No used games for you 720 owners:

Meh. I never buy used games anyways. Most of the games I buy and play, they've all gone to that whole code thing to unlock multiplayer and other stuff. I just buy new and avoid all that crap. If it's not a game that I must have on release day, I'll wait a couple months until the price goes down, and buy it then. Just like I bought Battlefield 3 Premium Edition brand new for pretty cheap last week, a game I was interested in from day one, but didn't need/want it bad enough at the time to shell out full price for it. So that gives me a chance to spend some nights playing that now when other games don't sound interesting.
Honestly, the whole used games crap is overrated to begin with. There pretty much are no used games when it comes to PC, so for those of us who play PC games, we're the ones who view this who used games shit logically and realistically.

I can not imagine this would happen, especially sports titles.Quote:
For the curious and sleuthing mind, there was certainly a lot of intrigue as to who was missing from the PlayStation 4 launch event last week in New York City. Where, exactly was Electronic Arts?
Today it appears a bit more is being answered on that question, as it appears EA and Microsoft are cozying up with each other in the form of an exclusive arrangement. The announcement of any such deal would be held at the XBox 720 reveal event, which looks to potentially take place on April 26.
EA is certainly a heavyweight third party publisher, so it's possible the arrangement could be a first-dibs type of deal, where games from EA come to the Xbox 720 first before releasing on other consoles later. Such a deal could also mean exclusive DLC to the XBox platform or perhaps an exclusive title or two.
How a rumored EA/Microsoft partnership affects the sports titles is relatively unknown. As we saw with MLB this year, sports leagues want a presence on all of the major platforms. It's doubtful, for instance, that the NFL would allow EA to only release Madden on the XBox 720 for a few months before it appeared on the PS4. Most likely, the deal will be a limited exclusivity deal with some titles but not all. It remains unlikely EA Sports will find itself only publishing on Microsoft's console in the future.
EA's CFO Blake Jorgenson had this to say about the PlayStation 4 a few days ago, "At the end of the day we are very excited about Sony's platform. We feel there's a huge opportunity there. The technical power on the platform is going to allow us to do a substantial amount of things that have never been done before."
What do you all think of EA and Microsoft cozying up to one another? Do you think this affects the sports titles in any way?
If it does happen bravo microsoft, bravo!!!
Sports titles will not be exclusive but WOW EA has a crap ton of publishers and titles released under there brand.
I'm guessing it's just some kind of DLC agreement on Battlefield. Or if Respawn Entertainment is only going to go 360 only like Bungie did with Halo.
It'll be exclusive timed DLC for either Battlefield 4 or Respawn Entertainment's new game. In other words, "yawn."
Yeah I imagine it is much to do about nothing (just like Watch Dogs on Sony's event). Funny thing is I'm not even sure EA going exclusive everything on the 720 would force me to leave Sony. I imagine the NFL would want a Sony game so perhaps the Show people could make an even better football game than EA does; etc...
EA to charge more for games on 720:

Thankfully I won't have to worry about it since EA games are 720 exclusives. :nod:
Yeah if EA prices games at $69.99 next gen you can darn well be Activision will follow suit. Activision was the one who pushed for $59.99 game at the beginning of the current gen.
Nothing has been set, the guy even said they have not set pricing yet. Your headlines make Fox News almost seem fair and balanced in comparison. How about watching the videos you post first.
And that's when I stop buying games at full price and NEVER touch a console again. $60 is already bad enough. $70 is fuckin' ludicrous.
wont matter much to me. ncaa will be one of, maybe, 2 games that i'll buy all year.Quote:

That is why Amazon rocks. Just wait a month or so and it will show up for $39.99. Got Far Cry 3 for that price just a month after it was released. While I am eager to play Tomb Raider I am going to watch my wishlist and wait for the drop.Quote:

The ten dollar price increase plus being nickeled and dimed to death with DLC will cause a lot of gamers, including myself, to think twice about picking up a new gen system in the first place.Quote:

Update: A representative from EA characterized Jorgensen's comments as a hypothetical discussion of pricing patterns at the beginning of a console cycle, and said that he meant to use software price examples of $59 and $49.

I do not mind mandatory installs, I install all my games to the HD. Plus you stick the game in and it installs while you play. The troubling part is the whole Always on Always connected stuff. If I can't play games because my internet is down or XBL is down... The PS4 is starting to look a lot better.
Fine by me, I install as my stuff anyway.
I don't like the always online, buts as mors said to me a few weeks ago, it's time I learn to deal with it.
Yep if Sony stays away from this that's a big check mark for the PS4 over the 720.
Here is what two video game "journalists" think and I gotta think if these supposed "insiders" are this anti no used games I cannot imagine how pissed off the average consumer of games is going to be when this comes out:
http://youtu.be/do-h60w8RWE
They're going to have to do a lot more than that. They fucked themselves over in North America with the PS3(and are currently doing an even bigger screw job with the Vita). I firmly believe it's going to take a lot more than the Next Xbox requiring a constant internet connection to take that demographic back. Now I think if the Next Xbox didn't work with used games, that could potentially be a difference maker, but simply requiring an online connection when online gaming is so popular nowadays? Nah.Quote:

Well the article indicates that the disc is simply to install the game onto your system thus making used games impossible and the online connection checks to make sure your legit. So it's always online (hurts rural america with crappy internet) and its no used games (hurts gamestop, gamefly and people that like to buy/rent used games). Those are two pretty bitter pills to swallow if PS4 beats 720 to launch (50/50 in my mind) it could easily turn people off and the war could be over before it even starts. Also if/when hackers decide they want to take down Live that's going to piss off a ton of people that their $400 - $500 console is just a box of crap for days. At least when PSN went down you could still play most games.Quote:

Even if Microsoft eliminated used games and required an online connection, I still believe they would win the US.
For me personally, I'll be waiting until the next Xbox is revealed and I'll go from there. I wasn't impressed at all by Sony's "unveiling"(except for Killzone, and let's be honest, it's known for looking beautiful and then having awful game play) and considering these consoles are going to be virtually identical specs wise, I'm going with the one that has the best user interface and the best online feature implementation.
I'd call it now: Microsoft wins the US handily, Sony dominates Japan, and then Sony barely edges out Microsoft in Europe. Basically a repeat of this gen, unless of course, one of them makes a massively stupid decision on something.
They just better not make it a must online connection. Just dumb. I don't care to much about the old games I'll keep my 360 until it dies. I just hope we can cross platform like playing call of duty on save servers but diferen't systems etc.
Won't happenQuote:

I'm pretty sure I will be sitting on the sidelines for at least a year or two on the new systems. I went through five red rings of death the first six months after I bought a 360 on launch day. I was at the point of saying screw it and wait on the PS3 to be released.
Is this the new X-Box logo?

Looks like two band-aids.
Looks extremely fake to me. I could do better than that.
You never know. Look at the Mountain West logo in college sports, and that turned out to be the actual logo. :fp:Quote:
