I see lots of people comparing these .5 upgraded consoles to PC and Windows, but its not remotely the same. If I buy the Witcher 3 on PC and continue to buy better graphics cards or cpus down the line, the visuals and performance will continue to get better. The only way this happens on the consoles though is with the games being patched to support the new hardware features.
Not only that I just wish if this is what Sony and Microsoft sees as the future, just come out and...
Of course he is going to say this, Sony wants this new console to sell well!
The biggest hurdle Sony currently faces is theoretically releasing two new pieces of hardware and trying to market both during the holidays. If people only have money to buy one thing, what do you want them to purchase first? Tasking developers with keeping close parity to the original PS4 will not shine any true purposeful reasons to upgrade to the new console outside of the core audience out of the gate.
Isn't this hypocritical though, the PS4 Neo is a mid-gen upgrade!
What does children's games even mean, do you consider Ratchet and Clank a child's game because it doesn't have realistic visuals? The NX will actually put Nintendo the closest to their competition than they have been in a very long time and the upgraded PS4 Neo isn't really improving that much.
At this current time the only gimmicky thing about the NX that seems to have any merit...
Anyone that was following the early WiiU rumored leaks would completely disagree with you here! The fans were sincerely hoping that Nintendo wouldn't create a underpowered console after the Wii, so the WiiU wasn't exactly what most were expecting it to be. Clearly though early leaked rumors from inside developers pegged the WiiU as a low powered high out put console (for its wattage). So for what the system is and does it is clearly a more efficient console that does what the 360/...
This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and even Nintendo disagrees with you! It's been quoted many times in the past how the cpu has been a bottleneck for the WiiU by people from Nintendo, but also how 4k resolutions may not be a requirement yet for all Nintendo franchises, but games like Pikmin could benefit greatly from UHD resolutions. Even games like Zelda U and XCX push the WiiU to its limits and show Nintendo the possibility of what even better hardware can produce. Striving f...
Well before the WiiU launched inside rumors weren't buzzing positive about the system that was the blog sites wishing that the system was one thing against what rumors were coming from developers. But rumors about NX so far already have it at least being on par or better than PS4&XbOne's GPU&CPU. For now considering what the PS4 Neo is, that's really all Nintendo needs since Sony has handcuffed the upgraded PS4 to be linked to the base unit. The SCD patent would ensure...
That trash CPU has been the PS4's bottleneck and will continue to be the PS4 Neo's achilles heel. Sony should have done more with the CPU first before putting that gpu into the upgrade.
Hands down probably one the best UE4 adaptations of a Nintendo title! Most of them don't carry the spirit of the series at all. But I can actually see this being an evolution of an HD TOoT Zelda...
This is what I hate about cryptic reveal trailers, because when we first saw this I thought it was a fighting game of sorts.
Damn... cold blooded!
I would much rather Nintendo put that extra cost of licensed Blu-ray tech into the gpu, cpu or ram. Everything is pointing to a streaming first ecosystem, so as long as they provide gamers with a option for extended mass storage and ways to stream/download movies to the hdd.
I think that SCD patent will be the center of their new gaming initiative. If they truly have a clever way to show case how gamers benefit and get rewarded for having and allowing the community to access...
Can we all agree on something, graphics are getting to a level where they are good enough! Anything above a PS4's gpu is wasted if the cpu's are garbage... We really need animations and physics to take that next-generation leap to make us believe and truly get lost into what we are playing.
I think if Nintendo can get most of their 1st part games to look like the Smash Bros New Challenger videos, the system will turn lots of heads this Christmas! I know a lot of people always point to UE4 and all but the evolution of Nintendo characters on more powerful hardware would definitely look more like the Smash trailers... Images like these are more appealing to the Nintendo character design than anything I've seen so far! Some characters like link and Samus need work, but overall v...
I'll be glad when someone really does something special with UE4, because most of everything people post looks extremely generic and doesn't do the franchise justice that they are trying to show off.
Well people bought the PS4 day one for Uncharted 4 and that game is just releasing this month!
Nintendo making a console that is more powerful than the current systems isn't the same thing as them focusing on power...(Because the current consoles aren't powerful!)
PS4 will have been out for 3yrs this year, but I see what kind of crystal ball you are working with though...
Even these supposed half step consoles from both Sony and Microsoft aren't a major leap over the current consoles. So why are people expecting the next systems to come out and visually blow away the NX?
Which will be the only thing that Nintendo has to worry about. That the NX in the face of the current systems and the next ones can still hold its value. Anyone expecting the PS5 to be the same leap over the PS4, as the PS4 was over the PS3 are sheep and you'll believ...
I have no clue why people use the cellphone analogy, when phones are subsidized by the carrier under contract and ever since the boom of smartphones we all expect them to be replaced or upgraded the following year. Sony and Microsoft didn't go into the launch of PS4 and XbOne stating in a couple of years we plan on releasing new models. Many people probably would have just waited if that were the case for the new systems.
