I hated Titanfall at the start, but beginning to like it a lot, the game grows on you the more you play.
Still think its needs some competitive game modes and better matchmaking though.
Pennello said it two times now. It true. He'd look foolish for denying something two times and it turned out to be true in the end.
To put in two GPU's increases the x box 1 cost by at least 200 dollars. Clever of course only if you're willing to take the hit on your profits. Microsoft would never do this.
I still can't over the fact Microsoft paid AMD more for the GPU they have. Something there just doesn't sit right with me. Why pay more...
There was a leaked report before launch that Microsoft was looking to do this, but it no doubt was scrapped, because of cost to them and the customer.
What made more sense was the GPU in the xbox 1 was new and was made for directx12. I tended to believe this.
Its partly true the GPU in the x box 1 was configured for directx12 and this was Microsoft's mindset.
What wasn't true you didn't need a new GPU for it to work. Which has nev...
Its not a game changer realistically saying this as an x box fan.
It will though improve the overall system, the GPU and CPU, helping games look better and helping out with frame rate stability.
Directx12 does amazing stuff for the CPU and this is just as important as the GPU.
Resolution may still be an issue on x box 1? I'm still unsure what benefits directx12 has for the memory, but frame rates are going to be lot better with directx12....
Wrong Microsoft sold 67,000 more consoles in the US last week over Sony.
Sony sold just over 47,000
Microsoft just over 104,000.
How many more outside the US not sure?
Sony obviously is still leading over Microsoft with more sales from now till launch, but that's a massive good news for Microsoft.
More startling is the software sales, but that's to be expected with the release of Titanfall.
...
Those software sales are unreal for xb1. Sony is really suffering it seems with the lack of games in the US.
XOne 678,209 (+457%) 6,888,21 4
PS4 67,895 (-25%) 5,574,764
Thats like 10-1 more sales for xb1 for games.
Hardware@
XOne 104,872 (+118%) 2,488,64 0
PS4 47,311 (+4%) 2,729,475
nearly 3-1 for xb1.
That's a massive increase for xb1 whatever what you look at it, big swing.
I don't think you get it. Microsoft has more supply, as they only distribute consoles to 13th markets its got nothing to do with demand. Microsoft can fill the shelf's of a shop easier.
Sony is overstretched because they sell in 53 regions and even if they had an the supply. This doesn't mean people would not buy an x box 1. That's just fanboy talk if you ask me.
People on the 360 are likely moving to the x box 1 if you don't believe then ...
Nope more x box 360 users are beginning to move over to x box 1. I have over 30 friends on x box live on my 360 account.
Since launch of the x box 1 only four of my friendS had bought an x box 1. Last week or two i noticed 4 more bought an x box 1.
People are just moving from 360 to xb1 and obviously some neutrals have also decided they prefer a xb1 over a PS4
Majiebeast@ Get over yourself 360 users own an x box for a reason they like the sy...
E3 is the place to do it if you want people to buy your console.
GDC was for developers
Microsoft knows if they have bad E3 they'll keep losing to Sony. So expect Microsoft to go all out this time.
I expect Microsoft will have more games to show than Sony. But the games will have to be of real quality-quantity isn't enough to win over gamers anymore.
The game would be difficult to run on 360 i would think with the low memory. 524mb in total in both the 360 and PS3. Lots of titans on screen would be hard to accomplish i believe on last gen consoles. Visually i can't see the game looking all that good.
I don't get why people care about kinect so much and want it out. Sony said there camera which is less advanced is selling like hot cakes and they can't keep up with orders.
Kinect is a mic too you know i don't even use a headset to game i chat through it to friends and its amazingly clear. If your a streamer you need kinect if you want people to see you. The OS uses it for voice controls and navigation. Games are now using it. Kinect is going nowhere get over it ...
The dual GPU was speculation the problem i had with was cost. Who'd pay for it.
I was more of a believer the GPU in the x box 1 was new and was customised for directx12.
I was wrong it seems you don't need need a new API which is surprising, if this is a new directx? Its never been like that before.
The x box 1 was though made with directx12 in mind. Personally i think it changes nothing unfortunately, the PS4 still has the better spe...
The x box 1 was designed with directx12 in mind thats what the secret sauce was. Another GPU was much harder to believe in.
Directx12 will help the x box 1 but PS4 will still have a power advantage, but with directx12 that would be much lower now.
Two things overlooked here and very important.
Forza was ported to PC and was switched from the directx11 core engine to dx12. It maintained a static frame rate throughout play which is not common even on PC.
It was achieved in four months, the port over. Does this mean games can be ported much easier to PC and XB1 using directx12? Seems so!
X BOX 1 gpu is directx12 already it can't be any other way now. Full release 2015 is likely set fo...
Graphics improving with directx12 was always going to happen with a new directx!
How directx12 can better manage memory use and help get better resolutions. Is something i am still looking at.
Directx12 helps the CPU, so this is going to help out with frame rate stability on x box 1.
Gamer1982@
People overlooked this, but the developers already have the directx12 drivers and early access comes this year. Full release starts holiday 2...
It was ported from direct d3d11 directx to d3d12 core rendering engines.
The demo is Forza running with directx12 and not losing frames its static- meaning no loss throughout.
Developers have already got the directx12 drivers it was announced during the conference. Early access starts this year. Full release holiday 2015
Some questions still remain unanswered from that conference for me. The directx12 will improve the x box 1 how much remains to be seen?
Conference has only started its still ongoing.
Get it here http://www.pcper.com/live/
Its getting really interesting now tune in guys.
DX12 will enhance any modern graphics chip. Driver support from IHVs will be key to enable those features. This is a massive change in how DX addresses the GPU, rather than (so far) the GPU adding features.
Microsoft wasn't hidden...
Directx12 Microsoft conference is 1 hour and 15 minutes away from happening. Hopefully we learn more about what x box 1 is able to do and not able to.
I have some expectations, but who knows right.
Actually is widely accepted among people in the gaming industry the 360 won last generation.
Fanboys of course will disagree, but the gaming world believes differently.
