For anybody interested in the Xbox One with Titanfall after the recently announced price drop, you might be pleased to know that there's now been another price drop on the console. GameStop UK has the Xbox One Titanfall bundle available at a further discounted price of £369. I imagine there will still be further price drops on the console throughout the year and at E3, but for now this seems to be the cheapest option for anybody who wants to take a chance on the hardware.

That puts it cheaper than the equivalent (+Infamous) PS4 bundle. I wonder if just being cheaper is enough of a tipping point for them, considering you get more "hardware" for that price.

Gotta admit, that's a sweet price for what you get. If I wasn't already (happily) locked into Sony's ecosystem and I was the type to buy non-slim consoles, I would pick that up pretty quick.

I'll give Microsoft credit: for the first time since launch an Xbone variant is outselling the PS4 on Amazon UK. The big question is how long that can last. RE: GameStop UK's deal: they're always been undercutting the RRP (by virtue of actually being GameStop Ireland and having to pay less tax compared to a mainland site), and had been selling the Xbone in the region of £400 before the price cut (they're currently taking pre-orders for the PS4 at £330, a twenty pound discount off RRP). It's kinda telling that they too cut the price instead of padding out their margins.

In the polygon article the mockup chat is brilliant, "this game is really awesome when you dance while playing" should be on the cover of all Forza 5 games. Updates are always a welcome sight and it's good timing to get twitch going for the release of Titanfall. I sincerely hope that awkward drunk couples fondling each other isn't a PS4 exclusive. PvZ sitting at 79 on metacritic, not bad at all!

PvZ does sound pretty fun to me. I am playing Rayman right now, but when I trade it in I might pick up PvZ. 40 bucks doesnt seem too bad, but I wish there were more maps.

So can these twitch streams be viewed by someone on PC? The archiving seems to imply at minimum it'll show up in your account at a later date to be accessed but I'm curious.

What's the current situation regarding custom soundtracks on the Xbox One? It was one of my favorite features on the Xbox 360 and apparently it's not available on Xbox One? I enjoy listening to my own music when playing games (particularly racing games and multiplayer shooters) and I was wondering if anybody knows if/when it will be made available for Xbox One. It would be nice to be able to just copy over mp3s from a USB stick.

I didn't own a PS3, and I'm getting a PS4 to go with my XB1. Mostly because the NHL thread is mostly leaning PS4 right now and I'd rather play with them than pubbies in that terrible game. Then I saw they announced Persona 5 was coming out in 2015, and was like "oh cool, my girlfriend can play that on the PS4 so it won't be a total waste" And Persona 5 is only on PS3...what the gently caress?

^^^ Yeah, Persona 4 released only on the PS2 in December of 2008 in NA.^^^^ So, wait. Polygon says you can upload game clips to Twitch, but will Twitch actually archive your past broadcasts? They don't on the PS4, which I think is super lame. Soul Glo fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Feb 25, 2014 |

Small, niche game in niche genre gets released on the console with 90 million units and actual install base in the target region of the game instead of the one with 6 million units and only 300k (at the moment, obviously) in the target region.

Good news about the archiving then. That's one reason I haven't done a lot of streaming on my PS4-- if anything rad happened, I couldn't go back and watch it again.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:Yeah there's meant to be none at launch, a large chunk of EA's revenue is IAP though. Fair enough. My plan with PvZ would most likely be "Buy it, play it a lot for a week or two, then trade it in" so if they wanna start rolling out DLC and microtransactions, I dont care much. Also, EA is terrible at everything. Its too bad that so many perfectly good games get ruined by falling under their umbrella.

I like the xbones controllers better as well. I like the tighter, springier joysticks and the tighter triggers as well - and the Home button is in a better place. D Pad is miles better. I dont like the points at the tips of the triggers though, it makes them easy to hit by accident. Ive gotten used to it now, but it took awhile to adjust to. Edit2 - and the PS4 controller is so much better than the PS3 controller that its kind of crazy. The xbones controller is better than the 360's, but its not a huge difference. If you can get a 360 controller for 20 bucks versus like 60 for the xbone, id just stick with the 360. Also, the xbones joysticks are textured so they are easier to grip.

Just delay poo poo past the review window and you can get away with anything after all the fawning 9's come in. Everyone makes their MetaCritic bonuses and the background noise of the internet drowns out the geeks when you start to tighten the thumbscrews.

The Dpad I've gotten used to or Stockholm syndrome is setting in and the triggers have me worried.

The Bonetroller removes the lumpy battery pack in the back, moves the home button to a more sensible place, has much better thumbsticks, has rumble in the triggers (mostly a gimmick but its nice), and has changed where the shoulder buttons are located so you can press them and the trigger with a single finger together or separately if you hold you hand long ways rather then the PSgrip. Oh and the Dpad is a godfearing good dpad and isn't some sloppy thing.
