I'm afraid you might be right, Crimzon.
The Batmobile has me very worried.
I think one of their biggest problems is that they are convinced that they aren't competing against the Xbox or Playstation.
They see themselves as their own thing, separate from those two.
The problem lies in the fact that NOBODY ELSE sees them that way.
They can be different all they way, but all the players are still going to make a direct comparison.
I don't ever deny that PS4 has any games, but aren't myself and others entitled to the opinions that we aren't interested in those games?
You guys get to blab all day long about how you don't care about Gears or Forza or Halo, but nobody is allowed to be disinterested in Playstation titles?
There is one thing about this whole deal that doesn't make any sense to me at all.
I don't understand how anyone thinks they are going to make money off of this project.
Whether the kickstarter is gauging interest, or whatever, they are basically selling pre-orders for 29 dollars. Less than half the price of a typical retail game release. They are up over a few million already, but from what I understand, the last game took something like 50 million...
For me it was just because they only showed one enemy, and it was a monster, not a locust or whatever will normally be shooting at us.
The people that are focused on Mass Effect not running well on Xbox One seem to forget the fact that it ran like dogcrap on the 360 in the first place.
Mass Effect was a great game, but from a performance standpoint it was quite possibly the worst performing game on the 360. The framerate was generally terrible, texture pop in was awful, and the load times were ridiculous.
I played a very small amount of it on my XB1 the first night BC went live, and it seem...
Was it really an option, when you had two choices, and one of them was to follow the truck and get shot up?
I'm not trying to defend the Tomb Raider demo, by the way. I honestly didn't even watch it that close because I'm not a Tomb Raider fan.
I was just commenting on that one particular part of the UC4 trailer that seemed to go on longer than necessary.
I agree in regards to Gears.
I was excited to just to see it, but what they showed was disappointing.
I agree.
UC4 looked really good but that driving section went on doing the same thing for WAY too long.
The truck showed up again! There is another fork in the road! Again. And again. And again.
Keep in mind, Sony or not, Kickstarter can't guarantee that you even get anything that you pledge for.
I've backed 4 projects on kickstarter. Two of them I received (late), the other two are years behind schedule and no longer giving regular updates. I'm out about 850 bucks.
I would think it would be safe to assume that sort of thing wouldn't happen in this case, but I'm just saying there are no guarantees, and I'll never give anothe...
Spid3r6, I agree totally.
I personally don't care about FF7, but it was implied that was a timed exclusive.
Second, Shenmue seems like a niche title that is super relevant amongst the hardest of the hardcore, but means nothing to the masses. For the record, I'm as hardcore as they come but I never played the first 2 and don't even know what kind of games they are. Plus it is a Kickstarter, so they haven't even started the game yet.
...
I was texting with all my gaming friends during the Sony conference, and even the ones that switched to PS4 this gen thought their show was terrible.
I knew that N4G would be delusional about it, but I never expected this.
And yes, WakeNBake, you said it best. The Shenmue thing was probably the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen at a professional trade show. Advertising a kickstarter, then humiliating the game designer by parading him out to use his...
Yes. It is just like operating a 360 within your Xbox One.
When you launch a 360 game you even get the 360 splash screen that the console shows when it boots up.
You can even bring up the 360 guide by pressing the menu and view buttons at the same time.
It's pretty sweet, honestly.
Click Bait or no, they do complain about the one thing that has me the most worried about the game. The Batmobile.
I have been firmly in the camp that adding it was unnecessary since day one.
I still think that Arkham Asylum, where you were more closely confined for the entirety of the game, is still the best of the series.
I don't think this game will be bad by any means, and I fully intend to get it, but I'm not looking forward to...
I love games. I just don't like the games you like, apparently.
Sorry.
I don't like Final Fantasy. Never played Shenmue. And the Last Guardian, which I've been anxious to see, looked like turds.
I like going back and replaying my favorite games.
I'm playing Fallout: New Vegas again right now. The Fallout 4 reveal made me want to get it out again.
After that, I might do Fallout 3 again, not sure.
It's not at all uncommon for me to do that with old games. I usually get out my favorites and replay them every couple years at least.
So I'm loving this. I will get to replay them without having to switch cons...
Do people actually use Keyboard and Mouse for a fighting game?
That seems like it would terrible.
I don't know about your games, but I'm pretty sure my copy of Halo 5 and Gears Ultimate Edition will continue to work all year long, not just during the holidays.
There are multiplat games coming out all times of the years. I don't live and die by Microsoft exclusives.
I always have something to play. I don't get that line of thinking at all.
This has to just be clickbait, right?
I mean, how can anyone possibly take this as anything but a good thing?
Yes, that is what worries me.
I'd love to have a bunch of old 360 games playable on the XB1, but I'm not holding my breath for "everything" to be made available.
