I felt that everything Sony did last year was reactionary in order to counter MS. Quite desperate really.

You can bet they had the same kind of DRM in place for PS4, they've even said the PS4 has it as an option for devs, they wouldn't develop that for no reason. They were originally going to pack in the camera too, hence why they never had a reason to make it possible to turn the light off on the controller. They saw the response that Kinect had and decided to sell s...

While we are at it we should do the same with Sony and their E3 outing before PS3 released.

Afer all, it's only fair.

@AnteCash Absolutely. That's the way it's always been in Japan. They don't buy a system on a promise. It's why Xbox has never done well over there, if the Xbox brand had a lot of Japanese centric titles it would sell well. Simple.

It could be argued that it's very sensible and the Japanese people, as a whole, tend to be just that.

I thought crushed blacks were down to gamma settings. Just saying.

I don't know why everyone jumps on it. If you adjust your gamma - no more crushed blacks.

It was the same with PS3. I always had to lower the gamma because it output a darker image compared to 360. Now it's the other way round.

I don't know much about capture devices but if you can't adjust gamma then you will be stuck with crushed looking blacks on your feed. ...

Wow. Just wow.

What if the target visuals are well within the capabilities of both systems? Tell me how it pans out in that scenario.

Yes, the whole point of the pack in was to make it worthwhile for 3rd party developers to actually use its features.

Now it'll go back to being a first party platform and will be lost.

They should have reduced the price and given it away for free. It just makes me think that they may no longer believe in their own product if they're not willing to take a hit in order to get it out there.

@Allsystemgamer

The point of it being in every box is to make it worthwhile producing software for it, past first parties. If sold separately the installed base is harder to increase without plenty of software to justify the purchase. If the installed base isn't high then third parties don't see value in developing for it.

It's a "Catch 22" situation. It has the potential to be a great product but the support from 3rd parties needs to be...

You're kidding right?

N4G is one of the most PS4 centric sites I go on.

@Blues Cowboy

You're correct. With Edge a five is average. Anything above that is above average. Makes sense.

Most publications have a really warped way of grading, when you think about it. For them average tends to be 7 (or 70%) then anything below is poor. That doesn't makes sense, because, if we're simply talking about a percentage, 70% is 20 positions higher than the half way point. So, why wouldn't 50% be the average? It certainly should ...

They should drop the price by making the Kinect free. They shouldn't drop the Kinect itself.

According to developers the reason they didn't support it on 360 was because the installed base was too small to make it worthwhile including Kinect features or making a Kinect only title.

If every Xbox One has a Kinect then it takes away that issue and developers will begin to come up with better uses for it, past simple gimmicks.

In my opin...

It would be very concerning if any company had a monopoly. That company could then dictate prices, policies and any other standards they like.

Don't think for a moment that they wouldn't. They certainly wouldn't be for the gamer then. I guarantee it.

Competition is key for consumers.

A lot of people will disagree. They think that numbers sold must equate to money in the bank.

Ultimately, Mircrosoft can afford to make a loss if they choose and Sony cannot, this time.

That's a fact. It doesn't matter which side your loyalties lay.

Edge said this when they played it just before launch:

"It whips past the windscreen at a decent enough lick – although not, in its current state, at the target 60fps. Tree and foliage models have a whiff of placeholder about them, while tyre smoke isn’t quite the next-gen volumetric spectacle we’d hoped for. The cars look great, of course, but you’ll be hard-pressed to notice the fully modelled headlight lenses out on track. There have been few better showcases for new ...

Hilarious that you would get a disagree. As if that person was looking over your shoulder while you were playing and knows you're a liar. Ridiculous.

Same as me getting a disagree. Are they disputing that I've played over 100hrs? or that I haven't been suffering any of those issues? Surely not. I don't remember anyone who goes on this site sitting next to me while I play. That would be really creepy. I didn't dispute that the above poster was telling the t...

Bubble UPnP on Android works perfectly. You select the DLNA server you wish to use and the Xbox as the player and that's it. You can even setup playlists and let them play through.

It's designed for music but works fine with video and photos. If you're rooted you can even stream music from services like Spotify and Deezer straight to the Xbox.

I have to say that I never knew it didn't auto login if the kinect is not attached.

You would think there would be an option to set a default account but then it works so well with Kinect why would you not use it? I suppose, only if it completely ruins the look of your setup.

Wow, that's really bad.

I have to say that, while I did experience similar issues when the game came out, I haven't been suffering any of those things.

I've put in over 100 hrs since. It's strange how these things affect some and not others. Especially in single player. Plus, as far as I'm aware, the PS4 version is said to be more stable, at least that's what people say.

Oh yeah, I play it on Xbox One but that shouldn&...

I played last night and it was much better. Will have to see if it stays that way.

Fingers crossed.

It's because that figure is for the whole company.
