Although I agree whole heartedly, the hypocrisy is real. Not from you as an individual but in the general sense.
The fact is the Xbox One could run every game at 1080p as could the PlayStation 4 if developers chose too, but at what cost to performance?
Its a real kick in the balls for fans of the series, realistically we have been waiting since Rainbow Six Vegas for a true sequel, not the mickey mouse Vegas 1.1 that was Vegas 2, that whole game should have been sold as DLC add on.
Now this f%king micro transaction nonsense, it makes my blood boil.
Daylight robbery. This is perhaps the only instance when I would like to see a game fail, assuming that said failure would give EA enough of a kick up the ass to stop their bend over a barrel pricing practices.
Developers, for some reason unbeknown to myself have for the most part been quite poor at implementing anti aliasing in current generation games. The only stand out examples I've seen so far are Destiny, The Order and Metro. I'm not the biggest graphics whore but aliasing does irritate me and lets down alot of otherwise great looking games.
I'll likely put money towards a gaming pc to side step the issue.
I would say yes, Halo will dissapoint but ...
I believe the biggest issue in my eyes is taking a beloved and long since missed series and then blatantly flogging its namesake to Kingdom come with ridiculously priced DLC editions.
Then the previews and beta players talk about how wildly unbalanced the game is, it doesn't come across as particularly well intentioned.
Yes, thankfully EA removed their pathetic online pass system for used games but its often one step forwards and then two backwards with t...
Lol have you seen how battlefield ran last generation? Not to mention Wolfenstein, Forza Horizon 2 and any other cross over titles.
Those machines well and truly had their day, technically they may have been able to upscale to 1080p but the lighting, draw distances, texture mapping and polygon counts were really suffering.
I think if they're implemented in an intelligent fashion then they can be good. Perhaps the best example in my mind is Resident Evil Revelations 2, I remember I paid for all the episodes and bonus content for a perfectly reasonable price and was very happy.
Largely I just hit up the Raid Mode which I love, the ability to buy extra weapon storage space etc for a couple of pounds seemed fine to me as the original limits were already quite generous. Maybe I brought an extra ...
Da fuq. That was disturbing.
Its pathetic as if every news4gamers poster has a 200hz 60 inch 4k hdtv. If I did it would be driven by a few thousand pounds worth of gaming pc not an Xbox or PlayStation.
The funny thing is I play Battlefield 4 on my Xbox at 720p by choice and I'll be damned if it doesn't look and run better on my 1080p 32 inch led TV.
Cod is one of those strange things, I have been losing interest over the years but hand on heart I believe every major release since Call of Duty 2 has been of a very high quality.
With the exception of Ghosts. I would like to see them sit it on the bench now though for a few years and really come back with something great.
Define not many. I can get matches online on Xbox One anytime with a huge variety of different players. That suits me just fine.
Personally I've not seen a single Star Wars film from beginning to end ever. I've nothing against the series, it just doesn't appeal to me. Unless SW Battlefront was somehow better than Battlefield 4, which for me could just be my favourite online shooter to date then its highly unlikely that I would buy it at all.
Maybe it had more relevance then and was a remarkable feat given that around 157 people owned the original Xbox. Times change, everything changes, that my friend is life.
One comment or quote rarely becomes cemented infinitely for all time with immediate relevance, how could it?
And it's not like EA rush out games early at full price with 50 DLC packs ready before the game is even finished. Oh noes hang onna second...
Funny how Destiny could run at 1080p and is a truly stunning game not to mention others running at 1080p or significantly higher than 720p. Battlefield 4 launching at 720p was understandable when the Dev kits were nonsense, it still looks great.
Anything at 720p in the years to follow though is laziness, the Metro d...
Because they're all on ten year contracts and get paid regardless? Haha, I jest. Now here's a thought successor to Xbox One becomes Xbox Two up against PlayStation 5? Rofl a marketer's nightmare if ever I saw one.
Method Man, oh snap.
Alan Wake was absolutely worth the wait in my eyes. In a few weeks I'll be building a half decent pc for my steam collection and look forward to thrashing through it again with the visuals jacked up. Really stoked for Quantum Break.
It's no secret that the PlayStation 2 sold faster than crack out of Colombia during Pablo Escobar's heyday. I am not denying, obscuring that most well known of facts.
Perhaps you should think more about an original sign off as opposed to literally copying and pasting mine. Imitation is believed by some to be the sincerest Form of flattery so I guess I have at least one confirmed fan haha.
PS2 came out hot off the heels of the extremely serviceable PS1...
I didn't say that the PlayStation 4 was lacking or compare it to the original Xbox. What I did do was consider that the raw bhp if you will, of a machine did not determine it's fate.
The thing I've never understood though is why they don't use 45 or 50fps? Like on my pc I can cap lots of newer games allowing my hardware to find the sweetspot between graphical fidelity and controller latency.
