When is episode 2 of The Walking Dead season 2 gonna be released? It has been 2 months since the first episode...

I'm going to wait until the entire second season is out. I'm not about that episodic life. I couldn't imagine waiting 2 months to continue a game.

Not sure if there is any truth to this but I've seen a couple people mention that Ubisoft abandoned the "Watch Dogs" trademark

Pretty sure because the actual title is " Watch_dogs".

It cost way too much to get canceled and yea they don't need that trade mark because it's Watch_Dogs like swendro said.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

You guys knew what he meant.

Whatever the correct spelling is, is probably the trademark that was abandoned. Underscore and all.

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Whatever the case, Ubi Soft just announced the filing was "fraudulent"

Ubisoft told IGN, “We are working directly with the USPTO on reinstating the trademark for Watch Dogs and it will be active again in the coming days. The matter has no impact on the Watch Dogs' development."

PS4 vs Xbox One: which is the better media player?

Should you just stick with PlayStation 3?

It's early days for the next-generation consoles and right now both Sony and Microsoft are still working on getting a number of features up and running on their respective platforms, indicating that neither system was truly finished in the run-up to launch. With Microsoft in particular, we understand that resources were strained owing to the last minute decision to drop the cloud-based DRM in favour of a disc alternative, necessitating a large repurposing of internal resources. But the bottom line is clear - across a range of media tests, both Xbox One and PS4 have their issues, while the last-gen PlayStation 3 copes brilliantly in almost all scenarios.

It it's Xbox One's poor showing overall that saddens us. This is a piece of hardware built from the ground up to be the centre-piece of the living room - but its innovative OneGuide TV functions have no support outside of the USA, there's zero respect for 50Hz content and there are fundamental problems with playback of disc-based media, while we have issues with the all-important Netflix client, which simply isn't fit for purpose in its current state.

If your primary media consumption lies with 1080p Blu-ray, the PS4 is generally up to the task, performing as well as any standalone player in this regard, bar the odd incompatibility issue. However, the console's handling of DVD content and 1080i Blu-rays will upset the purists given Sony's previous media focus with the PS3, which generally does everything right. However, it's clear that of the two next-gen machines, the PS4 offers the preferable experience right now in terms of general usage - even though there are some issues with the key Netflix and LoveFilm apps.

With that in mind, it's currently hard to give a concrete endorsement to either next-gen console as a direct media hub replacement for the PS3 when there are so many issues. Some of the intermittent bugs are annoying to deal with and make the whole experience more frustrating than it should be, and the lack of quality assurance in general is disappointing - even basic testing shows up some serious issues that shouldn't have made their way into a shipping product, especially on Xbox One. This is a shame considering that picture quality for 1080p content is accurately displayed on both machines, and there has been some thought into the number of configurable audio/video options available on each system.

With a bit more time and work we could see the PS4 and Xbox One deliver an even more engaging entertainment experience than previous consoles, merging gaming, user-uploaded content, film and TV into one bespoke package that complements the modern loving room. But as of now, just getting the core functionality completely nailed would be a start - and in that respect, the stalwart PlayStation 3 covers all bases.

I've only quoted the conclusion but it's a good read overall. Given the angles both companies were coming from you would have expected the XBone to be the better media player.

It's a bit sad though how both of them fail at the stuff the PS3 does flawlessly though. Another reason to keep the PS3

 

[carver]

It's good reason to keep both last gen systems.. gonna have to wait a couple years before both start showing their full potential.
