@mikeslemonade...
I have all the PS (1-4) and XB (Original, 360, One) consoles...
I buy multi-plats on XB because I find the online to be more stable, I like the achievement system, and I really like the operating system/app features more than the equivalents on PS.
I may be in the minority, but to me resolution is only one of many things I look at for games... Especially when the difference is as small as 900p vs. 1080p.
I like what I have seen so far. I doubt it will score in the 90's, but it looks like a solid new franchise.
That is really nice to see... A (hopefully) solid exclusive, new retail IP... Actually, this and Project Spark are the only new exclusive IPs this year.
Insomniac has not lost its touch...
They've had one bad game... Fuse...
Resistance and all the Ratchet and Clanks were good... Even though I agree both franchises were being milked the past few releases... That isn't Insomniacs fault. That was more the choice of the publisher to keep running with releases even though they weren't complete or ready.
Add to that the multi-platform games, and you can expect X1 owners to disappear from this site for the next few months.
Seemed to be a good, honest preview...
Looks like the game will probably score in the low to mid 80's on average.
But, most games in this genre don't get really high scores. So I am not concerned...
There were a lot of signs that Destiny wasn't going to be the great game it has been marketed to be...
1) No single player campaign gameplay was shown before release
2) Reviewers were embargoed until after release. Very tight control of press on this game
3) Bungie said, you have to play the game a while before you should develop an opinion
3) There was plenty of marketing hype that was just was not really backed up with anything gamers could real...
I don't know why anyone wants to see any of the consoles be dominant.
PS2 was dominant... Then, Sony released the $600 PS3, a year later than 360, and it was a horrible console for games the first two years...
With 360 MS dominated the US and then proceeded to release a $500 console that forced Kinect, was going to force DRM, etc...
With the Wii, Nintendo dominated worldwide, and then released an under spec'd Wii U...
...
How is it news that a product still in development is running at 30 FPS?
They promised 60 FPS and they will deliver...
If worst comes to worst they could always take the TLOU approach... Ship at variable 60 FPS... But have a setting for locked 30 FPS... LOL...
There is one remaster there. And it probably has the most value of any remaster to date...
Four full games with 8-16 hour campaigns... 100+ MP maps... Everything at 1080p / 60 FPS... And Halo 2 remastered from the ground up from the original XB so the graphical change is significant. I am not a fan of remasters. But, this and the God of War HD Collection last gen on PS3 are probably the top remasters ever.
Honestly, I just expected a better and much more innovative game from Bungie.
I couldn't care less about their preferences. They can love PS4 all they want, I have that console too...
But, this is one game I will not finish. Not because of Bungie leaving MS and working with PS... But, because I expected a more innovative game.
I play through the game thinking... "They left MS to make this? If this is what they wanted to make I s...
Nice to see a possible cult classic coming to X1 this fall.
XBox One has the triple threat for the holidays!
This month Forza Horizon 2...
Next month Sunset Overddrive...
November is Halo MCC...
Add Project Spark...
Add new Killer Instinct DLC...
Add to that short time exclusivity to CoD DLC...
Add to that timed exclusivity for Dragon Age DLC...
XB1 has the best holiday lineup by miles!
I doubt there is anyone here that would say no if MS was willing to pay $2.5 bln for anything they own and were looking to sell like Notch was.
I wish that these opinion games hyping games way before release should be banned. After the past year of hyping games like Killzone, Ryse, Knack, infamous, Watch Dogs, Destiny, etc. as 10/10's well before they released, you would think people would learn...
Yet, here we are probably at least a year before release and this game is being hyped through the roof!
I will agree the trailer was a work of art. But, until we get close to a release date we won...
Forza Horizon 1 was a solid game on 360.
They had me sold a sequel. And since announcing it I have seen nothing but great news from it.
I refuse to comment about the quality of a game before I play it, but, from all indicators this is probably going to be an epic entry into the Forza Horizon series.
I have it digitally pre-ordered and will be waiting at midnight on September 30th to play it!
After Ryse, Watch Dogs, Destiny, Knack, and Killzone Shadowfall....
I reserve judgement until I play the game.
(Although robotic dinosaurs do sound awesome!)
@aerisbueller...
Have you played the new KI? Every fighting game fan I talk to loves the game and I have it and think it is awesome. Definitely a worthy KI game.
Fable has seen nothing but sales growth under MS... Same with Halo...
I think MS has realized their wrongs and have been moving the ship in the right direction the past 9 months. Just like Sony did last generation.
$2.5 bln is nothing for MS... And it is a deal for MS to buy them at this cost.
$2.5 bln looks like a lot, but it isn't when it comes to the potential opportunities with Minecraft.
As for the innovating part. MS is already investing in new IPs... Scalebound, Screamride, Quantum Break, etc and announced 6 new studios recently... And they are supporting their core IPs... Gears, Halo, Fable, Kinect Sports, etc.... So, why can't they also buy existing...
It depends on how you rate games... But, to me... Even though I don't like Destiny I have to give it at least an 8/10....
There is nothing wrong with the gameplay mechanics, there is lots of customization, the multi-player is solid, but the campaign is average.
I don't know how a game with solid gameplay mechanics and a decent multi-player gets anything less than an 8. The campaign is not that horrible.
@poppinslops and Torque_CS_Lewith...
D4 isn't a retail IP... Downloadable only.
@Unreal01...
Yes, DriveClub is a new IP.
