  5. Choosing a Next Gen Console

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Personally, I am getting the PS4. Both consoles pretty much have the same Specs, but in my opinion, PS4 has the better exclusive games.

     

    PS4:

    • Daylight
    • DC Universe Online
    • Deep Down
    • Don’t Starve
    • DriveClub
    • Final Fantasy XIV
    • Galak-Z
    • Infamous: Second Son
    • Killzone: Shadow Fall
    • Knack
    • Mercenary Kings
    • Octodad: Deadliest Catch
    • Outlast
    • The Order 1866
    • PlanetSide 2
    • Ray‘s The Dead
    • Secret Ponchos
    • The Witness
    • Transistor

    Xbox One:

    • Forza 5
    • Halo 5
    • Killer Instinct
    • Minecraft One
    • Crimson Dragon
    • Dead Rising 3
    • Sunset Overdrive
    • Quantum Break
    • Ryse
    • Titanfall
    • D4

     

    The PS4 is $100 cheaper. One big reason is that the PS4′s attachable camera, a rough equivalent to Xbox’s Kinect, is sold separately for $60. I’d prefer to have the choice and save the money. 

     

    Microsoft is justifying the $499 price tag of the Xbox One by flagging the inclusion of Kinect as standard, while Sony is sticking to offering the PlayStation Eye as an extra peripheral (priced at $59). I’d argue that most gamers have no interest in motion-control, so cramming it down people’s throats is actually a bad thing. This difference in approach also suggests the PS4 is the console of choice for core gamers, with the Xbox One clearly embracing the casual crowd.

     

    I really don't want a new Halo. I want something different. Something new. Games like Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Infamous are all great games. I can play Titanfall on my PC. 

     

    Microsoft only changed some of their problems because they saw what Sony was doing and how they were dominating them in pre-order charts.

    PS+ seems more reliable and has a lot of better features than Xbox Live, imo.

    I can also use the extra $100 I'm not using on the Xbox One for a new game and/or controller.

     

    All I saw at E3 for Microsoft was "TV TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV, and... Call of Duty: Ghosts."

     

    These are all just my OPINIONS. I love Halo, and I play that 93% of the time on my 360. But I mean, come on. Its not the Halo I grew up with anymore. Halo 5 looks promising, but so do a lot of the other Exclusive games on PS4.

     

    You have some good points, and i may buy an Xbox One when Halo 5 comes out, but PS4 is my choice for now.

    Can the map submission be a previously forged map or new map? :question:  Can it be playable with other gametypes or Flood specific? :unknw:

    Are we there yet? Lol. :thumbsup:

    It has to be a new map forged within July 20th and August 18th. 

    It can be played with other gametypes. :)

    We're almost there ;)

  13. I REALLY want to make Machinima but..

    in Halo 4

    Posted

    Pretty much everything BaconShelf said.

     

    • A console (suggested: Xbox 360).
    • A game (suggested: Halo 3, Reach, Halo 4).
    • Body/voice actors.
    • A capture card (suggested: Hauppauge HDPVR, costs a lot, but worth it).
    • A good/powerful computer.
    • An excellent microphone for voice acting.
    • Video editor (suggested: Sony Vegas Pro, Final Cut Edit, NEVER Windows Movie Maker).
    • A well thought out script.
    • Maps forged and ready for custom games.

     

    Also, watch machinimas on YouTube. Learn from others (Arbiter 617, Digital Virus, etc) for inspiration. Try out some camera angles, listen to music (like Two Steps from Hell, Position Music, RipTide Music, Killer Tracks, Audiomachine, PostHaste Music, Zack Hemsey, Hans Zimmer, Ninja Tracks, Immediate Music).

     

    And most of all, remember to not give up. If you try hard enough, your machinima will turn out stunning and people will like it! Just keep going, and try your best while making your machinimas. ^-^

     

    Hope I helped! :)

  19. Making Machinima in Halo 4 is ... "Pointless" ?

    in Halo 4

    Posted

    ... pointless?

     

    Personally, I make machinimas in both Reach and Halo 4, and although it is easier to make machinimas in Reach, its still possible and fun to make them in Halo 4. You have to learn to concur Halo 4's obstacles and problems. 

     

    In my opinion, I made a great Halo 4 machinima about 2 months ago. I had problems, but I overcame them. 

    I'm just struggling to see how making a Halo 4 machinima is "Pointless". Its fun, it entertains the viewers, you can make some pretty scary machinimas with the Flood, has tons of mods, and weapon lowering online (its limited, but its there).

     

    Sure, you have some good points here. But its not enough for me to say that making a Halo 4 machinima is "pointless." 

     

    I mean come on, you have a map editor, Custom games, lots of mods, character customization, and better graphics.

    If I can make a Halo 4 machinima, anyone can.

     

    Btw: Spartans*, awkward*, you're*

  25. Halo 4 Is A Noob Friendly Game, Black Ops 2 Requires More Skill

    in Halo 4

    Posted

    lolwut.

     

    The negative K/D in Call of Duty Black Ops 2 is because of all the 11yr olds that beg their parents to buy the game for them and always scream into their mic.

    Halo 4, though it is much like CoD, still takes more skill to play.

     

    Like it or not, its a fact.

     

    Blacks Ops 2, in my opinion, is a mindless shooter. Its very easy to play. That's why so many young people play it. Because its easy and generic.

     

    Seriously, what does K/D have to do with anything?

    Some people are just naturally good. Maybe people are in MLG playing Halo 4. 

     

    Short and sweet, and to the point: CoD is easy = More people play it = More negative K/D.

     

    Halo takes more skill. Case closed.
