Really depends.
I love next gen for the quality of the tech.. Super Fast UI ..No load screens and great online network stability

For these reasons I say yes its worth the upgrade

Chuk53936d ago

Yup.

I think Destiny is the best time this year to make the leap, because after destiny there will be even more cross gen games that simply falter on old gen like DA:Inquisition, Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4, Advanced Warfare, etc.

This video does no justice to current gen hardware. We're looking at a video with one viewpoint. If you sit down and play both, It's hands down worth it to upgrade.

"This video does no justice to current gen hardware. We're looking at a video with one viewpoint. If you sit down and play both, It's hands down worth it to upgrade"

The magic words right there, the smoothness in the new gen is far better in performance then that of last gen, I'd suggest for those who want the game and don't own a new gen, to wait it out and save up a bit.

Muerte24943936d ago

The question is it worth ($400)Xbox One purchase? Yes, if you're getting rid of you Xbox360 and your library of games. No, if you're just going to buy the Xbox One outright for Destiny.

BattleAxe3936d ago

After playing the PS3 beta for a few nights, I can say that honestly, no, the next gen upgrade is not worth it. Bungie has done such a great job on the PS3 version of the game, that everyone I talk to who has played it on the PS3 has loved it. I'm sure it will be no different on the 360.

Also, if you're a 360 owner, you get to play Titanfall, Watch_Dogs, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Destiny, GTS5 BF4, CoD: Advanced Warfare, Far Cry 4 ect...ect... so as far as I'm concerned, it's not worth it at this point in time to buy a new console.

No load screens? I'm pretty sure the Xbox One version will have load screens. Also, I'm sure the network will be just fine on the 360 version.

PONTIAC08G8GT3936d ago

I don't think any 1 game is worth buying a new system for unless it's exclusive to either the X1 or PS4. Like if you were a diehard racer and you wanted Forza 5, had to buy next gen. I don't think Titanfall was a must own on X1 cause you could get it on X360. The game to me is a must own but didnt necessarily mean you had to have an X1. I think Desinty is the same way. Buy a system for ALL that the system does.

AngelicIceDiamond3936d ago

Just by watching that the X1 version looks much better than the 360 version.

NatureOfLogic_3936d ago

Not really. Imo It's definitely not worth the upgrade. The game is not really graphically impressive.

Ares84HU3936d ago

You obviously haven't seen the game on a next gen system than. It looked pretty impressive to me.

afterMoth3936d ago

At least the people who forgot to put their glasses on are consistent. They can't see the difference between the PS4 and Xbox One and they can't see the difference between the Xbox One to 360.

Kiwi663936d ago

So does that apply to the ps4 version seeing as you say "the game is not really graphically impressive "

ThanatosDMC3936d ago

It really isnt graphically amazing on the PS4 but then again i expected more.

PONTIAC08G8GT3936d ago

I've got to agree. I'm playing on X1 right now and the graphics aren't mind blowing. To me, graphics aren't all that important as long as the gameplay is there and it's fun. I don't think Titanfall was visually impressive but I love playing it. But I really don't think Destiny is "next gen" looking. Better then 360? Yes. I've watched The Division gameplay a bunch of times and that looks next gen to me. All matter of opinion though.

I consider Destiny an 8th gen game, not a 7th. To me, PS3 and 360 versions don't exist.

Also, everyone and their mums are doing comparison videos of starring at the wall in the game.. ????

Clown_Syndr0me3936d ago

I really think its not. Ive only played the beta on my PS4, havent bothered with it on X1. The game is very mediocre IMO, I wouldnt upgrade consoles for it.
However I would (and have) upgraded my consoles for lots of other reasons.

Artista 3936d ago

is there any game you actually like? ^_^

Drekken3936d ago

He has clowns syndrome. Be happy he can even type to us.

Clown_Syndr0me3936d ago

Haha yeah, I think Wolfenstein is the most underhyped game this gen so far, its pure gold IMO.
I like most games I play, I just have alot of criticisms as well. I don't dislike Destiny, I just don't think its anything special.

Funantic13936d ago

Destiny does suck...not the worst but not the best.

dmeador3936d ago

Its definitely is worth the jump to THIS gen. Played the beta on my PS3 and liked it, but was really wondering if I wanted to drop the $60 for it. Then I played it on my X1, and knew I'd pull the trigger.

Much improved.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast243d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_243d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981243d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140243d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85243d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj243d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman243d ago (Edited 242d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake242d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn242d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg242d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07242d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Knightofelemia242d ago

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom242d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac242d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake242d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark242d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde242d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125242d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
