They've changed the name? So... basically this was a real lawsuit after all?

LOL..I enjoyed that..nice to break up the console wars with humor..just loved it :)

JokesOnYou3839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

3-4-5 Perhaps we will see games doing that in a couple years but even just improving AI, environments, and localizing games to run better depending on geographic location seems certainly possible right now. Hers is a good breakdown on their intentions for those interested.

edit, my bad meant to reply to 3-4-5 below

@JokesOnYou
Can't that already be done with just about any hardware?

I mean, like Forza, where it plays the way you play and adjust.
I've been playing games that did that before.
I don't see why you'd need servers for that identify your gaming tactics. Still cool.

I'm sure they have great plans ahead of them.

3-4-53839d ago

So basically they want to make games 1.5x more powerful than what the XB1 can actually do, and then stream that to your XB1/tv and let you play it like that.

It sounds like how you can play PS4 games on your Vita, even though the Vita doesn't have the hardware capable of delivering PS4 type graphics, it can stream the game to your device.

Now I understand what they mean by " Last consoles ever"....

If your console out of 1-10 is a 5 in power, they can make games that are 7, too powerful for the XB1 to handle, but then stream them to your tv via the box and let you play Max settings PC games graphics on your Xb1.

Lets see if they can pull it off.

I cannot wait for Sunset Overdrive!!! Seems to be the first game that will be sporting the "living-world" term. Cannot wait!

malokevi3839d ago

Thats one of my most anticipated games atm. I know we haven't seen any gameplay, but the concepts sound awesome.

Convas3839d ago

The Sunset Overdrive trailer was running in-engine according to an Insomniac Dev on NeoGAF.

RuleNumber53839d ago

Definitely sounds great. I just hope it's not one of those games that has big ideas, but doesn't deliver. Insomniac does good stuff though.

CRAIG6673839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

Sunset Overdrive,quantum break and Titanfall are the 3 games I am most interested in for next year, I just can'y understand all the X1 negativity... oh wait, I can - fanboys.

Halo 5 too - obvs.

3-4-53839d ago

Nobody talks about it but Sunset overdrive was the game that really caught my attention outside of BF 4 and spark.

It sounds as if titles that they have a strong feeling about would get carte blanche in terms of cloud computing access. Halo 5 is going to be one that they'll pull out all the stops with, guaranteed. It'd be nice to see multiplayer matches in Halo get bumped up from 16 players.

heliumhead20303839d ago

Expect halo 5 to be a huge departure from the series mp wise. Crysis meets battlefield forsure

hankmoody3839d ago

Between that and Titanfall... I can't even process the excitement that's brewing. 343i is gonna make a killer game with Halo 5. I loved Halo 4 and they've been quoted as saying that they know what areas of the multiplayer they need to work on. Can't wait.

CRAIG6673839d ago

I would rather they went somewhere between reach and 3, Halo 4's multiplayer got boring pretty quick for me personally, it was good but 3 and reach didn't leave my disc drive for months.

heliumhead20303839d ago

I agree halo 4 mp got boring pretty fast. But the campaign and just overall feel of the game completely refreshed my excitement for the series. I Don't think they will go back to the older halo style of games simply because I feel they want to really give you the Feeling of superhuman ability.

cell9893839d ago

yeah sure Halo, but without Bungie it'll never return to its former glory

heliumhead20303839d ago

Halo 4 is easily the best halo

cell9893839d ago

um no Halo 2 was, and you know it, stop lying to your self like that to prove a point

Irishguy953839d ago

Agree'd, well...I agree that they can never beat Halo and being Bungies Halo, but there's a chance they could make a better game than Halo, Halo 4 certainly wasn't one of the better ones.

hankmoody3839d ago

I don't know, man. I feel like 343i did a superb job with the last one. I think we'll know for sure depending on the next one.

More marketing bluff by Microsoft

strickers3839d ago (Edited 3839d ago )

Onlive was tested inferior to Gaikai pre PS. Look up Digital Foundry tests. If anyone thinks cloud can compensate for hardware..... Dream on. Long way off for few and even further for most.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro5h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B3h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21833h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh3h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia3h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins3h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal2h ago

The first game was the best imo.

Hades 2 Is Already Fixing The First Game's Biggest Problems

Ben Sledge from TheGamer Writes "I’m already impressed with Supergiant’s commitment to improving body diversity in the Hades 2 technical test."

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho517h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise6h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19896h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows905h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno5h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA4h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
