PS3 ports weren't just low res, they were infested with tons of technical issues till it got sorted out later this gen and even then, the OS is still shit.

Res wars were funny back when Halo 3 got busted. For me, personally it was Ninja Gaiden 2 that broke my heart due to shit technical issues but I soon forgot all about it once the game play kicked in Mentor and Master Ninja modes. No action game come close to Itagaki's swan song.

Last, I just say this: Xbox is playing a bigger game than console wars, this is the war of ecosystems.

Actually, I take that back. It does matter that every single multiplatform game will look and run better on a cheaper machine. Not a game ender, but certainly a factor.

It will sell well, much to the chagrin of many. This is embarrassing for MS though if its true. The fact we are a few weeks away from the release of this console and devs can't say what resolution certain games are is just hilarious. They obviously haven't gotten their shit in order.

But MS must know one thing shifts that early embarrassment, good games that people want. TitanFall is a good start they have others Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive.

I can imagine as a early just in case measure they've probably moneyhatted a few games that are certain to get places like Gaf raging next E3.

Neither of these systems are performing as well as they were touted to.

For PS4 being as overpowered as it is, its games sure don't look so great.

yeah, nothing is striking at this point.  Ryse is the best looking game, imo (if you ignore the limited scope and rough animations).  The rest all look fine and better than most current gen games, but that's not saying much.  That's not really what I want from next gen, though.  Prettier pictures shouldn't be what they're aiming for.

I think a lot of games are looking great. Ryse, Forza, Drive Club, Killzone, The Order, Infamous, Quantum Break....

:yeshrug

edit: Destiny too.


I do too.  All I mean is that they're not so good to make PS3/360 games look bad.  Early 360/PS3 weren't that great either (outside of PGR3) but you had the standardization of HD and widescreen to make it seem more significant.
 
ain't buying into The Order and Quantum Break yet, not when it's this wishy-washy "in-game footage, we promise!" thing.  Same with The Division.  That was the most impressive game at E3, both the visuals and the scope, so I hope it's achievable.

Actually Garnet yes I do.

I don't watch a lot of tv, but when I do and see broadcast tv in 720p it doesn't look that great. Now yes I understand that probably has to do with the cable signal and its perfectly fine. But if I have the option of playing a Blu ray over the same movie on HBO HD I will chose the blu.

It's really irrelevant and a small thing though, but you know what the diffrence between 720 is pretty noticeable.

It's just kind of a shame with the 2nd round of HD consoles that 1080p isn't the norm. I don't buy that people don't care. Yeah you're normal person doesn't care, but people buying it at launch aren't the normal audience.

I don't know what this spells for consoles, but this round of launches is underwhelming. Not because of the games, but because the jump doesn't seem that big. Oh but it's not because of diminishing returns, it's be wise the consoles this time don't seem to be even as good as the best PCs. Maybe that's always been the case, but the 360 at least seemed as awesome as the current pc's of the time of its launch. That doesn't seem to be the case.

And is this thefirst launch with so many cross gen games? I know there has always been port ups, but like this where it seems everything is? If you're average person doesn't care about rez then why would they care about supposed better versions of CoD when the 360 version gets the job done just as well.

Everything about his argument is stupid. It's not like people watch 720p broadcasts because they like 720p, they do it because cable companies suck and they don't have a choice. If your cable company was like "We have this 720p cable package for $499 or a 1080p cable package for $399" I wonder which one people would choose, lol. And if the Xbone equals broadcast TV, then what does that make the PS4, the Blu-Ray release? That's a real flattering comparison.

Why is this good news for sfags?

PS4 has about 30% more GPU power than the Xbone

But 1080P requires twice as many pixels as 720P, so if Xbone has a hard time running certain games at 1080P, that means PS4 won't fare much better

this is a good argument

1. 1080p is twice as many pixels as 720p
2. PS4 is not twice a powerful as Xbox One
3. Therefore, Xbox One games at 720p will have better shaders, lighting, and effects than the same PlayStation 4 game at 1080p

before this CoD rumor it was sounding like the split is more 720p XB1, 900p PS4 or 900p XB1, 1080p PS4.

Sony have already been caught out with this - they had to sacrifice 30fps , cutting that down so that with COD they could drop it to 60fps.

