It has Dead Rising as a demo? Really? I just looked like a week ago and it had Fifa and NHL as a demo but not Dead Rising. DId you find it just by going to the demo's section on the dashboard?

The Evil Genius Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 http://bgr.com/2014/01/02/microsoft-xbox-one-disc-drive/ Microsoft almost fatally sabotaged the Xbox One It's a good thing they realized that a good portion of this country still doesn't have fast download speeds.

The Evil Genius Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Does anyone have Dead Rising 3? Is it worth owning if you can get a "like new" copy for ~$45? I would vote no because you can get it new through Saturday for $39.99 + tax at Bestbuy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/dead-rising-3-xbox-one/2598037.p?id=1219074795221&skuId=2598037&st=categoryid$pcmcat303600050005&lp=2&cp=1 You can also get Ryse and Forza 5 for $39.99 + tax at Best Buy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ryse-son-of-rome-xbox-one/2598046.p?id=1219074798764&skuId=2598046&st=categoryid$pcmcat303600050005&lp=5&cp=1 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/forza-motorsport-5-xbox-one/2598019.p?id=1219074795900&skuId=2598019&st=categoryid$pcmcat303600050005&lp=4&cp=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 gotta love the sensationalist title. But it's probably true. If Microsoft had gone disc-less for the XBox One against a disc based PS4 - they would have been creamed here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Am I the only one who doesn't see much difference between the PS4 and PS3 (ditto the 360 and the One as far as I can tell)? I haven't spent much time with it so maybe I'm missing it, but as far as I can tell this is th smallest difference between next-gen and past-gen that I can remember. Been wonder what the ceiling would be and when we would reach it. Maybe we're there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've been saying for a long time that we would not see the jump this gen that everyone was expecting. Last gen's consoles were too expensive when they came out, so the jump was bigger from the generation before than I think it should have been. Going back to at least reasonably priced consoles this generation is going to result in smaller jump technologically, and I also think we're reaching the point of diminishing returns graphically; at least as far as regular TV gaming is concerned (higher resolution and framerates will be big for virtual reality down the line, but less noticeable on TV). I don't think we'll really notice much the difference in models using 50 times the number of polygons as the previous generations, plus all these art assets get more expensive the more detailed they get. Game developers have probably started noticing that dumping too much money into graphics is a huge risk, because if the game isn't a huge smash-hit, they can lose a lot of money on these games, and we've already seen some developers go out of business this past generation as a result.

Chew Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Bioshock Infinite FREE on Playstation Plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTViper Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Not trying to ruin your day or anything chew, but Infinite has got to be one of the most boring/lame games I've played in a looooooong time. The hype train was so strong that it definitely didn't help. The graphics weren't special at all, especially compared to the latest tomb raider game (waaaaaay better game, story, combat) But hey, at least it's "free" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I had Bioshock for about 2 days before I decided to sell it. It was terrible. *FWIW, you can get an XBone just about anywhere now. PS4's are a litte trickier to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated Infinite. I was forcing myself to continue to play it just to beat it. If you're ever looking for a game to play get Bioshock 1. Prob the best game i have played on the 360.

Mufumonk Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm starting to wonder if this is intentional on Sony's part. At over 4.2 million consoles sold through Dec 28th, the shortages are definitely real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Playstation Now sounds interesting. I wonder what the cost will be and if it will eventually have PS4 games: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/01/07/sony-reveals-its-streaming-service-playstation-now Also, I just want to add what an amazing game Tomb Raider is. It was funny, after I beat the game, there was a thank you note at the end for completing the game. Also, this is childish but two of the people that worked on it were Amy Shat and (Forget this guys first name) Poon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherrardsd Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 For what it's worth, I really really liked Infinite. So not everybody hated it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeorama Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I have the PS4 and love it, but I also still have an Xbox 360 and still play that as well. I'd love to have an Xboxone but don't have the money to do it. I chose the PS4 because I love "the Show" and that's a must have for me. There are no exclusive Xbox games I have to have. That was the deciding factor for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wonder what the ceiling would be and when we would reach it. Maybe we're there? I thought the same thing, but apparently 7+ million people don't agree with us. I thought really hard about getting an Xbox One, but I just can't pull the trigger on $500 when my PS3 and 360 are both working fine for me. I'm just going to wait until the prices come down on both systems and see which one more people I know have. But I agree with you 100%, I don't really see a huge difference between last gen and the new gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGoonie55 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I never experienced the 'awe' factor like I have playing BF4 on the ps4. I don't know how many times I die because I'm checking out the scenery. Paracel Storm, when the storm blows in, its gorgeous. It makes me almost smell the rain coming in. Explosions and smoke effects are crazy real. I definitely notice a difference. (From xbox360 to PS4 that is - I haven't played a PS3 in almost 2 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
