'Gamers will choose between Xbox One and PS4 after Gadget Show hands-on'

33,000 gamers will attend this year’s Gadget Show Live at Christmas, says organizer Upper Street Events.

And the firm says that 86 per cent of attendees will use the show to decide between PS4 and Xbox One.

mewhy323882d ago

73% preferring PS4 sounds about right. That is being reflected the world over. What person in their right mind would pay 100.00 for less? Nuf said.

OlgerO3882d ago

PS4 deserves those sales after being the champion of gamers and saving next gen

You're really taking great steps to perpetuate the notion of mature, Sony-only gamers. :/

NatureOfLogic3882d ago

Xbox One will not be as successful as the Xbox 360. More people are switching to PS4 rather than sticking with Xbox. And if the Xbox fanboys think casuals will save the day, I have news for you, I don't think so. At a high price and no games to showcase the highly touted kinect 2.0, casuals will not flock to Xbox One like some are hoping. MS gave up the core for an attempt to get Wii casuals on Xbox. They failed. Now their asking for core gamers forgiveness, but the damage is already done. MS has shown their hand.

kickerz3882d ago

Ps4 - 73% Xbox one - 69% interested
LMAO guys getting all GeeD up over 4% is quite pathetic really . How about we get excited about games n tech n stuff, you know gaming things not stupid percentages.

XisThatKid3881d ago

^LMFAO one bubble I see why thoughsorry off topic.

This new gen is going to be/is very interesting. This is the first time that rivaling consoles release so close together. I must say that I'm not surprised at the PS4 preferences though.

Freedomland3881d ago

PS4= Agree

X1= Disagree

N4G POLL

NatureOfLogic3881d ago

To all the Xbox fanboys below saying "It's closer than we think it is"

Looks at this...... http://n4g.com/news/1348134...

No It's not. Xbox fanboys won't to believe It's closer like they believe Xbox One and PS4 is equally powerful. Two words, denial and delusional.

SolidStoner3881d ago

73% should now agree then :)))

SHORYUKEN3881d ago

@Blackbeld

Agreed, Microsoft deserves the fingers. I not gonna trust Microsoft at all. They will for sure reverse their policies again once they have a big instal base.

tawak3881d ago

ps4 actually gave the xbox fanboys a favor, not for ps4, xbox might be still stick,ing to their policy.

MazzingerZ3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

It shows that of those 80 millions many were RROD, backup consoles and so on

All those Kinetec sales to kids will probably won't follow to the X1, that's the risk when targeting just one demographic, those kids got bored of the X360 and switched to iPad or similar

Lots were old PS2 gamers now back to PS4 just because it feels like the PS2 all over again and no one forgets those great gaming moments

The SONY customers are more solid and stable and the proof is that people says N4G is full of SONY fanboys, maybe they are just more in reality, if there are so many X360 gamers why sometimes it feels like they don't exist?

PS3 surpassed the X360 since a while back, can't imagine how things will look this gen, maybe X1 owners will benefit from it, maybe MSFT acquires some studios to develop more 1st party games, who knows

Raf1k13881d ago

Not this silly Gadget Show. These idiots had a total Xbox fanboy to do a section on the PS3's YLOD making it look worse than it was. They even mentioned in the show that he was an Xbox fanboy.

The presenters of this show really don't seem to be very tech savvy to me either though it's a show aimed at the average Joe consumer.

nosferatuzodd3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

indeed ps4 allday everyday and twice on Sundays

nukeitall3881d ago

From article:

"Upper Street research says that 73 per cent of visitors are currently planning to buy a PS4 – higher than the 69 per cent considering an Xbox One."

What that says is that these are most likely hardcore gamers that plan on getting both consoles as the overlap is huge.

The battle of the casuals hasn't started yet, and seemingly the PS4 and Xbox One is actually closer than we think contrasting the 3 to 1 polls earlier. That is about two months, and I wonder what another two months will do?

zeee3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

ps4 will do great and way better than xbox but I believe ms will also sell loads of consoles at least in the beginning. this is going to be very interesting. ultimately that $100 difference is going to win. economy is still not that great you know.

sorry for any typo. sent from my phone

mcstorm3881d ago

@nukeitall wow had to read down to your post before I found someone who is not a fan boy. Why do people on here care so much about which console sells the most? You don't get anything for it. Buy the console you want and enjoy it and let people buy the console they want and enjoy that. This site has just turned into my dad is bigger than your dad rather than talking about the amazing games we are getting the back end of this year on the Xbox one, ps4, Wiiu, 3ds and Vita.

