Sony must have loved the xbox reveal yesterday lol but honestly the direction that Microsoft is taking isn't all that surprising seeing how the 360 changed as years passed by. I'm looking forward to their e3 conference to see if they dig them self deeper into a hole or miraculously turn things around. Sony on the other hand needs to keep their A game because as of now they are the one's with the positive buzz. E3 is going to be hell and I'm glad I requested that day from work lol.

Mikefizzled3988d ago

Lets face it the way things are going a lot of the people aren't going to give it the second chance it deserves. I saw a few figureheads say they felt like they was getting all the stuff that people are getting fed up with at E3 out of E3 ergo hopefully less to none on social and entertainment at E3

TheFamous13988d ago

Sony is in a great position, plus they haven't even shown off the console yet which will gain them a large amount of publicity

andibandit3988d ago

Im still skeptical about MS cloud approach(which is nothing like Sony's). I just dont see Developers embracing having to distrubute tasks to the cloud, when we all know they choose the easiest way to do things.
Also i dont fully fathom how much can be gained from this kind of distributive processing, i hope to see something at E3.

Bill Gates repositions his night mask and awaits the returns on the future crop of XBLive subscribers and used disc consumers they catch in the net for 2013.

Creating money out of thin air doesn't get any easier than this folks... this is an evil company not concerned about the desires or pocketbooks of gamers. Microsoft is simply reaping what they've sown.

kneon3988d ago

Gates has nothing to do with this anymore, he's working on more important things.

Really now? a evil company? I agree with you up till you said evil, I totally think micro is a Money grubbing company but evil is like hitler styles to me.

IaMs123988d ago

Micrsoft was great when Gates was there, perfect? no, no company is. But Gates is actually a pretty good guy.

Sucks how the xbox went down the drain over the years. No competition for Sony anymore. If we had more competition gamers would win even more.

Snookies123988d ago

Bill Gates really is a good guy. No reason to down him.

hay3987d ago (Edited 3987d ago )

You guys need a reality check. Gates is far from being a good guy.
The only good thing about it is it's PR.
Among many things, it clearly admitted its aims to "reduce" about 1 billion people with its vaccines and "health care" projects, and is still loved and defended?
Damn, people are smart.

Games matter. We keep telling them it's all that matters but they won't listen....why won't they? :

* They invest money in what they want to, then they push that on consumers as if it's something they need.

WE are the only people who know what we want or need and all we want as gamers, is games.

Simple concept huh ?

Remember the pointless NFL partnership Microsoft announced yesterday? Apparently they spend $400 million for it.
Talk about a waste of perfectly good money which they should've spent on Indie devs.

Rainstorm813988d ago

@dasbeer

That deal wasn't for gamers at all, that was more about modernizing the NFL sidelines with tech...like tablets instead of clipboards or pictures on the sidelines.

The Xbox One integration was an extra perk that certainly didnt have gamers in mind....as a matter of fact nothing I've seen thus far from MS concerning the X1 is gamer friendly

insomnium23988d ago

I bet XB1 will be a huge success and it's Kinect games will sell 10 million each. This site will be filled with "gamers" rejoicing XB1 dominance as PS4 struggles to get sales.

I bet this is what will happen and every time I come here I have to read the same BS all over again. Market share blah blah. Sales blah blah. SSDD and I effing HATE it.

Xandet3988d ago

Not only did the PS4 stomp the X1 in a poll propositioned by one of the internet's biggest gaming publications, it got almost identical results in polls from two of the biggest gaming forums in NeoGAF and GameFAQS.

The best part? Nobody can even claim fanboyism with such lopsided results from multiple sources. Even some of my friends, who up till recently would've jumped off a bridge had Microsoft requested it, were laughing throughout the X1 reveal and ended up asking me when they could preorder a PS4.

Microsoft certainly should be worried.

Angeljuice3987d ago

But they're not.... They've milked the gamers as much as they can and decided that it's not a big enough market for them. Even if they lose 50% of their current gamers, they figure they'll make even more money from the casual market and tech whores. It will probably outsell the PS4 because the potential user base is much bigger, its just that the vast majority won't be gamers.

Welcome to the Microsoft Money Milking Machine!

