The problem with optional accessories is that not all developers will utilise it. Its why Nintendo made the Wii Remote standard so every developer will use it. MS with Kinect 2.0 did the same thing. VR will be great but only great to the few. The headset is almost half the cost of an actual next gen console.
These days most people already have great TVs, I am pretty sure they would rather just play there games on the big screen. VR will take off for PC gaming but console gam...
I believed the hype and I am having one hell of a time with Titanfall.
You do know that Unreal Engine 4 is going to take advantage of DX12 and that's one of the best gaming engines on the market. Epic and MS are working together on it. So expect Unreal Engine games to utilise DX12 and again since its only available to Windows and Xbox there's going to be benefits.

You clearly have no idea how Titanfall plays. Its not about who has the most players hence why Cod outsells BF all the time and it uses half the amount of players. Let me dumb down the bots in Titanfall so you can understand. Bots in Titanfall are like collecting items, the more items you collect the better your team becomes, instead in Titanfall the bots aren't there to kill you (However it does happen) The more bots you kill the better your team stands a chance on winning. They remove t...
Its amazing how sad you fanboy try to praise your platform of choice. Honestly thinking one looks better then the other is stupid. Xb1 and PS4 look the same and this game is a bad example to prove power. Its a last gen game. XB1 and PS4 are all going to have good looking games on it as for 3rd party and indie games I couldn't care less which console offers better performance, I buy them on PC which outclasses both in that market. When I look at Uncharted 4 and Halo 5 they are both going t...
Judging by both PS4 and XB1 they look the same to me.
DX12 will be great and the fact its exclusive to MS platforms means its going to take advantage of some developers. Also XB1 also uses OpenGL so anyone saying OpenGL is going to get better well that also helps with XB1.
Your in defence mode and don't understand what DX12 is actually doing. There are 2 components to DX12. There's DX12 and D3D12. All which will help the XB1 manage its ram better (ESRAM) and taking out load from the CPU making the console breath easier when it comes to doing heavy task. Cloud Processing is still to come and hasn't been used to its advantages yet so Cloud Processing is far from dead. DX12 might also implement the Cloud better as well. Wait and see.

What is wrong with you... Since when does graphics proves a winner? Were you under a rock last gen? did you not see the Wii dominate sales charts last gen without using HD gaming. Did you not see the 3DS destroy the Vita with far less hardware power. Did you not see the PS2 dominate the charts with far inferior hardware to Gamecube and Xbox? If you think hardware and visuels mean everything in gaming then you havnt been gaming for long.
Good looking games and there Metascores...
Titanfall hasn't fallen short on its hype, its fantastic on all platforms (except 360, not sure yet) It sold well, got great reviews, where ever your hearing Titanfall has fallen short is an opinion with no facts to back it up.
Lets be honest here. Sony manage to sell there system by hyping and marketing. And all I hear is negative news on XB1 and WiiU when in fact they have the games available. What games are people buying the PS4 for.. Knack 54? Killzone SF 73? Infamous SS 80? probably but you look at the other library's and its weak. Fanboys follow companies blindly believing there getting the better system when in fact the PS4 has the least amount of quality AAA games available. WiiU has tons of great AAA ga...
To all the PS4 fanboy idiots on this article, buzz off, this is great news and no matter how you try to twist it is only making yourselves look bad. Face it MS were right about there system becoming stronger over time(PROOF DX12) There hardware doesn't have to be the best to get the best out of the games. Admit it, you troll so hard only to find out you made the wrong purchase because you followed hype and marketing again. MS isn't one of the richest companies in the world because the...
They said they can dip the light but they said you still cant turn it off. This is a bad article.

Those that don't understand. Forza 5 demo on PC was to show you how easy it is to port to PC and how much of the hardware it pushes, it doesn't make the game graphically better, but in saying this, the next game that uses DX12 will be able to push more, because it will be able to use less resources to accomplish the same thing.
I own a XB1 and I love it, however no console can take me away from PC gaming. I never heard about a 2nd GPU except for the media claiming there was. The media were stupid to feed the trolls and now people believed it. Because they were asking why there XB1 is so big, is there enough room for another GPU? Its the same media that blew up the cloud processing claiming its magic and trolls turned it into something MS never said.
These next gen console games are going to sell like hot cakes because lets be honest there's not much to buy on a PS4 or XB1 so Titanfall and Infamous are going to sell well. Look at Knack and Killzone, both mediocre games and Killzone sold 2 million units, that's a third of TLOU total sales. I can clearly tell you Killzone is nothing compared to TLOU in quality or gameplay.
Direct X 12 will help a lot for XB1 development. Optimising the specs and using less power to accomplish the same goals will allow alot more power to be spared, possibly allowing 1080p. However it doesn't bother me 1 bit, I play my games on PC so 1080p with 60 frames is standard, no BS from MS or Sony saying its 1080p / 60 frames when its not.
You honestly think people who have spent $500+ on a good Smart TV want to throw it down the toilet to use a VR Headset for gaming? You honestly think paying $250 is more valuable then what Kinect 2.0 offers? Only a Sony Fanboy would say it offers nothing to a hard-core gamer. Play Forza 4 and 5, Play Dead Rising 3, Play Halo Anniversary and tell me it does nothing for a gamer.
Kinect is standard across XB1 range which allows full developer support if they decide to use it. Ho...
Sony expects people to buy this for $250+? its too expensive for a gimmick, Casuals wont buy into it unless its under $150. Remember no one wanted Kinect because it added $100 to the XB1 price, no one will buy this either. Only the sheep in this thread say they would but I doubt any of you will purchase one.
Most Developers wont work on it because its not a standard so expect a small library of games to utilise it and for $250+ price? No
If you hate Guardian's review of Infamous SS then your going to hate most reviewers.
