Some Xbox One game sizes revealed

The leaked Xbox One game case back covers posted by Reddit users, reveal some interesting information, including the HUGE game installation sizes for Ryse, Dead Rising 3, and Forza Motorsport 5.

Here’s the data:

– Dead Rising 3 will require up to 35 GB of HDD storage and will have 1-2 person co-op play over Xbox Live but no local co-op.

– Ryse will require up to 47 GB and will feature impulse triggers and 1-2 person co-op over Xbox Live, as well as optional Kinect voice support.

– Forza Motorsport 5 will require up to 35 GB of storage and will support Kinect voice features and force feedback wheels as well as 1-2 person local multiplayer and 2-16 players online.

These massive installations are comparable to a few PlayStation 4 like Killzone: Shadow Fall, which will take about 39 GB of HDD storage, and Call of Duty: Ghosts, which requires a minimum installation of 49 GB.

Also remember that PS4 hard drives are user replaceable while the Xbox One hard drive is not,though players will be able to extend storage capacity with USB external hard drives. However, that functionality won’t be available at launch.

Ubisoft was worried that GTA V, Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty would hurt Watch Dogs

Facebook
Twitter

Reading Time: 2 minutes
According to Wedbush Securities‘ analyst Michael Pachter, the delay to Watch Dogs from November 2013 to Q2 in 2014 is likely to have been influenced by the crowded release schedule and the huge success of Grand Theft Auto V:

„We believe that management was also concerned about the strong competition for wallet share Watch Dogs faced at the holidays from Grand Theft Auto V, Battlefield 4, and a new Call of Duty, among others,“ wrote Pachter in a note released yesterday.

He added: „Grand Theft Auto V is only adding to industry uncertainty, as while it is bringing many previously-disconnected gamers back to the market, it also has achieved record-breaking sales that have tapped a certain percentage of gamer holiday spending months ahead of time.“

Whatever the reason, he believes Ubisoft made the correct decision:

„Given next-gen uncertainty and this very strong slate of competitors, we believe the two aforementioned delays were the right decision,“ he wrote.

He added: „By releasing Watch Dogs in Q1:15, Ubisoft has given its developers the opportunity to fully maximize the game’s sales potential in FY:15 and build a lasting franchise that the company could use to offset any future weakness for its established key franchises (displayed most recently by the disappointing Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist).

„We are somewhat concerned about competition in Ubisoft’s Q1, however, with games like EA’s Titanfall, Activision’s Destiny and Microsoft’s Halo 5 all targeting the same launch window. We don’t think it is important that Watch Dogs (or any of the other three games) launches in Q1, and we expect all of the game publishers to behave rationally when setting release dates to avoid competition wherever possible.“

Wii U has more next-gen 1080p 60fps games than Xbox One and PS4
Facebook
Twitter

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Site Gaming Blend published a list of all the -confirmed- native 1080p 60fps titles on ’next-gen‘ consoles and, it looks like the Wii U has more of these than the Xbox One or the PS4(without counting indie titles).

Just take a look:

Wii U

The Wii U has confirmed games to run native 1920x1080p at 60 frames per second: Super Smash Bros. U, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8 and Rayman Legends.

Super Smash Bros. U was confirmed to run at 1080p, as noted on My Nintendo News. Mario Kart 8 was confirmed to run on the Wii U without a hitch at 60 frames per second when it was unveiled at E3. Bayonetta 2 was labeled 1080p at 60fps via Siliconera, and even if we want to count HD remakes for next-gen such as Wind Waker HD, Digital Trends made it known that the game is 1080p at 60fps. There’s also Rayman Legends, once a Wii U exclusive, that also runs 1080p at 60fps, as noted by Digital Foundry.

So we have about six next-gen games running 1080p at 60fps for the Wii U, and even if you want to knock off Wind Waker HD as a remake and a game that’s not a real next-gen title, that’s fine. We still have a nice cache of games on the Wii U that are native 1080p to prove its case.

PS4
There are only a few games on the PS4’s side that hits 1080p at 60fps, including:
- KillZone: Shadow Fall = 1920×1080 (MP=60fps, SP=30fps)
- DriveClub = 1920×1080 (Targeting 60fps)
- Flower = 1920×1080 (60fps)
- Resogun = 1920×1080 (60fps)
Now there’s also Warframe and DC Universe Online that are also 1080p at 60fps, but neither of those are native next-gen games; they’re ports. That would be the equivalent of looking through the Wii U’s eShop and naming all the native 1080p 60fps indie games and Wii ports, and by comparison the Wii U would wipe the floor with the competition in that regard.