At the end of the day we buy a console for games not because of its sales.

We gotta remember this is a high percentage of people who are preferring the ps4 are the forum goer, the non stop article reader , the devout fan. the avg person who has xbox 360 will buy the x1 and likewise for ps4. if you think they are going to outsell by that margin....

PlayStation_43882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

No, the average person will buy whatever their friends buy.

If PS4 has the lead on the core gaming front, then Microsoft will be in trouble unless they somehow bring it back.

EDIT: I know lots of people who are jumping over from 360 to PS4 also... Only a hand full of people getting an X1

MysticStrummer3882d ago

"the avg person who has xbox 360 will buy the x1"

That's definitely not what I'm seeing and hearing, but I don't claim to know enough people to make a statistical judgement. I know one person who wants a One, and it's solely because of Forza.

ForgivenZombie3882d ago

Not really, me and my friends are switching to Ps4, we're tired of MS lackluster customer support and games for gold was the final insult, plus most people we ran into on live were very immature, so we're hoping PSN will be different.

Elit3Nick3881d ago

Exactly, it's the exact same with polls, most people that vote on polls are those that purposely seek them out. And @PlayStation_4 I don't know any of my friends that are skipping the X1 this gen, even a few are switching over because most of their friends are on Xbox live. That just shows how little polls and opinions on sites like this matter.

x713hitsquad3881d ago

I'm going to get both like always. Why do people care so much about sales?? Let's just enjoy whatever console we get.

Jaqen_Hghar3881d ago

How many cases has a user heard of a PS3 fan jumping ship?
Ok now how many Xbox fans has a user heard of jumping ship?
A man rests his case.

PS: If Sony beat Xbox losing the price war by $200, being a year late, and having to build their online up this gen what does a user think will happen when Sony is winning the price war by $100, is launch at the same time, and already has a network that works fine? A man doesn't see the logic in saying that Xbox will simply repeat the success of the 360. It would be one thing is 360 had dominated, but it STILL got beat with all the major factors going for it. With those factors now evened out or being advantages for PS4 a man doesn't see the logic of arguing that Xbox has a chance.

The great variety of games is a good opinion, but having more power isn't, until both are compared side to side after release, you can't be sure that one is more powerful than the other.

Kuse3882d ago

I would rather pay 100 more bucks for premium services than sub-par mediocre ones (glares at PSN), not to mention when I'm purchasing a new console I'm all about the games, and not just 30 indie titles, I'm talking AAA Blockbuster titles.

mxrider21993882d ago

ooo so you want to play forza and ryze some great AAA games with lots of replay value....

cloak3653882d ago

If you are talking about playing AAA titles then would easily pick ps4. Sony has a history of great games and continued support for their consoles well into their life times (TLOU). PSN service is just as good and in some cases better then XBL maybe not early on but it definitely is now.

Brix903882d ago

Ps4 and X1 at this point are almost providing the same services and most free unlike the X1 and PS+ gives a variety of free games while they only give you guys once a month. Not to mention that Killzone and Infamous look better than any game on the X1 lineup. I will give to Dead Rising though probably be the only exclusive game I would get if I was getting an X1. Don't get me wrong though X1 will have some good games next summer like Titanfall but so will PS4. Point I'm trying to make is your argument doesn't justify your claims of premium service, I guess why MS has a pay wall do that people like you that are paying for it think their premium.

Skips3882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

"I would rather pay 100 more bucks for premium services than sub-par mediocre ones (glares at PSN)"

*I would rather pay 100 less bucks for premium services that give you much more value for your money (PS+) than sub-par mediocre ones that do nothing but just put everything behind pay walls... (glares at XBL)

"when I'm purchasing a new console I'm all about the games, and not just 30 indie titles, I'm talking AAA Blockbuster titles."

*when I'm purchasing a new console I'm all about the games, and I'm talking true AAA Blockbuster titles like Killzone SF and Infamous SS that ACTUALLY LOOK NEXT GEN. Not scrapped 360 games (Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct) that were used to fluff up the launch lineup, not some useless camera that nobody wants, not Kinect shovelware games that'll be all that MS provides for the later half of the gen, not TV, not Sports...

...And anyways... you must've hated MS for the past 4 years then. XD... 1-2 AAA exclusives then they throw in the towel for the year. lol

What good AAA 360 exclusives have you bought since Gears Judgement??? (Which turned out to be terrible) http://www.amazon.com/Gears...

Or upcoming AAA 360 exclusives will you be playing till next gen hits???

