What yall think ???

Hey you, kinect user playing dance central. Yes YOu. You look like a downs syndrome monkey trying to perform the heimlich maneuver on himself. Do yourself a favour and put...it DOWNNNN.
Also, one does not simply slap a screen on a controller and pass it off as a gaming console. You are unnecessarily raising the cost of entry for the system. If people want a handheld gaming device, THEY WILL BUY ONE!!
Why use a confail in the first place??? Open a console and you'll find that they are all PC components.
Add one midrange video card to your pc and get ready to experience gaming for the first time!!!
Put these nonsense confails to the only use they are good for....as a distraction to keep the wife and kids out of your hair and off your damn PC!!!
or as a doorstop or paperweight...

wow @ all that angst for the kinect in the comments.
not sure what's all the raging about. Kinect is much loved in my household.
hard lol @ awesome's console diss.
As far as distracting the wife and kids goes, an ipad 2 is far more effective.

So there are dev kits....daz all i go say :P

*Looks at awesome... shakes head and walks away*
I don't see the need for a controller with a HD touchscreen, that is all.

I feel Awesome get lixxxxxx in Dance Central and went back sulking to his beloved Battlefield 3. :laughing7:

Haha i feel so. Anyway, this is a thread for discussion about technology incorporated in next gen consoles, try to stay on topic guys. The last thing i want is for this thread to degenerate into the ever so childish "mine is better than yours" argument.

Report: Next Xbox Codenamed 'Durango'
The next-generation Xbox may be codenamed "Durango."
Crytek senior technical designer Sean Tracy wrote the following message on Twitter: "Enjoying the Durango developers summit in London. So far, great swag and interesting talks." Tracy deleted the tweet soon after it went live.
Keep in mind that Durango likely wouldn't be the final name of the project, similar to the Wii U's Project Cafe codename.
Previously, the successor to the Xbox 360 has been largely referred to as Xbox 720, though that codename has never officially been sanctioned by Microsoft. Rumors last year also suggested that the system was codenamed "Loop."
For now, Microsoft hasn't made any announcements about its next console, and all codenames are only a rumor.
Source: Eurogamer
Sounds kinda silly, shoulda just stuck with xbox 720
-
I'm hard pressed to say that, even with the new consoles on the rise, after avidly playing PC for the last 3 years, it's hard to return to the controller. I do however hope, that if its ONE thing that MS does about the the new xbox and the modifications to xbox live for the console, that the friends list exceeds 100 -__-

funny thing is I finding it hard to go back to a mouse n keyboard. wonder when the launch for this would be...

Report (rumour): Next Xbox To Have No Disc Drive
The next Xbox won't contain a physical disc drive, according to a new report.
A source close to British trade magazine MCV claims that Microsoft revealed this information under what it described as "the strictest NDA" they have ever encountered.
While the console will not contain a disc drive, according to the source, the report suggests it will contain "some sort of interchangeable solid-state card storage, although it is not known whether this will be proprietary or a more standard format such as SD."
MCV is also claiming that a 2013 release window for the hardware has been confirmed.
A move to digital-only distribution would be extremely unconventional for Microsoft; if there is any truth to this report, it would be a major blow for traditional retail. Microsoft has yet to officially deny the story.
In response to the report, Microsoft has said, "We are always thinking about what is next for our platform and how to continue to defy the lifecycle convention. Beyond that we do not comment on rumors or speculation."
What do you think about the latest murmuring about Microsoft's next console?

I figure they will offer two version
they already played with the 4gb version of the xbox 360
prices have dropped, so by 2013 I am sure they could include a roomier HD and skip the optical drive on one of the SKUs
Allowing it to hit a pricepoint that the competitors will find tough to match if they only have options with optical drives.

http://www.polygon.com/2013/4/26/4268782/next-xbox-drm-achievements-live
Sources tell Polygon that the next Xbox will indeed have some form of an always-on requirement. That will be both to support the suite of non-gaming entertainment applications that will be launched alongside the console, like streaming video services, but also as a possible anti-piracy tool. Currently, the console will support digital rights management and anti-piracy checks using an internet connection. Under Microsoft's current guidelines, which may still be changed, the decision of whether a game will require an internet connection to work and if that is a one-time authentication or a constant connection, will be left up to individual publishers.
THE NEXT XBOX WILL ALLOW PUBLISHERS TO DECIDE IF THEIR GAMES SHOULD REQUIRE AN INTERNET CONNECTION TO BE PLAYED.
The fact that offline gameplay, always online and one-time checks are supported, means that in the future, publishers will have much greater control over copyright protection for their games.
Take that in allyuh pipe and smoke it.
Tell dem nah 'Orthy' :laughing7:

I dont even get why they are doing this. I thought that they pretty much had piracy under control with the consoles as opposed to the PC which is why less emphasis is placed on the PC..
Just another reason to love the PC as a gaming platform.
-
LOL
That is hilarious but I'm not sweating it.
Always Online games are the ultimate answer to piracy.
Expect that trend to continue far into the future as the world is only going to become more connected.
For every two failed implementations you can find a hundred that worked.
Steam itself is the absolute success story for online drm.
Consoles will inevitably embrace that model.
I look forward to it because if steam is any indicator, it will mean a heavy drop in pricing for games as well. The shift to online and digital distribution has many pros, not just cons.

Lol @ dirt under fingernails.
Soooooooo, lemme just talk about the elephant in the room here...since Xbox One is clearly just an ordinary HTPC with some customised (x86) hardware, whats the possibility of us FINALLY having the Xbox OS available for regular ass PC's with KB and mouse support???????
This applies to Sony as well. You guys, are you listening???

I would give the dirt under my fingernails to get keyboard and mouse support

OK...so I'm impressed with the new Kinect features, and the fact that it's now included as standard kit.
The new 'quick switch' feature is also great...as is the multitasking. (Things my PC could do 5 years ago :/ )
Wasn't impressed by much else. :(
I don't play sports games, or watch TV/movies on consoles...which is what the majority of this presentation focused on. :(
Oh, and Call Of Duty...................
(http://kimindebus.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/9gag-poker-face.jpg)
Just like their E3 presentation last year...the focus seems to be shifting away from actual GAMERS...you know, the ones who want
something OTHER than Call Of Duty and FIFA. :(
At least the Halo TV series is a plus.
I wonder if Halo 5 and 6 will be Xbox One only...?
Paying to play a used game...wow...not sure how I feel about that one.
This article pretty much summed up my feelings... http://e-mpire.com/content.php/2078-Xbox-One-Reveal-Reactions
All in all, the conference left a lot to be desired. Microsoft had better have one hell of an E3 press conference lined up if they expect to give the PS4 any competition at all at the end of the year. Even if they showcase an awesome lineup of games, the mandatory installs, pay to play online (especially now that PS4 is introducing the same features for free), and pay to play used games will hurt Xbox One a lot as it tries to compete with the PS4.
Consider me 'whelmed.
*waits patiently for E3*
-
Now that we know the name. :)
-
From a purely technological standpoint, The XBOX One is superior to the PS4. Kinect 2, Force feedback in each individual button, multitasking, tripple OS so MS can advance the apps side without affecting the game side, etc etc, are all nice features that the ps4 does not have, (yes we know PCs have been doing this for eons). Xbox has positioned itself as the ultimate living room device. Something the playstation just cant compete with at the moment.
Games on the other hand is a different story. Sony traditionally has more and better exclusives than Microsoft. But despite that, the xbox 360 has beaten the ps3 in sales. I have no doubt that the Xbox One will follow suit, and leave PS4 brining up the rare.
COD Ghost new engine looks superior to B4, (provided the footage was real, i have a feeling they powered it with a pc).
Quite frankly i could care less for both Xbox One and PS4, i not getting either, cause ill be running all the cross platform games on meh PC. What i am happy about with the new consoles is the fact that, game advancement kind of limited to the technology available in the consoles. John Carmac said they can make games looking much much better utilizing the power of the pc, but then the consoles woudlnt be able to run it.
So unfortunately PC gaming is held back by the power of the consoles. So i glad for better looking games, and more advanced gameplay and mechanics, lighting, physics, etc. (Yes that dirt under the finger nails is actually amazing progress which translate to amazing overall detail and quality when done right collectively in a game, physx in borderlands 2 for instance, was done so good, it seems like a different game all together, when enabled on the high setting).
All in all, i never owned an xbox, not xbox 1, nor xbox 360. But i owned a PS2 and PS3. and quite frankly i think the xbox one > ps4. If Microsoft can only get a nice lineup of exclusives other than Halo and Gears Of War.
(quick jab at wyatt : them next gen graphics leepfrog mobile by some years well eh, just saying :) , P.S. where we split thread?)

Hands-on with Xbox One's new gamepad, 'impulse triggers' included
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/xboxonewith360hedimg.jpg)
If there's one thing we never realized, it's how much time our thumbs spend glued not to the top of the thumbsticks, but to the sides of it. The new texture and thickened edges on the analog sticks add a real grippiness to the sticks. If it keeps us from slipping and missing a heashot even once, that's enough to appreciate the difference.
Now, what you're really here for -- how do the impulse triggers feel? Well, they feel weird. They feel super, super weird. The only demo were were able to control was extremely brief. In it, a helicopter goes up, and then down. In that process, you can feel the impulse triggers vibrating wildly. Though they were identical in terms of rumble applied to each trigger, we're told it can applied by developers similarly to controller rumble. The rumble in the controller we used was extremely strong, and that makes sense given the placement of the rumble motors -- directly inside each of the triggers.
From the brief demo, we can't quite tell if rumble triggers will be a game changer, exactly, but it sure is a noticeable change from the past. Like any other game technology, the real test will be with games that take advantage of its promise (or not) -- we're looking to E3 to make that rest a reality.

lol @ that xbox one summary vid
TV TV COD TV SPORT COD TV
funny as hell
But yes, I will definitely be buying one (God willing) because they had me at Halo.
So that isn't even an issue.
I've also been extremely impressed with Kinect....so definitely looking forward to Kinect 2.0. The sky is the limit with that technology. Especially for sports, fitness and kiddie games. Family fun here we come.
Messiah, this is playing straight into my prophecy.
I said...consoles will pwn PCs.
Then mobile will pwn consoles.
With this new generation, the PC era is all but over.
And given the specs of the xbox one and PS4, I can easily see mobile equating them in five years.
-
PC over ? Lol.
We'll see.
I juss looking forward to epic next gen games.
Although star wars 1313, Cod ghost and maybe b4 is d only true next games I see so far.
-
This system looks real powerful. I wonder how much it will cost?
-
I'd wager it will start at $5something and work its way down to $3something over the course of two years.

-
But consoles are essentially pc's. As long as consoles do well, pc's will do equally well.
That has proven to not be the case
Check out this staggering fact:
COD BlackOPs 2 sales figures
The Xbox 360 version was the top selling version with sales of 6.21 million units. This is a 55 percent market share of the total sales. The PlayStation 3 version sold 4.61 million units, or 41 percent of the total sales. The PC version sold 400,859 units in its opening week.
Lets put those numbers into perspective.
55% xbox
41% PS3
4% PC
The consoles sold 26 times more copies of the game than the PC platform did.
That is STAGGERING.
So in reality, as long as the consoles continue to do so well....the PC platform will become more and more irrelevant to developers.
Expect more sloppy ports, if any at all.
-
Actually Wyatt that's not the case and I agree with Awesome.
Sales figures for pc games doesn't include steam. Because steam does not release their sales figures.
Having said that we know steam accounts for a vast number of the sales on PC.
If PC wasn't doing good, developers wouldn't bother going through the effort of Releasing the games on PC.
Name some triple A cross platform titles that not available on PC?
Apart from combat games I don't think you'll find many at all that isn't available.
PC is doing just fine. I've bought more pc games in the last few years than in my entire life. I'm sure that holds true for most of the PC gamers here.
Also most of the game demos at E3 are shown off on PC.
Tell me what sloppy ports u referring too anyways, apart from the crysis fiasco....and even so, d PC version is better.
And PC still leading the charge in it's strongest genre, RTS.
SC2, WOW, Dota, League, C&C, Company of heroes, etc.
If PCs die, so do they, and that eh happening.
So given d lack of d real sales numbers, and the boost in available crossplatform games on the PC, and the increase in E-sport activity, i think PC is just fine, best its been in years.
And the fact that ps4 IS a pc now, it even easier for developers to make games for all 3, and the PC versions would look even better than it already does because of the shared architecture with both flagship consoles.

May 24th, 2012 at 8:49 am - Author Harrison
Activision Blizzard announced yesterday that they sold more than 3.5 million copies of Diablo 3 in the first 24 hours of release. Shattering the PC sales record. In the first week they claim to have sold 6.3 million copies.
Diablo 3 is the latest release in the Diablo franchise and a game that many people have been waiting 12 years to get their hands on. Diablo II sold 4 million copies in the year after it was released.
The sales don’t include the 1.2 million people who received the game as part of a ‘World Of Warcraft’ promotional campaign."
Cough, cough, yup, pc dead.
"Blizzard has announced that 1.1 million copies of Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm were sold during the expansion’s first two days on sale. The figure includes both digital and retail sales and represents sales worldwide.
Blizzard reports that more than 125,000 concurrent users tuned into its 21-hour broadcast of “launch events and community celebrations” and that more than 157,000 concurrent viewers tuned into MLG’s Heart of the Swarm tournament during the Winter Championship in Dallas last weekend.

Etc etc etc....

Betamax seriously? Loll.
And yes ill keep rallying, u eh see my PC?
PC gaming FTW.

I don't give you wrong. The PC is a superior and epic platform but at sometime we have to start smelling the coffee and brace for the future. lol
Oh and if you think COD doing so well on steam....here are real statistics for you to chew on.
Those numbers are tepid. 20,000 current players? weak.
Bested by Borderlands 2 and totally wtfpwned by team fortress and dota.
Even if we are generous and give steam a million copies in sales....it still doesn't put a dent in the 10 million plus copies sold and properly accounted for by the consoles.

What is interesting in what Wyatt pointed out is that DOTA2 is the #1 played game on steam.. but its... FREE... not helping the $$$ games for the PC. Either way I am waiting to see titles and price before I make my decision, but its likely i'll own a Xbox one eventually.
I have a gaming PC sitting home playing DOTA2 by my brother (cause I don't use it) and whilst I own almost as many PC titles as I do Xbox 360 titles (thanks to Steam sales) I have played no more than 60% of the games I own and beat less than 10%...
Sadly i've been pwnt by the consoles because of its ease of use, ability to carry wherever I need (yes I own a carrying case for my xbox, it's quite neat and NO I ain't toting my HAF 932 ANYWHERE THAT ISH IS HEAVY) and largely because of the amount of friends I have on XBL.
I have been trying to get into the DOTA sweat and whilst its fun and I can play it on my work laptop (only real reason I can play it) the learning curve is daunting, the gamers are even more hostile than on XBL (imagine that) and I can barely get ANYONE (GATT INCLUDED) to sweat with a n00b like me. Its' just REALLY not helping.
Now that is one example i'll give you that, but considering my laptop can't really play other titles (and dota2 at LOW settings) means i'm not gonna be gaming much on the PC though I will continue to buy titles when steam has sales in the HOPE i get to play it one day and i'm certain I am not alone in what I have stated here.
-
Only games I ever wanted to play on Xbox is gears of war, (I'm not a halo fan). All d rest available on PC, and one game, though very epic, (I love gears on pc), wasn't enough to sell me a 360, even d'oh 360 dirt cheap now. And I think the same will hold true for next gen. Gears on X-One not going sell me the console. Ill faster buy a PS4. And mite even be skipping that cause I still struggling to beat uncharted 2 and 3.
What MS needs to do is license Nintendo games. But if Nintendo goes belly up, I faster see sony getting that deal than MS.

Funny enough I made the comment with Sony losing money all over (save maybe the playstation... NOW) that it'd be funny it MS bought them out... adding to the mix Nintendo... maybe MS should just buy them both. This convo actually started because of that LAME video sony posted showing blurs of a black blob and close ups of what I guess is the PS4... which coincidentally specification whise is more or less the same as a XBox one... both APUs made by AMD, both have 8GB ram, both are black boxes and being x86 can't be TOO far off each other... but like I said it was just funny.
Sadly I am looking for a Xbox tracker that shows how many ppl playing online but I can't. If anyone has such links do post, I can say COD BL2 prolly maintains over 150k users by itself, Halo 4 around 50K and that's all I play and they actually show stats in game. What i'd be interested in seeing is total XBL players online and the distribution of games. PC has the behemoths like WOW and LOL which i'd like to see a total tally of ALL ONLINE PC gamers and ALL online console gamers to really see what the market looks like, instead of us throwing idle banter at each other.
-
MS cannot buy Sony. Sony too big. Nintendo on the other hand is doable. But Nintendo and Sony being both Japanese companies, I faster see Sony getting the deal than MS. But is uncle bill we talking bout, cant put nothing past him.
And wintry I also didn't get all d jabs that was thrown at MS event. I find it was good. D hardware good, d software tech better, and they offer more for the living room for d same price. Sony just have the exclusives. Which is also important.

Multiple accounts can use a single Xbox Live subscription on the One
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/xbox287.jpg)
If you joined us for the Xbox One reveal yesterday, you'll probably know that amidst all the excitement, we learned that a single Xbox Live Gold membership will cover both the 360 and the next-gen console. Good stuff -- no extra expenditure, subscription sign-ups or other irritations. But, it gets even better, as a couple of Microsoft bigwigs told Polygon that Live memberships can also used by multiple profiles. That means several accounts can be created on one console, for discrete friends lists, personal Home screens and the like, but they'll all be able to feed off the same subscription. We're not sure how this'll work exactly, but it already sounds better than the Gamertag-specific membership model on the 360, which is responsible for far too many amazing kill stats being lost to the dreaded "Guest" account.

Sony as a whole yes, but sony computer entertainment, as you said it's bill.

I actually thought chiney post was in favor of PC lol, funny how we look at the same numbers and interpret it differently.
Anandtech has a very nice article about the X-One, PS4, Mobile gaming, and the living room.
I invite you all to take a read.

I now finish read d article, very intriguing, I like what MS did, great times ahead for gamers. I especially like this part:
"Arguably the most interesting thing in all of this is the dual-OS + hypervisor software setup behind the Xbox One. With the Windows kernel running alongside the Xbox OS, I wonder how much of a stretch it would be to one day bring the same setup to PCs. Well before the Xbox One hits the end of its life, mainstream PC APUs will likely be capable of delivering similar performance. Imagine a future Surface tablet that was capable of doing everything your Xbox One can do. That's really the trump card in all of this. The day Microsoft treats Xbox as a platform and not a console is the day that Apple and Google have a much more formidable competitor. Xbox One at least gets the software architecture in order, then we need PC/mobile hardware to follow suit and finally for Microsoft to come to this realization and actually make it happen. We already have the Windows kernel running on phones, tablets, PCs and the Xbox, now we just need the Xbox OS across all platforms as well."
And I could see hackers now ripping that Xbox OS to port to PCs, s thing running on hyper-v, that should be relatively easy to extract, especially seeing u have a windows os running on the Xbox which allows easier hacking access to the subsystem. Hyper-v sucks in corporate, VMware just too good, but this implementation of it is smart.

Consoles are pc's without having to upgrade parts evry so often that said i'm a console man was a pc person a LOOOOOOONG time ago but got too lazy to keep to the latest trends not to mention brokes. Consoles give A little above average graphics in a box that plays a wide range of games without much upgrading, now it is known that a high end pc looks way better than a console when it comes to the cross platform but how many of you know at least one person that if you ask them their pc specs they tell you xp,vista or win 7.

Good looking out W1n. +1

+1 to you Mez
And Messiaah, you are absolutely right. Microsoft has all the key components to enter that mobile gaming space with aplomb.
It is an inevitable transition and when they do make it, Apple and Google will be in trouble.
For their sake, they better make it sooner rather than later because Android and IOS devices are ramping up to be an "unstoppable freight train" of mobile momentum.
Qloxx also touched on a key component....there are less and less "techies" coming up into the fray. On the other hand, every day hundreds of console gamers are born.
We are a dying breed and soon our numbers will be insignificant.
The messiah's, the arcmanovs, the captain awesome's.....I challenge you to name five new gatt members in the past year who have joined and show the level of tech savvy of these three?
If I go to my son's class and ask them what are the latest ATI or Nvidia graphics card on the market....they'll watch me and say "hodor??"
These same kids will be asking for an XBOX One / PS4 come Christmas.
Reality of the situation.

I excited for Xbox as a platform for the fact that ill be able to install it on meh PC. could care less about the mobile side of things.
And unfortunately technology is responsible for the dumbing down of the general population world wide. The trend you explain wyatt has been un-going for years. And I cant speak for gatt, but I do know a few young minds upcoming that can carry the "techie" torch into the next decade. But yes, we are a dying breed. Quite sad really...

The more 'advanced' consoles get, the more i'm watching it and saying that.. is a blasted miniATX PC
that i'm paying far more for branding, and the ability to use it on my tv screen, than i am for any ability.
I just don't see the point anymore, the longevity of PC GAMES vs consoles is another thing too, with steam I can easily upgrade to a completely new machine in 4-5 years or spend time slowly upgrading piece by piece without(hardly) ever having to worry that I Can't play the old Games on my new PC.
Furthermore the more I compare it, the more I much rather have a PC that games, than a game machine that PC's
Cause a PC that games, usually does the latter far better than a Game machine that PC's #endrant

Microsoft's Don Mattrick talks Xbox One, calls backwards compatibility backwards
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/xbox-console2-600.jpg)
One of the more controversial bits of news to come out of yesterday's Xbox One reveal was the discovery that the newly christened console would not be able to play Xbox 360 games. Backwards compatibility has been a sore subject for some gamers but Microsoft's Don Mattrick says the company is looking forward, not back. "If you're backwards compatible," he told The Wall Street Journal, "you're really backwards."
While the news was met with some chagrin, it's not terribly surprising. The Xbox One's architecture -- equipped with a new x86 CPU -- prevents it from being able to run games designed for the 360's eight year old Xenon processor. Additionally, Mattrick claims that players making use of backwards compatibility were a negligible percentage of their consumer base. While Mattrick's words are sure to stick in more than one craw, they reflect the reality of the market. With Nintendo struggling to juggle Wii games on the Wii U and Sony's Playstation 4 abandoning current gen PSN games, it looks like backwards compatibility is a thing of the past.

Want to 'lend out' your Xbox One games? The borrower will have to pay a 'fee' to play it... http://kotaku.com/you-will-be-able-to-trade-xbox-one-games-online-micros-509140825
...and oh, you can't actually play your game on your own console console till you install it to the HDD (mandatory) and 'activate' it online.
The game is then tied to your account. Looking more and more like that gaming PC eh? :)
You can play your game on someone else's Xb1, provided you sign into your account. It's 'free' that way.
Unbelievable. :shakehead:

Mez, a console has been nothing more than a neutered HTPC since the PS3 / Xbox 360 era. lol.
Do not underestimate the power of branding.
When Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo start an all out advertising war for their systems, consoles will gain immeasurable mind share amongst the masses.
Who will stand for the PC? I doubt messiaah gonna fund a US$100 million dollar campaign.
Our best (and only) hope lies with Gabe Newell and some iteration of the steam box.
Offer a full fledged PC to drop into your living room that can go toe to toe with the PS4 / Xbox One at a similar price point (say us$599.00) 8 Core APU, 16GB Ram, 1terrabyte HD with a marketing campaign to end all campaigns and boom, we may have a fighting chance.
On the topic of backward compatiblity, I have never played a xbox original game on my xbox 360 (nor desired too)
Never played a game cube game on my wii
Never played a PS2 game on my PS3
Not really seeing it as a big deal.
What about the rest of you?
-
I understand that Wyatt, with a new generation of consoles comes a new generation of game, see thread fifa 1- infinity
however. Not wanting to play a game when a new console comes out doesn't mean you should necessarily be devoid of ever really having that opportunity unless you hang onto and keep in pristine condition the system itself.
Another thing
Anything you can do I can emulate better!
-
Well there is an opportunity cost (as with most things)
Do I
A ) Invest millions of dollars in adding old xbox code and hardware, increasing the cost price and taking up precious silicon space on my new console to offer backward compatibility to a fraction of my potential user base that will require / demand this feature?
Or
B ) Skip this feature altogether, run a less complex and more efficient system and profit (running the risk that my competitors may offer this feature and see an exodus of old customers driven into their arms)
http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2013/04/talking_point_how_the_ps4_will_put_an_end_to_some_of_the_ps3s_biggest_issues
Looks like the competitors aren't doing backward compatible either.
So they have nothing to lose.
-
Well I use my PS3 to play all my PS2 Ace Combat games eh. I was happy to give my cousin the PS2 because of the PS3's backwards compatibility.
It was also great to be able to play all my older PS1 games on my PS2 as well, so I had no problem giving away the PS1 as well.
The lack of backwards compatibility will be a deal - breaker for many. I know quite a few people with very large libraries... XBLA games included, that are mighty pissed about this.

Steambox is for the "non techies" who don't understand how to connect an HDMI cable from their PC to the TV in the living room.
@Arcmanov
Both Microsoft and Sony are willing to bet those "miffed" by the loss of backward compatibility will still buy the nexgen consoles.
I think they are right.
Alternative??? SALT
I wouldn't be surprised if they have a gentleman's agreement to leave out that feature for both of their sake's.

If you can get past the angst, he does raise some very valid concerns...
http://youtu.be/9ekOtn7L1N0
...and I share his disappointment.
The one major advantage (buying-selling-reselling) that consoles had over PCs has now been effectively erased.
Now the Xbox One's gaming ecosystem is going to function just like Origin, or Steam. This isn't very encouraging...at all.
Hmmm...better I just spend that Xbox One money on two new GPUs. No sense having more than one gaming PC in the house. :/
Their E3 showing needs to be absolutely spectacular to keep wallets from closing entirely.
You've seen the general reactions across the internets. Gamers are not pleased.

