But will this result in a bias towards the XB1? Sounds strange for non-Microsoft staff to be pushing for MS products. Unless there is a money incentive for every box sold..
Scant consolation, my friend. But we can wait.
It will only really hurt if the XB1 releases on the 15th in Europe. Those will be 2 weeks of torture and not-so friendly banter!
Lets get the last piece of business out of the way - The XB1 release date!
Then we can all get on with our lives and play great next gen quality at Christmas..
So Microsoft were not genuine in their support of Indie Games? There's a surprise!
I feel a major firmware update for the Vita coming soon!
Is this normal? Or they so scared their product is not good enough to sell itself?
Microsoft will spend millions on adverts weeks leading up. We will all end up believing it is the only product shipping.
So November 15th in the UK? That's 2 weeks before the PS4. A lot of damage can be done in that time. Lets see if Sony actually advertise this time around!
".. We have a digital agreement; we can make simultaneous updates on PC and PS4. That means there will be a lot of players playing from day one. They will be on PC but [playing] with PS4 players. This is one thing. The second is that PS4 is so powerful, and the architecture is similar to PC, so it’s much easier to maintain simultaneous updates.."
".. No cross-platform is allowed on Xbox. Cross-platform multiplayer. So the Xbox One ecosystem will be small at the...
Never happened to me and I have been with them for years since they were the first to offer 2 and 4 meg.
By far the fastest and best UK national broadband. Virgin are pushing the other ISPs to get better broadband. They make the UK seem great compared to most countries. They do not get such great speeds in the US!
And was it implemented, NO!
Go gamers. We won! Do not let fanboys destroy what ALL gamers did this summer!
Wow! A control freak!
An amazing revolution happened this summer in the gaming industry. Microsoft and EA were all set to inforce their police-state controls on us gamers. It was all but a done deal. Who could fight the force of these two massive corporations?
GAMERS! + Sony!
Sony could of easily followed suit then it would of been game over. But they went against the trend and stuck to a little known phrase called PRINCIPLES. And do you know...
We can all agree on that!
Sony base their strategy on their own predictions not what MS is doing. Now they have announced I believe they will stick with those dates.
We do not want the gaming industry to become a farce.
Microsoft have to deliver in November. They gave this info out months ago which has backed themselves into a corner. If they are having problems they may well do the US in November and the others in December.
Remember Sony are pushing the US and Canada...
You could be on to something. It would explain the free gift of Fifa 2014 for us Europeans.
Something tells me Sony knew of Microsoft's release plans.
Lets just hope they release when the system is fully tested and 100%. Gamers do not deserve sloppy hardware again!
Ha!Ha! Gotta love these articles.
If you get a XB1 you will be glad you get a new next gen console that is way above what came before.
If you get a PS4 you will be glad you get a next gen console where you no longer have to put up with lame multi-platform games looking better on other consoles.
So according to this. Only pre-orders in the European countries in the list of 13 get this game? Microsoft said all European pre-orders. That is a massive slight of hand - if true.
In the other countries now left out you get 2 games not yet announced if you pre-ordered before August 20th or else you get jack.
My understanding was that ALL European pre-orders would get this game regardless of when they pre-ordered.
This needs confirmation beca...
You can understand DICE being peeved at MS for not releasing the XB1 in Sweden but they will still do a great XB1 version.
Will the PS4 version be better? Lets wait and see. Just how we quantify these things will be another matter. It will also depend on what screen you have.
We may all have to upgrade our TVs/Monitors if we have not already done so in the past 18 months.
If you read the article it quotes an AMD source saying PS4 does use it. We can all safely assume it does.
The XB1 may not use it. Therefore the PS4 will have some extra source on top like we all suspect it does.
Lets see what developers do with both consoles. They are both way above current gen so we can all enjoy the benefits. Microsoft will have the snazzy OS's and software integration and the hardware giant Sony will have the edge on grunt.
<...
It actually quotes a source saying it is used in PS4. Maybe he never read the article...
You are probably right. Sony had the wrong attitude last time. This gen they are on the money. Everything they have done seems to benefit the gamers and developers. We are in it together for the first time ever!
Microsoft are suffering the 3rd Console Curse. Their attitude stinks. Sure there have been back-tracks but the intent was there. Hope they learn their lessons..
On Amazon.co.uk the 16GB card is now £25. I paid £39 2 months ago. The 64GB card has gone up but I believe low stock is the problem.
