XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

[carver]

Copped BF4 and 2K bros, let me in on that 2k league, we should do a draft style set up to pick our teams....

Draft style?

I got sum bad newz.

Unless mamba mvp runs this league no chance

 

[strictlyairjordans23]

A media center thats releasing Titanfall, Halo 5, Quantum Break, Project Spark, Fable: Legends, and Sunset Overdrive in one year is pretty "gamer" to me.

Then again, Boogie/Francis (dude in the video) has alot of funny videos so he's still cool in my book.

 

[RustyShackleford]

^^^ His main reason are 1080p and Sony exclusives for the PS4. If anyone wants to save themselves 13min.


1080p isn't a big deal for me, and Sony aren't that great in my opinion. They are all graphics over gameplay in my opinion

His main reasons are that the xb1 is a media center while the ps4 is geared towards gamers.
Your last two sentences are too ridiculous to be taken seriously.

That's his conclusion, his reasons to back up his claim are what I stated, and are in my opinion kinda BS

It is the usually thing, "hardcore" gamers hold this grudge about against MS because they said openly "this box isn't only built for you". The One is a very capable gaming machine, and has a better line up of games through next winter.

And I said my opinion, but as usual, you can't comprehend that someone would have different taste than you. No Sony exclusive has influenced game design like Halo and Gears. In fact they usually rip of other games design but build amazing worlds around solid mechanics. It is not a knock on them, to honest is honest.

interesting. you believe sony makes games...and rips off other games. honestly lets remove the bias here. both microsoft and sony have dropped gamechangers in their history. why dont we at least give it 6 months to see who REALLY is trying to break the mold this time around. because if were honest, NONE of the games that have dropped or will drop in the coming 3 months are game changers or MUST HAVEs. and if you believe "hardcore" gamers explain the influx of ps4 supporters and the sales to back it up, youre delusional. xbox messed up and pissed alot of their own customers off. ps capitalized and differentiated themselves. its as simple as that.

NOW, if we include bias... i think right now both systems are pretty much neck and neck overall. xbox users love the ability to bypass the TV button on their remote and "snap" to different screens. i think thats the dumbest most gimmicky ish ever. but thats MY opinion. the real test comes in 2014 when the heavy hitting games start coming out. playstation has a STRONG 2014 lineup. HOWEVER, playstation was very stupid to not fight tooth and nail to keep final fantasy and kingdom hearts to themselves. DEFINITELY hurt their exclusives list. microsoft has to really bring it next year, and outside of titanfall...i dont see it happening.

 

[tim teufel]

I can't emm front I love both systems. But the ps4 controller and some games do look better on the ps4. I'm hooked on forza so far and ill be making a ps3 comeback next week with gt6

 

[7th Chamber]

I'll start a 2K league. I feel like it should be like 8 people though

These things never last. We do need Mamba though.

 

[Bee]

again I would like to know why people really think Xbox One isn't capable of running games at 1080p. What because a few of the launch games aren't running it the console all of a sudden doesn't have the power to do it?

And don't get me started on this "PS4 is for gamers, XB1 is for media" thing. Just because Microsoft took the whole "all in one device" marketing strategy to draw in more casual gamers doesn't mean it's not capable of doing its primary job.

This whole console war thing is really hilarious to me, people in both threads sounding like a bunch of Internet gang bangers putting on for their "sets"

 

[swendro]

Please share with us the complete games lineup through next winter Rusty. I'm dying to know.

/console wars

I feel the same way. In no way do I feel that the PS4 is more of a "console for gamers" and I do own both consoles. The PS4 is amazing; if this were our only choice, then we'd all be fine with it at the end of the day. But the Xbox One is no slouch and games like Forza 5 show that. NBA 2K14 looks just as great on the Xbox One as it does on the PS4, same with BF4 in my opinion. And all this talk about more processing power is great for the PS4. But show me that power in a game before pointing out specs on paper.

My point was that Sony exclusives are more built around graphics, art and interesting worlds, as opposed to innovationary gameplay.

PS4's AAA line-up for 2014 is thin at best, XB1's is way better at the moment

And once again from your explanation it shows you like many others feel some type of way for MS investing other areas in Xbox, and having the guts to brag about it.

Without bias, right now the PS4 has the power advantage and nothing else.

Well, launch games tend to be the games that push the consoles the least, though it is the time when devs are least familiar with the hardware. But, yeah it can do 1080p, sure. Last gen consoles could do 1080p. The Wii U does 1080p. It's just...what's going to happen as devs push the consoles harder? Are they going prioritize resolution or graphical effects.

I'm mirin that Wii U line-up brah. Might pick one up next Black Friday with tons of games.

 

[7th Chamber]

It's not the same as Burnout because Forza offers a realistic racing sim. It's attention to realism is top notch. It caters to both hardcore racers with it's depth.