@ Wyatt, i have no idea either. E3 is where the games at.
MS trying to do a sony and nintendo combined. Casual market and entertainment is important to MS, especially in the US. That conference was to show the hardware, and was more for that audience. Regardless of what, all the hard core gamers are going to be watching E3, so once MS show d games there who gives a shit?
Is not like PS4 out now and men hard pressed as to what console to go with. Once MS come with they games at E3 it doh matter. And nintendo already show the casual audience is a tangeable market, they outsold both ps3 and xbox 360 for a while. And at launch the kinect sol 8 million in 2 days. So clearly it have an audience fo that.
As hardcore gamers we mite not care about kinect, tv, kinect, xbox, tv, but there is money to be made there and MS want it. So once they satisfy Hardcore at e3, their strategy better than sony imo. Cuase say what u want, the Xbox One can do many things the PS4 just cant do, and it have nothing the PS4 could do that the xbox cant.
-
Perfectly said
-
the Xbox One can do many things the PS4 just cant do, and it have nothing the PS4 could do that the xbox cant.
Care to back that statement up with some facts Mr Microsoft? It seems like you know a lot more than most.
According to this Anandtech article (http://www.anandtech.com/show/6972/xbox-one-hardware-compared-to-playstation-4), (yes...the same one you 'told' us to read) both systems seem pretty on par with each other, based on the fact they're using the same hardware design philosophy.
Consider what Anand says here...
Sony gave the PS4 50% more raw shader performance, plain and simple (768 SPs @ 800MHz vs. 1152 SPs & 800MHz). Unlike last generation, you don't need to be some sort of Jedi to extract the PS4's potential here. The Xbox One and PS4 architectures are quite similar, Sony just has more hardware under the hood. We’ll have to wait and see how this hardware delta gets exposed in games over time, but the gap is definitely there. The funny thing about game consoles is that it’s usually the lowest common denominator that determines the bulk of the experience across all platforms.
On the plus side, the Xbox One should enjoy better power/thermal characteristics compared to the PlayStation 4. Even compared to the Xbox 360 we should see improvement in many use cases thanks to modern power management techniques.
Differences in the memory subsytems also gives us some insight into each approach to the next-gen consoles. Microsoft opted for embedded SRAM + DDR3, while Sony went for a very fast GDDR5 memory interface. Sony’s approach (especially when combined with a beefier GPU) is exactly what you’d build if you wanted to give game developers the fastest hardware. Microsoft’s approach on the other hand looks a little more broad. The Xbox One still gives game developers a significant performance boost over the previous generation, but also attempts to widen the audience for the console. It’s a risky strategy for sure, especially given the similarities in the underlying architectures between the Xbox One and PS4. If the market for high-end game consoles has already hit its peak, then Microsoft’s approach is likely the right one from a business standpoint. If the market for dedicated high-end game consoles hasn’t peaked however, Microsoft will have to rely even more on the Kinect experience, TV integration and its exclusive franchises to compete.
I didn't say it... Anand Lal Shimpi said it.
-
Bob,
I self post that anandtech article, i self say from a technical standpoint the PS4 is actually more powerful than the Xbox One. My statement sir had nothing to do with hardware....
Both systems are basically the same thing with the PS4 approach most likely being more raw power in the end, is like AMD vs Nvidia, amd usually has more raw power, but Nvidia's driver and game optimization and SLI scaling way better.
But my statement as to the capabilities of both consoles is solely software centric. The PS4 can play pretty games, so can the xbox, but the xbox can do alot more, i.e. With it's entertainment feature-set, windows 8 features, kinect, etc. Weather you use, want, or need that, at the end of the day, u getting more capabilities, at, what im guessing will be, the same price-point.
So once MS delivers on the games, they have a winning formula all-round. PS4 betters have much more exclusive content than MS, because if at the end of the day, u seeing the same games on both consoles, and it boil down to:
Halo / Gears vs Uncharted / Infamous, then Xbox One combined with all the extra things it can do, will be the better marph.
-
Your opinion of course. I tend to be a bit more objective.
We shall revisit this debate after E3.
If just for your sake alone...they better knock it out the box.
I don't have to tell you what will happen if they don't. :)
-
Arc, take note, these are the consoles i have owned :
NES, Nintendo 64, Wii.
Playstation, PS2, PS3.
I've never owned an xbox........nor 360......it have a reason for that.
No fanboysim involved in my opinion here. Just Logic.
Plain and simple, i dont like halo, and gears of war alone was not enough to sell the console to me.
I much rather ratchet series, jack and daxter series, uncharted series, god of war series. So personally i mite still go PS4 for those said games. But from an unbiased view, the xbox one at this point is the superior product.
Like i say, if sony drop the ball, and both consoles have basically the same games sans a select few exclusives, then i think they in trouble. If sony some how dramatically outshines MS in the games department, then one can aruge, more/better games > features offered by Xbox One.
Either way, E3 is where it's at. No reason to bash sony or MS until then.
-
But from an unbiased view, the xbox one at this point is the superior product.
Nice try, but you of all people...the biggest proponent of all things Windows, and by extension Microsoft,
don't suddenly get to hide behind the words 'unbiased', and 'logic' when it suits you.
'Superior product' is highly subjective. Unfortunately, the majority of the internet doesn't agree with you.
How is it that Microsoft could end up selling more WiiU (http://wiiudaily.com/2013/05/wii-u-sales-increase-in-uk/) than Nintendo ever could? (the comments in that article are comedy GOLD :laughing7: )
I like your 'logic'.

I guess refusing to buy a MS product and buying the competitors product for 2 consecutive generations and still leaning towards buying sony product for another generation qualifies me as being biased towards Microsoft -> confused look goes here <-
But it have no "opinion" involved here, facts is fact, and fact is, xbox one can do many things ps4 cant. and ps4 cant do anything xbox one cant. Those are facts buddy -> confused look here <-
And as the 360 outsold the ps3, so to, and maybe even more so, the xbox one will outsell the ps4.
*this comment comming from somebody who still may very well chose the ps4 over xbox provided sony delivers its tried and ture superior exclusive content* but based on the last sale figures compariosn, developers could very well jump ship and MS come out to lash at e3.
So for the third time, E3 is where it's at.
Write it off as a fanboy rant if u will, but i dont own and never did own an xbox/360 and currently freaking uncarted 2 on my ps3
->confused looks goes here<- lol.

facts is fact, and fact is, xbox one can do many things ps4 cant. and ps4 cant do anything xbox one cant. Those are facts buddy -> confused look here <-

1. Full body motion tracking
2. Skype
3. Ability to independently upgrade software on device without requiring full firmware/os update due to segregated game and apps os
4. Hdmi pass through for simultaneous / alt tab viewing of tv/games
5. Snapped viewing of apps/ games (useful for snapped Skype videos whiles playing co-op) on big screen
6. Voice/motion controlled UI
7. Variety of windows apps made possible by the running of the windows NT kernel.
8. Force feedback triggers allowing for better experience in shooters / racers
9. Ability to use Xbox to replace TiVo devices with digital access to cable channels via Kinect commands with intelligent channel detection (say "watch hbo" and the Xbox will change to the appropriate channel on your cable box"
.....just to name a few.
And! Since the hardware between both are similar, the Xbox one will also be capable of the same graphical prowess in games as the PS4.
So like I said, if Sony don't have a killer "Exclusive" lineup, what's the point?
Any other questions?
-
Must admit (strange as it sounds) that I am in complete agreement with Messiaah on this one.
(https://securecdn.disqus.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/501/3262/original.jpg)
On a side note, very confused as to how Microsoft could cause an 800%+ increase in Wii U sales in the UK by revealing the xbox one.
That makes no sense at all, as if the presentation some how brought Nintendo back from the dead.
(http://i.minus.com/iVTT7iHZ0KMgK.gif)
-
800% increase on all 4 units sold is just 32 consoles sold.
Numbers are all relative.
Ive always hated Sony for taking away the ability to run full linux builds on their console. To me, that was a significant advantage over the competition at that time and even now.
Out of that list that messiah posted, the ones I like are hdmi passthrough, full body motion tracking and running of windows apps.
All those other things (IMO!!!) are straight up gimmicks and or are "better" based on perception.
That said, ps4 really hadda come good if they want to push ahead. Halo and kinect alone seem to be strong selling points for ms.
-
1. Full body motion tracking You 'got' me there.
2. Skype M$ does own Skype now. Moot point.
3. Ability to independently upgrade software on device without requiring full firmware/os update due to segregated game and apps os Nice, but so what?
4. Hdmi pass through for simultaneous / alt tab viewing of tv/games I can do this now by switching inputs with my TV remote
5. Snapped viewing of apps/ games (useful for snapped Skype videos whiles playing co-op) on big screen ...because I really need to be doing so much other stuff instead of concentrating on the game I'm playing
6. Voice/motion controlled UI Nice to have, but making it's use mandatory is not a 'pro'
7. Variety of windows apps made possible by the running of the windows NT kernel. Can't argue with that, but people have Windows PCs already. Do we really need unnecessary apps on our console?
8. Force feedback triggers allowing for better experience in shooters / racers "better experience"? Subjective
9. Ability to use Xbox to replace TiVo devices with digital access to cable channels via Kinect commands with intelligent channel detection (say "watch hbo" and the Xbox will change to the appropriate channel on your cable box" Totally irrelevant to users outside the US
.....just to name a few.
And! Since the hardware between both are similar, the Xbox one will also be capable of the same graphical prowess in games as the PS4. If developers can harness the power and capabilities of the PS4's beefier GPU, you might have to revise that statement :)
So like I said, if Sony don't have a killer "Exclusive" lineup, what's the point?
Any other questions?
You ask 'what's the point'? Have you not seen the general reaction to the Xbox One thus far?
You seem to have adopted the same attitude as M$ that somehow these 'features' are going to help sell the console.
Newsflash: it's the GAMES (the REAL 'killer apps') that are going to sell this thing.
This looks to me like another case of Microsoft trying to apply one standard to two already well established markets. Win 8 is an attempt to merge the tablet and desktop OS. This is an attempt to merge the gaming console and media hub device.
Now mind you, the XBox 360 already has some ability to do this.
However, people who don't need gaming are already buying AppleTVs, Boxees, and other media devices. These are well established and the market has been maturing. Besides that, there is no additional charge to use Netflix or Hulu+ on top of your monthly fee like there is with XBox Live.
As for me, I use my console as a gaming device. I don't need or really want Kinect. I still see no integral use for it. I don't use the media capabilities because I already have a HTPC
that does media streaming better than any console ever could.
Essentially, they are playing up the media stuff and playing down the video game stuff. But the problem is that I don't see this device expanding the market for the folks interested in media devices. There are cheaper alternatives.
Lets talk about gamers now...you know, the market that actually wants to buy the thing to play GAMES on it.
For gamers, the media stuff is decidedly secondary. I never wake up a morning and decide to use my console for Netflix.
In that nice list you put up there, you conveniently left out some other things that the XB1 could do that the PS4 (possibly) can't, namely...
10. Games are now to be locked to your account. There goes the used games market. There goes the ability to borrow a game at your leisure to 'try out'
and decide if you want to buy it. I've lost track of the amount of console titles I've borrowed and sold over the years, many times to buy other games, new and used.
11. Always on. Not everyone likes the idea of a console that's connected to the internet, with a camera and microphone, sitting in their rooms, 'watching' them.
(I didn't even know this was an issue, but that's what reading will do for you).
12. Always online. If the Adam Orth debacle didn't clue you in to just how big of an issue this is, then nothing that I say will.
The pros and cons of this have been discussed ad nauseam. It's a bad strategy. No one likes it...well except M$ and EA.
There goes a huge swath of gamers who don't have access to a persistent, reliable internet connection, and depending on location, none at all.
You see 10. and 12.? Those two points overshadow the first 9. You've seen the reactions yourself.
Yet you're going to sit there and tell me...based on 'logic', that this console is 'superior'. Just because YOU say so? It don't work like that 'bro'.
All the Xb1 have on PS4 right now is Kinect, and superior high-polygon dog tech. :lol:
AFTER E3, it is US, the GAMERS (not YOU), who will decide which console is superior...and not a MOMENT before, because right now, M$ on thin ice.

Arc, it is a given that MS is going to score in the hard core games department
I doubt people expect them to have to "prove" that at this stage of the game. It should be de facto and understood.
(http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/481525_603800826311807_1052402207_n.png)
It is ironic that MS is getting a lot of flack for always online and attaching games to a user account.
This has been well entrenched on the PC and is now status quo. Blizzard/Activision does it, EA does it, Steam does it....
Where was the revolt....(tumble weeds).....there was none. Gamers still bought Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3 and countless other games that were "locked down" by this very method.
So now the consoles have gotten in on the action. It makes complete business sense. It prevents piracy (primarily) and also puts a bullet in the head of the grey market (used games) which has always been a bane to the industry.
Win win.
At the end of the day, we should want the industry as a whole to thrive. Let us not forget how many great gaming companies have died in recent years. Last (and surely not least) of which was THQ, makers of my beloved WarHammer.
Cut 'em some slack.
/me will be buying an XBOX One (God willing)
hahhaha @ awesome. Good point wrt nintendo sales figures.
And I don't know bout you arc, but having one less remote to interfere with in my household would be sweet....as well as replacing my HTPC with a console.
It is stupid that I have a wii, ps3 and 360 in my media center right next to my TV and still need a PC to just watch some videos. Each of those boxes have enough horse power to do the deed. Hell, even the original XBOX (not to be confused with Xbox One) could be used as an HTPC with the venerable XBMC software.
If they drop an XBMC app for the XBOX ONE it is gg wp no re
I can guarantee you that the Microsoft console will be the one on 99% of the time. No HDMI switching or anything.
XBOX show Food Network. XBOX show Attack on Titan Xbox Show TV6. lol
Unfortunately, I heard where that feature may be only available in the US. :(

Arc, it doesn't matter if u use, want, or need d features I listed, the bottom line is, they exist on Xbox and don't on ps4.
My statements are 100% true, thenxbox one can do many things d PS4 CANT!
And I also added, IF!!!! Sony don't bring a superior Exclusive line up, tell me what's d point as a consumer, as a gamer, to get a console that does less playing d same dam games, looking d same dam way.....?
To me it makes no sense at all and your comments seems biased against ms cause we all know you're an ms hater.
D ps4 has d potential to squeeze out more graphics but is up to the developers to decide if they going to do that. Are they going to now add PC like graphic options to d ps4 version of d game to take advantage of a marginal power increase? I highly doubt that. Games on Xbox One and PS4 will look virtually d same, sans a few textures here and there.
I also said E3 will decide, but clearly u are deciding from all now, which makes no sense because E3 is where it go be.
All d "gamers" who upset, if when e3 reach MS have more Exclusive games than PS4 what u think they go do?
Also, Kinect controlled UI is not mandatory, u can use d Xbox controller .......
Its....an option.......cant argue with having more......
As far as your 10-12 I refer u to Wyatt's post, the companies on pc who did that make big money, watching industry trends its a successful business strategy, despite your opinion. Hell, even one of d games u does freak on pc, dirt, is tied to my single account, I eh hear u complaining. All seems like MS hate to me. And always online is not clear at the moment, I heard d console just needs to connect to the net once ah day, hell we don't even know if that much is true cause MS still hadda clarify.
Also d snapped viewing of apps is not just for Skype, picture having a walkthrough pinned whiles trying to complete d level in said game. D sky is d limit, use d features or don't, point is they are there. All optional.
So if Xbox one can do all that and still play d same games looking d same way, then.............again....what's the point.
And yes I see d overreaction of the internet, and once ms delivers at e3 it wont matter. Just like MS doing just fine with windows 8 , same way they going to do just fine, even more so, with Xbox one, and Xbox one is a completely different monster. It has a dramatically higher chance of succeeding than windows 8.
And I Still! Mite buy a ps4 instead cause I don't like halo.....loll. E3 will tell.
Btw, E3 is less than a month away, not much of a wait to see what both companies bring.

I draw everyone's attention to the launch of the original Xbox, the entire world laughed at MS, all PlayStation fans cuss them, said they wouldn't succeed, said ms don't belong, ms d'oh know what dey doing, the original Xbox struggled initially because of it. But today MS has the most successful console on the market.
Don't underestimate uncle bill. Now again the richest bastard in the world because of Microsoft's recent success....

Arc, it doesn't matter if u use, want, or need d features I listed, the bottom line is, they exist on Xbox and don't on ps4.
My statements are 100% true, thenxbox one can do many things d PS4 CANT!
And I also added, IF!!!! Sony don't bring a superior Exclusive line up, tell me what's d point as a consumer, as a gamer, to get a console that does less playing d same dam games, looking d same dam way.....?
To me it makes no sense at all and your comments seems biased against ms cause we all know you're an ms hater.

You make a lot of convenient conjecture, without having seen what the PS4 is fully capable of. Some of that is Sony's fault I guess. Their initial reveal focused a lot more on games.
Funny thing is, you've also clearly made your mind up about which one is 'superior'. Not so? I thought we waiting for E3? :lol:
...and 'we' all know that I'm a 'ms hater'? :lol: Who exactly is 'we'?
I'm the one with the Xbox 360 (in fact I bought TWO) and THREE copies of Windows 8...despite my acerbic criticisms of certain things.
I'm using a Windows 8 PC to respond to you right now. How ironic is that? :)
You should be the last one to use the word 'biased', but I realise 'objectivity' is a hard concept for you to grapple with.
I will criticise Sony the SAME way if something comes to light that I might consider unsavoury. Will you then call me a 'Sony hater' too? :)
Sony STILL dodging the used games issue, but the scrutiny, and by extension, the heat (and criticism), is now squarely on M$. Like it or not.
Criticism is just that, my friend. I have no time for 'hate'. Too much games out dey to play.
-
Ok,
And yes from a capabilities standpoint d Xbox one is superior, Sony not magically going to unveil more features at e3 only games. So yes from a feature set standpoint Xbox one > ps4.
But if the ps4 have more better exclusives, them to core gamers additional features and capabilities wont matter.
And we both study the tech behind both consoles, you very well know from a games standpoint the Xbox and ps4 will be the same.
Why I said is MS hate is d fact that I had cause to list the obvious to you, but if you say it aint, then I go take your word for it.
As a pc gamer / enthusiast, it really don't matter to me what the additional capability of the Xbox are, cause I personally wont be using them. But they are there....and many ppl will be using them.
Wyatt raise a good point about xbmc app, if that come to light, then an Xbox One as d Central device in d living room is GG.
Tech is tech, I don't have to wait till e3 to know from a tech/feature standpoint which better. What I have to wait till E3 to see is who have more/better Exclusive games. Which you seem to think MS not capable of delivering because of they focus on entertainment as well.
Like Wyatt said, if we think MS not going to deliver in d games department then.....,
I think both ms and Sony going to deliver, what I not sure about is if sony's lead in exclusives going to continue into the next gen, like it has in gen one and gen 2.

Real hard lol @ that original xbox reveal photo.
Count me as one of the people who expected Microsoft to fall flat on their face with that console debut.
They sure proved me wrong.

Xbox One thrashed by PS4 in GameSpot's global Twitter poll
http://crave.cnet.co.uk/gamesgear/xbox-one-thrashed-by-ps4-in-gamespots-global-twitter-poll-50011308/
Another poll being done by in, results from that due on the 30th May. Still early in the poll and results may or may not differ post e3. But so far... I think what we can take from this so far is gamers don't give a rats arse about all the gimmicks, they want games and features that will enhance the gaming experience. But like I said it's still early, let's see what sony does come e3.
-
I quote from that same link:
"Many of the tweets in favour of the PS4 point to its specs being superior, with stats such as "system memory bandwidth" and "peak shader throughput" supposedly much better on Sony's beast. Most analyses after the Xbox launch agreed, giving the PS4 the edge thanks to a more advanced type of RAM.
That's all well and good, but it doesn't necessarily mean better games. The PS3's Cell processor was demonstrably superior to the Xbox 360's innards, but gamers plumped for the latter because its exclusive games -- such as Halo and Gears of War -- were more appealing.
Nevertheless, Microsoft seems to have dropped a massive clanger by focusing on the Xbox One's TV capabilities instead of games, in contrast to Sony. The people who give a new console buzz are the ones who care the most about games, and Microsoft seems to have been slightly dismissive of them, serving up foregone conclusions like Call of Duty and FIFA.
That may all change when the gargantuan games show E3 opens next month, where Sony and Microsoft will reveal all the launch titles and let the press get their jittery hands on the new kit. If the Xbox One has much better exclusives than the PS4, it's game on.
"
And the original Xbox had less popularity than even that poll, guess who won?
E3 will tell.

Yup ps2 won and it continues to be the most successful console to date with over 150million units sold worldwide. http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/
Even if we look at current gen xbox360 and ps3 are neck and neck with about 77millions units sold each. So Microsoft hasn't won this gen yet either
Anyway another look at the polls after e3 will give us a better picture. But u must admit them numbers not looking good for the xbox1

Yes ps2 was immensely successful, but Xbox 360 won in the end.
That's the way MS does everything, they don't be running a sprint, they does be running a marathon.
And post E3 we go check out d polls again, but ultimately is holiday sales that go paint a better picture
-
I edited my post to show 360 vs ps3 sales, can't edit as quickly as I can on this phone grrr. But Yeh, sales are neck and neck despite the ps3 being released 1 year later. Sure the 360 was successful.. Very successful, but let's not jump the gun and say they won just yet.
Edit: and oh let's not forget that it was the wii that won hehe

You're right Wii pwn them loll.
And yes Xbox OG sales were abysmal, but that's MS now entering the console market for the first time. But like I said is not a sprint for them is a marathon, and they went from abysmal sales to matching Sony in just one iteration of their platform. And that in itself is impressive.
And now that they have a strong user base, anything more at this point will matter alot. And the X-1 is just that, "more", so again we go see at E3
And many consider the Xbox 360 is the winner this rounds, especially given the fact they made alot more money off they platform. And Sony's recent security breach didn't help matters either.
It amazing how Nintendo Dominate the sales and still release such a technologically inferior device. Ah well, we'll see how it turns out.

Microsoft details how Xbox One cloud servers will tackle processor-intensive gaming chores
By Steve Dent posted May 24th, 2013 at 2:29 AM 328
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/05/xbox-one-cloud-05-24-13-01.jpg)
One of the Xbox launch's big reveals was that Microsoft added 300,000 servers to Xbox Live, and now GM Matt Booty has detailed to Ars Technica how that'll improve game play. He said the improved cloud architecture will speed up GPU- or CPU-heavy chores that aren't dependent on latency -- like lighting or cloth dynamics -- by pre-calculating them before applying them to a scene. To make that happen, the Xbox One server cloud will provide three virtual devices for "every Xbox one available in your living room." It'll be up to game developers to manage transitions between console-only and cloud assisted graphics, though, since the first few seconds of lighting in a new scene will need to be handled by the console before servers can take over. Of course, that means many titles may look better when you're online, but he added that you'll still be able to play if the internet is cut and "the game is going to have to intelligently handle that."
-
The clincher here is that the Wii won.
I'm certain the Wii would have lost in every gamer poll on the planet....yet it scored at retail.
Why? Because the people snapping up the Wii don't even know what processor is in it....let alone the speed of the ram. They surely aren't running off to vote on any polls either.
Microsoft knows they have a huge market that they can expand into which will give them the edge over the PS4 in terms of sales.
Those people understand simple things.....like TV.
I am not gonna bet against their strategy at all. Can't wait to see how it pans out.
Of course the Wii had a price point that was tough to beat which was undoubtedly a huge factor in their brisk sales.
-
What i dont understand is that men saying the system is basically mana from heaven and the ps4 is not all that and neither system is out to do a proper side by side comparison.
Fact sheets are what a company says a system can be it's not until a system is out that you really know what is what
personally i always wait at least 6 months before buying any system giving them enough time to work out the release bugs and kinks.

Man says the PS4 and Xbox One are superior to gaming PCs yes. Madness.
@ Messiaah, there is a nice blurb at the end of the article that shares my opinion on the progress of the mobile market.
It should be obvious: the PC market continues to progressively advance whereas new consoles are launched every five or so years. If anything, it's the mobile industry that the PC and console sectors should be worried about, as its advancement slope if by far a lot steeper than the PC segment.

TW...take a read of this... http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/the-guns-of-navarro-microsoft-s-one-track-mind/1100-4648/
I won't ask Messiaah to read it, because his mind is more or less made up already.
I think this writer captures the psychology that lies at the root of the backlash.
See this part...
As bad as Microsoft's messaging was, it was especially fatal given the overall tone and tenor of the event--one of absolute, unflappable confidence. Again, as much as you might not have liked the content of the Microsoft presentation, its laserlike focus on the features it believed were most important to the mainstream audience felt consistent with a company that acted like it had nothing to prove. Even Don Mattrick, who has often presented a stiffer, less slick stage presence to previously over-groomed executives like J Allard, seemed completely in his element. Microsoft was talking like a company that felt it had all the momentum going into E3, and foresaw no scenario in which that would change, thanks to its various new innovations.
...yeah, it's something that I hinted at in the Windows 8 thread. That overconfidence and almost singular lack of consideration for what consumers want.
M$ seems to have the attitude of late that speaks to a desire to tell us consumers 'THIS is what you want, and you'll like it too.'
Who doh hear, does feel.

Arc, at d end of d day if they still making they money you feel them care?
If MS knocks it out the park at E3, it wouldn't even matter, everybody buying d same Xbox, just like you using d same windows 8. MS may be overconfident, but so far it eh slow Dem down, they still making a mint, so u mite call it overconfidence, they call it a winning strategy.
Since the launch of the Xbox MS said they want to take over the living room, and that's exactly what they doing.
At d end of d day if it works, they don't care what the internet says because is them same ppl going to buy d same products they cussing.
But like I said, once they bring games at E3, gamers should have nothing to complain about.
I don't care if MS came on stage and played dance dance Central for d whole conference, if at d end of d day I can get my games on the box, that's all that matters to me. If they have no games then Xbox One = Fail.
If they have d games, conference , arrogance, overconfidence, a host of tv and entertainment features, who cares?
Now let me put another spanner in the works, for all d exclusives Sony have, watch the sale figures comparison, this is why MS don't give a hoot and pushing their entertainment agenda, cause they know ppl going to buy they shit:
Xbox
Halo 3 : 11.77m
Halo 4 : 8.26m
Halo Reach : 9.43m
Gears 3 :5.9m
Gears 2 : 6.62m
Gears 1 : 6.0m
Fable 2 : 4.12m
Fable 3 : 4.92
PlayStation
Uncharted 3 : 5.8m
Uncharted 2 : 6.18m
Uncharted : 4.57m
Killzone 3 : 2.46m
Killzone 2 : 2.9
Killzone : 0.94
Infamous : 2.61m
Infamous 2 : 1.57m
Those numbers are self explanatory. And we all know there is going to be a kickass halo on the X-1.

Sadly, you might be right, and that's what concerns me.

can we all just put this aside till AFTER E3 then y'all can start back up? :D :D the event aint that far away
-
Great read over at that article arc.
It touches on both sides of the equation.
This paragraph from it is basically sharing my sentiment on the issue.
Some of the anger toward Microsoft's event is genuinely unwarranted, specifically because the company had been quite up-front about the fact that this conference was for a broader, mainstream audience. The event the core audience was hoping for, the one with lots of games and less talk about ancillary things like TV signals and NFL partnerships, would be coming at E3.
And this article speaks to the future of gaming consoles
http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/xbox-one-gaming/
Again, I agree
-
can we all just put this aside till AFTER E3 then y'all can start back up? :D :D the event aint that far away
Why is it that some of you are so averse to discussion?
Allyuh fraid Messiaah so much that no one wants to chime in? :laughing7:
It can't be me and TWyatt alone man, come on.
I want to hear more people views about this thing man.

^^ yuh know, lolol.
@wyatt, I agree with that as well, from up front MS tell ppl what to expect from this one.
And d fact they did it so close to E3 was good too, because people don't have long to wait to see s second half of they conference.
What go be interesting though is if Sony going to show back d same thing they already show, or if they some how have more new games to show. What if Sony already lay d cards on d table and have nothing new for E3?
And should we be having this convo here or in d E3 thread?
-
lol @ averse to discussion
Reaper, I am sure E3 will bring a lot more fodder to the fore for discussion but we have quite a bit to chew on right now (as is evident)
The internet is livid with activity since the reveal. This is the coming of the next generation after all. Men must be anxious after waiting 7 - 8 years for it to happen.

