Just remember not to go full retard .....you never go full retard.
I've always wondered how ppl on N4G magically know what the majority of gamers want. And it always surprises me to find out that the thing "nobody wants" is the same thing (chances are ) that the assumed/claimer has NEVER used.
I personally totally see your point but in this day and age pixel counting doesn't mean as much. At some point the consumer stops caring about how a game looks (at least past status quo) and more about what the game does. Ryse and killzone are perfect examples. Both look great but aren't great. I would love for all games to look like these two but if it cost production time or resources that can be put into gameplay then it's unnecessary. IMO cloud compute and dedicated servers ar...
But more pixels are better right!?
I don't know a single soul that would buy an X1 JUST for Hulu, Netflix etc.
no one.
These things are bonuses for gamers and the ppl that share the same house with gamers.
The target audience in the causal gamer that wants more from their console.
We are getting to the point in society where we constantly ask "ok so it does X for X amount of money. What else does it do?"
I wouldn't buy a $600 phone that only calls ppl and has a web ...
I bought a $1200 "smart tv" almost a year ago. There are many things that I def do not like about it. It's def not smart or smooth enough. Once I bought an Apple TV THAT was the smarts my tv needed. It gave me the features I wanted. Nice smooth and easy. Now I just wish I has bought a tv that had better quality and I'd go buy the "smart" portion somewhere else. Once I get my Xbox one I doubt I'll use my Apple TV as much.
Smart TVs are great an...
What's funny is how ppl don't understand how to use kinect then get frustrated when it doesn't work. It's like watching an 80 year old woman trying to use and iphone to call her bingo buddies but opts to use a land line because she can't figure it out.
What's even more funny is he can't even use the voice commands for the PS4 properly lol what an idiot.
On a side note MS really needs to find a way to either make these "common" co...
Gameplay vs graphics? Give me better or more gameplay. I don't care about counting pixels as long as what's on the pixels are worth looking at and playing.
U are absolutely right. I've been doing this since 2007 with the 360.
The funny things is I will probably still call it a start button lol it's just in my DNA now.
Man ppl REALLY want to see a dif in the two versions lol kinda sad actually.
Because 720p still looks good. 1080p is def better but at what resolution does a consumer stop caring? I will have zero interest in 4k since 1080p is good enough. And I'm sure for some 720p is good enough as well.
That doesn't man X1 gets a pass for 720p tho. 1080p is just a sign of performance IMO. I really could care less if the PS4 used that power to make a game 1080p to look nice. I'd rather see more things on screen, better AI, better physics etc. that screams more n...
You don't have to always say xbox first. If the kinect is listening you can just say commands. You say xbox to start a listening session. You know it's listening when you see the words on the screen turn green. Which a lot of the time they were not in this video. He was just saying things that made no sense.
@iamsuperman
At some point you had to learn how to use your current console, your router, your tv, you car, your computer, your smart phone etc.
having to learn something new if it makes experiences better should not be seen as a barrier. And I would have to say half the time this guy was giving commands he was doing it wrong.
The PS4 does not do gaming better. It may have games that LOOK better but that's about the only dif I see game wise.
U do know the PS4 has less powerful specs.....compared to the PC. So why bother?
PC master race FTW
Lol jking let's try not to get our panties in a bunch
You are crazy. To have a device these days that only has one function is almost ludicrous. If your toaster doesn't have wifi and stream netflix you're behind the curve.
If the PS4 ONLY played games it wouldn't be as popular. The hardcore will buy it but who else? Ppl would find more value in their iphone that plays games among many other things. In a few years we will have graphics as good as PS3/360 in our phones.
I'm not saying it would fail but it...
What does MS have to do with this? They just offered free dedicated servers. It was infinity ward that lied to save sales on the playstation side. You honestly think MS planned this just so Sony can get more sales? Lol the hatred is strong with this one.
And what exactly do you know about balancing the architecture of a console?
@thanatosdmc
No one is saying Sony NEVER offered dedicated servers for games before. The difference here is that MS is offering them on a bigger and more grand scale for a far cheaper price. Not saying Sony will not give support to some devs but on the xbox side it is guaranteed (if the dev chooses). That is the difference. That guarantee means a lot.
