Next-gen come to me!

 

 

Fable, I imagine? Looks damn good. A different artstyle then I expected, and a few rough edges, but with time and polish it could be something really special.

Is that it?

A Fable game and a FIFA bundle?

COD, news on Ryse, some indie stuff...that was about it. Yeah, a letdown. But it is only Gamescom. I hope you weren't expecting too much.

Dedicated servers mean that they aren't player hosted. P2P servers select the player with the best connection and ping off him therefore giving that person an advantage. Ever been kicked out of a lobby in COD or see that host migration prompt? That means the host left the server. Dedicated servers do not have this issue and the only time someone has an advantage is if they have a better internet connection. This time everyone is on a level playing field and if you're ping isn't as good as others it is your fault.
COD:Ghosts on Xbox using dedicated servers is huge.


The servers will be dedicated everywhere...don't fall for the hype bro.  PC/XB1/PS4. All of them will have it. Its just exclusivity marketing and eventually it gets debunked. I fell for it when I first got my 360 too.


Microsoft is providing the dedicated servers.  Don't jump to conclusions just yet since Sony has made no announcements of doing anything similar yet. In fact, Sony has been pretty quiet on most of their online features and capabilities so maybe they will finally shed some light on things like Gaikai and dedicated servers and cloud or whatnot.

Guess we'll have to wait for Sony or Activision to confirm but I wouldn't get my hopes to high if I were you.


Are you kidding me? Dude...both Sony and Microsoft will be using the cloud. Microsoft is the only one who is hyping it. PC has had dedicated servers for the longest. Again...don't fall for the hype.

A PS4 purchase with a copy of FIFA 14 is cheaper than an X1 with a free bundled copy of FIFA 14. So why are they making a big deal out of it?

Dude....I am not falling for that shit this coming gen. I'm sorry, I fell for it last gen...never again.

Ryse is actually looking pretty decent from the combat I saw. I'll wait for reviews but anything over a 7 and I'll pick it up.

@S.T.A.G.E.
Sony's cloud isn't coming till 2014. COD:Ghosts releases in 2013. Either Activision themselves will have to pony up for the dedicated servers for the PS4 or it's not happening. Even at that Sony's cloud is for Gakai streaming. Nothing has been announced about dedicated servers.

If you say so (im not going to rationalize this). Oh yes, another question: How much do you think Microsoft paid Epic for Gears? Technically they have to pay to supplment lost profit on the second console. Overall, how much do you think was all together? 


we are not talking about an exclusive or even a time exclusive.... it's a packed in game with pre order only, for european countries only, that will be launching the console in novembre.... that game will release on all platforms at the same time.... looking at the fact that devs get between 30 and 40 bucks on a 60 bucks game.... yeah 50 million deal would be expensive.... in comparaison the NFL deal is worth 80 million a year for an exclusive 5 year deal with one of the most followed sport league in the world....

anyway even though I will stand by those number.... I'm pretty sure MS worked out a deal globaly for all the exclusive content they will get and all accross multiple EA game IPs.... but a billion for fifas packed in certainly not... they'd be better off profit wise selling half as much in europe launch window than take a bill that huge

If you read what i wrote earlier...you can easily see that I had just received word that it was just preorders and my expection of payment was then changed to be  way lower. I am cutting down this quote tree before we both get into trouble.