Will the Xbox One Automate Your House?
May 28, 2013 | By Microsoft News
In a recent interview, Marc Whitten, Microsoft’s chief production officer of interactive entertainment, talked about the future of the Xbox One. He shared his vision for a platform he calls Home 2.o, a service that will become the hub for all your interconnected devices. While Whitten notes this is still 3 – 5 years down the line, he imagines that Home 2.0 will allow the One to be more than an entertainment device for your living room….
source (http://microsoft-news.com/will-the-xbox-one-automate-your-house/)
Also, another thing to throw in the pot.
I'd argue that MS has been leading the way for innovation in the gaming industry since the launch of the Xbox OG and Sony has been basically following. For e.g. you only get Playstation Plus after MS pioneered Xbox Live.
And i'd argue that all the entertainment features MS touting now, will be eventually adopted by sony as well. Netflix for instance is a highly used app on playstaion.
-
I had real high hopes for digital homes with the advent of the x10 line of cheap home automation kits and both google and microsoft entering the digital energy metering game. Never quite caught on and both Microsoft and Google have since abandoned their efforts in the metering business.
Still, nice to see it is still on the radar.

Surprising? Not in the least. :|
-
Two things.
1. I think that article making it sound worse than it really is.
2. Sad thing is, MS is right, people will buy anything. They still buy the s line of apple products in droves even though is d same dam device, and ppl will spend full retail on that. Xbox is in the same place I think and people will still buy it regardless. But like I said, personally I don't care about MS attitude once I get d games. And in saying that MS does have a point. Because once they bring d games, d core gamers will know about it and buy d system. And for all d non core gamers, they pushing entertainment. A win win.

still a better reveal than the xbox one
(old april fools joke but still funny, lol)
-
Just a reminder on Microsoft and marketing. X1 was revealed just like the rest, all with features we originally didn't really understand at the time, or think we cared about or needed. Online on console? wah? Connected with my friends? they right up the road.
(Can start at 1:50 for 360 reveal)
http://youtu.be/8Tn5PTs6TXs
SAME thing for 360 reveal. Words like "Entertainment" and "World of experiences" and "customized" - things we essentially didn't really think we needed or cared about in 2005. All we wanted was games. Wireless controllers were frowned on because of previous 3rd party ones with input lag issues.
Its hilarious how the new Kinect is making people jumpy, when it was the SAME reaction people had to ipad 2's front camera with men putting tape on the front and wanting a "security" light. It even have sites that could "disable" the camera or remove it for you
http://www.ifixyouri.com/ipad-2-repair/359-ipad-2-front-camera-removal-service.html
Right now its a pretty damn dangerous time for the game industry. AAA titles alone is not going to cut it if you want to see more AAA games. They just not selling (give or take a few) at the numbers we need to generate to make MORE AAA titles. We need another medium to drive and help finance the games. I've been at the top of the world in terms of gaming sales success to the crappiest places where we fail abysmally.
I understand we always want more, but I think trashing something in games at the moment without having all the facts or knowing what we are buying is silly. If what we saw at BOTH reveals was the info we had to walk into a store with when buying the console I could totally understand confusion. But that is not the case.
We have a LOT of months ahead before the consoles are out. I think we should spend the time realizing how fucking awesome launches and new platforms are and where we could go with that. Hell I'm excited.
-
Well said shiv, is like I does always say, MS don't be watching 2-3 years ahead, men does be watching 10-15 years down d road, PlayStation plus wouldn't exist today if MS didn't pioneer Xbox Live.
MS does be in it for d long haul, more vision, takes more risks, they does rarely take the "safe" road. And history has proven that it works for them in the end, sans d bumps in the road along the way.
At the end of the X1 lifecycle, entertainment features will be the defacto standard for all consoles.

As far as tracking what shows you're interested in and tailoring content to you, gmail has been doing that for years and people don't seem to mind. Having said that, MS currently tracks usage in zune/xbox music to recommend artists to u based on what u listen to most, but u can disable the feature if u want. So im sure there will be a disable switch on the xbox one for ppl who don't want that, since the tracking features is part of your Live profile and not the xbox itself. Of cause most people wont know to go in their profile and take that off lol.
So I wouldn't say that's a "massive shitbomb"
-
Ah Messiaah. That's the rub.
If there is some truth to it....like you just said....the competition will leverage that to make a stink bomb against the xbox one.
Incidentally, I overheard a 14 year old kid yesterday saying he was going to buy a PS4. Curious...I asked why not the xbox one?
He cited the always online issue as well as the inability to play used games.
The negative press is already starting to have an impact on customers and influencing their buying decisions.
He is just one kid but still, I think MS needs to change the story around fast.
E3 can't come soon enough.
-
Funny you mention 14 year old.
I doing a migration for a school right now, and students was cycling in and out of the i.t. lab.
7-8 year olds, when they see my Surface they was like, "WOW, COOL, is that the new Microsoft Tablet, hey guys looks, its the Microsoft tablet" "wooowww", etc etc lol.
And whiles walking through the school with it, various teahers was asking me if it's good because their kids asking them for one.
I tell that little tale to say that marketing is extremely important, and MS clearly doing something right in the marketing department, if 7-8 year olds know what the surface is and want it. So I think MS will be just fine with the xbox one. If they bring the games at e3, u know they going to market the xbox one HARD. and their marketing efforts in the US is going to trump the playstation. So for right now MS taking a hit for their conference, but once they bring d games at e3, and market it, that same 14 year old will be buying an xbox one.
MS internet target is to own the majority of the Windows Tablet market with surface products in the next few months, and they plant o maintain a market share lead over all their OEMs. And I already seeing evidence of that based on their marketing campaign.
It's amazing the effect the media has on the success or failure of a product. And yes MS needs to change the perception of the Xbox One FAST!, which is why I think they wait right before E3 to do this.
So they soon going to spin things around, they already release a few statements (as I posted in d video above), to try weather the tide until E3.
The good thing is, PS4 not available for sale, nor will it be anytime soon, MS have time to organize they business.
-
Also and this is as best as I know TnT is a PS dominated market. There are 'more' PS3 owners than Xbox 360 owners and custom is to stick to what you know. So the PSfanboys will be inclined to stick to the PS4 and the Xbox etc. I for one being a seasoned gamer will wait to see which platform offers me what I want and need, but truth is for those trinis that saying I buying X because of Y when X and Y are drops in the ocean aka NO REAL INFORMATION in hand I just doh take it on and definitely doh take on no lil chirren, cause is the parents that have to buy it.
Suppose Xbox 1 @ E3 give parents via glass complete visibility into what is going on the console (just hypothetical) and they SELL this to parents wanting to have some control over the content their children have access to, anytime, anywhere, wouldn't that be a selling point to parents that utlimately have the final say? This is just a single example do don't jump on the 'chirren does decided for parents motif' Point is until E3 all the banter is just useless. And all the talk about negative image, what's the cliche saying? There is NO bad publicity?
-
Good points W1nTry, it's exactly why the Wii dramatically outsold ps3/xbox 360.
Not because of hard core gamers. Is because parents see it advertising and it appeal to them to buy it for their kids. The casual market / parents is not to be underestimated. If MS win that market and still provide hard core games, boy, is GG no Re.

For a 6 - 8 year old...the parent will no doubt make the call on which console to buy.
Not so for a 14 - 15 year old.
He will get what he wants or there will be hell to pay.
Take it from a father of one.
I guarantee you that kid in question will get a PS4 and I can also guarantee you his parents won't be watching E3 either.
W1ntry is right on one point for certain, Trinidad is PS3 country. Probably by a factor of 10 to 1.
Lots of reasons why Microsoft lost the battle here in our twin island republic (which maybe a discussion for another thread) so they will have their work cut out for them trying to sway trini public opinion in their favor.
I'm certain if E3 changes the story around they will be a huge hit in the states and that is where the $$ really is either way.
-
Hell to pay? unless my son buying the console with his own money he wok for, he will get what I buy for him, Period.
That's how it was for me, that's how it going be for he, gg no re. lol
In regards to the trini market, yes, ms don't really care, trini is a blackberry dominated market, but blackberry still dropping dramatically. US and UK is where the big money is for tech and entertainment.

Yea boy Wyatt, I didn't realize Nintendo was blazing d trail that hard, and here I was worried about Nintendo, men saying MS should buy them out, etc etc etc, when truth and in fact Nintendo is doing just fine loll. Now picture if MS manage to replicate that success in d casual market and still retain hardcore...
I juss hope Nintendo don't wait too long to release a wow worthy system, funny thing is ill buy every Nintendo system until then regardless. Once I have meh Zelda on it. Last 2 Mario galaxies got perfect 10s across the board and I hear another one of those at E3. Skyward sword got 10s as well, and smash bros Expected too. Say what you want bout Nintendo, they know how to make money and they know how to make games.

No argument there

I think this needs to be reposted in this thread (Extracted from PS4 Thread):
Well, not long to wait now, 1 week and we go see if kaz have to eat he words, or if he going to fart in ballmer face.
Rumor has it that we may be seeing a Killer Instincts title at the MS E3 press conference, if that happens is GG for me. Never bought an xbox, but I sure as hell buying one if an HD killer hit d scene. I trying not to get too excited incase it eh happen....
no doubt, an HD Killer Instict would be gaming gold.

Xbox One Shooter ‘TitanFall’ Leaked; Cloud Gaming Details Revealed
(http://microsoft-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/bXp238Z-620x300.jpg)
The July issue of Game Informer seems to have been released a little early with information regarding an Xbox One mech-shooter TitanFall inside of it. NeoGAF member Catman86, who received an early copy of the magazine, summarized highlights from the article:
- Xbox One, PC <- I like this part
- Xbox 360 version developed by someone else
- Planned to target current gen, but realized that they couldn’t run it
- Started to look into next gen and the answer they got from Microsoft intrigued them
- They said they needed to focus on fewer hardware. In the future they are open to more.
- Plan to use Microsoft’s Cloud for dedicated servers and physics and AI calculations
- Spring 2014 Release Date
- Source Engine. Building new engine = too much time.
- Source gives them 60 fps
- Modified Source
- “Rewriting major portions of it”.
- Going for a District 9 or Blade Runner vibe.
- Integrate memorable single player moments into a multiplayer game.
- Progression system. No details yet
-Smartglass Integration
-Some level on Kinect Integration
So it is interesting to note that the game will use Microsoft’s cloud to for dedicated servers and physics and AI calculations.

Ent? *high five*
It looking more and more like I might be spending more money on mih PC this year after all, yes.
Man.....not even Halo 5 and 6 could remove the sour taste of what is taking shape with this console. :(
My brother is buying one for sure. He get rope een long time by M$ 'three-screen' philosophy (W8, WP8, Xbox),
so I *might* just end playing game on his Xbone (hilarious :laughing7: ).
-
Well we all know I get rope in long time with d 3 screen vision, but that xbone as you put it go stay right there, (sans a good killer instincts). If I could put xbmc on Xbox one I mite get it as a media hub in d living room though.
On another note, it does feel so fulfilling when epic games coming out to take advantage of the power of d pc wit d amount of money I throw t it. :)

Xbone?

^^ Yikes.
Best quote from the Polygon, article...and the best comparison of the PC platform to the Xbone I've seen thus far...
Some commentators have compared the Xbox One's internet-connection and used-game policies to PC gaming. And sure, the Xbox One does appear to share the worst parts of PC gaming: obtrusive DRM from AAA publishers; complex if not impossible methods for sharing games; the need for an internet connection to play some games, connect to some digital merchants and ping some third-party servers.
But the Xbox One policy doesn't share the good aspects of PC gaming. PC games can be given away by developers. PC games can be sold without DRM. There are alternative retailers, allowing the consumer to choose where he or she buys from. And because there is choice, there is competition, and because there is competition, there is competitive pricing.
On PC, you can "donate" to the Humble Bundle and choose precise amounts of cash to award a game's creator. On PC, you can play alpha builds of games that are months if not years from completion, and participate in some capacity in that game's development. On PC, publishers are free to do all of the awful things offered by the Xbox One. But they're also free to do things that are responsible and consumer-friendly.
One additional thing that doesn't pertain to Xbox One's policy per se, but the system itself. A PC is compatible with a massive catalogue of over two decades' worth of games. An Xbox One is not. Never have the words fresh start sounded so awful.
Xbox One's policy, as it stands, includes all of the burdensome aspects of PC gaming and none of the best.

Battlefield 4 looks Astounding on the XBOX One. So i can image how the multiplayer WILL perform.
-
Yea, saw that teaser. It was sweet Shiv!
Agreed @ Ago and Messiaah
The $499 price point lil rough but no doubt....worth it.
-
Battlefield 4 will look even MORE astounding on the PC, but RYSE, Titanfall, Dead Rising 3, and Forza 5 look bloody fantastic.
Need to know for sure if Titanfall is a Xbone exclusive.
Needed to see some Halo gameplay though. Pre-rendered trailers not cutting it anymore.
I see Killer Instinct is making a well-timed comeback. Not a fan, but I can understand the excitement.
For what it 'does', $499 US 'seems' fair, but with all the limitations...not so much.
Seems like M$ 'redeemed' themselves somewhat. The games definitely are there, but they still didn't fully address some of the hot-button concerns a lot of potential buyers have.
Your move Sony.

Absolutely agreed @ the games.
Same thing we were saying all the time. Microsoft would never have dropped the ball on some killer titles (pun intended)
I am still stoked at Titan Fall. Watched that trailer a second time.
Definitely what I've been looking for since Battlefield 2142 and Mech Warrior left me high and dry
Removal of the 100 person limit on xbox live friends!
One gold account allows everyone at home to play online....(not just the user's account to which the Gold privilege was attached)

Titanfall Gameplay
BOOM! dude, this is going to look spectacular on pc. Please plase please be on PC too.

O and 2 free games for gold subscribers per month is nice too, trying to bring some of the PS Plus love over, and i hear gta 5 will be one of those free games.
-
The use of kinect and smartglass this time around seems alot less gimicky.
The fact that you can start a multiplayer killer match whiles playing an adventure game, then autopause, alt-tab and continue is epic. I know we can do this on PC, but some games not compatible with doing that due to how it accesses the gpu. If MS could do this across the board with all xbox games, it kinda impressive:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y46XsAH1WJ8

MS has definitely brought the noise!

The Twitch TV integration is epic, very very smooth

I'm pretty sure they are going to do some ip address checking just like they did with certain dlc packs. I'm feeling this has to do with their cloud computing, they need to have a server in a close proximity to lower latencies.

Interesting read
Also, it seems things are being cleared up with regard to sharing games, as it appears you will be allowed to have 10 people within your "family" group share your entire game library, no matter where they are and on their own Xbox One, as long as they are part of your "family" which is a loose term that can refer to your Live friends.

This part makes some solid sense and will have an impact on multiplayer action (my greatest concern)
The cloud servers, Zampalla said, are "dedicated servers so there’s no host advantage. The game spins up fast." No host system has to be bogged down with that grunt AI. "When that’s handled on the cloud, now it’s the same experience, it’s not lagging for you. If I’m the host, and I’m calculating AI on my box or if we’re both calculating AI on our boxes and we have different things..." That wouldn't be good. The cloud helps. To Titanfall's busy multiplayer design, perhaps it's essential.
-
I now finish watch that video, epic, family members business is truly epic. I can see many gatt members taking full advantage of that, lol.
All d men who want to lend they game, no need to send off your disc to anyone, family group, done!
As gamers this actually going to save us plenty money, a lot more money in savings than we making selling back used games for gunta price.
This sounds quite brilliant and all, but what's the deal with region lock? it all still pointless unless we can actually play the thing in d Caribbean lol.

I believe that currently, if you check region availability for Xbox 360, Trinidad and Tobago is not on that list, yet, there are people in Trinidad gaming on Xbox live everyday on Xbox 360.
I would think that this would also be the case for the Xbox One, as region lock on the 360 applies to content, such as DLC which may be locked depending on the game developer restrictions, which as of now, people in Trinidad get around by the use of VPN's. Also applies to what content is available on services like Netflix, where I believe Trinidad gets access to Venezuelan content as opposed to US content, but again, some people get around that with VPN's, depends on how desperate they are for the US content.
I think if we wait and see, more and more info will be clarified up till launch, and then there is Wyatt (AKA Guinea PIG) who will be testing out the Xbox One and giving his report...LOL
What he doesn't know is that we expect a 50 page thesis on the Xbox One when he gets it, with full illustrations and Index. LMAO...

Arc, is like i said with Windows 8, MS is not stupid, if they see it becoming a problem, they will respond.
And they change on Windows 8 combined with this complete turnaround with the Xbox One, shows that MS is listening to the consumer, and again, they are not stupid. Like me and wintry say, is uncle bill we talking bout.
He not just going to hand over customers to sony without ah fight.
The vocals usually get what they want, but im afraid in this case, it has harmed the progression of the console industry:
"These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray."
So that sexy family room feature, where 10 ppl in your "family group" can play any game any member purchase, is GONE! So to is the ability to share/sell your digital game in any form. Personally i prefer it how it was, all i wanted removed was region lock, so i can be confident my Killer Instincts will work.
So i am happy for the change to secure Killer, but i am unhappy with lossing the additional features an all digital platform would have brought. And since i hate discs, ill be buying all my games digital anyway, so apart from removal of region lock, this change aint benefiting me atal.
I guess the world was not ready for the future, MS go spoon feed consumers and gradually get them there i guess.
Xbox One Pre-Ordered!
Edit:
O and the being online every 24hrs i didnt want either, would have been fine with once a week.

They finally come to their senses. Better late than never I guess but for many, the trust is now gone. Who's to say they wouldn't try to pull something like this in the future?

Nah not serious, i glad, i can buy ah xbox at ease now. But i was really liking that family feature boy.
I was just picturing it, wyatt buy bout 5 game, and i here getting all for free :)
Ah well. And i know MS not implementing that without enforcing the 24hr check-in.
Ah well, alls well that ends well, everybody happy now.
@ Capt.
I fully expect they would try to pull something like this again in the future, but i highly doubt it will happen in the lifecycle of the Xbox One.
They will try again with the Xbox Two, and if the outcry at that time is the same as now, i fully expect them to back track again.
I dont think MS should loose anybody "trust" over this, becuase is not like men spend money on something they didnt want, and they fix it in such a short time too. If anything u should trust them more. Trust them to listen to cuss when they hear it lolol.

"The neat-sounding "family share" plan, which would let you license up to 10 Xbox Ones to play your games, iTunes-style, is also no more. You also won't be able to have your full game library travel with you."
Rasta, we loss d game library roaming too boy, big wet watery steups.
Hadda wait another 7 years to hopefully see these things boy, wayyee. Anyways, PC have dat long time.
-
The main thing people were upset about was the asinine the 24 hour check in and not being able to play any game, single or multiplayer without being connected to the internet. Microsoft took the passive aggressive route with this latest decision. They could have just removed these issues whilst maintaining a way to keep digitally sharing/reselling games as a feature but no, they chose to take their ball and go home...an equally stupid decision.
I absolutely hate physical media. It is pointless and very outdated, not to mention the fact that it is also quite fragile. As a PC gamer and avid user of steam/origin, I am thrilled to not have to deal with these wretched things called DVD's. It sucks that console noobs still have to put up with it. The ability to resell a digital copy of a game and "lend" a license to a friend for a set period of time are two things that I wish was available on Steam. If they find a way to do this regardless of platform, it would be a very good time for gamers everywhere.
-
Thing is, if MS removes the online check, the Xbox one will be open to rampant piracy if they kept all d other epic features intact. Piracy that exists on the pc today, men does rip whole steam games cracked and playable in full offline.
Piracy on PC is alto less than it used to be, but its still a big issue, online drm is d only way to stop it.
I cant really think of a middle ground whiles ensuring the Xbox one remains a solid eco system.
I open to suggestions.
-
Hmmm I hear you @ the possible piracy due to removal of online check. I mean, piracy is something you really can't kill any more than you can kill every single virus in the world. Sure, a pirate free world is ideal but lets face it...life is not ideal.
We all know piracy exists with the xbox in its present state but they've managed to keep it manageable by all accounts. I am CERTAIN there is a way to keep it in check with digital media without having this "phone home" thing every day.
In my eyes they gave up way too quickly. I mean the E3 announcement and subsequent backlash was one week ago? Within that time, how long and hard could they have thought about a better solution to the problem they facing. This was purely a panicked move, a company desperately trying to cling to its customers (and the wads of cash of course) by making hasty and unmeasured decisions. Surely, this isnt the mark of a mature organization.
-
Yet still as a result preorders rise in droves.
At d end of d day is about making money, and I'm sure they recognize that the gaming audience wasn't ready for d future they try to bring. If man happy with old thing yuh blame them for not trying harder?
PlayStation eh doing jack and watch at d positive reaction, why should MS spend more time and money putting an even more elaborate and advanced system in place to get a middle ground when customers flocking to Sony for doing nothing?
At the end of d day, I'm personally disappointed cause I want the features, but I understand and appreciate what MS had to do. I just hope that within the console life cycle they find a way to slowly reintroduce these epic features whiles finding a way to deal with piracy. Get d sales first then add features later.
I doubt they just trash they ideas, I think they put it on hold for a while. And I think for a mature company, that's d best business decision they could have made.
At least we still have all games available digital at launch. I sure as hell not buying no physical media.

Heartbroken MS employee
http://pastebin.com/TE1MWES2
The difference between the family sharing and the typical store demo is that your progress is saved as if it was the full game, and the data that was installed for that shared game doesn't need to be erased when they purchase the full game! It gave incentive to share your games among your peers, it gave games exposure, it allowed old games to still generate revenue for publishers. At the present time we're no longer going forward with it, but it is not completely off the table. It is still possible to implement this with the digital downloaded versions of games, and in fact that's the plan still as far as I'm aware.
Interesting. It is a good feature and hope they go ahead and implement it.
-
It's not just a good feature, it's arguably the best feature of the Xbox One. And i very very very much hope they go ahead with it. So everybody who onboard the Digital Bandwagon can gyrate on that family room.
The Disk-Based noobs go just suck salt.
Edit:
Just finished the article, interesting read, for one the Family Room wasn't what I expected it to be, but it still good. Anyways, I hope MS finds a way to slowly re-introduce all the features that were taken out, and gradually get people onto the new model they trying to push. Rather than just completely strip it away like they were doing before.
Now the question is, how much additional xbox controllers do I buy, nobody eh answer meh yet lol.
-

'Disk-Based noob' checking in. :hello:
I could live without that 'innovation', and just hand mih brother the disc when ah done.
"If you are willing to sell-out your consumer rights at the cost of so-called 'innovation', then you deserve neither rights, nor innovation."
That's why I'll NEVER buy an iPhone...or for that matter a windows phone. :)
-
Agreed, but sometimes the advantages out-weight the disadvantages.
Arc, tell me why it's worth it to have a disc-less system on the PC, and not on the Xbox.
Cause i highly doubt u does buy yuh games on PC on Disc. Or am i wrong?
-
But a Pc is a pc if i had to choose between plugging my pc or my console online i would go with my pc and play offline with my console. I got no problem downloading games but sometime it works out better to buy a disc than to download but is just my 2 cents
-
I hear all that, but i still want a reason why it's acceptable on the pc and not on the xbox? Saying it ok because is a PC is not a reason. By all accounts an xbox one is a pc as well. So why...?
Hell, check this quote from the same article shiv post:
"We have 48 million Xbox 360 users connected online nearly 24 hours a day. That is much more than any of our closet competitors and vastly more than Steam. "
48 million users already online 24 hrs a day on the xbox as is. (All this i'm guessing lead to them thinking the 24hr checkin woudl be ok).
So again, why men fine with PC all digital eco-system and apposed to the xbox. What's the difference?
If you currently buy you games on PC disc based then Cool, i understand that. But for the men who dont buy ah single PC disc and rocking hard digital, why they apposed to digital xbox.
-
Agreed, but sometimes the advantages out-weight the disadvantages.
Arc, tell me why it's worth it to have a disc-less system on the PC, and not on the Xbox.
Cause i highly doubt u does buy yuh games on PC on Disc. Or am i wrong?
...and therein lies the rub.
I was OK with digital downloads for the PC years ago, as I have NEVER borrowed a PC game.
I've borrowed, bought, traded, sold LOTS of console games however.
Me and my brother would regularly consult one another on which console exclusive games to by, and trade with each other.
That's the beauty, and simplicity of owning a console. Take that away completely, and for someone like me...owning that console becomes less desirable.
...and I'm actually OK with buying a game digitally, if I know that it's a game I'll probably never sell...which is why I'm so discerning about the titles I purchase on Steam. Those games I really want, or they're really cheap. :laughing7:
If M$ could have GUARANTEED that their new marketplace could function like that, then GG...go through hard, but the constant waffling on the issue didn't inspire a whole lot of confidence.
I'll say this again...the kind of 'future' M$ is envisioning is noble...but it will only work when high-speed broadband is as commonplace as electricity...or running water. We are not there yet.
In 7-10 years we shall see.
As it stands now...I am highly enthused that disc-based games remain the default standard.

Cool, ah could accept that answer.
Good thing is, both digital and disc based exist on the Xbox now.
Hope they really put back d features for d digital version of d games at least. That way u have the choice.
And in 7 years like u say, with Xbox 2, go strong.
BTW arc, ur usecase u described with ur bro could have been done with family room and digital giving of games on the Xbox one.

Except that with the "family room" his bro can only play for 1hr before he is prompted to buy the game from the marketplace. A glorified game trial if you will.

I knew that family room business had a catch. Microsoft letting 10 ppl share games restriction free? yeah right. No valuable feature has been lost if you ask me.

Yea but d game save and full game content there still, so he could in theory continue playing after. But since d feature never see d light of day, we don't really know how it would work in reality
But for men who have brother's / friends in other countries, family room is full of all kinds of win. As too is the digital giving of the game. I go spend more money sending a disc to Trinidad than it go cost to buy it new loll.
And family room was not the only advantage to be had from all digital.
But like I said, I accept arc answer, no need to remake his point, he made it well.

Understood, but hardly a groundbreaking feature and totally not what people were expecting it to be.
In the case where family is abroad as you said, they might as well download a free demo and decide if they like the game from that. Being able to save progress after an hour of gameplay does not scream innovative to me.

@madmunkie : Yes but I can also digitally give that game to my overseas bro without spending ah dime.
Cant do that with disc in my usecase.
And not all games have demos., which they should.
And the feature may not be ground breaking, but it's progress.
It had plenty times men telling me bout game on steam, and I'd have to get their steam password to check it out.
Family room solves that. Also I can have 10 ppl check it simultaneously anytime they want, and I still can play d game since I never lend them meh "disc"
Their are tons of scenarios and advantages to it. And family room is not the only one.
Pre drm recall, your game library was in the cloud. So if I gone down d road by my friend, I log into his Xbox and my full library playable, in full. Etc etc etc
Also keep in mind, this would be wave 1 of these features, with nuff room to grow. But as it stands, they were completely scrapped. And I wish to have them back eventually. Even if is one feature, more is always better than less.
But as arc pointed out, not at the expense of choice/consumers in this case.
Reintroduction gradually of these features would be win win right around d board.
-
Reading up some more.....
...and here I was...under the impression that the 10 people in your 'family' could share the FULL game...WITHOUT restrictions.
I don't think ANY publisher would have allowed M$ to get away with that. (That arrangement would have been AWESOME by the way, sans DRM).
Now I understand why DRM supporters thought that they lost such a 'great' feature. :laughing7:
I guess these new revelations takes some wind out of the 'great loss' argument.
...so basically, the 'share' was supposed to be just a glorified 'demo'...and the 'demo-er' would have had to pay for the game to continue playing...AFTER the 1 hour 'trial'. :(
How 'revolutionary'. :(
Wow...no wonder they didn't advertise THAT part of it.
:shakehead: Always a catch eh M$. Just like the so-called 'Start Button'.

