That truck analogy doesn't fit with games and here is why. A person who buys a game buys it for the experience and then can be passed on to the next consumer who will get that exact experience, no depreciation. The other major flaw is if that truck cost you $15,000 dollars the maker of that truck sells it and makes a small profit. Are you trying to tell me games cost $60 to make? If a game cost 20 million dollars they need to sell a certain amount of copies to make a profit. They have a o...
The PSP Go was restrictive too was it not? Obviously Sony will try and do things too to see how consumers react. Sony was also part of that Rootkit scandal with CD's. Everything you buy on the Sony store is restrictive. Warhawk restricted you to a 24 hour period on another system. Final Fight on Playstation Network had DRM but not on Xbox Live. Sony also adopted online passes.
So let's not act like one company has been 100% perfect in the past.
@Hicken,
"The games will talk, by the way, just as they did this gen. I'm still waiting on that 360 game that looks better than Uncharted 2; we're not even gonna get to The Last of Us."
Why do games have to look better to be better? If that were the case you'd be supporting the PC platform.
"It's frankly gotten annoying, seeing you and others run around the site spreading misinformation and outright lies because Microsof...
@Hicken,
"I'm not here to convert anybody into the same type of gamer as me, so I don't really care that you prefer a couple of MS franchises to everything on PlayStation."
Sure you care. It's why you bashed Kinect, told everyone that Microsoft somehow thought the Xbox 360 stop releasing hardcore games and now you will continue to troll the Xbox One as much as you can.
"But one thing I WILL do is try to influence people to b...
Ok, here's something new that the article is talking about. Stock prices.
https://www.google.ca/finan...
For the last year Sony's stock price hit a low of $9.57 and a high of $23.38. It is now $19.88.

He says you will always have access to your games. At 1:04 of the video, he says you will be locked out of multiplayer, just like banned players on other systems.
This is why certain individuals should not be allowed to comment on certain systems when all they are interested in is painting the darkest picture possible and mi...
Well my net hasn't gone down for a 24 hour period in the years I live where I do now. Of course my experience isn't the same as everyone's but I don't imagine a lot of people suffer from internet blackouts for long durations.
Now that the disc is stored in the cloud there is no exchanging of discs. That means one person in your 10 family circle can access your games at any time from anywhere. From my understanding only one person from that family circle can ac...
Major Nelson, "Absolutely not, you will always have access to the games you purchase".
Not sure how that will work if it requires an online connection?
He also touched upon the HDMI input. That means you can plug in your PS3 or PS4 and get a Xbox One overlay and still get friend invites for Xbox Live while playing games on your Playstation. Lol.
That is actually a pretty cool feature because you could get invites and messages throug...
You also don't even need to wear a headset now do you since it does voice? Now that the camera is far more accurate maybe they can actually prove it's a viable addition to the controller. The thing can actually read your heart rate.
Microsoft is going in a new direction, they want everyone to be connected, have the cloud be a major part of it, have Kinect be standard so you can speak to turn it on and things like that as well as it auto-signing people in and knowing w...
So instead of talking about the PS4 you keep feeling the need to bash the Xbox One instead? How mature. Indie developers are not happy that they can't self publish their games on the Xbox One and that is something they will be looking into. That is why Sony is doing a better job at getting indie developers.
It's amazing how some people on here are not here to actually have rational discussions but instead need to resort to fanboy tactics which is all about attention i...
@Snookies, this is about the PS4 not the Xbox One.
I imagine once Gaikai comes out in 2014 it will help solve some of the backwards compatibility issues. This is another reason I will be holding off on getting a PS4 until next year. Games like Infamous and Gaikai will then be available.
Exactly but people will still focus on certain things and believe their own arguments.
1. Not going to happen. By having Kinect in every system that means it won't be treated like a peripheral. It's like asking Nintendo to drop the Wii U Gamepad. When you treat devices like a peripheral like Sony is doing wit their Eye camera hardly anyone will ever take advantage of it. This happened on the Ps2 and the hard drive and the Playstation Move which was a great product but...
@Muerte2494,
"I really don't see how anyone can buy Xbox One. No, games were running on your actual hardware. Horrible DRM policies. High price tag and only 1 guaranteed launch title (Forza 5). How the mighty (america only) have fallen, indeed. Glad I sold my Xbox360 since my microsoft points weren't refundable and just were going to expire."
1. The PS3 sold quite well and it was $600 and had a poor line-up of games.
2. The argument ...
They need to clarify if that system gets banned. I imagine it will either be a $500 paper-weight or authorized dealers can reset the system.
I want to see how well it plays online and Microsoft's commitment to cloud gaming. Will those 300,000 servers mean no lag?
@DragonKnight,
"You just proved my point. Low sales and your friends who play RPGs on PS3 prove the Xbox userbase doesn't care about RPGs."
Of course they do. Oblivion and Skyrim and Fallout were all successful on the Xbox 360. Lost Odyssey also sold close to 1 million copies. FFXIII sold close to 2 million copies. Games that are aimed solely to the Japanese market that don't sell very well outside of Japan will of course tank on the Xbox since they ...
It's hard to say. What they need to do is have in-game shots where the hud is displayed so that we know the player is in full control. Too many tricks are out there. A game like Uncharted for example looks even better during a sequence when the player has no control. Once it goes back with the hud on display the graphics get toned down. We also have to compare the games while in the same settings. Have both at 30fps and in 1080p if that is what Killzone is. If Crysis looks slightly worse ...
So you ask me to provide proof that LBP wasn't the first for that genre yet you want to talk about runors and the Xbox One and ESRAM?
http://i.imgur.com/ZPqBI7m....
Now it's your turn to provide proof.
There were plenty of games on the PC that touched on modding and creating. LBP just brought it to the mainstream and made a game based solely on that. Minecraft brought things to...
There seems to be a lot of misleading information here about the 10 family member service for the Xbox One.
This is exactly what it says on their website so that there i no confusion:
"Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play you...
1. Online check-in.
Doubtful they will change that. It is needed to make sure people don't take advantage of that 10 family circle.
2. Rights to your games
This can all be tweaked over time by listening to feedback. It's all software based.
3. Kinect.
No, they want a Kinect in every system and I don't blame them. This way itt's not treated as a peripheral and everyone will be on a level playin...
