Yeah I like opposing arguments, and too rethink my stance on particular subjects. I mean how boring would it be if everyone agreed with you. And I would love it if Microsoft was creating major competition for Sony, with a more powerful system and better games. If this happened I wouldn't hesitate in buying both systems. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens at E3. PS. This is the type of thing I like too see from Microsoft ~ http://au.gamespot.c...e-games-6408992 ................................... $1 Billion into Next-Gen Game Development, Yes Please.

O.K fair point on Porn having an influence on the technological evolution of entertainment. But the reason that the Xbox 360 had the better version of 3rd party games, is because the PS3 was so hard to programme for ( a problem that the PS4 will not have ). Due mostly in part too the weird design of it's hardware. It didn't have Developer Friendly Tools, and as such most Dev's found it easier to design their games around Xbox 360 architecture, and then to port it too the PS3 ( with most of these ports being of sub-par quality ). After which everyone liked to show side by side comparisons of the Xbox 360's graphical superiority. Really looking at the Specs the PS3 was the more powerful system. This is evident when you look at the exclusives for each of the Systems. The PS3 has beautiful exclusives, which are of a better quality than anything the Xbox 360 has produced.

I agree with the entire first portion of what you said ( up to the second paragraph ). The PlayStation 4 will be the more capable machine, and will be able to produce a higher quality of game. The only thing stopping it from reaching it's full potential is if 3rd party developers decide to make the Xbox One their primary console of choice ( which could possibly happen if the Xbox One starts too majorly outsell the PS4/ Dev's will want the larger market share/ more money ). I hope that for 3rd party games, Dev's put in some options for a greater ability to change Advanced Graphics Settings ( like you can for PC games ). For instance being able to change the Settings for Particle Effects, Texture Filtering and Quality, Depth of Field, Better Shader Modelling, Better Shadows, Tessellation, Distortion Effects, HDR ( Light Bloom ), SSAO ( Ambient Shadows ) etc, etc. So that the PS4 can reach it's full potential, and not be held back by the sub-par Xbox One. I agree that the Xbox One will sell very well, and will probably beat the PS4 in sales. And this scares me a bit, because Microsoft doesn't care about pushing the boundaries of gaming like Sony does. All of this is also very important for 'PC only' gamers, because a lot of the best games come about because of new consoles and the potential money that can be made out of them. And are you joking about the porn industry influencing Blu-Ray. First and foremost, the biggest entertainment industry is 'Gaming'. Secondly the Porn industry is dwindling in Sales due to the advent of 'Free Sharing' Porn Sites on the Internet. I didn't even know that they even sold Blu-Ray's of Porn Movies ( seems kind of pointless and futile too me ). Also HD DVD was never on an even keel with Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray movies have an obvious higher quality of sound and picture than HD DVD, and can also store a lot more information ( there are even plans for new Blu-Rays that will be created with up to 100 GB's of on-disc storage ). The Xbox 360 Multiple Disc thing was never going to be a part of the future of gaming. And in the future they will probably phase out disks altogether( including Blu-Ray ), and eventually become 100% Digital. And on the last bit of your statement, Sony ( at their Press Conference ) came out and showed us a powerful system that is Developer friendly. Showing their focus on developing great expansive new games for this next generation. They showed exclusive games like Killzone Shadow Fall, and Infamous Second Sons. Both of which were enough to satiate my appetite for games until they show us more at E3. Anyway E3 is right around the corner, and we will see what both consoles have left up their sleeves very soon...

So who's pre-ordering GTA V?

Can't argue with that. EB Guys are assholes... -
Money (and things to buy with it)
BlackSox9 replied to Samurai_tbag's topic in GTA 5 Pre-Release Discussion (Closed)
Remembers loading dozens of saves in order to cheat on the Inside Track Betting Machines. Continuously picking the Horse with the greatest odds in order to win millions of dollars... Then going off to buy every purchasable property in Los Santos... PS. Only did this on the second playthrough. The First time I played GTA SA I would rob people in the little Shopping Centre near one of the Safehouse's in Central Los Santos. Then run back to the Safehouse after getting too many stars for killing police, who were trying to intervene in my robberies. Easy money, and easy pistol ammo. Ahh those were great times ... -
So who's pre-ordering GTA V?

