While we didn't get any info about the game Black Tusk is working on from the trailer it seems to have a stealth vibe to it, so if that's true then it's a instant buy from me as well. I like anything with stealth where I can take my time and not be forced into what the game thinks my pace should be.

With all the titles MS is making themselves and sponsoring as well as the 11 EA titles. the launch title lineup for the Xbox one is going to be massive. meanwhile my poor Wii U even after all this time doesn't have half as many games as the One will have on launch... EA alone pretty much killed the console. oh well, it'll still get the Nintendo games. I would rather play these next gen games on the One anyway.

Most of those EA titles aren't next gen, they're cross gen.

So ? it's not the same game. the next gen versions run the Frostbite and ignite engines at a completely different level with different resources.

the old gen games won't have the advanced AI's and movements, the soft body dynamics and all that. and pretty much only the EA sports games are cross gen and as I Said. they mostly only share graphical similarities and gameplay similarities, while they're similar one is next gen the other is not, same as last console launch. while the games where released for both old and new, they where decidedly different games.

Wow... shunned core gamers, pre-rendered... yeah he sure got it all spot on :rolleyes:

You didn't read the article did you? Either that or you lack the necessary comprehension skills to understand what was written.

The Division on Ubisoft was awesome, the whole concept was great with open world multiplayer, and the graphics. the volumetric smoke that actually volumetrically reflected light internally alone raised the bar for game graphics. and took it into a more believable level . I'm a sucker for such small seemingly minor things that ultimately are what adds to the reality, like the dynamic way the characters move instead of just simple walk animations, like the player closing the slightly open car door are he moved along.

Xmas and 2014 s going to be awesome for gamers, with MS, EA and Ubisofts game launches. and we still have some other slightly smaller publishers giving us some predictable stuff.

From what i know of Twitch it's mostly girls showing their breasts while playing games.

You don't watch very many twitch streams then do you? There are the obvious attention ###### like you said, but then there are some great channels like Lethalfrag and Man vs Game.

I loved it too, until I didn't hear that it will be released on PC too. But at least the next thing that got my attention (The Crew) will, so there's something.

MS knows The Division will be a multiplatform and Sony may even show it off at their E3 tonight. Too bad, if MS could showed it off with exclusive annoucement then MS would be in a great spot.

I'm almost all the way through the Xbox briefing and I'm actually a lot more excited for Xbox One now. Lot of new exclusives and some sequels to games I've not played that look fantastic. Might be an expensive holiday after all...

Really? :huh:

Pretty sure its not being made by Rare.

Rare are making a new Kinect sports game lol.

Get an emulator and play the old KI's, no way rare did this, the look/feel of the old games seems more next gen that this IMO. I'm not sure what kind of video/fmv/animation they used for those games but it was awesome.

Some advise for Microsoft... or they will DIE for sure!!!!!!!

1) Please step back from these FPS games. I know they are popular, but they shouldn't ever forget their other gamers! That's the dumbest thing they done. I personally couldn't give a rat's ass about Call of Duty and Halo. Ugh

Focus more on the Adventure/RPG games like Kameo, Conker, Jade Empire, Knights of The Old Republic, Oblivion/Skyrim, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Syberia, Dreamfall, Fallout 3 etc that actually made Xbox a past winner to me.

2) Making sure TV series/Video Game intergration like Quantum Break is actually an AMAZING/JAW-DROPPING game that's on the level of The Last Of Us! And make more that is more action packed!

3) Maybe offer HBO on Xbox Live for a small price, so Game of Thrones fans can watch it without cable subscription

4) KILL the ideas of DRM, and let people play used games. No restrictions please!

5)Offer 10 FREE Xbox 360 games with the Xbox One console purchase

Was at work while this was going on and didn't get home until almost an hour into Sony's conference. Waiting for HD downloads of all the pressers so I can watch them in good quality. As of right now it's looking like I'll be waiting on a price drop before I even consider picking up the X1.

I assume you already knew PS4 is only $399

"Only" and you now have to pay for online AND that is for the lowest model- bare bones PS4.

They announced other models for the PS4? I thought there was only one version of it? (at least so far)

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Nas · Posted

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.