I don't see MS making the same sort of compromise, sounds to me that Sony have got their work cut out.

Plus - 720p is way more cinematic.

I just wonder what sort of shenanigans will go on - given MS rumoured* to be paying for companies to not announce PS4 versions  of their games at E3 and there's more than a few dirty statements floating around about MS "paying for parity" to some 3rd parties (you can figure out the implications of that)

Nintendo's lined these dominoes up perfectly, I suspect the firmware update to enable the USB dongle is about to be announced in the next couple of weeks. Just in time for all the word of mouth to get out there about the let down of these unintelligently designed new consoles that get away from the core focus of video gaming itself.

That's why they've been delaying titles, they know everyone is going to want to play through the backlog of revolutionary Wii U titles first and will need a little break after the binge before they're ready to get back to more real next gen gaming.

It's probably a mix of XB being weaker and harder to code for, and the usual launch game rush.

I got to try Killer Instinct a few days ago at a demo station. Graphics were unimpressive, it basically looked like SSF4 with slightly better textures/polys.

And has the most games I want to play.

Nothing I want to play on Wiiu.

Ultimately, despite my reservations on MS lack of focus and how the One is proving more and more to be a rushed job. It has Ryse and Dead Rising 3. And I really REALLY want to play Dead Rising 3.

So I thinks ima get a One first and get a PS4 when Second Son comes out.

All of this hoopla about Ghosts running at 720p, I don't care. Wasn't interested in it anyhow.

And that doesn't affect me at all either.

I think being a grown man with disposable income enough to own both consoles is such a breath of fresh air.

"BU-BU-BU RYSE WILL ONLY BE 900p!"

Meh, as long as it doesn't interfere with me having fun with it, I don't care.

Granted, long term theres more games on PS4 I want to play, especially the indies I never got to play on PC. Maybe its old news, but I'm excited to play Hotline Miami. And as much as I dislike Blow, I think Witness looks amazing and Ryme looks badass too. Add Rapture, second son to that mix and I'm all in.

But, 2013, zero I want on PS4.

Plus, having both in 2013, I wouldn't be able to enjoy either as much as I should.
Same reason I'm getting an Xbone first.  Nothing in Sony's launch lineup has me even the least bit excited so it will wait til next year.  The graphics wars are funny to troll brand diehards, but I really don't give a shit.  I'll get both systems like I did this gen.  I'm not going to stress out about counting pixels and shit.

The hoopla is really less about ghosts and titanfall; but the very high possibility that there will be a sizeable rift between the PS4 and XB1 graphically for the duration of this gen.....

The rift probably won't be as sizeable as you think

this is a side thing, but every one of these games has a mandatory install (in the background, not like PS3) and so far:

killzone: 40 gigs
call of duty: 49 gigs (PS4)
NBA 2k: 60 gigs (XB1, 50 PS4)

both ship with 500gig internal hard drives.  after 9 or 10 games you need to delete something or upgrade.  PS4 doesn't support external hard drives, but xbox one doesn't let you swap out he internal one.

this is another reason it doesn't matter. Remember the hyperbole at the ps3 launch about it being a whole generation ahead of the 360? The only people who ended up caring were the system warriors with their bullet point lists.

Res didn't matter to me that much until I started PC gaming. Sitting that close, you notice fuzzy text, jaggies, screen tearing, etc a lot more. The folks who are saying that 720p vs 1080p doesn't matter that much at 8 feet away do have a point - I never really noticed how shitty the PS3 version of RDR looked until I got a 24 inch 1080p TV/Monitor and was sitting at my desk two feet from it.

Eel, console games looking worse on PC monitors might also be due to monitors not being able to handle upscaling as well as TV

I've switched monitors a few times since the start of the PS3/360 gen and most of them were pretty bad at displaying 480p/720p

I guess I'll chalk it up to a different definition of huge.  When a game actually can't be released on one system because it's not powerful enough I think I'll care.  But if we're talking about having to take zoomed in screenshots or discuss advanced shaders and resolutions I can't really be bothered.  I'll have both either way because I need my DR3 and Forza :drool

Agreed. The price might be a factor, and anti hype generally, but if they get the eco system and games right again they'll be fine. Launch looks good to me aside from price.

