I hope 'could' implies that perhaps the system will require always on, versus 'could' as in the always on may dampen gaming.
Always on is a disgusting greedy ploy and gamers not uniting to defeat the aspect when alterntatives exist is simply unacceptable and naive.
Forcing everyone to pay for their internet again is the most insane business model in history.
Microsoft's gaming division is dead and buried on arrival.
Yeah, but PS4 won't have Halo or Han Solo dancing to Britney Spears!
Stupid SONY fanboys. You guys dont get to keep your system online and move your living room around when you want to play Justin Beiber games.
I think everything Microsoft currently does is crappy, except WP8. I really do think WP8 is the best mobile OS.
Their PC os is crappy though. W8 is not a peerfect fit for tablets and pcs. They have essentially taken a dump on their xbox supporters by turning it into a camera game console. They have a history of doing this though. They build their base, then drop all the support for that base. It's just business.
Microsoft will stay around for many...
Yeah but fruit samurais and angry birds are lame. I dont think NVidia 'gets it'. Thank goodness their hardware didn't make my future console. Mobile devices? Really? Go cry into a beer, will ya.
Microsoft is fine tuning it.
They're making sure that Justin Beebers and Britney Spears look their best when the games come out for it. No one wants to move their furniture around to play an inferior looking dance game.
I too hope next gen is better of course, but this gen had some rock solid titles.
Heavy Rain, Dante's Inferno, every God of War game, Ass Creed games, MAG, Batman games, Darksiders 1&2, Dark and Demons' Souls, etc......
This gen really did kick some ass. If one could pry themself away from the COD fad, they would see all the amazing games.
This just isn't even debatable any longer.
If you love real videogames for adults,with the best controller and best graphics for a console then you go with SONY.
If you like more kiddie games any the same regurgitated games for decades, @ a low price you go w/ Nintendo.
If you like getting nickle and dimed for you internet connection you already pay for, want to move your furniture around to see Justin Beebers and Han Solo dance, then you...
PC gamers are like wine tasters.
Every single one swears they're an expert, and they speak as if they are in possession of some esoteric knowledge. It's absurd at this point.
Spouting off about specs means nothing. We aren't playing specs, and we certainly aren't gaming on your uber cool 2k dollar rig.
Sometimes the cheap wine actually tastes better. Ie....the games on consoles are indeed better than PC games. If PC was the best op...
Anything relating to Force Unleahes series has to forget everything else, and solely address the disgusting ripoff that these games are.
Any game which has 4 hrs of gameplay is a POS. It doesn't matter who is in the game. If it's over in a few hours then you got ripped off and the game sux.
This is great news for Sony lovers.
The worse the PS3 architecture was, the better the PS4 will be.
The PS3 was a developers nightmare and it still pumped out the best exclusives and sold more consoles than it's main rival, when it appeared late to the party even.
The PS4 is going to be so beast. We all know it. Learning from their mistakes Sony is.
Ill continue to rent games and return them when Im done. I will only buy the huge multiplayer titles that interest me due to lasting appeal.
BC is a non issue to me, because I do not hoard titles I am done with. Insert game, play game, finish game, return game.
Gamefly alone purchases thousands of games for their install base, which is probably in the millions by now.
No one ever takes this into account. Not having Gamefly purchase your titles in bulk, hurts.
Not playing used games would be a catastrophe to that company, if their rival continues to play used games. This is not even remotely debatable.
I don't think anyone would disgaree with this sentiment. PC hardware evolves as an open entity to anyone willing to pay. The games on their max settings look beautiful and their evolution is at least 3 fold as compared to console games which are static for that gens duration pretty much.
I think everyone pretty much knows this. The thing is........we all have PCs obviously, but we mostly decide to not game on them because PC gaming comes w/ a host of caveats along w/ t...
Ive already played Golden Abyss over a year ago.
Those cameras cost the taxpayers 25k for each intersection.
What a waste. Ppl are hungry and we use public funds for cameras.
Least we get Watchdogs out of it!
The future looks awesome, but Im still content playing games from my childhood in the Capcom Arcade Cabinet.
Let the war progress like it always does. Hell, it never ended really. It's not a new war per se, but a new battle.
I honestly don't know why I keep seeing comments about the 'bad camera angles'. Just press R. That's what the button does.
The frame rate did drop a few times during my playthrough, but overall the game was great. 8.5/10
Same rules apply to new consoles as they do to beer and Star Wars movies.
Always more.
Microsoft has always been about giving you the very least while charging you the most they can, when it comes to their gaming division. If true, this new aspect they're instituting is crossing the line.
It's not about how they will hurt their business model at all. It's actually throwing a grenade at what they've worked so hard at creating. I see absolutely no way at all possible, that the system even survives, let alone thrive. This is really a death de...