Xbox One, PlayStation 4 Shatter Amazon Pre-Order Records
Xbox One and PlayStation 4 contributed to Amazon's biggest pre-order week ever, with as many as 2,500 next-gen console purchases per minute funneling through the online retailer. The week of E3, which saw PlayStation 4's hardware and Xbox One's software unveiled, saw a 4,000% increase in console purchases compared to last year's (next-gen-free) E3 week.
In addition, the day-one pre-orders for PS4 and Xbox One were "nearly two times that of all video game sales on Black Friday last year."
IGN has asked Amazon for more specifics and will update this story with any extra information it provides. If you're interested, Xbox One pre-orders are back in stock on Amazon, and PlayStation 4 pre-order bundles come in a bunch of different flavors.
@Wyatt, So much for the mobile revolution. :violent5:

Early days still.
These are the last of the mohicans.
These next gen consoles are still born as you very well know....bested by modern day PCs. It is only downhill from here.
While mobile will continue its meteoric rise well into the next decade and beyond to eclipse them both in relevance.

If that's the case, it is a great feature indeed.
I have faith that MS will if not at launch, implement it for digitally purchased games somewhere down the line. It just makes so much sense for console gamers. That and the ability to logon using any Xbox and having access to your library.

Microsoft could say anything now. Not buying that for a minute...given their track record over the last 3 weeks. :lol:
I can't see the logic of implementing DRM to eliminate used games, alongside a system that allows 9 people to freely share a game
that 1 person bought. That's potentially $540 US lost for every game sold (assuming every game is $60 US ).
Which publisher in their right mind would have agreed to that?
In any event, it gone, but that is more PR/damage-control.
-
Not all ten ppl would be able to play it at the same time, which would make it d same as lending a disk, so as far as lost revenue goes, it would be no different than how the system is now......
And having access to entire library of borrowed games would promote more sales if u want to play it anytime, or if is multi. So potentially more revenue than the disc based system.
And I don't think MS representatives will go on official record with this info if they plan to release the feature in the future, which I think they are.

Just a headsup.
There is an Xbox Live Gold Day One Preorder up, that includes a few free copy of the full verison of Killer Instinct.
It going for the same price as regular gold subscription...get it whiles it's hot!
(http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dayone_xbox_livegold-590x358.jpg)
If you are set on buying an Xbox One then this deal makes a lot of sense. It costs the same as the standard Gold membership, includes a free game, and just extends any Live Gold membership you already have. It also means you are guaranteed to have a game to play as soon as your Xbox One is set up and after however many gigabytes of download Killer Instinct ends up being.
Unlike the Day One console, it seems unlikely Microsoft will sell out of Live pre-orders unless it chooses to, but it is listed as a limited time offer. The only concern Microsoft may have is that if it proves extremely popular then the Live servers could grind to a halt on launch day as everyone tries to download their free copy of Killer Instinct.

Microsoft reveals more on Home Gold for the Xbox One, enables sharing games and benefits
(http://cdn.wpcentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2013/08/Xbox%20One.jpg?itok=RRDO3KD_)
Microsoft has posted details on how you will be able to share digital games on your Xbox One console as well as well as outlining the new Home Gold feature for Xbox Live Gold members that will let you share your membership benefits with others..
Marc Whitten, Chief Product Officer at Microsoft, explains that everyone in your home can share digital games with each other. The Xbox One will become a gaming library filled with the titles that different players in the house have purchased. Any player can select any digital game on the Xbox One console, sign in with their gamertag and play.
Additionally, you can share digital games when you are signed into another console and any games purchased on that console will also be available on your home Xbox One console.

Very nice trailer.
Well-timed reaction to that Dying Light gameplay reveal no doubt.
Dead Rising 3's bases have already been pwnt.
Poor M$/Capcom. :laughing7:

DR3 was definitely a trailer. I look forward to what I can do with the vehicle in that game though. Tide me over till Dying Light hits, although there is a title on the horizon you guys don't know about (Same company) that is gonna make you salivate more ;)

How much would you pay for classic characters like Sabrewulf, Glacius and the newly-announced Thunder in the upcoming free-to-download Xbox One exclusive Killer Instinct? Microsoft has slapped a $4.99 price tag on each character's head...
Before you take out your torches, continue reading lol.
...but why buy piecemeal when you can get the whole shebang for $20?
In case you missed it at E3, here's how the new Killer Instinct works. Xbox One owners will pay nothing for the initial download, which includes the game's most boring character, Jago, for free. Each additional character — there'll be six total at launch — will cost $5 in Microsoft's new Real Money Points.
But buying these characters individually is just plain stupid, when you can get all six starters and two additional post-launch characters for $19.99 in the Combo Breaker Pack. And for those who like to sprinkle their smart with a little silly, there's the Ultra Edition, which contains all the characters plus costumes, accessories, and a copy of the original Killer Instinct.
In short, it's a free-to-play game that's really a $19.99 fighting game broken up into pieces for the incredibly picky. It's a clever way of making a demo with a really cool "buy now" button.
I'll be getting the ultra edition :)

Agreed.
Personally the closer to actual reality it is, the less interested I am.
Scifi / Fantasy for my gaming fix. (Uncharted and Bad Company 2 being 2 of those rare exceptions)
And I've been waiting for a serious mech resurgence for a while. I am going to bury many hrs into this title.

Dell Confirms That Windows 8 Apps Can Run On Xbox One?
Oct 19, 2013 Posted by pradeep In Apps, Developers, kinect, Windows 8.1, Xbox Tagged Developer, Microsoft, xbox, Xbox One Comments 4
Xbox One Windows 8 Apps
Even though Microsoft has talked about literally everything on Xbox One, from its design decisions to marketing stuff, we are yet to know about the apps running on Xbox One. Xbox One is a powerful gaming PC that runs 3 operating systems simultaneously. One of these operating systems is based on the Windows NT kernel and will help runs apps such as Netflix, Skype, YouTube, Twitter, etc. The second is dedicated solely to games. The third is the OS is the most important and allows the other two OSes to communicate with each other and it also allows for the fast switching between game mode and app mode. The will give Xbox user the benefit of being able to instantly switch between apps.
Even though game developers can now submit their games to Xbox Store, Microsoft has not yet detailed the apps submission process. What kind of apps can Xbox One run? Can any 3rd party developer submit to apps to Xbox One store just like Windows Store? There were reports that Xbox One can run Windows 8 apps since they share same core and developer environment.
Dell has listed Xbox One on their website and it has revealed that Xbox One will be able to run all your Windows 8 apps. Check the wording below,
Consider the game officially changed. With all your favorite Windows 8 apps able to be run on and synced to your Xbox One, now your phone, desktop, tablet and TV can all give you a unified web and entertainment experience.
What do you think? I think Microsoft should open up the Xbox One app environment before Apple does with its Apple TV.

Wow, if this is true, gg no re, ultimate living room box.
Shiv, can u deny or confirm this?
-
This is absolutely phenomenal news.
How the internet has not crashed as yet is beyond me.
Unless some sort of epic troll / hoax????
gg no re indeed.
Your move Sony. Integrate Ubuntu into the PS4? I ain't know what to tell them nuh.
Unfair advantage, lol
Microsoft starting to act like the 800lb Cybernetic Bully Gorilla they ought to be.
-
Another step towards all xbox games running on the PC.
I predict that there will be very little exclusive xbox titles that dont make it on to the PC
-
Well if Microsoft has their way with the Windows Store on Windows 8.
Recreating what Valve did with Steam, then definitely.
They will be able to digitally lock down their PC titles with always on DRM and treat it as an extension of the xbox marketplace.
They already doing that with the casual games. Testing
Hard core soon come.
We already got a tease with Halo: Spartan Assault
Hopefully it did well enough to justify a full move.
EA has had surprising success with Origin. If they could do it....Microsoft definitely can.
Would be a dream come true to see a proper Halo release return to the PC.

If this is true then it will be hard not to buy Xbone lol. Nah man there has to be some catch to this.

Well from a technical standpoint this is extremely easy for MS to do based on how the xbone was designed.
It effectively has 3 OSes:
1. HyperV - running on the hypervisor level, think of this as a striped down base OS.
2. Xbox OS - To run all the Xbox games
3. Windows 8 - To run Skype, Netflix, etc.
Designing it in that way allow them to take advantage of alt/tab features etc. So when u alt/tab, it effectively just swapping the Xbox OS to the background, and bringing up the windows 8. So u could be playing game and have Skype snapped to the side simultaneously, etc.
So they design the OS to run Skype in the windows 8 environment, so technically they already running windows 8 apps on it. I see no technical reason why they can't just enable the entire windows store to provide this feature.
So I hope this true, because technically it rely easy for them to do at this point.
And yes, it will be one step closer to all games on PC, hell, if Microsoft play Manish they can even make Xbox OS available for all PCs, (just like steam OS), But we already have most crossplatofrm games on PC, but having halo and gears and KILLER INSTINCT! Would be rely nice.
Apart from that, I just excited for this news to be able to completely replace my living room PC with an Xbox one. Install up power-DVD metro on that beast and ill be able to play my entire library of content right off the Xbox. Then have access to all my rest of apps, that Xbox go always be on lol.
-
This is absolutely phenomenal news.
(http://images.wikia.com/irategamerdoesnotsuck/images/2/2f/Tumbleweed.gif)
I'm sorry...what was that?
You and Messiaah care.
I'll be excited when I see all Xbone games on Windows 8. :/

Ent boy woody! Same thing I'm thinking. Too good to be true there must be a catch! lol
And how Arc ignoring you so boy?
Only seeing Messiah and Wyatt? Obviously Woody cares too. fail
Microsoft isn't confirming...but I really hope it is true. One step closer to true cross platform support.

Now wake up t stream Nokia world, and maybe MS saving one last surprise for launch day? Lets hope.
-
That surprise would best be Windows 8 app compatibility
-
That would be pretty cool.
Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4
-
It's in the realm of speculation atm, Dell announced that the XBO will be compatible with all your 'favourite' windows 8 apps, MS retort was that it would not work with ALL apps. So there is some probably some hidden meaning.
My best guess, expect the most popular apps to be compatible: FB, instagram, vine, etc.
-
I suspect that to be the case as well. No-Name apps mite not work, but obviously the big players go hadda be compatible.
-
imagine a native XBMC app....omg, I would just buy that for spite.
Cheaper than any decent HTPC I could build to run XBMC native.

Exactly, I want XBMC on that BAD!
Right now the only metro style app I see that can play all the file formats of xbmc is PowerDVD, buying some Surface 2s for the siblings this Christmas, so had to make sure it could access and play the content from the server, so tested PowerDVD and it handle everything I throw at it. So PowerDVD go be the solution for now. But boy o boy a windows 8 xbmc app will be sexy. They have an Android App, so a Win 8 version can't be far behind.
At which point I can remove my htpc from the living room, and have only the Xbox one. Gg no re.

And for the paranoid amounts us (me included):
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/10/kinectmount-1382958885.jpg)
If you couldn't bear the original Kinect staring at you all day every day, then you're going to be doubly unappreciative of the upgraded Kinect 2.0 module that comes with the Xbox One. Fortunately, as with the 360, a straight-forward fix is just a few dollars away. Accessory maker PDP has a privacy-protecting Kinect TV mount available for pre-order on Amazon for $20, which will serve the dual purpose of attaching your new Kinect module to any flat-panel display and hobbling its core functions. By adding a layer of solid plastic over the device's infrared and color camera sensors, the mount should bring some comfort to anyone not fully convinced by Microsoft's earlier assurances about how imaging data of our living rooms will be used in the future. Meanwhile, those all-important voice commands should still work fine.

Or use any of the voice commands to record vids, swap apps, TV shows etc.

So much for PS4 Graphics being better.
Hope that puts to rest the argument about games being better on the PS4 and If you want to Game, PS4 is the better console crap.

http://kotaku.com/forget-about-a-titanfall-port-for-playstation-in-a-con-1454335261
"In a conference call to investors, Electronic Arts' Blake Jorgensen just said that Titanfall is, "for the life of the title," exclusive to Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. So the game is not a timed exclusive to Microsoft platforms."
-
BOOM! More power to Xbox.
-
Just for the first Titanfall. If its successful and more to follow then it will go cross platform I think
-
Was listening to a podcast and the casters made a lot of sense.
They said with exclusives like that it doesn't matter if sequels come crossplatform because the origin console would already have the market.
He used several examples.
Mass Effect 1 was exclusive, and by the time it reach 3, nobody cared for it on PlayStation, the sales of ME3 on xbox was dramatically higher.
They also drew several other examples where something released first on xbox, and after a year now come crossplatform, and didn't sell well on playstation.
-
http://youtu.be/aO3y2Iqe-0Y
Boom!
-
Exactly, the game will create a legacy and fanbase on the original console.
Not to mention draw the ire of fans of the rival platform.
PS3 men gonna hate on Titanfall now as a matter of survival. If they trump up the game and say how awesome it is, gamers will be driven towards xbox/pc to play it.
Nasty
I will never "rate" a title for going exclusive. That is a disservice to us all.
A necessary evil in our industry...a business strategy, nothing more.
-
Thought the videos currently floating around the interwbs of the XBOX One version of BF4 was impressive? Well apparently one of the features were turned off in the review builds.
http://n4g.com/news/1382893/battlefield-4-xbox-one-review-build-was-missing-ambient-occlusion-coming-on-day-one-same-as-ps4-pc

Things are gonna get better :D
-
good looking out

-
Yea I know the Xbox version was missing the ambient, but it didn't need it.
The visuals look better than PS4 without that. Much less time they add that.
And @ Wyatt, exclusives are a necessary evil to the industry. What I just happy about is the fact that this time around it ain't affect PC. We still getting it.
But ill say this. If bleddy Microsoft, do what they did, with halo and gears, with titan fall. And have part 1 on pc and part 2 onwards exclusive to Xbox, somebody going to get hurt. :protest:
-
hahhaah, yeah boy.
I get the feeling they coming strong with Windows 8 as a gaming platform.
They have a proper marketplace and a proven model to monetize games via digital distribution.
We (and they) know that GFWL needs a revamp. This could bring a lot of xbox games to Windows 8
and to phone, those that are viable on that platform.
They could even drop a "buy once...run anywhere" strat and wtfpwn Sony.
Single sign on and your xbox one games available on every device you own (phone, xbox and PC)
gg wp no re
-
if they do that, they could charge me 10$ ah month for xbl.
Windows 8 and Xbox already use d same MS account, if they do buy once play anywhere, with cross platform play, and a unified chat/matchmaking system (xbl), working the same across bot pc and Xbox and phone.
Waayyyeeeeeee, take my money now if they do that, that is thing I dont mind paying for.
The first step will be to unify gfwl and Xbox live though. They should be the same thing, any info on what online platform titanfall on pc go be using?

Titanfall’s dedicated PC servers will be running from the Xbox LIVE Cloud
(http://gon.cdn.on.net/uploads/2013/06/titanfallyo.jpg)
By Tim Colwill on June 25, 2013 at 9:01 am
One of the things that Microsoft haven’t backpedaled on since their E3 2013 conference is their commitment to the creation of massive cloud server farms, used to sync your saved games, provide spare computational power on certain rendering effects, and all sorts of other things.
Now, Respawn have announced that upcoming multiplayer shooter Titanfall will be using the power of that cloud for their dedicated servers on PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360. Which is good news, because, hey — dedicated servers.
On the other hand, it does mean that the chances of us here at games.on.net running a Titanfall server for you just went down very drastically. We’ll be chasing up with Microsoft and Respawn to see if we can get some more details about where exactly these dedicated servers will be located.

http://www.destructoid.com/infinity-ward-talks-720p-for-cod-ghosts-on-xbox-one-264890.phtml
...and this is supposed to be the 'better' system?
I dunno, but isn't 1080p > 720p?
I could laugh now? :laughing7:
Let me see how GATT's resident Xbone spin-doctor will explain away this one. :)
-
Yes very interesting.
And yes 1080 > 720, but we both know resolution alone don't = better. We both know a lot more about graphics to think that.
Also, why they drop the resolution makes plenty sense, blasted Hyper-V.
But it being utilized to offer PC-Like features in the Xbox one.
So one can argue that the extra features is. > a slight resolution bump that would not matter much to how pretty d game look in d long run.
But that argument can't be made until men get the box in hand and start using it.
Is xbl vs psn all over again. Some men could say Free games on psn better, but others say your experience on xbl is better. etc etch etc.
I personally think it gay next gen consoles can't run 1080p though. If MS knew they OS features would have required some of the power be restricted from developers, they should have intentionally put ah lil better specs so it wouldn't affect what developers have access too. But then that mite have mean an even more expensive console and men done grimy for the 500$
Also when developers get experience with the console, such issues mite become mute. Time will tell.
But being ah PC gamer I find it rely gay that both consoles still at the edge of graphic capability, the ps4 don't even run b4 at 1080p, stueps. But anyways, it have other ways u can make a game look good. So ill wait to see for mehself.
Final verdict? I wont give up the sexy features of Xbox one for ah slightly higher resolution that mite not even matter in the end.

Let me see how GATT's resident Xbone spin-doctor will explain away this one. :)

...and this one is for yuh pardner who like to throw picong via email. :)
(http://i.imgur.com/RHq6Dk7.gif)
...and while I won't twist the knife on this one, I will reiterate that it was Micro$haft self who stated that
the reason they implemented that 3-OS system with Hypervisor was to allow for better resource management,
and here now we have Mark Rubin saying that they could NOT achieve 1080p @ 60 fps due to issues with 'resource allocation'.
...and lets be real here...Ghosts isn't running on a brand-new engine.
This does not bode well for Xbone development
Isn't this the same issue that cropped up in BF4? The PS4 is rendering 60 fps @ 1080p...natively...while the Xbone is upscaling.
I hope this is not the start of a trend in this upcoming gen's console development.
-
Well boy, that ain't sounding encouraging at all.
Because the masses can easily do that math. 1080p > 720p
It too simple
Men with small screens in their living room mightn't be able to see any appreciable difference (32" and under) sitting at the couch....but rest assured, people playing on Full HD monitors and with 42" screens and up will notice.
I hope this is all some sick sad joke.

Microsoft Studios vice president Phil Spencer reaffirmed the company's commitment to PC gaming in a recent chat with Shacknews, revealing that the company has several core gamer-focused first party projects in the works for Windows.
"We probably have more individual projects on Windows than we've had in ten years at Microsoft Studios," Spencer said. "At the launch of Windows 8, we had about 30 games in the Windows Store. A lot of those you'd consider lightweight or casual games... But we've covered all of that property now. Now we're starting to look at bigger and core gamer things. I'm excited by that."
While Microsoft is currently focusing on its upcoming console launch, notable Xbox One projects like Titanfall and Project Spark are also slated for a PC release. Spencer notes that cross-platform interactivity and content-sharing will be a key component of Microsoft's strategy going forward.
"For us, we're first-party across all Microsoft devices," Spencer explained. "We definitely think about ourselves that way in our studios. If you think about a service like Spotify or Netflix, you expect that service to work on any device you have. For some games, it will be similar. I just want to have an Xbox Live account and it works on my phone, on my console, and my Windows machine. And then I'll be able to access my content in a screen-appropriate way."
Boom!

Hope MS releases all the same features for Windows 8 using a Kinect compatible with PC oui.
And with the rumors of buy 1 game choose platform, this just going to be epic.
Imagine u buy halo, u can play it on Xbox one, pc whatever, with access to same UI, same friends list, same features, same Kinect, with cross platform play. GG no Re. (btw, steam will be effectively dead if MS did that. Which is what valve CEO was afraid of, but I think forced Microsoft into doing by they steams)

Wow, well I knew Sony was courting indie games. Something I balked at, not seeing the relevance of Super Meat Boy on a next gen console.
Shows what I know....they have laid eggs and now the PS4 is boasting a list of titles coming to the platform that will make the PS2 blush (the console with the most games ever)
Check out the list below, I'll wait.....it will take a while.
Got DAMN!
People understand more....and simply, the PS4 is going to give you more....much more titles. Microsoft has to balance this scale somehow. Fast.
I love Halo but it won't be enough to stem the tide.
One could argue that indie games are a bunch of crap compared to the Triple A titles Microsoft has on the burner....but I won't be the person to say that.

just pokin fun :P
gettin my 2ndary console aka X1 end of 2014, PS4 1st then PC :)
-
@ vice, yUh posting something that not even live? Really? Pico rejected :laughing7:
@wyatt, we already discuss in great detail why what u post dont matter in d long run, not feeling to reiterate that whole convo, so ill just respond here with a few highlights.
1. Indie games don't sell consoles, tripple a titles sell consoles.
2. Quality of games and overall experience > plenty indie games
3. MS not worried bout Sony, they real competitor is apple and Google, which is why they pushing not just gaming, but living room, entertainment and digital hard. Their vision is d future, consumers just wasn't ready for it, so they had to scale back, but that is where everything go be, a future I'm afraid Sony wont be ready for.
4. MS play is unified ecosystem leveraging their power across d board, 3 screen one platform vision. Buy one game and play on any screen u want, backed by core MS services, Skype, SkyDrive, xbl, Kinect, etc. whether it be pc, x1, or wp. Sony cannot compete on that landscape, regardless of how much Indies they get.
5. Everybody said the first Xbox would flop, they said Sony will cut they ass, MS entered a business where Nintendo and sony dominated the market, and became profitable in a business that sony not even making money in....
6. MS eye on apple/Google/mobile, and valve getting beatout by accident. They steamos will flop. Windows is d future of PC gaming, which is still growing, and going to get even bigger next gen. A platform MS quadrupling down on.
7. I'll also like to add that Sony does not understand d mobile gaming market, the vita is a big flop.
8. If Sony partner with valve and do something mannish so, then they go be able to compete on that big scale. But I dont see that happening either.
9. To throw a few numbers out there, the console market is about 250million customers, d mobile market is 2.5 billion. MS knows where the future is, and they making sure they ready for it. Sony will get catch with they Pants down, Just like PSN, its why for all d free games they have, xbl still a better online service. Also I remind ppl of the epic fail that was d 2 month outage of psn.
Microsoft is positioning theirself and the xbone to be an integral part of ur living room experience, by which they can more effectively provide a hardcore market for publishers and not just loose to the mobile revolution. The Xbox one feels like a new console, a new vision, a new plan of attack, the PlayStation 4 just feels like a faster ps3.
We go see how it all turns out, I dont see either of them going away anytime soon, but my money is on MS. They have the uncanny ability to start with a loosing product, and end up making it highly profitable, regardless of how much time and money it takes.

Ok, reviews starting to come in for Xbox one games. And as promised ill post similar content here as I did on PS4 thread. Kinda busy today so I'll post as I get chance to read. I'll start things off with Killer Instinct:
I was fully expecting this game to get a very low score, seeing that it's effectively an incomplete game. (they only start production last year). With just 6 players at launch, 2 more added in January and March, story mode to come in March, and Season 2 in September to add another 8 players. I know it would face a hard review out of the gate:
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2013/08/xkillerinstinct.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Z_NVx2-A-O.jpg)
Even with all the stuff missing, IGN still found it fit to give this game a 8.4
http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/11/18/killer-instinct-video-review
Kotaku:
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/06/xreview-three-stars.jpg.pagespeed.ic.8XHra81ZiC.jpg)
http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/18/killer-instinct-review-content-breaker/
But the key take-away from this title is this:
Because the combo system powering Killer Instinct is so simple to grasp at the top-level, yet pushes players to input commands with urgency, it toes a great line between being accessible and offering depth for dedicated players to mine. After learning the combo mechanic, it becomes an act of filling in the missing pieces of the puzzle; a matter of optimizing combo chains and set-ups for higher hit counts.
This makes Killer Instinct a delight to play and a uniquely enticing proposition to fighting aficionados and genre novices alike. And even though it's mostly about big, flashy combos, Killer Instinct doesn't make you feel helpless when you're the one being pummeled.
They manage to get the most important thing right, the core fighting mechanic. The other features that missing that cause it to get rate down are coming eventually. And being FTP for first character, and 20$ to acquire the entire Title. Is not a bad deal. This is the first time I see a game going to be so severely fragmented in it's release. Is like a game released over the span of a year. Interested to see how it all works out. But what most important to me is there, it's why I bought the console.
The lack of Multi-Player lobby at launch is RELLLLL CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Though. If they at least had that, id be perfectly happy. That's one thing they going to have to add and SOON! Because 1v1 ain't gonna cut it for long.

Before yUh start, read everything I type, and read the reviews.
Also I did say that is why I watch gameplay footage because some games mite be rated low but look good enough to get me to play it still (Rage is one). I also said that even if KI get a 1/10 I buying it for sure, because of the vids I watch and the gameplay I see.
Now read the review and see why it's missing points. If the missing items were there (which its going to be eventually) The game would be a 9+ for sho.
:)
And note, a game missing so much, still get a higher score than Killzone :laughing7: The core combat is THAT good.
-
Ah skipping Dead Rising though. I know this series have rel fans, but I ain't one. Pass.
Want to see Ryse reviews, not seeing any yet. I fully expecting that game to get a low score. But d last few vids of it look mildly interesting, waiting to see if is a hidden gem, or if it just "ok".
-
And note, a game missing so much, still get a higher score than Killzone :laughing7: The core combat is THAT good.
That was the expected response. Especially the part above.
Continue with your 'campaign'.
The rest of us will be playing Ultra Street Fighter 4. :)

Yea, Ultra SF4 is good, I have SF4 Arcade, yUh can't really beat SF, its an epic game.
But Killer Instinct have a special place in my heart. It's among my most fond gaming memories, right up there with Zelda. It's been a 17 Year wait, but it's finally BACK!
Keep in mind, this game started production last year........ It's the epitome of "rushed" But I'm glad they spent the time they did, making sure the most important things were done right, which is the combat system. If that wasn't right, it woulda fail hard! But with a strong framework, the rest of the pieces can be added easily over time.
Don't treat it like a finished game. Treat it like part of a game that going to be released over the span of a year. It's priced accordingly too. They not asking you to pay 60$ for that. 20$ is not a bad asking price for Season 1.
And if you fine with 1 character, yUh can't be free.
When all the pieces are in place, it will stand proudly alongside the other fighting games of the generation, don't worry. But we know SF and MVC3 is the SHIZZ right now. Notable mentions also Tekken, injustice and skullgirls. The Mortal Remake was epic as well.
I'm more inclined to give KI some breathing room, they only start 1 year ago, and I'm a hardcore fanboy of the franchise. And for what they accomplished in 1 year, I am quite impressed. Just time to get the rest of features now.

