PS4 vs. Xbox One - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Any comments? I personally have been a Microsoft fan all my life, but after hearing what they're planning to implement on the Xbox One, I'm definitely going with the PS4. The DRM practices and always-online policies are a huge turn-off for me, and always having the Kinect microphone and camera plugged in is also a bit worrisome. Might just have to switch to Linux as well if this is the direction in which Microsoft is planning on going.

I was a huge fan of the Playstation 1 and 2, but then the 360 came along and I loved it; mainly because of the controller. And to be honest, that was a good enough reason to pass on the PS3. With the Xbox One however, the controller is just not a good enough reason to upgrade. I mean, I've liked the direction Microsoft went in in the last few years with the kinect and all but this "always connected" bull and the lack of focus towards gaming and becoming more of a media entertainment center really grinds my gears. Not to mention xbox live being the biggest ripoff ever.
At this point in time I would rather go for the PS4, despite the controller. Sigh, I wish my hands were smaller.

I'm with you on the drm issue they are trying to do. If you lose internet connection for more than 24hrs you will not be able to play your game offline. If you have time Warner you know this is possible.
I loved how Sony punched Xbox in the no no area with the video "how to share ps4 games" lol

Be sure to watch the E3 press conference. The Microsoft side that is. It reveals a lot more about the Xbox One. Don't drop your opinion of Microsoft until you've watched it and clear up all of your wariness.

PS4 hands down. If it comes in at the rumored sub400 price tag I'll be getting it for sure.

Yeah, price tag is a big issue for me. At this point, I'm unlikely to get either straight out of the gate, because the new features aren't important enough for me to shift off my 360 and PS3.
If they were sub-300 or offered backwards compatibility, I'd be tempted. As it stands... meh. Maybe after the price drops. And I figure out 3 or 4 games that won't come out with my current consoles that fall into the "will definitely buy" category, rather than just the "that'd be nice... someday" group.

I'm saving up my money for nexus 5 and ps4

The executive from Microsoft said on camera....if you don't have an internet connection they have a product that will play offline games ...the 360 lol
One note is that the PSN will be a subscription fee now if you want to have access to online content of the game.

I think you got the story wrong (Or I wasn't updated) but PSN will be free. The way you or other users pay for PSN is by taxes (if you haven't noticed there are some content that are charged with tax) and the PSN Plus subscription.
The PSN Plus Subscription gives you access to exclusive content, if you are not a member you cannot get exclusive discounts or exclusive demos. PSN plus in no way will affect any DLC or content from third party companies.

PS3 multiplayer still free, PS4 multiplayer for PS+ members.

Playstation v xbox =Ps wins every time. Had both,now have two xboxs that don't work and a ps3 nearly two years old and works like the day it come out the box. Microsoft are to cheap to make a reliable games con and they no it. Love the xbox but was so cheaply made its not worth wasting money on the new one. :thumbdown:

WoW on the G2X... Chaos and Order now available!

Available in the Android Market.
Come and get it mmorpg fans. Chaos and Order is now up on the android market. If you don't know.. Gameloft is infamous for making GREAT clones of popular games that aren't available on mobile devices. So World of Warcraft is an extremely popular mmorpg for PC/Mac... now you can have that same great experience on your G2X. 6.99 for the download will get you 3 months of play. each additional month after that is only 99c. that's a steal folks. works on tablets and handhelds (it's GREAT on the family iPad.. now i can play on the go.. chea).
Cheers!
It's not much "on the go" when it requires a wifi connection to play.
yeah.. just peeped that. #fail... unless you have a mifi... which is still a billing #fail
A lot of places these days seem to offer free wifi anyways

ALL mmorpgs charge some sort fee. either its free to play and you pay for stuff like exclusive gear (like Lord of the Rings online) or you pay monthly fees. and for 3 free months to start and 99cent there after for an mmorpg... that's a steal sir.... it's new to the mobile arena.. but trust me.... in the world of gaming (big picture) this is a good deal for such a great quality game.
Dude, do they have an app which tricks apps to think that they are on wi-fi when really they are on 4G / 3G?
I know they do for the iPhone 4, things such as "FaceBreak" and the like..

Duke Nukem 3D is Out

I bought it and then 1 and a half minutes later did a refund. There are ads and the Xperia Play controller does not work at all.

