  • Mirrors Edge Catalyst

    Well, here's why, Mirror's Edge and Doom 3 are probably the two games that had the biggest impact on me and how I do my art. They are nothing less than master pieces, perfectly art directed and executed.

    Funny enough, those are two games who's gameplay wasn't as stellar as the art was, and THAT is why I am excited about this, if in ME2 they fix the issues they had with the gameplay and yet, manage to keep the unique art style and art direction of ME1, then man, this might just be one of the best games ever for me.

    There, that's why I'm hyped for it.

    PS4's hardware also appears to be more powerful, with the GDDR5 and whatnot. It seems Sony will be selling PS4 at a loss, just like they did with the PS3.

    Revengece is hardly a Metal Gear game.

    I meant all MGS games are on Xbox, MGS2, MGS3 and Peace Walker. Even MGS1 is on Xbox1. (By 1 I mean 2001's model)

    Quote from Minos

    Most of these launch titles/exclusives probably have astronomical budgets and are going to need to sell 1 or 2 million copies just to break even, how the hell are they going to do that on a new system with zero installed based (yet)?

    Not arguing whether the console is worth 200 or 500, just pointing the fact that most of the studios who invested millions in their AAA launch titles aren't going to get that money back... Remember that when the 360/PS3 were released, the economy and the industry as a whole were in a much better shape and AAA games had half the budget they have now...

    Yeah, there's a lot of question marks for sure. I guess the goal here is to give people incentive to get these new console during the year 2014 and onwards.

    The increased budget's are indeed a big problem. I hope players don't expect every single game to look like a real-time Pixar movie, but something tells me they will, and those expectations can hurt next gen.

    Last Metal Gear Solid that was a Sony exclusive was Metal Gear Solid 4. Since then, all MGS's are on the xbox.

    So apparently this is gonna be released for $500 bucks... sounds like a recipe for disaster for me.

    What, why? Dude, it's brand new hardware that will compete against current gen computers. Which cost 1000+$, I don't get people that say this should cost 200$ or even 300$, it's just logistically impossible.

    I was always expecting a 400$ / 500$ price for the base models for both ps4 and xbone.

    Don't forget that you can download some games on Steam and play them completely offline. So it's not that DRM bullcrap.

    Sorry for the OT, but is the Offline mode on Steam working better now? I always had problems with that function, when I needed it.

    I gotta say, I wouldn't be too worried if Xbox One actually went ahead and did this, as long as in fact it did have a Offline mode like steam.

    It's a 65". Like you said, you can't get a TV that's too big, ahah. It's a plasma too, so games look very contrasty because plasma is the only tech that can actually get perfect blacks, and there's no ghosting whatsoever even on fast games like Wipeout. The only thing I need to be aware of is burnt images, it's not as risky on this new plasma TV's but if you leave something static on your TV for a few hours, it can burn the pixels down.

    Also, this model suffers from some glare, but I don't mind because I always watch TV / Play games in the evening. And if I want to use it in the day I just pull the blinds down.

    It also has 3D but I rarely use it, some games actually gain a lot of depth, I remember I loved Arkham City in 3D. Few blu-rays nowadays come with 3D as well, I was extremely impressed at Prometheus, best 3D in a movie I've ever seen, so sharp too.

    All in all, I like! Plasma FTW.

    • Your account allows you to play the games you license on any console.
    • Your Xbox One must connect to the internet every 24 hours to keep playing games.
    • When playing on another Xbox One with your account, this is reduced to one hour.
