Eh can't really hate on those games since the closet I;ve played to them would be Tales or Ni No Kuni. I will say most of them do make me a tad bit uncomfortable though.


With that said its not like final fantasy is any better right now.

So you guys have gone back supporting Xbox"one"? that's nice!

I was always planned to get one because as some people know I really like the Xbox. Plus Halo, Quantum Break, and a new Fable always meant i was going to jump in.


I just plan to go with the PS4/Vita for my main set up this gen.

I don't think any gamer has true brand loyalty, if they did we would all be playing Atari, Coleco, and Magnavox consoles and Nintendo would still be 3rd party only.


Why I am teetering is the same reasons mentioned, the games drought on Wii U is a turn off and the fear it won't improve much. PS4 appeals to me because it does more than just plays current gen games, it is also a true media hub and with my worthless Google TV no longer getting any official support and my cheap ass Roku crapping out on me, and my five year old profile 1.1 Blu Ray player not able to play every movie that comes out, I am in a desperate need for a more universal media machine. At this point I am also considering a Ps3 just cuz it is cheaper but also cuz it has a strong library of games but the price is still unbelieveably high for such an old console.



The game that has me most excited now is watch Dogs but I could get that on my laptop if I want to play it on low to medium settings.


I don't think Sony can achieve PS1/2 sales but I think they will be stronger than PS3 sales out the gate. Especially since they aren't really trying to push Blu Ray so the price is much more realistic.

I dunno from what I gather from Gonintendo and Nintendolife there's alot of loyalty for Nintendo and even the mention of the other console makers get you skewered.


My chocies probably mirror yours Pixels.


A big factor was me was looking at the past year of Wii U games and looking at this fall and there's is I repeat only one Online enabled game. It shows nintendo doesn't get it when they're trying to push how awesome the Nintendo Network/Miiverse in but doesn't have any games that directly use it. Hell you'd think with the RTS/Moba boom Pikmin 3 online play would be a no brainer.

[/size][size=78%]Hell I'm not the biggest online gamer but I do play one game on the regular and usually dip my toe into others. Not having anything other than Monster Hunter till next year doesn't seem like Nintendo learned from the Wii.  [/size]

@ Ceric
 
Good to hear.
 
I have to say, I'm pretty psyched to have a new console on the horizon. Buying that Wii all those years ago feels like a lifetime ago.
 
It will also be only the second non-Nintendo console I've ever owned (with the first being the original Xbox). Exciting times.

Wow really? What led you to choose the PS4.

Animal Crossing New Leaf: slowed down to playng about two hours a day which is a better pace, so I won't burn out.


Dead Rising 2 case zero: Free on xbox live with the main game to hype up DR3. Been playing it mutiple times to get all of the combo cards and hit level 5.

I keep going back and forth over whether I'm going to keep my preorder. Most of the games coming at launch I can also get on PS3. I'd double dip on FIFA 14 if I wouldn't lose all my progress from two months on the PS3. Also, that $400 could be put to better use around that time. Even still, it's hard to talk myself out of all the launch excitement.

EA announced that all your Fifa progress can be shared between the two.



I think Sony is setting up the Playstation ecosystem to kill Steam (or at least the steambox).

I love how MS has bungled Killer Instinct.  Fans beg for it for years and they finally announce it but Rare isn't working on it.  And now it's using a free to play model.

A month from now they'll reveal that it controls exclusively with Kinect.  If you're going to poison a game's appeal with its intended audience you might as well go all the way.

You seem to be lacking any sort of comprehension or not even following the game


-The game isn't free to play. The demo is but you can also outright buy the game which I posted right above you.


-Rare isn't working on it dirctly but a few members of rare like ken lobb are working on it.


-despite Rare not working on it the game is getting lots of press for being good and Double Helix is also getting good press on strider.

That was incredibly boring. I guess those types of games just do nothing for me anymore.


Plus, them continually talking about indies and spotlighting them like Nintendo made me laugh when someone on my Twitter feed say it's like the both of them saying "hey, look at my black friend!"


EDIT: Games are games. I don't care the budget or the developer.

Sony has been spotlighting indes way before nintendo and having more indies proves that. While it does seem like that if you don't follow them that much. Alot of indie guys are friends with adam and Shaid and usually get talks started on twitter or when they were hanging out.


I will say the big problem is sony is coasting. Good but not great showings and winning off of gamers liking them more. Microsoft has had great showings with really great news but becuase they burned gamers they always come up short.


I was hoping on some more tradtional games for both consoles. Vita I was oping for some PS2 style rpgs and Platformers.

pricing for Killer Instinct was announced.