But look at that list for the PlayStation 4… while I love what Sony is doing with the console, we can see that Killzone isn’t native 60fps, but only 60fps in multiplayer with tons of downscaling of the graphics and visual effects.

We also have DriveClub which may or may not be native 60fps, as it seems as if it’s a bit of a toss-up. There’s also Flower, but again, if we’re counting Flower then we may as well leave Wind Waker HD on the list. That means we have three-and-half games on the PS4 side running 1080p at 60fps.
Xbox One
On the Xbox One side it looks even worse. We have…
- Killer Instinct = 1280×720 (60fps)
- Forza 5 = 1920×1080 (60fps)
- Call of Duty: GHOSTS = 1920×1080
You may as well scratch Call of Duty: Ghosts off that list because it’s also going to be 60fps on the Wii U and PS4. That just leaves us with Killer Instinct and Forza Motorsport 5, granted only one of those games is a next-generation title at native 1080p and 60fps.
According to the site, this leaves us with the Wii U being more next-gen than its supposed bigger, badder, next-gen competitors.

The Stig on Forza Motorsports 5 video

Facebook
Twitter

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Top Gear has shared a teaser trailer showing the digital version of its mysterious driver on the TV series, The Stig. He will be included in the game marking lap times that you have to beat.

Yes, Internet, making his debut in Forza Motorsport 5 is the virtual version of our tame racing driver — though this one’s slightly different. He — or it — is allegedly beatable. But only if you’re really good. That means you lucky folks who plan on snapping up the shiny new Xbox One and Forza 5 next month will be among the planet’s first to take him on.

As you know, Forza 5 will feature the Top Gear test track, rendered in meticulous detail, including the follow-through and Gambon sections. Though the ramshackle shed where we store all of our crisps might not have made the cut.

Still, you’ll have in-game commentary from Jeremy, Richard and James on the career modes, and races inspired by Top Gear events, amongst other things.

Have a watch of the video above, and start stretching your thumbs ready for battle when it comes out on Nov 22nd. Remember, even The Stig’s Digital Cousin doesn’t take defeat lightly…

It’s the Stig’s Digital Cousin! Here’s your chance to try and beat him with Forza Motorsport 5…

The Xbox One Super V8 is, if you’re unaware, a bit of a beast. Set to compete at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 this Sunday, this Hulk-green slice of Aussie muscle is seriously bonkers: 640bhp from a 5.0-litre V8, to give a 0-60mph time of 3.3 seconds and top speed of185mph.

It’ll be raced by Britain’s three-time WTCC champ Andy Priaulx and two-time DTM winner Mattias Ekstrom, but there’s one other driver who you’ll be able to race against. But he’s not The Stig. He’s The Stig’s Digital Cousin.

Take a look at PlayStation 4 retail packaging

Facebook
Twitter

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Chris Owen, Community Manager at PlayStation Europe, has released pics of the retail box for the PlayStation 4, the DualShock 4, and the new PS Camera.

You probably could’ve guessed, but the retail box for the PlayStation 4 rocks the same blue and white color scheme Sony’s been employing for some time now.

A handful of DualShock 4 flavors are on display, from classic black to „Wave Blue“ and „Magma Red,“ and everything looks just about how we’d expect given the last eight months of introducing the PS4. The only bizarre standout — the vertical stand — is, well, it’s a silly hunk of plastic that keeps the PlayStation 4 vertical.

PS4 Still Preferred By Gamers This Holiday Season

Facebook
Twitter

Reading Time: 2 minutes
With the holiday season fast approaching, the question on every gamer’s mind is „which next-gen console is most worth buying.“ According to this brand new study, the scale seems slightly tipped in favor of Sony’s PS4. As told by Reuters, twenty six percent of a 1,297 person online sample claimed that they would be investing on a $399 PS4.

This pales in comparison to the fifteen percent that currently have their heart set on a $499 Xbox One. Oh, and as for Nintendo’s Wii U, only three percent of respondents showed an interest in that hardware. When observing those numbers, the rumors of early PS dominance seem to be panning out for now.

However, there is still a lot to be said about current-gen machines as well. While many of the participants are ready and willing to plop down several hundreds of dollars on a brand new box, the majority of buyers are content to wait before making this kind of purchase decision. When tallied, a full sixty-four percent claimed they wouldn’t be looking at any new hardware at all this Christmas. In that sense, there’s still a lot of room for hardware makers to truly impress that undecided majority. Will PS4 remain the perceptive king, or can Xbox One reclaim a position of glory? Only time will tell!

