Because Microsoft has the best online games duh
What do you mean the Xbox one is underperforming, Sunset Overdrive is going to look like a Pixar movie when it comes out, Quantum Break will look like cgi also. And these titles aren't even using the whole Dx12. Just wait till we see the inengine Halo 5 trailer this e3 that will represent what the whole Dx12 will provide.
Its not as simple as whos winning and whos losing. As long as both consoles are capable of looking like the infiltrator demo, both sides should be happy...
You are absolutely 100% correct, it will just make it easier to make use of what they have. So devs that might think that DDR3 isn't good enough or 32mb of esram is too small, will be able to get more out of it. Microsoft wasn't stupid in letting Sony getting away with selling there machine that is more powerful for $100 less. Microsoft saw what DX12 will bring and when it does release, I believe we will see why they put what they put in their machine.
Its going to be a tough one, cause most of Microsofts games are really ambitious, but Gears of War 3 and Gears of War J looked amazing and Halo 4 looked amazing with everything that was included with it. Sure you can say GOW looks great but in the end you see what they want you to see and the AI will never beat Halos AI. I am confident that if 343 focused on only making a 6hr campaign and forgot about forge or coop or multiplayer they can make it look better that GOW while having the best AI ...
Finally, a new engine and it truly does look very beautiful indeed.
I don't think that it costs anything or atleast nothing was announced about fees except that xbox live gold might be required I assume. Especially since Microsoft wants to bring gamers in to buy consoles, whats a better way than to have Halo and Gears tv shows that can add to the experience along with original content as well.
That's the one thing that Kinect can be really good for, unless they can have the marines read your mind having voice and hand gestures can really enhance the ai because the human ai has always struggled compared to enemy ai that was really smart. Since you can see the names of the marines in your visor, lets say, for example, Jun returns, you can say Jun go up that hill and snipe while pointing to that exact location.
So you're saying that the PS4 is one of the weakest consoles now.
Its nice that they are showing that UE can be used to create different artstyles, even tho UE3 did power mirrors edge and bioshock which looked completely different from Gears.
It may not double the power, but it will be more than enough for the Xbox one to keep up. The exclusives will show it, Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive are looking amazing and they're not even using the full advantage of DX12.
@whathappened, Intel, AMD and Nvidia all say its a huge deal and do you really think that Microsoft wouldn't make the xboxone without taking advantage of dx12. And the cloud does work, unless you live in some hut, all you need to have is basic $30/mnth internet and you should see the advantages of cloud.
Here's the PS4s motto, Discover the power of having 1000s of indies that make only a couple gems. Also a couple AAA exclusives thrown in there so it doesn't seem too bad and some other games shown that may never even come out, see TLG, 8 days, The getaway 3 and many more.
1080p and 60fps is the only acceptable options for a game to be considered next gen, according to a bunch of ppl on this site. So Killone shadowfall, Infamous, and probably Uncharted 4 aren't true next gen if were going by those standards. As for me I'm fine with 1080p and 30 stable fps.
Well the XB1 gets destiny, plus a bunch of different varieties also. We got Halo, Sunset Overdrive, QB, D4 and probably Forza Horizon 2, plus a ton of other game coming THIS year. It doesn't get much varied than that.
In a way I'm glad that H2A is possibly coming this year to give more time to make Halo 5 even more amazing, but I also think that people want their first experience on the xbox1 to be a proper next gen game and I don't know if they can make it feel next gen enough especially if theyre just using the same engine from H2 but HCEA looked really amazing.
If they do make it tho, it needs to have the original multiplayer. Even tho I do like all the Halos for different reas...
Just because there are a couple bad apples on a tree doesn't mean the whole tree is bad. Johnny Test and Uncle Grandpa are the only shows that are almost unwatchable. I'm 24 and grew up in the 90s and even tho they had awesome cartoons, some of the cartoons today can still stand with the best of them.
Would love an adventure time RPG.
1 thing you have to realize is that UE is made for optimization. It might look better on powerful hardware but not by much. And the tech demos, like the infiltrator will take probably about year+/- after UE4 is available to achieve.
Just imagine what the 1st party game engines will look like. Halo 5 if it does release in 2015 will blow everyone away, especially when they take full advantage of dx12 even tho some devs will use partial of it later this year. And of course ps4 games will look awesome too because of course they will.
Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Forza, D4, Fable legends and Quantum Break are all fantastic shooters.