The Game can be downloaded for free and comes with Jango. All other characters are $5 a piece.


You can also buy two packs which are more full game type deals.


The Combo Breaker pack costs $20 and gives you the first eight characters. (6 at launch, and two afterward)


The Ultra Editon costs $40 and comes with all of that ( the two characters before launch) plus costumes and asseoriey packs, plus the original Killer Instinct arcade game.

General Chat / Re: Why does Pixar keep making Cars movies?!

« on: August 20, 2013, 11:09:02 AM »

Planes isn't even made or animated by Pixar so all this bitching is null and void. I ain't even mad this is being made.

I believe that's because Pixar probably didn't want to make the movie. It was originally going to be a straight-to-DVD (I believe short) film. It was executively produced by the chief creative officer at Pixar though. Luckily it did pretty poorly at the box office, unfortunately a sequel will be released...in less than a year.

Planes didn't need to sell alot of tickets. Like turbo it will be made up in toy sales.

The blurb about self publishing,

At gamescom today, we announced a new program for Xbox One, Independent Developers @ Xbox (ID@Xbox), which I am super excited to be part of. It’s a program we built based on feedback from over 50 developers which enables self-publishing of digital games on Xbox One. The program will offer developers access to development kits at no charge and an easy path for developers to build, publish and sell their games on Xbox One.[/size]Games that come through this program will be able to access the exact same features as any other large game company on Xbox One: Achievements, Gamerscore, Kinect, Xbox SmartGlass, Xbox cloud services and more. What’s also exciting is that these games will be available in the exact same marketplace (Xbox One Store) as every other game on Xbox One, making discovery for players easier by using all the curation and discovery tools that Xbox One will offer, including Spotlight, Trending, Recommendations and great social discovery with features like Game DVR and Upload.We’re really proud to offer this third path onto Xbox One for developers, and we’re excited to see what independent developers will bring to the system. At the same time, many independent developers will still want to work with a publisher, either Microsoft Studios or a third party, to bring their content to Xbox One. Publishers can provide support such as testing, QA, funding and marketing and promotion services. While some independent developers want to “do it themselves,” for others working with a publisher is the right decision, so they can focus 100 percent on the game itself. It all comes down to enabling developers to make the choice that makes the most sense for them. That’s ultimately what’s going to deliver the broadest and best games onto our platform for gamers.It’s also important to remember that our vision is that anyone will be able to create using Xbox One. Marc Whitten, Xbox Chief Product Officer, has said that eventually we’ll enable anyone to make games for Xbox One using their Xbox One console as a development solution. (In the meantime, there’s a super exciting product coming to Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows 8 for budding creators. It’s called “Project Spark” and anyone can make surprisingly deep interactive game content – you can even use Kinect in your projects!).At the end of the day, when you turn on your TV, we want Xbox One to have the broadest and most diverse content possible. Whether you’re in the mood for a big budget shooter, a contemplative side scroller, or something totally different that we can’t even imagine yet. The best way to deliver that experience is by doing what we’ve always done: making life easy for developers, as they do the hard work of creating fantastic game experiences for us all to enjoy.[/size]

So Microsoft is taking ques from both microsoft and Sony to have three ways to get games on the system.


-Self publishing is allowed like on the others but microsft is obviously pushing for getting pubs.
-You can go through publishers as well for the better marketing etc.
-If you publish through Microsoft games studio you get Unity for free.


-Doesn't matter how you go through it you get a free Xbox One and Kinect SDK, as well as having access to the full gambit of Xbox Features.


-For those who want to dabble there is project spark which is for the very simple consumer to build games.

Some Gamescom info came out and i'm leaning toward the Xbone again.


-Fifa 14 is free in Europe with pre-orders of the system. Exclusive Ultimate legends content.
-Call of Duty Ghosts has exclusive timed DLC, as well as dedicated servers.
-While Sony scooped up Watchdogs, microsoft is getting exclusive content and marketing for The Division.
-Self publishing announced (on par with sony with two free dev kits, plus next year the console its self can dev kit)


A new fucking Fable Game announced let's start this Hype Train.





Lionhead has three teams known so far. The Fable I remake was down by the journey team, the Fable Legends is done by the heroes guys I think, and Fable IV will be announced next year.




-Max and the magic Marker coming to Xbox One
-Plants vs zombies gardan warfare pushed to 2014.
-Peggle 2 at xbox one launch
-Mojang's cobalt coming to Xbox one and 360.
-Fighter Within from ubisoft for launch

I was thinking of pushing getting any next gen consoles into late next year and in the mean time transtion my main gaming devices to PC and Phone/Tablet gaming.


I was thinking of starting to save money to build one for next January.
