About FH2 sales and halo MCC pre order.... I'm pretty sure those two games are or will be heavily purchased on the XBO store.... I know most halo fan that will buy the MCC have no plan to resell it and forza horizon fans either... It's the kind of game you wanna have in 10 years and just randomly play if you wish to

Damn, just bought a xbox one to compare it to my ps4. Forza games are amazing, never feel this good about sim game.

You have Forza M5 let me know how it plays. I have been waiting and waiting to get it.

Congrats , which Forza are you playing though.


Both, I bought them both. At first I was like "mhh better get one after another" but after I tested it Horizon, I went batshit crazy and bought motorsport... I think only the shift serie can compete with forza, and coming from me that's one of a huuuge compliment. Forza is that great, it is what made me bought a Xbox One. If Project cars is same resolution and same fps, I will sell my ps4 and keep my one.

Just bought The Witcher 2... I never got into this series, time to start.

Last month I bought both Tales of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata... I don't like Tales very much and Eternal Sonata I didn't even start it yet but I get the feeling it'll be like TOV. It's not the childish look as I don't care much about that... it's more of the pacing, dialogues are kind of weird but the combat system is great. Will play some more later.

Witcher 2 plays great and looks great considering the hardware. It's unique conpared to other wrpg's I've played before. 

Even though some of my favorite games of all time are rpgs the lack of character creation kept me away from the Witcher... I know it's stupid but I took the time to watch some footage of Witcher 3 and now I realise it's the story of a specific guys ala FF. I liked Kotor, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Fable, Dragon Age because of the character creation and the choices you make... hope I will like Witcher also.

Well, how to descride it the best way to you... ? I never played Forza before M5 so I can't compare to its predecessor, but if you know a little about racing game Forza is as good looking as GRid autosport on ultra setting and really that's something. About Gameplay, it's more rigid than GRID serie. You can't take turn while driving at 120km/h, it's even most realistic than Shift 2 unleashed wich is something again. In shift the cars tend to drift a lot on every settings, here in Forza they can drift if you don't manage your driving well but you will lose the grip and the car will go crazy. Like in real life.

I was afraid the game were too rigid, but do not be afraid, it's fun enough. Best racing game I've played so far. Only one that can compete is the First Need for speed shift in first person view.

Thanks man. I skipped FM4 and 5 and I'm ready to get my racing thirst quenched.

Actually, the problem isn't the actual resolution as far as I can tell.  The problem is that our version is being gimped because Ubisoft wanted to please you guys (well, most likely Microsoft).  I personally barely notice a difference between 1080p and 720p and care a LOT more about stability and consistency than I care about resolution, but I'm still a little upset knowing that games that come out on the system I play on are being held back from being all they can be.  Not because they're not the absolute highest resolution, I don't care about that, but that this kind of behaviour sets a precedent wherein the reasons I bought a PS4 over an Xbox One are being negated because Microsoft and their gamers whined hard enough that a game developer decided "it's easier to please them than it is to just make both versions as good as they can be."

It's the feeling of being dragged down to the lowest common denominator. 

And you'd figure the vast array of fun indie games on PS4 would be enough to convince you that we care about gameplay.  Saying "PS fans' and then covering a blanket statement about how we apparently all only care about resolution is ignorant.  That's practically the definition of a strawman fallacy.  You're taking the absolute fringe of our argument and using it against us as if it was the crux of the whole debate. 

so I reiterate:  Nobody actually cares about resolution.  Resolution is just a tool in some silly fight between Xbox and Playstation fans.  it's just a way to differentiate the systems so people have something to argue about.  And when developers deliberately hinder the potential of one console to please the other and create parity, it pisses people off no matter what side of the debate you're on.  

If this was the other way and a developer created parity so that a game was gimped on both consoles so it would achieve parity on a PS4, you'd be doing the same thing and you'd all be just as outraged and pissed off as PS fans are now.  Don't dare deny it, because I was there for the Xbox 360 vs PS3 debates of last gen, it WAS that way when developers couldn't code for the PS3's shitty architecture.  It works both ways, stop trying to twist things so you're some noble "game consoles are for fun" messiah while painting PS4 fans as shitty 'graphics over gameplay' tyrants.  Everyone plays games to have fun, the only people who care about resolution are petty fools who care more about winning than playing. 

So seriously, you should be just as pissed as we are.  you and every other xbox and PS4 fanboy should be upset about this because if this becomes the norm, it's bad for everyone no matter what side you're on.  If this becomes the norm, then when your console has something sweet and unique (like your mythical cloud processing or Kinect integration) t hat the competitor doesn't have, how would you like it if your version was handicapped in order to make it equal on both ends? 

Example:  PS4's power is greater, but its PS Eye is weaker.  Would you want a game that was hampered both in graphics and motion control because the Xbone was weaker but the PS Eye was relatively limited?  It'd piss you off if a game's features were simplified in order to accommodate the PS4 Eye, wouldn't it?  Same deal.  it works both ways.  You should be pissed. 

I don't actually think its about pleasing Microsoft fans. I mean how often do you honestly hear them complaining about having slightly lower resolutions.

I think it is more to prevent Sony fans spending a few weeks talking about how shit the Xbox One version will be.

BTW Slade that was just a random somewhat joking guess based on the fact that Hyrule did 100k and Forza has been doing a lot worse than Hyrule on online sites. Still hoping for 100k+ FW USA

Really hope sales aren't as bad as it does deserve to sell well, MS could have done more advertising though. 

I'm guessing numbers are next week though :)
