GG are you done masturbating to the graphics pics yet?

I'm waiting for you to sort out the quality of your PS4 upload pics.

Dvader said:

No sarcasm GG, Xbox has a ton of good stuff like fable, project spark, that insomniac game, quantum break.

Oh you mean future lineup?

Even so: fable, project spark, that insomniac game, quantum break, maybe.

Still doesn't interest me as much as X, Mario Kart, Smash, DKC, Zelda etc. The multiplats I can get on PS4.

Foolz said:




From Gareth Newnham's fun article at LL about the launch lineups, it appears Xbox One has a better lineup than PS4 at least.


Wii U:


Notable First party Exclusives


New Super Mario Bros U – 84


Nintendoland – 77


Notable Third party Exclusives


ZombiU – 77


Scribblenauts U – 74


Overall average score – 78



PS4:


Notable First party Exclusives:


Killzone Shadow Fall – 73


Knack – 56




I don't think those review scores fully reflect the worth of Nintendoland or Zombi U. Along with NSMB U which is fairly tame and ordinary the Wii U launch is heads above what I'm seeing on the other systems if only because it's something different, unique and more interesting because of it (for me personally anyway as I like invention and novelty). Games like AC and COD come out on every platform. Knack and Ryse.... ew.

Dead Rising 3? I'd rather hobo Dead Rising 2. And because of U's headstart it has Pikmin 3, Zombi U, Lego City, Mario 3D World, Wind Waker, Rayman Legends, Deus Ex HR and more ready to play right now. It may be dead in the water in 3rd party support next year but right now it's good.

From the reviews I've seen XB1 launch is Forza which is 9/10, Dead Rising 3 is 7/10, Ryse is shite. You have COD and Ass Creed and some sports games to plug the gaps.

PS4 seems like Killzone is 8/10, Knack is shite, Resogun is good as a download, then AC and COD and some sports games to plug the gaps.

Remedy explains the game/TV show element of Quantum Break in detail

"First and foremost, it's a game. It's a big, cinematic, story driven action adventure. In many ways, we're taking everything we've learned from previous games and raising the bar much higher.


At the same time, almost as a feature of the game, it is an entertainment experience, and with that it's a fusion of a game and a live action show. So...once again, like with Alan Wake, we're using episodic TV series-esque basing for the storytelling, but it still ships on one disc, everything, both the game and the show.


And the idea is...they're meant to be consumed together, and the idea is that you first play through an act of the game, and then you get to watch an episode of the show. And so they're...kind of, acts of the game are inter-weaved with the episodes of the show. And what we have there kind of as a connecting tissue is that we have these moments of choice that are related to the fiction of time powers, and the antagonist, Paul Serene (sp?) who has the most powerful time powers of all. He has this, ability, this...junction ability, where he can see glimpses of different futures, of different timelines.

And actually in these junction moments, it's always like...a dynamic, player created cliffhanger at the end of each act of the game. You get to play the bad guy, you get to explore these glimpses and visions of two different futures at each junction point, and you make a choice which future comes to be. And with that, we shift to an episode of the show, and immediately there at the beginning of each episode, the first scene already clearly shows you alternate content depending on which choice you make.


And it works both ways, so very much, kind of, what you have in the game and what you do in the game reflects your custom experience of the show, but then again when you watch an episode of the show, you see things, learn things, that are clues for you when you go back to the next act of the game and play it through, with those clues you can find certain things and unlock further material."

Well now I just have to wait a few more weeks for my Xbox One to arrive.

Watched the GTTV show last night and it was pretty cool.

I like the design of the Xbox One console as I actually find it to be a refreshing change to the typical odd shapes that consoles generally take compared to other audio/video products.

The Xbox One has my favourite overall lineup of games with Killer Instinct, Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, Quantum Break, Halo 5, hopefully a new Gears of War, and others shown in that sizzle reel.

I guess they are releasing an HD version of Fable 1 for the 360 in January called Fable Anniversary. I'll pick that up for sure. Loved the first 2 games. Its got all the Lost Chapters stuff too, so its the complete game.

Yeah the waiting is the hard part. Never thought about that buying/returning trick. They're probably all sold out right now anyway.

So today I went out to buy a golden 3DS with Zelda. The first store had it for 220 euros. Which with the AC adapet would cost me 230 euros. A bit too expensive. The second store had it for 205 euros, but it was only for people who preordered it. I had to wait a week. Screw that. So I went to a store and saw a white 3DS XL with Mario 3D Land installed for 200 euros. I was going to buy 3D Land anyways, so might as well buy this. And it was cheaper than the golden one. But the store could not find it, they only had a 3DS XL with no games for the same price. Fuck that noise. So instead I bought Punch Out for 6 euros. And this time it works on my console. Woohoo.

About the 3DS. I will wait until cheaper. Target price 180 euros with a game. Come at me bro!

Has Sony bought the rights to Crash Bandicoot? This easter egg seems to indicate Crash going from the trash to Sony:

That image was in the playstation launch video.  And Activision has scrubebd their sites of all mention of crash:

Iga, I bought mine this week in the online store of bart smit for €125. Might be worth checking out. It is a timed offer, but at the moment it's still running. Also, the LE zelda 3ds came with acrappy digital copy of the game.

oh, and if you register them both as of the 27th, you get SM3DL as a free download.