Why not? Just because it's an episodic game? Thats nothing new, infact xbox live has quite a few episodic games, including some big ones like fable 2.

I don't see how XBL would be related to a game getting Xperia Play controls.
Sounds like they already laid out the plan for this game and are done with it, much like that Captain America game I would not expect it to be XP optimized anytime soon.

I wouldn't except it either, they only have 2 games on the market. Unless enough people gave it a 1 star rating and complained enough about it.

Why has an xbox game, got anything to do with this half assed port, and their money making scheme..in app billing, for that..it should have been the full game, for a couple of quid, from the off.
in app billing + dodgy controls + ads in paid game + episodic = failure, In my book.

Buy the game, buy the episodes, click on the ads, support the developer.
Android game development is still kind of fragile at this point. Great games rarely get over 10k downloads, Amazing games rarely get over 100k downloads.
Just spend the dollar and consider it a donation to the developer to continue working on the game.

I'm all for supporting them, BUT there is NO controller support. I can deal with the ads but the NO controller support is a HUGE deal breaker. If they do update the app with support I well TOTALLY buy it again. I actually have emailed them about the issue.

With the way this game is looking I doubt they'll add support (hope I'm wrong). With ads in the paid app and a crappy port I'm betting they're just making as much money as they can till people figure out it's a waste of money.

Your comment was "they wont add xperia play controls because the game is episodic" like thats a bad thing or what **** devs do, my point was episodic games are everywhere even in main stream gamimg. I wouldnt know if the game has ads because like anyone else with a brain cell i'm using ad free to hide them. But FYI even some of the top paid apps on the market like 360 live pro have ads too. Does that make there dev dodgy too???
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I wouldn't use 360 live pro, not after paying, and having ad filled stuff in my face..
I just don't agree with that.
Free users, yeah, slap an ad or two, but not for paid for software.
I tried this game it dont use the play buttons so unistalled it.

That's not how it works. This is not published as an alpha program which will be updated in the future and for which donations would be welcome. This is a full fledged program which is being sold with certain commercial practises. Sticking ads in a paid product, not adding Xperia Play controller support and in app Billing in such a short game are not good practises, and buying the game implies supporting them.
Voting with our wallet means not paying for crud. If we buy it, more crud will come because companies will understand that that's what we want. Consumer feedback is all good and nice, but the bottom line is what companies and developers are ultimately attentive to.
This is important because if that function, called price mechanism, doesn't coordinate companies and consumers properly, problems are bound to appear... As they actually are doing, and I don't mean the video game industry alone.
****ty controls, uninstalled.
The game doesn't even appear on my xperia play market, but it appears on the market on my g2 phone. also, is there an official version of duke nukem 3d coming out? cause this isn't made by the actual company.
Well in an update Xperia Play controls will come !

Your so naive, do you not think this happens in main stream gaming? When you play burnout and see lynx adverts on the roadside, do you not think lynx are paying to advertise there? Or when you play PES/Fifa and see adverts all around the pitch? Tiger woods 10 even had pop up ads

There is a bit of a difference to "Billboard" advertising in games that adds "Authenticity" to the surroundings i.e. Fifa and the sideline banners and the "distracting-take-up-10%-of-your-screen-real-estate-mobile-ads”.
The first example I except, the second only if I haven’t paid for the app.
On another note, I always preferred Quake to Duke Nukem, so my recent purchase of Zeus Arena will keep me content FPS wise until Modern Combat 3 comes to android.

[APP] Steam Mobile Beta!

Valve has just released their official steam app yesterday for Android & iOS. Login to be added to the list of "possible beta testers". I just got accepted.
https://market.android.com/details?...NvZnR3YXJlLmFuZHJvaWQuc3RlYW0uY29tbXVuaXR5Il0.
It works great on my Transformer but it's not really optimized for tablets yet, we can only hope. What I'm hoping though, is integration with mobile apps! That would be awesome! Just imagine buying Dungeon Defenders on Steam and being able to play it on your tablet for free (or GTA III, Plants vs Zombies etc).
Anyone got an invite?
Gave away mine to a friend, should've just let him wait on his. People were trading it on the forums and I could've gotten something nice XD
Gave mine to a friend, too. Seems he could care less. App seems kinda slow, but to not miss a super sale because I'm away for a day is AWESOME!!
App is now available for all steam users. It has officially left closed beta.

