Konami is doing software-wize what Nintendo did hardware-wise with the Wii. They both slowly grew more and more irrelevant in their respective markets and were forced to create a new market for themselves in order to survive. Both will be financially stable, but it's sad to see the shape Konami is in right now.
How is it a good representation of the video games when the game revolves around stealth?
Sony promoted GT5 by using PGR3 screenshots on two separate occasions before the game released. What were you doing at Sony anyways, making Betamax players?
Hardly jumping the gun when Konami originally said both were upgraded to 1080p. Why did they backtrack? Why say it in the first place? Will they optimize to 1080p in an update if they are that close? Why are you here? You claim to wait to pass judgement until a product gets released but you are you assuming cloud won't work on Crackdown 3? You know you're being a hypocrite when you contradict yourself like that?
Why was there ever any confusion over used games? It always played used games. Read the article, the author even contradicts himself when listing "no used games" as a problem. The reality is that media perception was the problem.
It was required that the disc was in for authentication, just like systems do now, or it would give you an option to buy the digital copy if it wasn't in the machine. There was also going to be an option for developers, at their discre...
Totally agree about OR being the better choice, but I wanted to elaborate some of your points.
If a game isn't native 60fps, Morpheus has to rely on frame interpolation to improve frame rate, but I assume that's what you mean by "pumping". I believe it's going to be one or the other though, not both.
MS will be using Irides to handle any latency issues, and other aspects of the cloud to run native framerates, which means vr/ar will work ...
Just like the trailers mom used to make when I was a kid... those were the days. /sigh
Yes. I'm glad someone realizes what the author is doing here. XB1 is clearly about great 1st party this holiday, it's the author who's putting unnecessary spin on things by outright ignoring it.
Well Said.
When risks can afforded they should be taken, because without risk there is never anything new being created within the industry. When risks can't afford to be taken then make a PS4, because money becomes more important than innovation if you want your company to stay in business more than a few more years.
I promise you, it is. You've just got all those pesky clouds in the way all the time. ;b
I knew Batman had a lot of gadgets, but a sippie-cup? I'd have thought he would've graduated to a Thermos by now...
I would take a look at Irides if you have concerns over latency issues or limited bandwidth. It ws built for AR/VR, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't also work to predict other things like physics with a little modification.
Seriously, you're complaining that Nintendo makes mediocre games and that CRASH is better??? The only reason Nintendo is still in business IS their games! Anyways...
Banjo had funny characters, great level design, interesting abilities, and was easily more fun than SM64, which felt more like a tech demo. SM64 also loses points for its tease at the end by showing you Yoshi, but giving you 100 guys instead. I was like, "OMG, I get to ride Yoshi! Wait... really? WTF d...
XanderXane, we all know what you meant but it's R2-D2, lol.
I think the console is really cool(as an Xbox fan I chuckled at the fact that Sony is using the Dark side of the Force), but I agree the controller is really ugly. The controller should have had red sticks and red/black buttons.
As for the asthetics compared to the 360 version SW bundle, the PS4 bundle is more subtle/sleek while the 360 version was more playful, but they're both really cool. ...
@ The moderators on this site.
MightyNoX, calls Xbox the 180, swears, and gets a Well Said bubble? Yeah, there's no bias here at all, I must have been making all of that up when I talked to you last. Way to keep it real, N4G... real dumb.
Maybe you could make the rumble external to keep her "entertained" while she learns how to play?

It's streaming UP TO 1080p/60, with HEVC. Did I really have to spell it out for you? FYI, I'll be doing just that with Halo 5, Forza 6, and Gears, amongst others. How's your badly compressed, 540p remote play working out for you anyways? Truthfully, even if the game I stream is only 720/30, it still streams at its native resolution, which is something sony not only can't do, but won't LET you do without buying an otherwise useless Vita to do it with....
If it is so popular that it's considered a culture wouldn't more games, not less, be supporting it? How many game franchises were couch play last gen, like a dozen or two?
My son is 6, and loves Halo, but I understand why it isn't local coop. Maybe they'll patch it in later if enough people complain.
Recreate it in Battlefield?
There is NO SUCH THING as 2nd party software! The term is colloquial and was made up by the media to describe games made by a developer who is independent of the publisher (see Wikipeda). If the IP is owned and published by MS, it is 1st party regardless of the developer. This includes games like Scalebound and Quantum Break. Games like Tomb Raider are third party because SE still owns the IP that MS is publishing.
Again, there is no such thing as 2nd party. With that cleared...
