J4MES OX4D 10,034 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 This is one hell of a move by Microsoft that I didn't see coming. Hopefully it'll spell the end for shitty lazy remasters.

GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Gamechanger. Microsoft have pulled a gem out of the bag with that one. It says 100 titles to start with so we'll see if all 360 titles end up that way. Its also one way to give Sony a kick after being behind them in many of the next gen areas.

J4MES OX4D 10,034 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Early access also announced for Xbox One. Whilst I'm not a massive fan of the concept; this will be a major plus for them also.

Sennex 1,903 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If it is an Xbox version of what Steam has, then I will pass Early Access on Steam = you pay devs to make the game before it is released. Yes its wrapped up in the package of Alpha and Beta testing, but I seriously have around 10 games I paid 20$+ on to alpha test, to only have the developer completely drop the game. Oh yea, No refund wooo Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

deterioration 443 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 M$ is charging hard to crush SONY. Lower price, larger HD, backwards compatibility, Gears 4 and Forza 6 have tipped the sales for me. Interested to see what SONY has in store for us because backwards compatibility is a huge selling point for me; a person with 2 PS3's (1BC) and 2 360's that I can sell off. Comparability?

Also they've partnered with Valve for the Win10 VR which is going to be a powerhouse of hardware and the source 2 software. Hopefully Sony can come back strong especially on the software front but in terms of hardware; this has been a monumental day for Microsoft and gaming along with being a turning point in the current generation.

Sennex 1,903 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think I am the only one here that could care less about VR or Valve. Sidenote: Did you guys see that the Oculus is going to block Porn Apps, also they are debating on blocking "Violent" games?

Hopefully Sony can come back strong especially on the software front but in terms of hardware; this has been a monumental day for Microsoft and gaming along with being a turning point in the current generation. I have to read about that. M$'s hardware history is fraught with failure so I hope for the worlds sake its in an attempt to get it right the first time. Or it's a fancy new way to take your money and run. I don't trust M$ I think I am the only one here that could care less about VR or Valve. Sidenote: Did you guys see that the Oculus is going to block Porn Apps, also they are debating on blocking "Violent" games? I'm with you; I'm not interested in owning a VR gimmick at all. It's cool and interesting but IMO add it to the pile of dusty peripherals I've wasted money on that are hyped to death and get released with great anticipation only to receive no support and fade away. It's a big list. (I've played Virtual Boy! ) VR might have a longer shelf life than most, and it's potential wont be realized for a while, but if they block porn they're over before they've begun. Come knocking on my door when Strange Days Squid tech hits the market, but it better be built on the foundation of porn!

Sennex 1,903 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yea, this isn't a game changer by any stretch for me. Sony has been nothing but good to me since the PS1, so I won't be bailing on them anytime soon. I just really hate owning games I can't play Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

My 360 was acting up too right before I moved to PS4. I had a lot of games, and some I really miss. Same. The One was a total fuck up from the start in general; not only was the hardware inferior compared to the PS4 but they originally had that online 24/7 policy, compulsory Kinect and no game sharing/pre-owned. Damage was done right off the bat which was a shame because the 360 was such a good console and they just made some catastrophic decisions which set them back millions of units from the get-go. They have worked hard to rectify the situation though which has made the One now a far more attractive proposition from what it was especially with Windows 10 and DX12 on the way. I'll probably get a One down the line sometime when it's cheaper and in slim form.

GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I had reacted early when i said gamechanger. And it still is for me. For me, i still have my xbox one but never use it because of the lack of games and people wjo own them. If i cam now play my xbox360 games on it and more people join up to xbox live because of this then I can see myself using it. I'll admit that overall the ps4 still has the edge after seeing the sony release full of pure gaming, but just to get my money's worth out of the console, I'm thankful for that.

Sennex 1,903 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Does XBL gold still cost 50$ to play online? Or did they change that? If they changed that, then I will consider getting an Xbone, I need to sort out how to transfer nmy shit from 360 there though. That being said it will still end up being a tertiary platform for me. well after PS4, Ps3, and PC Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

JsinOwl 644 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 My biggest issue with XB1 was and remains, the fact that it runs Windows versus an OS specifically designed for a gaming console. That and the quality of Sony exclusives. My top 3 favorite games are all PS only titles. If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate.

That's why I ended up getting a PS3 not long ago cos you guys enlightened me on the good CoD games and ME3.You'll also find me getting Halo 5 cos I've always loved Halo.

JsinOwl 644 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I never played Gears, so I don't know what I'm missing xD At this point it's not an either-or question for me, it's PS or both, but I honestly haven't seen anything that would move me to get an X1.

GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'd hold off until you find out the timeline for this capability to come live. There isn't much available to get right now that stands out, nor for the rest of the year barring Halo 5 and maybe the current Forza racing game. One thing will still remain though that is utter dog shite - the UI dashboard. What fucktard made that seriously needs to stop their medication and meet human beings.
