Normally, I would agree with Cliff, but in this case being a huge proponent of new hardware and expanding how games can be played. After the reception and hate that came from many in the community when it came to Kinect. I think this is Karma coming back around.
Its going to be hard for people to be convinced that this is the way to go. Not because VR is bad, but because stagnation in gaming has been allowed for so long by the forces that now want to innovate. Well the audien...
Sorry LP, you are actually making Flames76 point. For a user base that large, the time frame to clear 2 million is not fantastic. Especially if you consider that there are no other exclusive titles on the platform, and there has been a drought since the Spring of 2015.
If you are talking lifetime sales, then you are handicapping your point. Rise Of The Raider has only been out less than a month, and all the official sales numbers have not been released. So we can't take y...
Microsoft did not come in 3/4ths into development of Tomb Raider. Do you have proof of that Chameleon? Any links we can read from the happy development team lead by Brian Horton right now?
The last time I read, Brian said Microsoft's help and expertise in many areas helped the team accomplish what they had in mind with the title. Otherwise it would have been difficult to accomplish. The fact that Rise of The Tomb Raider has reviewed well, and is one of the best ti...
I'm sorry Kenwonobi, there is no way you can gurantee with a bigger install base that there would be larger sales. It sounds good in theory, but it would be far worse that a larger install base resulted in lower sales. Which is just as possible.
Let's look at the multiplatform releases for the Playstation 4? They are literally the same as the Xbox One. Except Sony has marketing deals with two huge publishers. There's no way they would put more marketing money into...
It's pretty obvious this about platforms, and not about the game.
Rise of The Tomb Raider is incredible on Xbox One. I like the fact that Brian is talking about the game. Those talking about sales just really sound crazy.
Sony may not have had the resources to cover the sales of Street Fighter 5 missing the PC fan base. Which is just as rabid, and active as the console fanbase.
Microsoft could have easily covered the PC sales if that were an issue for Windows 10.
SqureEnix and Capcom did the same kind of deal with the console manufactures.
It's just that one fanbase hates on one without realizing they are being hypocrites on the other side.
I want this same indignation with Street Fighter 5. Which happens to be exclusive for an entire generation, and has always been multiplatform.
Also for those that say Capcom would not have had the finance to pay for a new title in the series. There's no way in hell Microsoft would have let the title not be made with their resources for the Xbox One. If they can offer Square Enix a deal, they damn sure can offer one of the most storied fighting game franchises in history o...
Rise of The Tomb Raider is absolutely amazing! One of the best games I've played this generation so far. I can't speak on sales, I will say if you own an Xbox One, you need to get this game. The story is incredible, and the quality of the action is just on another level.
If you are some kind of gamer complaining about the console sales. You need to look in the mirror and get your life right. You are so stuck on "your" console. You are not a gamer in any fash...
Tomb Raider has been around for a very long time on multiple platforms. Tomb Raider releasing next year under the same circumstance will take time to reach whatever sales goal vagrant fanboy's want to think up. The Playstation 4 is going to have a big year in 2016. So you have no crystal ball to say one way or the other of it being better received on the console.
Now that the Playstation is more of a multiplatform console. Exclusives may not do so well as a COD bundle nex...
The funny thing is if you take out exploration from "Uncharted"...Then what game would Uncharted actually be? The adventure aspects of the game make it so you like exploring. Which in effect is exactly what Tomb Raider has always been an exploring/adventure game.
People seem to forget that as Lara raided tombs she did so with two guns in here hand. Dual wielding at that. You could even train in Lara's London home to hone your adventure fighting skills, as well a...
It absolutely is the same thing. Since Street Fighter hit consoles in the 90's it has been a multiplatform title. For Capcom to then suddenly in this generation make it an exclusive to one platform (two/PC). They are doing the same thing that Sqaure has done.
In fact one could say the Street Fighter 5 exclusive is far more demonizing. Since it will be exclusive for an entire generation.
If your selfish ire is directed at this retarded practice, then that ...
The Xbox One has been a fantastic console since it "actually" hit shelves. All of this hoopla about Microsoft messing up with the reveal exposes how bad game journalism is. I feel sorry for the readers.
Microsoft in one month of the Xbox One reveal made more changes to their platform than any one thought they could. The "problems" people are talking about are all based on hate. I truly believe that. The...
An entire console community requested the feature. Microsoft made it happen. How does the consumer overhype what they ask for? Confusing article with no basis of context to argue from when the premise alone negates why Backwards Compatibility for the Xbox 360 was made for the Xbox One.
If you are at all using Stars Wars or COD as a reason why Microsoft may not best Sony for the months of the Oct-Decemeber. Then you are a supporter of 3rd party games, and deals. Which from last generation where called all sorts of irrelevant names.
Star Wars is on both consoles. So the bundles are not the only thing gamers are going to consider. You add in new titles as opposed to rehash or remaster games from a previous generation. Then the c...
This is exactly what Kinect is. In fact Kinect 2.0 also tracks heat, and bones. If people at all think this is great. Then we know what the nonsense spewed Microsoft's way for the Kinect was simply hate...
We won't even talk about VR coming with the system. Let alone the stand alone price. This is why many people still are all for Kinect on the Xbox One.
