So Emily Rogers, some Nintendo insider who has been on the money several times recently said that there would be a new Paper Mario announced soon. Neat or whatever.
Now she's claiming Earthbound 3 is coming west via Wii U Virtual Console, so I will slap her if she's wrong and playing with my heart right now. |

Genre has been done to death.

So fucking what? It's tons better than any of the CoD shit put out today. CoD II STILL stands the test of time, to be completely honest.
There are a lot of unexplored areas as well. A more Pacific based campaign would be great. Obviously still have the beach landings, but as more of an underscore. |
Homefront beta code for xbox one? Anyone?

I am very interested in that.

Usually anything brand new from Ubisoft is an instant home run.
With the rare dud here and there. The most recent being Watch Dogs. Here's hoping for something interesting at E3. |
Watch Dogs wasn't even bad. It just didn't live up to the trailers.
|
Also, super hyped for wildlands.
|
Nah, Watch_Dogs was a joke. Poor gameplay, a map rammed full of boring content and collectables like any newer Assasins Creed, some of the more unlikeable characters in gaming history all wrapped up in the worst plot imaginable.
Aiden: My nephew was killed Hacker Girl: Come meet me some place Aiden: I never see your identity but now I do even thought it's 15 minutes into the game lol Hacker Girl: Hai I am girl Aiden: lol let's work together Hacker Girl: k btw I killed your nephew Aiden: Fuk u -minutes pass- Aiden: I 4give u bby because u were only following orders Hacker Girl: ily bbz oh I'm dead now Aiden: whoops lol It got to the point where I actively avoided UbiSoft for the start of the generation because it just seemed like they thought people loved AC for the wrong reasons and it infected all their games like towers to uncover the map. Not hyped for Ghost Recon yet, but Division is shaping up alright, For Honor looks fucking great and South Park too. They might hit top form again. |
Dogs was way too over hyped. Got it way after and it wasn't terrible. It was basically just unlock the map, do random missions etc. . I liked punching people so they wouldn't call the cops on me. I ended up at the worst possible ending because I played it like a lunatic. Story was shit but I was re-watching Lost at the same time as playing it So, I had story playing the game. Just not Watchdogs.
|
Completely agree, Watch Dogs just felt like AC in a different setting, was completely underwhelmed by it. The hacking aspect was interesting at first but got old quick.

Mmmm. 6.4 million played The Division.
That number should make the boys at Bungie nervous a bit. And put them on notice to up their game (literally) soon. |
I'm sure they're gonna watch closely as Destiny 2 is in development now. To be honest there's some things they could learn from GTAOnline as well, but Division really is the closest analogous game to theirs.
The Darkzone (their version) would be fascinating in Destiny context. |
Today's News:
1) For those who had problems connecting to Xbox Live the past few days, a hacker group called New World Hackers claimed responsibility for waves of DDoS attacks which went as far as to affect the ability to play offline/single player games. The group claims they did it as a form of protest over the lack of server security by major companies but also hinted at nefarious reasons as well. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/dd...nts/1100-5403/ 2) SALES & FREEBIES:
3) Ubisoft considering the idea of using The Division as gameplay inspiration for future Assassin Creed games and the new Snowdrop Engine as the basis for it. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...s-creed-games/ 4) The developer of Ori and the Blind Forest, Thomas Mahler, recently lashed out at Nintendo for being too secretive in regards to the NX's development and warned it could lead to 3rd parties being less willing to support the platform. His main problems involve the lack of devkits currently available and the rumored mid-to-late 2016 launch date. http://www.destructoid.com/ori-dev-n...x-344003.phtml |
All these hacker groups that claim to do these ddos attacks for altruistic reasons are all full of shit. They do it just to make themselves feel important. That's all.
|
We should shoot a hacker in the face to make an altruistic point about ducking.
|
I don't know much about DDoS attacks, but I gather it's when they (somehow) send so much traffic to a website it can't handle it and it crashes. How does this work with a service like Xbox Live? Aren't Xbox's the only thing that connect to it? They surely couldn't simulate millions of different Xbox's connecting at once?
|
Quote:
|
Going to assume the same but on a much larger scale since it has to attack a lot of servers at once to cause anything significant to happen. Also going to assume how apps connect or use Live might be the same way hackers are able to attack the service since both are coming from the outside.
Since the Xbox One is a lot more online-oriented than the Xbox 360, makes sense that a DDoS attack would hurt it a lot more. Especially if those same attacks can go as far as making it not possible to launch games without going completely offline. |

