For those unaware, according to coders and programmers the thing that is inefficient and not utilized and optimized properly is actually the game engine, not the console itself. This is the reason for some games looking and performing better than others, meanwhile each dev claims to be maxing the console out.
It is true they are maxing out the console, only they are using a very outdated or inefficient engine which is causing less than stellar results. Forza has a fantastic ...
It looks like the same thing happened to his gym membership... they also took it back within 2 hours.
1080i is not "more or less 720p". It pushes 1080 pixels interlaced. 1080p is progressive scan, it's a different way of displaying pixels that takes more processing power, thus only higher end hardware can run it ie. PS4.
For those unaware, the video is compressed and all fidelity is lost, that's why you can't tell any large difference.
Yeah, because even fanboys are switching, except for a few militants who are so clingy to a product and a brand that they can't bare to choose a competitor's product regardless of price, quality etc.
It's like people who drive Mustangs and Camaros. Chevy Vs. Ford. Some people like both, but some owners just can't help but be childish and badmouth the other person's car/console/whatever, all in the name of competition. Notice this is a largely male trait, ...
Wow, so much for Kotick's Economics knowledge... how someone that stupid is CEO of Activision is beyond me. His logic is completely ass backwards. When demand goes up, so do prices. Prices only come down when demand plummets. It's called supply and demand, economics 101 people.
In case anyone hasn't understood the business model being used as of yet, to make the most money bigger companies are using free to play business models for extra revenue, only they're also charging full price for the game. So with your full priced game, you also have to pay for either a season pass, or buy cars and tracks individually or in packs via DLC. Don't see your favourite tracks or cars from the last game? They'll sell them back to you in a retro track pack or car pac...
The problem is they spend too much on marketing and have created a price war. The more you market, the more the other guys have to market, and so your marketing budget gets insane, in the billions and it just isn't a sustainable business plan. Msoft did the typical North American strategy of competing 100% head on with another competitor, targeting the exact same consumer base with hardcore gamers as #1. What they should've done was something different satisfy a different need and mar...
CoD was bound to have issues with new tech, there must be a day 1 patch, although some sites are saying they only have checkpoint framerate drops which affect virtually nothing, while other sites claim set pieces have them, so who knows.
People also need to keep in mind that the HDMI settings were not able to be changed, so RGB settings may or may not be set to full (defaulted was set to limited on PS3).
Quite frankly I think a comparison where both consoles are properly configured would be more valid.
However, pretty much every comparison that says PS4 performs better might as well be filed under "DUH"
This is a pretentious blogger, a pseudo intellectual who tries to come off smarter than he actually is, an annoying hipster who labels everything as a cash in, and therefore feels "dirty" when partaking in said "cash in". This is why everyone hates hipsters and hippies.
Honestly, if you haven't played Far Cry 3, why are you clicking around on articles for Far Cry 4? Go play FC3 already! It's amazing!
Art is anything that requires creativity, so storytelling, visual arts, gameplay mechanics, they're all products of creativity, therefore are considered art.
Wow, fanboys are the only people more worried about sales numbers than the employees and managers at each company that gets a bonus based on sales figures themselves... get a life you idiots.
It's called being a lousy company like Take Two, they're broke and need GTA to solve all of their fiscal problems, so they make you pay full price for the game and then add in the same business model that free to play games have, forcing you to buy their in game currency if you want fast money. Otherwise it's a slow crawl to get the best guns, cars, garages and properties. People kept doing the big paying missions over and over and so rockstar made it even harder to get the coole...
For those who can't read between the lines, smaller chips that use less energy produce less heat. This results in fewer failure rates, as heat is usually what melts some of the seals causing the yellow light of death on the PS3, and RROD in the xbox, cooling systems be damned.
This is not something that's going to run games better, although this 'closed box' model that everyone is alluding to is ridiculous.
If you can buy a $700 iPhone every...
lol holy crap, what do you do all day other than play videogames?
If you're saddened by the delay of any game, seriously, you need to get a life and go outdoors. There's soooooo many games out there, expand your horizons if you're that much of a shut in.
People really need to stop complaining about a game based on the fact that it was different than their expectations. This is the most childish criticism you can make, that a game doesn't quite fit the genre that you pigeon holed the game into. You should've known this game would be different than anything you've played before, especially considering Heavy Rain was different than most that came before it. I mean grow up, you should be happy when something surpasses your expectation...
The review is filled with nitpicks and nonsense that the average gamer would never, ever complain about. This is what you get when you read retarded articles from the Financial Post.
The reviewer complains about the dumbest shit. Don't bother reading it, the guy writing it is a bitter, hating loser who feels there should have been more verticality to the levels, doesn't like it that a pointer isn't on screen at ALL times showing him where to go and how far away, h...
