You couldn't even call it fake backwards compatibility. It's straight up not backwards compatible. I really can't see the benefit, it can't make the games better, it's just an HDMI connection, it might have a UI overlay that could do extra things with an update, maybe, but I doubt it. I'd like to see the benefit of this, otherwise it's just a "look what you can do" kinda of deal with no real impact, or improvement.
What rest of the summer? They'll all be gone before the end. My GameStop reached it's max on pre-orders within an hour of the conference ending.
We were told by a guy who works at GameStop that the PS4 is being pre-ordered* (not selling) more than the Xbox One. We don't know if it was just that store, or the entire retail chain. With early data we have no intention of showing you we have come to the conclusion it's pre-ordering* (again not selling) better. We've reached out to GameStop for further clarification on basic questions and decent journalist worth his salt would have asked in the first place.
We...
So you like it when a site does exactly what it's not supposed to do? And worst of stir up hate for the videos competitor? It's flame bait, it's a troll. The video was great but the pointless article is exactly that. The first time this was posted it was news, in a sense. Now it's just pointless YouTube stats. Should I be posting how many views the Xbox conference had? How about Nyan Cat? No? Those aren't utterly pointless things to call news? You clearly don't know wh...
"don't know what the final policies are.". What? Seriously? Microsoft can't even be straight with the developers? What the hell is this shenanigans. I don't understand why they would implement something that nobody has a clue how it EXACTLY works. Come on Microsoft, I want to play your games, but I'd like to see what the plan is with this thing first.
Hypothetical here. If, lets say, Call of Duty: Ghosts runs at 60 frames per second on the PS4, and 60 frames per second on the Xbox One, which one runs at a higher frames per second? Oh that's right, they're the same. That's about as silly as a pound of lead weighing more than a pound of feathers. The only version of a game that would ever get a higher frame rate is a PC version of a very demanding game, compared to a console version. IE Battlefield 3 on the PC, VS the PS3, and 36...
It's the game that matters, not the graphics. When did graphics matter? Sure they're nice, but it's all about gameplay. I would rather have both versions be functional than be pretty.
Ok, but why would I do that? What's the advantage? Don't tell me I can just so I can say I did it, it's rather pointless. Will it bolster 360 games somehow? Will it give the 360 the X1 UI? What's the bonus besides freeing up an HDMI port in my TV? I can already see the "You can play an Xbox, in an Xbox, in an Xbox, Xbox-inception!" Memes.
CaEsAr beat me to the meme, I knew it would happen.
This isn't news. Hilarious video, but this particular article is not news, not even close.
Spoken like a true fanboy. It was a great game, so sorry it couldn't be a generic FPS. It tried something new with it's combat, and story telling. since when was that bad? May something have mercy on that ignorant mind.
Well thank you Sherlock for pointing out that shocking revelation.
Back on topic here.
It's a good thing the saves can transfer, didn't seem like too hard of a project, the hardware is fairly similar after all.
Looks good. Seems EA's turned a new leaf for this generation. But I guess anyone would with their flagship title. Regardless of incentive to get it right I'm very happy that they're taking the time to give us a full title. I'm impressed EA, keep up the good attitude.
It's preference fanboy. I found the 360 controller more comfortable, while being the best for shooters. At the same time the DS3 was by far the best for platformers, fighters, and pretty much anything that wasn't in the FPS category. They both had ups and downs. The weight in the DS3 was horrid, it was just too light. The 360 controller had the worst D-pad ever conceived. I could go on and on about each others pros, and cons, but it is ENTIRELY personal preference. Not to mention, whe...
If it was real a title that big at E3 would have leaked already.
This is also Amazon, not every other retailer hosting pre-orders. I want them both to do well, competition brings out the best games.
Go and get the trilogy collection for the PS3 if you have one. They really knew how to stuff content into games back in the day, some of my all time favorites for sure.
Good to hear. Layouts for UI in console games need much improvement, I was a little disappointed to heat both next gen controllers wouldn't have any extra buttons for mapping. Would have been nice, but I'll take what I can get.
My only complaint was the menu layouts, other than that it's a solid game, and it looks like all improvements so far. 36 different endings sounds good, will be interesting to see how different they are. Way to put Bioware to more shame, CD, nice work.
Ironic that you're waiting so you don't have to wait.
Well they sold me on the 360, and the Xbox One definitely has a lot of attractive titles. It's just this DRM, it really doesn't effect me but we still don't know exactly what it does. If developers are missing out clearly there's something big they're not telling us. It's odd even by Microsoft standards, usually if they try to screw you it's really obvious, and up front. Here it's going both ways, screws some people, doesn't screw others, and at the same ti...