UnHoly_One3882d ago

"PSN service is just as good and in some cases better then XBL"

LMFAO

No. Just No.

To this day, PSN is not even comparable to where XBL was when the 360 launched 8 years ago.

Brix903881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

@Unholy_One

You obviously can't compare the two because PSN is free on ps3 and Xbox isnt on 360 but next gen will be different because both require subscriptions for online making it better. The facts that PS+ gives free games how can you even argue with that and that it's great features are free with no subscription. So I guess you can say that XBL doesn't compare too the features PSN offers.

UnHoly_One3881d ago

PSN doesn't give you free games, it's a rental service.

XBL actually does give away free games now, if you want to make those comparisons.

But honestly, that isn't the type of thing I was talking about. I'm talking about the features of the online service itself, how smooth it works and how easy it is to hook up with friends, etc...

XBL is light-years beyond PSN. Those of you disagreeing have either not used XBL very much or you just have your Sony blinders on.

Then have fun with your glorified cable box...and Ryse.

moparful993881d ago

@unholyone I'm suspecting you haven't used or have barely used PSN.. Aside from some obscure or minor social features(x game chat) PSN and Xbox live are identical.. PSN runs great and in the case of first party online games have dedicated servers..

My KDR with shooters is actually better on PSN than it is on XBL. Don't feed me some non factual argument that there are better players on XBL because that's unfounded and basically just conjecture. For me personally the Dualshock 3 controller works better for gaming in general than the 360 pad and lends itself to my being better in shooters on the platform.

As it stands today(especially with the PS4) PSN and XBL have parity, we can sit here and argue for either one having an advantage but the fact of the matter is that when it all comes down to personal preference. There really is no technical advantage that one has over the other.. PERIOD.

Brix903881d ago

@Unholy_One

Ps+ games aren't rentals they can be downloaded to playstation and be kept in your download list forever they can be used only with a PS subscription comparing to Xbox live they give you 1 game a month and nothing good.

Back to what you were saying though as far as multiplatform games online was better on 360 but when you playing online on Killzone 3 I experience no lag and smooth gameplay online. I can't vouch for your experience but I own both consoles and agree with you in how it's easy to connect to friends an such but my experience Sony doesn't seem far behind. To each is own I guess.

You guys are exactly like the Xbox fanboy in this video below who says things, makes claims about certain areas of superiority, takes hearsay statements that fanboys have been using for years as your own, but can't actually back it up apart from a couple of limp points and add "ETC." on the end to make it appear that you have loads of points to definitively tell us why something is better. But you can't.

PlayStation fans keep pointing out EXACTLY where you're wrong about PSN, but you think that "LMFAO" is any kind of response?

You are exactly the same as these fools: http://www.youtube.com/watc... Embarrassing.

Not technical accessory is gonna make me change that

DigitalRaptor3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

This is the worst reason to say what person would or wouldn't get an Xbox One.

A more pressing and relevant reason: The company themselves.

1) How can any sensible and self-respecting gamer/consumer trust and support Microsoft after what they tried to do less than 6 months ago. Are people really that stupidly forgiving to put on their blinders? The company had planned all this anti-consumer crap for years and years and despite them claiming not to have anticipated the reaction they got from gamers, they knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and had the many anti-consumer measures gone ahead as planned, we would've been screwed as gamers and consumers. Not for a generation, but forever.

2) DRM is still in the console at launch and requires a patch to remove it. This makes no one suspicious? Well, of course they are just insuring themselves to be able to bring it back. http://www.thesixthaxis.com...

3) They carry on making ridiculous and insulting statements like this to save face, when we all know the opposite: http://www.computerandvideo...
http://arstechnica.com/gami...
Telling people what they want, what is "ahead of them", and what's "best" for us isn't how you treat paying customers. You don't hide your product behind smoke and mirrors BS marketing campaigns and buzzwords like they've done for years and years. They didn't EVER explain any of their proposed ideas clearly enough for people to "get" them - and it was all overblown corporate spin from the start, and fanboys putting their own spin on it.

4) They have 90% of their features behind a paywall, including mostly free ones. This is insulting enough, but they recently they have claimed that the TV features that don't require XBL will not be behind the paywall. Meanwhile, 80 other features that don't require Gold, are still behind the paywall. This is disgraceful. http://gaminrealm.com/2013/... Who supports a company who even THINKS of doing this??

5) As a consumer, Microsoft have given you no choice but to pay an extra $100 for Kinect, something you may not want, and now we know for a fact that despite it supposedly being integral to the system and Microsoft coming out and saying that "Kinect IS the XB1", you can play games and use it without the $100 camera, the choice is even more obvious.

