Man, people will find anything to compare. If the PS4 took 5 minutes to boot up and the X1 took 30 seconds, would anyone NOT have bought a PS4? People just looking for stuff to compare and make an argument for which is better.

"yea well I get Titanfall."
"well my PS4 boots up in less time"
winner lol

Stsonic4582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

Biased much? This has nothing to do with an unreleased game which may or may not be the new "cod"

PS4 saves you an hour for every 20 boots. Whilst this is not really important it's still nice information to have.

Sci0n4582d ago

are we factoring in the reduced boot time for the PS4 for vita users who want to boot there consoles up and have there game of choice launched and ready to play before they get home? or if they don't feel like waiting until they get home and they have a solid internet connection they can play it on the go.

I_am_Batman4582d ago

"PS4 saves you an hour for every 20 boots."

I can't play the video right now but I'm pretty sure you miscalculated something. It would mean the PS4 boots 3 minutes faster then the X1.

Stsonic4582d ago

Yes batman you are correct 20 boots will save you just over 10 minutes. I am not usually so stupid with numbers :/

r1sh124582d ago

@stsonic.
Umm 20 boots saves 1 hour? WHAT kind of maths is that.

VENOMACR12274582d ago

My comment wasn't meant to be "Titanfall rules thats why you should buy an X1, PS4 sucks." I meant it like, who buys a system based on boot time? I just used Titanfall as an example that people buy systems for the games, not the boot time. That's my bad for not being clear.

BISHOP-BRASIL4581d ago

The only thing I'm getting from this whole boot time articles is that each and everyone of them is getting different results... WTF is wrong with this? Do these guys don't know how to read/operate a stopwatch or what?

OMG god bless you @VENOMACR1227 #1 someone who finally get's it and thinks like a human being and not some sad specimen.

Let's be friends because you are normal and think as such also.

These people under the stairs or stuck in front of the screen zombies will eat you for stating that fact.

abzdine4582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

you humans think weird!
cause in my world Titanfall isn't exclusive to x1.

VENOMACR12274582d ago

It's exclusive to MS. I love how people act like it's not an exclusive jut because PS4 isn't getting it.

Anyways, my point wasn't that Titanfall is greatest game ever, it was that games make the system, not the boot time. Was just an example using a game.

Sleepless4582d ago

Yeah we know....you are gonna play it on PC

Or better yet...you dont give a f#@k

I would love for someone to explain how Microsoft owning Windows = Microsoft owning the PC market too. Would LOVE to hear that farce, I mean legitimate explanation.

We could debate on which console got the best games for hours, but let's be honest, both consoles got great games to play.

So the choice comes with the hardware for now. For me, since I already have a great PC for gaming, I prefer more performance for the price when getting a console. Maybe I got spoiled by the PC graphics over the years.

muttsurini4582d ago

Well i can get titanfall for the pc with 1080p.

LeCreuset4582d ago

While I agree that it's a bit much to compare boot times (I didn't even watch the vid), your comment ends on a petty note, as if PS4 only has a boot time and doesn't have games like Uncharted 4, Gran Turismo 7, The Order, and Infamous SS coming to it.

TRGMatt4582d ago

Last gen the justifications for why one system was better than another were insane for a long time. Trivial things such as boot up times and OS streamlining (not functionality...streamlining) were arguments and I believe even bootup times for both the machines and games were "reasons why I can't buy a PS4" while free vs paid online gaming and multiple disc changes - another trivial argument - were largely ignored. They're all fruitless.

And don't get PC people started, either :p

xbox one boots up in stand by faster

mushroomwig4582d ago

Yeah, it's surprising how the PS4 boot time vs it's standby time is basically the same.

Having said that, there's no excuse for a 1 minute boot time on the Xbox One, not everybody wants to increase their energy bills by leaving the console on standby.

FANTA11804582d ago

not sure if you pay bills , but do you know what .22 watts cost ? lmao

LordDhampire4582d ago

@fanta, you'd be suprised at how energy sensitive some console gamers are.....it amazes me hkw cheap these people are....

It would take four ps4 on full load to come near my pc on power consumption, things a monster

Mister_G4582d ago

I've theory why that might be ....

Kinnect is always listening, even in standby, so the Xbox is probably more powered up when in standby than the PS4 is.

It's only a theory though, don't jump on me :)

FANTA11804582d ago

on standby the xbox does consume a bit more due to kinect being on standby also ...

its like 15 watts vs. 8 watts(ps4)

Apex134582d ago

3 people disagreed. errrrm HOW? it was in the vid. I have a ps4 and I have to say it does. odd balls

neocores4582d ago

My ps4 boots from cold in 10secs stand by less then 5

KingDadXVI4582d ago

Seriously? Who cares. I was more interested in the Nokia Windows phone ad. I think I might just go with a Nokia next time.

4logpc4582d ago

I've had 920 since launch. I'll never go back to another OS.

Wikkid6664582d ago

920 is great phone... can't wait to see what is coming out next year when my contract is up.

SpinalRemains1384582d ago

Never had a Lumia, but I have been a WP supporter going back to WM.

WP is outstanding. In the 2.5 years I have been using the OS, it has never crashed once. Not one time.

KingDadXVI4582d ago

I think that good things are on the way for WM and Nokia. Windows 8 seems to be catching on finally and is starting to displace android on mobile platforms (more on tablets than anything but it is coming). I read a report on Forbes I think that was saying it looked like it would move ahead of android by 2015 if its growth continued.

People can bash windows but it sure is convenient to have it on all of your platforms.

Hellbringer4582d ago

Both are very slow. My PC needs 16 seconds

Thegamer414582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

Your PC is also slow, mine takes 8 seconds.

Edit:

If you have a good SSD (connected correctly) and disable all the start up screens from the BIOS, its possible.

Hellbringer4582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

Wow, that sounds fast. Is that even possible?
You are right. My PC is slow.

EDIT: Thank you. I'll try it.

Apex134582d ago

PC fight. Let's get it on. Makes a change from the fan boys lol

Mister_Dawg4582d ago

Depends what sleep state you're using, S3, S4 or maybe even hybrid. But with an SSD it'll be fast, like you said.

Booting from cold on a pc, has too many variables to take into account. Many of which are windows, software and driver related. Little to do with the bios. Although some start up screens will slow it a couple of seconds, granted.

If people feel they are losing a few seconds of their life because of a slower boot-up time, then maybe your life is filled with too many empty, dull moments ;-)

How fast does it boot naughty dog games?

OrangePowerz4582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

Faster than the Xbox one because they are unfortunate and don't get those great games. :)

LordDhampire4582d ago

@mister_dawg, or maybe my life is so extreme and fast pace I dont wanna lose a second of it

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga40d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot39d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose40d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE40d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername39d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy40d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde39d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8639d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8639d ago (Edited 39d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300040d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle40d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7739d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