Yves Guillemot met with Canadian officials to gather support and to look around for some investors. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repor...ticle28920702/ |
Is Vivendi still related to Blizzard at all? Or did they "break up" before Blizzard teamed up with Activision
I forget/don't care that much about what billionaires are friends |
I didn't catch it in the Direct, but did they say if Sun/Moon are (or are not) coming out for the 3DS? They didn't ambiguously leave the possibility of it coming out on NX or something out there did they?

Don't really care to see a WWI battlefield. Would rather they follow COD's lead and go futuristic. Maybe a sequel to 2142, which is an underappreciated entry in the series.

So long as they find a way to retain the gameplay with 90yo tech and weapons as a template.

At the moment, Vivendi currently owns more stock than Ubisoft's founders (15% vs 9%), Ubisoft rejected two recent offers for Gameloft (highest being $663 million), and Ubisoft is scrambling to find new investors to fight off the attempts. http://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-p...r-345520.phtml 3) Newest Nintendo NX rumors includes the controller featuring advanced feedback support, console architecture is very close to the PS4 and Xbox One while dev kits allow almost zero work needed for porting games, and is heavily influenced by mobile gaming for social media support. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...le-unexpected/ 4) Sony announced they are discontinuing support for the Playstation TV after a little over two years on the market in Japan and a little over a year in the West. http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...dead-at-age-2/ http://www.gamespot.com/articles/pla.../1100-6435193/ |
Yep.
How's Playstation Now doing? Did that ever pick up steam? They should just change that over to a year subscription thing or a small add-on fee for PS+ users. |
Think they've recently added a lot of games for it but probably like a lot of things with the Playstation name tact on, not doing that well either or else they would have boasted about its success a lot by now.
Think it also lost a lot of luster once Microsoft started their own backwards compatibility-like program for the Xbox One and it being free. |
|
Bleh.
Depending how this unfolds, I may just go back to PC gaming and stay there forever. |
Or get one of the good consoles.
PC gaming is in a strange limbo at the moment where requirements are all over the place. Compatibility seems to be having a bad time in the last year too. |
Your usage of "good" is subjective. Nothing wrong with the One and I would still, to this day, take it over the PS4 because I couldn't care less if all games are 1080p 60fps and w/e the hell else everyone raves about.
|
Why?
|
I use it for much more than gaming and it serves very well as a single box with multiple, great usage. More reliable network and better offerings IMO.
|
It didn't occur to me you already had a One for some reason (my stupidity). I don't think it's an entirely terrible console, I just think it's a dropped ball in a series of dropped balls by MS. The stuff moving to PC as Xbox 'apps' is messy and it's clear they don't want to be in the console business any more but they're married to it.
|
At first I was all for PS4 when Xbox made their now famous E3 show. Then they backpedaled on some things and won me over.... but it was literally down to the moment I was standing in the store.
I don't regret the decision, but the future as they spelled it out (at least on the Surface) sounds awful. |
Honestly bought my Xb1 at the wrong time. They just waited for me to jump in and then go "Fuck it, everythings on PC now".
|
Think Microsoft had been hinting about wanting to merge PC gaming and console gaming going all the way back with the original Xbox. Could have happened way sooner had they not bungled their "Games for Windows" service multiple times.
To a smaller degree, both Nintendo and Sony have hinted or been trying to merge things together like console and handheld gaming (Nintendo) or expand into more areas (Sony). |
The Xbox was Microsoft making a move into the living room. The One was them trying to double down on the TV aspect of it, but it was far too late to the dance when most TVs have built in features, and you can get stuff like Chromecasts for next to nothing.
I don't think this is them merging PC and Console, I think this is them retreating. The fight for the living room is lost, for the foreseeable future. |
Today's News:

Most talking points against xbox one come from people with no xbox one.

