The populations still strong on Xbox, it makes sense as there's obviously a lot fewer games available to split the player base. The latest update also made some small improvements to frame rate and reduced tearing slightly. Not huge changes though.


Is there a TitanfallStats.com like there is a BF4Stats.com? It looks like p-stats doesn't have it listed. http://p-stats.com/ Which is odd, considering they have a access to a lot of other EA shooters API.

Speaking of, when I look at 2015, I'm more hyped for Xbone exclusives than PS4. Xbox'll have Scalebound, Tomb Raider 2 (at least for 9-12 months, I guess), Inside, Below, Halo 5, Quantum Break and Crackdown.

PS4'll have Bloodborne (which I'm very excited about), Uncharted 4 (it looks pretty, but I'm not a huge fan of the series and The Order which hasn't had great word of mouth the last time it was shown off. PS4 also has No Man's Sky, but that's hitting PC too. Plus whatever surprises may hit both consoles.

Even through the end of this year, Xbox gets Sunset Overdrive and a Halo collection. Does the PS4 have anything else exclusive this year outside of Driveclub which Forza H2 is apparently trouncing in the quality department?

I also doubt Crackdown One or Scalebound will be 2015. QB might.

You guys should probably try shilling the Wii U in the PS4 thread. They're the ones more likely to be desperate for a decent game to play. It's funny checking in on the thread every so often and seeing people getting excited over playing Towerfall, Spelunky, Binding of Issac, TLoU, etc.

Be honest :If you could only buy one console out of the big three which one would it be?
Bear in mind that the xbox one has halo and sunset overdrive and a twenty gb patch. Ps4 has no games that aren't on ps3 and no online multiplayer, no YouTube app and no download pausing. The wii u has bayonetta but the console is made with children aged 3-6 in mind, and only gets 5 games per annum.

Be honest

PS4 has no games you can't play on PS3, but Xbox has Halo.

You don't see it, do you. It must be like the difference between 1080peas or 912.

Still shits all over the ps4s biggest exclusive of the year though.

Reminder : Fantasia music evolved metacritic 80, Driveclub metacritic 71 (and dropping) :roflolmao:

I don't think anyone in Canada is providing SD boxes except my extremely cheap landlord. You can get a free to air PVR for around the same price as the MS European TV tuner if you're in the US or Canada, I had one.


I'd submit that knowingly negligently storing millions of customers personal details, including credit card details, unencrypted - until some child eventually hacked in and stole them, coincidentally denying all of said customers any online multiplayer for a full month - was a bigger sin than the original e3 reveal of the xbox one. But that's none of my business.

If you're only offended by dodgy rights management issues then sony got you covered there http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal

Let's not forget their attempts to digitally manage the rights to driveclub before the absolute outrage forced them into a quick 180 http://www.computerandvideogames.com/462960/driveclub-upgrades-no-longer-require-active-ps-plus-subscription/?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-News-RSS you must have been real mad about that?

I am glad you found it in your heart to forgive and forget, you're a good Christian :v:

I thought TLOU was the PS4 big exclusive (like Halo) myself, but what do I know about sales of games?

I was in fact quite annoyed at the Driveclub DRM issue, to which Sony immediately apologized for within 24 hours. It was disheartening not to hear them tell me I "wasn't ready" for their cool digital plans that would have prevented second-hand sales or game rentals. You'll also notice after the previous DRM thing, Sony haven't tried it since.

I also agree the Driveclub launch has been badly handled, as I am capable of admitting faults exist with the product I bought.

Well come on now that's not true is it. A lot of them will be the same, see Destiny and Diablo 3 and rear end creed unity as some recent examples. Plus all sports games except PES are the same.

There isn't a long list of games that look better on Xbox, though. There are two scenarios so far:

1) Game looks same on both
2) Game looks better on PS4

So owning a PS4 means you get equivalent or better looking. Owning an Xbox gets you equivalent or worse.

THat's true, but with xbox you get online multiplayer that actually works, a bunch of DLNA stuff, TV input, all the snapping poo poo, dominoes pizza, a better controller, cool voice commands, a camera, better quality voice chat, Live buddy with crafty, monthly UI updates, Sunset OD, Forza, Titanfall, Master chief collection, NO driveclub, EA Access. Plus it's 50 dollars cheaper.

No brainer really

I've had no trouble with any online multiplayer short of the Destiny launch, I don't use DLNA, I have a TV remote, can order pizza on the web browser, controllers are personally subjective, the PS4 can do voice commands with any mic, party chat got a clear improvement with 2.0, we don't need updates to give us things like controller battery life because we had them at launch, Forza is on 360, Titanfall is on 360, MCC is on 360, a free racing game demo (whenever we get it) is bad?

Like I thought what I played of BL2 was fine because I didn't understand like a single internet joke reference. I was like "Bonerfarts sure is a weird name, dude" while everybody else was dying inside.

Bonerfarts was hilarious because he was getting frustrated that all his other names he came up with were already taken. Perhaps he should have called them XBonerfarts, or Bonerfarts One (The Third One).

Basement Crawl, Driveclub, Infamous First Light and Second Son, Killzone, Knack, Resogun, Warframe, War Thunder, Zen Pinball. Almost 91, but not quite there.

I guess Wikipedia is out of date. You should update it.

Upgraded them all to higher resolution and frame rates and added in some lighting effects. All for 60 dollars.
