This is pretty cool and doubt it's just a rumor, Tacobell gave out free PS Vitas around the time of it's launch. I have a friend on PSN that actually won one.
It was one of those peel sticker on a cup things. Instant prize winners. Guess I'm gonnsa have to start buying big boxes for lunch. I'd probably cry if I won one lol.
The only feature I've seen Sony mention as not coming till 2014 was Gaikai, this is like the 5th, 6th or higher MS feature that won't be ready at launch though.
External HDD
Media Center
Supported Languages/voice control through kinect
Tv features in countries other than the U.S.
Pre-loading digital downloads on Xbox One won't be available at launch
Turtle Beach Xbox One headsets won't feature surround sound at launch <...
Yet on PS4 Sonys been using its Share features to upload pictures and video since well before the system launched, let alone Day 1.
There seems to be a lot of features that won't be ready on the X1 at the time of launch. Guess they have low consideration for some of their smaller features even though they made a point to emphasize their existence months ago :/
Here's a list of things definitely not making it at launch:
External HDD use ...
Read through it and saw nothing mentioned worthy of buying and X1 for. :/
Worse off was that this is episodic with them saying each episode will be 2 hours long with no mention of how many total episodes there would be.
The part about touching a memento to see the past reminds me of Deep Down though I know movies and other games have had similar themes.
For the people interested in motion controls, does this titles implementation excite you? I'm ...
This show is becoming less and less relevant every week :/
Definitely, I doubt konami is even considering it though.
Just another article highlighting that the PS4 is generally more powerful yet multiplatform devs will go for parity making it not matter as much. It's not an article that very detailed on technical specs even though they question a gpu expert on the matter.
Pretty much pointless to read given all he other news with way more information that exist already.
The real glitch in that scene is the invisible girl that's using it. Hot Coffee 2.0 as soon as this game gets a PC release.
We have no idea what the problem was, unless MS responds to it in detail we will remain in the dark on the subject. I'm not going to act like I know what it was because it could have been any number of possibilities.
I'm not about to defend MS either, it could be "anything" as in something small or something big. That includes those claims of MS doing something underhanded as well as something as small as a technical problem with the tv display, HDMI, bring...
Only if it remained on the 2D plane, upping the sprite to HD res would mean redrawing everything though.
It would still be cool to see, this is my favorite game of all time, bar none.
@ TheWB27
You should focus on this line
"a severe visual downgrade from what he experienced at E3"
You've made an argument stating that "No one else at TGS is claiming a downgrade".
I ask you this, who else went to both E3 and TGS AND reported on the quality of Forza both times? Who went to both and wrote an article about the same game twice?
@ people trying to discredit this claim.
Please do not try and claim that there was no degradation. The MS rep acknowledged that something was wrong and being worked on. That is LITERALLY confirmation that something didn't look as good between the two builds.
Trying to discredit the claim makes no sense when the MS rep admitted to there being something wrong/a difference already.
Best to just hope that it gets back to its former glory b...
"Even the 3 heavily compressed videos I just posted don't show that severe degradation. "
...Do you not realize how ridiculous that sounds? O.o
Anyway, this guy was at both showings and noticed a severe difference in the visual quality. It makes more sense to just trust him and even the MS employee knew about there being a problem which is literally a confirmation that something was wrong. The MS rep admitted that they're working on the prob...
Lmao Abriel
I could see this getting hot.
That's a REALLY eye-catching title, I literally said "Whaaaaaa!?" out loud when I read it.
DualShockers really knows how to get N4G readers attention, it's starting to remind me of all those old HipHopGsmer articles. Hopefully they don't go too far and get down-voted off the site like his site did.
That said, please don't get me wrong, this is a legitimate story. Maybe they we...
Hey you're a really good writer! I like how this was more of a story to read rather than just a simple explanation.
I've been a Sony fan since the first PS1, when the February conference came I was beyond sold already. Everything they mentioned and showed had me on the edge of my seat with eager anticipation for the next generation of gaming to start. So many of their announced features were huge improvements over the things we see today on current gen systems that it...
"on hardware equivalent to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One"
I don't like the look of "equivalent hardware" in that statement. So far games running on the real systems haven't been the same as when devs say they're running on equivalently spec'd hardware. We've seen many cases of downgrades already from this. Though final optimizations won't be seen on any title till it ships so they could end up better.
Whatever, lik...
In general I would just trust what Kojima says so I agree. He's not some underhanded dev that lies and does PR spin, he respects his quality of work.
If he wants these games to look the same on both platforms, that's pretty much what will happen.
This is a multigen game right?
I never knew that or heard that till today.
Given that being the case though I could see them being on par and both at 1080p 60fps because I don't really t...
On a different note
Anyone else concerned about the statement on playing personal media files?
What do they mean "there would be a solution"? Does he mean they haven't chosen all the acceptable audio and video formats yet or that playing your own videos is current not possible and that they are working on it?
I'm pretty sure it's the first but it's weird that the basics on media reading isn't sorted out already. ...
The 900p, 30FPS remark that happened waaaaaaay before Ryse was said to be running those specs is way too coincidental to be brushed off as "an anonymous dev that might not have software kits from MS".
The eSRAM is an addition thing to factor in to development of all X1 games, just the fact that it's there and has to be used means it's more work on some level. I could see you saying that a dev complaining about it as being over dramatic or even not so good at...
I think you read the title wrong, it doesn't say McDonald's or Chipotle.