That hurts with Andromeda not getting out this year.
Back end of the year is looking pretty bleak for games right now. |

Honestly, there's so many good games coming out throughout the year that are ones to sink stupid amounts of hours into that it'll balance out. Persona 5 and FFXV (unless there's more delays to laugh at) in one year? E3 hasn't happened yet and publishers must also have taken notice at just how good the lack of dragging out marketing was for Fallout 4. Last Guardian is this year too. So pumped if that gets dated at E3. |

So basically the One is becoming a media center PC with a more 'shuttle' like form factor instead of a traditional desktop.
Didn't PCs do that in like......06? |
This news really irks me. I got the One close to launch unfortunately so I overpaid and got stuck with a pointless kinect. Oh well, I dealt with that. Now you're telling me you will be releasing more hardware updates ala PC....does this mean games will come with differing settings now or will i have to update my One to play newer games? The reason I buy consoles is because I don't have to update them for long periods and still get all the new games....and now these dicks are taking that from me. Shenanigans. Fucking Shenanigans. Tom foolery even.

Do we even know that yet?

Yeah I don't see an issue yet. Yet.

Can't see it ever being a case of you picking settings either. Betting the game will pick the settings based on the console it's booted on. |
Welp, no reason to stick to a "console" if it just a PC in a different box.
Disappointed, really. |
Wait - what's wrong with this idea? Is it saying we're gonna have to get new SKUs often or are they saying there will be more variations that play the same games as varying fidelity?
If it's the latter then I don't see an issue unless the distinction will be tantamount to CoD Blops III current vs last gen versions. If we're talking some difference in resolution and such than that's already a choice I made getting an Xbone over a PS4 or PC. I just wanna get a sense of what's to fear because my only worry is not being able to play what I want with my buds. |
Essentially, they will be releasing a "new Xbox" every X amount of years (most likely 2, since he mentioned it)

So hyped for No Man's Sky.

So the Beastcast had a good idea about this XBox One revision thing. The one they bring out now could be a VR ready one that works with Occulus because they don't have a solution for it and they want to be there near the start of the consumer model. Seems like a good idea.

Meh - still going PC. It will be cheaper, more versatile and not tie down to a specific "brand" or w/e.
|
Oh totally, probably work better for you. But for a company that has been behind the curve getting to trends over several years, having a way to get a box in front of people that's the best VR experience for the living room with more power than PSVR or the Galaxy Gear would be fairly smart.

Still have those options with PC :P
Still feel like it is going to blowback at them. I get what they are doing from a business standpoint, but still leaves a bit of a "bad mark" for me. |
I think the stuff about the Xbox being upgradable is overblown. Maybe a future Xbox platform, but not the One. You can't change the processor without changing the motherboard. The weaknesses with the One are the RAM being DDR3, and the lack of ESRAM, and the GPU.
Even if you had a discrete graphics card in a new Xbox, in a few years the bandwidth of the motherboard, CPU, etc, would be outclassed and you would always have a bottleneck. Shills at Forbes proclaim this will make the Xbox immortal. Maybe in the way an iPhone is immortal? Maybe if you believe in reincarnation. Its just an idea that sounds cool but doesn't mean anything. Even a PC cannonly be upgraded so far, and its design to be modular. They're already making a loss on cheap console hardware. After the shaky launch of the Xbox One, would people buy an Xbox Two , also kmowing they might have to shell out for upgrades in a year |