Rendering resolution in cross gen launch titles could only ever cause actual butthurt or glee in the internet's most insufferable wank stain keyboard warriors. Nobody else. The day I hear a socially well-adjusted human being weighing the virtues of Call of Duty SKUs with their friends in any other way than 'hey dyou have it on PlayStation or Xbox?' I'll know that society has broken down far enough to turn even the most carefree dudebro into an even more stupid, nitpicky, consumer tribalistic, first world problem having CUNT.

I've been trying to figure that out too. From a quick skim of the thread it seems that Ghosts on the X1 is set for 720p vs PS4's 1080p.

This can't be stressed enough. The social aspect will drive success here. MS' bigger problem is price considering many people might go with the cheaper (better) alternative. And a sales advantage would likely become a social advantage. Why buy an Xbone if all your friends buy a PS4, basically.

Btw the ps4 version of Ghost looks pretty shitty, graphics wise. I don't see how a higher res will matter with that title.

it has to be some sort of shitty hardware/firmware issue, what else could it be?

that said, i reckon a lot of the hoopla will be solved by MS soon, surely having to switch up their system software after going backwards on their DRM policies wasnt easy, and perhaps not even finished?

Technically the change they had to make wasn't "turning off DRM", it was replacing one form of DRM (server-based checks) with a different form of DRM (disc-based checks). There wasn't any protection on the discs themselves before so the schedule impact actually came from having to add a new DRM system.

i definitely see that happen - your kids ask for a next gen console so you completely ignore them and buy a WiiU. What sort of parenting is that ? If you are going to short change them at least get them an X360. Worst case scenario the games at least look better than the WiiU's -and- there's more of them.

If they're not interested now, in the midst of these huge product launches and the start of a new generation, then I can't possibly consider any of those kids as part of the full-time gaming marketplace.

They might play *some* games on those devices now and then, but they would be transient participants at best. Big publishers chasing that dollar are playing with fire IMO.

If the age of consoles is 'done', so are the games we love. The only way that isn't the case is if PC and steambox somehow take up some console slack... or if controller-shells become standard, with $40+ games actually selling on the IOS/Android environment. The risk / reward model for publishers in that environment is just too different. Bububu Freemium -- nope. Increasingly saturated, increasingly risky.

Best thing for all of us would be for the big three to get a shit reception out of the gate, forcing them to polish up their acts, but ultimately -- for the console market to grow over the last generation again. Fuck what kids think they want. They're idiots.

who is this mortimer person? i've not heard of him before this week

A gaffer who was active / friendly on twitter and made some friends at sony and a few other devs.  He leaked some stuff earlier this year which caused other people to reach out / confide in him which lead to more leaks which lead to other people reaching out etc... He had a vita blog at one point also.

There's always the PS3 and 360 in that case. Better purchase than the Wii U.

Let me save you time, they won't. November 22nd is less than three weeks away. If they aren't crunching insane hours and even then, they aren't going to fix it before launch.

MS thought they had a year to plan their shit and announce it piece-by-piece because Sony was late last time. Unfortunately for them, they backed the wrong guessing horse and are paying for it in rushing to launch.

They should've (if rumors are to be believed) stuck with the 2014 launch date and launched then. Even giving Sony a headstart would've been far better than the fiasco of cobbled-together features and 180's on policies they're doing at this moment.

The problem when you remove yourself from this stuff is that it doesn't seem as epic anymore. I know if this shit went down in 2005 I would have been going apeshit, but now these all seem like such relatively small problems that future software updates and hardware tweaks can correct.

So yea, it might cost MS a few million users in the first couple years, but in the big picture it doesn't really mean much. People will still want to play games.

I mean, whatever issues the Xbone has it's not going to be the steaming pile that the Vita or Wii U is. It's problems seem more cosmetic than structurally fucked.

I'm not sure I agree.  The race is on at the start to see which platform becomes the definitive platform for multiplatform titles.  The more Xbone stumbles, the easier it is for the PS4 to be the preferred platform to play COD, Madden, etc. on.  Considering how important online gaming is for both of these consoles, having a shit Xbone initial experience could result in significant damage.

As long as the Wii U fails, it's all I give a shit about.

Focusing on hardware specs and quality of ports is fair game, imo.