I'll give a review. @j o 19

As stated, the attention to realism is top notch and the depth is what really keeps you wanting to play more. The leveling system in Forza is set up in a similar fashion to the COD series I guess in that you're always leveling up as you play the game. As you level up, you earn more credits to purchase more cars. The more cars you purchase, the more races you can participate in. The more races you participate in, the more credits you earn to buy more cars and to tune up the cars you already own. Forza also implemented an Affinity system for each car manufacturer. This is essentially another leveling system, but it is specific to each car manufacturer and you are also awarded bonus credits as you gain higher Affinity. So for instance, you purchase the 2003 Ford SVT Corba for a series and you get up to a level 5 Affinity for Ford. When you enter another series that has a Ford car, you'll be more inclined to purchase another Ford so that you're earning more credits since you have that Affinity level at 5 already. It really is a great system that's always rewarding you for playing.

The gameplay is great in that it caters to hardcore racers and novice racers. Forza allows you play with assists which make the game easier to play; these come in the form of steering assists, braking assists and so on. The better you get at the game, you can turn these assists off and as you do that, you earn more credits for raising the difficulty. You can really tweak the game to your liking and you never feel like you're being punished when you start the game on Easy, rather you're rewarded for moving up to Medium and Hard and so on.

Forza 5 also has what's called a Drivatar. This is essentially a virtual representation of how you drive. Your Drivatar will compete in races when you're offline and will earn credits for you as well. What's cool is that you'll see the Drivatar of people on your Friend's List in the game when you race in Career Mode. It's a cool feature and makes you feel like you're racing against actual people instead of the CPU when you're doing Career Mode.

What does become cumbersome is the lack of tracks in the game. After completing a few series, you'll start to notice that you're playing the same tracks over and over. What keeps you playing is the variety of cars you're able to purchase and the leveling system. Hopefully more tracks become available as DLC to keep things fresh. As you progress, you do participate in other events other than straight races such as Chase, where you're racing against 1 or 2 other cars with traffic in your way, Bowllng, where there are pins on the track that you have to knock over to gain a specific amount of points and Signature Events where you're racing against all Mustangs or something similar to that set up. These events try to keep things fresh and although you do end up playing alternate versions of the courses, the lack of tracks does become noticeable.

Graphically, this game is beautiful. The cars looks spot on and the environments are great to look at. The damage that vehicles take is a nice touch and can sometimes deter you from hitting a wall you otherwise wouldn't care about; although I don't think I've gone through a race without hitting another car at least 2, 3, 4, or 10 times. You can customize your car almost anyway you want. You can upload your design to the game and others can download your creation. Customization comes in the form of paint jobs, rims, decals and body kits.

Overall I'd give this game a 8.8 out of 10. It's a great launch title and a game I've invested a lot of time in already. Despite the lack of tracks in the game, it's still fun to play and it will keep you occupied.

Okay I see. Which console looks better isn't imoprtant to me either. What's important to me are the exclusives, policies, and attitude towards their customers. 

The ps3 had better exclusives. As I stated earlier, no xbox exclusive made me go YOOOO(amazed me). 

The ps3 exclusives took me on an adventure while 360 exclusives took me on a field trip.

 

From my understanding, hardcore gamers are part of what made the 360 so successful.

So, not "catering" to them is what made so many of them jump ship.

Then it's also silly to say "this box isn't only built for you," then essentially say "this is for gamers" on xbox.com.

M$ 180 skills are top notch. I'm impressed.

 

IMO is like haha. What you said isn't negated just because you added imo at the end.

Also where'd you get this silly idea that I think everyone likes that same things that I do?

No Sony exclusive has influenced game design like Halo and Gears. In fact they usually rip of other games design but build amazing worlds around solid mechanics. It is not a knock on them, to honest is honest.

Unless you're some type of game historian IDK how you confidently say that.

How has halo or gears influenced game design?

That is second statement is michael jackson's son.

Playstation been in the "game" since 94 while xbox came into the game in 01'.

Given those facts, how can you honestly believe that?

Lastly, I've had the ps3 for about a month now and I already like the exclusives(gow/heavy rain) much more than gears or halo.

Can you even list any single player xbox exclusives that are worth noting?

If you list crackdown...

Let's keep this discussion in a spoiler so that we don't annoy the people who come to this thread for xbox news.

Halo mechanics provided the blueprint for console shooters. Heavy aim assist, 2 weapon system, then regenerative health.
Gears did the same for TPSs. It cover system, press Y to look, stop and pop gameplay, and Horde mode.

-Mass Effect, Fable 2, Conviction, Alan Wake

Never said it was, i was just asking.  Besides, my favorite racing game of all time doesn't rain, every race is at night, and takes place in a fictitious Tokyo, with no real cars.

Best racing game of all time srs

Goldeye was the OG console shooter king. But Halo's mechanics are the ones copied more since it is a twin stick FPS

 

[swendro]

Yeah, it was made by Rare. The company that MS bought then turned into a kinnect avatar item creator.