Killer Instinct Gets Its First Tournament
by Vince Ingenito
November 18, 2013
Killer Instinct isn’t even on store shelves yet, but its competitive life begins this Thursday night. A story running this morning on majornelson.com reports that Microsoft will be running the Killer Instinct Ultra Fighter Tournament at MS retail stores around the country on the evening of the 21st, with the top player in each store heading to the grand finals in Jacksonville, FL on the 23rd where they’ll play for an Xbox One, every launch, and a one year subscription to Xbox Live. Oh and this:
(http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2013/11/KI-Championship-belt-large-610x286.jpg)
Major Nelson will be on hand to present this blinged out belt to whoever proves themselves most worthy. Participating locations include:
•Burlington, MA
•Houston, TX
•Lone Tree, CO
•Orlando, FL (Florida Mall)
•Seattle, WA (UVillage)
•San Diego, CA
Though it’s being announced on short notice, there’s still a chance for the competitive fighting game scene to come out in force. Houston has a strong scene, Orlando hosts CEO, one of the biggest and most beloved annual tournaments, and San Diego, along with the rest of Southern California is in many ways the capital of the US competitive scene.
Registration begins tonight at 6pm, and is totally free. Click away on the store closest to you if you think you’ve got what it takes.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/18/killer-instinct-gets-its-first-tournament
Das wash we talking bout. Since that brutal molestation MS get from Fans at E3, they really have made a complete 180, fired appropriate people, and make a complete change in their marketing and messaging. The Xbox One ads I've seen on TV so far are good. They pushing airtime. They giving away free Xbox and Xbox live to current holders of XBL Gold accounts that meet certain criterion (have a certain gamer score, etc, etch etc).
Now this. GG.

Ok, this trailer piqued my interest in this game.

I'm not a fan of the ddr / stepmania segments a la God of War but yes, semi interested in RYSE. Mainly because I am a huge fan of the era.
Rome and Spartacus (TV series) sealed the deal on that.

Checking out smartglass here, it rel epic out, and if Xbox video had subscription like Netflix, it woulda rel win.
And Spartacus mad, but I never watch rome.....but wince u mention it, pulling it nao :laughing7:

Voice looks ah little rough around d edges, but thankfully u can do everything with controller, so using voice to complement should be fine. Also as men learn the commands it go be easier, and MS could improve that over time with software.

Not a game for kids though, blood and violence iwmc. Still, an epic kinect titles for teens and up. Something I've been jonesin' for.
Loved the Your Shape Fitness Evolved "wall breaker" kickboxing mini game and saw real potential in a full game built around it.

It was one of the best games for putting the player on the screen. Showcasing the power of kinect.

Reviews shipping up nicely against the PS4 launch, overall the Xbox one launch lineup is reviewing better, and making a strong case overall to actually buy the console at launch. Only game left now I want to see is RYSE. If that game somehow manages to review well. Then it go be GG for Xbox one. RYSE, and how they Online Stack up on day-one. So far no reports on hardware issues.

Xbox One Review Round-up
gizmodo:
But—and this is admittedly a sizable but—if the Xbox One can straighten the few little quirks it has with some software tweaks, this thing is going to be unstoppable in a way the PS4 could never touch. It’s too versatile, too feature-ridden, too future. So wait, yes. But while you do, go ahead and start clearing out plenty of space underneath your television.
Engadget:
The Xbox One is quick, quiet and capable of handling live TV and gorgeous games, all at the sound of your voice. $500, is a lot to ask, but it’s much more than just a gaming
CNET:
The good: Microsoft’s new console integrates live TV in an innovative fashion and can control your cable or satellite cable box, TV, and receiver. Most games present noticeably improved graphics over those on the Xbox 360. The One has a slightly better roster of exclusive launch games compared with the PS4′s.

After all that clever Xbone 'marketing'...here's an honest, succinct, objective review of the console itself...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y51zatx9qs
...and after watching it, my initial opinion of the Xbone stands...
All the extra functionality that others cannot contain themselves about, I actually consider totally unnecessary.
Sadly...I don't watch enough TV to make this console the 'one ring' entertainment solution that Microkia is aiming for.
Even if I did...guess what? We have zero cable/satellite providers capable of supporting the Xbone locally. All that 'Live TV' functionality is lost on me, and ultimately useless.
- The UI is way more complicated than it needs to be, and I'm glad you can use your controller to navigate it almost exclusively if you want.
I'm even 'gladder' that you can fine tune sections of it to only display what you really need
- The snap feature is cool, and it's going to take some getting used to.
- The 'game DVR' functionality, while a little more fleshed out than the PS4's version (SkyDrive integration), the execution seems a bit awkward to me.
- The Kinect voice-command functionality issues (highlighted by quite a few of the reviews) are concerning, but I'm sure Micro$haft will fine tune that over time.
I'm still not a fan of the 'always-on', 'always-listening/watching', but it's not that big of a deal for me.
- Dat HDD. :shakehead: With 'next-gen' game installs (mandatory now) cresting 20 and 30 GB, being able to quickly and cheaply upgrade the internal HDD
is a REQUIREMENT for me. No such luck with the Xbone. That's a real shame. A 1 TB hybrid drive would be the PERFECT upgrade for this.
- Liking the new controller...especially that D-pad. Can it pass the Akuma (SF4) 'Messatsu-Gou-Hadou' test? Only then can it be considered an 'improvement'. :laughing7:
To summarise...
It's an ambitious attempt to be the 'living-room entertainment juggernaut', but at the end of it all...I just want it for the games...particularly the exclusives.
All that 'extra' stuff seems geared for a primarily American user-base, and I don't have a problem with that...however, I already have all this so-called 'next-gen'
functionality on several PCs, and I don't need a console to ape them. Many do. I don't. I'm just in it for the games, man.
Maybe my overall opinion may change when I'm ready to buy it (next year), but for now, Sony will be getting my money.
I think I can withstand the lure of Forza 5 (the only launch title I'm even remotely interested in) for a little while longer. :)
Whatever your choice, the important thing is to have fun. :icon_thumleft:
-
but Arc, based on what I have read, you should be able to just plug in the HDMI from your Flow setup box and watch TV through the xbox.
"Live TV is something that will be available at launch through something called HDMI pass-through which will allow you to plug in a set-top box to your Xbox."
Saves you having to switch inputs.
-
I coulda sware i post that review already, was one of the first to go live last night.
Waiting on sess review of Ps to compare.
The HDD should really be replaceable, but they adding support for external storage, a bandage of sorts.
The dpad on the controller is one thing I really looking forward too, and with windows 8 drivers hitting early 2014, having one controller to rule them all will be very nice. For adventure games I prefer 360 over dual shock, it just more comfortable. But that dpad.....And seeing that I buying this console for KI , they betters had get that dpad right.
The TV functions may be targeted at US base, but I have no intention of using it as such, I'm going to be piping xbmc through the TV interface.......:)..... and then use an xbmcremote app on phone/surface to control. Also going to be using console for Netflix, youtube, etc. And as Wyatt point out, you don't need to be in the US, the US is required for the Xbox one guide. But u don't have to use that, its like a digital TV guide. You would loose some features, like saying, Xbox go to HBO. Cause the Xbox wont understand your provider, but u can still pipe it through for other advantages. Stuff I want it for. Like being in man of steel on xbmc and see an Xbox invite for ki popup on screen and I say, "Xbox accept", and switch and start game one time. (at which point I can use my phone to pause xbmc whiles joining game. So you dont have to be watching actual TV, or US based TV, to get benefits from the passthrough feature.
All in all, I'm happy with what I see, as you point out, the good thing is, if u dont want the features, don't use it, you can unpin everything, and disable always on, Kinect, etc. And just use d controller to do everything and get a pure gaming box if that's what u want. But if u want more, its there as well.
Have to wait to see how big of an issue the 500gb drive going to be. Currently I have 300gb of ssd storage for games on my beast pc, and that's more than enough. I used to keep a 2nd path on my sata storage for other games, but then I realize I wasting time cause the other games I never really play and it just taking up room for no reason, and d speed of net dese days, if I want something back, just download it. For eg, I had borderlands 1 and all dlc installed picking up space, and I never playing that again. So my 300gb ssd is fine for my use case. 500 on Xbox should be more than enough, I more want to be able to replace it to install an ssd or hybrid drive. Not too concerned with space.
-
I just thought of something as well. The Xbox one has an IR blaster, which you can program to turn on ur receiver, TV etc. Adjust volume on ur Dac etc. There are IR based receivers u can use on ur pc to control xbmc with a traditional remote............., so have Xbox one use its ir blaster to send the same commands to the xbmc receiver thus controlling xbmc using Kinect, and I could code my xbmc input file accordingly, giving me most of them live TV features on xbmc via Xbox one :laughing7:
Come next weekend the modding shall commence!

Which Flow 'set-top' box is that?
I have the regular-ass small one with co-ax and composite outputs.
...and my opposable thumbs make 'switching inputs' a cinch. :mellow:
-
Jah men still running composite...waye....and not just input switching, but snapping, and some of the other things I list they. But if yUh running composite then jah. Using ur pc/xbmc to act as ur set-top box should interest you though. Or not, lol.

big techie like you boy Arc???
I fling away that old "SD" box long days and got this from Flow (since last world cup)
(http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/7114/pvr.jpg)
Connections galore! Component, HDMI, Optical Out (with Dolby Digital 5.1 for my Logitech Z5500), you name it. This box has it.
Wasn't very expensive too. Like $25 more than the regular box I think.
There is a noticeable increase in quality for SD channels as well. Suspected it was doing some sort of upsampling but Flow technicians tell me the enhanced picture is just as a result of superior connections (hdmi / component) and not any post processing by the box itself.
Full specs below:
Embedded Digicipher® II Conditional Access support
In-band and out of band (OOB) tuners with RF return
Comprehensive and advanced device connectivity including HDMI™
4 LED indicators: Power, IR Receive, HD, Data
Enhanced on-screen diagnostics including Pace Diagnostic Dashboard
1000 Dhrystone MIPS Processor
32 MByte FLASH memory
5.1 Dolby Digital optical output
Ethernet port
SNMP support for remote diagnostics
DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem enabling DSG signaling support and Interactive Applications
tldr
You can connect your tv to your xbox with this baby, boom bang
One device to rule them all.

You never struck me as the "poor-me-one" type. Easy to ask the landlord to change the box to the Pace Tango HD and you'll handle him the extra $$
Picture is VASTLY superior.
I don't watch much TV so is really for the misses. It kicked ass for world cup though. Got my money's worth then.
Nothing worse than a big fancy 1080p LCD TV and you're running 480i composite. lol
Not even component self dan??
-
Well I didn't know you could change it to that.
It's actually connected via co-ax, not composite. That box doesn't even have component.
Wha we go do bai? :laughing7:

They will swap your existing standard definition box for it.

Ah BOY!, Microsoft just made my day:
Dolby Digital is coming post launch. This was a SW scheduling issue pure and simple, and I know people are disappointed, but we will have it.
Anyone with an HDMI receiver should be fine, as we pass the uncompressed 5.1 and 7.1 through HDMI as well as DTS. Even if you have a Dolby only HDMI receiver (which I'm not sure exists), you will still get 5.1 or 7.1 sound since those receivers should accept uncompressed surround.
http://kotaku.com/xbox-ones-missing-audio-options-are-coming-microsoft-1469102130
GG no Re, Audiophile Features in we rass.
(And here I was already planning an elaborate convoluted solution to allow my TrueHD Audio from PC to make it to my Receiver :laughing7:, no need now.)
-
I'm not surprised, they said HDMI standby passthrough.
If they offered that feature in this day and age WITHOUT support for 5.1 they should be shot!
Because one of the epic selling points for an xbox right now is that it can totally replace the need for a reciever.
If you only have one console and your cable setup box. gg no re.
Never have to switch inputs or fiddle with buttons again. One device to rule them all.
Set your TV on HDMI 1 and forget it. All traffic coming through that port via the xbox. (even when it off)
PS...my son broke my kinect sensor stand.
how much for that new one?
-
$20 for the new one.
And ah don't think you understand why I excited. Doing 5.1 yea, that should be standard.
But that's the Xbox processing the audio. And based on previously released information, I though the Xbox going to be performing its own processing on all audio inputs.
For an audiophile that's very bad. Because I ain't spend $USD2000 on a receiver, only to have the Xbox One do the processing. But since it have uncompressed passthrough, that means straight from XBMC the signal reaching un-altered to my Receiver. Pure Audio Fidelity in we rass. No compression, no processing, no shenanigans, just take meh signal, and feed it to the DAC, GG no Re.

Armored Trucks Full of Xbox Ones Rolled Through New York City Today
(http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/1972sb615efj3jpg/ku-xlarge.jpg)
Well, Microsoft's Xbox One Launch Event Sure Seems Interesting
http://youtu.be/UP_YbGa26m8
I'm picturing some poor schmuck at Microsoft accounts getting a bill for the Xbox One's launch event in NYC tonight in a few months' time, looking at it, then jumping straight out a window.
The company is going to ridiculous lengths tonight, not only taking over Times Square but doing stuff like having zombies shamble all over the Brooklyn Bridge, fancy sports cars racing through Manhattan and giving out green beanies.
Some of team Kotaku will be heading down to check it out; expect more coverage from them through the night.

lol, well the first link kind of undid its own damage
Edit: That last bit was a joke, just in case anyone takes it the wrong way. I love the xbox one (the working one I'm currently playing on, the broken one not so much) and won't be sulking off to the PS4 because of a launch day dud. Knowing my luck I'd get a dead PS4 too. Currently playing Battlefield 4 and it is beautiful. So far there have been about 3 reports of this failure so there is no need to blow this out of proportion yet. Happy gaming and I hope none of you have this issue.
Nice that he rates Battlefield on the platform. I am very very interested in the performance of that game on next gen hardware.
To be fair, I just checked and can't find any overwhelming number of incidents with these grinding optical drives. (something that happens on PCs as well....but not particularly common on this platform either)
Will continue to monitor.

pt im makin is ppl takin a very minor issue and exaggerating tryin to blow things out of proportion.
NO person with a functioning brain can expect a new mass produced product to NOT hav some faulty 1s
PS4 failure rate under 1% which is normal
1% of 1 mill? 10,000 and still 10k ps4s not dead
use yuh brain ppl
this is why ive been away from game forums for so long.....they tend to b toxic filled with negativity givin wrong impressions of the overall game/s because the ppl that enjoying their stuff usually dont come to forums
ah mean LOOK what grown men here arguin about an bashin.......how X console better than Y wen men dont even play console primarily they on PC
u seein d PS men or XB men goin at it? no aint nobody hav time for to sit an put down a console they dont use ppl too busy bein GAMERS and enjoying their platform of CHOICE
tl;dr console wars are dumb and piss me off cuz its just a bunch of back an forth ignorance IMO
*drops the mic and walks away*
-
That is a cop out.
In case you weren't paying attention there are many avid console gamers on forums the world over.
This one included.
I personally have learned more about both next gen consoles from reading the back and forth between advocates on GATT.
Removing your voice from the equation is a disservice to the members who would be interested in what you have to say.
Especially coming from the first staff member to own a PS4!
Better than that.
-
Ok, I reach. Firstly, rofl @ vice. Wyatt, d man getting vex the Xbox launch was better boy, that's just ranting, hopefully he'll get over it, :laughing7:
Vice.... if that's the way you feel about console wars, why u posting in the first place? You post yUh mind in PS4, yUh post yUh mind in Xbox One. BUt some how saying you too busy playing games and it stupid yet still you put aside your game to participate in the stupid discussion? (yawn)
Now to address alyuh allegations :laughing7:
Firstly, since yesterday evening I've been watching IGN live stream, gearing up for the midnight launch. Whiles doing that, I refresh my youtube subscriptions and my news reader for any relevant news and post accordingly. (I did the EXACT! Same thing for the PS4 launch) Having said that. At no point in time yesterday afternoon to 1am last night, did I see ANYYYYYYY negative news on the Xbox. Let alone those links. Them links comes form sites I never even heard of :laughing7: These are the sites I subscribe to in my newsreader, so if the news didn't come from them, I wouldn't even have seen it yesterday, and I can't exactly post links from the future either. Despite what you mite believe, I'm not ACTUALLY the Messiah :laughing7: (engaget, ign, gamespot, kotacku, joystick, wpcentral,wmpoweruser, slashgear, guru3d, pocketnow) mite be missing ah few from there. But if the "negative" news didn't come from one of those sites last night, I wouldn't even post it.
Next. Since I haven't even had time to buss ah fart for the morning until alyuh start :laughing7:, I ain't read no news yet. So I can't rebut anything alyuh post until then, so give me ah while. What I could responded to is the USB thing.
That USB thing totally understandable why MS will ban man. The USB thing went live like 11pm Wednesday night, and was pulled an hr later. My guess is, somebody accidentally published the site, and MS had it prepared as a backup incase what happen to Sony happen to them. So men who hot on d trigger, (ME INCLUDED :) ), download the USB flash files, and stash it one side. I did not post that information, because I was waiting on my download to finish to verify it, and by time I was going to post d link, it was pulled. So did not bother. So technically is not an MS sanctioned procedure yet. And if Live having no issues, why would you use the USB anyways? Bottom line is, there is no such site to go to to upgrade from USB key. So if you play hero and want to bypass XBL using a method that no longer sanctioned, then who u want to blame?
And at hardware failures, yes vice, we all understand that every new product mite have hardware failures. But 10,000 Units failing is not acceptable in my book. That is way too many, whether it be 1% or not. And 10,000 is a far cry from the 3.
So far there have been about 3 reports of this failure so there is no need to blow this out of proportion yet.
On a sunnier note. The Xbox launch was brilliant, FAR and a ways better than Sony's launch. MS put out some money for that boy. Very entertaining, and very cool things they did for promotion, like the cars, d zombies, taking over time square, they lit up some building green in some country, cool stuff right round. In comparison d PlayStation launch was boring.
O , and there was a dude that close to 1million gamer score, he had to play Japan consoles all kinda thing to get up there, MS give him a limited edition white Xbox, with a first of it's kind XBL Gold lifetime subscription card. Is cool lil things like that that made this event cool. MS learning how to market. And MS post on twitter congratulating Sony on they launch, Sony did the opposite, Sony post and say why go 720 when u can have 1080.....really?....and just so everyone clear, the Xbox does have 1080, some of the launch titles running 1080.
....Now....im going to consult the oracle, and see what "negative" news there is on the Xbox. From known proper sites..:laughing7:
(Thanks Wyatt for holding the fort till I get here, I Gots this now :cowboy:)
-
Ok, before I continue, I forgot to reply to 1 thing.
RYSE!...... in short... yes the game is shit :laughing7: So all in all, from a reviews standpoint, all the reviews think that the PS4 lineup and Xbox one lineup is similar, but the Xbox One is slightly better. So XBOX 1 PS4 0
I've consulted the oracle. And there isn't a single negative article in my newsreader concerning the Xbox One. Not a single article. No reports of broken consoles, no reports of XBL being down. No reports of HDMI not working. Nothing, zilch, nada. Now that's not saying reports wont eventually crop up, but as of right now, there is nothing. (Don't know where alyuh find them no-name sites to report from, with man reporting just 3 consoles broken, and men refuting they own article by admitting its a joke, yawn, yUh sware alyuh wake up and start googling for "Xbox one failure" lolol.)
Next:
http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-game-changed-between-reviews-and-release-1468750318
Men eh stick nah lolololol.
So to recap:
Game Reviews : Xbox 1 PS4 0
Camera quality : Xbox 2 PS4 0
Mic quality from headset : Xbox 3 PS4 0
Mic quality from Kinect : Xbox 4 PS4 0
Hardware reliability : Xbox 5 PS4 0
Features : Xbox 6 PS4 0
Resolution : Xbox 6 PS4 1
Online : Xbox 7 PS4 1
Upgradability (HDD) : Xbox 7 PS4 2
Take that to bank guys :)
I'll be monitoring my feed for any reports of failures, xbl being down, and the like. And report accordingly.
But so far, it's clear, Xbox launch was better. Now to wait until next year when the real battle begins, The battles of exclusive content.
But seriously, enjoy your console guys, whether it be PS4 or Xbox, we in it to have fun. When I get my Xbox I may or may not do a an unboxing, test xbmc passthrough, etch etc etch, and probably organize some sort of Sweat on GATT. Not many of us have Launch day Xbox, so mite just do ah mini thing with the 4-8 guys who actually have it, and do some game dvr footage for you enjoyment.

What games we running though? Need to know what to buy. I prepared my soon to arrive Xbox with smartglass, this is what I have on the consideration table to buy thus far:
(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/5452/z70k.png)
What I sure I buying is KI and the Fitness stuff and Kiddies stuff like Fighter Within.
Not sure bout the rest like forza, FIFA, NBA 2k etc.
What u getting? wah we sweatin!
-
I have NBA2k14 on PS4 and i can't recommend it enough. If you even slightly interested get it
-
Scene, I now read yUh mini-review on the PS4 thread they.
I'll get it if other men here getting it.
-
Forza 5 for sure, KI of course, also getting BF4 and upgrading my COD Ghosts for $10, NBA 2K14 is a possibility, haven't played a basketball game in awhile, but with Eroo's review there I might give it a shot.
-
Cool. My FPS action taking place on PC, so hard luck there lol.
I'll have to get a wheel for forza though, and the one for Xbox is 400$ ...........so yea lolol, I hada be rel sweating that game to buy it. But I hate racers with controllers. Feels too noob. lol. And I love me my force feedback.
What bout FIFA though? I was a FIFA man back in the day, but haven't kept up with it. I see like FIFA support 4v4 too. On a single Xbox. Did not even know Xbox coulda handle 8 controllers.

Never was a FIFA man, but i might consider it...though i doubt about 8 controllers, it may be 4 vs 4 ONLINE, meaning 4 on one console versus 4 online opponents... that would be too many screens to split on one screen, especially if men gaming on a 22" monitor LOL
-
If that same forza wheel can work on pc, then it mite start making sense.
And FIFA have no splitscreen, so it could work in that game easy.
ANd why I say that is cause on the IGN screen, when they was playing FIFA, and they bring up the side select screen, it had 4 slots on d left, and 4 slots on the right. Let me do some research and see what the real deal is.
-
boom bang
@ messiaah, I thought the XBOX hard drive is also upgradeable? Wasn't that posted in this very thread earlier? Shouldn't that be a tie?
And isn't Killer Instinct free2play? Or did I miss something?
I'll definitely get fighter within.
Would pay good money to see GATT staff square off in Just Dance 2014 @ launch, lol

Hull yuh tail with that Just Dance 2014...LOL
I might have to get a 2nd Xbox One when Harmonix release another Dance Central though...wife loves that game...LOL

Yes, the Xbox HD is replaceable, but not "official" You would void your warranty if you did it. And to be honest, the PlayStation points was looking rely weak, I honestly felt sorry for that column and say, ok, ill give alyuh that one. Charity point of sorts, but you being of the color Red, d'oh want to give them nothing atal eh, :laughing7:
Killer instincts is a different case. Is both F2P and normal. Is ah weird kinda combo. One I love and I think all F2P models should adopt.
Its F2P with all modes and online for Jago. Over time, they are going to cycle that F2P character. So for instance. Dec-March, jago mite be F2P, then March-June mite be orchid, etch etc etc. Each individual character would cost 5$ after that.
BUT!
You can pay 20$ and get the whole game including all Season 1 content that is to come. I.E. Spinal, Fulgore, Story Mode. So 20$ effectively gets you the whole game.
For 40$ you can get the Ultra Ed. Which is the whole game, Plus KI1 Arcade Rom, KI2 Arcade rom, and all the customers etch for the Full Game Characters.
Then if you do the Day-One XBL Gold subscription, you get Shadow Jago for KI.
So that's the model. So is both F2P, and Full Game. It depends on the gamer how they want to tackle it.
I personally going for the Ultra Ed most likely @ 40$.
And Redlum. I'd buy a 2nd Xbox when gears hit, cause wife love gears.

Music to my ears...can't wait for a Gears Game on Xbox One... and well new Halo of course... :) can't wait for E3 to see whats coming

The earlier reported issue where about 4 users had problems with they disc started to make the rounds on other sites. As well as one or 2 other reported issues. Thus far the issues seem extremely minimal with just a handful of reported incidents.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/22/xbox-one-early-adopters-reporting-hardware-problems
As time pass we go see if any such issues become more wide-spread like the Sony "blue light of death" or if it remains just the handful of people.

Santa decided to stop by earlier than expected....Mine is at home, wife texted me a pic. So I will let you know how it goes when I get home later. :)

AH you bastard! lolololol. Like yourself.
And me and ISME now taking in some forza footage, and we not too sure we getting it yet, cause dirt 3 on PC looks better, and the new NFS Rivals looking Bess too. We go see.

Microsoft sold more than one million Xbox One units in first 24 hours
(http://www.wpcentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2013/11/Xbox%20One%20Truck.jpg?itok=wEYot3I8)
"Did you pick up an Xbox One? Microsoft just announced that they’ve sold more than one million consoles in the first 24 hours, so odds are you did. Microsoft is claiming this launch is their biggest in the history of Xbox, sales surpassed the same numbers for the Xbox 360 launch and set new records for Microsoft.
Microsoft also shared a few more interesting stats about the current state of Xbox One games during the same first 24 hour period.
•Over 60 million zombies have been killed in “Dead Rising 3”
•Over 3.6 million miles driven in “Forza Motorsport 5"
•Over 7.1 million combos in “Killer Instinct”
•Over 8.5 million enemies defeated in “Ryse: Son of Rome”
•Over 43.3 million Fit Points earned in “Xbox Fitness”
Pretty big numbers and they’ll only continue to grow as more and more consumers pick up their consoles. Right now, the Xbox One is sold out at most retails, but Microsoft is working hard to replenish stock at all outlets. If you’re still looking for a console you might get lucky with your local stores vs. online retailers. Last we checked, both Amazon and the Microsoft Store were out of stock online. Again, call around if you missed out.

Wow impressive numbers, not as impressive as the ps4 but it's great to see the new consoles doing so well. It shows that the market is hungry for console gaming with both setting record numbers. I hope the wiiu picks up eventually.. Doesn't seem likely though.

With Mario 3d World (which has been getting epic reviews) the recent Zelda remake and the tried and true Nintendo exclusives finally coming out, I'm pretty certain WII U would pick up, how much so only time would tell.
After all the 3ds made a massive turn around in just over a year, and look where it stands now.
The gaming landscape would be an interesting place come this time next year.
-
My first console was a Nintendo and it has a very special place in my childhood memories. It would be awesome of they can pull off a comeback even remotely close to the 3ds.

