So a couple of days ago we at AGR covered the hard drive issues that some of us may experience sooner or later regarding the new set of consoles on the way later this month.
Now its time to talk about the one thing you’ll probably be using just as much as the consoles themselves. The controller.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
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.
I've had hands on with the DS4 and before I seen/used it, I seen it online and everyone was talking about how much larger it is. It is very close to the DS3 size and would have said its a small increase to its size not its larger. It does feel good and seems to be made stronger or less breakable. I am impressed with it, which is something I wasn't so sure about because of the touchpad.
I haven't seen or used the XB1 controller in person yet and only seen it in online videos and such. It looks good but the video with seller and him saying the RT and RB are too close and causes me for concern. I should be checking one out in the next few days though and be able to see for myself if its a problem. I hate the fact about the batteries and don't get me started on those charger kit things as they were garbage on my 360. I think that maybe my biggest problem with the new controller seeing how they fixed the dpad
The DS4 is a true next generation controller from my personal hands on. Best I've ever used
I can't believe someone wrote an article comparing the next gen controllers without even using them. FYI the author has only used the DS4. Lol
I'm not too sure i would enjoy littering my house with AA batteries & turn to a battery scavenger like i did with my 360. DS4 for me.
Haven't had the chance to try out the Xbone controller. But the Ds4 feels so right, everything about it is just done right and I'm happy to say, it's probably my all time favourite controller. Been using it non stop since I bought it last week.
