Yeah got to admit this has me concerned.
On the ps4 you can install your own 3.5 HDD... so can go 3TB +++
MS better not charge a premium for HDD upgrades.
On the other hand... is it possible to install the local content to the cloud? That would solve the HDD issue.
Anyone know?

Thanks for posting your kinect experience. It seems to have been a positive experience. Not sure why you got disagrees for simply speaking about your experience.
On a separate note, kinect2.0 works perfectly in very low lighting conditions, so that's not a concern for users anymore. It's this sort of thing that people don't know about that MS needs to advertise to gamers.
I have a possible answer as to why they are doing this.
Perhaps they want to show people that kinect is not mandatory to play the games, even for games designed for kinect.
Perhaps they want to demonstrate flexibility for their hardware and show consumers that they have the CHOICE to play this game even without kinect.
If you like the idea of playing with kinect, then great. If not, then great. You can sit in the recliner and play with a controller li...
You mean on day one withoput the a mandatory internet update all I can do is play a single player game?
Tthe ps4 won't play multiplayer without a mandatory update.
It also won't play movies.
It also won't have cross game chat.. and so on.
It seems I am getting about $200 value out of the $400 purchase without the mandatory update.
Spin it how you will.

Cripes, buddy. That has to be the longest wall of text yet posted on n4g. You mad, bro?
I never said that TV was innovation.
I have reported your comment as spam as you are plainly misquoting and misrepresenting my dialogue.
I am excited for the potential of kinect 2.0
I am happy that it is included with every xbo.
Looking forward to new experiences in that direction that take advantage of the installed ...
yep.
How on earth did you get disagrees for stating fact?
Is it potentially due to the fact that you did not spin this mandatory day one ps4 update into a positive?
Only on N4g.

@ gore content
Not sure why you are getting disagrees, as you are spot on.
ALL of the features of this 'feature update' were part of the marketing and promotion of the ps4. There is nothing new in there at all.
I guess the ps4 does require a day one internet connection after all.
Ok so I have read this story and it appears ALL of these features have been previously talked about and promised to day one ps4 buyers.
So, I am I missing something?
How is this an update that allows us to be "able to experience a variety of NEW FEATURES in addition to the basic functions of PS4"
As far as I can see all these 'new features' should have already been on the ps4 day one.
Does that mean the PS4 ...

I may get downbubbled by the fanboys for this, but it is worth saying.
I like that MS was trying to push gaming forward.
I am really sick of the same old same old game formula. More pixels =/= more fun necessarily.
We have had enough FP shooters to last a lifetime and if one has a few more pixels matters little.
It should be about fun.
Sad to say I have been getting bored by...
interesting thread, this one.
I too, am an older gamer and started gaming on the Atari 2600. Space invaders was the first game I ever played and it was so much fun. Then Pitfall, Miner 2049'er, Lazy Jones... the industry was all brand new and fresh and the limitations of the hardware forced developers to come up with new ideas to make games fun.
I am a little saddened that the focus has changed from innovation to squeezing a few more pixels out.

I like the sleek look of the XBO. Not only that tho. The form factor allows for some very good cooling of the hardware with a big fan and plenty of airflow.
PC builders have known for years how important the airflow around hot hardware is.

When I look at the small case of the ps4 I get worried about heat issues th...
A ps4 developer praising the ps4?
Stop the press!
This is unheard of!
Anywho, this game looks really interesting to me. I am a big fan of SavageMoon on ps3, which is a tower defence game.
Final Horizon has been described as "the evolution of tower defense". That sounds like fun!
A PS4 developer praising the ps4?
Stop the press!
This is unheard of!
Ok so on a less sarcastic related note, I have to ask what exactly is a 'true' gamer?
I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 and never stopped. By most people's standards I am a gamer, well and truly.
Now ironically, I am really looking forward to the implementation of Kinect 2.0 fitness. You know,that game where you jump around in front of the TV and it...
oh no. no no no.
This is n4g.com
No matter what the usable and realistic specs
No matter what the developer comments
No matter the reality
The ps4 is +50% because the comments say so

The wii u has 1080p games. That does not mean they look good.
@ studio
"I would say he's giving away the answer "
i would strongly disagree, sorry
That is not the message of the twitter I read.
It might be the message, if you frame it in the context of rumours, fear mongering and fanboy rants that precede the twitter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
That may be worth some deep thought....
excellent point.
Wii U also does 1080P
So now that 1080P has been debunked as the benchmark to be attained, can we find a more meaningful benchmark?
Well the truth is that if the MS reps do know, then they are not telling, for whatever reasons.
If they don't know, then they can't tell us anything further because there is nothing they could say. MS has given 3rd party developers carte blanche to make their own decisions in terms of resolution vs image quality. This is a consistent message that MS has maintained all along.
It's all speculation really, for fanboys to get their fanboy rocks off. F...
Another game using the power of the cloud not available on ps4.
closer?
This sounds really interesting.
I like the snapping of skype so I can watch sports or whatever while video calling with buddies... that's a great idea!
I live in Australia, though and i hope all this magic is not just for the US of A. It would suck for other countries to miss out on this stuff.
Getting excited about this box for sure!