And some will sill call us the who are questioning MS fanboys lol

I can't believe how one company can screw up so much in one hour conference. E3 MS you better make things better other wise t was nice knowing you

MS's arrogance is unbelievable

Yes you have to be online but its not always online ok?
Yes you can sell or trade your games but you have to pay fee for playing used games?
We believe xblive old offers value even though PSN will be free and will be similar if not better service but we will charge because fanboys are willing to pay

EA taking back online passes sounded too good to be true. MS/EA will be voted the worst companies in America #1#2

negative3987d ago

lol how can you argue that paying for an elite service is a bad thing?

Live has always been better than PSN hands down. That's why they charge. And that's why people will continue to pay.

Everyone knows Xbox will continue to have great games and now the console will do more than the PS4 can.

Ignorant Sony fanboys are ignorant.

Exactly... Now all sony has to do to blow everyone away and seal xbox coffin is to start E3 by stating something along the lines as this "Like we have always told you before our sale are doing fine, our install base is ever stable, and the future looks bright. But enough about that because we only have games to bombard you guys with..." Booom booom booom one after another, after another, after another, 1 hour into the conference.... another, after another reveals of games. Then they finally leave Just the right amount of golden minutes to mention that you will all be doing this on the PS4. BOOM out with a bang. *Kaz somehow has a mic on hand and tosses it and walks away like a boss*

Pintheshadows3988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

I thought much the same. If they go here is what is on PS3 this year. Show logos for Beyond, TLoU, GT6. Show a couple of Vita exclusives and then move onto PS4.

Unveil the actual console which is one of the first of the line and have Mark Cerny come out with Knack in a PS4 gamecase to show that off and then actually put it in the PS4, show of the new OS and then play his game live on an actual PS4.

Then show a race in Driveclub and Infamous gameplay and then move on to the things we don't know about. God, if they show The Last Guardian on PS4 and Versus as well my brain will pop and i'm sure there will be bigger surprises.

I think ND will show 1866 and it will be a spiritual prequel to Uncharted but a swashbuckler with swordfights and galleon battles instead of shooting.

TKCMuzzer3987d ago

@elite24gamer
I think you will find Fifa on the PS3 actually outsells the 360 version every year, that's one of EA's top sports titles.
Gears sales are virtually the same as Uncharted's and GTA 4's are virtually neck and neck and the latest Forza was well beaten by GT5.
Maybe it's me but I think some people just see what they want to.

NextGen24Gamer3988d ago

The DDR3 plus small fast eSRAM for the Xbox One can get to the GDDR5s peak performance from the PS4. The GDDR5 will be better in general for the GPU no doubt, but much will be offset by the eSRAM. The questoin is how much will GDDRs high latency hurt the CPU in the PS4?

The cpu is running on low frequency ~ 1.6 GHz which is half the frequency of most mainstream processors. And the PS4 GDDR5s latency is double the Xbox One's DDR3 latency.

GDDR5 has around ~8-10x worse latency compared to DDR3. So the CPU in the PS4 is going to be hurt by this. Everybody's talking about bandwidth but the Xbox One is going to have such a huge latency advantage over the Ps4's Ram, that maybe in the end it's going to be better off.

I would also have to give Xbox One the software advantage for developers. I will get both consoles day one. But, Though it looks like the Ps4 a little more raw power, it also has much worse latency. Let's wait and see what actual developers have to say.

But this is where I think Xbox One will trump the ps4 in regards to sales.

A. When parents, noobs, and your every day buyer compares consoles...They will look identical in regards to numbers. 8 gigs of ram, blah blah blah...They don't know nor care which is slightly more powerful. But, what they will see is all the EXTRA stuff the xbox One can do and the constant commercials that will tout all the cool things Xbox One can do..I also believe that the Xbox One will either cost the same as the Ps4 or a little less. Either way it will look like a better deal for MOST buyers.

Now sure there will be some geeks that will SCREAM that the ps4 has more raw power! But will that matter in the end if the games look very very simular? I actually believe there is a good chance that the xbox One will look as good or better in terms of graphics than the Ps4. I say that because of my previous statements.

Latency & software! Xbox One has the edge clearly in both.

Remember the ps3 had more raw power than the xbox 360...but did it matter in the end? NOPE! Most games look better on the 360 and it sold better in the USA. To be honest, I live in the USA and I could care less how either console does outside of my country. I play game with friends online. All my friends live in the United States.

I don't get paid from console sales. I'm just a gamer who buys every console every generation and I just want to play Great Games!

Gamer19823988d ago

software?? 360 didnt have the best nor most software it sold better because of price and it was out first and ONLY in the US. In the rest of the world even at a cheaper price it was still outsold by the more expensive PS3.

