Nice cover, this new guy seems to have a bit of Dante about him from what I've seen so far. Looking forward to this and how it ties in with the previous 2 games.
Agreed I remember playing Witcher 2 after Skyrim and charged into battle only to get completely trounced by the enemy...I was like what the heck this is great!! Finally an RPG that really tests you out in terms of combat and sword skill. If Witcher 3 is going even further then that's great, bring it on. Best action RPG of this generation by a mile.
Ordered my copy on Friday but its still now showed up yes! Massively jealous of all those who have got this already :)
I'd like it a little less real to be honest but my biggest issue with the trailer is it felt like I was watching a DMC trailer not FF. I'm really not sure on the direction there going. Is it too much these days to ask for a classic turn based FF?
Ni No Kuni did a great job of staying pretty true to the roots of JPRG and sold well...it can be done!!!
Is the broadband even stable enough in Brazil for Xbone? Genuine question as I don't know what the infrastructure is like.
This is why I'm so surprised by the always online thing, ok for places like US and most of Europe, Japan etc but what about emerging markets like Brazil, India and China or maybe these aren't big gaming markets so there not too bothered?
Day one, looks amazing.
Agreed, even if a publisher did implement something how's that gonna sell in reality? It's already been a flop with online passes hence EA dropping it.
If EA for example bound my copy of Madden to my PS4 all I'd simply do is not buy any of the next iterations because lets be honest there are no great revolutions in games like Fifa or Madden and where on the PS3 I've bought Madden 12 and then traded it in to get Madden 13 you know what I'm gonna do if EA o...
@Above...Right I get it with the TV thing, that makes sense to me and were already seeing that I guess with the smart TV's. The online thing still doesn't work unless the cable providers allow there channels to be streamed which means giving up some control and I think the thought of doing it frightens them, will people be able to hack into it etc..
The netflix thing is interesting, I see more and more adverts from them now with "exclusive" content and ulti...
I still don't yet see a path for companies like Google, Apple, MS or whoever to "take over" the living room. I just don't see how those guys are going to compete with TV content/cable providers like Sky, Virgin (this is in UK). I'm on Sky and I can't really see why Sky would want to give control of the TV experience to a company like Apple or MS or how they would even be able to integrate everything into 1 box without losing any of the benefits my current Sky cable b...
Agreed everyone says EA will do this and that if Sony don't implement it but bottom line is it would be commercial suicide for someone like EA to drop Sony. EA and Activision can scream all they want but I just don't see it. This console runs games offline, that much has been made crystal clear, how do you implement DRM on a console that doesn't require you to be online.
The PS4 runs offline so its really not feasible for someone like EA to put a DRM in without requiring the user to be always online...this on a console that doesn't force it so EA or whoever are immediately going to alienate a lot of people if they implemented something like this. It simply won't make sense for a publisher to do that and it'll probably be a legal minefield considering the console runs offline. Sony can sit back and say its up to the the publishers but would any rea...
A lot of these $$$ comments are working of the assumption that putting in DRM will financially boost publishers etc..
Step back and look at the PC for a moment which effectively has DRM in most of its games one way or another and is that really working for publishers? Torrent sites are max'd out with EA games and people ripping there software.
I suspect all DRM does is promote more piracy, who has the numbers to actually backup the case for DRM = more $$...
Sony's establishment of Blu Ray as the defacto HD standard makes the PS3 a massive success regardless of whether it catches Nintendo this gen (We all know it surpassed MS a while ago). The fruits of establishing Blu Ray as the HD standard they will reap for a good while, MS already confirming Blu Ray into XBone. Important not to forget when this gen started out it was very much up in the air which standard would come out on top so this will no doubt have been 1 of the key objectives of th...
@Belking: Godmars is probably talking about the first sale right of consumers which means when we buy something the copyrighter gives up everything to us for that physical thing we bought whether that be a book, CD or game. I do however take your point about the EULA and this is where its all gonna get a bit murky.
Couple of interesting reads: http://www.thever...
I buy new but swap and trade a lot with my brother so my point was if Sony restrict me in that area it will be a turnoff for me and I might not get a PS4 as a result. Thought that was pretty obvious..
Just praying Sony do the right thing on used games. If they do this is all day 1 for me.
This was the first thing that came to my mind when this whole news broke. I thought I would see an article about it sooner, anyway its a good question, it all depends what the EULA states on these games, basically XBONE is a PC in all but name, it certainly represents a PC much more than a console in my opinion. Looking at PC's haven't they had this this single ownership restriction for a while now with CD keys, online registration etc..?? So its happening in that arena legally?
Guys you have to stop thinking of XBONE as a console, that day is ended. It is now basically a PC and has all the limitations and restrictions of a PC with regards to used games/trade ins. For PC gamers its not an issue as they've made that conscious choice but MS are now switching what was a console with all the benefits of a console to something much closer to what a PC is.
Think about what we've heard in the last 48hrs and ask yourself is this really any different ...
You can't really roll out the whole Steam/PC argument, PC's and Steam have been like this for pretty much ever...its a conscious choice by the PC user. One of the big benefits of consoles over PC's is the whole swap/trade/2nd hard market which is now potentially at an end.
Xbox One is NO LONGER A CONSOLE, its basically a PC which people need to start understanding. Xbox one is now competing more with a PC that it is with say Nintendo and probably Sony.
Looks awesome, don't know what the fuss is about.
