PC, Sony, and Nintendo fan. I take apart and build things.

Context, Skull. Context.

MS is spinning here AGAIN. Their Azure cloud was merely a huge server made up of AVERAGE server hardware back in 2012. Certainly not impressive today. The only impressive thing is its size. But, what is quality over quantity anyways?

And, back onto the context statement. Azure wasn't built for game streaming. So, when they brag about size right now, they are spinning Azure's server size, but not game stream...

Their major studios have two large teams to create multiple IP's at one time. And, sometimes a smaller third team for small titles and managing a few updates for big titles.

They aren't giving up on KZ. I imagine they would explore new MP ventures eventually, just as they went big on their first single player driven title

I think building is a great idea. But, I hated how frantic the building in Fortnite was. I think we need a BR with better pacing and meaningful building mechanics.

I remember playing StarHawk on PS3, and the building was relatively good and not OP. It was mainly to barricade your base, But, if not, you couldn't simply keep building over and over and over. You had to earn it by gathering points from certain areas and by taking it from players.

I would like to see their take on a fantasy sandbox world with RPG elements like DragonQuest Builders.

I also think they could deliver a game similar to Fable. Too bad Lionhead couldn't keep the ball rolling.
Both studios are(formerly) based in Guildford, UK. It would be quite an interesting coincidence.
But, now that I think about it. The narrating voice in LBP and Fable were nicely done and in similar fashion. Stephen Fry did the voice in LBP, and di...

Like Rainslacker said.

Reading, and understanding are two different things. It can't decode the information fast enough to properly send the information to your TV. Pretty sure MS wouldn't have upgraded the Bluray drive hardware if it only needed a software update, and their old XBox would have offered it.

Wait, so you're saying they don't offer 4K bluray, locked behind a software update, to sell standalone Blur...

That's why I normally turn aim assist off for console. Also, when someone runs in front of your target so drags your view left or right as they go past. Most games I can do without it. But, if players are jumping overhead then assist will help follow like in Destiny

The wheelspins kinda make the small credit boosts negligible though

It's fun but it is very Alpha stage. Just fly around in yours or a friends ship, visit space stations, fly to the planets surface, or play the multiplayer deathmatch.

When you get this game, you know it's an investment, and look at all the technologies and new applications they're doing with the game. It's not a scheduled release anymore. It's when they finish it.

Just listen to yourselves. MS is "innovating" by trying to get rid of latency for streaming? You're saying it "hasn't been done"? Seriously? You think no other streaming service is improving latency?? You just eat up MS PR like it's special.
Oh, and they're late to the game. Don't spin that as them waiting when the time is right.

How do we always have people act like everyone bu...

I believe it was LinusTechTips that did this. But, a comparison with House Of Cards Netflix 4K and Bluray 4K was obvious which was which. They said that the quality of the 4K stream in this test seemed close to the 1080p Bluray.

The PS1 and PS2 era brought a lot more popularity to gaming. Those games made more money than before. PS4 is easier to develop than previous platforms. A lot of games are breaking sales records and the console attach rate is very high. They're making more income than before. They may need more devs and skills than before but these are more commonplace now.

So... What important speculation do you have examples for?..

Do you know the difference between speculation and rumor?

Speculation: MS talks to devoper. Are they acquiring them? We have no more info, but lets post wishful thinking.

Rumor: Leaked docs, representative hints new ownership, trusted source gives word, dev drops support on other platform amid multiple meetings with so and so, etcetera. Just communicating is not grounds for...

Because, that's how speculation works. You can't see the future and know if they're right or not. What speculation gets approved for other consoles?

1. Science explains things differently as science requires different view points and explanations to explain things more precisely, just like medical terminology meaning something other than the general meaning.

2. The first definition on Google - "covered or saturated with water or another liquid". Guess what is saturated with water? Any body of water.

3. Referring back to 1. The bottom of your link gives you the basic run down of three ways o...

"And they are also not likely to appear on the X1 too if something was not done..."

What? The new Dragon Ball Z games are actually big hits. They pump them out yearly with great success. The past games had been successful in NA and that is what brought these games to the system.

"...especially Code Vein."

Code Vein is Bando Namco who do a ton of Western releases of Japanese games. It&#...

See, here's the thing.

You can't think of it from one perspective and from only the positive light.

Do you expect them to say "Yes, we don't plan on buying any more studios"?
Why would they say that? Of course, they will keep the topic open. This is literally how MS gets so much free PR from fans, on top of their massive PR budget. They always leave open ended statements that "look up&...

SpellForce 3 is good, but managing your workers gets annoying. I miss the good old days of just throwing dozens of workers towards the mines, crystals, deposits, forests and building without a care. I was really hoping that a gameplay mod would come out for it to give it a Warcraft spin.

Sony really should have evolved DriveClub into a game to compete with Horizon. With a big focus on online and social features, it would perfectly fit into an open world game.

See, this article states "Of All Time".

The PS3 is easily the best value console of all time. It cost $800+ to manufacture but was sold for $500 and $600 at launch. Sold at a loss so that Bluray had an extra push. On top of being the cheapest, and best Bluray player for years, it was all around a state of the art box with its CPU, RAM configuration, every box including a HDD, and Bluray inclusion. Though, it definitely lacked on the media functionality since they ...
