As a huge PS3 fan and PS4 owner since launch, I am considering the Xbox One as my primary console. Of course I have PC so the whole cross platform thing won't have any effect for me at all. But if the cross platform games are console exclusive, say not available on PC, I probably would shoot for the Xbox One version mainly because that is the console I am now investing in.
This could change as this generation rolls on, but early on the Xbox One feels more like the better ...
If they make a vastly improved Knack game, it would be something to look forward to. Didn't like the first game, but the concept had lots of potential that a proper Knack 2 could deliver.
"When you have better exclusives,...better controller, better subscription service"
Don't know about these being facts.
"If Microsoft want to move their dead console they're going to have to start investing in new IP's and releasing games people actually want to play, not keep re - releasing the same cheap, tired, worn - out garbage like Halo, Gears, Forza and Fable."
That's exactly what they're doing. ...
Knowing NIS, it will.
My brain just died reading your comment...
Good games like AC4, Far Cry 3, and Rayman Origins, for example, have nothing to do with AC: Unity being a broken game on release. There is no shortage of games broken on release and remain broken after gigabytes worth of patches.
If you're a frequent game buyer such as I am, there are so many broken games you can stand. Why jump through all these hoops to play a game when you can just buy a damn game and play it with little issue? Never mind, that is too good to be true....
"its unforgivable only if you cannot do anything about it."
It's unforgivable to release a shoddy product that ends up wasting everyone's time (publishers, developers, retailers, and gamers alike) instead of a working game that gamers can enjoy. We can't let this slide if we don't want this to define the future of major game releases.
If readers find typos in every second page of a major book release, you can expect public outrage an...
Already got it, but if you haven't played any of the Sly games, this is a perfect steal. Sly 4 for PS3/Vita is really good too but try this first.
Ports of games usually have different teams than developers of the actual games. Still, a company can rake in more money from a port than a new game. Either way, the risk factor is much less, and the reward is usually much higher per dollar and hour spent.
If a significant portion of a company's revenue comes from ports/remasters, then that's where the money is and developers of new games/IPs are at risk of being laid off. As it looks, expect this generation to be the...
".......did it ever occur to you that Square isn't marketing to you but to those that didn't play it?"
How many people who would want to play the game have never played it? 3? You can get the original FF13 for like less than ten bucks on PS3/360.
"The team Square uses to port DOESN'T CREATE GAMES!"
If these ports/remasters rake in more money than new games, companies are likely going to create less new games and more ports. Developers will be laid off, as the products they're hired for don't return the same money a port would. After all, most new games nowadays are very expensive. Ports require far less money and time, but potentially return the same revenue if not more.
But this...
This isn't really a problem for most people by your logic. Still, I don't like this move, but it probably isn't worth going up in arms over. PC just isn't known for region lock.
Well, that is a stupid move.
We probably don't, actually. Most of the SquareSoft developers that would make a competent remake are pretty much gone. Why slap on a port of the PC version and call it a day if SquareEnix is confident in pulling a proper remake?
Unless it will blow me away, which is something Square-Enix has never once did since the merge, I don't need a FF7 HD.
"Or Microsoft had...a more fleshed out AAA holiday lineup?"
That is what I expected the PS4 to have by now. I was excited for inFamous, and it was decent-good, but it was only a shadow of its Cole-era predecessors. The graphics are pretty, though.
I expected KZ SF to be as good as KZ3. Nope, it wasn't. The graphics are pretty, though.
Then I was sure DriveClub will be amazing. How can the developers behind Motorstorm really scre...
As someone who used to be a total PS4 fanboy during E3 2013, I have no idea.
If Sony isn't going to make it out of their financial disaster, the PlayStation division will need to be separated as a spinoff, or sold to another mega corporation.
The Witcher 3 is no Zelda, either. Both are completely different games from completely different genres.
I really hope this doesn't slide with Ubisoft just because they released a handful of good indie-quality games and one really good AAA game this year. This will never help the industry progress forward in terms of reasonably stable games. Instead, all cheap excuses can do is encourage more broken on launch games, which we've already have more than enough this generation's first year alone.
Then again, why bother releasing a reasonably working game when you have t...
