Re: Talking Point: Did Sony PlayStation's E3 2016 Press Conference Deliver?

I'd probably call it a wash and say they both were good and bad in their own ways. MS, I'm not sure announcing Scorpio this early was a good idea. It seems like the X1S is selling well on Amazon- the 500GB model apparently peaked at #2 on the Amazon all format charts- but we'll see what momentum they have. Sony had some good announcements- the Spider-man game and whatever Kojima's making both look interesting. Games for both look nice, MS's Xbox Anywhere initiative is nice to have, overall, I'll call it a tie.

I will say straight up, though, that you all are getting hyped for the wrong game with "Horizon" in the title...

Re: Reaction: Why Sony Won't Deploy PS4 Exclusives on PC

As an Xbox One owner, I really don't know how to feel about this. I mean, the January NPD suggests the X1 was down year-to-year while PS4 was up. Halo 5 was the worst-selling mainline entry in the series. Forza 6 and Forza Horizon 2 stalled after selling 1 million copies. Rise of the Tomb Raider struggled to sell 1 million, and the PC version was released pretty quickly. Sunset Overdrive bombed.

Is this going to be another Sega Dreamcast situation or what? I have so many questions and not a lot of answers. MS has an X1/Win10 summit in 13 days, but this does feel like MS is prepping us for when they abandon console gaming altogether. And I'm kinda sad about it.

Re: Nina Williams Is Back for Blood in Tekken 7

Slightly more excited at this point that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is going to be backwards compatible on Xbox One. Apparently, it slipped early, and there were reports on NeoGAF and Reddit that it worked, and worked really well.

Sadly, it was taken down, and I couldn't verify this with my physical copy of the game, but it's probably going to get added in soon for real, and the fact that people say it ran well has real good implications for the other fighters down the road.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 95

Played Forza 6 and The Pinball Arcade this weekend. Forza 6 is all I'm playing on my Xbox One at the moment- I have Halo 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, I just need to start those. Inching along in career, now I'm running Le Mans prototypes with the Mazda 787B. Pinball Arcade added No Fear: Dangerous Sports on the Steam version this weekend, and it sounds like they're adding Judge Dredd for Christmas.

Re: Sony Knows Exactly What PS4 Firmware Update Features You Want

Actually, another thing I'd like to see is something off of the Xbox One. You know how, on the X1, you can highlight a game, press a button, and go to a "manage game" function where you can download all your DLC at once?

If PS4 doesn't have that, it should, considering all the DLC pieces for DriveClub and DOA5LR.

@Vorlon Its an easy mistake to make, but the only thing that's Porsche related in Ruf vehicles is the bodyshell, and even that's heavily modified.

And this doesn't take into account that Ruf has no equivalent for the 928, 944/968, 918 Spyder Hybrid, 911 GT1, etc. etc.
