DX12 gives Xbox a boost to minimum framerates of 10%-20%.
The Cloud shows us game play that isn't possible on any other platform including PC.
Neither. Dark Souls 2 sold 1 million copies across 80 million PS3s. Bloodborn will be lucky to sell half that. The Order is going to be a huge disappointment of QTEs and cutscenes. That shit doesnt sell.
You say that like it's MSFT's fault. Xone is outselling 360 by 50% at this point in its life. That is per MSFT as of last night. That is how you get to 11 million units. It took 360 till May 2008 and the release of GTA to cross 10 million. Yes Sony is selling really well and yes Nintendo is selling really bad.
The are still selling fine. The might loose to Xone by 25%-30%, but they are winning worldwide by at least that amount, and usually more. Frankly Sony needs profits more then unit sales. They should keep selling at $400 unless Xone threatens to take a big lead worldwide. He'll maybe they should raise the price. The parent company REALLY needs $$$.
So your obviously going to go for the console with all the best games to play right now as opposed to the one that claims it can push 3 more pixels on a game yet to be released.
The writing is bad so much it make bleed your eyes. And picks boring too they are.
N4G up the quality of what you allow to be posted. We don't need to read the opinion of every illiterate 13 year old. And while breaking news or rumors from outside the US is valuable enough to read despite terrible English - opinions, click bait and flames aren't.
This "promotion" will run till around Black Friday when they will cancel it and raise the price back to $500, but without the Kinect. /sarc. It will run until BF when they will drop to $299 and throw in a game or two.
Yep game over pack it up. May as well not even release the games. Forget GOTY. UC4, Bloodborn, The Order and NMS are all Co GOATs. Absolutely no chance anyone could possibly be dissapointed. Meta's will all comfortably exceed 100%.
CBoat strikes again! The difference was only 2,000!!!! Lol. In November VGChartz got the headline numbers wrong but got the gap 100% right. This month they said the gap was 250,000. 1.3 million Xone and 1.0 million PS4. Which also ties to the headline numbers of 2.3 million Xones + PS4s.
Stupid little Sony Troll. Where is your "insider" on Neogaf telling everyone MSfT only won by 2,000 units? Lol... Everyone knows it was by 250,000.
Sony is selling great. 18.5 million units is insane. But you feel the need to go and piss on the fact that Xone is winning in its home territory and has sold 50% more units and software then the highly successful 360 did in the same time.
DX12 wont change anything for PS4 fans because they don't have Xones!
In a BEST CASE scenario, DX 12 may lead to 20%-30% higher MINIMUM frame rates. This will only occur in games that are extremely CPU bound and that have processes that can be run in parallel. This is NOT A MASSIVE change. Thus Phil was right.
For Christ's sake the PS4's GPU has 35% more TFLOPs then the Xone - AND YOU CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE WHEN PLAYING GAMES. Bumping the Xo...
This is such a joke. If anything Sony needs to sell the PS4 division to spare it from the looming bankruptcy. That ship is sinking - no need to take a good console and some great game studios down with it. Sell to Google, Apple or Amazon. You might get enough cash to last a few more years.
Edit - I think this is blown WAY out of proportion.
All this hype for an incredibly niche game. Dark Souls was the 97th best selling title on the PS3. Demon Souls was #107. Dark Souls 2 was #191. Notice a pattern? The first game couldn't break 2 million copies. The 3rd game barely broke 1 million - and that's with a 80 million install base.
BTW - It's been confirmed that ESO will be F2P on PC in coming months. Not sure what that means for console versions.
Going to be very interesting seeing how this does vs Bloodborne. It's the same developer right?
What does it mean to rule? To sell more consoles worldwide? To sell more consoles I'm your home territory? To launch the most games regardless of quality? Or to launch the most games you are interested in?
Sony, MSFT, Sony, MSFT.
Just stop it! Both platforms are doing incredibly well.
DX12 will only impact games if developers change the way they have been programming for 30 years. It won't be easy to program to keep 8 cores running at the same speed. On the PL you really don't see the benefit of more then 1 core until you start multitasking.
We have seen a similar move from AMD with Mantle. In instances where the GPU is considerably stronger then the CPU, you can get a 30% boost. But we need to realize that a 30% difference is barely noticeable...
Don't ditch cut scenes, add QTEs and make it mo re linear.
Total War - Attila? What about Total War - WARHAMMER?
