From the chats I have had with them they only list what they have. i.e. when you do a bundle swap you will only see bundles that are available to you on the same date as your current order (launch). It may be when you looked that the particular bundle was out of stock for launch. They wouldnt want people swapping their launch pre-order to a bundle that couldnt be delivered at launch would they?
I have to put my two pence in for shopto here. Their service has never been anything short of stella to me. Have raised a few tickets recently and they have always been answered efficiently and with knowledge within half an hour or there abouts. I suspect there may be more to this story than we are seeing in the news but certainly if you have not used them before do not take this as any kind of representation of what they are like.
Again and again... The reason devs go for parity is they don't want it all over the net that one version is weaker than the other. Its human nature... If you think a game is a poor mans version you might just not bother at all. Think of it this way... You are happy to buy an iPhone 4. Once the 5 is out the 4 seems less attractive even though it's exactly the same propersition that was available in the absence of the 5. The key thing though is many people will not want a new console s...
People dont seem to get that Sony were going down the DRM route too. They pulled it to get one over on MS.
Remember when originally asked the question about second hand games when MS first annoucned. They avoided the question.
q: "will ps4 play second hand games?"
a: "Well what do you want? you want to be able to play at your friends? we wont stop you doing that".
Its pretty obvious to me from what was sa...
Something that is inferred in many interviews with people on both sides but is never spelled out clearly. While the ps4 is running more CUs, it seems that because of "balance" devs will generally not use them all and use four of them for compute tasks.
What I wonder is if devs can just use all of them of they want to or a bottle kneck kind of limits them to using what they can use and sticking compute functions on the remainders?
ditto, once I am regged ill stick to my shopto preorder that already exists.
The problem is many people who read the headlines or follow word of mouth believe tish like this. While MS have lost me a bit with the one I dont think its fair on them to make stuff up about them or over state their faults while never mentioning those of Sony as happens here. Its just making N4G useless.
Well its not that intelligent because intent lag only causes problems with other players not your own. Gaming net code 101 :o)
p.s. I still vote its the TV. Also the game may be 60fps but thats a useless statistic if its not recorded in 60fps. Oh wait... its not.
Random through. It would be interesting if someone could implement voice and facial tracking though Kinect to test of dishonesty. There is maybe some weird game in there somewhere such as where you need to lie your way through things.
It seems to be its all to do with hand size. I can handle both but the ps pads are not comfortable for someone like me with big hands as the pad is too small and the angle I have to set my thumbs at is not natural. The pad design was created with Japanese hands in mind of course.
I think they mean windows 8 games as in metro games... not any PC game.
Res and framerate is one thing but quality settings is another. Ps4 might get better aa etc... time will tell.
Ok I have a confession. I am really the insider and the xbox one actually has 3 titans inside it but its all secret as amd doesnt know yet. ;-)
I dont know why I get hooked on reading that blog its horrendous. Lol. Funny
You are assuming these fans were around for those previous launches. Many of the trolls around today will be 16-21 and would of not been in a position to think about consoles at launch for the 360 never mind the original xbox. I on the other hand... remember them both well :o(
I love the way you take the statement that something is good for shooters and turn that into its not as good for other types of games. It blows my mind that sony still have not put the left stick in the place of the dpad. Its the most natrual position for the most used stick.
I really wish people wouldnt be "fans" of either company. To become a fan is to be come blinded one way or the other. Then we end up with threads like this which are just a waste of space. Pro xbox fans defending xbo and ps4 fans making irrational and illgrounded attacks on xbo.
Its a beautiful thing to be impartial but it does mean its annoying as 90% of the comments are coming from an ill educated, bias, propaganda inducing perspective. I get it when I was 16 I wa...
Kudos for trying something different. Imagen if ms or sony had gone with this. Thwy wouldnt its too risky but would of put the cat in with the pigeons.
How many people have no understanding of how computer software / hardware works?
all games, with the exception of a few indie / unique games use 100% of the console.
as other people who actually understand things have said its not about how much power you use but how much value you get out of that power.
So... he actually explains this in the artical. meh at you all.
***I hear it a lot: ‘are you using the hardware?’ The truth i...
5 reasons why I cancelled my XBO order (was going both previously.. now just ps4)
1) TV, the only thing that could justify the extra cost (love it or hate it) will not work in the UK for "Some time". MS has just blown the only selling point it had over its rival for people in the UK. I will get one eventually but I am not risking a launch unit ill let them fix the bugs, actually deliver some features then ill jump in.
2) Their PR has been completely...
