As a veteran console gamer since the NES. I must say honestly I am not hyped up for the next generation consoles. A first actually since I will always be excited for new consoles. I guess is due to being older but in reality I am disappointed that consoles are becoming more and more PC like patching/updating say games and dealing with firmware updates plus accounts. I dislike the notion of the lack of backwards compatibility not because I can't play the games I bought last generatio...
I agree Sony should focused more on showing unique, innovative, exclusives demos
Well as for tomb raider well at least the money I spent on it went to the developer. That's one downside to used games that the developer gets nothing ; however, I can't argue this due to "the first sale doctrine" is a law that legally allows customers to buy used physical products. As for games first not so sure about it meaning mega franchises like Metal Gear (should of been done by now), Final Fantasy, Halo, etc will continue to dominate but new ips will belo...
The reason why the vita is doing poorly is because it's games were designed for consoles not for mobile gaming. Meaning is pretty hard to play a game like say little big planet on the go than say fruit ninja. The mobile gaming market has different audiences and the games need to be made for mobility since gamers are playing while at the DMV, park, or bus. I am sticking for the first time with PC gaming since 1989 I have owned a video game console. But looking at the fact that I ...
I can't wait for it
I don't know but I guess PC is the best platform for the oculus rift due to its raw power. It may work on consoles but maybe not at 1080p resolution.
Congratulations you confused the crap out of me
I like your reply very true but I don't know sometimes if rarely developers with a good track record might mess up. I say go not only with a developer with a proven track record but also help out the developer that is giving something new and innovative gaming experience
Well written blog, I look it this way kickstarter, green light, and indie gogo while flawed and sometimes broken it gives gamers the empowerment to publish games that a major publisher like EA, Activision, Capcom or even Sony may pass up on say game due to being too niche, odd or out there not a run of the mill game. That's just awesome to have a game being published by say gamer.
They sound like deliciounal fans according to your statement. Is just gaming like sports gets people really rile up to pick sides and cheer for their favorite company. Like sports I love it when the dodgers win and get really into the game. Gaming consoles which is mediocre hardware at best still gets people excited and rile up about it don't know why but it has been like this since the release of the magnavox odyssey.
Oculus rift is better, come on I want my oculus rift now
Mario kart 8 is coming on Spring 2014 not Christmas 2013. Not a bad idea of a holiday bundle. Hmm a holiday bundle at $300.00 for the deluxe version of the wii u with donkey Kong Country tropical freeze+Mario 3D land with cat suits. That will sell lots of wii u no
I whole heartily agree but what you said is not happening this Christmas Aaaaaarghhhh Mario kart 8 is coming on Spring 2014not Christmas 2013. That's when the PS4 and Xbox One are already released enjoying it's second or first month.
True, but Microsoft released Gears of War during the launch of the PS3 and wii. Nintendo this Christmas Mario 3D land with cat suits, Wii Party U, and wii fit u. Come on are those games megablockbusters or games that will sway gamers to buy a wii u instead of a PS4 or xbox one. No, Mario Kart 8, Xenoblade 2, Bayoneta 2 and Super smash brothers would of been perfect for this Christmas. Those were the games Nintendo needed this year especially during the launch of its rivals.
Plus marketing, price drop, online gaming on par to STEAM or PC gaming online features, third party support, wii virtual console should of been transferred to wii u not restart the virtual console from square one. That wad dumb is like oh sorry let's start PS Plus from square one or xbox live from square one. See how dumb it is.
It was a good article coming from a Nintendo fan not some corporate sellout journalist looking for hits. Just think about it why is Mario kart 8, bayoneta 2, X2, and smash brothers being released next year as opposed to during the launch of PS4 and Xbox One. It pretty much is allowing Sony and Microsoft to stack up their libraries as opposed to finish them off right there and then during launch. What would you rather buy on Christmas wii party u or infamous second son. No marketing or...
Pretty much that's what game journalism has become, there's hardly any news due to low hits. But when it comes to drama, flametory headlines boy does it get hits.
Same here the game kept me on edge.
I am still scratching my head when it comes to memory allocation, OS footprint, ram, etc when it comes to video game consoles. For PC is pretty standard
The differences between the two upcoming consoles are miniscule. Well here is a list of say differences according to this article :
Xbox One
AV output
One more usb port
External power supply like the xbox 360 (terrible no improvement)
No blu-tooth
DDR 3 instead of GDDR5
Xbox live no discounts, free games, etc also very little support outside of America (very likely to happen)
PS4
