They just don't give a shit about areas that aren't major profit centers. There's simply no way they can dominate this generation while simultaneously writing off so much of the world's population. China and India have massive populations and it is not hyperbole to say that millions of people move to the middle class in those country's every year and they're completely excluded. MS isn't forward thinking at all.
I was told by a GS employee that they will not have their used game trade in system ready by the time the X1 launches. Now, given that GS is the largest used game retailer, I take it to mean that MS hasn't figured it out how to implement it.
ed up so many things with the X1. I get that hubris seems to be rampant with every console maker's third console but they've have gone above and beyond any other console maker.
Do you really think multi-billion dollar corporations psych each other out? That they simply react like mindless zombies? That article is pure drivel, at best it is a poor editorial piece. It doesn't take a genius to see why Sony is kicking butt right now.
I don't see the no disc thing as anything more than a useless convenience. Are people seriously so lazy they can't walk to their console and switch games, if so then I don't even know what to say to people like that.
Art of War. Yes I do believe it very possible.
I haven't seen anything, but if it uses 3.5" drives I would be amazed. I'm sure it is 2.5".
I'd put money on a very late October release. We should know soon since that's only about four months away.
They are apparently an extremely anti DRM game maker as well which I found pretty amusing while reading an article about how their own game can't be played on XBone in their own country because of DRM.
It's not like Sony can't offer the benefits of a no disk based system, if you have a digital copy and a friend wants a match and you accept it pauses the game and switches automatic, if not then it prompts you to grab the disk, if you have a disk based game in already then you won't be able to return to that game after the match and will have to save first. Little annoyances like these and competitive pricing to entice a digital purchase.. I really think Sony is really going to push digital downloads this gen to get everyone on board for what is the inevitable future. Not crowbar it in like Microsoft.
Yeah, KB is awesome. I doubt it will happen though. The lawsuit was just Sony being a dick and the actor probably isn't on good terms with Sony at this point.
You wouldn't expect to see Nathan Drake (in any shape or form) in a commercial using a Wii, would you? Sony owns the rights to the "Kevin Butler" character. Jerry Lambert used the Kevin Butler character in another commercial (using a competitor's product nontheless) without their permission.
They were being dicks because it wasn't KB. The character was just some goofy guy. Plus, it was the same actor. Tons of actors just play the same role over and over again with little to no difference.
You can do that?
Yeah but it's not like Jerry Lambert has to put on makeup or anything to look like his character Kevin Butler. And when he shows up in another commercial excited about playing the Wii, well let's just say I can see the conflict of interest. Here's the commercial:
So these are going to be launch editions as well on Amazon.
I was hoping they would have a PS4 + camera + game bundle for $500. As it is, I'm just going to pre-order the regular PS4 for $399 (plus that damn tax) and then wait a couple of weeks to see what games will be available/deals they have. The bundles aren't actually saving us any more.
Your right, but they usually set aside a specific number of consoles specifically for Bundles only. So it could be the difference between launch day or waiting for most people.
lol. what the
do you want him to do, wear a prostetic mask? he looks like kevin butler because THATS WHAT THE ACTOR LOOKS LIKE. its astonishing how Rambo and Rocky Balboa look the same! ZOMG
You mean the console itself? There are rumors floating around since someone asked the question about being able to sell their used Xbox One console and MS' response was along the lines of "We do not have any information on this right now".
No. You can't sell/trade XbOne games because they force you to register the game on your account before being able to play it and once it's registered no one else can re-register it without you losing access to the game. The 24 hr checkin is to prevent someone from selling a game that's installed then never going back online so they can "keep" the game.
The thing about that: You could sell your console with your account on it but not give out your password and they could then have that content AND you could still have it on another console so long as you're logged in when playing it.
You can sell the console. There's no way they can stop you from doing that no matter what they say. As I said in another thread, if they were able to pull that off then you wouldn't own anything - even companies making the clothes on your back would make it a "license". After all, what company wouldn't love to prevent people from reselling their products?
I put "sell/trade" cause im slightly confused about this "online only" thing. Like would gamestop be able to re-sell it? Does the system have to check in online for it to work or just for a game to play?
I guess I"m getting a bit confused about your questions now. You can completely clear your profile off the console.
Doesn't the mandatory 24 hour check-in defeat that loophole? Once they see those games attached to more than one xbox for the same account, whether with password or not, something is going to happen.
10 games in a year - that aren't also on the PS3?
The release seems to be exclusively about the PS4 and says "Out of over the 30 titles under development, 20 titles will be available within a year from the PS4 launch" so I'm guessing they're PS4 titles (or possibly, PS3 and PS4). Of course, this definitely includes download only PSN titles so that probably bolsters the number a bit.
Hold off. Unless the games go out of print, you'll most likely be able to get them cheaper at the time you actually buy a PS3. Also, I can see GS selling PS3's pretty cheap once the PS4 releases. And then there's always Gaikai, which if priced right, could result in you not even having to buy a PS3.
I'm of the mind that Sony hasn't announced yet b/c they want to go 2-4 weeks before MS. Has MS hammered down the actual date yet(officially)?
