Depends. If HD ports include multiple games, mode, additional goodies like Halo MCC with 4 games and over 100 maps, Gears Ultimate with 4 BC games included and 5 additional maps not available from the original game, I have no issue with them.
But if they are just straight up single game ports with no extra like Sleeping Dogs, Outsiders 2, GOW3, and those upcoming David Cage games like Beyond Two Souls selling for $30 or more, then BC is a godsend.
It all depends. Most parents and casual buyers aren't like us gaming junkies and know the in and out of each system's strengths and weaknesse as price, marketing, and trend are most likely the key deciding factors for the holidays.
Most don't have any idea which one has BC, dedicated servers for most of the games, future proof techs like Live Cloud compute, external HDD option, the one with more 1080p ports, more indies, has the best AAA exclusive games..etc. But ...
Correction, PS Experience*
Edit @PreAtaric below,
"You honestly believe that all the things you listed are killer features?"
Yes
Same as PS4 since day one of release. Fact
Of course. BC with last gen console, external HDD support, Elite controller, Unlimited cloud saves, friend notification, Dedicated servers for all first party titles online, Cloud Compute, Windows 10 integration, NXE with that is the fastest in the business, 2-3 xbox 360 titles per month to gold member, have the best selling exclusive this generation in Halo 5, tons of new IPS and games for 2016 and beyond scheduled, unlimited backing from one of the richest companies in the world, and a gre...
Yup, it handily outsold Killzone Shadow Fall on PS4.
Wow 5 Games That Include 3 BC titles. Well done MS and I will get all of them. Best online freebies subscription service for any console.
Don't forget that for those without subscription, you can get Live Gold for your first month for only $1. Now it is no better time to jump ahead.
Nice! Just tried it yesterday and definitely saw great improvement for Gears 3 and Judgement. Defintely great news that these BC can be updated to make them better. Can't wait for more BC titles to come out.
Bought mine. Can't wait to play it tomorrow after the download.
Can't wait for PSX. Bought ticket the first hour it went on sale.
Hope So. :D.
I am thankful we have a platform like N4G to allow us to receive up-to-date news and the wonderful people that made this place happen like Cat, Christopher, and Cool Bean. Keep up the good work guys and Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow N4G members. You guys are all winners in my book regardless of who will get a $100 Amazon gift card.
Very unfortunate as streaming on Windows with console is amazing and I use it everyday but knowing Sony they would definitely put a stop to this with a patch. Hopefully Sony can release their own official remote play on PC app soon for free to us PS4 owners.
Seated. NO thanks. For example, if you are seated on a FPS for example, then really your head motion of looking up, left, right, down will be the only use as a controller in your hand will still be required so it really defeat the purpose of an evolutionary interactive VR experience like we all would have hope for.
It is worth a $3 rental at Redbox. $60 including The $50 DLC for the full game...HECK NO. All the contents should be included or make those DLCs free when they are out to make up for the lackluster contents of the game at launch. $20 tops is the price I am willing to pay for it and not a cent more.
39% for xb1 is great considered the PS4 59% consisted of more consoles and bundles in the UK chart are counted.
Having said that, it is still only the fourth best selling game this year on its release week in the UK.
"Don't flatter yourself. This is one of only 3 comments I have made after coming into articles and seeing something you said that I find ridiculous and can expose you on as having double standards."
Lol, thanks for reiterating my case. 3 or 5, that is 3x too many with bringing in off-topic Xbox related materials into my posts that had nothing to do with them. Smh
"considering your history?"
LoL again. PLEASE go take ...
Not to mention the hacked ps4 method only allow 720p streaming for PS4 games due to that is the limit Sony have set for the PS remote play option on PS4. The xb1 windows 10 official option is up to 1080p and 60fps on my 1440p screen. Big difference.
Happy birthday, XB1.
My top 10 games thus far on the big X:
1. HALO 5
2. Forza 6
3. Rise of the Tomb Raider
4. Ori
5. Forza Horizon 2
6. Halo MCC
7. Sunset Overdrive
8. Dead Rising 3
9. Titanfall
10. Rare Replay
Of course with every major AAA games, BC, and upcoming 2016 and beyond exclusives, are tons and tons to play on XB1.
The title is a little bit harsh. The game is OK, but the contents and reply value without then $50 money grabbing DLC pretty much is the issue. Mediocre would be a better choice of word than bad.
