CRank: 5Score: 23670

Many of the biggest next gen games are online only. These types of games justify their price more than any other types.

The replay value in these new cloud based online games on all platfoms is sick. Change the game on the fly and add to it? I mean come on.

Rather spend my money on games like The Divsion and Destiny than Tomb Raider(don't get me wrong TR was one of the best offline games of this gen)

I canceled my BF4 and FZ5 pre-orders at Gamestop the day MSFT announced that digital games will still have enhanced features after the DRM policy change. All my games will be digital. In a year's time gamers will be kicking themselves for ever complaining about DRM policies.

Going digital makes all XB1's a portal for your cloud based library.

Hoping for a notification system telling me what was done to the games after auto updating.

Most of that is video quality with some issues with frame rate. Not surprising with hundreds of next gen chatacters running around with AI and Physics with 3 months left.

What region is this site from? Some confusion on the release date?

I watched lots of German gamers play this at Gamescon on youtube and they had a blast playing it. It does look fun.

3 months of fine tuning and polish will make this a AAA

Some good stuff in the piece. I was wondering how the Xbox/Kinect handled voice command congestion.

That Rumor was debunked by more than One MSFT rep. There are a lot of PS fanboys on Neogaf. Most likely somebody spread/leaked that MSFT had an new advanced chip that due to its complexity, it was slow to make and spun into a negative in damage control.

MSFT has repeatedly said that rumor was not true(down clocking was in the same batch of bull)

You guys are in panic mode still comparing/using old speculation specs of XB1 and still mixing them with the new i...

No kidding. Dam Respawn doesn't let the industry push them around at all. Fast to reply to misinformation.

Now off to check how many disagrees I have in the original article :D

EDIT

Only 44 disagrees, that's pretty good for me here on N4G they must have believed me despite their hate for my Nostradamus-like insight

Makes you wonder who's spec NDA was being enforced. MSFT's? or AMD's? Or both?

One of the better articles about this. I'm just glad I now know what I pre ordered LOL

Games is all that matters but I lean audiophile videophile and like to know what I'm getting.

Disagree? LOL

LOL @Neogaf guy says: "Huma(n) After All" http://i.imgur.com/vd...

I'm guessing no traffic because folks are finding ways to spin/attack?

Finally some news

They were right in what context and the popcorn? Seems to be unexpectedly stronger than originally thought.

I think people are not understanding what is being born with XB1. Powerful hardware allowing pristine video and audio quality with multi tasking capability not seen in home theaters all controlled by voice and motion.

Seen an Hd version of that track with Forza 5 and the detail is insane. I said out loud Holy sh!t a few times LOL.

These videos don't even show half the detail. On the web you just see patches of yellow, in HD on a OPPO BDP 103 on a 46" TV all that yellow has fine detail(waves, ripple, dips, sparkles) Smoke and Dust effects are crazy.

I only wish both games were shown with the same conditions. FZ5 looks off screen and in-car view and FZ4 is direct feed...

If you're a hardcore loyal Sony fan Sony won, MSFT won with everyone else.MSFT had the games people actually care about and are excited for. Bigger news for XB1 with partnerships and other service/feature related news.

XB1 displayed a true next gen experience from its Exclusive AAA games with unmatched visuals to XB1's system software and peripherals. MSFT answered a lot of questions people had with some of their games and policies and passed with flying colors.

MSFT had no conference yet still won the positive buzz(show). MSFT simply had more things gamers cared about and are excited about, it's that simple.

You know who actually won when the companies themselves know and react negatively *talking to you Sony* with your 2nd attempt to publicly bash MSFT.

Looks like a PC and Xbox 360 controller and a PS3 controller. It's just a still showing men working on current gen games. Colored Xbox 360 buttons with green guide button and PS3 controller power port on top with no light bar of the PS4 controller.

Nice try though

So

In other words downplaying it no longer has meaning when hearing about how XB1 and games are using cloud, with devs possibly asking Sony and Cerny about PS4 solutions for parity with the cloud-console and its cloud games, behind the scenes.

Not only DirectX 11.1

Imagine some DirectX 11.2 features on Dx11.2 devices in BF4.

Once the spec NDA from MSFT or AMD or both is lifted today we will finally have devs speak on what is going on with games.

I bubbled you up for the great post.

All Started when no one could believe their eyes when the game was shown at MSFT's presser. The fastest damage control folks could muster was QTE, even going so far as to make up lies about Xbox Not running the game(s) and was on some super computer.

Normal media even got caught up in the S.D.F. smear campaign for hits, also held hostage fearing S.D.F. wrath. Pro Sony Media fueled the fire as well

You have a point. I do understand the showing of the new character though. Reminds people this is a new game in a new generation and not just a remake. Her play style is wildly different and will intrigue KI veterinarians
