Wasn't it just announced a day ago that Black Flag players would need an online pass to access portions of the game like sending pirate ships to do tasks etc. So is this not the case now?
The Wii was also the cheapest console, $250 at launch and introduced the world to the fad of motion gaming.
On the other hand the bone is the most expensive console and is just refining now tired motion gaming.
Seems to me that focusing on resolution is a deflection from the real problem which is that the bone is an overpriced unpowered machine. And while resolution on these launch titles is the primary difference in multiplats, what compromises will have to be made in order for the bone to compete on future more complex titles?
Wow fantastic month for me, I don't have a single one of them !!
No I mean Microsoft doesn't, you don't have to pay Microsoft a licensing fee to sell a game that runs in Windows. You do have to pay them a licensing fee to put a game on Xbox, they get a taste of every piece of software sold on Xbox, not the case with Windows.
Microsoft doesn't get a dime of the PC version regardless of it running in windows. So yeah definitely the version I'll get if I even get this game.
Until Nintendo gets a unified account structure I'll avoid their digital offerings like the plague.
And locking prices is another turn off to Nintendo, rarely buy their games unless I can get them on a buy 2 get 1 sale or used. For a company aimed at families they sure know how to stick it to them. And they wonder why piracy on the Wii and DS were so high.
To be fair Microsoft did give their fanboys the semi exclusive Titanfall as fodder. Funny how that announcement came the same day the battlefield 4 embargo was lifted and everyone was talking about how Battlefield 4 was inferior on the bone.
Reminds me of a line from Mad Men that went something like this: "If you don't like what you're customers are talking about, change the subject."
To bad for Microsoft that Respawn took some wind out of ...
Microsoft doesn't get a piece of the PC version just because it's played in the windows environment like they do on the Xbox systems. If the game is good that's where I'll get it since I have no plans to own a bone and I think the 360 version will be inferior.
It's Capcom so the add-on packs are probably already on the disk.
Seems to me that bots are focusing far too much on resolution and not looking at the big picture which is that the bone is an overpriced unpowered machine. And while resolution on these launch titles is the primary difference in multiplats, what compromises will have to be made in order for the bone to compete on future more complex titles?
Only if you're waiving an Xbox flag.
@IHassounah: Forza uses last gen cheats like forward rendering and baked lighting. Plus racing games aren't as resource intensive as other genres.
Wow, can't believe what I'm reading. Well anyway welcome to the dark side No_Limit.
The bigger picture says this deal was just inked. Meaning Microsoft is still not liking what they are seeing as far as demand for the Xbone. Not sure a game available on other platforms is really going to change anything, maybe they want this to be the Xbones Gears.. who knows.
PC version it is!
Pretty simple, you don't need the day 1 patch to run retail games, so it's not removing DRM that doesn't exists.
Nice! When I saw that they were putting in full sized jackets I was concerned they were going back to DVD style cases and not blu ray. But very smart hw they did full sized jacked because looking at GTAV you can see that the top is wasted and looks silly since they removed the playstation logo that used to be etched from that spot. I assume that will happen with Xbone games down the line. Also smart as it will create less confusion with blu ray movies. And really liking the blue colored c...
I wonder if IGN is using the PC version set similar to Xbox One settings for the Xbox One footage, because how did they get multiplayer gameplay when everyone else is saying they don't have access to multiplayer on the Xbox One? And how come theirs is so different from everyone elses Xbox One footage?
I'm pretty sure Microsoft is going to be running ads that say something along the lines of "Xbox One is the only next gen console to feature Titanfall." And there is nothing wrong with that, just as there is nothing wrong with this. Something out of nothing.
