Huh. It turns my TV on but not off..maybe I should re-do that setup.

Xbone seems to be getting an easy pass simply because it's a multimedia device now. Way to rate a video game console.. .. .. ..
I would have assumed the ps4 would get higher marks due to its native 1080p quality games right from the start, not to mention it's insane potential for the upcoming games throughout the coming years.. .. Kinda blind sided in a way personally. ..

NarcolepZZZZZZ3802d ago

I think its a gaming console. Nobody buys it for the sole purpose of paying for Xbox live to watch TV or Netflix. Nobody is paying 500 bucks for a good Skype camera. Those are handy features of the games console. I can't possibly imagine anybody buying it solely to snap their fantasy football on screen and nothing else. So that being said, why would it not be reviewed and ranked by all of its features insteadvof solely the gaming?

The Xbox does get extra marks for all the things it does, because those are things we find really useful and fun. It also plays games really well - Our PS4 review will be out this week but so far the only games I've really enjoyed on the PS4 are Resogun and War Thunder, Killzone really isn't a shining endorsement of the console, After playing both in my home I'd go so far as to say I think Ryse looks better than Killzone.

I think both consoles have a lot of potential, they're both doing some really cool things, the Xbox One has just impressed me a lot more than I thought it would while the PS4 seems like more of the same really.

How does it stack up to gaming? I see lots and LOTS of reviews that judge it based as a multimedia device. But this here's a gaming site, and the XB1 is supposed to be a gaming console.

hellzsupernova3802d ago

No it is not Microsoft was clear with their message, it's not a gaming console

TPSou3793d ago

Out of all the launch games DR3, Ryse and Forza are pretty much amazing, Killer Instinct is really good, the multiplatform games are all fine -> really good (I wish BF4 would stop crashing). The controller is great as ever and switching between games is really easy now. The achievement system is also better with little progress counters for everything (like if you have 101/150 collectables there's a little bar chart). So yeah, gaming is much as it has ever been with a few improvements, a lot of the multimedia functions are new and therefore exciting. The DVR function on both consoles is awesome.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5067d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5067d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5067d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495067d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5067d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5067d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
