8pints Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Can I sue Activision for using my name for their next CoD title? I think they'd get off on the singular/plural technicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2013 Licenses for games are for ONE account use. Not per console AND account, but per account. 1 console with 3 accounts needs one game and TWO additional licenses So am I right in saying if I bought, I dunno, "Sonic the Hedgehog 11" and installed it on my son's account, I'd have to pay an extra fee for my other son* to be able to play it on the same console but using his account? That sucks some serious balls *I don't have any sons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 No, apparently there was a bit of mixed communication. It'll work the same as the online pass did, in that any account on the original console can use it, but to play on another console the original account needs to be signed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2013 How the pre owned thing will work seems to depend on which Microsoft employee you listen to. They all seem to be saying slightly different things. Bit of a shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't think that there will be an optical drive in the console ill bet you a thousand pounds there will I'm only speculating what they want to do, not what they will do, but okay, I'll bet you a hundred quid if the loser pays it to a charity nominated by the winner. The site ran two posts together. P3te needs to confirm the bet confirmed Get the chequebook out sir! Acorns is quids in today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted May 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2013 So what is it people seem to prefer about the PS4 to the Xbox? As far as I can tell, they do the exact same thing, but the Xbox does more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted May 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) So what is it people seem to prefer about the PS4 to the Xbox? As far as I can tell, they do the exact same thing, but the Xbox does more? One is a video game system, the other plays videos apparently Yeah but the Xbox will obviously still play all the games at PS4 can play to the same quality (bar the IP titles). So....... i'm struggling to understand the Xbox hate. I mean, if PS4 was going to launch loads of independent games and focus fully on those games then yeah I understand. But with M$ releasing 15 independent titles within the first year... it kinda blows anything Sony have announced out the water on the gaming front too. We'll know more at E3 I guess.

hogso Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) That Jeff guy made me laugh during the stream. As soon as the bit for Quantic Dream came on, he said "PLEASE BE AN FMV GAME!" Remember them? Wing Commander. Brilliant. It was kind of unclear if that live action bit was anything to do with the game (in a kind of Dead Island trailer way) or not. If it is an FMV game, and they use Kinect to put you into the game, tell you what, I'd get one. Yep. Edited May 22, 2013 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Haven't really been following it that closely but this is my 2c worth.. Its huge, facking enormous. It reassembles a poorly designed 1980's VCR. Not only that, its really ugly too. I sincerely hope the noise it makes is not in direct proportion to its size (like the current 360). The kinect sensor also, blooming enormous. The whole confusion over 2nd hand games is annoying. The voice recognition and hand gestures thing is a huge gimmick that will rarely be used in anger The spec, 8cores, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD is not really 'wow' is it considering technology already around as of today. I'm currently not very excited by this but there is plenty of time to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Apparently they'll be showing the games at E3, this was more of a commercial advertisement. Still trying to work out where the red ring of death is going to appear, that little LED Xbox symbol doesn't look up to the mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted May 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2013 I like the PS4 being able to be streamed, if you can record long videos in game in HD then I might be tempted over the Xbox, especially with the second hand bullshit too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
