m$ was likely waiting for sony to announce first for once so they can evaluate the date they picked for each region. my guess is m$ will be earlier now by a week or two. my guess is pre-orders for both systems are sold out and by coming out earlier you get more buzz. it will also give them a chance to have feedback released out in the wild and if feedback is positive it could help them. of course if things are crashing online and other problems exists it could be very bad.

the ps3 didn't do a very good job showing its power through multi-platform games. the ps3's success was due to exclusives, brand loyalty, making bluray arrfordable for videophiles, free online play, and having a great relationship with gamers.
the battle going forward won't really fall much on multi-plat games again either. not unless sony can pull a ps2 and go after 3rd party exclusives, which outside of japan developers is doubtful. it will be based more on pric...
its the same thing with respawn and titanfall. having m$ handle all of that means they don't have to. someone like ea has there own infrastructure but even activision is talking about xbone servers and not ps4 servers. m$ has invested billions of dollars having servers around the world to make matchmaking better. dedicated servers also make online play more fair. you dont get host advantage, can have more gamers in matches and not worry about lagging. the cloud will allow patches and upda...

don't be surprised to see the pc version delayed. m$ will no doubt try and push this game as hard as they can for the xbone. with all the positive news around this title m$ may try and secure a deal like they did with gears of war and make it more of a xbone franchise than a pc one.
IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is also a game they made. it too was a pc game that was also on the ps3 and x360. my guess is they didn't like how updates were handled by m$ and cross platform gaming. i can see the xbone improving the update policies and games like project spark will have cross platform gaming. but i think that (cross platforming) will be limited to windows and m$ policies.
really? there whole pub fund for indies is just that.

"The Pub Fund itself is an interesting sort of creativity incubator. Sony basically gives developers royalties up front so that they can fund their games. In return, Sony gets either full excl...
this is what xbox haters care more about, whether it's inferior to the ps4. not how much better the pc can be. long live the console wars.
the ps4 isn't even out yet and it's already falling behind the pc. imagine in 5 years the gap.
console enthusiasts should be happy the game is going to finally support way more players online and be 60fps. instead the focus always seems to be on the console wars even though the pc puts it all into perspective ...
whenever it comes i will be getting. that much i know.
how well a system sells after launch is whats important. look at the vita. i bet both the ps4 and xbone will sell out at launch. it is the years following that tell the whole story.
it does look like the ps4 is getting a lot more interest but m$ is still trying to shake off its bad image from the early unveiling of the xbone. over time after gamers get there hands on it and the media writes about it things could change. price is also a factor and m$ needs to show why there is...
"The camera is irrelevant."
why, because you say it is? over 20 million people bought it for the 360 and it was a lot worse. xbone owners now know it is unified with the system and will get more support.
its like saying the gamepad on the wii u is irrelevant or the bluray drive on the ps3 is irrelevant and they could have used dvd instead to keep costs down. same with wi-fi adapters.
the fact is m$ does not have to offer the same sy...
"It's the Western mentality that they introduced that created the change."
are you out to lunch? you act like m$ raped and pillaged your hometown. grow up.

fast forward to 8:30.
there was always power comparisons in consoles. the leap from 8-bit to 16-bit and so on. it was when the n64 came out using cartridges ...
"Microsoft funded the development. This is the only reason why this game was even released at all. This is my only gripe with Microsoft. Instead of using that money to invest in some first party studios and new talent, you just buy exclusives. This tells me they're not as serious as Sony and Nintendo when it comes to games."
tell us how you really feel. last i heard people play games to enjoy them, no matter where the funding came from.
is this ...
so when sony loses hundreds of dollars on each ps3 last generation it wasn't to stay relevant? when sony drops the price of vita by as much as a hundred dollars its not a desperate move? when sony offers a portion of the new game driveclub free its not a desperate move? when sony announces they are launching in the u.s and canada first and be evasive about japan its not to stay relevant? when sony offers a pub fund for indie developers in return for timed or full exclusivity it's not ...
i hope it's that fast but you have to remember, this is a controlled setting. we have no idea how long each game will take. what is factual is that it will be a lot quicker than the ps3 plus you can install the games.
if forza 5 ran at 30fps and the dev said they have a couple of months to go to try and hit 60fps sony fanboys would be all over this. we all know it.
if it doesnt hit 60 fps then it proves this game is being rushed to be a launch title.
nightsurge, bubble up!
that was probably the best explanation we will ever see here.
sony had more games this gen with dedicated servers but they were provided by them for there games. that is the discrepancy here since activision is a 3rd party. m$ are either making it very cheap or making deals with them to do everything on there end. with so many servers from m$ around the world it makes matchmaking way better and with way less latency. so if a game like c...
it will turn away trolls who will be forced to play with other trolls until they build up there reputation again. which is a good thing. if only n4g made it so sony fanboys could only communicate with other sony fanboys. same with nintendo fanboys and xbox fanboys.
"Piracy is not theft because A)You can't lose money you've never had in the first place."
that makes absolutely no sense.
"B)The original creator/owner still has the product in their possession and can do with it whatever they want. So how is it theft if no money was lost and the original owner retains all access and ownership to it?"
how do you know no money was lost? if no money is being lost why do companies li...
