make him out to be (doubtful) than he would lose all credibility.
Is Microsoft equally as selective about which media outlets get access to their console? A serious question.