I'll say this, the 3ds is very epic. Got a 3DS XL for son for Christmas, so been setting it up, installing games etc. and the Library of content on that thing now it just epic. And the Link Between Worlds, just icening on the cake, I buying that game for me :laughing7: If Nintendo can bring a similar barrage of content to the Wii U, I have no doubt it go pick up. But until that happens, I expect sales to remain low, and I don't think Mario alone is enough to drive the sales against PS4/Xbox, I think they need all they guns at once. That will then be a very compelling argument to get a Wii U.
And yes, That game DVR Feature just full of all kinds of win oui. And Wyatt, we need to get embedcode for SkyDrive videos, cause I can guarantee you, there will be a lot more being uploaded in the near future. :)

Ok, I reach. Firstly, rofl @ vice. Wyatt, d man getting vex the Xbox launch was better boy, that's just ranting, hopefully he'll get over it, :laughing7:
Vice.... if that's the way you feel about console wars, why u posting in the first place? You post yUh mind in PS4, yUh post yUh mind in Xbox One. BUt some how saying you too busy playing games and it stupid yet still you put aside your game to participate in the stupid discussion? (yawn)
Now to address alyuh allegations :laughing7:
Firstly, since yesterday evening I've been watching IGN live stream, gearing up for the midnight launch. Whiles doing that, I refresh my youtube subscriptions and my news reader for any relevant news and post accordingly. (I did the EXACT! Same thing for the PS4 launch) Having said that. At no point in time yesterday afternoon to 1am last night, did I see ANYYYYYYY negative news on the Xbox. Let alone those links. Them links comes form sites I never even heard of :laughing7: These are the sites I subscribe to in my newsreader, so if the news didn't come from them, I wouldn't even have seen it yesterday, and I can't exactly post links from the future either. Despite what you mite believe, I'm not ACTUALLY the Messiah :laughing7: (engaget, ign, gamespot, kotacku, joystick, wpcentral,wmpoweruser, slashgear, guru3d, pocketnow) mite be missing ah few from there. But if the "negative" news didn't come from one of those sites last night, I wouldn't even post it.
Next. Since I haven't even had time to buss ah fart for the morning until alyuh start :laughing7:, I ain't read no news yet. So I can't rebut anything alyuh post until then, so give me ah while. What I could responded to is the USB thing.
That USB thing totally understandable why MS will ban man. The USB thing went live like 11pm Wednesday night, and was pulled an hr later. My guess is, somebody accidentally published the site, and MS had it prepared as a backup incase what happen to Sony happen to them. So men who hot on d trigger, (ME INCLUDED :) ), download the USB flash files, and stash it one side. I did not post that information, because I was waiting on my download to finish to verify it, and by time I was going to post d link, it was pulled. So did not bother. So technically is not an MS sanctioned procedure yet. And if Live having no issues, why would you use the USB anyways? Bottom line is, there is no such site to go to to upgrade from USB key. So if you play hero and want to bypass XBL using a method that no longer sanctioned, then who u want to blame?
And at hardware failures, yes vice, we all understand that every new product mite have hardware failures. But 10,000 Units failing is not acceptable in my book. That is way too many, whether it be 1% or not. And 10,000 is a far cry from the 3.
So far there have been about 3 reports of this failure so there is no need to blow this out of proportion yet.
On a sunnier note. The Xbox launch was brilliant, FAR and a ways better than Sony's launch. MS put out some money for that boy. Very entertaining, and very cool things they did for promotion, like the cars, d zombies, taking over time square, they lit up some building green in some country, cool stuff right round. In comparison d PlayStation launch was boring.
O , and there was a dude that close to 1million gamer score, he had to play Japan consoles all kinda thing to get up there, MS give him a limited edition white Xbox, with a first of it's kind XBL Gold lifetime subscription card. Is cool lil things like that that made this event cool. MS learning how to market. And MS post on twitter congratulating Sony on they launch, Sony did the opposite, Sony post and say why go 720 when u can have 1080.....really?....and just so everyone clear, the Xbox does have 1080, some of the launch titles running 1080.
....Now....im going to consult the oracle, and see what "negative" news there is on the Xbox. From known proper sites..:laughing7:
(Thanks Wyatt for holding the fort till I get here, I Gots this now :cowboy:)
u does just post for posting sake or just naturally retarded?
where i vex about xbox when i said im gettin one? fell one too many times on yuh when u was small?
pretty sure anyone reading my posts in here especially the last one can just see sarcasm written all over it basically making a parody of what u were doin last week.
As for xbox problems there are many reports of it as well just like ps4.
That is a cop out.
In case you weren't paying attention there are many avid console gamers on forums the world over.
This one included.
I personally have learned more about both next gen consoles from reading the back and forth between advocates on GATT.
Removing your voice from the equation is a disservice to the members who would be interested in what you have to say.
Especially coming from the first staff member to own a PS4!
Better than that.
what makes u think i like tolerating retards and ignorance? im sure u could remember me and awesome and how that was lol
ive been on many gaming forums and yes there are many avid console gamers most of which make me wanna punch a baby when i read their bs
Im leader of a competitive gaming clan and leader of a gaming community u really think i have the time and patience to sit and forum warrior with a wall?
im all up for intelligent discussions which i participate in for various games with various ppl
sitting down and saying X console better than Y is just retarded imho
ppl seem to think the way to promote their console or "inform" ppl about their console preference is by puttin down and taking shots at the other platform. Never once anyone asking me what i think about playstation have i said well it bess much better than shitbox or taking any type of jabs i try to keep shit relevant
This forum and local community in general has alot of problems
ever wonder why is mainly the same ppl posting and no new ppl looking to stick around on the forums and why the fb grp is more active?
partly cuz ppl lazy and also site isnt very welcoming unless ur in the PC clique. Console side pretty much dead on here which was 1 of the reasons i was away for a year. There is 0 sense of community on here while alot of ppl actually do own consoles and when 1st timers come on here and 1st thing they see is ppl arguing (not discussing just plain arguing lol) over consoles what encouragement do they have to return or integrate into the community
-
what encouragement do they have to return or integrate into the community
Well with a post like that, absolutely none lol. I was going to delete it eh, but decide to leave it up for men to see an example of a "retard" and "ignorannce" lol. If another moderator want to remove, feel free.
Moving along....
-
So wa wrong with bashing a man choice in gaming tools. The only "problem" is when men can't face facts and resort to calling people ignorant because they have no better argument. I feel you need a nex year off oui.
PS: PC>alllll. Console is just the one foot retarded brother.
-
Wow @ vice
You need to study some mahatma bro. Be the change in the world and all that good stuff.
If you are a leader. ....lead by example.
What you just posted there....again...wow.
Not exactly an inspirational piece for new comers to follow.
Was just telling the other staff members how much potential the next gen holds and people like you are key in that being realized but outburts like above are very counter productive towards that goal.
All it takes are a few good men.

I'm noticing a lot of reviewers are still using the old Kinect commands on the XBOX One Kinect
"XBOX..." waits for prompt on screen "Go to Battlefield 4". You just say "XBOX go to Battlefield 4". Saying it the "old" way accounts for the "response problems" people are having. theres a bigass tutorial you can watch on the menu explaining the commands very easily.

ps4 is de way to go xbone like it takin steps back.
-
Ok, I now get time to reply to them times.
Alyuh need to understand exactly what you looking at with them times. That's the time it taking before the game playable, So it don't mean the PS4 installing the games to completion in a few seconds. Unless they using some Blu-Ray drive from the future that could copy shit that fast lol. So what's happening on the PS4, is a little bit of the game is installing, and I'm guessing the game is being played off the disc at that point (like PS3), so load times and access to everything will be slow. Because the PS4 will have to continue installation in the background, whiles feed you content from what you trying to access simultaneously. So PS4 working like a traditional disc-based game that doesn't require install, whiles installing in the background.
Xbox working different, Xbox not letting you play anything form the disc at all. So when the game is in playable form, they ensure what you're playing loads fast from the internal HD. Because they only providing you access to play what actual already copied to the HD. If you using an All-Digital system, the PS4 will work the same way. So if you buy Killzone digital, that wont be playable in 30 seconds. You'll still have to wait for the content to download.
So @ Wyatt, if you going disc-less, both consoles will work almost the same way. Which is how Steam works.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv-wXG99t1k
Here's a video example of getting up and running in KI from an unboxing.
So @ Trinishaq, i wont call it steps backward, they just do it different, Sony provides the disc as playable media. MS always intended to do all-digital, so an Xbox One disc working mostly like a PC game, you can't actually play d game off the disc, is just installation media. Both approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages. But how kotaku put it across, yUh sware the PS4 installing a full game in 30 secs and Xbox taking 10min lol.
Anyways, for disc-less men, this wont matter either way. So you can relax now Wyatt lol.
-
Dan with ps4 while you playin you not even studyin what goin on in the background. Killzone a 34Gb game yuh download 7 gigs first then yuh could play it while the rest downoad. Doh even put it in the same boat with xbox system. Dat is last gen thing xbox on.
Dawg back out xbox loss here.
-
Whether Xbox win or loss in this particular scenario pointless. That ain't enough to choose a ps4 over Xbox lololol.
That's just one of many areas PS4 get pwn on. And this particular area wont even matter to the majority of people.
So you can take win on that feature, even being able to stream the game from disc whiles the rest happen in the background with limited speed mite be what people want.
But that is not no big feature that going to matter.
You install a game once and that's it. Who giving up Xbox features to get to start a game 5-10 minutes sooner?
And once both games installed, the launch times is d same on both consoles.
Is not a big deal, relax lol.

I believe the article was understood. As I recall the lengthy install times and updates on the ps3 was an issue for many. I remember popping in mgs4 and not being able to play for over half and hour. I for one find it a big deal to pop in a game and be able play in under a minute. So while it may not be a big deal for you, many others in the gaming community may beg to differ.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk

Well actually that was a big deal for me too. Well, the part about updates anyways. I don't mind if the game take 10 minutes to install, that's perfectly fine, I could go get a drink and come back and it ready. 10 minutes is no issue Aral for a 1 time affair, even 15 would be fine. But the issue I had with old system is the UPDATES, lawd , having to wait and hr or more for a game to update just to play was rely gay.
But both consoles fix that issue with all digital content. So my Xbox going to work just like steam. Download game, and it always remain updated. So I know anytime I press play in the future, I don't have to wait.
But I guess if you still relying on discs, that minor 10 minute wait when you starting a new game could be irritating. But I don't see people rushing out in droves to fling way they Xbox for that feature.

NO one said it was an xbox killer lol, where you get that? It is however an advantageous feature that will turn a few heads. I wouldnt downplay the merits of this feature as many console gamers are not yet willing to enter this all digital download era.

ps4 is de way to go xbone like it takin steps back.
This dude said its an xbone killer.... causing meh monkey gland to raise :laughing7:
But anyways, it's a good feature nonetheless. Always better to have more than less. Even if you ain't gonna use it.
-
Dan saying something is bs doh mean system killer. Trust meh de xbox go die on its own.
Plus, ah fine for ah pc fella yuh real defensive boi. Fanboy in disguise?
-
Well the Xbox works exactly like it does on pc.... so for a Pc Gamer, its no different, no big deal to me..
And I tell alyuh aready when I does get defensive, I does get defense when I seeing cussing getting level for no reason. If its a good feature and something you want, great.
But saying ps4 is d way to go, Xbox taking steps backwards, because of this one feature, ah mean really? Is not that big of a deal.
And if you honestly think the Xbox go die sum wrong with u lolol. The sales double that of 360. Neither console going anywhere. And as much as I think Xbox is superior to the PS4, I ain't gonna say some crap like ps4 going to dead......lololol. Both consoles will have long productive lives. One product don't have to dead for d other to make it.
If yUh say d Wii u going to dead, ok, that's another story. But then their are arguments to be made for that console once Nintendo Triple A titles hit. But with the dismal sales of the Wii u so far, ill faster meet yUh halfway on that one.

And all that 100 mil Sony sell, yet still they don't make any profit on PlayStation. :laughing7: And is time for Xbox to dead you say? Rofl lmao rofl.
And if there wasn't an Xbox, could u imagine the state of the industry now? We'd just have the Wii U and PS4. And PS4 I guarantee, wouldn't be as good as it is now, Competition forces companies to put forward their best work.
If it wasn't for Sony, Microsoft would be raping everybody with DRM now. And if it wasn't for XBL, you wouldn't be enjoying all the free games you currently are on PSN.
It will be extremely bad for gamers if either PlayStation or Xbox die.
Choice as consumers are our greatest weapon, remove that, and just give us 1 option, and yUh have to spread cheeks to accept deeper ramming.
Don't know why man does be fighting down Microsoft so nah lololol. Alyuh men should be happy they around.
As man see an opportunity, is level buss eye for MS, and uncle bill smiling ear to ear just raking in d money whiles alyuh cussing him, :laughing7:
I hope Sony's next 100mil actually earn them some profit this time, :laughing7: (Ah see OCZ declare bankruptcy, men falling like flies boy ways, Sony betters watch theyself, they could be next :)). Sony dint report ah 100million dolor loss recently?, and didn't they market cap drop by some 2.2 billion? Yea boy, Xbox really going and dead soon :laughing7:

VERY skewed reviews from even sites doing visual comparison. Its hilarious that they use off the shelf software to test Framerate issues when dev is using in engine/cpu/gpu real time graphs.

Yes, I don't think any gamer worth his salt doesn't already know that the PC platform is far superior than consoles.
Horsepower and Graphics wise.
Granted, that is on a US$1500 gaming machine and not your regular $399 bargain basement variety.
Still amazes me how much horsepower they can cram into those little machines at a giveaway price.
Earning them a spot in living rooms the world over.

A gaming PC more capable of than the Xbox can be built for significantly less, 500$ price range. Doesn't have to be a $1500 rig.

A few more hoops to jump through, but upgrading the first-edition 360s' HDDs required similar shenanigans.

Such a PC would not qualify for the master race and would become obsolete by "PC Gaming" standards in very short course.
I don't think a $500 PC could even breach the top 20 in our 3DMark leaderboard.
-
Fully agreed with all of that, and that's just a testament to how much better a PC is than a console. But the point here is, you don't have to have a "master race" pc to experience PC gaming in a form that still better than a console.
Yuh regular old budget rigs could wash a console backside at the same resolution the console running. And still provide u with all the benefits of running a full desktop OS.
And if you want, you still have the flexibility to increase graphics according to how much you willing to dish out.
And if 2 years past and you have a lil spare change, u can always upgrade GPU for more graphics, and not have to wait 5-7 more years for another console.
Point is, one of consoles greatest bonuses was low price, but that's no longer the case. PC tech advance too far and too fast. Things cheap and accessible now. Bar for entry drastically lowered.
-
A $400/500 pc could pump out console quality for 5-7 years? No dips in quality what so ever? How about a $250 pc to run TLoU or Beyond 2 Souls or Halo 4?

Are you saying that all there is to a good gaming experience is superior graphics? It always puzzles me when ppl say this. So if games like Mario, Zelda, Uncharted etc. were made for PC they would be more fun? The experience would be somehow enhanced? Gaming goes beyond horsepower and graphics. If you believe having a more powerful rig that delivers higher resolution and whatnot equates to superior gaming you are living in the past.
PC gaming is just less convenient..period, and this is the major advantage that consoles have over gaming PC's (not price).The average Joe Gamer (like me) couldn't be bothered to go through the hassle of putting a gaming PC together, updating drivers, upgrading GPU, optimizing settings, hardware compatibility etc. In fact i'm sure the average Joe gamer would have no clue where to start. Do not assume that gamers are techies.
When I want to play a video game I don't want to have to worry about these things. I like being able to sit down with my console under my TV, press a button on my controller, and play a game that was built specifically to run on this exact machine the same way it was built to run on everyone else who I'm playing with's machine. There's (virtually) no cheating online, there's no optimization to deal with, everyone is experiencing the same thing. It's simple, it's easy, and that's what I want when I'm playing video games.
The benefits of PC gaming just do not outweigh the convenience of playing on a console for most people. It's cheaper, it's easier, and you have a box that is specifically targeted and optimized by game developers for 5-10 years...you never have to worry about it.
I'm not saying that PC gaming isn't great (and getting better, too). I'm not saying that it isn't more enjoyable for some people. Its just annoying when ppl make the assumption everyone else just hasn't been "enlightened" yet and are "peasants" cuz they prefer the convenience of a console (which mind you is a simple PC designed for gaming).
There are plenty of arguments for and against both console gaming & PC gaming, but saying outright that gaming is "much better" on PC than on console comes across a bit childish to me and is counterproductive to the unified gaming community i believe this forum is trying to achieve..sorry.
-
What raise your monkey gland boy? lololol.
I'll respond:
No, all to a good experience is not just graphics, it have games with epic graphics (crysis) that I personally find is mess. So no, that's not what I saying. But if there is a cross platform game, that game will be better on PC. That's what i'm saying. so AC4 on xbox ps and pc, d pc version will look better. Anybody denying that stupid. And I personally want the better experience, in that case, better graphics = better game.
The same Mario and Zelda you talking bout, if it was avialble on PC, id never play it on console. Hell, I even played Skyward Sword on PC...and I ....wait for it.....bought! the game, I have d gold disc. and a wii to play it on. But I play it on PC, why? because it look significantly better EMULATED! than it did on the wii. Better Graphics in that case = Better Game, Better experience.
I have a new analogy I like to use to help ppl understand the mind that is a PC gamer.
If you ask a man, which car better, between ah Kia and ah Mustang, which he go say? Id say d mustang. Why? cuase is a beast. But then their are arguments that can be made for the kia. It cheaper, more economical, easier to drive, etc etc etc. But ask any car man which he'd choose, he'd never choose ah kia. Then there are d men who does mod they cars, with turbo and all kinda jazz. D average joe would say that wasting time, doh need that, blah blah blah. But d car man would put in he sweat and come out with ah car that go eat yours any day. Mite not be d most convenient thing in d world, but is fun, and performance hella-better than yUh stock kia.
That's Console vs PC in a nutshell.
I not expecting everybody in the world to go around driving Bugatti, no, it have car for the masses, it name kia, and Toyota. Just like it have a place for console. But a high end PC to a console, is a Bugatti to a Kia. When comes down to performance and getting on, it better, period.
Consoles only good for 2 things. 1: Exclusives 2: Plebs who could care less.
If Killer Instincts was available on PC id never buy an xbox. And if Zelda was available on PC id never buy a wii.
Point is, one of consoles greatest bonuses was low price, but that's no longer the case. PC tech advance too far and too fast. Things cheap and accessible now. Bar for entry drastically lowered.
I did not say console greatest advantage is price, I said ONE OF, console greatest advantage is convenience, price is another. But price no longer a factor since PCs get so damned cheap. And the convenience factor of a console drastically dropping as well. Drivers? what chu talking bout willis? If u have AMD card, steam auto-updates those. And if u have Nvidia, the Ge-forece experience app monitors and updates drivers automatic. Them thing is long time thing. PCs getting much more reliable, and with steam doing everything for u now, much easier. And certain aspects are MORE convenient than consoles. I much rather turn on my tv, and press the xbox button on my controller, to go in steam big-picture mode, and choose any game and press play, than to go huntin for a disc of a game I want to insert and play. The next-gen of consoles now starting to really try to get where PC is on the digital front, and they not their yet, by a longshot. Also, Price. PC's mite be slightly more expensive, but d games HELA! Cheaper!. Over this weakend, I buy 5 games for d price id pay for 1 console game. D sameeeeee games. I buy rayman legends and lego marvel for a few dollars. Same exact game on next-gen is 60$............craziness.
So as you said, their are arguments that can be made for and against both.
But the bottom line is. If you take d same exact game, and put it on a pc, the game will cost less, and look better.
A $400/500 pc could pump out console quality for 5-7 years? No dips in quality what so ever? How about a $250 pc to run TLoU or Beyond 2 Souls or Halo 4?
Yes, ill explain. As consoles increase in life. PC tech increases, so games on PC looks better and better, that is why, any game release will easily look better on that generation of PC hardware. PC always ahead. But if u build a pc and 5 years past. obviously it wont run the game to d same level as a pc of that generation. But if u disable d same things u disable on a console, and run it at d same resolution it runs on a console. D PC will still cut ass. The next generation of consoles barely managing to run games at 1080p. A 500$ pc from 4 years ago mite not be capable, because PC tech didn't advance that far yet. But the 500$ PCs of today, will be very capable of doing that, because PC tech of today, just so far beyond what a console can offer. much less for PC tech of next year. When ddr4/x79/haswell-e hit. Lawd of mercy. Any budget rig of 2014/2015 will be so far ahead next-gen console it wont even be funny lolol. See how crappy AC4 looks on ps3/xbox 360? Is d same crappy way it go look on a 5 year old pc. But try to run it looking like how it looks on xbox one, and obviously d pc wont run it. Once u adjust d settings to suit, d PC will be just fine.
And that's budjet shit I talking bout. Eh talking bout no Byugatti yet.
And just as d Kia men go never understand why somebody would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy ah Lamborghini, or ah Ferrari, or install turbo, and cold-air intakes, etc etc. Is d same way a console gamer will never understand the mind that is d Master Race.
Jah, I talk too damn much, excuse d length of d post.

Well messiah, how people go buy ps4 if it sell out all over?
-
Who problem is that? lolol. Point is MS selling more right now. cause they smart enough to ramp up production to satisfy demand. And the 360 double the sales of the PS3 as well, i'm quite sure the PS3 aint out of stock.
Always some excuse eh lololol. Man cant see xbox doing well and say, yea boy, they selling in true. Always some stupid retort.
When men sell 1 million in 24hrs, d retort was..."they sold that world-wide, sony sales was in north America" as if it made a difference, if sony chose to sell more of their stock in US/Canada and MS chose to distribute across d globe don't make a different to d amount either sell. Both sell around d same so far. lolololol. 1 Million sold on mars, and 1 million sold in US is d same 1 million.
But again, sony is caught with they pants down. First not enough servers to satisfy PSN, now not enough consoles to satisfy buyers. :laughing7: Non of which has anything to do with PS3 stock :laughing7: carry on.
-
Ramp up production? Lol, more like nobody buying.
ps4 have at least a mil lead over xbone in sales last ah check.So that means sony meetin more demand than micro.
http://gearnuke.com/xbox-one-day-one-edition-still-available-purchase-microsofts-ebay-webstore/
How it is these still available, unless maybe idk, they not sellin?
-
It had stores that were sold out of "day-one-edition" consoles, and get more for black Friday sales. That proves nothing. What evidence you have that sony sales mildy ahead of xbox?
I just post a very tangible stat of sale performance of xbox units vs PlayStation units. Collectively the xbox holds 60% of for the sales market share from blackfriday, sony holds 30%
Find some numbers to back up your claim and post that nah.
Quoted from your very article:
Update: This was quick. The listing appeared and then quickly went out of stock within an hour with approximately 800 consoles sold.
Incase that wasn't plain enough, they were instantly sold out when they were made available........
"yawn"

-
You want numbers, ah go bring them next week when they count in EU sales for ps4.But just remember ps4 sold just as much as xbone did in 13 countries in just usa and canada.So yuh sure yuh want to go the numbers route?
-
Did I not just point out those numbers don't necessarily mean jack squat?
Sony barely have enough consoles available to service ah black Friday sale....lololol. It don't matter which part of d whole d sale made. In the begging stages of a console launch, every unit produced will be sold. both PS4/Xbox One sold out EVERYWHERE! MS just managing to produce more, and put on sale, and that stock only lasting an hr at best before all gone. So as MS make consoles they flying off shelves. Whoever could keep up with that production better, is who going to sell more at d end of this launch window.
D real battle go start mid next year, when launch window rush done, to see how sustained sales of the console going.
So yes bob, I want to go d numbers route, because you have no numbers to back up anything right now, just assumption and propaganda, and want to shit in xbox face, at least have some kinda facts to backup d fowl smell nah :laughing7:
If next week sony some how manage to have another million console produced that sold in the EU then ill happily say, yea boy, sony outselling them. But right now that's just not the case. And going off of available US numbers, MS selling more.
Now until you have said numbers.....

U seriously doubtin sony go pull ah mil out ah eu? Then it still have japan to go. The numbers will not side with micro
-
I not doubting sony's ability to sell all they units....I doubting they ability to produce that much to sell.
Both companies target to sell about 5 million units at the end of the quarter. If sony want to focus all of that on US first, then hit EU, then hit Japan....it makes no difference. If MS want to sell it in quantities of 250k batches spread out.
Ah don't think you grasping where I coming from. So lets not carry on with ah back and fort, i'll just wait until you have them figures for me...
-
Microsoft has stock of the xbox one, with this bundle only:
http://holiday.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/html/pbPage.PDP/Xbox-One-Day-One-Ultimate-Bundle/productID.293600500?siteID=AKGBlS8SPlM-fVuJsuz2bQ8H9htKV.lEQA
-
So, TriniGamerShaq, the UK numbers starting to roll in, and while impressive, ain't all that:
According to MCV's retail sources, the PlayStation 4 sold 250k units in its first 48 hours on sale.
For comparison, the Xbox One sold approximately 150,000 units in the first 48 hours
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/02/playstation-4-is-the-uks-fast-selling-console-in-history
So that's a 100k lead in the UK, not the million you was predicting, and like I was trying to point out above, this don't mean anything, it just means Sony sell 100k more in the first 48hrs in the UK. Worldwide sales is what matters. And so far both Sony and MS selling around the same number of consoles. Where those sales happening is irrelevant, if MS want to stagger their inventory globally and Sony wan to focus on more US/UK/Japan sales don't matter. Anything either of them make no will be sold-out. Who could make more consoles go sell more during launch window.
And MS look like they can keep up with demand.
Anyways, when the quarter finish we go see what the final figures look like.
-
UK ain't EU brother.
So sony beatin them in every market so far.
NA-Ps4/1,000,000 Xbone/700,000
UK-Ps4/250,000 Xbone/150,000
Worldwide not goin and look good for micro if their 2 most favourable markets already belong to sony.
Lord alone could help them in japan come 2014.
-
Well like I say, when final figures at the end of the quarter come out, we go see.

Shaq ain't pullin no punches boy.

The funny thing is, men hate MS so bad, they calling doom and gloom on ms.
I never say MS go outsell Sony, but I not expecting the "death of the Xbox one" like Shaq lololol.
Man swore all Xbox go dead.
But with sales figures like that, who in they right mind could think that....
I fully expecting the sales numbers between both to be similar at the end of the first quarter, hell, mite even give a lead to Sony since they console 100$ cheaper. But every console made between now and march is already sold. It is going to sell. There is no doubt that everything MS and Sony make is GOING to sell.
But men hate MS so much they completely reject logic. So at d end of d day, if Sony end up selling ah 500k more units than MS, that mean Xbox dead? lololol.
On blackfriday alone Ms outsell Sony by ah whopping 30%. These tides could change so fast and so easy.
Like I said before, if it was Wii u sales figures, then ok. But MS and Sony going toe-to-toe this holiday. Anybody thinking otherwise need help.
-
We all know this is PS country, but at the end of the day neither going anywhere anytime soon.

Seems to be only on Microsoft Store, the regular console is sold out, only Bundles available. Amazon has none...

You not seeing any of those consoles in proper stock till January for the earliest I'll say.
Mite have limited quantities available right before Christmas, and they will sell out instantly.

Yh really. Sony sellin out so they tryin to look the same way. The only place to get one just happen to be from them in ah bundle? that doh lolk like ah money grab dey?
Another thing if sony sellin more but yet both ah dem 'sell out', that doh mean sony at a higher production level?

Dude.... you need help.... Yea... Really.

Yes, that part is accurate. And that's what I say long time. Whoever make more consoles over the next quarter, will determine who sell more, because every last unit is going to be sold from both Sony and MS inventory. So whoever plan to sell more, and setup they shops to produce more, and who actually make more, will obviously sell more for the next quarter. So if MS don't ramp up productions, they will get wax for the first quarter.
Then after that, phase 2 of the battle will start, once initial demand has been fulfilled. So I guessing they would more or less equalize in # of sales some time mid next year. Then you have the sustained continued sales phase. Then you have the last 2 years of the generation phase.
Is plenty phases to go before we could see who win. We will only know who win at the end of the generation. The tech media collectively agree Xbox 360 won the last generation. Who win the next, going to take ah while. But so far, Sony is undoubtedly in the lead, cause they producing more units.

