"It is the sound of thunder before the storm for gamers. It is the sight of the titans leagues away before they come and reign with their wrath. The torches are being lit as we speak and before December 2013 hits. The gaming world is up for a big change. Playstation 4 and XBOX 1(one) are soon to collide. Some have already chosen sides and save their money to be the first in line to grasp their gaming weapons. Others have yet to choose (Like my self) with all the devastation that sony and microsoft have created trying to make the next innovation of consoles gaming."
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
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
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.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
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.
I hate almost everything I saw at the Microsoft reveal. Nothing got me hyped, rather, concerned. Sony's reveal showed me power, games, games and games. PS4's sharing/streaming capabilities will be awesome.
I was really digging the social features of PS4.When rumors of a share button started spreading i thought it was just going to be incredibly stupid but they proved me wrong.
Uploaded that live gameplay of KZ:Shadow fall to facebook with a push of a button.Took 3 seconds.That is pretty cool.
The Live streaming is pretty amazing too.Me and my buddies wil get a kick out of that, trash talking in lobby chat while i watch him get destroyed in BF4 (he sucks)
Can't wait until they go more in depth at E3.
Microsoft just sucked overall, in every aspect.Everything they showed minus the voice chat, i could do right now by plugging my laptop into my tv.
There is a lot to hate about the Xbox One already and it as only shown to the world 4 days ago.
As much I hate to admit, I'm sure I'll find something about the PS4 that will annoy me, but I can't see there being much. It just looks so damn good right now :)
Straight up:
This casual, living room entertainment crowd?
They aren't going to buy one of these near launch when it's going to be $400+
Early adoption is for fans and for the core, and they are migrating to Sony (if they weren't already there) in DROVES.
Its not too early to make a decision.. Xbone screwed up to me & i know E3 wont change very much about.. Cant wait to find out more info on PS4