I'm curious about how the (few?) native 1080p games will run on 720p sets.  will XB1/PS4 downsample or run at a lower resolution? some ps3 games ran smoother at 720p vs 1080p (SotC HD is one).

What is with the third console iteration that makes console manufacturers go full distinguished mentally-challenged fellow?  You had the N64, the PS3, and now the Xbone.

On the merits of what we've seen so far, Battlefield 4 is already set to be a formidable launch window effort from DICE. Our observations so far reveal a clear gap in fidelity between PC and PS4, and again to Xbox One, but sub-pixel break-up aside, based on what we've seen so far, the Microsoft console manages to hold up despite the undeniable, quantifiably worse metrics in terms of both resolution and frame-rate.

One reason why I bought 2 high-end GPUs for SLI/Crossfire was to throw it in dark1x's face whenever he brings up how PS3 is amazing 'cuz it wasn't  really possible to play many PC games with max graphics at 1080p/60fps

But seriously, this is probably a better deal than either console for people with decent CPUs,

Post by: Shaka Khan on October 29, 2013, 12:19:11 AM
Never mind, it's explained in the article...

Quote
This leads us to a second issue that affects both console releases: gamma levels. We went into the review event having never hooked up our equipment to either next-gen platform before, and our tests with BF4 gave some curious results we want to revisit with the final game on retail hardware. Similar to the Xbox 360, Microsoft's new platform seems to enforce a colour push towards the lower end, leaving us with more saturated colours and deeper blacks. It's just cause to head towards Battlefield 4's brightness settings, but in the interest of a fair test we kept this at the default 30 per cent for all platforms.

Curiously, the top end is also affected, causing the image to appear distinctly washed out, as if set to limited range. This is particularly evident on PS4, which is kept free of a comparable black push to Microsoft's platform to compensate. Right now there's every possibility that it could be a capture situation, but it is worth noting that we saw no such issue on our PC captures and after returning to base, the same equipment produced a perfectly balanced picture on our PlayStation 3.

Most will probably overlook this, and I'm glad for that. Them snaggots need to be drowned in a deluge of trolls. :hitler

There was an explanation a while back about the differences between the esram and edram, and how the former might not enjoy all the benefits of the latter. On top of that someone who's tech savvier than myself explained how rendering, especially deferred, might be more difficult/restricted due to the esram (something something double rendering a scene something fillrate something 32mb restriction).

case of xb1 version isn't as bad as people made it out to be, ps4 version isn't as good as people made it out to be.  solution: play on PC; there's even a bar to increase the internal res if 1080p ain't cutting it.

That's not an intentional difference. Read the quote I posted— the xbone, much like the 360 and PS3 have access to the full range of RGB and pushes more saturated colors, deeper black, and brighter whites. Whereas the PS4 at this point is held back by a limited range, which could change since it's something adjusted at an OS level.

(This is all based on my understanding of the issue on current gen systems.)

Pretty surprising that PS4 had slightly better framerate in SP despite the higher resolution and AO effects.

case of xb1 version isn't as bad as people made it out to be, ps4 version isn't as good as people made it out to be.  solution: play on PC; there's even a bar to increase the internal res if 1080p ain't cutting it.

Like supersampling?

yeah, I forgot what the option is called in the beta, but you can downsample right there in the game settings.  pretty nice to see.

I kinda like that the PS4 version is brighter like that, i hate when everything looks saturated and black like a Michael Bay flick.

That's down to your TV settings and color range.  You can get those XB1 crushed blacks on PS4, or that PS4 washed out look on XB1.

digital foundry always had that problem when showcasing the differences.  it's weird that it's carried over to the next systems.

edit: it's funny that the hud is bigger in the XB1 version.  could've at least scaled it down.

I was just on Gaf earlier and man are some of those guys spinning into the ground you can feel the disappointment and anger from some of the more pro Sony boys on there. That the knockout punch they've been drooling about didn't come. From reading some people's posts, I was expecting it to be an utter devastation, watching both of them I couldn't really tell a massive difference between them. They both look decent enough.

I think it's more xbots being in denial about how big the gap is already.

BF4 has no AA on xbone, and runs at half the resolution.  That's tragic.

PS4 is already running in circles around the Xbone, in a year or two games on Xbone will drop to sub HD again I bet.

