Microsoft's Always-Online Debacle Is Playing into the PS4's Hands

Push Square: "No publicity is bad publicity, or so the old adage goes – but Microsoft executives must find themselves staring into a window of brutal GIFs wondering what to do next. The press surrounding the company’s next generation platform has not been rosy for some time, but things escalated overnight when Adam Orth, the creative director on an as of yet unannounced Xbox title, mistakenly opted to use the public forum of Twitter to channel his opinion about the latest round of rumours regarding his employer’s impending console revision."

I'd say that's true at this moment in time.

I was thinking this would be more fitting.

Third time I've seen you post that same stupid joke in like an hour, stop trying to force it, it's just not funny.

darthv724037d ago

Yea but ps4 should be in the market now to really help.

Or its just talks on the internet.

Cocozero4037d ago

How? By taking all the attention away from the PS4?

Oh yes. Because having an "always on" console is a good thing right? Seriously, even though there's more Xbox articles for the time being, it doesn't mean it's in their favor. Xbox publicity is good, but not this kind of publicity. This makes them infamous. So by your way of thinking, being in the headlines is good no matter what right? Until we get something good comfirmed by Microsoft, the Xbox 720 is the lindsay lohan of video games.

Reverent4037d ago

It's really starting to worry me. I mean, I wasn't necessarily planning on getting the next Xbox myself, but even as a pro Sony guy, I want everyone, even the competition, to have the best possible experience when it comes to gaming. Gamers deserve that much.

unchartedxplorer4037d ago

Until microsoft denies or confirms this people are just going to get less and less hyped about the next xbox.

darthv724037d ago

more and more vocal/interested in what is really going on.

you can't buy this kind of publicity.

ps3_pwns4037d ago

you dont want this kind of publicity. i just told my friends the next xbox rumor and leaks and they said they are not going to get it now. even if mS says that it was not true the damage is already done. MS had plenty of time to say something but its to late now people will just forever think that the x720 will always need online. now everyone getting excited for the ps4 and in console discussions some guy would be like what about the new xbox and my friends would say eww u have to be always onliine to play that and its gonna suck compared to the ps4 and we praise the ps4 the whole time from then on lol. i like the way you tried to spin it though

Jaqen_Hghar4037d ago

this TERRIBLE publicity. Their whole conference is going to be denying rumors lol

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker44m ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo34m ago(Edited 33m ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6924m ago(Edited 24m ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos6h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto5h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger885h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
