That article was kind of confusing.
"The content will be released in seasons that can cost gamers up to $40 a piece."
"Two bundles each with 6 characters, stages and a training mode, at launch."
"You can pay $20 again & have 16 characters, or you pay $40 again and you'll get everything."
So does that mean you pay $40's each time to get the full content per season? I can't believe M$ would try to g...
Agreed that's going to take some getting used to. Too bad they couldn't use the touchpad for spotting. At least they have alternate controller schemes. Hopefully, like what they had to offer BF3 controller scheme.
Would love NFS: Underground 3 with chases like Hot Pursuit 2. It can have the new system Rivals is using, but I would prefer to show off my own style with tricked out cars going into events.
My fav Underground 2 cars; Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G35 or Audi TT ... they just looked amazing fully tricked out (widebody kit, jet black, split-hood, chrome wheels, spoiler, custom decals, green headlights and matching green neon tubing).
Agreed, while I loved Burnout, that's not what I am looking for in NFS. I grew to love the fully customizable games from Underground to Carbon, ProStreet to Carbon. I figured them going next-gen would really bring the series back to the forefront of racers.
Nope
I agree I don't see a "massive leap" between the 2 games. While Forza 5 does look very pretty, there isn't a huge difference between the 2 games.
I think the game will eventually run in 1080p. Possibly not at launch, but it will eventually get there. They still have until November 15th, to get the graphics. Or they might do what they did with the XB360 and release an HD texture pack.
Either way the game will be amazing running at 60FPS, 64 players and 720p.
Agreed, this game looks amazing. I love the look and concept of the game. This is a huge step from Deadlight.
I still don't agree with M$ forcing consumers to purchase the Kinect with the XBone. If it's no longer mandatory to use with the system, why do I need it? If the system would be cheaper without it, why not offer it seperately? Only about 25% of XB360 users purchased the original Kinect, it's because they don't want it.
I say create 2 SKUs XBone bundle w/Kinect + FIFA 14 ($499) and a XBone standalone ($399). Both SKUs get a headset. Watch how that would se...

I don't think anybody is getting ahead of themselves. I think people are just stating possiblities. Especially, based off your initial comment to the OP. Bill Gates doesn't run M$, the board of directors run the company. The majority vote will decide the fate of the XBox, if it ever came to a vote.
Honestly, while I would hate to see the XBox go. However, I do think some of their money c...
Not really what the article said. That is M$'s overall goal, but they have a long way to go for that. You apply for the ID, they send you 2 dev kits and you go from there. Sounds like an interesting program.
Well if enough boardmembers get behind ValueAct and they get a seat on the board of directors it doesn't matter what percentage of stake they have in M$. They just have to convience the a majority of the board that the XBox division isn't profitable. The lack of a solid vision and leadership of the division would make that easy to argue.
I doubt they will get on the board though, but if they do I wonder who might buy XBox.
This game is going to be insane. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I agree with you. The only racer that I am interested in is The Crew.
I can't believe NFS actually said racing games are stale. They are not doing anything we didn't see in the last NFS title. What's so different about NFS Rivals compared to the last NFS Most Wanted? Nothing, that I can see. OOPS, that was wrong now they have undercover cop mode.
Bring back true vehicle customization. What they are showing is just a paint ...
Hell where is the video footage of this game play that had you worried? That's my question?
I really want to see some BF4 footage on the consoles.

From a article I thought the PS4 be using both Ustream & Twitch.
This article is honestly no surprise at all. I was hoping to see what their pre-order numbers were for both consoles.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. NFS to me hasn't been the same since ProStreet. I loved when EA BlackBox & EA Canada were handling the NFS series.
Very Very bold statement from EA. They better release all their games multi-plaform to be the most dominant 3rd party publisher.
But so far UbiSoft seems to be doing everything right. EA is coming in at a close second. We haven't heard much from the others. Maybe 1 or 2 games here and there, but no kind of line-up announced like UbiSoft & EA.
Just give me something from Santa Monica, Naughty Dog & Media Molecule. I will be very happy.
I thought at E3 they said it was running at 1080p & 60fps? That's crazy why will all platforms be downgraded to 30fps. Well I was a maybe with this NFS game now I'm a no.
My thoughts exactly, but I don't blame EA. Honestly, the only developers that should be creating exclusive games are 1st party studios. The cost of creating AAA video games is not cheap. To get the most money you need to release it across as many platforms as possible.