It does not fucking matter if you like the look of the XB1 version more, it is OBJECTIVELY better on the PS4!
It has around an extra one half pixels over the XB1 version, it has effects that the XB1 version is lacking and has correct colour, unlike the XB1 version!

If you don't like it go invent a device that can take you to an alternate universe that has the XB1 as the better version, because it is not fucking true in this universe!

Holy shit @ the PS4fags meltdowns.

So they literally traded places this time around (I remember posts where people liked the PS3 version of a game even though it had some issues compared to the 360 and the 360 side getting mad. Also the PS3 side would use mental gymnastics) :heh.

They're saying that it's almost impossible to see a difference between PS4 and PC version. They compared it to BF4 running on a high-end PC with a "pretty expensive Radeon card". They're also expecting that if you're an owner of a PC that costs less than 1000€ then it will look worse than on PS4 if you want to target 60fps. 60fps is almost perfectly available in PS4 version. Given the low price of the PS4, they say that this definitely speaks for the console and against the PC version. In this video the PS4 version looks brighter due to the recording that they're using. There are some effects like water drops on the windscreen that are missing in the PC version even though they are available for PS4. Shadows, level of detail, etc are indistinguishable. Game runs smoothly even in "bombastic scenes"

The conclusion: They're recommending the PS4 version because of the 400€ price point for the hardware.

no worries.

i do have my mind made up about what console im getting - but it doesn't have to do with stuff like this. i am genuinely curious how the bone at 720p comes out looking pretty goddam good up against the ps4 at 900p. all the sfegs hoping for a 1080p powerhouse were deluding themselves from the very start - but 900p is a hell of a lot better direction to be heading into next gen than 720p.

Max gap in FPS - 14, and thats before the Xb build has AO which will widen this gap.

That's a max 14 fps gap (40% more fps on PS4), with 50% higher res, AO and AA

Nah, it's pretty obvious even in the preview thumbnail. The textures are obviously higher res on the PS4, the edges don't flicker because the resolution is higher and the AA is there/better. Framerate, too.

But yeah, pretty much a GUN situation. Which reminds me of its horrendous PC port. :holeup

So has dark10x been doing these comparisons, or is this his first one?

He didn't do the comparison - this is the best part.

IIRC comparison has been done by some other DF guy. As yall know the comparison showed that Xbone version looks... good, good enough to be mistaken with the "superior, ultimate" PS4 version that was hinted for last weeks by "insiders" on GAF.

Sfags felt threatened by this, very, very threatened. So much that dark10x - an employee of Digital Foundry - started explaining to them on GAF "Dudes, it is ok, Xbone version of BF4 looks like shit as you always wanted. It is our fault, LOL! We made a mistake during the process! Sorry, Sony!"

Dark10x found Sony and PS4 so much in danger in that GAF thread that he actually started defending Sony and condamning his own employer - Digital Foundry - as a site that made the grave mistake of showing Xbone version "not in a bad enough spotlight".

Sfags rejoiced and started to call for a blacklist of Digital Foundry on GAF because of "their MS paid agenda".

How dumb can you be, really?

To put your own job in danger only because you feel your favourite company - that you are an unpaid, disgusting mouthpiece of - looked not as good as you wanted it to look.

That is the epitome of fanboism. Dark10x is sucha dumb Sony fanboi. Such a fake-ass PC gamer as well. Durante, Dennis and Sethos are 10x the PC gamers and PC gaming contributors dark10x aspired to be.

Now that Richard Leadbetter - the head of DF (?) - explained this GAF wants to ban him forever on GAF and have his name filtered out (so whenever somebody typed Richard Leadbetter it would come out as ******).

Sfags are the worst. #THEWORST

Lol what is wrong with these people, why are they so angry?

GUN was an HD port before HD ports.  No additional effort besides higher resolution.  This looks closer to something like Far Cry Instincts Predator.  There are other comparisons that show how much better the water looks on PC/PS4/XB1.  And it's nice that something is improved.  iirc the one notable improvement to AC3 on PC was the snow deformation.

Notices a single frame drop from 60 fps to 59 fps in any single PC title on a $2000 PC rig.

