What these publishers/developers need to do if they want to sell more games is, COD for example is heavily focused on Multiplayer. So they should make the campaign about 7 hrs or so and release 2 copies of the game. One with limited online play less maps, weapons, upgrades so on and charge $44.99. And a full version at $59.99 with download code inside to unlock all maps and what not missing in stripped down version.
Used games aren't the problem. A short campaign is. I don't want to spend $60 pre tax on a game with 7 hours of gameplay, sure there's multiplayer but i prefer single player even in FPS. I would never buy BF4, Killzone SF, COD if they were only multiplayer games. The campaign is what get's you interested in the game for the most part. Besides it's not like Gamestop is selling used games at a steal. They are crooks and never understood how people are willing to pay 54.99 fo...
Also aren't Xbox fans still waiting to hang out with Milo, Scan a skateboard into the game and so forth. All a gimmick on stage until you can do it yourself.
PS4 on paper is more powerful and has the advantage in the RAM department. AS for Xbone being more advanced well that is something we have to wait and see. Voice control isn't as reliable or advanced as we'd like it to be. And Kinect is advanced not Xbox One. Sony has PS Eye which could possibly do all the motion controls and what not but they were right in focusing on a gaming machine and not a tv, dance machine.
That extra $100 will matter to parents when they are doing their Xmas shopping. As for gamers well depends. If PS4 was 499 i would still get it but only at a place that allows me to drop a deposit and pay it off till release kinda like Gamestop is doing. But hard to compare PS3 extra $200 with Xbone when all you get is Kinect for extra cash. PS3 gave us Bluray, Bluetooth controllers, wireless controllers, 4 USB ports and card readers, BC with PS2 and some PS1 games, removable HDD, built in WI...
This is the problem. Same with music. How come Itunes songs are $1 each but best buy sells the CD for $10 regardless if it has 13 songs. And with digital there is no manufac cost and distribution cost so why still charge full price? Greedy pricks. Ill stick to physical. Last thing i need is for a hacker to wipe out all PS4 or Xbox servers and we lose all our games and no one knows what we had. Less likely that someone will break in your house.
No way then you would have people in costumes and masks robbing people. Can you describe the person sir? " Fucking Batman stole my PS4!"
Why are there articles coming out talking about how "you're wrong article from last week, Xbox does play used games!" Idiots. News just broke today! When someone writes an article TODAY and moving forward still claiming no Used games/always online then ok.
Well that is where you are wrong. It was MS dbags as well or did you miss the part where PS4 was outselling the Xbone by a significant margin. If Xbox "fans" didn't care then why weren't they ordering the Xbone?
Why couldn't they keep all the features and only those who wish to have the 24hr check in by signing a agreement can do so while everyone else who wishes to play offline dont have it. Or shit its 2013 why can't you have check in and play offline.
Hm wonder if its because of supply or a fuck you to MS for the prior restrictions. The Gamestop by my house Palmdale. Said Xbone sold out while PS4 was available when i was preordering my PS4. I was 27 on list of 28. Not sure about Xbone. Maybe 10? Also heard Best Buy here sold out of 300 PS4 and 300 Xbones not sure how true that is though.
Article is dumb. Seriously you're gonna talk shit about what Fallon said days before MS announced they caved to the pressure? Dumb ass writer. As Fallon could see into the future. Why not say Uh hey Nelson you moron your system does support offline play and used games, how could you not know that working for MS?
I bet you won't see shit about the cloud until 2015-2016. Just a gimmick to get ppl to buy the console. Also if the game looks amazing because its being processed in the cloud and 4x the Xbone power, what happens when the servers crash? Does the game stop? Or if the CPU takes over how bad will the game look since it just lost 4x the power. Good luck with that. Having 24mps internet at the moment and over WIFI i still have trouble streaming HD. This will all work once we all have GOOGLE FI...
What is never answered even by Nelson was why the hell my console needs to be online for offline single player mode? I understand the online crap to update your library and what not but why for single player? What to tell my friends i earned a trophy?
People need to stop worrying about the NSA. Do you really think they give a shit about you and your conversation about which game is best? How you saw a hot chick the other day? They are only listening in on actual calls that may lead to a terror attack or something along those lines. As for Kinect watching you well just cover it, webcams do the same as well as your front facing cam on cell phone. Just don't know it.
Only $50? Should it be more? Aus makes way more money than US. So the price is set to what they make. Just like here in US Minimum wage goes up and so does prices on everything.
I saw them and got the free beer. But still come off as a christian organization with the god bless u every time i walked by. To me a Game Church wouldn't worship Jesus they would have game gods and game lingo.
He meant not having to pay to watch Netflix when you already pay for Netflix. That is MS way of doing business. PS4 doesn't require you to pay to watch paid services. And @4show
Yes most said they would never pay to play online as i did but in this case we are not just paying to play online we are getting free games and other crap. Unlike Xbox Live. With MS in order to watch Netflix on Xbox 360/One you have to pay for Netflix, Pay for Internet & Pay MS for Xbox Live to Allow y...
@shoddy
The Last of Us is still available on Ebay through the Newegg store for $45.
Problem is greed drives most of these companies. So a discount version of a digital game won't be happening. Look at music. Itunes charges $1 per song and sometimes comes out to more than Best Buy sells the CD for. There is no manufacturing and distribution involved yet they feel they can charge full price. Digital won't take off unless we are guaranteed our investments will be protected. Imagine you have 30 games all digital and MS or Sony are hacked and all accounts are wiped. There...
