Where have you been?
Ms have been charging for online services for the best of a decade...
the service was unrivalled at the time though... and in some way the funding has gone to providing dedicated servers to developers free of charge.
Dedicated servers ARE a huge contributing component IMO to next-gen online multiplayer.
Personal note... I actually don't want hashed old games for free.
I download them anyway incase I g...
You just have to watch 30 mins of E3 footage to notice that both can come across quiet arrogant.
Nintendo were the only ones to display consistant humility during E3 this year.
Confidence can be misconstrued as arrogance.
But when you address that both companies are trying to sell you something... it's neither confidence nor arrogance. It is only persuasion.
Grandma's are old... but you still take your kids to see them every once in a while
I was impressed by that screenshot... I actually thought it was halo 4...
Nonetheless, it looks hot dude. The lighting and the crisp textures and landscaping.
I agree with the article.
MCC is going to be a serious purchase that next to all Xb1 owners will wish to have. There is just too much stuff to offer in there, it's hard to believe its legitimate.
Not only can you play any campaign level you wish... but H2 H3 H4 online multiplayer on dedicated servers?
Damn... that is most certainly the best offer i've seen on a console since the 82 in 1 game pack for the gameboy, when I was 7 years ol...
Bungie are a strange company.
The dragged out the Halo franchise for years bleeding it for every cent.
They even chopped in some half class titles to spread the load a bit.
Its strangely convenient that they always manage to drop a new game/franchise at the best possible time.
I'd expect destiny has been planned for a lot longer then we might think. Great gameplay/acceptable graphics, multiple platform release.
It...
Isnt it comical that we're all here writing about it though?
Im a real-lifer. I play games... drive a car... work 9-5... make music... play in a band... have a girlfriend.
Obviously not refering to you, but there are a lot of people on this website that need to get a life. The console war stands as testament to how many people have nothing better to do in their life then trawl through N4g slaggin a rival console off...
It's so lame th...
I think you'll be happy with ANY next gen console if you are committed to paying for it.
Just like I love my MacBook... although now it's 2 years out of date and has cost me 2500pounds for the 3yr finance package I signed up for.
Could've got a mega laptop... but I wanted what I wanted and so goes the satisfied purchase.
It's an article... the title is just click bait anyway
The title sounds super pretentious... but at least the content within the article was worth reading.
I like Xbox live gold home. This will be a game changer late in the cycle where PSnow and PS+ accounts for each player become ridiculous expenditure.
I'd rather a 3ds then a vita. So the whole portable argument is a bit redundant in my case.
People just mod PSP's and download games for it anyway... so why would PSnow be important for t...
Similar with the music industry... if you can "break america" you've made it and will continually be a cash cow for years to come.
Also, because they're a "super-power" and have 300,000,000 citizens.
If you sell a game to .03% of the country... you've sold 10,000,000 copies.
Should be easy pickin's really!
Im just moving in with my missus in the next week and she had her console rights removed when she was younger because she broke a vase over spiderman on the Ps1.
I think Ori will be the perfect game to get her back into things, she loves cute things :)
Prop up the company save it from a financial crisis

Bash microsoft publicly
Nah man, it's the role it plays in the equation.
It's like having an 8 legged octopus as your dealer in a casino. It serves a specific role and does everything faster then everyone else at the table.
The octopus has to be trained to use every limb individually from game to game.
It could be dealing cards in poker... those cards are small but hugely important in the long run.
He's gotta get cards to the right guys at the right time, otherwi...
I presume they'll both be running upscaled graphics. For a 62" TV you're supposed to sit like 8ft away from the thing.
At this moment in time, you can expect 4K with <15fps.
I don't think 4K will catch on... maybe in the movie industry.
Then again... whats the deal with new apple computers and those retina displays?
Esram puts MS in a weird situation.
At present it's a supposedly negative... but to consider that in the future when development costs spiral, better dev kits, minor hardware limitations and better developers will surely make developing for the bone that little bit more attractive.
To be fair, when the 360 first came out they were following their first console.
So I imagine trying to take Nintendo and PS4 at that time would've been a bloodbath. They're in a better position now considering China is finally on their map
Hell... its already awesome that one xbox live account on a console renders all accounts with a gold membership. Games with gold (although the games aren't the best on the scene) effectively gives everyone using the device a new game.
A feature im sure many gaming parents will appreciete...
Lol, I always find the way these patents are drawn out to be absolutely ridiculous!
Look... isnt that "sully" from monsters inc?
"Please see figure 1. Here we have a man pointing said device at a Pixar's character, in the presence of a plant"
What this document means for VR... likely nothing.
Personally, not interested in VR in the slightest.
