There's a difference between a pissing match and a discussion about the launch of both consoles in the video game industry. Chill out duuuuude.
If it helps, the Baird in Judgment really isn't much like the annoying Baird in the Gears of War trilogy. The writers had to make changes to him to make him more likeable as a leading character. He's much less annoying and whiny in Judgment. Cole has some changes to him as well. He's slightly more reserved and not as loud and obnoxious.
good chance most of those people either know someone that works for pepsi or has access to giant bags of caps and what not.
Dead Rising wasn't a launch title. It was released nine months after launch.
I do, but yeah, I'm probably in the minority.
Meh. Much ado about nothing IMO.
I'm actually totally chill. Just tired of reading the endless back and forth, and sorry, some of that WAS borderline pissing match territory.
If any company in the world has enough money to pay off Capcom and EA to keep their games exclusive it would be Microsoft. Whether Dead Rising is worth the price for eternal exclusivity is doubtful. After a year or so it becomes completely irrelevant to have it exclusive because it's not really selling any more units and i'm sure Capcom wouldn't mind a second wind of sales for basically nothing.
"Published" holds more weight than you think. I can't think of a single game published by a platform holder that ended up being multiplatform. Anyone? Mass Effect, maybe? Last gen games published by Sony | MS | Nintendo
I'm not holding my breath if it comes out on ps4 eventually great. If not I'll buy it the bargain bin when I pick up my xbox one. If the game only exists because Microsoft paid for it completely than it's only fair that it stays an xbox one exclusive. The thing is it's kind of starting to be Microsoft's thing to pay publishers that usually publish games multiplatform to publish their games as at least timed exclusives rather than developing in house. All I'm saying is that I'm skeptical when a publisher that has traditionally published games on every platform is all of a sudden willing to turn down money that selling on another platform would provide. It's basically free money once the game is old enough to re-release it. And at that point microsoft doesn't really have any vested interest in it.
8 hours wow. I could go a month playing 2 hours a night ps3 and the controller would still have juice. Not too big of a deal since I don't play 8 hours in a row usually and bought 15 foot usb cable so I could play comfortably and charge at same time but still. I wish it used double a batteries like the xbone because i have about 15 eneloops in use throughout the house and they rule.
Agreed. I have a bunch and find it more convenient to swap those out than deal with long USB cables. So that's definitely a big +1 for the 360/x1 controllers over the ps3/4 controllers for me.
Absoultely.
Um well you haven't been paying attention because a lot has changed since E3. It's almost remarkable how similar both systems are now and how much both sides, Sony and Microsoft, have changed.
This is a special case as Capcom let people sample what they'd get with DR2 with their stand alone DR2: Case Zero game and they were hoping it would wet their whistle. It did the opposite in fact and many people were like oh ok I got my fix, why would I go and pick up DR2 now for $60. This was talked about on Vidjagame Apocalypse.
this right here is why im happy x1 don't have built in battery. It's fantastic to be able to use AA recharge batteries and never have to worry about plug in my controller. Sony has built in battery but gives you a short cable that can't even reach most people sitting area.
i do have one of these http://www.amazon.com/10000mAh-Smartphones-USB-charged-Adapters--Lightning/dp/B009USAJCC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384374391&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+battery which will probably work but still worse than just swapping batteries
Launch lineups are generally shit, you buy a system at launch because potential/hype. And Joystiq talked at length about the disappointing battery life, but I think 8 hours will be fine for most.
Launch lineups are generally shit? That seems like a very dumb generalization to make sorry. Why would someone invest so much in a console if the games for it are not up to par (plus they really need to wow people to persuade the shift to next-gen hardware)? I know a few people that did that with the Wii U and they're still waiting for the killer games plus there are tons that have not invested in that system due to a lousy launch lineup - while Nintendo also being in their own lala land (maybe it's 3D LaLa Land next to 3D Mario Land lol). I think the people buying a system at launch are the ones that will enjoy having the new fresh new tech and software via the feeling of awe and exclusivity. There's been quite some time in between console launches so there are many who are really ready for the switch or maybe the inclusion of a next-gen console to their existing gaming setup.
