D3 should have fully explorable world's, seamless space travel, into the Solar System and going down onto planets.
You should only have boundaries where The Fallen physically stop you leaving or going to an area.
Proper emergent gameplay, explorable space stations, asteroids, moons.
Destructible buildings and land masses.
A big variety of enemies and Human NPCs, lots of variety in vehicles for players, spaceships and enemy structures...
Loads of people asked for a sequel to Knack, including myself.
The first game was good fun, clearly rushed for launch, but a good launch title for PS4.
One of the biggest ignorances (or lies) among the defenders of XBox is that Phil somehow hasn't had the power to make solid decisions to make positive, gamer focused changes to XBox, yet he was in charge of managing Microsoft Studios going all the way back into 2008.
So many studios have been closed under his watch, it's crazy, so many games canceled long after being announced, absolutely insane and yet the Defenders continue to shout out how now is the time a huge ...
Well even with Guerrilla, ND, Bend, Sucker Punch, Japan and MM all expanding by an extra 50-100% each, they constructed an entirely new studio in Pixel Opus, which was entirely made up of brand new University leavers, they fostered true development within the industry.
They've set up another VR focused studio in Manchester and they've made another AAA dedicated studio (I believe they're near to Naught Dog), they are supposedly the new Uncharted Studio or they could be wor...
How has the direction of XBox turned? The way I see it is that Phil Spencer (a man who's been in a position of power at XBox for 10 years) has continued to talk, talk and talk some more.
Same goes for Aaron Greenberg and every other XBox suit.
They made similar talk earlier this gen, about having more studios in the works, they had about 5 studios which were making XB1 games, which got closed down a few years later.
Now they just seem to have...
My point wasn't really that Sony came before (even though they did), my main point was that the companies Sony bought for cloud gaming weren't small, they were worth close to $2B combined.
Arguably NVidia are doing cloud gaming best, but Sony already has a presence in the dedicated gaming market for streaming, being first and doing it well compared to Microsoft gives them a huge advantage.
PS Now will only get better and Sony certainly has way mor...
PS Now is at least available for gamers to use and it's been shown to work, X Cloud is just a concept, with a flashy Promo video.
Not saying Microsoft can't make it work to a degree, but they can't use the Azure tech already in place to run this.
They need to put a tonne of those Blade Servers, with XBox One tech in, across the locations they want to cover.
I agree though, Streaming is just going to be an option, physical processing h...
Lol exactly, they're used for online applications that aren't gaming related, for the most part.
So far the only stuff used for gaming is the few dedicated servers used in online Multiplayer hosting and their AI stuff for things like Drivatar, they're not built to handle rendering of game visuals, logic or anything to do with cloud gaming as a complete package.
They actually need to build dedicated XBox hardware, shown as XBox One Blade Servers in the P...
Nonsense, Sony owns 140 US and International patents from OnLive's catalog of properties, they were valued at $1.8B (devalued by huge debts, though their parents were worth hundreds of millions of dollars when Sony bought them), they were huge pioneers in game streaming, plus Gaikai wasn't small, Sony bought them for $380m.
Sony have been investing and actually implementing real world technology into a functioning system.
Sony has the resources al...
That isn't showing anything apart from a marketing video, to sell the idea.
God knows whether the video is actually being streamed in response to the user's inputs, it could easily just be a video running on a phone or whatever.
Of course Sony have beaten Microsoft to the punch, they have a platform setup to allow current generation PlayStation games to be streamed, they can easily allow streaming to any device they want.
There's nothing stopping them expanding that to PS5 or allowing it to run on any Smart device.
PS Now came before Project X Cloud.
Latency will never be non-existant, but PS Now seems to work really well.
It's highly likely they could bring a PS5 launch game, would be cool for them to take what they learned from making Horizon and evolve Killzone's formula.
Maybe one of the other New IP concepts will get a debut on PS5, chances are that out of the 50 odd new ideas for new IPs they had when coming up with Horizon a few could have been worthy of further development, perhaps into a third property that will actually release.
No doubt the studio will t...
Well Navi is potentially coming early 2019, tbh 2019 makes the most sense because of Sony's history of launching most of their new Platforms 6 years after the previous generation.
The tech is ready for it to happen Fall 2019, plus you have people like Lisa Sue already mentioning their involvement in both next gen PlayStation and XBox platforms.
Whether it's a Die shrunken Vega to 7nm or Navi, Navi is already basically there and 7nm CPUs from AMD w...
Week? I assume you meant Weak right?
It's possible developers like smaller indie studios would have avoided PS4 if Sony had gone with a boosted version of the Cell Processor, like a quad core PowerPC with 4X the SPUs.
Maybe they would have been OK developing their games for the 4 Cores and 8 Threads of that architecture and avoid using the huge cluster of SPUs, although if the overall architecture of a next gen Cell was easier to use in it's accessibility f...
@TheHan: You need to re-read what I wrote, basically current gen games will run on Next Gen because of the OS and API, hardware is different from a physical, architecture perspective.
System software can easily be written to make running current gen games on next gen AMD hardware.
It won't happen without that and it should be a given that both Sony and Microsoft does it.
That's not exactly how it works, there will undoubtedly be differences in the CPU, GPU and Memory technologies used in the next PlayStation and XBox.
Considering Lisa Sue has already confirmed that AMD are working with both companies we know their tech is going to be used in both next gen platforms, but considering the leap from Jaguar CPU tech to Ryzen and evolution of tech inside the newer processor the overall design of Ryzen isn't identical to Jaguar, same goes ...
Forget my last reply, this Arkham game sounds great, a true evolution of the Arkham formula.
Maybe Superman's overpowered nature meant they couldn't do a full Metropolis game, so they decided to do something different.
Just because it may be set in Arkham City, doesn't mean he isn't something to do with this game.
It could even be something like the Gotham show, more grounded away from Super Heroes.
Hopefully we find out by the end of this year and The Game Awards.
Edit: Scratch what I wrote below, just finished reading the article, it sounds pretty damb awesome, expanded Arkham Batfamily sound great!!!
At one point I think they were meant to be trying to make a Suicide Squad game, Superman was also rumoured.
Perhaps they decided to roll their work with Batman into a JL game, but Suicide Squad could be DLC or a standalone offshoot.
Rocksteady have been quiet for ages, a full on, expanded DC game u...
That "Massive Cloud Advantage" isn't actually built for hosting games yet, they're in the process of putting XBox One hardware in Servers now, but Azure isn't dedicated to XBox gaming.
It's very disingenuous to use Microsoft's Cloud Computing hardware in the same line of chat as gaming specifically.
If all of their servers could host anything then Microsoft would have a point, but they aren't all made for that.
