Anyone else hugely dissapointed with the X180?The_Last_Ride

I do like it's features and is interested in the upcoming games for it. And allowing external hard drives for game downloads is just awesome unlike Sony who's not doing it for some reason. 

PS4 rumored to be on October 21st?

Rumor: Our internal product release schedule from head office dropped yesterday and on Oct 21st an unnamed Sony console will be launched. 

Damn, before BF4 is out, oh boy... 

GTA V's online looks to be an huge improvement over GTA IV's!

Also, lol:

So, pretty much Red Dead Redemption times 10.

I so want to try that. 

PS4 and X1 release dates to be announced at Gamescom on August 20th

Oh that's a great way to celebrate my 7th year anniversary on this site, by announcing when the next gen consoles I preordered will come out.  

3 hours? Damn Sony. 

News from CBOAT

TRUTHFACT 1+

No live stream for real reasons. Xbone architecture is still not fully completed. The latest version of the SDK a couple of weeks ago dropped performance by 15-20% across the board. Now before you get mad at MS, this happens ALL THE TIME in console development and it will eventually be fixed, but no chance for an early October release or...

TRUTHFACT 2+

... certainly not for all 21 countries. "Localization" is absolute one hundred percent BS. Period. TRUTHFACT. An excuse nobody with common sense would consider. Look at the countries dropped. Cross reference against languages spoken, official and otherwise in said countries. I said there were yield issues two months ago and the chicks have come home to roost. Knock offs for launch titles, and SmartGlass, etc. instead of the 180's "one coherent vision". Paying the price now.

TRUTHFACT 3+

Late October launch for the PS4. Sony's SDK is ready, you can basically master it to a final release right now. Today.

TRUTHFACT +4

If you thought people were mad about Bayonetta's sequel going to Wii U, you'll be somewhat unhappy about what Microsoft is moneyhatting with Platinum. Other Japanese devs are in play too, but Kamiyatown is the only one I'm solid on. Game is NOT for North America or Europe, by the way, which makes no sense but whatever.

TRUTHFACT $5

BigPark nuked their game. It was a MOBA, but it's dead dead dead now. A whole studio focusing on TV services! All their best talent went to Black Tust or left MS entirely. Rare's still Kinect focused, no matter what else you've heard.

TRUTHFACT 6

New indie publishing policy's not set yet. Will come postlaunch.

TRUTHFACT #7: Early September Surprise

Apologies in advance. Everything I saw over the last 24 months was that there's no chance of a Kinect-less SKU. It was a solid concrete decision, firm as a beach volleyball buttocks, no matter what other changes have been going on around here.

And... weeeelllll, about that.

There's whispers of a Kinect-optional (as in, not in the box) SKU early next year. March or April. Enough smoke now that I didn't want to wait until September to say it. Launch number fallout will play its part.

IMO TRUTHFACT 3+ is the best one on there. TRUTHFACT #7 might piss me off.

So it seems like Sony has it together unlike Microsoft for the next generation of consoles.macrules_640

Microsoft to give away free game with Xbox One consoles

Now it's your move, Sony. 

Saints Row IV has got to be the stupidest game I've ever played.

They should have kept it as DLC, but noooooooooo 

PS4 release dates are:

15th November US
29th November Elsewhere

Every PS4 comes with 14 days of PSN+.

That's why I settled for GTA V instead.macrules_640

Nah, I'm not even two hours into the game and it already bored me. It's great that they added superpowers in the game, but barely anything changed from SR the Third--the impression I got off is "where have I played this game before..."dalejrgamer

Since I have a PS3 now, I probably should also get Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite.Toph_Girl250