That would be amazing. Not sure if developers would like the idea. On the other hand, Steam already integrates the PC/Mac versions of many games, so there is precedent.

NFL Mobile

Hey guys question for you. I tried to watch the Packers vs Chargers game on the NFL mobile app. It said I needed to be subscribed to the service. Does this mean that NFL mobile is not free anymore for LTE customers? And if so where can I sign up for the service? Or is there a "ahem" work around for it to work? Not sure if the reason is because I am on the Synergy rom has something to do with it. Any info would be appreciated.
PS: yes I have searched, can't find the answer. If this has already been asked please just let me know and MOD please erase this thread.
I too am running Synergy and can't watch videos on this app without the $5/mo. fee. I don't think it has anything to do with being rooted or running a modified ROM. If you check the reviews for it in the Play Store it's getting ripped right now because people don't want the, now, bloatware app either because they're not NFL fans or because it used to be free and they don't want to pay. I also googled the old Verizon promotional page for the app, that said you could watch NFL games for free, and it's a broken link now. I guess it was a limited time promotion. It's a shame because it was a great app but I'm not paying $5/mo. for it.

It is a shame that you have to pay but if you can watch any game for $5 bucks a month and connect your phone to your TV I think that would be a great deal. That way you don't have to pay $300 dollars for the NFL package from DirecTV. On the other hand, if it is $5/mo for just games that are played on the NFL network then no way would I pay the $5 bucks. Where did you see the $5/mo fee at? I couldn't find it.

Hmm...I downloaded the NFL Mobile app by Verizon Wireless from the Play Store for free. Upon opening this morning, it prompted me for my Verizon credentials after that it's working fine. No mention of a subscription fee. I'm running unrooted/stock at this point.
I just joined Verizon, coming from Sprint. I know that for non-Verizon customers there was a different NFL mobile app. Maybe that's the one you guys on custom ROM's are seeing.
nfl is free
i just downloaded it from the play store... logged in with my vzw credentials just fine... and it said nothing about a fee.
EDIT. .... until i tried to watch a video then it says i need to subscribe to view. oh well.
VZ must have lowered the price on that.
I had it when it was free & loved it, but when that ran out it was at least $10 a month IIRC.
I never would have cancelled it if it was only $5 a month.
isn't NFL mobile. just the internet version of. the RED ZONE highlight show?
I believe you've always had to subscribe to vz videos or something like that to get the red zone channel and audio for the games through this app.
No better way to kill the 4 hour drive to lambeau.
It is free to use the app. $5 a month to watch games and videos. The only games they air are games on NFL network, Thurs. night games and sunday night games. The $5 fee is new this year. I'm a huge NFL fan though so the fee is worth it to me.

I agree, it's worth it & recently subscribed.
The $5 fee is new, during the season last year it was $10 a month.

they also air the monday night football
so you basically get the "national" games
I think last season the video was free for two weeks for LTE users. After that it was a subscription.
The free game audio worked fine for me all last season. I tried to boot up the audio last week for the 9ers first preseason game and it said unavail... im hoping it was because it was just preseason. I dont want to pay to just listen to the audio haha
The app is pretty awesome, but I don't know if i'm willing to pay the fee to view games, will have to see how the season progresses and how people say the video quality is.

Benefits of the android ecosystem.

I love the fact that I can totally control my life with a few stocks of the keys on my key pad. Syncing with my Google account and I'm good to go. To appointments, meetings, music, games, and apps. Keeping in touch with friends is a breeze with Google+. Having multiplied my android devices in the past two years from just having a smartphone to tablets and on going technologies that allow connection to t.v. one doesn't even need any other source for entertainment with unlimited data I can watch what I want at anytime.I can buy a game on my phone then play it on my tablet and also play the game with my Xbox controller on my smartphone or tablet. I really think Google doesn't do a good job at upselling there ecosystem as much as Apple does. But to be honest I at one time owned both a Apple computer and iPhone combo at the same time. And since then I don't any more not saying there bad products just not in my price range any more to purchase Apple products at this time and present. Anyways on to Google and there ecosystem love it more people own pc's then other operating systems. So you can see my point or actually think about it and agree.
