Release Date!
That would make more sense. Cheers.
How can a game sell out when it is a digital download?
Can you download a game without Live subscription? Hope so.
It will only end when gamers refuse to buy a game because developers chose exclusivity to another console.
Only when we stick together can we change things. Look at DRM..
So is XB1 bundled free with your £429 Fifa 14 game?
Is it good business or just lazy. They would rather spend millions on exclusivity rather than have their own studios.
Just look how great the Sony studios games are. I hoped MS would change their ways this time and really support gaming.
Cut scenes look great but game play seems jerky. Good concept. There is so much scope for next gen and the Roman era be it battles, game-of-thrones type intrigue, chariot races, etc.
I agree. I hate exclusives on all sides. Just release the same game to all gamers. Shows greed and a lack of respect for their customers.
And Cod sells millions so they could afford to offer dedicated servers themselves!
Don't like exclusive deals - on either side. It is lazy and disrespectful to the fans who buy your game on another platform.
It is great for game developers who need the cash.
Is this the pre-orders before a certain date? Or all pre-orders?
Need clarification. Initially it was for those regions now not getting the XB1 in 2013 who had pre-ordered before a certain date.
If its all pre-orders then its like the stuff you get at the market that do not sell. They give extra stuff away just to shift them.
Desperation, but MS can afford it. Why don't they just buy Sony out?
Desperate times require desperate measures!
I don't like fanboy comments but that was funny.
I agree. Now is the time to show what the XB1 is actually all about. I'm confused by all the turnarounds. This should be the perfect stage.
If I had invested millions, in not billions, in a new product I would show it off at every conference. The excuse that you have nothing new to show is worrying.
Show more of the same. Lay down once and for all what your intentions are with the XB1. It does not matter that Microsoft don't normally show at Gamescom....
You do not put someone in control of something this big if they are NOT capable of presenting.
It does sound like damage limitation to me. They want to avoid any negative feedback. Does not convince me they have any faith in their product.
Surely they must think they have done enough this past few months?
They won't do a conference because they are worried they will get a bad reception. Remember the boos at E3?
If they are finally happy with their product why would you not do one? They must be worried about being in what they consider Sony territory.
Just months before your big launch is not the time to be seen to be running scared.
Agreed - who the heck cares?
I don't give a fig what people want to buy or even why. It's your money - do what you want with it. Just don't bore the pants off me telling me why!!!
Vita is great but current remote play is awful on PS3 using PSP or Vita. I use both direct wifi and internet wifi. Videos can stream really well. I loved watching HD videos on my PS3 through the PSP.
From what I understand they have built the Vita and PS4 to interact using their own super fast wifi type connection. This will combat the current lag found connecting to PS3.
I would not even try to play a PS1 game on my PSP/Vita through remote play. It is that b...
Grammar Police does not equal humour.
Humour = "A man walked into a bar...".
Do you know what "pedantic" is?
Put on a clown's outfit and spin around until you are sick.
Just because someone asks does not mean you should.
Does not bode well for your product when you have to make so many changes in public view before you even release. It makes you seem like you didn't know what you were doing in the first place.
The one thing we can see is that PS4 hit the mark in their reveal in Feb. Whereas MS were a shambles. But this is all history now. Le...
