Quick question, do you think NFS Rivals is anything like the Burnout games? I really like the Burnout series (especially 3 and Revenge), and watching some videos I felt like it has that vibe to it.
I bought mine off PSN.
Sony wants to make sure it can meet demand in competitive regions. It is the equivalent of political candidates only campaigning in battleground states and is a smart strategy.
It has to be in standby I believe, which is done by holding down the PS button and selecting it.
When it comes to reviews and really anything on a scale where you get a value for how good you did, it's more accurate to have more precise numbers.
My editor in chief said it reminded him greatly of Burnout.
Thanks for the info! Looking forward to this game (whenever Amazon finally ships it, not sure what their problem is).
i ordered mine last tuesday, finally shipped yesterday, expected delivery tomorrow. when i ordered i had that message that said "cannot give an accurate release date" or something like that
Personally, I skip numbers and if I review a game, I rate them as "Awesome", "Good", "Ok", "Not Good", and "Terrible".
Unless I am mistaken, preorder cards for consoles this time around were numbered. The tea am lead would have gotten a memo by now to tell them exactly how many systems to hold in the back and how many systems to put on display.
Because that's pretty much what plays out in my head when I see a low review ;-P
The problem is when there is a break that they just pull a random employee off the floor to cover electronics, that person may not know the scoop on how to handle the consoles.
That is indeed a very impressive number.
My Target set aside the same number of PS4s as reservation cards sold. I had multiple people tell me this is how it would, but after the wiiu launch, I decided to go when they opened. They had everyone line up and handed out numbered tickets for the first come first serve systems. When they let us in they had a corresponding number of first come systems (13) behind the counter. 5 people into the line all the employees started saying this is preorders only. One girl, 7th in line believed this and did not ask for clarification. She did not have a reservation so she left. I was still half asleep cause I could not sleep the night before. Otherwise I would of asked for more clarification. They were giving walk in systems to everyone and this line was a mix of preorders and walkins, and everyone had the 1-13 tix for the walking systems When I got closer to the front of the line I asked for clarification. Reserved systems were in the back. They went to get my system and gave a guy in front of me who had a reservation a walkin system, A mild cluster. In the end there were a few people behind me and they gave the last walkin system to the person in front of me.
Metro Last Light was supreme (on PC).
Whatever M$ says, know that it's probably upscaled numbers. TROLOLOLOL. . .
Count me as well! Fun and cute story line. Of course every time I get one of the items, The sound it makes when it is going into your inventory reminds me of Dark Cloud.
All my downloaded games have two entries in the dl list. Once as downloaded ane another as installed. Perhaps this is what you saw?
No plasma here, but it's annoying in general when trying to plug in USB to recharge. The light is pretty bright and flashing it in your eyes while trying to see the port sucks. It's not really a factor while playing though. Still, wish they hadn't put something like that on there when I have no use for a move controller.
Well said.
No problems. The employees were very aware of the 'store address' stamped on the cards indicating where the reservation was made. I witnessed an employee informing his replacement of what to look for and how to handle redeeming reservations. As you can imagine some stores will be more thorough than others. As long as you're there by midday you should be fine. There is a away to exploit Target's reservation system but this can be remedied by calling the store on Wednesday AND Thursday and suggest they keep the bottom portion of the reservation card or punch a hole in it if they're going to give it back to the customer.
If Sony is selling consoles at a rate of 2:1 over Microsoft, why do you think the Xbox One will be scarce?
Sony obviously has had the production going much longer than the X1, so it is reasonable to assume the X1 will be scarce for a brief period of time.MrFocus said:
My Contrast had 2 files too; I thought it was a repeat but I looked closer, and one was 2+GB and the other was about 600MB i think...maybe one was a "setup" file or something.
Assuming that there is a slight edge in Sony buyers than MS buyers, that will likely lead to more MS buyers left without a console.
The demand for the PS4 is obvious. I'm however missing the link between where Sony has been "obviously" producing PS4's long before Microsoft started its' production of the XBone and the "assumption" of scarcity. Where did you hear that Sony started production before Microsoft?
Just seems so weird for Japan to be such a minor player in their launch roll out. I'm sure a lot of it is knowing that they would have to go light everyone's cat on fire to lose to MS in Japan but still.
They actually said before they are holding back in Japan because they felt the launch lineup didn't really have much that would interest Japanese people so they pushed it back to get some more titles in there.
Just because Sony is selling more consoles doesn't mean Microsoft will ship less. If the ratio is 2:1 and 100 of each console arrives at the store then there will be 50 XBones sitting on the shelf.
Makes sense with their domination over MS there and that NA and EU are more important now for early adoption but it just seems so foreign.
You're the same person that said the defect rate was 50% based off the Amazon reviews. Credibility.
When I am in the middle of frantic action in Killzone or Lego Marvel I don't notice it at all. While watching a cutscene I often realize it is there. Very tempted to put tape on the back of the controller.
Developers pretty consistently said that PS4 tools and kits were a month or two ahead of XBox One. And Major Nelson announced the XBox One's GPU speed bump after they started test production and internal beta in July (announced on an August 2 podcast).
Microsoft had a smaller preorder window than Sony. The fact that they cut off the preorders should be an indication of their initial supply run. Sony releasing in more markets and having publicly started they will do everything they can to fulfill demand are just more indicators they will have a greater supply. Obviously MS will seek to stock the shelves like Sony by the end of the year, but as for launch weekend the point is that the demand is looking like it will exceed the supply.
The link is where the preorder numbers come in. Xbox One only had a set number available, where as PS4 was seemingly limitless.
Exactly if I was Japanese I'd be pissed Sony was holding back the Japanese launch because they know they already have their money.
