Just remember, 10% of the gpu of the Xbox One is dedicated to the OS. So the PS4's GPU works out at about 60% more powerful. PS4 also has better software tools & is releasing the source code (that can be modified). In a couple of years, the differences are gonna be stark (without difficult PS3 programming).
It's not Ultimate Team mode, just Ultimate Team content. Most likely a few skins. As I said I'm just optimistic (especially as Playstation is a worldwide brand, catering to countries with extremely poor internet access). Hopefully Sony will just say it's DRM free & we'll all be happy.
EA maybe able to play hard ball with Nintendo (only a few percent of their revenue comes from their systems, think it was 2/3%), but the Playstation 3 makes them a significant amount of revenue. There's no way EA would risk not selling millions of copies of Battlefield/FIFA on PS4, especially in mainland Europe & the UK (popular Playstation territories).
No, it's not.
I don't think Sony will use draconian DRM, because they already had the opportunity to use it on the Vita (piracy damaged the PSP more than any other system, bar the Dreamcast). I personally think they'll stick to the online pass system.
I'm not sure how people can disagree with you. This cloud powered console idea is snake oil.
The camera is always on as long as it's being powered & is needed for the Xbox One to function at all.
The fee apparently is paid by the shop, but it's gonna kill the trade in value of a game. It's gonna kill indie gaming shops. Microsoft has made it clear it only cares about big business. Indie shops, indie developers & customers are nothing to them. The machine deserves to die.
I have quite a logical explanation why Sony may not do it. If any system would have had draconian DRM, it would have been the Vita. Piracy killed the PSP more than any system (bar Dreamcast). So I'm optimistic PlayStation 4 may just have online passes.
Roll up, roll up, get your snake oil!
Welcome to PC gaming in 2002. Most games used dedicated servers. What the hell are you pay for Live for if not servers?
It needs them to monitor you through Kinect.
It's free in the UK too, normally situated in train stations.
Worked fine with Sim City... The cloud is just a load of servers, this is nothing new at all. This is snake oil.
Well done. *slow clap*
I honestly can't think why anyone would buy a Xbox One.
Name 3 ways games will fundamental change.
Frame rate is more important.
You can bet your life their be a limit on activations on consoles with your profile. There's no way Microsoft will allow you to do it indefinitely. Don't buy into this anti consumer bullshit. Anyone who buys this when there's competitors & PC needs their hand examining.
A dedicated server will never improve your consoles capabilities. The latency is too high & the Xbox One is not suddenly gonna gain 400GB bandwidth. Anyone who believes it is a fool.
