GamePro issued out grades for all consoles alive and well today. Lets only focus on and summarize what they had to say about the next-gen machines, since that's what all of us will be playing the next few years. Are you ready to find out which earns the best grade? It's name doesn't start with a "P".
The Witcher 3 released a special item for its 10th anniversary, and it's hopefully a sneak peek at The Witcher 4's launch plans.
The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.
I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.
Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.
That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.
Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.
Vapourware can end up being the stuff of legend, like Rockstar's Agent, Star Wars 1313, or StarCraft: Ghost. Without ever seeing the light of day, these games never risked the possibility of being played and forgotten, and instead live on forever as the subjects of lengthy YouTube essays.
Still, Molyneux's most notable lost game (or tech demo, depending on who you asked at the time) was arguably Project Milo.
I can see the potential of the kinect hardware... its rather impressive tech, but it was just not meant to be for gaming. If anything, MS had a huge missed opportunity to have used it for the AR/VR projects.
You can use the Kinect as an SLS camera for paranormal investigations. So it wasn’t a complete failure.
Remember Star Wars Kinect announcement? Biggest laughable acting seen
"Unfortunately, as we were developing Milo, so the Kinect device was being developed. And they realised that the device that Alex Kipman first showed off would cost $5,000 for consumers to buy.
"So they cost-reduced that device down to such a point, where the field-of-view...I think it was a minuscule field-of-view. In other words, it could only just see what's straight in front of you."
Hmm, exactly what tech was in it, that was cut, affected the development? It was only ever interpreting visual and audio inputs right? The xbox was processing those inputs.
Nor do I see how the field of view thing is relevant to the discussion.
Exactly! Tf kinda BS statement was that? i don't really see how fov is relevant at all, since when do you move all around a room while talking/interacting to someone?
This is entirely untrue. There was never a 5000 dollar Kinect prototype that could somehow use a wider field of view to scan and import generated in-game items and advance AI by over a decade. Anybody that fell for this was a stupid moron child, myself included. Anybody that falls for this lie now is a stupid moron child who doesn't realize that these people *only* know how to lie.
Sora might be one of the most hyped guest characters in fighting games, but these other guest characters are no slouch either.
C/C+ for Innovation on 360 and PS3? What?
I certainly don't think that category was very fair, it seemed to be a direct plus for only the Wii as it has motion control.
Meh, the grading isn't the best in general.
and a superior online experience of course XBOX 360 gets the highest rankings.
It has the largest games library of all 3 consoles and is also the most diverse. With Halo3, Bioshock and Mass Effect just around the corner. As well as the best versions of all sports games such as Madden, NCAA, NHL 08, and All-Pro.
The pricepoint is also fair at $350 to start your HD and online gaming experience.
The 360 has low rankings for hardware but Microsoft has rectified these problems with the new "falcon" 65nm chips as well as all new 360s coming with a new larger heatsink on the GPU. And all previous customers will benefit from the extended 3 yr warranty to get the upgraded parts at no expense out of their own pockets.
Its too soon to choose the best console
Nice find but terrible scores. No way on earth for Wii to get B. Wii deserves D at the most (and F IMO).
why does 360 got a b- on price and ps3 got a c- when 360 is more expensive because if i want to get a 360 which is $400 here in canada for premium then i need to get the freaking wireless adapter because microsoft such a greedy bastard and dont include it for $129 then play & charge kit for $30 (this is canadian price) comes to a total of $560 without xbox live subscription and other crap. ps3 price is $550 and comes with all the stuff you need and i got a lot more for it: blu-ray, 40gb more space, and free online.
