keeveek: by the way, new engine in FIFA 14 will be console only. PC version will be crippled once again.
Huh, I didn't even know FIFA was on PC.

lol I haven't seen that gif in a long time. It's pretty hilarious. (I love dogs so I'd like to think that the dog wasn't hurt, but the gif is still funny)

Here's an interesting thing from Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/twitter-battle/xbox-vs-ps4/

I wish they showed total # of votes counted (considering how fast the twitter feed was updating last time I looked at it, I'm guessing it's not a small number), but either way, I don't think these results are at all surprising.

I saw that last night and the PS4 was leading everywhere there was a vote registered. Now the Xbox One has pulled ahead in a few countries including North Korea!

Edit: Disregard that, I refreshed the page and the North Korea vote has been removed.

bansama: The GOG forums have disappointed me today. A community of retro gamers many either as old, or older than I, and not one comment on how this looks like a 1980's Betamax video recorder? Shame on you.
Hey man, there's no need for that.



I made that comment many times. Just not here.

It'd be kind of amazing if people were actually irritated enough to not buy it.
Too bad that's probably never going to happen.

Yeah, right now the only country that favors the Xbox (green color), unless my map is messed up, is (ironically) Greenland. According to this, nearly 9 out of every 10 gamers worldwide say they are going to get the PS4 over the Xbox, lol.

I predict 24/7 jizzfest after E3 games presentation.

Well, this vote from "Greece" caught my eye. :D

Unless they count only one vote per account and they can verify the location. I'm not familiar with twitter.

With information about how the Kinect watches you even in the dark, and it measures your heartbeat... does anyone else find that a bit perverted?

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but a quote from MS regarding backwards compatibility:

"If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards"

They aren't even letting you transfer XBLA games over to the new system. Apparently they seem to think that only about 5% of gamers play older games on their current systems. Considering that none of the current systems offer actual backwards compatibility, I don't really see how they came up with that number, but what I think they really need to look at is the sales numbers for HD remakes and re-releases to see how much gamers want to be able to play their old games on current systems.

Haha, that's pretty funny. Yeah, I'm not either (familiar with Twitter). I doubt many people are going to the time to place a vote for every single country, but in any case if people can vote more than once than that sucks. Hopefully only one of those persons votes counted.

Well in the past I think things were a bit different which may have let them get away with side stepping the issue. This last gen was longer, and had a higher degree of quality compared to past ones. I think people are going to feel more burned by not being able take their library with them.

From a new console point of view I highly doubt they want backward compatibility at all. They want the opportunity to sell new games not old ones, and getting people to re-buy a new version of a game is far preferable to them than investing money on emulation that gets them nothing in return but a bullet point on the box.

I don't think they would ever say they aren't doing BC because it's bad business, but I suspect it's been said in some room somewhere. From a consumer point of view it sucks

First Vista, then GFWL, then Win8, now this.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Elenarie. Must be tough.

ikr? Even though people will crap all over MS, guess who will be buying the X1, on release?
In regards to this, I'm glad MS decided NOT to do that Always-Online crap, but I've heard that they're carrying over this timed-exclusive DLC thing that they pulled with the 360, is this true?
