Microsoft had a strong showing at E3. From the titles already mentioned they will have a strong showing at Gamescom, and I hope that they come out and bring some surprises to TGS.
So what device does PS Now work on today? My understanding is that you have to have a PS Vita, PS TV, or a PS console.
So, much for appealing to people who do not want to buy a console.
If it worked on a PC it would be a valid argument. But, without PC support you have to go and buy some sort of PS device.
That is not true at all. The games are distributed to work within a BC Virtual OS on the X1.

It is better than an emulator, it is the actual hardware and OS running in a virtual machine.
The nice thing about this is that it will be portable. They can do the same virtual OS for Wi...
This looks more like a graphics port than a full re-master. Yes, it looks better on PS4 but it doesn't look a ton better.
TLOU was a much more significant change.
First the game is not shipping yet so there is time to optimize it.
Second, the guy on stage nor O'Connor said it was locked at 60 FPS...
Name one new retail game this generation that rated 85 or higher on Metacritic, is locked in at 60 FPS, and was not some sort of re-master or downloadable only game.
How did it look rushed? You say it, but there is no facts backing up that comment.
The last full Halo game was November of 2012 and Halo MCC was done almost entirely by five outside studios.
At E3 2012 Halo 4 was clearly near completion. So, it is safe to say that 343 has been building this iteration since at least early 2012. That means the game will ship over 3.5 years after it started. Unlessyour comparing it to the development time of Duke Nukem Foreve...
I definitely think that games can succeed outside of the fourth quarter. But, console sales and total sales of games are lower through the rest of the year, so you cannot have as many big budget games in months outside of the fourth quarter.
This year there will be Assassin's Creed, Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty, Need for Speed, Halo 5, Uncharted Collection, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Disgaea, Fable Legends, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dragon's Quest, Star Wars Battlefro...
I watched the demo at E3 and nothing looked wrong with it. In fact, no one said anything negative about it. But, as soon as a gaming journalist hooks it up to a framerate analyzer and sees 60 FPS dip the demo became crap. They didn't say the game was locked at 60 FPS in their commentary.
And there is no truly next gen game (a new game that is not a remaster or indie) that has a metacritic rating 85 or higher and hits a solid 60 FPS the entire game. The closest game to...
So you have sale-for-sale and free-game-for-free-game compared over the past three years?
There are is a sale every week on XB stuff and same with sony. 90% of the sales don't even show up on this site.
“it’s always been more of a focus on schedules, I believe that if we can’t maintain quality, it would be better to not release anything at all.”
Wow, Sega may finally get it. They've had a lot of potentially great games in the last decade but almost all of them fell short on the quality bar. Sonic games, Sega Tennis, Viking, Golden Axe Beast Rider, etc. If they would've spent another 6 months on those games they may've sold millions rather than 10's and 100...
The right decision would've been to stop the Cod series about three or four games ago.
Yep, because no one has internet on this site.... Wait isn't an internet connection required to surf the internet?
Back on topic though I don't agree with only giving digital in a limited edition. It is not about the internet to me. It is more about the collectables in the package.
I gave up on gt when they starved gamers only to release a demo gt5 prologue, then released gt5 which was a great game but its career was awful. Then they released gt6 which essentially fixed gt5.
Three releases and only one was worth the price.
Ps3 was a lousily designed console. It turned out that architectural flaws had it on par with 360 a console released a year earlier and cheaper. The console was plagued by performance issues until Sony started making publishers install games on the hard drive.
But, Sony accomplished their goal with ps3. It was a cheap bluray player which won them the hd optical disc format war.
And this generation Ms made similar mistakes with their console.
There are a lot of people that under state the games Rare has made since joining MS...
Kameo Elements of Power was a great game, Perfect Dark was a solid shooter, the Viva Pinata series was great, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts was great (Although it wasn't classic Banjo Kazooie), and even the Kinect Sports games were very good.
They may not have targeted the core gamer, but Rare has never lost its touch for making great games.
After playing the Destiny grind fest of nothingness and seeing the price of Taken Kings I think Xbox was the winner.
Bungie, you have fallen from the skies and down to the depths of the money hungry under belly of gaming.
I have to agree. People have paid $350-500 for next gen consoles and here we are heading into their 3rd holiday and there is only one truly exclusive game that has rated over 90% on Metacritic (Bloodborne).
Worse yet, if you remove remasters there is only one other game this generation that has rated more than 90% and that is Witcher 3.
So, for $350-500 and almost 17 months gamers experienced no exceptionally great next gen games. It wasn't until March ...

If E3 is all about showing vaporware then count me out going forward. Honestly, people can put anything into their presentations then and it means absolutely nothing.
Last year MS showed Phantom Dust, Scalebound, and Crackdown trailers and Sony fans said they were vaporware... Sony shows vaporware this year and gets marks as brilliant. Honestly, it is really clear now... Whatever Sony does is automatically good and receives very limited criticism.....
Amy did a great job writing the previous Uncharteds. Personally, I don't know why 8 months of her work would be scrapped.
But, TLOU was very well done too, so they must of had some reason.
I can't believe the complacency on this stuff.
First, banks and credit card companies keep their networks up almost all the time. I think in the last decade I've had maybe twice where I have gone to a store and not been able to use my credit or debit cards. These gaming networks should be just as reliable.
Second, we pay for these networks. I have a busy life with a job and family. When I sit down and can actually game I need these networks to wor...
