Please show me evidence regarding this powerful cloud?.......thought so!
I will be waiting eagerly!
The PS3 came out in 2006, tablets later with more modifiable OSs after. If you going to compare like for like then at least make sure the dates are relative. It's easy making comparisons when things are not relative to each other.
Plus the the PS3's UI is probably held back by the limited ram on the system.
You are clueless stranger. Sony's OS for their systems work fine for their intended purpose, gaming. No need for windows because they are not running a fully fledged PC, and why would they. There are far better OSs out there that cater to modifying interfaces and user experiences over a windows OS, especially for a gaming system's UI.
"They don't even make OS for PC", so what? Neither does Nintendo, but they are a GAMING company successful. Since when do...
I don't care what he does as long as it works fine with a controller primarily and all that other kinect, smart glass, etc are optional.
Played Halo 1 - 3, borrowed them from a friend. Found the series to be meh. But that's just my opinion and don't really hate on the series.
One billion year timeline is all and well, but I feel that's a copout so they can keep making the games. Although I never read the novels, if the lore is as strong as many say it is then I feel there is no reason to stop making the series, as it clearly sells very well.
Although the same cannot be said for oth...
Oh right, gamers are now bullies for a feature that most would like to be optional rather than mandatory. MS please tell Oxford to redefine bully next time. Stupid article!
Kinect playing cheap shovelware games, seems about right!
Reading must be hard for you!
Sure whatever and Microsoft invented console gaming!
Clearly you don't know your left from your right Orangejuice. The transition to bluray has already proven there is an advantage to it. It provides excellent read speeds for a high amount of data.
MS didn't think so they would gone with their custom media. Even if you think the ps3 is underpowered compared to the 360 developers proved what can be done in the right hands. You can say halo 4 all you want but there is denying Uncharted, Gran Turismo, God of War, The Last of...
Well that's the thing. I want to see what this cloud computing can do! I know of On live, I tried it when I was living in the UK and BT gave out free trials to it.
And I guess Gaikai will be the same "streaming games". From what I can tell they are completely different from each other by definition. Because with cloud computing you are still running the game natively on your console, but heavy workloads will be processed by "the power of the cloud". <...
Ok. here's a target for me to make this whole theoretical cloud computing believable. Take the current most demanding and visually striking game at the moment on PC with maxed out setting like Metro:Last Light.
Now if the Xbox One could handle that load with cloud computing bilaterally, at maxed out settings like on PC whilst maintaining 60fps, then colour me impressed and a believer.
But the moment it's PR buzzwords to me.
mmmm, salty tears! Sayonara 24hr DRM checks:)
If you think people don't have an effect on any market, even smartphones, you're sorely mistaken. Smartphones have been around for longer than you think, but is was when apple first released the iphone it became trendy, it wasn't forced upon nobody. You can still get new phones that aren't smartphones or touch based smartphones, there are still options. So why did MS need to restrict next gen gamers with DRM. They ...
Reputation management is in full force now!
Good news indeed. Next time MS, instead of just announcing something that know will split your community just ask your fans what they think would be great features for a next-gen system. I reckon %99.99 will not say DRM is a feature they want to have!
I will have to give credit where it's due, and glad MS decided to listen to the backlash from the community. Saying that, the PS4 was always going to be system for me to buy, primarily because of the region I live in.
So MS does have ears. The backlash was there from the start, they just tried to ignore it. Although this is excellent news, but i feel their arrogance have caused them serious damage.They left it too long, especially with Major Nelson saying he will "educate gamers" regarding their policies.
Great news for gamers indeed. Stand strong!
"Big difference. When developers know that everyone has the kinect 2.0 and everyone is online"
Firstly everyone is not going to buy kinect 2.0, kinect 1.0 managed to make general gaming unfun and disastrous at time. It used a super hardcore game like steel battalion, made it unplayable because kinect is rubbish at gesture recognition. Most other kinect games were mediocre at best!
And secondly why do gamers need to be always online to enjoy gaming? ...
Fantastic update, now I want to see those naysayers complain about the PSN+ service, it's remarkable value without a doubt!
"Educate gamers", serious just STFU! So now gamers who don't agree with their policies are stupid!
The free games on PSN are basically leased, as long as you have a plus subscription. But you're detracting from the point. You have to pay for XBL in order to play a free to play game. Kind of defeats to point doesn't it!
PS3, free to play games, no online subscription required.
PS4, free to play games, no online subscription required.
XBL, free to play games, online subscription required.