Turn 10 Studios ruft FORZA MOTORSPORT 5 Showroom ins Leben

Bis zum Launch am 22. November werden wöchentlich neue Autos enthüllt

Die kommenden Wochen stehen dank FORZA MOTORSPORT 5 ganz im Zeichen der exklusivsten und schnellsten Sportwagen der Welt. Ab sofort werden bis zum Release im November im Rahmen des FORZA MOTORSPORT 5 Showroom wöchentlich die neuesten Fahrzeuge für FORZA MOTORSPORT 5 vorgestellt. Neben detaillierten Beschreibungen und exklusivem Bildmaterial zu den beliebtesten Boliden der Community, wird Woche für Woche ein Teil des Fuhrparks enthüllt.

Weitere Informationen sind auf Forzamotorsport.net unter diesem Link und auf der offiziellen Forza Motorsport Facebook Seite zu finden.

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR

Auf Basis des Evolution X hat Mitsubishi den Lancer völlig neu designt und der Karosserie deutlich mehr Aggressivität verliehen. Das passt zur Leistung, die noch einmal erhöht wurde. Durch einen neuen 2 Liter 4-Zylinder-Turbomotor, der erstmals aus Aluminium gefertigt wird, spart der Evo trotz Extras wie einer verstellbaren Nockenwelle knapp 12 kg ein. Zusätzlich zum geringeren Gewicht wurde die Leistung auf 295 PS erhöht. Auch der Rahmen des Evo wurde aus Aluminium gefertigt, was zusätzliche Gewichtseinsparungen und dadurch mehr Performance und ein besseres Handling bedeutet. Damit nimmt der Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR jede Kurve.

2009 Zonda Cinque Roadster

Pagani hat sich bei der Entwicklung des Cinque Roadster auf die Stärken früherer Zonda Modelle berufen und diese weiter verbessert. Obwohl der Cinque Roadster über eine Straßenzulassung verfügt, fühlt sich der Supersportwagen aufgrund seiner unglaublich geringen Bodenfreiheit auf der Rennstrecke am wohlsten. Denn falls der Front-Spoiler beschädigt wird, gehört viel Glück dazu passenden Ersatz zu finden: Wie der Name des Cinques andeutet, wurden nur fünf Exemplare gebaut. Der Zonda ist daher nicht nur ein technisches Meisterwerk mit beeindruckender Performance, sondern auch einer der seltensten Sportwagen, die jemals produziert wurden.

2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II

Als vorletztes Modell der „R34“-Baureihe des Skyline GT-R und als einer der letzten Skylines mit traditionellem 6-Zylinder-Saugmotor, ist der V-Spec II heute ein begehrtes Sammlerobjekt. Der V-Spec II (wobei das V für „Victory“ steht) verfügt über alle Eigenschaften des original V-Spec, besitzt jedoch eine steifere Karosserie und ist durch den Einsatz von Carbon leichter. Mit über 300 PS ist der GT-R nicht nur schnell – vor allem bei wenig Grip spielt der Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II das volle Potential seines Allradantriebes aus.

Zusätzlich zu den oben genannten Boliden, werden in dieser Woche die folgenden Fahrzeuge für FORZA MOTORSPORT 5 bestätigt:

2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8

2013 Ford Focus ST

2010 Audi TT RS Coupe

2012 Scion TC

2009 Jeep Cherokee SRT8

2011 Kia Cee’d

2005 TVR Sagaris

1965 Alfa Rome Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale

1999 Dodge Viper GTS ACR

1998 Eagle Talon TSi Turbo

2009 Ferrari California

2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R

2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe

1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2010 Maserati GranTurismo S

2003 Toyota Celica SS-I

Almost 40% of Xbox Live audience is female

Facebook
Twitter

Reading Time: 2 minutes
COO for Microsoft, Mr. Kevin Turner made some comments recently that Xbox Live ‚audience‘ is made up of 40 percent of ‚females‘ now, and also 42% of Xbox Live members watch more then 30 hours of digital TV and Movies on their Xbox 360 console.

Of course no data was supplied for his claims, or what he calls ‚audience‘ for the 40% female part, and this is all related to USA market, and shows why they are pushing more TV/Sports/Movies then ‚Games‘ this time around for their Xbox One console with stats like this.

Almost 40 percent of the Xbox Live „audience“ in the United States is female, Microsoft COO Kevin Turner revealed this week during the company’s financial analysts meeting 2013.

