There will still be GT so why should Drive Club be a solution to that?
.

Someone replied back citing Driveclub, whether it was to fill void for a lack of GT or suppose to be a good title to rival Forza 5 you'd have to ask bevo. I'm listing a lot of big well thought of games that Xbox has or coming very soon and PS4 is pretty lacking. Of course GT is coming, but when? We agree on the price, its a major sticking point.

I don't care for Titanfall that much, but can objectivly see its a good game and typical of the COD devs to produce something that GG have been trying to reproduce but can't. It has hundreds of awards and gamers buzzing after playing it after each event showing. Halo and Gears are much loved.

I'm not actually saying Xbox One will win or not win but PS4 worldwide is more than likely. My point is I feel the bad lead up for the Xbox and price have steered a lot people to PS4 but I don't see how the Order 1866, Killzone and the like will satisfy. It wouldn't surprise me once Gears Halo Titanfall are out with a price drop that PS4s specs and good sentiment will subside when people see how they have not many games to play. Destiny might well be the next big thing but MS has that too plus 3 big exclusive names and Sony have a bunch of single player games and a history of crappy online games such as MAG Killzone.

Summery is that MS need a substantial price cut and take a hit on the useless Kinect. This could be a good turnaround with the games due in 2014. Both systems are selling well but MS is losing the UK which it just won. I see some regret coming for some PS4 owners, almost duped by the noise when really you could be playing Titanfall instead of Resogun or a weekend game like Infamous. By the way, not on this forum of course, I'm not expecting agreement here.

The F you MS is still pretty strong but that won't help when your friends are having a blast playing Halo Titanfall Gears Forza.

My other point is Sony, to keep switchers need to get the online ecosystem going with some good online games with their own exclusive online games as well but history shows they can't. As good as Heavy rain and stuff like Order 1866 are, as is God Of War, these are not where the money is and some are getting quite dated, Killzone is a long running joke in the industry. Their tech is very good though.

First, neither console has a steering wheel so I couldn't care less about any of the racing games. I didn't mean drive club would take the place of GT. To me GT is a bad game. I've just seen many people on here say they weren't getting a ps4 after drive club got delayed.

Second, as for Sony made online games, planetside 2 will probably be the best online shooter to come out in years on any console.

I really don't know why your dismissing the indie games either. Outlast and Resogun are both absolutely great games. Resogun is probably the best game out on either console so far. It's got great graphics, it's big and has perfect gameplay mechanics. It's also really, really hard to finish the game and get to hero mode do the replay value is extremely high. Outlast is probably the scariest game I've ever played by far and I hate those types of games but it got me to play it. Both of those games are also Free. Planetside 2 is also going to be free.

Even warframe and blacklight are better games than anything out on the Xbox right now as far as exclusives.

Dc universe is also great. It's also on the ps3 and PC but it's Sony made and a great mmorpg.

You've either not played these games or are putting games like halo ahead of them for reasons I don't know. I've been there and done that with halo. The last several just like COD have been really boring to me and I couldn't get into them.

You could literally buy a PS4 and not even purchase a game right now and have 5 or 6 not good but great games to play. Planetside 2 is really the most over looked game out there. It will be one of the best if not the best shooter to come out since the console launch.

Like I've said before. I've got both consoles and there's nothing to play on the Xbox except forza and I traded it in for madden the other day for the ps4 and I had already got rid of madden once. Without a wheel forza became worthless pretty fast.

I'm not really sure why you think the ps4 has nothing. It has a better lineup then the Xbox one with its free to play games alone.

In all honesty I'm really aggravated by the Xbox. I don't know how they've went backwards so badly. I played the 360 way more then the ps3 after people stopped playing socom confrontation. Microsoft dropped the ball with the Xbox one. It's inferior in every way to the ps4 so far including online gaming and exclusives. They will have to work wonders to catch up. I think they'll get it together eventually but it may be to late by the time they catch up.

I'll stop now. It's just weird how you're dismissing the best games out there so far and not even considering planetside 2. the ps4 seems to me it is embracing what PC gaming does. For them to give away games like Resogun, don't starve, warframe, dc universe, outlast, and that new top down zombie shooter is awesome. I can't see the Xbox ever doing that.

