NowGamer: "It's unprecedented, really.
Two next-gen consoles - the PS4 and the Xbox One - launching within a week of each other. Just how are you supposed to know which next-gen console is the best?
Rather than individual hardware reviews for both the PS4 and the Xbox One, we've decided it's best for you that we pit the two consoles head-to-head on a number of different important categories."
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
The one I bought on the 15th.
PS4 me ASAP
I'll probably get the ps4 when it's finally in stock in stores around here. It's $100 cheaper and killzone and infamous looking good on it.
Both
They are currently living side by side in harmony
Both. But I would recommend to any gamer to get a PS4. Better hardware at a cheaper price. Considering most big games these days are multiplats, it would be just stupid to pay more to play a worse looking version. Not to mention Sony has vastly superior 1st party studios anyways. XBO has a decent launch lineup and Titanfall coming, but based on the history of 360/PS3, I wouldn't expect Microsoft's exclusive buying wallet to stay open more than a couple years.