I hear the phrase "it's all about the games", and "true gamers play everything". But no. True gamers stand up for their rights and don't support sh*t companies, who don't have their best interests in mind, and especially don't try to screw you over. When any company is even considering system-wide DRM we should be worrying, but a company that tries to do it and smiles whilst telling you they're going to enjoy it? Instant anti-consumer disgrace. Refusing to support anti-consumer corporations is not illogical or fanboyish - it's the most logical thing you can do in this given scenario.

MicDude3881d ago

The thing is MS tried to do something different and it turned out to be extremely unpopular. MS changed their plan around because of this. MS had a vision and that vision required DRM and they told people that. That doesn't mean they tried to screw you. Screwing you would telling your customers "This console is DRM free" and you go home and turn it on...and there is DRM. (In which case MS cannot be trusted because they flat out lied.) You see what I mean?

Olympus3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

@mewhy32

A person who considers shooters and online competitive gaming more important. Lets face it, Xbone is superior in online gaming than PS4 with 300,000 dedicated servers and COD will utilize it and PS4 wont. Xbone is best for shooters. COD & BF4 map packs early on Xbone and Xbone is the only next gen console to get Titanfall...the next big thing.

Xbone also has best exclusives unlike PS4 which has too many indies that are not appealing and will come out for Xbone or already out for PC or will do. I don't think console gamer's buy console to play side scroll's and other indie crap that look as though they are designed for tablets, at-least most of them do.

U now have to pay to play online for PS4 which means they can be compared directly as everyone WILL have to pay and playing multiplayer is the most important feature of a console. Sure PSN+ u get indie and old games for free but on XBL u get "DEDICATED SERVERS." I can't stress the advantages for Xbone multiplayer games. No more lag as we know it. Bye Bye Peers to Peers, u complain about dying allot on COD...u now know u suck.

DigitalRaptor3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

"Bye Bye Peers to Peers"

So.... you've been paying for Xbox Live since 2002, and it has been using nothing but Peer to Peer connectivity since day one. *slowclap*. http://www.youtube.com/watc... Do you realise Sony has been using Dedicated servers for their first and second party deployment since the PS3 came out?? Do you realise Microsoft had just as many indies (and not big budget ones either) coming out for their 360? And you guys ate that up and used it as a bullet point as to why the 360 was better. Double standards.

You are exactly the bonehead type of consumer Microsoft is going for. There's been nothing but buzzword PR from Microsoft about 300,000 servers and their advantages, but you sit there and believe it, especially after everything Microsoft has said and done over the past few months? The straight up lies they spouted, and that were proven to be lies.
-

Developers of shooters were consulted for DS4, so it's a perfectly amazing controller for shooters. Timed exclusive DLC lasts for a month. Sony secures much more for its consumers. It has actual exclusive content that is FAR, FAR more than just map packs for shooters. http://www.vg247.com/2013/0...
-

Too many indies? Your statement has just proven how little you know or appreciate indie developers. More creative, original, unique and fun than most AAA games have the budget or support for. Do you realise that there is as much AAA shovelware than there are bad indie games? There we go.

PS4 exclusives: Killzone: Shadow Fall, DriveClub, Knack, inFamous: Second Son (stomps all Xbox exclusives we've seen so far in every category), The Order: 1886, Deep Down, and the inevitable Naughty Dog and Santa Monica productions that will stomp the competition. and that is where it begins.

Outlast, Rime, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Shadow of the Beast, A Machine For Pigs - just a brief overview and small selection of the bigger indie games that are getting AAA support and were designed for consoles/PC. And if you THINK they were designed for tablets, then BEST OF LUCK trying to play them on tablets, because the controls would flat out suck.

Try and play RESOGUN on a tablet (which would have a hard time running it) and you'd lose every time you tried to play. Try playing Spelunky on a touch interface, you'd die at all times, more than normal. These games need buttons.