NextGen24Gamer3988d ago

When I say software, I mean development software. It will use the same software architecture that pc games use. Which will be easier for developers. Microsoft is a software company and having great development tools goes a long way with games from how they look to how they play! MS will always have an edge in that department because that's what they do at their core!

hot4play3988d ago

@Elite24Gamer

Let's see what game developers have to say first about this "latency" you keep on insisting on. Specs dont mean S*** if they dont translate into good gaming experiences. And besides, isn't bandwidth more important for graphics anyway? The PS4 also have the advantage of higher memory to use in games (only 1 gb reserved for OS vs. Xbox's 3gb OS footprint)

Now on the topic of development software, i'd think it wouldnt be an issue for the developers because both would be x86 architecture meaning differences (im assuming) would be minimal between the two.

About the games, isn't it obvious that Sony has the most number of game studios right now? Meaning there are more games in the pipeline for the PS4. Also, indie developers are siding with Sony because they are easier to work with ( as opposed to Microsoft who won't allow self-published games on the Xbox dONE. (lol couldn't resist). ;)

NextGen24Gamer3988d ago

@hot4play

Personally I could care less about indy games. I don't play them.

We will see what developers say. I'm looking forward to that.

In regards to Sony having more developments studio's...They always have had more but yet the xbox has always sold more software/games!

I believe the ps3 sales were inlfated due to the fact that they had a bluray player. This next generation the xbox One will have inflated hardware sales do to the fact that it does a lot more. There are people who can buy the xbox One and never buy a game from a store. They could literally use it for Music, Tv, and Movies!

In the end it comes down to games for gamers, but for businesses it comes down to sales. Ps3 sold a heck of alot of consoles because of bluray inclussion. That advantage is now gone.

Parents & noobs will look at both this holiday season and the numbers will look the same. But the xbox one will do a heck of a lot more and will seem like the bargain.

All the hardcore gamers I know will buy both consoles! Sony can have all the studios they want...Games sell more on the xbox brand PERIOD!

Call of Duty
Halo
Gears of War
Forza
Mass Effect
All sports games from EA or TakeTwo
GTA's

And the list goes on!

Sony's biggest blockbuster titles don't sell nearly as much as Xbox's blockbuster titles. But yet they are about equal in console sales...Figure that one out! :-)

hot4play3988d ago

@Elite24Gamer

It's "couldn't care less" not "could care less". That's just you, most casual gamers today play indy games and I know hardcore PC gamers who play more indy games now than AAA releases.

"We will see what developers say. I'm looking forward to that. "

http://www.tomshardware.com... --- The developers got exactly the kind of architecture they wanted; with the PS4 still at an advantage with its 7 gb GDDR5 ram they can use FREELY FOR GAMES.

"I believe the ps3 sales were inlfated due to the fact that they had a bluray player. This next generation the xbox One will have inflated hardware sales do to the fact that it does a lot more. There are people who can buy the xbox One and never buy a game from a store. They could literally use it for Music, Tv, and Movies! "

And 360 sales were inflated due to its high hardware failure rate. And i CAN already use my PS3, this gen, to play music, movies, and watch tv. Your point?

"In the end it comes down to games for gamers, but for businesses it comes down to sales. Ps3 sold a heck of alot of consoles because of bluray inclussion. That advantage is now gone. "

So now you're for businesses' agendas rather than gaming? Are you working for EA or something? Microsoft will have to pay royalties for Bluray use now so...Sony gets payed for every Xbox one unit that gets sold. :)

"Parents & noobs will look at both this holiday season and the numbers will look the same. But the xbox one will do a heck of a lot more and will seem like the bargain. "

So basically because of Microsoft's huge marketing budget, misinformed people will buy an Xbox 1 because it "will SEEM like the bargain"? Poor people...

