Then why didn't they pay more before?

Because the other company paid more...

I doubt it will be because Black Ops is made by Treyarch who haven't made a game since Black Ops 2 so hopefully they know what they're doing and by the looks of the beta, people seem to be really enjoying it.

Not so sure unfortunately, they still have boosting wall running etc, should have dropped all that crap and went back to a simple run and gun, think the franchise has run its course anyway, yearly releases are too much,

I didn't get AW so I can't speak for it but I think with BO3 they're aiming for a fast pace game with no breaks which I think is what COD is all about.

Activision have sided with the better console and where the money and potential is at. It's really as simple as that.

That's what they did with the 360 and now with the PS4.

They don't have an endless pit of money. They will see a value on it. If one company pays beyond that value then why would they pay more?

Microsoft have pumped a lot of money into Halo, its understandable they aren't interested in getting into a buying war with Sony for COD dlc and marketing rights.

They also recently spent a few million buying the Minecraft IP.
Last gen COD was more popular on the 360 while Battlefield IP was more popular on PS. DLC for both games was released first on the larger player base or each franchise first.

Now the tables have turned. Even in competitive tournaments COD is still Xbox based to this day, that says alot when they are about 25% more PS4s out there.

Well Black Ops 3 will be the first game where dlc is earlier on Playstation so of course the competitive tournaments are still xbox based.

Also if someone could provide the link for the COD forum, that would be greatly appreciated because I can't find it.

Not too mention that Activisions is starting their own competitive league now which is PS4. Not sure where you're getting the 25% there.

Overall sales of generation 8 consoles to date indicates that there are about 25% more PS4s than Xbox Ones sold to date.

Source?

Because most have it at ~50% as MS haven't been free with sales mile stones.

Guess work from what Sony have said and software sales of the latest games like MGSV when they are broken down by platform. That's assuming there is equal fan base from both sides, then you also have owners of both but mainly use one for multiplats.

I'd be amazed if it's 2:1.

That would be 100%. 3:2 ratio for Sony would be 50%. 5:4 ratio is 25%.

You know it late in evening when even those thoughts of reasoning start to make sense in ones mind.

Sorry to go back to until dawn discussion. I decided to try a bit of remote play last night with it and some of the controls dont map at all. I had to press r2 for something and i tried both the right trigger, the back and front touch surfaces and none of them registered as r2. When i pressed the back the little notification came up showing i had pressed it but nothing happened.
Has anyone come across this yet

EoinMcLovin

you can now purchase avatars on the PS4

I just noticed The Crew is in My Library with a download symbol. When i click our has download, buy and demo option. I clicked download and it looked to be downloading the full game. Anyone know the deal with this? Does it just prompt you to pay for it when you go to play it?

It may be similar to what happened with Destiny: The Taken King a few weeks back.

Flint Fredstone

I think that may be a timed demo of the full game. You only get like 30 minutes or so to play it and you must pay full price to play further.
I remember something like that on the PS3.

Yeah I remember that and when I saw the post I checked the settings but already had featured content turned off.

The demo was a seperate choice, had gotten the demo earlier that day and it was a couple of gb's where as the one I started downloading last night looked like a full game. Cancelled it as I didn't want any surprise charges but curious what happens if it downloaded fully. Not too be pushed as I didn't even like the demo but a free game would be nice.

EoinHef

Could delete any payment options you have setup and download the game? Cant charge you then

Could be a massive waste of bandwhith and time though,which will most likely be the case

Hey guys quick question, If I was to upgrade my hard drive would I lose all my save files. I know Id have to re download my games but are my saved games uploaded or saved on the system

Transfer them onto a USB drive and then transfer them back over from that when the new hard drive is in, simple as that, the only annoying thing is that you have to download or install each game before you can transfer over the save file for that game, so either take the time to install them all back on at once which will take ages, or keep the save files on the USB and bring them over as needed.

The saves can be upload to psn+ cloud storage and you won't lose them.

Wouldn't it be just easier to get hold of another hard drive and back up the whole thing and restore this to the new HD. Going to be doing this myself soon, sick of constantly juggling games and it's a total pain in the arse as I've nearly a completely digital collection with a slow enough broadband connection.

Oh God you know my pain, takes ages for me to download anything, get my brother to do everything in his house
