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 :)

JokesOnYou3837d ago (Edited 3837d 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.

3-4-53837d 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!

malokevi3837d ago

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

Convas3837d ago

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

RuleNumber53837d 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.

CRAIG6673837d ago (Edited 3837d 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.

3-4-53837d 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.

heliumhead20303837d ago

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

hankmoody3837d 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.

CRAIG6673837d 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.

heliumhead20303837d 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.

cell9893837d ago

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

heliumhead20303837d ago

Halo 4 is easily the best halo

cell9893837d ago

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

Irishguy953837d 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.

hankmoody3837d 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

strickers3837d ago (Edited 3837d 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.

Sea of Thieves Welcomes 40 Million Players

Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"

Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.

would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.

Obscure_Observer4h ago

Epic milestone!

After 6 years and 40 Million players, the people on N4G who called DOA on SoT must be feeling pretty stupid right now.

Especially considering that *right now* Sea of Thieves is leading Playstation Store´s pre-order charts ahead of the freaking Stellar Blade. O.o

Congratulations to everyone at RARE and Team Xbox

Sea Of Thieves’ Release On PS5 Is Reportedly The Game Microsoft Is Closely Looking At Regarding Future Xbox Titles Coming To PlayStation https://www.psu.com/news/se...

Obscure_Observer3h ago

Personally, I wouldn´t complain if Killer Instinct makes its way to the PS5 and Switch.

Lightning772h ago

Sea Of Thieves seems to be doing well and if Grounded gets new players on PS then we can see more LS game from MS hitting PS. Including the State Of Decay games probably even the new one.

Pentiment did nothing on both Xbox and PS. Hi Fi didn't do anything through tbh I think most ppl who bought Hi Fi already have in Xbox and PC.

Zenimax is gearing up for a new game that'll be multiplatform.

LS and MMO types games seem to be the target for multiplatform release.

The game was trash at release. Microsoft didn't even deny it.

darthv721h ago

key words: "at release"... it isnt anymore. its quite robust.

rippermcrip1h ago

Yes Darth, at release is exactly what I was responding about. The troll was suggested that everyone who trashed the game at the beginning was wrong. They weren't, it sucked.

Just like Skull and Bones is got hammered. Whether Ubisoft turns it around, it still is terrible now.

Good on Microsoft for sticking to it, but it should have been delayed. They have done shit for Redfall like they promised. Starfield has received no major updates that they promised would come in February.

darthv7226m ago

I get what you are saying, however it no longer applies because the PS5 version "at release" is already a more complete experience. That is what people should be taking away. If you want... consider the time between releases on XB and PS as the delay you say it should have had. The game was delayed 6 years before release on PS5.

i think those who are open to it are in for a real treat.

-Foxtrot1h ago

I could literally not give a shit how many players it has or what console it’s on

It was bad at launch, plain terrible, a shallow barren unfinished feeling game and that’s how I’ll remember it because I want to be impressed you know, at launch.

No Man’s Sky and Fallout 76 are the same

It’s still not up there with Rare’s past work

Sonic188116m ago

Cyberpunk 2077 as well even though I love the game now