"Sony's biggest blockbuster titles don't sell nearly as much as Xbox's blockbuster titles. But yet they are about equal in console sales...Figure that one out! :-)"

Heavy Rain (PS3) - 2.46 M
Alan Wake (X360) - 1.21 M
Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) - 10.39 M
Forza 4 (X360) - 3.96 M

Playstation 3 also has the advantage of a number of critically-acclaimed GOTYs under its belt (Uncharted 2, LittleBigPlanet, Journey) so......"figure that one out!" :-)

Angeljuice3987d ago

The eSRAM has nothing to do with the system bandwidth, it is only there to help with final cache and AA stuff. MS have been spinning like crazy to make it look like the eSRAM is a selling point but it is only really there to negate the slow system ram. As for latency, the per cycle latency gap is real, but its per second latency that matters, and there is virtually no difference between the two (GDDR 5 runs much faster so has more cycles per second). It is all Microsoft spin. The final bit of BS is the"infinite power of the cloud" will add processing power. If you think latency is an issue in GDDR5, how can you expect a server to send and receive information faster than a single frame is rendered? It simply can't be done (its the equivalent of Krazy Ken saying your toaster could help power your PS3).

At least i know ill be getting a bad ass zelda, mario, mario kart, smash bros, & metroid on the $&$#*@... Thats enough to warrant my purchase.. Any 3rd party exclusive games that end up good is a bonus..

lol, thanks for the all the support guys. Just want to clarify that I used to be a PS3 owner, bought an original PS3 at launch and have played most of the games released before 2010 (had to sell all my gaming merchandise to pay off my bills). I've played Uncharted 1 & 2, Infamous 1 (never got to 2), Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, Resistance and Ratchet&Clank.

But once I get it I'll be playing some free new games :D (Also going to swap out the 500GB HDD and put in a 500GB Solid-State Hybrid Drive, just because I can :D)

madjedi3988d ago

You might consider getting seagates 1tb hybrid drive, if you haven't already bought the drive, downloading will be pushed hard by everyone this gen.

And we might be doing full installs of games to eliminating load times, not sure if 500 gigs more is worth another $40 to you though.

The only positive i took away from the xbox one's virtually instantaneous app switching, that was it.

And that design is ugly as hell to me, when the word tv is said 30+ or more times in a console presentation, that doesn't excite me as a gamer in any way.

Did cod look like shit for a next gen title to anyone else or was just a low res video?

HyperBear3988d ago

Well I'm talking about the PS3 though.....as in I'll be replacing the hard drive it comes with, with the Seagate 500GB SSHD. I know downloading will be a huge integral part of the Next-gen consoles, but whether you can swap out the HDD in the PS4 (Because you can't on the Xbox One) will be the question.

Plus the COD:Ghosts video was an in-game cinematic trailer. It's all running on the new engine, just not being played live for true gameplay broadcasting. They will probably demo an actual mission at the Microsoft E3 conference.

DEADEND3988d ago

Didn't anyone tell M$ that the Wii U can be used to watch tv on, or that a lot of gamers are trying to get away from using a cable box. Now anyone who buys a Xbox One will have two boxes to use for tv and not one. I have a gut feeling the PS4 will have google tv and it'll be pretty good but not forced like this is.

DEADEND3988d ago

I used the wrong wording but your pay for a console that has these features that could have been used for something else like better ram like Sony did or more games to invest in not tv foundationaity.

DEADEND3988d ago

I like extra apps too, I use Netflix on my PS3 all the time. But never once have I thought to myself it would be great to use my PS3 as my main cable box because that's what my cable box is for in the first place lol.

Wikkid6663988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

Dead has core gamers we are used to tech and switching things back and forth. There millions of people that can barely run a dvd player. Things like the this are great for them. I don't even have cable tv, but I still see that this could be great for some. Others not so much... In the end all they're doing trying to provide a product that offers something for the widest consumer base. Dad might like the tv feature, little Timmy wants to game, mom wants it to Skype, and so on.

I've seen so little talk about the TVii feature that I forgot it existed. I'm not even sure if it will fully operate my cable box(use a U-Verse whole home DVR).

It just seems that this type of implementation would have to be supported by the cable box itself. I know HDMI makes it possible(as it's similar to HomeLink or similar things), but to what extent?

It's an interesting proposal and I like the thought of it, but just not that big a deal for me since I watch only DVR, and even then only a few shows.

Does anyone know if switching channels through a separate device is commonly used on cable boxes(as in there's a standard)?

I keep telling people this, but they don't listen. I have a Wii U. There are some fun games (very few, but they will come out) on the system. The TVii feature is the same as using my DVR though, so why turn on the Wii U when I want to watch TV?

Nobody uses TVii. There are apps for phones and tablets that work better than and are faster than TVii. The same will be true of Xbox One. Your Kinect can't turn your TV on. Many phones and tablets can.

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos3h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum20m ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola9m ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

SimpleDad2h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos22m ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai2h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK1h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.
