Yeah, I can see how that's part of it too. Not to mention, how many PS3's or 360's people had to buy during the current gen. It seems like the current consoles go out on a yearly basis, right after the warranty expires (think it's just a coincidence they used cheap solder that went out right around that time everytime?), but in the long run I imagine people spend just as much on consoles as people do on PC's. Just with PC's you're upgrading rather than replacing on...
Find it kind of odd that the poor quality video is in 1080p, and the higher quality one is in 720p.
I find it hilarious how defensive people get when anyone mentions PC's are better. Maybe it's not that "PC elitists" are arrogant, but that console fanboys are in denial? Seriously, he just wrote an article about why PC gaming is better, which are all legitimate claims and is his opinion, and everyone flips their lid. If you're so bothered by someone talking about why they like PC gaming, why read it? why bother replying? If PC gaming isn't your cup of tea, why bitch...
What gets me is the play and charge kit. I mean, this is supposed to be next-gen, shouldn't AA batteries be out the window by now without having to pay extra?
Not usually a big fan of free to play games, but had been wanting to try Rift for a while so I gave it a shot. I'll just say this, I think the way they did the in-game store is really impressive. There is a lot of content, and it didn't seem like anything was ridiculously over priced. I think the most expensive mount I saw was like $10, whereas in Neverwinter the most expensive mount was $40, which is just too much. They definitely leave the game open to being truly free to play, but ...
Bringing 10 year old PC graphics to tablets. I'm pretty sure they just made up that chart, even then, they compare it to an 8800 GTX, which is pretty damn old. This isn't something that will compete with consoles or gaming PC's, it's just powerful in comparison to other tablets/smartphones.
That doesn't even make sense... You're essentially saying you have to have an NVidia chip to use an NVidia chip? This post is about the new tablets coming out with Nvidia Tegra chips built in. That doesn't require purchasing anything further to use... except with Shield if you want to stream games.
And once again they try to talk up their platform, this time to an absolute extreme ("And to be in a place like Microsoft that has an advantage over the rest of the planet to use that power"), with never actually mentioning a single fact.
... He didn't just compare the Xbox One to the invention of western theatre, the printing press and the motion picture camera....
Epic facepalm
I have one of those too... it does have a little bit of input lag because it does frame interpolation to achieve it's advertised "240hz". It does do a lot better with frame interpolation than most TV's, but input lag in 3D is pretty bad.
I've been saying this for some time, it's cool they actually came out with an article about it and sounds like more people are starting to notice. In the past it's been hard to even find response time specs on TV, let alone reviews taking it into consideration. I can't even stand gaming on a TV unless it doesn't require fast reactions... like rpg's and what not. Game on a monitor for a while and then try going back to an larger LCD, it's unbearable.
Never heard of a 46 inch LCD with 8 ms response time. What model is it?
So... they're just skipping HD 8000 series?
“There’s More in It Than What You Find in a PC”
WTF does that even mean? It's hilarious how they come up with extremely vague comments to try to make PS4 look better than PC, and people eat it up ("I wonder how the "PC Master Race" feels about this quote!": I imagine they don't care, because they're not really even saying anything). When they come out with actual factual reasons why PS4 is better than PC, I won't care because I'm free t...
And if they're going to have all the information they want about our lives I think it's time they stop keeping so many "classified" secrets from us. I mean if we did the same thing, hack companies databases for personal information, we would go to jail. So much for justice and living in a free country.
Consider the whole ordeal with the league of legends player getting busted for his posts on Facebook. Now consider all of the 12 year olds screaming and yelling some of the most ridiculous obscenities on COD... I think we're going to need a new Guantanamo Bay for all of these "terrorists".
Yeah, and have you ever actually heard a PC gamer come out and say "I'm elite because I play on PC?" No, all they ever say is how their platform is better (typically based on facts), and so instantly get labeled as "PC elitist" (which is not based on a fact). Great argument...
Fuck N4G... don't know why they keep deleting my comments.
Yeah, a Honda Civic is clearly superior to a Ferrari because it's cheaper...
Driver issues aside, AMD really isn't a cheaper alternative anymore. Look at benchmarks. The 7970 performs similar to a 670, and they're very similar price ranges ( http://www.videocardbenchma... ), with the Nvidia card actually being a little bit cheaper and a little better performance. You may say that game performance is better on a 7970 than a 670, but it clearly depends on the game with some...