Just tried to buy GTA V's Collector's Edition from EB Games ( our version of Gamestop ), which is the exclusive retailer that sell's it here in Australia. The guy behind the counter practically laughed at me when I asked him if any were still available. He said that the only people that had gotten a reserved copy for it, had ordered it last year and then upgraded the same day it was announced to the collector's edition ( plus not everyone that ordered it last year got a copy ). So with no alternatives available ( because the Rockstar Warehouse doesn't deliver to OZ ), I had no option but to get the Special Edition. Oh Well looks like no Khamelion Electric car for Multiplayer... -
Old Guns and New Guns
BlackSox9 replied to FALLOUT3D3MON's topic in GTA 5 Pre-Release Discussion (Closed)
Some nice ideas. It will be interesting to see how Rockstar handle modded weapons. Whether attachments are lost, upon picking up a different weapon of the same type. And if there is some kind of weapon storage, where you can store the different modded variants of guns in the same weapon class. Guess we'll find out just how in-depth the weapon modding system will be on September 17th... -
I think I read somewhere that the Xbox One would be incorporating compatibility with American Cable Companies first. With Microsoft slowly making additional cable TV ( like Foxtel here in Oz ) available for the rest of the territories around the world afterwards. So it could be days, weeks or even months before the Xbox One has compatibility with Australian Satellite and Pay TV Networks. And as for the Sony's Nex-Gen Console, I have no idea. I guess we'll have to wait for E3 to find out more info about any additional features the PS4 might have.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm just comparing both systems too each other. And I'm "knocking" the Xbox One because I can see this generation beginning just like the last one did. With everyone blinded by Microsoft's bullshit, and the PlayStation not reaching it's full potential. Already with all the evidence against the X1, people are talking about buying it, or are leaning more towards it over the PS4. I'm just trying to provide some facts about both Nex-Gen Systems, and the old generation systems as well. These facts people don't want too hear. They just want to blindly buy the same crap over and over again, instead of supporting a company that is looking to evolve the Gaming Industry. Not too break into the Multi-Media Industry like Microsoft. Microsoft has shown that it's next console is not focused on games, both with the limited power of their system, and with it's press conference's focus on TV and Internet over showcasing any new games or IP's. I'm hoping people aren't dumb this time, and buy the right system ( The PlayStation 4 ). So that games don't stagnate in mediocrity under Microsoft for the next 8 years. I can already see all the advertising for the X1 everywhere here in Oz, and I can barely see anything for the PS4. Microsoft knows how to advertise to the casual audience, and this Gen will probably turn out the same way here as it did before with the last Gen ( with the Shitbox winning here ). It will probably do better in the States as well. The Europeans will probably be the only one's smart enough to seeing through Microsoft's bullshit and buy the right console.

What's the matter, you mad bro? I know that the truth hurts, but it's good to live in the real world. Instead of this fantasy one in which Microsoft and their Xbox are somehow helping gaming...

With a ranking system of 1 to 10. And with 1 being an old Atari 400, and 10 being a top of the line Gaming PC with something like a Radeon HD 7990 Dual-GPU Graphics Card. I would say that the PS4 is about a 7.5, and on the same ranking system I would only give the Xbox One about a 6.5. The X1 is pathetically weak compared to the top of the range stuff that you can see today.
-
Yeah I admitted I only bought a PS3, I have never stated otherwise. I'm obviously a fan of Sony. Other than my PS3 I use my Gaming PC for Strategy Games like Total War/ Company of Heroes, and for some RPG's ( for the Mods ).
-
With the Teraflops part, the 1.84 TFLOPS is just a base line measurement. The PS4 will obviously be overclocked, and will therefore be able to achieve much higher numbers.

Your not a Fanboy even though you only have a XBL Gamertag, O.K.....

Perfect Reply.

Yeah sure, I can understand that. I just hope that there are more towns in the final game.

*Takes tissue*, thanks Gunny. But in all seriousness GTA V's game world will be great, I am sure. It just won't look like Dupz Map...

Even if the Map isn't released early by Rockstar ( or leaked ), GTA V's release date is only 4 months away. Plus Dups map makes me cry every time I look at it. It can't be that barren, sparse and desolate. It was promised that GTA V's game world would be the best GTA game world yet...
-
Read my last post. It would be a waste of time to start making one now ( Plus I don't have the skill that Dup has anyway ), and Rockstar will probably be releasing the Map soon.
-
That's exactly my point. No one knows exactly how the entirety of the map will look. Even much of Dup's map is based on Speculation. Rockstar will be releasing the Map soon anyway, so a lot of this speculation is pointless and ultimately futile...
-
Alright, do you know when he'll be finished? Because GTA V's right around the corner, and it looks like Dup has no idea where the additional towns ( if there even are any ) will be located... Edit: Also the Train Tracks seems to do a massive pointless loop, going out into the middle of nowhere then return to Los Santos. So where is Los Santos sending it's freight trains? At least in San Andreas it made a bit more sense ( with multiple Cities ).
-
A lot of the Map seems kind of pointless to me. What I mean by this is that you have the Highway traveling along the edge of the coast but there is no urbanisation represented in the North, West and North-West potions of the map. I thought that there might be some more towns up that way... ...or something to justify a massive Highway being built up there.

I didn't know you could get MGS 1 on Xbox. You can only get it on PC, not on Xbox. And MGS 3 was an exclusive for years up until fairly recently. Also there are 2 new games coming out for both the Xbox and PlayStation, and neither of them are called MGS 5. The first one is called Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, and the second is called Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain.
-
MGS 4 still is for the PS3.
