    MS is also releasing the BC versions as soon as they are done rather than waiting for a batch.

    Xbox One owners will also be the proud owners of two exclusive vehicles — The “Armadillo” from Gears of War and the Warthog variant from Halo, dubbed the “HogSticker” – in addition to several Xbox-exclusive Garage items like Fizzie and the Overcharge Rocket Trail from Sunset Overdrive.

    Sony isn't the only one supposedly developing a upgraded current gen system.

    Rumor: XBone 1.5 in progress
    I’ve heard whispers about an upgraded Xbox One for a while now, and Microsoft has been public about the possibility. At a press briefing earlier this month, Xbox head Phil Spencer hinted to journalists that his company has been exploring the possibility of evolving hardware.

    Great, so what? With both of these next gen consoles I own now are gonna be like the New 3DS? The old version can't play the newer games worth dick? Way to really stick it the customers, for both of them.

    Unless both companies offered some kind of low cost upgrade for existing owners (and even then) there's no way to look at this other then screwing the consumers for their own shortsightedness with their original designs.

  15. #4055

    Almost wondering if this is intended anti-piracy methodology at play, too. For example, if someone opened their 360 to try and fix it themselves, if you sent it in to MS after, they'd not touch it. But yeah, not having some kind of cheap upgrade or even retail exchange is just going to agitate consumers, especially if we start seeing games that won't run on the not .5 systems.

    This is entirely in play because both companies fucked up majorly with their new systems, selling them with vastly under-powered hardware to save on costs (since consoles have been traditionally sold at a substantial loss). Now with VR features suddenly being the next big thing (PS VR or Hololens/whatever MS may have brewing), both systems are incapable of providing both the needed framerates for VR and the graphics the audience has come to expect. Maybe if consumers weren't beaten over the head the last few years that 30 fps is "ok" if it means pretty graphics they wouldn't have the problem, but that's the corner they've built themselves into.

    I would guess that Rift would be usable with a new variant thanks to their partnership.

    Hopefully it will only matter if you want to play VR games on your PS4/Xbone.

    Be that the case, I'm in the clear since I don't give a rats ass about VR shit.

  19. #4059

    Yeah, I expect this first-gen VR stuff to be a train wreck. I don't even want to call it VR because it's so far from the standard fiction has ingrained into me.

    It's got all the non-gamers buying into the hype and that I think is one of the major things they're gunning for.

    Friend of mine at work, not a gamer at all. He lives and breathes sports, new kicks and other stuff I have no interest in. He is buying into the PS VR hype big time. I spent about 30 minutes telling him why he shouldn't buy VR day one, or hell, even year one. Bringing up valid points. He just wants it for a cool factor. He actually referenced Demolition Man (which I love) but the sex scene. I was dying. If he only knew how bad VR porn is. His brother, who is a game like the rest of us told him the same exact thing. I told him to go ahead and waste his money.

    I want VR to be as awesome as the next person. But it is nowhere close to being Sword Art Online (yes I know Intel is doing something with that) but it'll probably be another 10 years before it's at an acceptable level. Everything now is more or less a guided on rails experience. Even I don't want that, and I'm an early adopting sucker.

    The coolest thing out is the Vive, I think? But you need a whole room dedicated to that. Awesome, but not practical. I want to try it.