Does not notice sub 27 fps framerate in PS3 exclusive titles

HUMAN FRAPS INDEED

Nailed it

There are plenty of PC gamers who legitimately care more about image quality and framerate than dark1x ever did.  If I can't get a game running at max settings, 1080p, 60fps, I just put it aside and wait for better hardware. 

dark1x basically stopped giving a crap about 60fps once the PS2 era ended and Sony devs stopped trying to deliver that kinda performance


Still, I hope this turns out well for dark1x.  We were quite friendly in private despite our many squabbles.  Last I heard of him, he was happily married to a French lady and was planning to move to France.

So has dark10x been doing these comparisons, or is this his first one?

He didn't do the comparison - this is the best part.

IIRC comparison has been done by some other DF guy. As yall know the comparison showed that Xbone version looks... good, good enough to be mistaken with the "superior, ultimate" PS4 version that was hinted for last weeks by "insiders" on GAF.

Sfags felt threatened by this, very, very threatened. So much that dark10x - an employee of Digital Foundry - started explaining to them on GAF "Dudes, it is ok, Xbone version of BF4 looks like shit as you always wanted. It is our fault, LOL! We made a mistake during the process! Sorry, Sony!"

Dark10x found Sony and PS4 so much in danger in that GAF thread that he actually started defending Sony and condamning his own employer - Digital Foundry - as a site that made the grave mistake of showing Xbone version "not in a bad enough spotlight".

Sfags rejoiced and started to call for a blacklist of Digital Foundry on GAF because of "their MS paid agenda".

How dumb can you be, really?

To put your own job in danger only because you feel your favourite company - that you are an unpaid, disgusting mouthpiece of - looked not as good as you wanted it to look.

That is the epitome of fanboism. Dark10x is such a dumb Sony fanboi. Such a fake-ass PC gamer as well. Durante, Dennis and Sethos are 10x the PC gamers and PC gaming contributors dark10x ever aspired to be. Luckily PC GAF has finally seen through him.

Now that Richard Leadbetter - the head of DF (?) - explained this and why Dark10x was wrong and should *not* explain to GAF something that he wasn't aware of 100% GAF wants to ban him forever on GAF and have his name filtered out (so whenever somebody typed Richard Leadbetter it would come out as ******).

Quote from: Derrick01;87963237
Is it possible to just ban leadbetter from the site?  Like how we ban whole sites, but with just his name so it appears as ******** from now on?

Quote from: graywolf323;87978649
seriously screw Leadbetter, I'm boycotting DF now

I support this as well, he has zero credibility at this point

Quote from: crazepharmacist;87971515
I vote for banning DF. Or at least Leadbetter articles

Quote from: $h@d0w;87963181
What a mess, reminds me of microsoft's own messes - another rush job

dice should blacklist these clowns - they basically made their game look shit and misrepresented it

Quote from: Dynedom;87963905
DigitalFoundry doesn't deserve dark10x, tbh.

Sfags are the worst. #THEWORST

Dark10x has always been a cheerleader for certain platforms while bordering on concern-troll for others... Digital Foundry comparisons have routinely made huge pronouncements over the nitpickiest of observations, and GAF has been taking their opinion prima facie without bothering to do any investigation themselves -- it's been kind of funny to watch them get caught out by that bad capture, throwing everything in to question. We are perhaps about to venture towards the nadir of pre launch ps4 hype, it will obviously be nowhere near as bad as xbone, but I get the sense of expectations re-aligning to reality, and the possibility of emotional backlash in the offing. It's nothing to do with anything Sony have done wrong, it's their obnoxious fanbase having press ganged every thread and believing their own fumes. Every non victory is like a huge embarrassment. Calling for the banning of Leadbetter and DF is pathetic.

Titanfall exclusivity. Lol. Lol I tell you. Open wide the maws of butthurt!

I like the poster well enough but his double standard on preferring shittier console framerates becuase they are "out of his control" vs. clearly superior (and still not perfect, mind you) PC image quality is just absurd. There is no amount of logic that explains this outside of extreme OCD, which he should be able to self diagnose as a personal defect and not crap on PC gaming (and extol shitty current-gen IQ) using his own defects as a rationale.

the lamest justification for why I'm getting a PS4 is that I don't need to get a new GPU yet.  I max out these games out and they run perfectly fine  :-\

If its a single player game, rarely do I play music. Unless I'm grinding in a jrpg, but then I just listen to a podcast from my computer or iOS thing. Same for a multiplayer game.

