F2P, MS your too much with the kindness man(World of Tanks)

World Of Tanks Xbox 360 Edition is coming Feb. 12th. free to play for Xbox Live Gold members, also a 7 day free trial for non-Xbox Live Gold members. i guess Microsoft isnt giving up on the XB360 because of the start of next gen like cows tried to fear-monger. let's hope it makes a splash.

http://news.xbox.com/2014/02/games-world-of-tanks-xbox-360-launch-date

this game, like most F2P games is terrible

Dat f2p support. 360.. Totally not abandoned.

@Shewgenja and the Last of Us DLC comes out 2 days later...ur set yourself cow.

World of Tanks is a known success on PC. saying its XB360 counterpart will be terrible is a bit of stretch.

On the PC it´s a great game,not sure about these ports though.

This.

i played the beta on the 360, I'm aware of the numbers it gets, but the game itself is boring and terrible. F2P is for hermits with more time on their hands then money. rarely are any fun. You might as well be playing farmville

If you have this on PC, you have 0 reason to bother with the 360 version.

Its not like you need a particularly powerful rig to run it either, there are millions of people in Russian and Eastern Europe who can run this thing on a total dinosaur of a machine.

not everyone games on PC...this just give console users access to a new popular experience from PC. nothing wrong with that.

More greatness now instead of awaiting....;P

when did i thank MS?

oh you mean that "thank you Sony" crap...yea, that is stupid. the same with cows comparing Sony n its games to God. yea, thats what gamers/posters want...some blasphemy mixed in with their gaming talk smh morons.

lol do people still remember the 360...

cows do, they're still checking sales reports hoping the ps3 finally passes the XB360 in sales. i guarantee, if that ever happens you will see more than a few threads about it. cows are paying close attention to the 360. believe that ;)

no one believes your trolling ass

you don't have to believe shit.

proof is in the pudding though lol XD if it happens, the threads will come in droves. ;)

@PraetorianMan Are you implying Eastern Europeans are poor peasants?

A 2010 F2P PC port is your idea of support? Wow, M$ sure has an easy job impressing lems.

F2P? You need Gold membership to play this garbage. You don't need any subscription fee to play this on PC. Why not bring World of Tanks to Xbone instead? No one plays XBox 360 anymore unlike the Playstation 3.

You're right, they gave up on 360 years before.

its a popular game on PC...why not make a port and give it a shot. at least its appeal is verified...unlike Deep Downs micro-transactioned ass lol.

why would you even think that nonsense, lol? no one plays their Xbox anymore...why wouldnt they? with games with Gold, the games they already have, and this coming out on the 12th there's plenty of reason to not unplug your 360.

buck up, at least the last of us is getting dlc on the 14th *yawn*

behind a paywall... not free to play.. therefor M$ appears to be ass f**king you and as always, you are happy about it @tymeservesfate .... you never cease to make me pitty you

meh

It isn't free to play though.

Microsoft will make people buy xbox live gold to play a free to play game, that is not free. You still have to pay to play it.

This is coming from a long-time PC gamer: F2P is crap. You console guys who don't realize that yet will very soon, I promise.

@tymeservesfate: you realise ps plus on ps3 has just given out metro last light and bioshock infinite for free? Not to mention uncharted 3 and xcom enemy unknown are still free?

@Gargus

save ur pity for someone that actually respects you lol. true, World of Tanks is behind Xbox Live's paywall. but its an online multiplayer game. why the hell wouldnt it be behind the wall lmao smh. its not like Deep Down where they're going to micro-transaction you in every crazy way possible just to make a profit. that game's plan is to block the players progress just so they have to pay to continue playing. with WoT they'll have some but nothing so restraining since Xbox Live helps take some of the hit.

when do you guys actually think? is it a time of day or an actual day of the week? if so let me know and i'll save my posts until then.

you do realize that i have Sleeping Dogs, Gears, Tomb Raider, Xcom, Halo and others all saved to my hard drive and their mines for good, not rentals like you have, yes? point is, games with gold and your rental service are both good...except i get to keep my games if i cancel my Gold membership.

the point was Xboxers get this...ps3 users get the Last of Us users get DLC. all 4 million of them who brought it. hope you kept your copy.

Oh god... Okay Warframe... Online Multiplayer, War Thunder..... Online Multiplayer ... only two examples of F2P that are actually F2P on PC and PS4 (no paywall included) yet are not on xbox... hell even the web browser is being your paywall... A WEB BROWSER.... do you not see your stupidity here? there is no way you can justify that at all... so don't even try

Also the fact that you are behind a payway is mandatory and you must pay. this is also a fact and not opinion. Whether Deep Down will "block the players progress just so they have to pay to continue" is your opinion and a very large assumption.. massive in fact. Do you have any sources to back up these insane claims?

a web browser is the actual internet, its the epitome of being "online". so why wouldnt it be behind Live Gold smh -_- ??

as for Deep Down. deputy head of consumer games Yoshinori Ono explained :

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-free-to-play-game-deep-down-microtransaction-details/1100-6417510/

"The game Deep Down is provided free of charge, but players are required to pay for additional items and other game content,"

"The game Deep Down is provided free of charge, but players are required to pay for additional items and other game content,"

"The game Deep Down is provided free of charge, but players are required to pay for additional items and other game content,"

"required"

"to"

"pay"

"required"

is it more sane for you now?

