In light of all the delays with next gen stuff I dont have any faith that it will be done in the first half of 2014.. that was based off their presentation at e3 where they said they will do it in stages but it is going to require time and a significant investment. I think they are so bogged down with launch and improving the OS before launch that Gaikai i on the back burner for a while.
Sony has not really shown much of the new and improved PlayStation store so im not sure h...
Gaikai isnt available yet and Sony themselves said it is going to take a really long time to develop it.... The touch pad doesn't make sense for the dual shock controller and several devs have said they either arent going to use it or dont know how it improves their games...
The share button is the only item from your list that I personally think is a pretty cool feature. I am not sure how many of the average gamers are going to use it but we will see.
I ...
I wonder when digital foundry is going to do a proper comparison of the consoles.
One thing ive learned from PC gaming is sometimes when you move the resolution up you have to compromise some of the eye candy to get it running at a steady 60 fps.
It is entirely possibly that the PS4 had to compromise something to get the system running at 1080p vs the X1 who may have opted for 720 with more or less eye candy?
What seems to amaze me about this whole debacle ... is people gave the Wii U such a hard time with black ops 2 saying it should have ran the game better... Yet now the xb1 and ps4 are getting passes because Infinity Ward was being lazy and didnt optimize the game properly for next gen...
I guess it has come full circle .. the next gen consoles are having the same issues with optimization that the Nintendo fans have been clamoring about for the Wii U.
Just simply stating a fact.. both consoles will be able to do 1080p in respective games based on what devs decide they want to do.
So it really comes down to what exclusives you want and which os / controller you prefer.. I dont get why there has to be a fight over which console is technically superior ..
The graphics on both are going to look good... other factors are going to drive sales not just graphics.
Wii U
299.99 Console + Two Games + Free Online
49.99 Wii Party U + Wii Remote
49.99 Pro Controller
For 400 bux you get 3 controllers, 3 games, motion gaming, backwards compatibility with the Wii, and free online for the same exact price of a PS4 with no online, second or third controller, or a game..
That is insane entry value for anyone... How much more did you want off before you purchase?
I believe going into thank...
I think people have an unrealistic expectation of what next gen should look like.
Is it a take over .. or did the retailer not buy enough stock? Id feel a bit safer about how well it sold if it was confirmed that retailers are buying a lot of these bundles to stock on their shelves or store in their warehouses for online sales.
Dont know why everyone is so uptight on rez lol and frames ... buy the system that has your exclusives and the operating system you like the best...
You cant change what devs do with hardware... And you cant judge a consoles capabilities or graphics at launch...
I think people are underestimating the time it takes to make games like The Last of Us and Beyond... Hell even GTA 5... Those games take forever to make ... People think the ps4 and x1 are going to release and they are going to sell 6 million units in 3 months and every game will be sold out.
Sony and MSFT by all accounts are having problems with the OS and releasing games on time like Nintendo.... Watch Dogs and Drive Club are the most notable of the launch titles that were ...
Sega didnt have nearly as many heavy hitters as Nintendo and had several failing consoles prior to the Dreamcast ... You do realize that Nintendo has over a 10 billion dollar cash reserve dont you? If they really needed to take drastic measures they actually could.
Also Nintendo could source a few games out and manage their development like they did with Smash Bros and Wii Sports Club to keep up pace of the releases. With the release of just 2 games they managed to increase ...
I think everything is going to ride on xmas 2013 and how they maintain the sales momentum through 2014 with their heavy hitters...
If you look at their financials you can clearly tell the release of pikmin and windwaker actually helped sales increase... These arent HUGE titles but they are still driving system purchases. They didnt perform as well as they hoped but I believe going into the holidays things will pick up quite a bit.
They are going to flood the ...
I think once they scale back support for the 360 and ps3 developers will eventually pick up for the Wii U... Right now they are just making a decision to not do a good job on the Wii U because it takes time and money .. and since they know the Wii U version isnt going to sell it makes no point to focus on it and divert resources away from their money making platforms.
Nintendo needs to do a damn good job between now and then to push units out the door and create a bigger inst...
There is a difference between 880 by 720 and actual 720 rez which is 1280 by 720 which I'm assuming x1 will be running at
As a wiiu and soon to be ps4 owner it is upsetting they have the Wiiu at the same fake 720 rez as the 360 and ps3
It is amazing that the media isnt grilling Sony on the Vita like they are with the Wii U... If anything Sony needs the PS4 to be incredibly successful because of the failure of Vita and other areas of their business. The game division at Sony has been one of the only shining stars as of late and needs to succeed.
People keep saying the Wii U isnt living up to the expectations of the Wii ... Yet the PS3 didnt even living up to the same expectations of the PS2 in terms of sales...
All they will need to do honestly at this point is Stop production of the Wii in the US.. They have already done that for Europe and Japan. That will create more of a market for the Wii U because the Wii is still selling on par with it. Once they narrow the customers selection to just the Wii U confusion will begin to reduce. Possible buy back of old Wiis from retailers might also help accelerate this process.. that way come holidays all you can choose from is Wii U bundles. (The money they a...
If they weren't second party .. would everyone sh!t if they said "Starfox |U|niverse here we come!!"
I have said this time and time again .. When Nintendo decided to call it the Wii U rather than the Nintendo U or something else they dug their own grave. In order to help the Wii U they need to stop selling the Wii Entirely and flood retailers with Wii U bundles..
Employees of target and walmart arent telling people it is different or dont care.. education cant be left to retailers .. You have to just put 1 product on the shelf and force the consumer to buy 1 of the 4 Wii U B...
Pretty much the difference you would see on a PC going from LOW to Medium / High..
Id imagine that COD / AC are both prior gen engines ported to next gen (even tho the devs will tell you otherwise). Most obvious improvements you will see off the bat are better frames rate, resolution, and draw distance.
I think for the first year or so you are going to see what Developers do when they port to PC since the ps4/x1 have similar architectures. Developers cant aba...
I played forza at the mall today and it looked pretty good... Super clear and stable fps truly the only game in their launch lineup they should be bragging out ...
Now on the other hand Killer Instinct was nice because it was 60 fps but you can totally tell it is uprezed from 720p... It was reallllllly grainy and the color was very washed out..
Loco cycle looks like a random rushed shovelware game and had several noticeable frame drops throughout the demo.