I came into these consoles open minded and previously an Xbox fan over playstation and the ps4 has won me over with its game library and ease if online play. Something I didn't expect to happen at all.

Forza is already out and it has not sold that well in numbers so I do see Driveclub in terms of sales figures doing well compared to Forza. GT might come out this year or next.

You list only Titanfall as only the new game confirmed to come out this year in your last post. If for PS4 owners having access to about 12 FPS games by the year end is not enough and Titanfall is a must that they can't wait for it to come to PS4 as an improved successor to it then they could also get an Xbox 360 if they don't already have one and it may be the more popular version of it.

PS4 currently has substantial more games coming out for it than Xbox One in 2014. Big budget shooter like Destiny being shown off on PS4 too by the creators of Halo so there is a lot of attractions for PS4 if you are interested in FPS games which seems main genre you are focussing on.

I don't see much regret as if games is what you want then it is looking like PS4 will outnumber the Xbox One at the moment comfortably.

If person is a big Xbox Halo and Gears fan, when the new ones come out which is probably a year or two away, price for Xbox One should be cheaper and affordable. In the meantime, buyer can enjoy playing all multi-platform games with better performance and having access to a bigger library of games. We are talking about two franchises only big in US, IMO not big enough to make such a difference that it will help beat PS4 in US as things stand now. Something like GTA as exclusive then that will be serious competition worldwide.
 
Sony didn't even manage to tie up GTA when they sold so many more consoles than everyone else that they might as well have been the only ones in town.


And I have to say that the farther Drive Club gets away from the launch date, the less I expect people will care about it when it does come out.

I'm guessing Sony is holding off on drive club to showcase their VR headset. I read that it was going to support it so it's probably going to be the game they use to demo it. Nothing works better for VR headsets than racing games.

I appreciate your personal response but I'm talking about a wider scope. You even admit Planetside 2 is the most overlooked game out there. The other ones you mention are really small numbers. Say DC universe is great shows that you're missing what I've said.

Steering wheels is a very niche thing and personal to yourself plus Thrustmaster do have a wheel for the Xbox One. Do I really have to explain to you how many pad players of Forza GT and Need For speed there have been? Really? I don't see why you bring this up.

I really don't want to go into sales, click ratings etc. Because you've been there done that with Halo doesn't mean everyone or most are like you. I've never played Halo nor Call of Duty for that matter but can understand its appeal and popularity of Halo in the US even if it isn't 100% right now, certainly not dead. Games like Gears sell more in a few months than all these you mention put together.

I'm not dismissing these indie games as rubbish, I've said in the past to consolers there's lots of creativity on Steam and interesting things going on, its what I play. I question the limit of appeal to a much broader audience, which some have switched to PS4 because of the huge mess MS created over the 12 months. It may not be known or understood by you but MS has made a huge design and PR gaff which has really helped Sony in its two places where it had good standing, the US and to a lesser extent UK.

This started with you saying "I wonder if we will see a bunch if PS4s in eBay. " To me that means you think that there is nothing out to play and will be nothing out to play in the future and people will trade in their ps4 and get an Xbox. Once you own the ps4 you realize how many good games are out for the system and you start to see what's so much better about it. I can't imagine people trading in their ps4 for an Xbox. People who bought a ps4 know that the Xbox has halo and gears. They don't care about those games.

There's simply no reason to make the switch from ps4 to Xbox. There is not going to be a lack of games. You don't buy a PS4 in the first place if Halo rules your gaming works. Once you own the ps4 you see what's great about it. You see the great indie games and free Sony games. You hear about planetside 2.

Like I said earlier. I came into this console gen an Xbox fan and was won over but the ps4 games. There simply is nothing to play on the Xbox right now to pull me away from the ps4. Titanfall will be the first game to do it but it probably won't last long because my Xbox one owner friends aren't getting it. They're to afraid to leave COD and I'm afraid that is going to be what kills titanfall. It's geared toward the COD crowd and they seem to be the most closed minded group of players I have ever seen.

It seems like we are having two different arguments. I started mine with the assumption that you meant once people bought a ps4 there would be nothing to play on it. Now you're saying that people won't buy one.

Either way they're both pretty good consoles. They've just switched roles this gen. The ps4 is better and people are defending the Xbox exactly the same way I did the ps4 last gen. It's weird how both consoles are so drastically different than last time. Sony just went in the right direction and Microsoft took a bunch if steps backwards.