DigitalRaptor3881d ago (Edited 3881d ago )

"PSN+ u get indie and old games for free"

See what I mean? You numbskulls know nothing about what you bash. Not even able to get the name of the service correct. Old games? How old are we talking? A year? Two years? That isn't old. Indie? There have been prolific AAA games on PS+ as much as indie games. Let me list a selection of the "old" AAA games for you:

Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution, Spec Ops: The Line, Uncharted 3, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Lego Lord of the Rings, Battlefield 3, Gravity Rush, Xcom: Enemy Unknown, Catherine, LittleBigPlanet 2, LittleBigPlanet Karting, Saints Row: The Third, Assassin's Creed III, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, inFamous 2, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Jak & Daxter Trilogy, PayDay: The Heist, Demon's Souls, Mortal Kombat, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdoms of Amalur – Reckoning, Lord of the Rings War in the North, Okami HD, Rayman Origins, Dead or Alive 5, Mass Effect 3, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

Yeah old games, and indie games. /s

"Titanfall... the next big thing"

Just like COD4 was, and look how that series turned out. Titanfall will be coming to PS4, and even the most insecure of Xbox fanboys know it. Historic trends pretty much tell it. PlanetSide 2 is pretty much as big and ambitious as Titanfall. Titanfall is new... that is all. PlanetSide 2 isn't, but it's a superb game that won't be coming to Xbox One. In fact, for all it's "DEDICATED SERVERS" i'd like to know if XB1 will even get a MMOFPS that can compare to the scale of PlanetSide 2.

Olympus3880d ago

@DigitalRaptor

When did i say i was using XBL since 2002. I own both system 360/ps3 and i have been a subscriber to live since 2006. MS have been using dedicated servers for first party and second party titles and it already has 15,000 dedicated servers powering Xbox 360 which all makes Xbox 360 a much better online service than PS3. If your referring to XBLA i don't give a fuck, i dont care about indies and XBLA games. Most Xbox 360 gamer's are mostly in it for shooter games as they make much of the sales in the industry.

You are $onybumboy, 3000,000 servers will allow dedicated servers and the Xbox service to improve significantly. Why is COD dedicated server on Xbone and not PS4? because Sony doesnt have the money or the servers to match Microsoft, Activision certainly wont pay for it.

Having a month or more of DLC is huge if u love shooter and online. Fans wanna play COD maps early and get the exclusives of FIFA on Xbone offers.

U said that PS4 exclusives will stomp all over Xbone. Aahahahaha lol, typical Sonybumboy. Xbone has hell of allot more and better AAA exclusives as apposed to Sony having mainly indie and free to play bullshit that u can get on PC for free.

Xbone exclusives such Crimson Dragon, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Titanfall, Halo 5, Dead Rising 3, D4, Killer Instinct, Quantum Break, Forza 5, Black Tusk project all are AAA games. See that i haven't mentioned crappy indie and other not so exciting games such as Below, project spark ect. Xbone kills PS4 in exclusives.

The $onybumboys told us that MS will have kinect games on E3 and no good exclusives lol and when E3 came, M$ showed us the goods. They showed us the best games, not even a kinect game in sight. lol $ony bumboys like urself said PS4 will use full 7GB RAM and now we know they will use less than 5gb and now no sony fanboys talk about this advantage lol. Sony's so called more powerfull in paper spec is gonna rape Xbone yet Xbone had the best looking game over all with more awards. I bet PS4 will not look much better than Xbox One. Look at PS3, it was supposedly more powerful than X360, yet most couldn't tell a difference. The original Xbox was more powerfull than PS2 and yet console gamer's couldn't tell. PS4 spec's mean nothing in real time performance.

All the games PSN gave for free are old games, i mean i played games like Uncharted 3 and BF3 back in 2011. Now its 2013 they are made free lol. Its pointless when games get old, they aren't worth much. I bet next gen they will give u more indie crap than AAA games. I rather have better online service with dedicated servers. Sony will never give u games that are year old, NEVER. Most of the games that have been made free are crap any ways. If i had PSN+ i wouldn't even touch most of them as i'm only interested in mostly playing online which will no longer be free for PS users.

Most of then games $ony will give free on PS+ for PS4 are indie crap and Driveclub aahahahaha lol and its not even a full copy of the game, just a down scaled nasty game.

Oh my god, not this MGS4 will come to Xbox 360 fiasco again. Titanfall will not come to PS4. M$ will make sure of that. M$ will have bags of cash to make sure it doesn't come out on PS4.

Olympus3880d ago (Edited 3880d ago )

Since COD 4, COD has outsold all games. Every game since then has hit 20 plus million. People continue to buy COD and it dominates most played on XBL/PSN. It will only take like for like game to conquer COD and Titanfall will be it...

Planetside 2 is a nasty game. I have a PC with intel i7 and Radeon 7850 and i can tell i have played free to play games like PS2 & Blacklight and they are crap. Free to play are nasty games and they truly not free. Especially planetside 2. Doesn't even come close to games such as Halo or COD.

