• The next Xbox: everything we know so far

• LLJaf 20/05/2013

  MS have done well to keep quiet. Forza Vista, a new big IP along with the usual end of year biggies and exclusive DLC will be a big selling point.
  
  I will no doubt prefer the PS4, due to Sony catering towards my gaming tastes, but I know from past form, a ridiculous price point beckons for PS4.
  
  Nextbox will be retail £70 cheaper, I reckon. Reply +2

  There is no doubt, PS4 is gonna be successful, just like it predecessors, but if MS set a lower price point than Sony, ( which I think it will and should ) then the Americans will snap it up like an Apple product.
  
  UK too, will embrace it but the Japanese and rest of Europe need convincing. Reply +11

  @Monkeyspoon Why would you need proof, when you've already judged for yourself.
  
  You gonna get a stiffy on Digital Foundry verdict or something. Reply +3

  @IvorB Probably right, but the shit still sells and makes Capcom money. Mikami leaving is probably the reason of the series downfall, quality wise if not the sales. Reply 0

  This ain't the first game to suffer frame rate probs on Wii U. Nba 2k13 is horrendous compared to the Ps3 version. Off tv though, it plays sublimely, as does the Sonic Racing game.
  
  Played Wii U demo on gamepad screen, frame rate seemed fine but the controls on Resi have always been clunky, no? Reply +2

  It was actually gonna premiere at the Nextbox event tomorrow.

• Madden NFL 25 the latest EA game to skip Wii U - what now for FIFA 14?

• LLJaf 17/05/2013

  @MPuzzlemanLives Sonics solo efforts on Wii alone have managed over 10 million sales. Add to that the olympics titles, we're talking about close to 30 million sales on the Wii only.
  
  To question Nintendos partnership with Sega and Sonic is a personal opinion of the writer but obviously not a well thought out one. Reply +2

• LLJaf 17/05/2013

  @dogmanstaruk Sorry but that article is very ignorant. The fact the writer thinks that Nintendo can't compete with Sony and MS is laughable.
  
  He mocks Sonic, but barring FiFA and Battlefield, Sonics value is worth more than any of EA properties.
  
  Lastly, when someone says Nintendo should go multi platform, they're wrong. The reason Nintendo sells millions of their software is because it's locked to their own hardware, which they know inside out and can get the best out of.
  
  Same goes for ND, Polyphony, Sony Santa Monica for PS, Turn 10 and EPIC for MS. These studios know their preferred platform and would struggle to get the same performance from another. Reply 0

  @ollyn The original Vita version was also based on previous years engine and that I'm afraid is lazy and just trying to jump on the launch.
  
  Wii u version, same strategy. Gimmicks are added quickly, they couldn't be bothered to port the new engine over. LAZY.
  
  Early console adopters are a clued on bunch and will see it for what it is and therefore avoid it. Reply +2

• LLJaf 17/05/2013

  There was a time when Fifa games were shit, then they improved but the last few iterations have been lazy and dressed up with fancy naming of so called "improvements".
  
  The Wii U and Vita versions show how lazy they are,but guess what, owners of said consoles are not casual dumbfucks you can piss on and expect good sales. Reply +3

• Polyphony considering PS4 version of GT6; has "unfinished business" with PS3

• LLJaf 16/05/2013

  Yamauchi is one of a few who don't play to the gallery or bow down to the suits.
  
  GT5 has it's flaws but is still my most played game this gen and the fact Yamauchi wants to improve it, rather than jump on the Next Gen bandwagon is refreshing.
  
  There'll probably be about four Forza games on Nextbox duration, opposed to probably 2 GT games on PS4.
  
  Forzas a great game, Driveclub has potential but GT is still a phenomenan and can take it's time on PS4. Reply +9

• EA to discontinue Online Passes

• LLJaf 16/05/2013

  Nextbox requires pre owned games to be registered online, which'll cost the consumer.
  
  That's the real reason for no need of online passes, it's also why EA will favour Nextbox next gen. Reply +4

• Gran Turismo 6 is official, boasts 1200 cars

• LLJaf 15/05/2013

  I got all the cars I wanted in GT5 and I'm on level 40, seriously hope that carries over to GT6 Reply 0

• LLJaf 15/05/2013

  So its GT5+, retailed at full price. Taking a leaf out of Turn 10's book. Poor form Sony.
  
  Still day one for me, yeah, sad I know. Reply -25

  Am I the only one whose glad the Wii U will miss out on lazy annual and overhyped crap, with DLC and micro transactions? Reply 0

• BioShock Infinite sells "significantly" more than series predecessors

• LLJaf 14/05/2013

  It's mainly the US, where the management is messed up. Budgets are too high for even multi million sellers to recoup the costs.
  
  Ubisoft are doing alright, as are the Japanese companies, the ones who have budgeted wisely and not gone for overkill. Reply -1

• SNES classic Super Metroid just 30p on Wii U eShop

• LLJaf 13/05/2013

  Super GnG looks superb but I wished it played as fast as the Megadrive version. It's defo the EU version of S Metroid.
  
  Nintendo, you really do shoot yourself, just offer us the 60hz option, stop pissing on your Euro cousins Reply +6

• Gran Turismo 5 retrospective

• LLJaf 12/05/2013

  @Ryze Due to the lower price points, I think it's safe to say Ps3 and Wii U will outsell Ps4 end of year. As for MS consoles, it depends on the price difference between both their consoles.
  
  You can guarantee the huge price difference between Ps3 and Ps4. I'm not sure MS would get away with a similar strategy. Reply 0

• LLJaf 12/05/2013

  Hope for a GT5 definitive edition announcement on wednesday, with all the classic tracks and double the premium cars.
  
  GT6 prologue for Ps4 would be cool. Reply 0

• Next Xbox to be called Xbox Infinity - report

• LLJaf 10/05/2013

  Concentrate on the games and get rid of Kinect 2 and it has a chance. Otherwise, only in the US, it will sell. Even then it depends on the price compared to Ps4. Reply +2

• Inside Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's new open world

  Looks like we're gonna have quite a wait, for truly next gen showpieces. Preview comes across as not much of a difference from current machines, apart from screen being busier. Reply +3

• Aliens: Colonial Marines managed 1.31 million sales

• LLJaf 10/05/2013

  Get the feeling this game was over criticised, just to look cool or something. I'm not saying it didn't deserve it though.
  
  Not all games get the shit reviews they deserve, thats all. Reply +1

  Look at the Vita launch price, there is no doubt it's gonna be around £400 with a game, extra pad and decent hard drive. Reply +4

• Wii U to miss out on 15 EA games using Frostbite Engine 3

• LLJaf 08/05/2013

  @ollyn Games industry is a different beast compared to the Gamecube era, so is Nintendo. It's franchises are of unequal stature.
  
  Case in point, Tomb Raiders budget has dented it's millions plus sales. Luigis Mansion 2, probably will eventually overtake TR sales. What do you think LM2's budget was compared to TR?
  
  Like I said, unequal. Reply +5

• LLJaf 08/05/2013

  @dogmanstaruk TBH am glad casuals are keeping away, fave Nintendo console is probably N64. Pretty sure it sold much less than the Wii.
  
  If I want EA games, there's the PS4. Reply +3
