I don't think Microsoft knows how many units they will have (which explains why we have had no release date yet). We have just had them scaling back the launch for a lot of regions (they said it was software related but me thinks it was to ensure more units to other regions). If it was them waiting for Sony to make a move we should have word by the end of the week. They could be doing it as late as possible to one up Sony but they need to inform the public and publishers as soon as possible.

Also if the rumoured pre-orders are running out for Microsoft's Xbox One, releasing a week or two before the PS4 would have no effect as the system would have sold out anyway

abzdine3893d ago

I dont really care when it releases cause i'm not getting it, but could have been honest from them for the first time since may 21st to tell their fans how long they will exactly have to wait.
i think this is complete disrespect towards their fan base.

Sitdown3893d ago

Obviously you do care, cause you are here making off the wall claims. My goodness...so if you don't give a launch date you are being disrespectful. If you have so much disgust for Microsoft why are you always so quick to seek out articles concerning them....do you feel this is your civic duty?

nukeitall3893d ago (Edited 3893d ago )

@abzdine:

I find it funny, Sony just finally announced their release date so "MS is being disrespectful for not announcing their date yet"!

Wonder if you would have said that 1 or 2 days ago!!!

Then again, it is you and we know your agenda!

abzdine3893d ago

@nukeitall: i have to agree with you :) but what you dont understand is that Gamescom is over and they still haven't revealed their release plans. you dont know how my reaction would have been if Sony didn't announce the PS4 date at their conference but i would have been annoyed and i would have thought the same.
i prefer Sony consoles that's a thing, but Sony not communicating info with their fans when they had to would have been a bad thing for me.

The_Con-Sept3893d ago

It will not matter to consumers if they decide to launch it from right this second to next year. I'm still buying a PS4 on November 15th, 2013.

OC_MurphysLaw3892d ago

So according to @abzdine Sony was disrespecting their fans up until 2 days ago. LOGIC FAIL

It amazes me that people are ready and willing to buy a console with so much uncertainty behind it. I mean, theres not even a release date yet? Im not buying the One at launch, but the people who pre-ordered must be thinking "WTF is going on?!"

Gazondaily3893d ago

Well I have pre-ordered it and I'm just waiting to hear from MS. Sony only announced the release date for the console two days ago so I don't see the urgency of releasing a date just yet.

Sitdown3893d ago

Ahhh man, what's going on.... I don't know the exact day in November the system is going to launch. Hopefully Microsoft will do a 180 and follow Sony by giving us a date. Thanks Sony for being such a trend setter by giving is a date only 2 days ago. Haha... seriously, get out of here.... sounds like you ate more concerned about the Xbox one than people who actually plan on purchasing one.

QuickdrawMcgraw3893d ago

We get it,now Sitdown and relax.

LOGICWINS3893d ago

I'm getting an Xbox One, not at launch, but I'm getting one. I am genuinely concerned for the people buying at launch because Microsoft should be doing everything they can to please them..that includes a speedy announcement of a release date.

OC_MurphysLaw3892d ago

@LOGICWINS ...why are you genuinely concerned? We know its November, that seems like enough right now for planning purposes. I mean it is August 22nd. So 2+ months to give an exact date on when I need to pick up but I do know it will be in November.

Not sure I am understanding the sense of urgent concern.

burkusmaximus3891d ago

Dude you sound like a fucking troll rolled into one huge douche-bag..get laid loser. Nobody really cares when they come out, we just want to play them b4 the year is out. Derp

I pre-ordered it doesn't bother me when it releases just as long as it does eventually so I can play some forza 5.

Pascalini3893d ago

400 pound isn't much of a gamble for next gen

My ipad cost 500 so I don't see why people think it's a huge risk - if you didn't like it I'm sure you could sell it for the same amount at Xmas with the shortages

jay23893d ago

Most of it's on the camera, most games are multi plat, £350 vs £430 is the difference off 2 games + Driveclub vs fifa, which is a download anyway, so for and xbox one and 2 games and fifa(which you'll most likely need GOLD for anyway is, so add £40 to the prices). will cost £550 vs £430. What would you do, PS4, Driveclub and 2 games for £430-40 or XBO, XBLG, 2 games and fifa for £550?

AngryEnglish3893d ago

most games are multiplat?

I`m sorry where is the release dates on the PS4 for:

TitanFall, Quantum Break, Dead Rising, Forza 5, Killer Instinct, Project Spark, Sunset Overdrive, Ryse: Son of Rome... Just to name a few

and your cost scenario adds in xbox live but not PS+, your also comparing a stripped down Driveclub to a full retail version of fifa, now if you decided to do this correctly it would be PS4, +,DC, 2 other games it would be approximately $604 with tax, The X1, With Camera, Ki, Fifa full retail edition(or whatever comes in the usa), Gold, and 1 other game comes to $663, that is with the same games 2 full retail games, one free to play stripped down game, a $59 difference... if you have a day one xbox you get a year of live for free.... if you already have + or gold then remove $54 from the PS4 price and $64 from the xbox, that makes it a $45 difference, both consoles are priced very similar for what your getting, hence why i pre ordered both, cant miss out then

Sitdown3893d ago

Are you sure there is a free year of xbox live, I missed that article.....can you post a link please.

Dmagic3893d ago

@AngryEnglish we all know titanfall and sunset will be multiplats no brainers.

No_Limit3893d ago (Edited 3893d ago )

Xbox One on One One One {ie..11-1} sounds like a good marketing ploy.

Anyways, it will be in my entertainment unit in November, so I will be here waiting whenever it is released. Can't wait.

iamnsuperman3893d ago

No offence but that sounds terrible. It sounds like the One has a stutter.

The Meerkat3893d ago

What about 11.11.13 so that it also works in Europe?

Either that or they delay the European launch until the 11th of January.

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 Souls5063d ago

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

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d 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.

ClownBelt5063d 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-Pyro5063d 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.

Anon73495063d 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.

RedDevils5063d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

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