I have a feeling they added this as an option for other countries as it's most likely going to be mandatory in Australia
Idk I've always kinda thought the mantle should go to Phil Harrison, but then I realized I was thinking of J Allard... to many bald suit wearing men at this company
EA: "We want to stop being hated"
And then this shit...
HA! This is gonna be hilarious when my friend Bob is gonna walk in when I'm playing Xbox and try what every Sony fanboy is saying "Xbox Off! Xbox Off! Xbox Off!"
And were all going to there and laugh at him :D
I have nothing against Mattrick sure he made some mistakes but why is no one pointing out the most obvious portion of this? Is Zynga really worth saving?
Well people are going to have to start weighing whether Online only games are for them are not.
Keep in mind I WHOLY agree that Darkspore and SimCity should NOT be always online.
But with that being said, some games HAVE to be. Take for example League of Legends their is absolutely no way that game could ever be offline. But I've spent over 200$ on it and have come to terms with the fact that if Riot were to ever shut down the servers (Not that it's a...
It's a really great game. You won't be disappointed! :D
Yeah! I mean Origin allows you to buy copies of games for your 360 and Ps3 (granted they're physical copies. But if they allowed Origin and Steam to have apps in the X1 it wouldn't be such a closed market and as always competition is better for consumers. They could truly extend beyond the capabilities of the X1 by open up the platform for other services to pave the way.
Specs only matter when they get in the way of a designers vision. If a console isn't powerful to deliver the experience a developer wants then yes it matters. But if you're just trying to pump out more pixels just for the sake of it then well you're an idiot.
Aesthetics > Graphics
Oh yeah EA has done plenty of shitty things with it's Origin. Hell once I bought the Battlefield "Complete Collection"... only to find out it was JUST the DLC but thankfully they refunded it.
And in terms of always online, it's not inherently wrong but you need to give your customers reasons why. I mean theirs no real reason SimCity has to be always online, and while Diablo 3 had a good reason to be always online (to make sure you weren't creating illega...
Wait Darkspore has issues?!?! When did this ever happen? Was it after the game was essentially a mod of an already shitty game? No? Or how about it was the studios first real attempt at a game of this genre after being kept in the dark during development about what the publisher wanted? No. Yeah it was deffinetly the cloud service that failed... not everything else around it.
The gamerscore system could almost be an alternative to the what Gamersgate.com does with it's blue coins.
But I'll tell ya the ONE thing Microsoft can do with their power and instantly put themselves above and beyond any other platofrm (even as a PC gamer) is to open up the market. Have the ability to buy your games from Steam or Origin. Have competing platforms on the Xbox so prices get driven down.
Glad they're learning but if they wanna offer the same on paper value as PS+ they're gonna have to go with a temporarily free thing to offer more games at once. Perhaps a mixture of free while you subscribe and like 1 permanently free game.
To think that letting Sony run only opposed by Nintendo would be good for the industry is stupid. I'm sorry I usually talk in a respectful manner towards others on this site, but you sir are a blind fan boy piece of shit.
You clearly don't understand the issue at hand... it's not in terms of appropiate content like sex, violence or profanity, it's a matter of where you put said content.
While massively scaled worlds are important, it's those intimate and dynamic details that make them come alive. To paint on the canvas of an open world is to utilize the contrast between populated areas and emptiness to get a good thematic feel for the world. And to this date I feel only Red Dead Redemption has achieved this. But with Hideo Kojima giving his hand at it, I'm very excited to see how the japenese game design philosophy of "the power in ones self" effects how th...
No words can describe how truly excited I am for this game.
You missed the point, but at the same point you proved my point.
Sure that's one way to implement it, but most gamers like you have a very linear thought process about games... hence why you're not a game developer. Developers will see the technology and build new and exciting ways to interact with the medium. Guarantee you all that if I told you we have the technology to detect heart beats you'd all think "That's stupid" but a developer will use th...
Would love to see Spotify get an app on Xbox soon.
I'll be getting the X1 now, because well Killer Instinct and the interesting integration of Kinect in Ryse (Hint hint I love game with squad commands like Rainbow Six so to be able to actually call out to my squad is more than exciting). But also cause I'm not a huge fan of most Sony exclusives. Never been a big fan of God of War. Killzone had some atmospheric charm that I liked but I just couldn't get into it. The Order looks ok but I keep getting flash backs of Resistance... *sh...