It is not clear how Microsoft qualifies „audience“ in this context. A Microsoft spokesperson was not immediately available to comment.

Turner said this 40 percent figure represents a „giant change“ from when Xbox Live was originally introduced, though no specific numbers were provided.

Also during the presentation, Turner reiterated that Xbox Live has 48 million members in 41 countries. In addition, he revealed that 42 percent of Xbox Live subscribers in the U.S. watch 30 hours of digitally distributed TV and movies every month.

In 2012 alone, Turner said the Xbox platform delivered over 18 billion hours of entertainment globally.

Looking ahead to the Xbox One, Turner said the system is poised to have a successful launch.

„And we’re excited about the upcoming Xbox One launch. We believe we’ve got an incredible offering with Xbox One as it relates to multiplayer experiences and services,“ Turner said. „It’s going to give you–we’ve wrapped a lot of entertainment with the product as well, and we believe we’ve got our strongest game lineup, and the external pundits say it as well, that we’ve ever had to be able to offer as a company.“

Xbox zeigt auf der Tokyo Game Show zum ersten Mal CRIMSON DRAGON

Neues Gameplay von DEAD RISING 3 wurde präsentiert

Auf der Tokyo Game Show hat Microsoft einen allerersten Blick auf CRIMSON DRAGON gewährt, dem spirituellen Nachfolger von der gefeierten PANZER DRAGOON-Reihe. Außerdem wurde ein neues Gameplay von dem kommenden Zombie-Blockbuster DEAD RISING 3 aus dem Hause Capcom präsentiert.

CRIMSON DRAGON hebt in Tokyo ab

Der flugbasierte Shooter CRIMSON DRAGON wurde vom angesehenen Spiele-Entwickler Yukio Futatsugi entworfen und bietet actiongeladenes Gameplay und eine brandneue Benutzeroberfläche. Auf der Tokyo Game Show hat Microsoft Studios, in Zusammenarbeit mit Grounding und Land Ho! einen allerersten Blick auf das Spiel gewährt. Der Titel erscheint exklusiv für Xbox One am 22. November und lässt den Spieler einen kraftvollen Drachen reiten und damit abheben. Die Menschheit ist am Rande der Vernichtung auf einem Planeten, der von Drachen beherrscht wird. Es liegt am Spieler und seinen Freunden, die beflügelten Biester unter Kontrolle zu bringen und um die Macht zu kämpfen.

Capcom zeigt Ko-Op Multiplayer und Super-Kombo Waffen für DEAD RISING 3

Zudem hat Capcom den Online Ko-Op Modus, sowie Super-Kombo Waffen von DEAD RISING 3 präsentiert, zwei brandneue Features, die den gefeierten Franchise ergänzen werden.

Im Ko-Op Modus kann sich der Spieler via Xbox Live gemeinsam mit einem Freund den Zombie-Horden stellen, mit der Möglichkeit in dem jeweiligen Spiel ein- und wieder auszusteigen. Steigt der Spieler in das Spiel eines Freundes ein, kann er diesem nicht nur weiterhelfen, sondern trägt dabei auch zu seiner eigenen Story-Entwicklung bei und verdient dabei Erfahrungspunkte. Jede Mission die in einem Spiel eines Freundes erfüllt wird, wird auch im eigenen Spiel als erledigt verzeichnet. So muss keine Mission ein zweites Mal im Einzelspielermodus erledigt werden, außer man möchte sie nochmal erleben. Ko-Op Spieler übernehmen die Rolle des Truckers Dick, der den Hauptcharakter Nick Ramos als seine beste Chance sieht, um aus der überlaufenen Stadt Los Perdidos rauszukommen. Dick spielt eine Schlüsselrolle in der DEAD RISING 3 Story.

Capcom hat ebenfalls Super-Combo Waffen enthüllt, ein neuer Rang von Combo-Waffen. Es werden mindestens drei Komponenten, sowie oftmals mehrere Schritte und Pläne gefordert, um diese Waffen zusammen zu stellen. Dafür bringen die neuen Waffen einzigartige Fähigkeiten mit sich, die dem Spieler helfen die Zombie-Horden mit vernichtendem Effekt zu dezimieren. Die Waffen sind nicht nur besonders kraftvoll, sondern können auch in verschiedenen Variationen angepasst werden, mit jeweils einzigartigen Fähigkeiten. Mit hunderten von Kombo- und Super-Combo Waffen bringt DEAD RISING 3 das Invidualisieren auf ein neues Level.
