Analog Addiction writes: "The next generation of gaming is almost here. Following an E3 that will be remembered for years to come, as we saw, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 fully revealed.
Gamescom will be the next main event for both Sony and Microsoft to showcase their next generation hardware and software line-up, before each consoles releases this holiday season. However, Nintendo will definitely be hopping to showcase its strong software line-up over the next few months, for both the 3DS and Wii U, while major publishers such as Ubisoft, EA, and many others will be looking to show the European market some of the latest projects and major announcements.
As with any event like this, many are speculating what will be announced, what games will be revealed, and what surprises are in store. We here at Analog Addiction are awaiting the August 21st-25th event with great anticipation, and to help ease our wait, we have decided to showcase our personal predictions for the upcoming event."
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
