5 Reasons It’s Still Worth Buying Video Game Consoles At Launch

Here’s five reasons you don’t necessarily need to feel bad about wanting to buy an Xbox One or PS4 this year.

And hardcore gamers like me, a sony camp member will get the system of their choice at launch :3

It's never worth it unless you're a passionate diehard gamer. Other there you're going to want to wait until the library gets bigger.

...or unless hardware manufacturer has pulled yet another Wii, where the console was so original and interesting that it was a race to buy it at launch.

It's too subjective.. I prefer to wait a few months until the hardware have been tested out and i'm more confident it won't have many bugs.. only then i'll buy the best console this gen IMO.. the PS4.

Same here. Not getting my PS4 till late Janurary. Let the diehards guinea pig it until then.

I'd rather wait till there's more games. Both launch lineups are pretty bad, only two games(Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3) between both systems that I would buy, even then I'm still not sure I'd get a Xbox One until they do a non Kinect version.

From looking at the gameplay, it just looks like Fortnite, this would have been very poorly received by timesplitters fans.

Another legendary series that ends brutally.. glad this never came out, it’s an insult to the original one

Neonridr45d ago

I'm glad this got cancelled, what's with the Fornite knockoff? TimeSplitters was an FPS, not a 3rd person battle royale.

What were they thinking?

Looks fornitey would've been cool at the time tbh

I got into a minor disagreement with their staff shortly after the closure, after i commented about a Timesplitters HD remaster to gauge public reception before such a big project here:

Looking at the gameplay footage, it's clear that the staff (no matter what level) we're out of their depth, putting lots of hours into a game that would of been DOA if Embracer didn't shut it down.

CantThinkOfAUsername44d ago

They removed the footage. Here it is if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/BesmfPD8fj...

It's basically a Fortnite clone. Seems like a good decision to cancel this game.

That's not time splitters I enjoyed as a kid/teen!!!

Wtf was that!

To be honest the odds of this ever being good or recapturing the original trilogy were always going to be slim to none. The franchise was a product of its time. Look at how misplaced nostalgia met reality with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. If you have to use old IP then most of the time you have to completely reinvent it from the ground up.