Dude, generally speaking, launch line-ups are TERRIBLE. Not saying the Xbox One won't break this trend, but usually you have a bunch of unecessary ports, games that don't live up to the hype and are just plain shit, and if you are really lucky you have one standout title, a small miracle is having two. Look at the 360, I'm pretty sure Call of Duty 2 & Condemned were the only decent games at launch. The PS3 didn't have one memorable game at launch. Same goes for PS2, that thing only sold because it played dvds which at the time was huge.
Why not wait, then? I'd think there could be a chance of some retailer bundling Infamous with a console, or having some sort of sale or coupon or credit offering, while Microsft and Sony battle for the victory of the first year of release.
So it just doesn't make sense for me to pay day one prices for either of these consoles when there's just nothing I for sure want coming anytime soon, and I've got too much to play on the platforms I already own.:lol: Lambasting the WiiU launch lineup and proceeding to praise the X1 lineup with a list of ports and multiplatform games. Apples to oranges. If you're counting ports and multiplat titles than the WiiU launch (BLOPS2, Mass Effect, Batman, Darksiders, ACIII, etc) is just as solid, if not better than the X1 and PS4.
Wow. The exact reasons I would never get in a line. I did it for PS2 when preorders weren't even a thing.
True but I want to play fifa, call of duty, battlefield, etc and since the price of the games are exactly the same as current gen systems and there isn't much room to cut price on the ps4 I'd rather have the ps4 now. Afterall $400 now and an extra year ownership is a better value for me than $400 a year from now. I did sell my vita though to help pay for the ps4 which was basically a paperweight.Yeah, that's why I decided to cancel my PS4 preorder, and ended up picking up a Wii U. There's a bunch out, or coming soon, on Wii U I want. And Nintendo's games are better for playing a half hour here or there (which is about all the gaming I get in lately), than the story driven games I play on Sony/MS consoles.
There's nothing coming out on PS4 (or X1) anytime soon that's a definite must play for me. I'm not even sure on Infamous as the first two are still in my PS3 backlog.
I'm going to do my best to at least clear the PS3 and 3DS backlog, and be caught up on Wii U, before taking the next gen plunge. But odds are there will be a couple killer games on one platform or the other that make me take the plunge sooner than I'd like--maybe Destiny if my buddy I played BL2 with ends up getting a console and playing that game.
If you buy digitally within the first two weeks, you receive the bonuses. Microsoft only confirmed the Day One bonuses so far, so i'm not sure if it works for everything else
Sorry and I know I sound like an ass here but the multiplatform games on Wii U are not desired because of what Nintendo is doing with the Wii U (9 times out of 10 someones going to get the game for PS4/X1 if they had to decide). There's no solid online infrastructure, graphically they have to be downgraded from their PS4/Xbox One counterparts - or worse you find frame rate problems due to lack of care in this department of development - and Nintendo doesn't even have a solid universal gaming account.
Of course. As I said above it's a lot more worthwhile for people who are into military shooters, sports games, racers etc. as they can get the next gen versions of all those yearly franchises and have plenty to play alongside the couple good exclusives in either platform.
Nobody is trying to validate anything, I haven't even played ZombieU. You aren't comparing apples to apples. You're comparing pre-launch perception to post launch reception. 1-2 weeks before launch ZombieU is still an unknown property just like Knack and Ryse. It's easy to look back now and downgrade it but prior to launch, it's no different than anticipating what PS4 or X1 offerings.
I don't follow. ZombieU for the Wii U is out. Knack for the PS4 is also out. Both had unanimous negative critic reception following the games bad design. Ryse is still up in the air but it hasn't launched yet so it could be any factor, good or bad.
I don't know which reviews you were reading, but Zombie U got a fairly solid critical reception. Perhaps you were thinking about Red Steel? I can also confirm from first-hand experience that Zombie U is a fine game and very much worth playing. It's going to be on clearance a lot this Black Friday, pick up a copy if you already have a Wii U. The atmosphere and tension in the game are wonderful.
I think the one element Ryse will have going for it is that it'll show off the system's graphic capabilities probably far better than, say, Knack is going to for the PS4. Granted, Ryse might be repetitive and dull, but I'd imagine it'll get enough interested people to at least try it out just to see how it looks (I'm kind of on the fence about it; if Amazon does a promo next week as they did for Sony, I'd be tempted to go for it). Beyond that, it definitely seems with Forza & DR3 that Xbox One's 1st party software line-up is much stronger than the PS4 at least as far as the launch goes.
