Actually, it's a terrible day for gamers. A whole bunch of crybabies got their way for all the wrong reasons. A few outlets were sharing incorrect information about Xbox One, and the misinformation spread like wildfire. Now, because everyone pissed and moaned, we are ALL losing on probably the most innovative feature of Xbox One that NOBODY was talking about, Family Share is now a thing of the past. Xbox One WAS able to sell used games, as they announced. The 24 hour connection was ...
MS has stated that this particular facet of the DRM isn't finalized yet. The way it stands now, you won't need any disc to play beyond the initial install, and the 24 hour connectivity check is to ensure that you're not letting all your friends install your copy of the game on their consoles and play a single player version of the game. I can see them implementing a rule that if your connectivity fails for 24+ hours, you could be required to play with the disc inserted. Of course,...
"Stunning" is a bit strong, but the black jewel case is quite nice. However, that being said, if there is going to be a black case, then the PS4 title bar on the insert shouldn't be blue, it should be a color that complements the black case, like in the Helghast face cover art. That's a thing of beauty.
It's hardly a shitstorm, it's one f***ing person who won't shut up about it, and they are reacting to something he didn't even say. What an idiot.
Pachter is 100% right about the TV tuner being important to the capability of the Next Xbox. Like the blu-ray player for the PS3 and motion controls for the Wii, it is a differentiating factor for the console. Right now almost everyone rents their set top boxes from their cable company. Being able to buy a games console and eliminate the monthly charges to rent those boxes should not be underestimated. I for one would love to have a single box that could tune my TV, act as a Media Center ...
Also, the PS3 isn't done yet, and it's going to sell a lot more than 73-75 million units. Look at the PS2, it sold nearly 200 million units and sold steady and hard well into the current generation. That's because once the PS3 came out they dropped the price of the PS2, which made it more appealing to consumers. The games for it were now cheaper since many of the best games were "classic" titles and could be gotten for under $20, and the system itself was available fo...
This article is really weak in a number of areas. First of all, Pachter didn't contradict himself, and I think he MAY be right, this COULD be the last generation of home consoles. Just because the next gen will sell well, that doesn't mean that there will be another gen of home consoles, there will be a different type of games system that might be dominant. I think we probably have one more after this, but unless we see trends changing, I think the dedicated powerhouse home console...
Is this article a joke? It's bad enough when you have to click through a slideshow of a top 10, but he's releasing each one a week apart? Not only that, but each week he's giving a 3 sentence summary? Is he going for "laziest article of the year" award? If you're going to wait a WEEK between entries, you should write a nice long writeup on each game in the list, telling us why it's got so much reply value and what makes it one of your favorite games. Convince us ...
I didn't like this 4 years ago when it was called Philips ambX. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Not cutscene images, they were the images they used during disc changes. Still stupid though, because these images have been around since 1997.
Oh god, that was so funny!
Feb. 28th is a Thursday, video games come out on Tuesdays typically. Clearly this is a placeholder, as many above have said. N4G seriously needs to stop putting these "breaking news articles" on the site.
Amazon posts guesstimates of dates frequently, that's not a guarantee of ACTUAL release dates. Those dates change all the time. Halo 4 had a release date of 12/31/2012 forever until 343 Studios announced the real release date. You guys need to stop acting like amazon gets insider information, it's just a placeholder people.
Sackboy and Cloud would be AMAZING in this game. Seeing little Sackboy get the stuffing knocked out of him is a POSITIVE reason why I'd want him there, not to mention all the fun gadgets and costumes he could have! And Cloud has a TON of material to base his moveset on. People complaining how "emo" cloud is need to get past it, it's a FIGHTING GAME, nobody cares about STORY in a FIGHTING GAME.
And for the record, Sully more than held his own in that bar r...
Who cares about changing discs? Back in the PS1 days games came on 3 or 4 CDs at times. So now it's on 2 DVDs, OH THE HORROR! Typically it happens one time in a game's playthrough, and even on open-world games where you may move back and forth between areas, you might have to change the disc 4 times max. Has that really ruined your experience? Sure, one disc is convenient, but seriously, who gives a crap?
Change the link to inclue the "www." in front, the link doesn't work without it.
I agree with basically every other comment, there's no way this is Doom 4. The style is just NOT "futuristic space marine" at all. It looks closer to Rage than Doom 4 but it's not that either.
Did anyone else notice the headline in the Hottest link at the top of N4G said "Study Confirms Videogames Do Not Cause Youth" and think the headline was much funnier without "Violence" at the end?
Code doesn't work any more, must have killed it.
You do realize that by eliminating Kinect, you'd basically have to rewrite the entire OS that was planned and designed around it being an integral part of functionality, right? And that by eliminating it, you would essentially be dooming the console to be delayed for months, if not a full year, to completely rewrite the code? That's what you want, amiright?
