Thoughts? Infamous looked pretty good, but it appears that the next gen is finally arriving with this game.

UFC games are typically garbage. I've heard it will be released first on X1, then 2 months later on PS4. Rumors are the PS4 is VERY difficult to program for, and the X1 is expected to take over in the next 12-18 months.

The 3DS has two screens, including a touch screen and 3D effects. That's where it begins and ends, but I honestly don't consider it a sequel to the Nintendo DS.

What made the NDS special was that it innovated and totally reached out to new audiences. The GBA was for classic gamers. The Gamecube was for the console competition. The NDS was for a brand new audience.

The problem with the 3DS is that it practically targets the same audience as the Wii U (Nintendo's core). NDS introduced new first-party IP's. 3DS, not really.

In the most literal sense possible it's a sequel. It's basically a Nintendo DS 1.5. NDS's features were impressive for 2004, but to copy the same design for 2011-2014+ was quite lazy.

NDS was a step forward because it innovated. 3DS merely copied it. You can't copy innovation and expect the same result.

Great post with fantastic insight. I agree in a way, but I would argue that Nintendo made a few mistakes along the way. However, with the Wii U doing awful in sales, it's time they step up their innovation game. They're trailing the PS4, and are getting blown out by the X1. It's time for Sony to consider dropping out of the console game, considering they're losing hundreds of millions of dollars, and Microsoft here is a cash cow.

I heard about this last week.. Rumors are it's going to be exclusive to X1 for 6 months, then it will be released as a low-grade port to the PS4. Microsoft is going all out by trying to delay releases to the PS4, and even when they are released they are shoddy ports.

Sure they get better graphics, but they don't necessarily get better games. You can't play console exclusives which are developed by the some of the best studios in the world. In terms of the medium, consoles push gameplay and storytelling, PCs push the next hardware. And with next gen consoles here, the graphical advantage is not what is used to be. Also, next gen consoles are quickly becoming the home to many indie games, so PC doesn't even have that anymore. And lastly, who wants to buy a desktop these days unless you really need to? So can we finally agree that the PC master race is no more?

These PC fanboys pump $300/year into their system in order to play the latest games on super high settings. The PC does things consoles can't, but when it comes to true versatility, consoles are truly dominant, particularly the X1. When you have friends over you can't hover around the PC sitting on the desk; people want to hang out in the living room and play. When playing games you don't always want to stick to RTS style games either. Consoles offer flexibility.

PC fanboys are always suffering from viruses and blue screens of death as well while my iMac never suffers a single hiccup. Sad PC fanboys.

@Heil68: Sony has a 40% stake in Game Marketing Summit...of course they're going to "win" some awards with that kind of leverage. Microsoft doesn't care about advertising anyway. We worry about core gamers, exclusive games, online gameplay, portability, affordability, etc.

@tymeservesfate: Wow! Great pictures. Just goes to show you that Mr Molyneux still has it. This man has delivered title after title, and here he is reviving one of his greats. Another victory for the X1.

It's now going to officially support PS4 and X1. You can watch the video on Twitch

Epic Games released the latest update to their Unreal Engine 4, which will now support Xbox One and PS4, including Sony’s Morpheus VR.

With the release of update 4.1, all subscribers who are registered Xbox or PlayStation developers, including members of the ID@Xbox independent developer program, can receive access to the engine’s complete source code for their respective console platforms, at no extra cost.

Epic will also hold a Twitch TV livestream further detailing the new update, which will go live starting at 2pm EST.

In talking to one of the industry leading developers, I heard the PS4's architecture couldn't optimize the UR4 Engine, but the X1 should have no issues since Microsoft took the high road. The Cell 1 held the PS3 back for years,, and it looks like Sony made the same mistakes again. They should have tweaked the issues with the Cell and created the powerful Cell 2.

If you factor in all the other features besides power I think it's safe to say it's the Xbox One. The PS4 is only 35% more powerful than the X1 but lacks features like the ability to run more than one app at a time, State of the Art motion and voice system, ability to watch live TV, skype calling, and more.

This thread will be locked if you post any gifs. No gifs in my post.

Couldn't have said it better. Microsoft has outdone itself with the X1. With some GREAT games coming out like Halo 5, GEoW 4, GTA5 and Mass Effect 4, the X1 is bound to surpass the PS4 in sales. X1 included a state of the art Kinect 2, as well as a better UI and Online play.

Sony made some huge mistakes by abandoning the powerful Cell processor, ending free online, not signing an exclusive deal with Titanfall, and not including a motion camera with the console.

...Where the hell is GTA5 PC? not a hint of information or anything...I can understand bad ports of the past, But what gives? i'll hold out for E3 or Games Con i guess..

what do you think SW.

Microsoft has played a hand of genius and paid Rockstar to delay a PC release. They were also able to secure early access to GTA5 expansion packs. My insider sources also indicate GTA5 will be coming to the Xbone by this Christmas. Don't expect PS4 to see GTA5 till Fall 2015... Sorry fanboys...

You've got to LOVE what Microsoft is doing with the Xbone. By penetrating the Chinese market, Microsoft is situating itself to sell 100million+ consoles over the lifespan of the Xbone. Sony is making HUGE makes with the PS4 by not signing Titanfall, falling on it's face in China, and using hardware which will be dated in 4-5 years
