There are no big issues. Just minor crap that is part of the game.
Has this video, talking about Microsoft's embargo for Ghosts, been discussed yet? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgKBuBPs0ZY&feature=youtu.be
So what you're saying is, everytime I mention a cboat rumor that was confirmed, you said you weren't surprised. Is this how this is going to go?
cboat is a trusted resource on here by the administration staff for good reason.
Not sure about the video but Conrad has been vocal on twitter and referred to in this thread and others about the 720p-gate.

It was asked in an interview post-Gamescom with someone from GG, probably Eric.
And yes, they said it was a live-demo, with a bunch of GG-devs playing against Shu, with strict orders to not shoot him.
The pause and resume feature would be my guess.

i wasn't talking about the xbox one in any way.
If the rumors are true, then yes, it's hell.
Yes, i also had ps3 crashes. And i'll probably be getting some on WiiU in the future.
Not yet though

Rumors don't support it being as bad or worse.

So what else is new!? It's hard to break blind brand loyalty. Microsoft is trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator: dudebros and fubars.
Yeah, the Remember Me footage he leaked before the game was even announced was pretty darn obvious, right?
/s
No. Sony was showing how you can go from XMB into another players game as quick as possible. GG already said it takes about 15 seconds from inserting the disc to playing the game.
This is not a test, this is rock-and-roll!

I did too! Pretty damn amazing for a man in his position. Huge props @Yosh if you happen upon this thread.

My understanding is that it is there but not for low power mode yet.

Yeah your right...Lol I forgot that..Infact I can see the I.Robot reference now...The 3 laws will be broken!!!
Is multiplayer going to work for XBL during launch? Or is it just the party/friends stuff that is causing problems?
Why am I not excited anymore? Fuck you SE, I don't want another MMORPG. Just give me DQ VIII-2.

That is a feature we expect to see in the PS4 OS on 11/15. What isn't going to make it for launch is the ability to put the console to sleep, and turn it on later exactly where you were in a game.
But pausing a game, going into your web browser, and then going back into your game, should be nearly instant.
Please stop with the FUD. Their own website is still proclaiming 11/22 as the release date right now.
MS Engineers:
We still don't know if we can resolve these issues before launch. We need more time.
MS Suits:
You WILL get this fixed by launch if we have to tape your eyes open and work you in 36 hour shifts. We are launching on November 22nd, period.
The meddling from upper management is so obvious in this console. They were hell bent on launching with Sony when they clearly were not ready. I think this is going to be a mega PR disaster for them come November.

The rumors were only just stating that everything on the PS4 would not be flawless either, which should be an expectation everyone holds for any major electronic device release. Steam OS and boxes won't have a flawless launch either. People took cryptic messages that everything isn't rosy for Sony either to mean they have major problems, which is not what was said. People always jump to major problems when it could just be small issues.
I still have a sealed copy of DQ VIII. Maybe now is the time to open it and play it in the weeks leading up to next gen.
For sure, I feel sorry for the coders having to clean up this shit. Hopefully they're not salaried and can actually get OT. These things are a result of bad decisions by management, in multiple facets.
It's probably going to be very similar to Diablo 3, Sim City and GTA Online, as in completely broken for an extended period.

I just can't really believe the system is as bad as described by the enthusiast press reporter. If I'm wrong then I made the wrong choice going with Xbox one over ps4.

I find is amusing that Xbox people project their problems onto the PS4 at every single turn.
There is an evil mastermind behind that sweet smile of his. Don't fall for his tricks!
I know nothing regarding MS that I can say with any amount of confidence so I'm the wrong person to ask this question. I am going to assume their multiplayer will work at launch. It would be pretty insane if it didn't.
Could you imagine? Twitter. Twitter everywhere.
But all signs show that they are "messing up" too or else they wouldn't have such a console feature oriented update at launch... right?

Because almost everything you claim are buying the xbox one platform for (Snap, Xbox live matchmaking etc, Smartglass integration) May be broken at launch and may take months to fix.
Of all the xbox one fans on this forum, id expect this news to give you the most amount of pause as it means that the xbox one will not even close to the all in one multitasking machine you want it to be yet.
If true.

I mean, at this point it's pretty obvious it's the wrong choice for plenty of reasons other than this.. but yeah.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
If this fiasco led to Microsoft plummeting in sales compared to Sony I think they would pull out of the market. If they did that I think the comparison would be a poor one.
Yes we'd have all the major companies on one platform, but in that era, despite Sony dominance, there existed strong competition fueling Sony's innovation because sega, Nintendo and the soon to be Microsoft insured Sony couldn't rest on its laurels just yet.
If Microsoft goes Sony only has to contend with a struggling Nintendo that has almost relegated itself to niche status releasing gen old hardware.
Well played kind sir - though I would rate this past in terms of diversity a fair amount higher than either of those. This past would be the first generation where instead of holing myself up in one genre, say platformers for both examples, I explored outside my comfort zone. Call it maturity, maybe even changing tastes, but my palette expanded this time around. Personally, I place that on how well some games were crafted, which often that not seemed to be the exclusives on either side
All I want is the MP to be working good.. Or else I'm going to have to put myself on hold for the XBO.
Who exactly?

Yea, SwiftDeath is getting pretty good at summarizing threads that spiral out of control. Just the facts.
Why are you trying to create equivalence that doesn't exist? The situations are only similar in that they're both launching consoles in the next month. There simply isn't the info backing up major issues around PS4's network at this point.

Not really. This is inside baseball stuff.
If you want to feel bad the entire gen because something similar is never gonna come out of SE again, sure, go ahead.