Microsoft's Xbox One topped the retail sales charts this Black Friday, according to Infoscout's projection. The data was collected from 102,000 tracked receipts from major North American retailers, such as Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart. Xbox One allegedly made up 31% of the console sales, with Xbox 360 following up at 30%. PS3 and PS4 apparently represented 15% of the retailer's sales. Wii U comprised 6%, while the original Wii only made up 1% of tracked sales.
Sony's worldwide sales for PlayStation 4 exceeded 2.1 million this week, more than doubling its 24 hour debut, thanks in part to launching in the UK on November 29. Xbox One sold 1 million units worldwide in its first 24 hours, but Microsoft has yet to announce its Black Friday results.
The thing young still yet man. It have a few punches to be thrown before the quarter finish.

I checked Amazon stock 30 minutes ago, it read 454, I just checked it again and they now have over 1000, ( can't Check exact number once it cross 1000). So seems MS presently increasing they stock as we speak.

Microsoft Selling "Every Xbox One We Can Make"
Demand is "far exceeding" supply.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/12/04/microsoft-selling-every-xbox-one-we-can-make
-
A nice hot contradicting sandwich thanks to microsoft and messiah.
Firstly, Microsoft recently stated they have sold out at all retailers, yet as you can see that is a steaming pile of bs.Prime example of Microsoft making the demand seem higher than it actually is.Sad.
Now to you. A few posts back you pointed out something like, these consoles gonna be selling as fast as they made. So whoever produce more sell more.Since sony selling more that means they have higher production yields.Yet now you try to spin this batch of ps4 selling faster than xbox by saying microsoft suddenly producing more.
It so hard to accept Sony have this lock Messiah? As much as yuh want to be Microsoft white knight just accept the ps4 is trampling the xbox.
How can demand be exceeding supply when yuh could find one? When D>S Price goes up as seen with the ps4 not xbox.
-
'Trampling' is such a strong word though. :laughing7:
I'd say Sony ahead by a little bit...but only just.

I really don't know what is trinishaq problem u know, I already say Sony ahead, I already say they ahead because they producing more consoles, and I say they go remain ahead if MS can't cetch up in supply. Just last week d Xbox was going for 1000$ on amazon, if Microsoft provide them stock, OF CORSE IT GO BE AVAILABLE!, but not for long....
I just check, ALLL GONE!
And that is what I say, anything any of them make WILLLLLLLL sell. If Sony give amazon 100 units and they gone in 25 minutes, and MS give them 10,000 and it gone in ah night, who are we to know? The point is them units not staying in stock. Does that mean amazon go never get back stock? Of corse not, some time next week, there will be a new batch of units, and amazon go "suddenly" get stock.
That is not no conspiracy theory , that's supply / demand. Something you completely do not understand.
I have no idea why u singing Microsoft doom and gloom, like Arcman pointed out, Sony is ahead, but only just. Trying to make it out as anything else, you're just being an idiot.
Don't let your hate for Microsoft cause u to talk shit, because u rel piling it on.

Yea, AMD move smart, they had to do something to keep them relevant cause NVIDIA was cutting they arse. That is ah nice move there to guarantee income for the next 5-10 years. Just making NVIDIA hit PC market harder, which I'm a big fan of. So this is one of the rare occasions where what happening with console will actually aid PC lol.

So Messiah, since you have the Xbox one now for a few days, how about your impressions, what features you like etc...etc..
-
MessiaaH i really doubt you teabag the man after that match,hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha
-
So Messiah, since you have the Xbox one now for a few days, how about your impressions, what features you like etc...etc..
Aye I forget to edit and upload that unboxing vid oui, have some initial impressions in that, let me work on that now. And since owning it for a couple days my thoughts are as followed:
The voice interface is IMPRESSIVE! Once you get used to using Kinect voice, it's hard to go back. On rare occasions I does have to repeat myself, but for 90% of the time, the xbox just does what I say right away. Today I was lie down feeling lazy, and wanted to watch some Netflix. Control was far. I just say...Xbox Goto Netflix. Select Profile 1 (sign in with my Netflix profile), Xbox Select 1 (first series in my recent watch)....began playing the series I was watching from d ep I reach....GG. Xbox Pause/Play etc also worked. Recording clips with gamedvr rel epic too. Xbox Record that. using that a lot.
Killer Instinct also keeps a history of all your matches, so I could later go back and record entire matches from the replay.
Apart from Killer, Netflix, and GameDVR, I hardly use anything else, so when I start using more stuff ill comment on that.
As far as KI goes, it's every much as epic as I hoped, I love the game, and will spend many ah hours in it. Worth every penny just for that 1 game.
Also Kinect is BRILLIANT for chat. Every KI game I play, just used Kinect voice chat, and I heard everything clearly, opponent heard me clearly, and we did not get any feed-back from each others speakersystem. No headset required. This new Kinect just epic. And when I in a party and match start, and party snapped to right, I just say "Xbox Unsnap" to go fullscreen. When sweat done. "Xbox Leave Party" done. The voice commands makes thing so quick and fluid and a brilliant experience all round. I hardly ever use d controller to navigate the xbox. This system really is nextgen.
O, and that Killer Instinct Netcode...WOW! I get lag in maybe...2 games...d rest...NO LAG! a real-time lag free online fighting game with men from all over the world, whether Trinidad, cayman, states, England, it all just wok bess. That is d most impressive thing I see so far. Allowing killer instinct that required precise timing, to just work flawlessly in an online setting.
There are some initial quirks with the box, but they are mostly related to HTPC use for Audiophiles which I cover in the video ill upload soon.
-
MessiaaH i really doubt you teabag the man after that match,hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaha
ROFL LMAO, after a match still having control of the character ah does get ah itching need to do something. rofl.

nice @ first impressions
What is noteworthy to me, is that for a person accustomed to the highest end gaming PC available, worth over $3000+, you are still impressed with a $499 console

But every match I had with RedlumTT , Guy from Cayman, and Lindon (not sure where he located), we were using party chat, and everything was fine. And I had more matches with those guys than online, and it had no lag, and no syncing issues. So as far as my experience, the netcode is indeed epic.

Hey can you make a video showing how Kinect voice commands perform with our accent? Interested in seeing how useful it is for us non americans.

I'm currently in the process of uploading the video when we test XBMC pass-through via laptop through xbox.
Throughout all the vids, you'll hear us speaking to the xbox and we comment on it's performance throughout.
If you want a specific video, I guess I can do that, but we really test it a lot when we got into media features of xbox, xbmc, Netflix, bluray, etc etc.
It actually have a very impressive section, where I spoke to the xbox with the volume in the room extremely loud. So lookout for that, that particular vid may be uploaded tomorrow.

I sent one to Messiah the other day (was kinda loud since I had surround sound running). but if you drop the Port of Spain accent it works fine

For the Naysayers, cough, trinigamershaq, cough.:
Xbox One Sells 2 Million Consoles Globally in 18 Days
Microsoft has announced it's sold over 2 million Xbox One consoles since its launch 18 days ago on November 22.
That's after releasing in 13 markets on that date, including North America, the UK and Australia. Proud owners of the new console have spent over 83 million hours in games, TV and apps on the console, unlocking 39 million achievements and 595 million Gamerscore.
It was also revealed that peak demand saw the console being ordered at over 1,000 units per minute from Amazon.
10 days ago on December 1, Sony announced it had sold over 2.1 million PS4s after launching a week earlier than Xbox One in North America on November 15, where it sold 1 million units in 24 hours. It went on to launch in Europe and Australia on November 29, picking up 700,000 sales by December 1 and becoming the UK's fastest-selling console of all time.
A key fact to take into account is the fact that the PS4 is available in 32 countries, which is 19 more than the 13 territories you can get an Xbox One.
Both consoles have had wildly successful launches, with the chances of both shipping 5 million by the end of March as EA predicted looking ever more likely.

Looking good, I was planning on getting a PS4 but if that Kinect works as well as everyone says it might just sway me :p
-
Wait till you see the next video, a very impressive showing of Kinect.
-
How i used it (for KI I had the speakers LOUD, but still picks up audio). You dont need to say "XBOX..." and wait for a prompt then say "...Go to Netflix"..... just say it plainly. Also im a bit far, thats against a projector on a 15 foot wall.

Yea, d doubles test did not work, wish it had though, I could really use that feature lolololol.
And d video I uploading right now, have a very impressive showing of Kinect. It go be up in like 1-2hrs.

Xbox One Sells 2 Million Consoles Globally in 18 Days
Microsoft has announced it's sold over 2 million Xbox One consoles since its launch 18 days ago on November 22.
That's after releasing in 13 markets on that date, including North America, the UK and Australia. Proud owners of the new console have spent over 83 million hours in games, TV and apps on the console, unlocking 39 million achievements and 595 million Gamerscore.
It was also revealed that peak demand saw the console being ordered at over 1,000 units per minute from Amazon.
10 days ago on December 1, Sony announced it had sold over 2.1 million PS4s after launching a week earlier than Xbox One in North America on November 15, where it sold 1 million units in 24 hours.

Well, can't just say something like that and move along.
First of all we have this article here.
http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/12/12/ps4-top-selling-next-gen-platform-in-november-on-npd/
This was expected.
But then we have this
http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/12/12/npdxbox-one-is-the-fastest-selling-next-gen-console-of-november-sold-909123-in-first-9-days/
First let we ignore this blatant lie considering Sony sell 1 mil in a day.900, 000 in 9 days mean 100000 a day, seem like a real nice even number, nothing weird dey. /s
Now to the final point, you wasn't the same man saying the amount ah countries doh matter is who could supply more?
-
Really dude?
I was d man who say they are both going to sell all, and both aiming for 5mil by march, and that neither one going to have a big lead over d other, and that this battle not going to be decided at launch. I is d man who say people who crying doom and gloom for ms don't know what they talking bout.
That's d take away from what I post, that you was talking shit......i try to be political, but like u wanted me to come out and say it.
Anyways.... moving on.

Hahaha
Those sale estimates are fuzzy logic, always have been.
Messiaah, it really takes some technical know how to deal with the xbox and xbmc.
Wish it were dog easy. Still, for SD content, it works and that is decent enough.
Saves having to switch inputs for the less savvy family members.
However, since the xbox only has one hdmi in....what happens for your regular TV feed? Or is that you don't have cable otherwise?
-
Wyatt I dont use cable lololpl,
And for bothnsd and HD content is fine, once u dont use truehd or a dedicated receiver u good

-
wow. Ever thought of using some OTA antennae to get some free local content at least?
lol @ does the xbox one blend
I don't have cable/local content because I don't want it.
-
yes, but did you ever consider it for other people in the household? I don't want to be selfish and just pull the plug cold turkey on others. lol
Hoping someone implemented a solution that provides the best of both worlds.
Local content is free OTA, so that could fill the void nicely.
Most people I've spoken to haven't been able to bridge that gap though and just give up on local altogether.
The search continues.
-
I had cable before and nobody used it, waste of money, so why bother?
Local content have nothing for nobody in my circle loll. Cable have stuff, but it dont have anything that I dont already have or can't already get, or not on Netflix. I really dont see d point. And like I said, it was there for ah year and unused...., who have time to sit down through adds, watching shit quality and all that lol. It have HD stations, but still, cud get that elsewhere.
Also, I haven't watched TV since Saturday mor ing cartoon and sesame street when I was a kid. This generation of kid, have access to all that and more ondemand. D amount of kid series and shows my son does find on Netflix, and what not their, like yugioh , Pokémon etch, I just get elsewhere .
Local content?

Lol @ blend. Nice video! It woulda been cool if Netflix had voice commands for search. Perhaps better integration will come in future updates.
-
Yes, voice commands for in-app searching would be cool. Actually, voice commands for in-app anything would be cool. I'd love to say "Join Ranked Match" in killer instinct and just have it do it. Or if KI not even started, just say, "Xbox Goto Killer Instinct Ranked Match" We go see how the system develops over time, but hate performance of Kinect voice, there is tons of potential for that.

It have other areas of Microsoft business where u can clearly say, they struggling in (windows phone), and them fellers still chugging along. Anybody claiming Xbox dead need 2 hard slap, really, lololol.

Nothing wrong with someone preferring a console over another. Totally fine if someone likes a certain type of game on a certain type of console.

Microkia sell plenty... Sony sell plenty. Gamers win.
The real 'loser' here is Nvidia. :laughing7:

ROFL @ NVIDIA, and this is a perfect example of just how quickly the winds blow the other way. Just 1 short year ago, NVIDIA was on top of the world, I abandon AMD, and went hard NVIDIA. AMD sign ah deal for them consoles....... everything change........JAH!
And Halo was a strong enough title as is, Adding Titan fall to the list, going to work out extremely well for MS come next year.
O, and some podcasts I listening to point out, that MS selling around d same number of consoles as Sony, whiles still being 100$ more........ that in itself is a big accomplishment. The installbase for Kinect is maximized, hopefully developers take advantage of it. And I don't mean Kinect Motion Games.
-
gg @ halo + titan fall
auto buy @ xbox one for tons of gamers when those drop. no doubt.
PS...what wrong with kinect motion games??
My family loves those. The fitness ones are also great if you're into working out. Makes for a very diverse console. Something for everyone.
-
Yes, my son and wife enjoys the dance games, and the fitness stuff is good too, but to me personally as a hardcore gamer, it matters very little. I do however see the extremely useful value of Kinect for other things, all of which being utilized by the OS itself, and can be utilized to help streamline games. Like watching Netflix and saying, "Xbox join killer instinct ranked" and have it searching for game in background whiles still watching Netflix, then when match found, do what it does now, popup toast notification to join the game.
And different stuff like that.
Kinect motion gaming is useful for family and house guests, but I personally have very little interest In it, and want to see Kinect utilized in hardcore games as well, like killer, halo, gears, etc. And this new Kinect is good enough and very capable of being used in a hardcore setting. Once u don't go making halo motion controlled.
-
Well I guess I try not to have a selfish view of the console....it is going to be attached to the living room screen, so having games developed for family fun is a big plus.
Especially since if Mrs Claus stick...I will have to buy it for one of my kids (heh heh)
-
Have nothing to do with selfish view, it will always have casual games there, no interest to me, I want more. I want to have my cake and eat it too, just because Kinect good for casual mean I have to be content not to be selfish? Hells no. I want to use Kinect just like everybody else, but in hardcore games implemented properly.
I spent 60 on dance game....... that wasn't for me lolol. And $60 zumba fitness for d wife..... all I get for me is killer which cheap LOL. Console ain't for me alone, but I want more from Kinect.
-
I think you need to look up the meaning of the world selfish yes, lol
Have nothing to do with selfish view, it will always have casual games there, no interest to me, I want more. I want to have my cake and eat it too
helped you, here is the definition:
self·ish
ˈselfiSH/
adjective
1.
(of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.
-
If it was selfish, I woulda just by KI, hog d Xbox, and done with that.
You can be u, without being selfish u know. Me being me, I don't give 2 hoots about casual games for my gaming, for me when I ready to sweat. I care about it for d family and them having something to swet. Is 2 different things.
Being selfless don't mean I have to sit down with my finger on meh lip and force myself to enjoy a Kinect motion based game. Lolo, ah mean seriously dude?
I arguing a case for Kinect needing to be more, because of d taste I get I want MORE from Kinect, and u fighting down ah scene?
Is like me and Zelda skyward sword. Sure, the casual nature of Wii caused it to sell like gangbusters, and I got d Wii sports, the Ryman all of that for "family time", but when it comes to me and my personal gaming, Skyward Sword was the meaning of motion controlled gaming to me.
Same thing needs to happen on Xbox. I need to see more hardcore implementation and use of that Kinect technology.
I not saying remove casual games, that will ALWAYS be there, because that stuff is easy. I want more than just that.
And a Kinect controller halo, not going to be played by the casual gamers, a Kinect controlled gears of war, not going to be played by the casual gamer, nor is it going to be played by the hardcore. It just going to flop.
I wanting something for me don't mean it selfish. By that token, you mite as well sell ur pc forget B4 and go play dance dance revolution only.
YUh not making sense on this one.
And I sure when halo release, you would be more inclined to by an Xbox One at that time, (along with d casual games), but u not going to shell out 500$ for no Xbox, with halo missing, just for dance central.
I don't see the problem here, I don't see why it has to be "selfishness" to want epic games that only YOU going to play lololol.
Selfishness would be buying d Xbox for halo/KI and salt for everybody else, lolol.

Arcman, YUh extremely late with that video, it was posted and discussed earlier in the thread.
General consensus is, the men here that actually playing the game, never experience that, and Maximilian never experience it either. Not saying it didn't happen to that dude. But it not a general problem as far as everybody could tell.

Show me that post where the video was posted earlier.
It was discussed, yes, but I can't remember seeing any video.

I Heard that mentioned in this video here:
http://youtu.be/ntadKhdpR8U
But every match I had with RedlumTT , Guy from Cayman, and Lindon (not sure where he located), we were using party chat, and everything was fine. And I had more matches with those guys than online, and it had no lag, and no syncing issues. So as far as my experience, the netcode is indeed epic.
Complete with not 1, but 2! Videos addressing the issue.
And you've already responded to these earlier in the thread, so naturally I assumed u watched the videos.
Anyways, like ah say, YUh rel late on that. Moving On.
-
Well I didn't.
What have we learned? Don't assume.
I find yuh quick to move on from dat one boy.
Ah hear Xbone DRM boot men out from a game during a tournament finals too.

So you expect me not to assume ah man watch d video posted that he responded too with Pico? *yawn*
And I quick to move on from something that was never really an issue, but still brought up, addressed, picoed and moved on, but man still coming back days later with ah old vid laughing, so yes, I quick to move on from that.
The tournament boot thing, I see info on it, but not enough to see what really happened. Or see if it was even an issue or what really go on. So that one we can spend some time on if you're so inclined, find the appropriate material and post.
I too busy to do it myself, Christmas right there, I have my last "Everything Xbox" video to edit and upload and ain't even have time to post my own content, much less others. So do d honors and we shall discuss if it turns out to be a real issue.
-
Arc, i suggest you come online and play either me or Messiah on your brother's Xbox One and lets see if we can reproduce the events of that video you posted there...I have never experienced anything like that in all the games that I have played with Messiah, W1nTry, Jarrox, Max1mus, Killazin and any Ranked matches..

Well Redlum I find out what actually caused the problem (d 2nd one), it was a ID10T error. And I'm sure arc is very much aware of it. Man just trolling. Moving on.
Speaking of which, Redlum like YUh running from meh boy, anytime I see u in KI and send msg for sweat, ah man blanking meh, what going on? We need to cross fists, swords, and feet man. SAHWEAT!
YUh muss hail meh when u ready to run. Send d msg on Xbox live even d'oh I appear offline. D message does come through on meh Surface and Phone. So I could just pop on if I free.

Not running from you, been playing Ghosts with those fellas, and some KI. They really need to update the game and add a lobby so we can run 8 men in the game tourney style. You need to show me how to break the Ultra and go back into it, having problems getting that to work.
-
We'll talk about that "offline" Arc :)
-
I tell Mengsk to join the Killer Instinct battle online. We have an official xbox one owners list yet so he could get the accounts to add on live??
-
1. We Need to get that list gong
2. Yea, KI really really needs that lobby system soon.
3. Breaking ultra to do 2nd is pretty easy, u instinct cancel the ultra (HP+HK) at any point of the ultra whiles the man is still grounded, once u do that, I usually follow with an auto double, then continue my string, then 2nd ultra. So...ultra->HP+HK->HK->Combo String-> Ultra

what does the playstation 4 have to offer(do u have one), and i have never owned an xbox eh, ps2 and ps3 only

Ok, the verdict is in. My original sentiments on Kinect stands strong. MS needs to do more with Kinect for hard core gamers. More practical uses, and not just Kinect controlled games.
Kinect has been put to the test for casual games and fail hard. My son hates Kinect for games. Every time he has to use Kinect to play something, it feels like a chore. He always asks to play with the controller instead, but of corset gay MS don't have controller options for Kinect based games, so u forced to look like an idiot whiles Kinect barely translates your movements into accurate in game control. The Wii has done a much better job with this type of gameplay, using much older and inferior technology.
The Fitness games are yet to be put through their paces, I suspect they will be more useful. But using Kinect to actually play a game, fail, and fail hard. (Confirmed by a 7 year old).
Kinect is great for everything else though, and I hope they push the boundaries of what it's used for, and develop smarted, more integrated, and more useful features using the technology. Everything else... just give me a darn controller. (btw, his friends felt the same, so is not because he get brainwash to be hardcore like me lol).
-
very interesting
Which kinect games did he play specifically??
I was really hoping to hear that Kinect 2.0 was vastly improved over its predecessor.
-
Kinect Sports, and just dance 2014.
And Kinect 2.0 is vastly superior, but the whole controller-less gaming thing is fundamentally flawed. Its harder to play games using that than just using a controller. It does not feel seamless. It doesn't feel fun. It just feels like work. So its no surprise that d kids here jus prefer to pick up a controller and swet.
Also, few ppl, if any, has that Nintendo magic. The Wii was epic not just because it had motion gameplay, but it had games that were fun and took proper advantage of the technology. Microsoft and their partners just ain't no Nintendo and theirs.
-
Kinect Sports wasn't a very strong kinect title to begin with and Dancing is either something you love or you don't.
My family had great fun with Dance Central 1, 2 and 3. Kinect Adventures and Kinectimals.
On the exercise front....Your Shape, Fitness Evolved was the best of the lot and strongly recommended.
So I would say wait for the Kinect 2.0 versions of these titles or similar before making a final conclusion.
Would love a mike tyson punch out type game for Kinect 2.0
-
Will do, but I not depending 60$ on any of them. If I getting them for 10-15$ I'll buy it and try it. Or If demos available.
-
They usually have demos available for download so you can try before you buy.

That's fine.
As for me, that is the #1 game of 2014 on my list. I've been waiting years for a new dread mech game. Also been waiting a long time for an FPS game that I rely like, that is not gears of war. (Bad Company 2 was the last game of that caliber, but it still wasn't no gears). Titan fall is both combined. You're piloting giant mechs for crying out loud, what is not there to like? :laughing7:
And yea there is a lot of hype for it. And all the gaming media that get their hands on it very impressed as well.
Right now it shipping up to be an epic mega hit, or ah big flop lol . not long again to wait to see which one it turns out to be. My money is on epic mega!
-
Me bein ah ps fanboy hav nothing to do with discreditin tf. An average game should be seen as an average game.
-
Titanfal being "Average" is your opinion, and nothing is wrong with that.
For me, I rely picky about games, and very picky about what I call good, and what I call crap. Yuh hadda come good to impress me. And from what I see of titanfal so far, it gonna impress me big time.
But here we are, discussing how good, or "Average" or epic a game is that ain't even release yet and that nobody but the gaming media play (all of who say it is going to be THE! Big title (next to halo) of 2014).
:laughing7: We shall see soon enough, enjoy your killzone though, ill be piloting a titan come march. :)

Lol. Am a ps fanboy too eh but tf really looking good. I really wanna get a ps4 but if this game good will have to get an x1 instead. It looks like my kind of game seeing as I love cod. But so far the gameplay looks solid. However am unsure whether the mech gameplay will get old or not. Seems too easy to get the mech in the first place. Hopefully the game has depth seeing as its multiplayer only. Time will tell.

Boy, I cannot tell you how long I've waited for a proper mecha game. Loved every second of Mech Warrior.
Not to mention we have played the hell out of world war 2 and modern warfare FPS games. Time for some futuristic shooters to take the PC by storm again.
The xbox one already has Halo and Gears of War ironically enough....so that may not be such a big deal for that platform but the PC has been languishing in the futuristic shooter department for far too long.

Titanfall should be ps4 exclusive damn. But then ps4 woulda beat x1 even worst. I believe tf will give them the edge.

Titanfall devs cite proper balance for 12-player limit
by Earnest Cavalli Writer RSS on Jan 8th 2014 1:30PM
(http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/adam/f5d598614caa771f7fd02aa5a909f6bc/titanfall.jpg)
When the giant mechanized suits of Titanfall touch down in March, its battlefields will be populated by a maximum of 12 combatants, according to Vince Zampella, founder of Respawn Entertainment.
Zampella was asked point-blank how many players the game will support in a single match. "6v6 is max player count," he replied. "Turned out to be the best balance with AI for us." Following Zampella's tweet, prospective Titanfall players reacted negatively, throwing around descriptors that we'd rather not republish on a family website. In response, a Respawn Entertainment employee calling his or herself "DKo5" took to the NeoGAF forums to offer a more comprehensive explanation of why Titanfall is limited to six-on-six skirmishes.
"[W]e tried a huge amount of playercounts (all the way down to 1v1 and up quite high) and designed the maps, gameplay mechanics, and entire experience around which played best," DKo5 wrote.
"And FYI, for amount of stuff happening at once in a map you'll be hard pressed to find a game that keeps the action higher. I literally have to stop playing every few rounds because my heart just can't take it some times. Remember, you can get out of your Titan and let it roam on AI mode - meaning there can be 12 Pilots wallrunning around, 12 Titans stomping below, and dozens of AI doing their thing."
Finally, DKo5 addresses player speculation over what Zampella meant with his mention of AI: "Oh, and I keep seeing people thinking we've got 'bots' when we talk about AI. Thats not how they are. The AI in Titanfall are not replacements for human players. Our playercount is not 6v6 because of AI - AI play their own role in the game and are a different class of character in the game."

lol @ pretty sour
6 v 6 sounds just about right.
We used to have some intense matches in counter strike, Halo and cod with those numbers.
Hell, we had epic battles 2v2 in quake 3 CTF
If the maps are appropriately sized and balanced, should be epic warfare iwmc.

What captain awesome said ain't happening with me, i.e. replacing of a pc to game solely on console. No way, no how that gonna happen with me. I'll play exclusives on consoles, always have, owned consoles for years, from the first NES all d way up, ps1, ps2, etch etc etc. But when I got into PC gaming, it has, and currently is, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, my primary gaming platform.

racing games get old fast unless ur really into cars and racing imo
im a GT fan and would be gettin Driveclub but i wont be loggin in everyday to play races
racing games for me is more of a u gotta be in the mood kinda thing.
for me if there was another reason to get an xb1 atm id prob secure 1 after carnival but it would just be collecting dust hence PC hopefully comes 1st (mainly for other things not gaming sorry :P ) then new headset, cap card and hopefully by christmas xb1 with a good Halo not the reach/4 variety and titanfall which hopefully isnt just all hype.
And rn thats all that really interests me on XB side sadly which was the reason i didnt get a 360 before lack of actual good shooters not named gears or halo and lack of creative variety.
PS3 had games like MAG and DUST which really tried to do things different. PS4 rn gettin all the indie support lovin War Thunder and that game is only like 1/4 done (tanks, battleships, world war, tournaments still be added), PS2 coming which u PC guys had the chance to enjoy before that now PS4 ppl can then u got staples like KZ , H-Hour (SOCOM) the variety there hence for me as a gamer and a big fan of team based shooters PS4 was the better option to START with. Destiny cod bf division all those multiplatform.
Both consoles are really good and for me im lookin forward to really gettin the chance to play with the local XBL peeps because ill be 1st to admit i get a lil jelly when i see the XBL trini community actually plays other shooters not named cod, prob the single biggest reason i dont play with trinis much on PS is that they all stuck on cod now bf and cod and wont venture outside the mainstream stuff
-
A lot of the points you listed there are the reasons why I'm getting a PS4 first.
.....but still, I know quite a few people who have gotten a Xbone simply to play Forza 5.
Them is racing aficionados though, so that is ALL them playing. They might dabble a bit in other genres, but for them...racing is where it's at.
... and don't talk 'getting old fast' rong dem neither, because them still sweating Forzas 1 to 4.
Forza 5 is an outstanding game in it's own right. Might even be better than Driveclub if you look sharp.
If I eventually get a Xbone, ah buyin dat for sure.
(... and before yuh look to beatup... yes, ah buying Driveclub too)

Hell, if I can buy the x1 just for KI, and I play that, and nothing else. Then it more than understandable men buying it just for forza, cause as far as I know it's an epic racer. But I d'oh have no Xbox wheel so meh, pc FTW.