Microsoft has listened to its costumers and got rid of the DRM bullcrap. At least they listened to the fans...why aren't $onybum boyz protesting about Sony charging for multiplayer online hey? maybe they will listen if they did.

Xbox One has COD timed exclusives with "DEDICATED SERVERS", FIFA exclusives, BF4 timed exclusives. Titanfall, Halo and Gears of War. In my account, Xbone has the best and most important franchises in gaming, Sony only has Uncharted which is only worth for its great campaign and multiplayer suck which is most important overall. Rest of the other exclsuives are not good at all. The best place to play competitive shooter online and FIFA. If u love shooter's and football, Xbox One is the best place to play ur games. Added to that, the last big exlcusive franchise that sony were known for.... Metal Gear Solid series will now come out for Xbox One. M$ have probably even brought some Exclsuives DLC stuff aswell.

The only thing stopping Xbox one killing PS4 is the price difference. I'm sure M$ will rectify this before or after launch.

try saying that to the apple crowd...

Its all marketing, both will be decent machines just like last gen. I chose ps3 last gen due to gran turismo, god of war, and blu-ray...... the other games came later on just like what happened to xbox.

PPL should really grow up, its gonna be very similar to arguments about who has more triple AAAAAAAAA titles like it means SOMETHING.

so 70% ps4, 30% xone sales

Kuse3882d ago

For that small margin of people it would seem like it.

user74029313882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

ps1 started the war ,ps2 made the terminator, ps3 got the chip from skynet, ps4 brings judgement day.

sigfredod3882d ago

lol perfect fit quotes you did bubbles up

YNWA963882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

In that case I hope no PS5! I'm scared now! :)

No, after judgement day, is wastelands, dead humans... and so on... did you not see the movies? Then I have to travel back and make love to a strange woman... ah this is too much.... I am getting both PS4 and Xbox1.. always have had both systems, I feel sad for those who take this too serious, really winning... are you counting? And to those who miss out on great games because its on the other system... that is sad.... Have a nice day ZHZ90

ZHZ903882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

PS5 will be a monster!

EDIT: You must be sad because you want Xbox One to win.

Anyways PS4 for me. :)

EDIT: I thought you are an Xbox Fanbiy because of One Bubble.
Anyways no I don't think I can also own another console but not intersted to own more than console right now why?
900$/Euros with games and taxes, clearly 400$/Euros is enough for me with games and taxes.

Have a nice day for throwing money away then you'll leave one of your least favor console collecting dusts.

sigfredod3882d ago

PS4 is dominating in the public opinion in all this events, the attendees not only respond PS4 but also add phrases like "of course" "all the way" lol

yellowgerbil3882d ago

ps4 is better. They system the games the image the message.
Greatness awaits my thumbs Nov 15th.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

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.

Christopher11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

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!

coolbeans10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

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.

Profchaos10h ago

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.

DedicatedDark9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

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

Barlos8h ago

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

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje8h ago

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?

Aphrodia14m ago

And what of the rights of the buyer? The ones that purchased this game with hard earned money? They bought a product that is now being changed into a different product. Surely you would stand up for them since you are about "rights"?

Christopher7m ago

***It's not their work to censor. ***

They own the IP. It's theirs too do with as they wish.

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

You got proof of this? And even if this were true, isn't it the developer right to want whatever an ESG score is?

***from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal. ***

Licensed music is always going to get changed unless they can afford to keep paying those fees sadly.

***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. ***

You do know in the original that the artwork is extremely pixelated so you can't even tell what it is, right? Shouldn't we then be arguing that they increased the detail of this artwork at all then? Why the remaster? Picasso got it right already with the original.

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.

Rebel_Scum11h ago

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.

Barlos8h ago(Edited 8h 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.

Rebel_Scum6h ago

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.

jambola5h ago

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

And Lara Croft is also a mass murderer everywhere she goes. Why didn't they patch that out as well? See, anyone can spew pedantic BS.

CrimsonWing690m ago

How is it not censorship? They are removing suggestive content due to not wanting to offend SJWs and woke people. They literally removed something already in the game that nobody even thought twice about just like a movie on cable television is edited for content… y’know, like literally removing scenes because of not wanting to offend a public audience? How is this different?

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.

Have fun falling off that cliff at the end of the slippery slope.

CobraKai7h 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.

Christopher6m ago

Just FYI, every game has that right.

Killer2020UK6h 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.

maykhausonninh6h ago

Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

My thinking is that the original artworks might be community created.

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.

MrBaskerville3h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
