Duke Togo Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Seriously considering making the switch from PS4 to Xbox One for Titanfall alone, but I'm worried the second I make the switch and commit, Naughty Dog will announce some crazy awesome game like Uncharted 4 or Atlus will throw down Persona 5 as a PS4 exclusive or something along those lines. Decisions decisions..... Titanfall is a timed exclusive. At the very least it's coming out on PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Titanfall is a timed exclusive. At the very least it's coming out on PC. I know man, but I don't have a decent rig to run it (and if I started to build one now, I know I'd go overboard and start throwing in a GTX 780 and what-not, which is stuff I don't really need).

However, Titanfall looks ultra smooth now that it's by the hands of infinity ward's founder and 2/3rds of the original staff that migrated over from activision.

Problem is that I despise Halo....a lot. So to be honest, I'd be leaning completely on Titanfall, which may not warrant switching out from a brand (playstation) that I've already heavily invested in (tons of digital media/games purchased, ps plus, I have a ps vita, etc.) Meh, I might just stick with playstation and wait for Titanfall or the inevitable sequal to get ported over (crossing fingers that this happens).

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 i'm just getting a launch ps4 to flip, use the profit to get the ps4 after the holidays. if it doesn't sell or profit is not worth selling, i'll just open it for the holidays. win win. i would wait and see how each console initially sells and the software sales attached for each console. hopefully the cod, battlefield 4 will give an indicator where the majority of the console online community will migrate to for the next gen. maybe people will still remain on their 360s for online gaming.

There's no big reason to buy either console at launch, just wait for Titanfall to come out and if you still love it after watching some gameplay videos then pick up the X1 bundle without kinect.

mikeszekely Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Seriously considering making the switch from PS4 to Xbox One for Titanfall alone How is it that this game seems to be getting a crap ton of hype, yet it's not even on my radar? And I don't mean that in a "What's this game you keep talking about, I'm not familiar with it?" way. I mean it in a, "another shooter... meh" kind of way. I'm not saying that it looks bad or anything, but it looks like the kind of game I'd buy for $20 or less on a Steam sale while crossing my fingers in the hopes that the single-player campaign is longer than 4 hours. Certainly not a game that would sell me a console. In any case, it probably shouldn't sell you one, either. It's almost certainly coming to PS4 eventually.

It's almost certainly coming to PS4 eventually. agree, it most certainly will but they can't say anything due to the financial exclusivity money dished out by Microsoft for a timed exclusive. same thing for the pc version of GTA V which is all but confirmed. but won't be aknowledged until after the console copies are sold. to avoid undercutting profits on the console platform (nvidia).

I'm guessing they have a bunch of them already built and realize no one want them so they are pushing kinect for the first release to clean out warehouses.

I'm guessing they have a bunch of them already built and realize no one want them so they are pushing kinect for the first release to clean out warehouses. Sales already slipped, which is why they backtracked on everything they have so far. I think backing off on the Kinect is a bridge too far for Microsoft. Checking the pre-order charts, it's mind-boggling to see CoD: Ghosts and BF4 for the PS4 outselling the Xbox One versions. Xbox has always been the go-to console for FPS players, and the 360's versions of those games always outsell the PS3 versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a cheap, child-friendly Pokemon-machine. May not sell zillions, but it'll allay the fears of any parent who worries about "3D hurting their eyes".

My 6-year old nephew told me he wants a 3DS for his birthday. Kid doesn't know how to take care of his stuff yet, and it's not like he's going to carry it around with him. He's going to play with it in the house, because his sisters don't want to play with him. 2DS should be fine for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a cheap, child-friendly Pokemon-machine. May not sell zillions, but it'll allay the fears of any parent who worries about "3D hurting their eyes". I will say, I know nintendo doesn't suggest 3D use for kids under 7 (I don't even use it for long, since it drains battery), but I don't actually think there is any scientific evidence to suggest that damage occurs with 3D. 3D's not even an issue with the eyes, but rather, the brains integration of two visual fields. The eye will simply perceive what it sees, even in young children. In babies, the eye is developed, but it's the babies own cognition and use of the eyes that isn't developed to the point where they can shift focus, etc. like older individuals (but you wouldn't be giving a baby a DS anyhow). I believe I've even read that some physicians have suggested that allowing a child to see 3D might tip off professionals to potential issues in the case that they can't see 3D correctly (such as in the case of being cross-eyed, need for vision correction, etc. ). I'm sure Nintendo makes it's suggestions as a cautionary statement against the unknown (modern autostereoscopy is still fairly uncharted territory health wise, since the integration of two images relies more heavily on the brain rather than in the case of active or passive 3D lens ). That being said, I know there is a huge stigma against extensive 3D, and I know a lot of people get discomfort, especially when moving around while using the 3D, so the 2DS might still be a good move for that reason alone.
