Decline PS4 wins the console war against XboxONE, yet it is a hollow victory as Consolesdämmerung is upon us

[sexbad?]

Hilariously enough, the shittily ported Dark Souls actually recognizes my cheap-ass controller with no configurating necessarily (and even the vibration works), unlike other games, which require the Xbox360 controller (for which I'm not willing to shell out 30 euro's).

Cheaper, sturdier, more comfortable, an actual high-quality directional pad, can switch between XInput and DirectInput for both old and new game support. Only problem is lack of rumble. The F510 has rumble but for some reason they discontinued that one and now it's hard to find.

I have the F710 from some Amazon sale, and it looks like it's the same exact shape as that. I've been meaning to get an actual Microsoft controller, because the Logitech one is very uncomfortable. It is heavier, fatter and more oddly shaped than a real 360 controller. The deadzone on the sticks mentioned in this thread is pretty apparent, and the triggers take more force to hold down. I got Spelunky recently, which requires you to hold RT to run, and after like fifteen minutes my right index finger is dead cold from holding it down. I never experienced that back when I had a 360 or when I bothered to socialize with my roommates.

Xbox One is slightly better but still passable, though it's the same thing at every launch.

It is?

The XBox has Forza Motorsports so it's +1 solid game presently.

Forza is basically the only reason anyone should buy one of the new consoles at this early stage.

 

[Volrath]

But Forza is shit.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Furza.

No it isn't. Both consoles literally have no gaems. It's pathetic.

Yeah, you can get Forza Motorsports. Then you can spend hundreds of dollars unlocking the cars, you ridiculous fucking tool.

From my experience everything from Logiteh, except for mouses, is overpriced shit. Mouses are overpriced but good.

Whoa, Nelly. I didn't actually buy Forza. I'm not spending $560 for a fucking console game in the first place. I figured if you were retarded enough to be curious, you wouldn't mind the price-gated DLC cars.

After all, both the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One actually expect you to pay $60 every single year just for the right to play your video games online. If you're that price conscious, you might want to look into Steam.

Gran Turismo 6 has price-gated cars, too. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/05/gran-turismo-6-microtransaction-prices-surface

You'll be able to buy in-game credits in denominations of 500,000, 1 million, 2,500,000 and 7 million. The cheapest pack is set to cost £3.99/€4.99, while a million will cost you £7.99/€9.99 and you'll need to exchange £15.99/€19.99 for 2,500,000 credits. As you'd expect though, the best value pack is the one containing 7 million credits, which sets you back £39.99/€49.99. We're still tracking down US prices, and will update this story when we know more.

I can't wait to pay a monthly fee to rent games that I've already bought for PS1/2.

The Definitive Edition will be 1080p, 30FPS on both PS4 and Xbox One, Amos said.

Next-Generation my ass, and they wanna charge $60 for this capped PC version.

Microsoft is paying YouTube video creators for Xbox One coverage, according to a report.

A new scheme by Machinima has offered its video partners an additional $3 per thousand video views for featuring Xbox One content, according to Ars Technica.

Videos must contain at least 30 seconds of Xbox One game footage, a mention of the console by name, and tag 'XB1M13' to qualify.

A leaked agreement has also mentioned that video partners "may not say anything negative or disparaging about Machinima, Xbox One, or any of its games", and must keep the agreement confidential.

The report has said the agreement might go against FTC guidelines for endorsements in advertising, which must disclose "a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product that might materially affect the weight or credibility of the endorsement".

lol Stingy with that jewgold aren't you microshit?

 

[AlexOfSpades]

According to a leaked copy of the full legal agreement behind the promotion, video creators "may not say anything negative or disparaging about Machinima, Xbox One, or any of its Games" and must keep the details of the promotional agreement confidential in order to qualify for payment. In other words, to get the money, video makers have to speak positively (or at least neutrally) about the Xbox One, and they can't say they're being paid to do so.

Isnt this shit illegal?

"Illegality" is the standard modus operandi to keep these monstrous inflexible firms competitive. But only them are allowed to commit fraud, remember that. Saying otherwise would brand you a commie.

It doesn't surprise me one bit. There's too much riding on these new consoles, way too much to play it by the book. Especially with such horrible launch titles.