I don't know why I get myself sucked into these debates :).

So only when you buy a console, is when you know what games it has? Once you own a PS4 and/or XboxOne, you end up on a decision what is more usable to you. You make it sound like the PS4 is the only console that anyone should ever want. Its not the case for me as I've never cared enough for Playstation exclusives to warrant the purchase of the console. The only thing that the PS4 has going for it, in my opinion, is the sheer price difference, but still its not enough to sway me from Forza. Also, exclusives are hardly something I consider when purchasing a console, both consoles dont really have much for me, Except for Forza. Now if Forza was never invented, I would probably go for a PS4 because of the price difference I mentioned before.

The OP I quoted made it sound like people were going to sell their ps4 because of a luck of games. There are a decent amount of excellent games for the PS4. A huge amount of games really if you consider other launch lineups through the years.

If you're a die hard forza, gears or halo fan you will never stray from the Xbox. It's your chosen IP and you will stick with it. I don't have a favorite game. What I'm liking about the ps4 so far over Xbox is surprisingly the online aspect of it, and the game library. Forza would have been good for me if it supported my Xbox 360 fanatec wheel but it doesn't. It was fun for a few days but got boring quick. I couldn't find any leagues and no one seemed interested in a league on GTP for it.

It's really just preference. I was just saying to the OP of this debate that the PS4 has the games and it's getting the games. There is and will continue to be many games on the ps4 and many of them will be free to play

Understandable, although your post made it seem like "PS4 or die." I like Playstation, they just havent released anything lately that I'm interested in. Although Infamous 2 looks pretty interesting, its still not enough for me to choose PS4 over the Xbox. In my case right now I can only get one for a long while, and FM5 will give me alot more hours of gameplay then anything else out currently, for either gen.

If you're a die hard forza, gears or halo fan you will never stray from the Xbox. It's your chosen IP and you will stick with it.
Not true, it doesnt mean I will never stray, it just means that I like Forza, thats it. All it is doing, is persuading me too choose Xbox over PS4. If something draws my attention from now, to the time that I actually decide to buy next gen, then who knows.. I can very well get a PS4.

I understand your frustration with the wheel situation. Luckily for me I never opted for a wheel. ( well I did, I'm just to broke to justify that cost haha.) The FM part of this forum has died down alot, with it being on new console and all. Me on the other hand, if and when I get the game, Photomode alone will have lots of hours logged by me. As for leagues, I havnt seen much of it here, but I'm sure you can at FM.net, although I never really liked it there.

It's really just preference. I was just saying to the OP of this debate that the PS4 has the games and it's getting the games. There is and will continue to be many games on the ps4 and many of them will be free to play
Exactly. Both consoles are going to be getting games.

I dont completely agree with this statement...I mainly play FPS...And COD does this very well. I have played COD/Modern Warfare for many years. And quite honestly the Title is getting a little stale. IF you had the chance to play COD on the Xbox One you will here lobby chatter of "Man I cant wait till Titanfall". Or "Did you see the new Titanfall trailer"..I think Titanfall will take alot of fans away from COD..I only have a couple hours on Titanfall but I can tell Im not going to put it down for a while...because ALOT of my friends that DONT like COD that mainly play BF4 have gotten it. So I think it will wake up the COD camp and maybe something good will come out of it for the fans of the Series.

Ill be the first to tell you that MS has messed up with the One SO FAR. But in time I think they will have there crap together..probably by summer...In the end people are going to buy what they want for there own reasons...Maybe in a year or so I might pick up a PS4..But my PS3 has collected dust for sometime now
 
I never bought my PS4 last year for it's exclusives or because of microsoft policies. I bought it for the 3rd party games on a more powerful system for less money.
Same, it just seemed like the most logical choice to me. However, I would have loved to be able to play Forza 5, and Titanfall is definitely getting it's share of plaudits so it's a shame I'm going to miss them, amongst others.

The PS4's lack of exclusives at the moment is very disappointing, I mean Driveclub has been pushed back and The Order 1886 doesn't interest me. The other exclusives I haven't mentioned just show how little excitement I have for those.
Where are the sequels such as Motorstorm and Resistance as well? Not even a peep from those.