The Xbox One Can Do A Lot More Than You Might Think
(http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/19ck18xl4ttppgif/ku-xlarge.gif)
Sure, the Xbox One has a few tricks up its sleeves—some of which we've told you about before. But, damn, had I known about some of the more advanced things the Xbox One is capable of, Microsoft would have sold me on the console way quicker.P
Thankfully, Sean Ong takes the time to walk us through all sorts of advanced Xbox One tricks, like miracasting your Surface tablets, using wireless keyboards, using Spotify, playing HTML 5 games, setting up broadcast TV, and a number of other neat things, in the helpful video below. It's definitely worth a watch if you have an Xbox One...

Cod with mechs
Retarded bots to make everybody feel good

Yuh know wat, ah go give it ah bly fuh now seeing as is alpha. 2 months from release and still alpha, smh.

Want to see some more gameplay. What is considered Alpha and Beta to you shaq? Because after over 10 projects I've heard 10 different interpretations of Alpha.
-
Ah guessin is either Alpha as in the early stages of development, which ah doubt
Or they're just calling this an alpha as it comin before the beta that more people would get invited to closer to launch.Which would mean what yuh see dey goin and be it
-
pretty much. It doesn't mean its the latest build. Its the build from Gamescom ported to the XBOX from PC, something from last year, a one off build. Alpha....CLOSED Alpha for that matter means nothing about balance, just server testing and if shit works and doesn't break.
the exIW team is very "last minute" with stuff. The work best in the final hours when their back is to the wall.

Yes, CoD with Mechs. That's a good thing.
Futuristic CoD is exactly what I was looking for. Tired for the world war 2 and modern warfare themes.

when over the years have ppl actually made a "hard" game that ppl have to spend a lil time to learn?
ofc the bots there to make ppl feel good because games gettin watered down so noobs and casuals can feel good and cuz god forbid u gotta put a lil time in to get good at something over time
too many gamers just want instant gratification with no work involved
games these days dont even have any significant recoil (BF INCLUDED) why? cuz apparently learning how to burst fire and control recoil too hard for ppl so u get a bunch of sprayin and the skill gap gets reduced.
If titanfall didnt have the movement system it has i wouldnt even give it a 2nd look just because everything else about it screams low tier in terms of skill like cod. the movement system is what will add some skill to titanfall which is why im lookin into it and halo always been a skillful game......once the devs not high off crystal meth *lookin at u reach and 4*
Low health
Bots to farm
mechs for easy kills

Good point there vice. however If the game is too hard it wont sell very well and that's why games getting easier compared to before so I don't blame the developers. And that's the exact reason why cod sells so well, Its very noob friendly

Agreed. Even Dota...a game that is unbelievably difficult and unforgiving has been bending over itself backwards implementing features to cater for novice users.
Just yesterday we used the coach functionality. Where you can have an extra player in the game live serving as a realtime guide for a newbie.
I think it is a good development. Hold up on the elitism for a bit and make games more inclusive.
It will attract more gamers and that's a good thing.

...and not everyone has the time to invest in learning a 'hard' game either.
The main game buying demographic are the people with relationships, jobs, families...you know, actual LIVES nah.
If you make a game that's not easily accessible to that demographic, well you have to depend on the 'hardcore' niche to carry your franchise, and when has that ever worked? You'll have a good, hard game that almost no one buys.
As a dev, making your accessible (aka 'easier' ) is almost crucial to success these days.
That's just how it is.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls seem to do pretty good without watering itself down to cater to those who can't play.Alot of games do well by offering difficulty.
Resident Evil try to cater to casuals and look at it now, nothing but sub standard games as of late.
Now this is why CoD will forever run the FPS genre, yuh have most of the competitors following it footsteps rather than trying to do new shit they're tryin to out CoD CoD.
-
Demon's Souls actually lost a TON of money, which is why Atlus sold the franchise to Namco (And they were NOT happy about it). Namco has a larger marketing budget and control a niche market. The make the same with less money, it's why they consider 2 million in sales a "profit" and also why next gen isn't planned until current gen sales can "pay for it". 2 Million today on a single platform is "break even" 2 million on multiplatform is a loss.
Resident Evil is an example of Japanese game development as a whole. Flat level design, "if it aint broke don't fix it" attitude and old fashioned dev. processes. Its the reason why the first Dead Space took the mantle with 2.5 mil. units sold as a brand new franchise. Playing lots of these recently (killer is dead, revengence, vanquish) its the same...flat...boring level design. But we like because its old school level design! I love it, is what myself and many of us grew up on. But that was then, this is now.
Titanfall has one thing I haven't heard a SINGLE person mention yet. Gamers only think in the now, developers HAVE to think ahead. And NO other shooter has this as a pillar in their design. The parkour element is to cover it up. VERTICALITY. Shooters (ALL of them) will be moving to this in the future if they want to survive the next decade. But you cant just MAKE a game with it, it has to be an element from the beginning and you need a ASS TON of money to back it up.
Alot of young gamers starting to see this shift. The kids who started on PS2 and PS3. Remember PS3 launched 7 years ago. Those 12-13 year olds are now 19-20. They've either moved on with life or are used to a certain type of game. Few of us actually adapt to what's changed to cater for the new nubs that start gaming. We cant be fooled, but they sure as shit can...every...single...time. We were young, we dont want to listen ...easy pickings.
*LOL holding on that last CoD post. Could always talk about that on skype or teamspeak. That is a separate conversation. If i have stories for alyuh....ask Arcman, we chat alot*

lol, well there goes that point.
So much for making games incredibly hard.
Park up the elitism....more inclusive game experiences ftw!
and yea Shiv, the parkour element is definitely a highlight.
Not that Battlefield felt very horizontal due to the level designs and helicopters/planes. The franchise even had ziplines at one point (hoping that makes a comeback!)

...and not everyone has the time to invest in learning a 'hard' game either.
The main game buying demographic are the people with relationships, jobs, families...you know, actual LIVES nah.
If you make a game that's not easily accessible to that demographic, well you have to depend on the 'hardcore' niche to carry your franchise, and when has that ever worked? You'll have a good, hard game that almost no one buys.
As a dev, making your accessible (aka 'easier' ) is almost crucial to success these days.
That's just how it is.

the "lives" thing is such a poor excuse
ppl think i spend all day playin games? i spend maybe 2-3hrs avg and not every day i play
I manage social life, competitive gaming clan not just a clan where u slap some tags on and call that george and work. Some of the ppl that play that "lives" card play way more games than the ppl they think have "no lives"
lives nothing to do with it its a MINDSET ppl have that if they suck at something new at the start they REFUSE to just continue playin and learning instead ppl quick to judge a game within the 1st 5-10 matches they play online
U knw how many ppl i kno fall under that category and whats even more infuriating is that the few that were bitchin and wanting to quit the 1st 5-10 matches they judgin after a while got good at the game and all of a sudden its the best thing ever
and like someone said ppl afraid to try something new, even the devs so they just copy each other and slap a different name on the box
@Spartacus the dota 2 coaching thing and noobin up a game 2 different things, having someone coach u is welcomed, im always helpin ppl get better at w/e games im playin when they ask for advice the ACTUAL GAME dont need to get dumbed down to basically hand holding u tho.

Your opinion, 'bro'.

I probably know a LOT more gamers that fit into the category I described, but whatever.
You seem to know more about them nah.

That lives thing is serious point. 2-3 hers gaming ah day? That's rel time Lolo.
Over holiday season or if on vacation I mite manage that, but since work start back I make like zero hours ah day most times, 2hrs ah day on weekend. And with such limited time, I could only afford to play one game, let alone a hard one yuh hadda learn (Killer Instinct).
Dows have to literally schedule gaming time, or push myself late hours to freak other games. For eg, I stay up till 2 playing KI , holiday today. D average Joe eh staying up till no 2. Only young plebs that have rel time on they hand. Or hardcore men with lives trying sneak in ah sweat.
But that's just my experience.

Well, guess the future of games is apparently watered down and uninspired. Thank god it have niche devs like NIS..

I dont think the future go be comprised of entirely watered down experiences, but they do need to exist.
The industry needs both.

I won't be surprised if they swoop in and buy all the rights to titanfall for future products. I know it have rumors of titanfall 2 for ps4, but MS move rel aggressive these days.

And yes, they need those, what was Sony advantage for a long while is better stronger exclusives, not so much any more. MS made halo a household brand. Gears pull it's weight.

Yea I kno titan1 aint coming to ps4 or I woulda wait. Microsoft have the money so they spend. I honestly as a ps3 owner hated how Microsoft always paid for exclusive stuff from 3rd party devs like timed exclusives and such. I will enjoy some of that now. Downloading cod dlc now which is also timed exclusive. never played a gears or halo game Trying out new things

FINALLY a fighting game developer has stepped up and implemented a fix for rage quitters, all fighting games should follow suit.:
RAGE QUIT SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED
Introducing a novel solution to rage quitters in Ranked Match: JAIL
- The first time your disconnect percentage goes above 15 percent you go to JAIL
- A 10 match minimum is required
- JAIL lasts for 24 hours. During this time you can only be matched against other JAIL members
- Each time you go to JAIL the amount of time increases by 24 hours (capped at 5 days – 120 hrs)
- While in JAIL your profile icon will be automatically changed to a custom JAIL icon to let you know you are in JAIL
- When your JAIL time is up, you go back into the public again (even if your disconnect percentage is back over 15%)
- However, when back in public, if you disconnect and you are still above 15 percentage you go directly back to JAIL
- For any match that sends you to JAIL, player will take a loss

Highlights From Play XBLA January 31st, 2014
By Amir Abdollahi – January 31, 2014
Spinal released and a stream?! Big day for Killer Instinct. In case you missed the stream or can’t watch it we have some of the highlights below.
•Aware of some of the challenges that people are facing after the update and looking into them
•Showed off new Classic Sabrewulf and Classic Glacius skins and accessories released today that you can check out here
•Double Helix puts in about 4 months to create a character from concept art to finished product that is playable
•Double Helix is working on at least 3 characters at the same time
•Story Mode is coming with Fulgore’s release slated for March
•Unsure if all Classic costumes will be released by the time Fulgore is released. Leaning towards no
•There will probably not be a 4 player simultaneously on screen at once game type
•There will be something at the end of the Fulgore reveal trailer but not specifically a new character tease
•Actively working on lobbies and will be released as soon as they are finished and ready
•Aware of freezing issue with Spinal teleport and looking into fixing it
•Single player rank decrease could be based on percentage rank and Spinal being added would lower your original percent of fight titles complete
•There is an artifact that Spinal is in search of in the Story Mode
•Lots of high concurrent number of players playing Killer Instinct
•Story Mode not like Mortal Combat
•Story Mode once released will continually be enhanced and work on
•Little refinements like when you go back to character select after a match your character you used is already selected
•If there was an Eagle he could have lots of moves that didn’t make it into Thunder
•New characters probably will not have the same properties of existing Instinct Modes
•Perhaps more customizable options for character animations before, after and even during the matches
•Plans in place for a long content stream. Double Helix wants to keep on creating content for Killer Instinct
•There will most likely not be a create your own fighter like Soul Caliber
•If and when Season 2 starts not all characters will be available at once
-
•Working on tournaments separate from lobbies. Not a for sure thing but would be a cool thing to add
•Only characters that Double Helix is hesitant to bring back are boss characters
•Rebooting canon of Killer Instinct Story mode
•Holiday customs for characters could be a possibility in the future
•Customs in the art book that have not been implemented yet could still be released
•“I love Fulgore…he is already awesome” – Ken Lobb

I wouldn't mind if Microsoft puts RARE to work on KI, as it is their original baby to begin with, and RARE is owned by Microsoft...that would be a good thing...no? :)
They already said the existing Microsoft KI team is still in place, which I would imagine would be made up of RARE employees who were fully involved in the development process with Double Helix, so I would think this transition should not be a problem, by owning RARE they own the KI IP anyway...

The original Rare devs even stick around?

P.S can't view vid on my current device, so sorry if askin something that was covered in it.
-
Yeah from the video posted, it seems they are only obligated to season 1 of killer instinct. The engine used belongs to them and not Microsoft, so it's up in the air right now about how KI will evolve, but Microsoft has that cream so licensing may not be that much of a problem. It'll just be the difference in development and by consequence content for KI season 2, that could be the downfall of the brand.

Ah wonder how an amazon console go be?
heard its called an XB1 ;-)
in other news.....
http://8bitbot.com/titanfall-xb1s-throw-dice/
my answer : no could always get it on PC its not a reason to buy a console and never is just for ONE game and TF2 will almost certainly be multiplat, vince wasnt too happy that EA signed a deal for the 1st one without them knowing and EA prob kickin themselves seeing as PS4 outselling XB1s so much even in the US apparently.
Pricepoint/Kinect really hurtin sales imo, especially when almost every dev i readin basically sayin PS4 runs better
its like deja vu with XB1 being the PS3 except the PS3 was more powerful than 360 but hard to dev for
M$ should of really thought about the price better especially when they saw what went on with the PS3. Im hoping for a price cut by the time im ready to buy 1 later this year or at least a kinect less xb1 cuz lets be real most gamers do not care about the lolkinect
-
lol yep i hate kinect am not gonna lie and i never use any voice commands cause it annoys me when it does not work. kinect sucks and its just a paperweight on my desk. they need to get rid of it and drop the price, i will buy a ps4 later on and at which point xb1 will only be for exclusives
-
I will happily borrow that kinect if you're not using it fire.
I love it and got several xbox consoles.

I love Kinect as well, speaking from my solitary Kinect experience on Xbox one. Did not use previous versions of Kinect.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-02-13-kinect-and-gamepad-are-both-deadweights
It's an opinion piece. Not everyone will agree.
-
I don't like Kinect fop the games. I like Kinect for the functionality, and the potential with future iterations.
I like to walk in and say "Xbox on"
I like to be in a match and something cool just happen and say "Xbox record that" whiles still continuing to play, no break in action whatsoever
I like to say "Xbox turn off" when I done.
I like to say "Xbox unsap" when I join a party instead of using the controller to do it.
I like to say "Xbox answer" to Skype when controller 6 feet away and a call comes in.
I like to walk in the room and the Xbox sees me auto signs me in and configure my home screen for my needs.
etc, etch, etc.
Those and others like it are why I find Kinect an integral part of the Xbox one experience. But that's just my opinion.
-
xbox record that is the only voice command that i use i will give them that one. especially the part about it not interrupting your gameplay like the ps4. however if sony patch the ps4 to automatically record when the share button is pressed instead of taking u out of the game to manually do it then i would prefer the button press. but xbox wins in the gameplay recording section hands down
-
Actually it's automatic to, just double tap to record.

Like slaming said just double tap to record. 1 tap to get the last 15 minutes, or to select streaming.

I like Kinect for the fitness games.
Have several of them. Particularly the Your Shape Fitness Evolved series. I have two of those and they are pretty good. Got the UFC trainer as well, its cool but not as slick as Fitness Evolved.
My kids love the kinect games as well. Kinectimals, Kinect Adventures, Dance Central 1, 2 and 3 (Yes, I've bought every single one) etc...

I can't disagree with this more. To reference more about Kojima and Konami, back when MGS2 debuted on the PS2, it blew people away with just how amazing it looked - on the hardware that developers were complaining and griping about being "too difficult" to work with.
Something that happened *again* the next generation when the PS3 and its cell processor technology was a source of discontent among new devs. Cue Kojima and co., MGS4 (not to be contentious here, but I'll also throw in the crazy install/load times for MGS4 which he stated that due to the sheer size of the game, it would not be possible on X360 with less that 2-3 discs)
The personal input I have on this matter is, Kojima knows what he's doing - with his team and his work, he clearly relies on the tried and tested experience they have; evidence of that can be seen in his handing off of MGSR to Platinum games as opposed to continuing it in its original incarnation.
Why is the fact that devs have difficulty coding for a console an excuse? If the hardware is capable, It should show if the devs are similarly capable and/or dedicated.

Again, like I have to repeat myself 20 times, cause people blinded by sheer fanboyism up in here, the next gen consoles are out for 3- 4 months now...devs have admitted to the problems they facing with the hardware, which they got later than PS4 kits which is easier to code for, and yet still men making comparisons....
PS3 had the same problem, and it wasn't until the end of the cycle that it showed its full power...who says the Xbox one can't do the same? The next gen just start....
I done with this yes, I am a gamer, not a Fanboy like some people in here *cough* TrollingTriniGamerShaqtingafool *cough*
Keep this thread strictly for Xbox One related stuff, and keep the Sony Fanboyism out of it...Clean Up on this Aisle will be coming if this keeps up...

Let them beat up, it just highlights how deep their fanboyism runs, rofl, ah man ask if I even know what is Pythagoras Theorem. It have a specific formula laid out in pictorial form, he don't even hadda read, just watch some pics, ABC thing, d man asking still......:laighing7:

Uncharted as a franchise you idiot. lolololol. We already expect a certain caliber from the series.
Maybe you just don't have confidence in your platform?
We tout titanfall for months, and alyuh cuss it.But we knew the game would be epic, and it is, :laughing7: Stop beating up cause alyuh don't have it. :laughing7:
I have enough confidence in uncharted to know that you, firekyler and every other mofo goin and pelt out to play it, just as it have men goin and pelt out for gt7 and lbp. But as i stated why would i bring up games that not comin now ?
I will praise Titanfall when ah hear man like, say firekyler , tout it the weeks and days after launch.If any competitive shooter enthusiast able to drop CoD or BF hours on Titanfall post launch i will save and build a pc just for it.

From that article
Dolby Digital sound. Optical out now supports 5.1 Dolby Digital, enabling devices such as sound bars and headsets with only optical in to be able to receive 5.1 Dolby Digital from Xbox One over optical. We’re also adding support for Dolby Digital surround sound over HDMI. Now you’ll be able to have the best sound quality no matter what speaker setup you are using.
BOOM BANG
Dolby iwmc, just in time for TitanFall.
Well done Microsoft, well done.

Xbox One: Titanfall Boosts Sales By 96%

i was never battling over whether the game good or not
its just not gods gift to fps gaming
best way to describe it is in its current state its a casual game not a hardcore one
does that mean its bad? nope just means its got a way to go to win over some of the more hardcore peeps
i have a clan member who bought it for PC dude was done with it within 6 days, we gave him a month before we thought hed be done. He was hypin it up as well came back after playin retail sayin the game gets old doin the same stuff over and over and there is no skill based matchmaking which is something ALL devs seem to overlook how important having a challenge is vs just puttin anybody in a lobby hence i class it as more casual its not a game where ppl lookin to get a good challenge will log on and play atm.
Ive seen video when 2 good teams match up against each other and that is a sight to behold and really shows off its potential just a shame there isnt skill based matchmaking or a clan system in place which boggles my mind how devs continuously leave these things out.
One would think its common sense for newbies and shit players to play against each other and have the better players matched up vs each but but naaaaaaaaaa that requires some work and devs are lazy
As for infamous ss do i think its a good game? yes looks damn good. worth the $60US? nope cuz thats just my view on pure sp only games being 60$US play once and done UNLESS u can log some srs hours into it or a big infamous fan like myself. Content is important. Games aint cheap. Still havent bought AC Black Flag yet despite how good it is cuz its a SP game (yes it has mp but lets be real mp is ass) Waitin for that to drop to around 30$ before i drop $$$ on that
PS: yea saw on some site dude had that as his profile pic so i had to jack it it was too good and a when words dont cut it enough or i aint feelin to talk ppl can just watch the pic and be reminded of the situation cuz god knows PS3 and even PS4 despite its success still takin bashin on this particular site alot

we run practice sessions an stuff depending on if the game actually allows it *lookin @ u tf, dust, bf4*
right now we're playin KZSF next shooters we lookin at are Destiny and H-Hour
we also play War Thunder (WW2 vehicle game, only planes atm but tanks coming spring to PS4)

Microsoft's Xbox One Sold Just 1.2M Units To Retailers In Q3, Dips Below Xbox 360 Rate
http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/04/25/microsofts-xbox-one-sold-just-1-2m-units-to-retailers-in-q3-dips-below-xbox-360-rate/
Microsoft's Q3 earnings have arrived, and with them comes a single line-itemthat says a lot about the current state of the Xbox One. The console has sold 1.2M units to retailers, not consumers, in the past quarter, or about 400K a month.
While we could have reached that number by comparing Microsoft’s previous announcements of 3.9M (Jan 1st) and 5M units shipped (April 17th), it’s probably a good idea to put it in greater context.
First, the One should obviously be compared to its current rival, the PS4.Sony announced sales of 4.2 million to consumers on Jan 1st alongside Microsoft’s own data. Then, they said that as of April 6th, more than 7 million consoles had been sold, also to consumers. That’s then ~2.8M consoles sold over that time, twice what Microsoft is saying they’ve sold to retailers.
Microsoft’s sell-through to consumer rate as of January 1st was 3/3.9M, so about 77%. Assuming that rate is still about the same (it could have gone down because of being post-Christmas, or up because of Titanfall), that means about 3.85M Xbox Ones have been sold to date, with about 924K sold in the last quarter. In that case, in Q3 Sony’s system sold three times as much as the Xbox One to consumers. It’s entirely possible that Sony sold more PS4s in one month than Microsoft did in the whole quarter.
The common refrain heard at this point in the analysis is that at least Microsoft is dramatically outpacing the Xbox 360 at its launch. Even if they’re behind Sony, the console market has expanded so much that the system is a hit regardless.
That’s true, to a point. The Xbox One is outselling the Xbox 360 right now, with 5 million shipped compared to 3.2 million shipped over the same period for each console. But that said, this new 1.2M Q3 number now actually puts the Xbox One below the pace of the 360, at least for the quarter. The 360 sold 1.7M units to retailers in Q3 after launch in 2006, while the Xbox One is rather far behind at 1.2M. The One is still ahead overall, but that could change in time if a disparity like this continues to exist, or worse, grows.
This seems incredibly odd because the One has had the supposed clear advantage of the Titanfall launch, something that on the surface would seem to generate more sales and buzz for their console over the PS4, or their predecessor, the 360. While Titanfall sold well (though not well enough to warrant any glowing sales announcements), it hasn’t been enough to drive interest in the One that translates into mass console sales. Sony simply does not have a game catalog that should be allowing the PS4 to beat the One 3:1 in sales in a quarter. And in total market share? If our estimated sell-through numbers are close to accurate, that puts the PS4 at about 65% and the One at 35% (ignoring out of date Wii U figures).
I wrote a whole separate piece about the likely culprit, the price, and how Microsoft’s only way forward is a deep price cut that either A) severs the forced ties to Kinect B) hacks off a different part of the system like a disc drive or C) they simply eat the costs to try and move more consoles. Yes, Microsoft’s console is priced higher which should be factored somewhat into these comparisons, but the price gap does not equal the sales gap, and it’s not as if Microsoft is banking an extra $100 in profit. The margins are likely very close to what Sony is making on the PS4.
This has been a very odd launch all around, and I’m surprised at the PS4 overperforming nearly as much as I am at the Xbox One underperforming. To me, there’s nothing about the two systems right now that says Sony’s is just so much better than Microsoft’s to warrant this kind of sales gap. The biggest factors have to be brand loyalty (hurt feelings from E3), international issues (features not working overseas, the One launching in less markets) and price.
E3 is only a few weeks away, and Microsoft has a lot to prove heading into the event. It can’t go any worse than last year, but now they have to prepare a very compelling case about why the One is a must-buy for gamers, and directly combat Sony’s message and functionality any way they can.

XB1 biggest problems is PRICE and Wrong message, not brand loyalty
1. Price: ppl like myself do not feel it is worth it to drop $500 on an XB1 because kinect is pointless for alot of ppl and a forced add-on
2. Wrong message: They made ALOT of mistakes with their original marketing of the XB1 and the biggest one was shifting away from GAMES and focusing on crap like TV as their message. What made that decision utterly retarded was that again for ppl like and pretty much anyone not in the US (UK dont even have their shit setup yet either) the TV crap is pointless cuz its shit we cant use so focusing on this for ppl like me or ppl that just dont care gonna turn them away.
As a games console the XB1 is good, i want one and plan to get one but thats what i want......a games console. I dont watch TV, my "TV" consists of netflix, crunchyroll and w/e i dload from torrents on my laptop to watch on my TV lol
What also makes them look clueless is now they basically copying sony and saying "Oh we're all about games now" good but should of been ur original message.
Ill wait for a pricedrop before diving in
Or when there is more to play on it than just TF

"No kinectless bundle planned" @&#* that ish
Another switch that can't be flipped has been flipped Sony en just back them into a corner, they back them into a corner and beat them senseless with a stick.
Nevertheless, Phil Spencer doing good for the console, actually looking appealing now with that Sunset Overdrive. Going and have to refer to the XB1 in 2 seperate manners. The Don Mattrick POS XB1 and the Phil Spencer Aight XB1.

yea the x1 looking better right about now. now to wait for e3.for the most important things the games. i have a feeling i will regret getting rid of mines. lmao. i need to have both new consoles yes
-
Ah yes...THANK YOU Microsoft, for listening...AGAIN.
Score another one for the so-called 'vocal minority'. Vex wid we nah. :sassy:
...but I can assure you that this decision was made less from considering what consumers and the gaming media have been saying,
but as 'GamerShaq rightly said...they've been backed into a corner, and will try ANYTHING to regain that market dominance.
I couldn't give a good goddamn... I just want a system that plays games, without the Kinect faggotery, and now I'm getting that.

kinect is basically dead now tbh
i feel bad for early adopters cuz now prob half of em never wanted it and were forced to take it
u sure as hell wont see games being pushed for it now that its not a mandatory thing, even tho there really hasnt been a good kinect game imo
i would of liked M$ keep the kinect and still lower the price that way early adopters arent shafted and devs could still be encouraged to make games for it knowing everyone still has a kinect.
ONLY way i see kinect being viable now is with M$ rumored VR headset they have in the works.
-
Don't cry for kinect. It has its market.
There were some epic games for kinect on original Xbox and it wasn't mandatory back then either.
There are tons more kinects out there this gen and certainly more to come....$49.99 for kinect 2.0 is a steal. It looks even more attractive now with the base system costing $399 minus kinect.
And totally agreed @ Wii u.
Mario kart 8 is on the horizon. Wii u looking more and more attractive.

ok one thing i don't understand is if MS is talking withd evelopers to squeeze extra power out of the Kinect less XB1 what will happen when when you plug the Kinect back into the XB1
-
You obviously don't have kids firekyler
Don't get so self absorbed that you forget children are gamers too.
My family had tons of fun with the kinect. It effectively retired the Wii in the living room.
Had some phenomenal fitness games on there as well.
Loved it.
yes @ vice...I am absolutely serious.

Leave Microsoft to worry about their magic box. Might use the cloud to power Kinect.
