Later this year Sony and Microsoft will release the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, respectively, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
While both consoles are still a few months out, there’s already a lot of information out there about both. With pre-orders starting to run dry, now’s the time to decide which console is right for you.
Thankfully, a month after E3 there is quite a bit of information available for both consoles.
A third game in the Falconeer series has been announced as the second, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles, launches.
While there’s a lot to love about modern video games, there is one trend — particularly in the AAA space — that tends to grate: their length.
Games are coming out with too much fluff and side activities that are horribly dull. That's my main issue with all these open world games. Open world should be about exploration, discovery and wonder, not have some stupid 10s or 100s of boring activities spread throughout.
I stopped buying overfluffed games like a decade ago. Cant stand games with the Ubisoft mindset of just filling maps with uselss collectibles and fodder. Make it mean something. Ill gladly take 1/4 size of the map and 1/10th the "content" if it all meant more, were more unique and greater affect on your progression.
Well people complained like the world was ending when a few games were six to ten hours of gameplay. Developers listened and started making longer games full of repetitive gameplay, time wasting fetch quest and other forms of bloat. In doing so they were able to justify the high cost of a game being sold to the customers at seventy dollars or more.
Hopefully Hercule will at least get his jetpack.
Pretty useful article with some helpful comparisons.
Enough with these articles already!
I'm going to continue to put my faith in Sony. Features are nice but at the end of the day I'm buying a console to game and I need the games to back that up.
Over the past 2 gens Sony has proved to pump out a diverse huge blockbuster lineup of exclusives throughout the console lifespan.
Where as Microsoft only has a few franchises and exclusives for the first couple of years. I will wait to see how x1 plays out before buying one.
I was wondering how many bullets you can take on Killzone before you die. It seemed like 100 bullets could do you no harm. I've never been a big fan of Killzone and the graphics almost look as good as Crysis 3 on the PS3. For the X1 to have lower specs their games do look better graphically so far. Maybe the tile resourcing does work. The X1 also has the better games so far...Titanfall, Crimson Dragon, Ryse, Halo 5, Quantum Break, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3, Forza, D4, Project Spark, and Sunset Overdrive. And we can expect Left 4 Dead 3, Gears Of War, and Crackdown 3. No way I could miss all those titles. Yeah I'm good with the X1.
It all boils down to your preferences really, fanboyism should die like really.
