I am happy to hear this. I want the X1 and PS4 to have their own distinct identities when I purchase them. Also, a 100% adoption rate guarantees dev support for Kinect2.
Good response from Bioware.
I am sure if you asked gamers at the beginning of this gen to choose between a $400 PS3 with a DVD drive and a $600 PS3 with a Blu Ray drive, I can bet you that the majority would have chosen the cheaper console. Sony releasing a DVD only Ps3 would have guaranteed them sales of over 100 million units by now and far more profit. But look at we're we are now? Every next gen console is using Blu ray because its increased storage space allowed for bigger an better worlds.
So ...
The fact you believed that Ryse, Forza5, Dead Rising and killer Instinct were running on a Titan GPU just goes to show the graphical ability of the X1 but i am not going to waste my time looking for a link but it has been proven time and time again that the only X1 game at E3 running on a PC was loccocycle, the rest were all running on X1 hardware or x1 dev kits.
Or did you not watch ComicCon? Are u going to say that the dozens of playable Ryse, killer Instinct and Forza 5 ...
What is the catch?
Why does everything have to be a competition with you guys?
Someone obviously did not watch E3
Who is forcing you to pay for anything? Thats why we have options. If the Microsoft is taking with the X1 is not for you then you are FREE to purchase other options like the PS4 or WiiU.
Halo e menu music is the most memorable but my personal favorite is Halo 3: ODST - The Light at the end of the tunnel https://www.youtube.com/wat...
When this music played, i felt vulnerable unlike the unstoppable feel you get when you are commanding Master Chief.
Never knew that Respawn approached both Microsoft and Sony about Titanfall and cloud services.
Kinect 1
@_FantasmA_ : You are right. Kinect for games was a massive letdown. I tried the Steel Batallion demo but could not finish it because it's motion tracking was so inaccurate.
That is even more impressive than i expected. They spent money to get a foot hold in the industry and from 2007, they have not lost a dime on the Xbox division at all. It seems even R&D costs for the X1 did not drive the Xbox division to a loss.
What you say about Sony can be attributed to Nintendo and Microsoft. They have all innovated in the videogame sector and Sony and Microsoft outside of gaming. That is an aspect that can not be disputed so no need to talk about it.
What we are talking about now is the future and what the respective players are bringing to the table.
I am not saying that the PS4 has no innovation. If it does unfortunately i have not seen it or they have mentioned it and i was ...
Opinion respected. But for me it is like asking the question. Will i buy a phone that all it can ever do is make phone calls? Absolutely not. That also applies to video game consoles for me.
I would like my console to entertain me in various aspects including gaming. My bday in April, i had a gathering of 10 friends. I used my Xbox 360 youtube app to play music and my ipad was creating a playlist in advance and acting as a controller for the app. When Next morning, i used it...
I was 100% certain that Sony was going to announce a partnership with Google to offer Google TV and a version of Android OS for the PS4. I am actually quite puzzled that this has not yet happened.
No matter weather we like it or not, entertainment will play a bigger role than ever in consumer adoption of next gen consoles. Games will still be the deciding factor but not as big as before and we both know that both the X1 and PS4 will have games but what of the other features? ...
This is one of the reasons that i am happy that a massively improved Kinect is going of be included in the box of every X1. And if Microsoft confirms that WinRT apps can run easily on X1, then we could really see some very cool applications and gameplay features in the very near future.
As for Forza 5, i got to agree. Apart from the fact that it looks stunning, the drivetar concept if actually a game changer for racing games in my opinion if it works as advertised.
"Not only do you know nothing but on top of that the closest you have got to a next gen console is a Youtube video"
Great!! you have made me spill my coffee at work. That was damn funny.
I just completed it a few weeks back and it i really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the sequel
This goes to show that having a head start does not mean a thing.
Go and watch E3 again. You must be mistaking the X1 unveiling which happened in May for E3. E3 was and only about games.
Ryse, Forza 5, Killer Instinct, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, Crimson Dragon, D3, Quantum Break, Below etc were all shown at Microsoft E3 conference.