If its a MMO or game like Civ sure, but I'm on a computer where it's easier to play music anyway.

I use my own music in almost every racing game.   But I do miss games integrating custom tracks.  NFL 2K5 on xbox let you customize the music for everything (e.g.: play let's dance when my team makes it to the endzone).  PGR2 played your music as a radio station, with DJ and everything.  Wipeout HD distorted music in tunnels or off big ramps.

Yep that was what was disapointing about the 360. It dropped the orginal's intergration of custom soundtracks for general use.

It was sort of a novelty to have PGR2 actualy use my music as the actual soundtrack or at least have games use it beyond playing over a forced muted soundtrack.

Xbone OS reservation is insane.

2 full CPU cores
10% of GPU time
3GB RAM
8GB Flash memory
Tons of audio processing power
+ who knows what else

Not to mention that there are like three OS there.

- Few hours later his console got banned as he was playing Ghosts
- Got called by Major Nelson and they talked things over
- Was more peeved about having his video taken down
- His console will be allowed to access Xbox LIVE before launch
- The copyright strike on his video will also be removed before launch
- He has been invited to attend Microsoft's Xbox One launch event
- Will be able to share more about his experiences with the console at a later date
- Is still able to play Ghosts offline
- Everything appears to be A OK between André and MS
- Target says that about 150 consoles were mailed out by accident

Kinda ironic that the first Xbone landed into arms of a pretty good xbot.I thought he was going to have sex with it.He loves the machine,has no clue what his TV res is,likes COD and thinks that XO version is much better than 360 one.

On the other hand first PS4 landed into this guy hands

He is planning to sell it for a profit.

What kind of company would allow their potential CEO to openly admit he'd sell the Xbox division the very month a new Xbox system drops on shelves?

MS got it right eventually but the initial fuck up was so stupid, again. The stereotypical Xbot got an early console, jizzed all over the Internet with positive impressions that actually sound interesting/tempting...and MS shuts him down. He was doing better PR for the damn thing than MS has since the XB1's reveal.

LMAO that second emote.  :lol

But yeah, Microsoft needs to fire their PR department. They could've pulled Live's next-gen servers if him being on it before they were ready was a problem but given it's up I'm thinking they're still doing some "beta testing" before launch in two weeks and that's why he got "banned."

I think he was banned by Skynet,purely automated ban.Machine realized there was some unknown entity poking around the system...banned

The problem here is that Xbone is literally a brick without system update.But that will get sorted quickly after launch(update on discs/new consoles).

apparently the guy who got it early found video calibration tools built in to the system.  that's the coolest part of the xbox one.  I had to switch between star wars dvds, pixar blurays, wipeout hd, and the halo 3 bonus dvd to get video and audio squared on my new TV.

everything else sounded normal.  mandatory installs are worse than I expected, but most people install 360 games so w/e.  the one known example is call of duty that needed 50% installed (~20 minutes) to start.  since cod is something like 40 gigs it might be the worse case scenario.

Balmer is done,hopefully new boss sells Xbox to more competent people(just hire the guy handling XO games).That should be easy...

Things like this happen like every 7-10 years,good time to laugh at various idiots.The real fun begins after launch though,can't wait to see sales results :hyper

I wish it was 2014 already :(


Tomorrow we should see some PS4 games in EU chartz

Since Xbox and PS4 are both basically just PCs, Sony can buy Xbox One deadstock and sell them as PlayStation Minis :teehee

It's weird because I think Xboner has a pretty cool OS especially if you like to use media services. But it's apparently lacking in the hosepower.

So like a sensible and rational person that I so obviously am, I actually should wait a year to see if shit evens out in graphics vs. software features. I still doubt I'll ever use kinect for anything.

RRRRRISE FWOM YO' GWAVE!

Thanks to Sho Nuff bequeathing his Xbone to me, I'm finally part of the XBONE GENERATION.

121 of my digitally purchased 360 games area available to play. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE! In fact, Crackdown 2, which always self-corrupted when downloading on my360, finally loaded and is playable. KILLS FOR SKILLS, AGENT. It's ugly now, but so nostalgic. Next, I'ma try my disc versions of GTA III and Buffy the Vampire Slayer games!

BLESSED SHO NUFF.