I still love my PS4 though because the games I do have are brilliant, it's just a shame there are so few :(

Its refreshing to see a comment like this. I understand that most users in here are primary PS4 owners just because Gran Tourismo is a PS game. I would imagine the guys over at FM.net are a little bias also. Hell, even this thread has a sarcasm label "XBone" in it so its expected. I think both counsouls have there faults. But both have there strong points too.
 
Going to my brothers house this weekend to check out Titanfall and the X1. He and his room mate both have an X1 so it should be a good time. They, along with other friends, have been trying to talk me into getting the X1 but I am stubborn about the lack of 3d. I guess we will see what happens after Saturday. The X1 Titanfall bundle is an excellent deal for sure.
 
Like I was saying I have stood behind MS for many years....went thru 6 360's (all at MS expense) and still went back...I think the lack of games is a big deal...there is no way of getting around it...but its a nice running machine...thy have had some good patches come out with the dashboard and things are getting better and better...I think the Titanfall bundle is a good buy....I can tell that as long as the servers stay up this game will have some legs....I find myself running and looking up at the top of a building and think...hell that would be a great place to snipe...and all it takes is a couple jumps and your there..it just opens up mops like I have never seen before...
 
I have Googled this, but I can't find an answer yet; does the XBone support external HDDs yet, if so what's the size limit, and can you install games to it?

No, not yet. There is supposed to be a patch coming soon that adds support for external drives, no release window was given as far as I'm aware.
 
...Where are the sequels such as Motorstorm and Resistance as well? Not even a peep from those...
I appreciate that this is an XbOne thread but I saw your question. I don't think there will be any more Resistance games, primarily because the Chimera have been stopped.

As for Motorstorm well, I'd imagine that they're busy enough with Driveclub for the forseeable future.

In general though, even with two exclusives likely being pushed back to next year, I think people have forgotten that Sony's list of first year exlusives will still be larger. I seem to recall it being eighteen to twelve originally.

Okay, it depends on what games you like - as people will mostly stay with the console that they like the feel of, for what it offers. Both are doing well, and that should be seen as a good thing.
 
Where are the sequels such as Motorstorm and Resistance as well? Not even a peep from those.
A return for MotorStorm isn't off the cards yet. See the reply on the comment from "bitbydeath" here, which doesn't confirm anything but at least shows that they haven't completely forgotten about the series.

And as MeanElf said, they're obviously occupied with DriveClub at the moment.
 
Just had my xbox one break again. It's been screwing up since I got it but I thought it was an OS problem. Now it's doing it almost all the time. You try and start a game and the loading screen will come up then it just kicks you back to the dashboard. It does this with disks and downloaded games. Sometimes when you turn it on it won't get passed the xbox screen, sometimes the xbox screen won't even come up.

I called Microsoft and they will repair it but my problem isn't constant. It will work sometimes and not others. Hard resets fix it sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I was afraid they would think they fixed it because it worked for a few minutes and just send it back.

Here is the only replacement plan they offer. A $500 deposit and they ship you a new xbox one and refund you the $500 when they receive my broken one and they charge you $16 for shipping that is not refunded. I asked if I could send mine first to avoid the deposit and they said no. The only options are repair or the replacement with deposit.

So now I have had around 8 broken 360S and 1 XBOX ONE. When this one breaks out of warranty I'm done. I thought for sure they would have an excellent return policy after how bad the 360 was, but charging for shipping and making you put up a $500 deposit is crazy. The xbox one is only $450 now with titanfall. I'm only getting a console. They should charge $250 at the most and really should offer to let me send mine first with no deposit. Not everyone has $500 to put on hold for 3 weeks.
 
I think you have to press the menu button when you quit out of a game now and actually quit it running, because since the March update, it's been turning on and launching right back into your last session. On a FIFA it was causing all sorts of issues with the EA servers and requiring you to quit out. I now do it with all games, just to be on the safe side.
 
Has anyone seen the new Cortana Assistant?

It's Microsoft's answer to Sir but apparently it stalks your every move and learns everything about you :lol: It's voiced by Jen Taylor as it coming to Windows Phone first but for something that's based on Halo I'm sure it will come to XB One to replace the current voice control system.

Here is the creepy launch trailer.... very 'machines are gonna take over'