PS4 web browser aint behind a paywall... and thats the epitome of being online like you say.... Neither are apps like Netflix or BBC Iplayer. How about xbox? Payed for i hear... ohh does that feel good? Being charged when PC and PS4 get to skip that payment?

As for Deep Down... yes you are required to pay for additional items and content.... DLC... stuff we have had for years. Also we have no idea what this content actually is. So its a massive assumption to say its designed to "block players progress" and basically call it an insult to gaming. What it its stuff that just cosmetic?

Oh and bold text doesn't make me read it any more attentively... just makes you look stupid.....

but I love stupid people :D

@RedentSC: that's Sony's decision, wtf? i'm just saying i can understand why. so its not a big deal to me.

listen, psn+ is required now on their next gen console...add along Music Unlimited, Playstation Now, and their TV app. which are optional yes. but most people want to get the most out of their system they can n will pony up the money. especially if they're watching Xboxers playing around their flashy Xbox ones and all its features behind its one paywall. with a Sony user buying into any ONE, just one, of these features along with mandatory PSN+ subscription, they are going to be paying more than lemmings will be this gen.

Sony has way more subscription apps OUTSIDE of the pay wall that cows will have to dish out money for to use. its a ploy. compared to Xbox Live Gold having 81 features behind its pay wall...the pay wall is a good thing that helps Xboxers from getting milked like Sony seems to be doing to its users now. if you look at it that way MS is taking care of its users more so with the one charge thing instead of splitting shii up and charging us for things and apps that could have just been behind PSN+.

i mean, who wouldnt rather pay once for 81 features than having to pay separate subscriptions for every little thing a company can think to charge you for, smh lol? are you using any common sense here?

and Capcom along with Sony(a money starved company) handling Deep Downs micro-transactions process is a scary thing. but yea, you go ahead and wait. i have a feeling you're waiting to see i'm right though.

I guess when you're starving for games like lems F2P PC ports from 2010 still counts as support lol.

Sony doesn't put F2P games behind PSN+.

cows are "hyped" for Planetside but lems maybe looking forward too World of Tanks is ridiculous to you -_-? really, stick to posting pictures fam. you and thinking don't really mix, smh lol.

Isn't Planetside 2 coming to PS4? Pot meet kettle.

@tymeservesfate: I'd rather have my rental games that are actual recent games that given free games from 6+ years ago. To each his own

go for it then. so far i download six games and havent finished two yet. so yea, go ahead...take your ten rentals. with how much you're on here i doubt you'll finish one of them. but hey, at least they're there for you...until u stop paying. mines will be there waiting for me though for whenever i decide to play them. while ur there making sure your subscription is up to date lol.

Cool beans. Enjoy the games everyone played 6 years ago. I'm sure they're still great! Thanks for worrying about my personal time too. Very nice of you.

i wasnt trying to insult you. i was just saying you spend more time on here than me and i barely finish a game or two. so it must be harder for you to it. i wasnt insulting your lifestyle though.

Nah, I'm really not on here THAT much. I used to be on here a shit load because I had a graveyard shift and was bored out of my mind. So most of my posts come from that period. Now I'm mostly on sports forum because this place is ridiculous.

lol, i feel you. i took a break from posting here for a couple years. it just got to be, too much. so i just read the news off here instead of contributing, while posting in sports forums randomly too. u really can't overdose on this place, or shouldn't. but yea, glad u werent offended.

Totally free to play if you give Microsoft $60/year for XBL Gold.

So I guess with topics like this we can now officially say PS+ games are free too. Fair is fair after all.

and is anyone making forum topics bragging about it? Was anyone really caring about the multiple f2p games the ps4 already has? I've really only seen Deep Down get any notice and that's likely because nobody knows much about it save for it being a crapcom game.

Either way, the key difference here in titles is at least on the ps4, you don't need to pay a subscription to access the f2p games. That is unless you want to count everything one gets with ps+.

seems MS still struggles with the 'FREE' part of the F2P concept

Might as well check it out.

yea, both companies are struggling with their games it seems like:

by Producer Kazunori Sugiura

About Deep Down, I think we’ll give full fledged information to everyone after the summer, so you may have to wait for a little while beyond the launch [of PS4] on February 22nd.

Since we don’t want to risk to be told “This could have been done on PS3!” we want to finish a game that fully uses the PS4 hardware specs.

could have been done on the ps3...?? yikes! i guess MS's pay wall is for quality...and Sony's is for...um...profit.
