Poll reveals PS4 is the preferred next-gen console

Reuters and Ipsos have conducted a poll of 1,297 US shoppers to see which of the two forthcoming next-gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony they preferred. The result? The PS4 has a clear lead.

With money still tight following the economic crisis, it’s not surprising to find a low percentage of consumers planning to be early adopters and purchasing a PS4 or Xbox One this year. However, 26 percent of those asked said they were probably going to buy a PS4. The Xbox One only managed 15 percent. The situation gets worse for Microsoft when considering just consumers under the age of 40. The same poll revealed 41 percent are going to opt for the PS4, where as only 27 percent want the Xbox One.

Of course, this is only a small subset of the consumer market, but it does reinforce the fact Sony has had a much easier time promoting its new console. That’s mainly because of the decisions and reversals on those decisions Microsoft has had to make in the last few months. Add to that the price difference of $100, and it’s not surprising that cash-strapped consumers are leaning more towards the cheaper machine that hasn’t been hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons.

Mighty No. 9 adds Vita and 3DS to stretch goals

Mighty No. 9 will head to 3DS and PlayStation Vita if its Kickstarter project reaches $3.5 million, a project update revealed today. Comcept has raised over $2.6 million in its crowdfunding campaign so far, which is scheduled to end on Tuesday, October 1. Meanwhile, the campaign's previously announced $3.3 million goal would bring the game to PS4 and Xbox One, and the game will already come to PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U thanks to reaching its $2.2 million goal.

Mighty No. 9 is a 2D side-scrolling platformer from Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune. The retro-inspired Mega Man spiritual successor includes a Boss Rush mode and will seek a balance between old-school difficulty and fair, modern gameplay. Comcept noted that, providing the $3.5 million stretch goal is met, Abstraction Games will be in charge of the Mighty No. 9 port to handheld systems, the same developer that brought Hotline Miami to PS3 and Vita. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Apocalypse DLC Arrives on PS3 Today

 

There are two ways to look at Apocalypse — the fourth and final DLC collection for Call of Duty: Black Ops II. You might see it as the end of new multiplayer maps after a long, fruitful year of content. Or, you might choose to see it as the beginning of the Zombies storyline. Either way, you’re right.

Let’s start with Origins, the Zombies adventure that answers one of the biggest questions in Call of Duty history: how did all this undead chaos really begin? The answer lies in World War I, and the original heroes of the Zombies saga — Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen — will be the ones who uncover that answer. With plenty of hidden surprises, a new song from Avenged Sevenfold, and giant robots that stomp across the battlefield, Origins is as satisfying as it is cryptic.

On the multiplayer front, Apocalypse delivers four maps worthy of the skill you’ve honed for months. Takeoff — a fresh take on the Black Ops fan-favorite Stadium — takes place on a remote launch platform in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, with statues and corridors that make you earn every sight line.

Rockstar has posted an update regarding the upcoming launch of Grand Theft Auto Online and what players can expect to experience from day one. There will be plenty of content to keep you busy, but also a warning about overloaded servers and the inherent issues and bugs that come with the launch of any online game.

GTA V is crashing Xbox 360s manufactured before 2009

One of the benefits of creating a game for consoles is the hardware remains a constant platform. For several years the same platform can be targeted, and a new game will play on even the oldest models of that console. Or will it? There’s growing concerns that GTA V is unplayable on older models of the Xbox 360, to the point where it is freezing up and crashing consoles.

One Word: Foreign Video Games Should Offer Subtitles Just Like Foreign Movies 

Games like Final Fantasy XIII should have options for subtitles and original-language voice tracks. Q: How hard would this be to offer? A: Not that hard! The original-language voice acting has already been recorded and paid for, so the costs would be negligible. And nearly all story-related games offer English subtitles anyway, so there wouldn’t be extra work there, either.
