7 frames dropped in the most intense areas according to Eurogamer.
Microsoft did the right thing and I am thankful for it.
Having said that I have never noticed any frame drops, stuttering, or tearing period.
I think this is just another case of PS gamers being upset that both games are 99% the same.
Maybe they think Blizzard should have had Diablo III running at 2k/60fps with that beastly GPU.
I think Destiny or Ori will get it.
All it means is they believe they have have a better all around or "comprehensive" entertainment device that plays a great selection of high quality games and provides media services.
I don't think the claim is all that far off:
Granted the games, particularly multiplat s, run a little better on PS4, the games are generally the same. Plus you have a great lineup of exclusives like Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo ...
Where is the quote from a MS rep that explicitely states they believed it would increase graphical fidelity? I'll wait because the only people I ever remember making those claims were Sony fans attempting to mock the X1 especially during the initial launch.
The cloud demo was confirmed as a prototype engine for Crackdown bit it only showed the benefit of computational power and physics. Not too long ago a Developer posting on Neogaf indicated what cloud could do
....
This will easily be implemented in a future X1 update.
Xbox One is improving rapidly, great games are here and coming this fall and beyond, MS feedback community is second to none. Not sure why people are still harping on stuff from two years ago.
Stole from who? Sony never owned TR, plus there are more gamers on MS platform which includes X1, 360, and PC than there are PS gamers. MS stole nothing, they just made a lot Sony fans bitter and very butthurt.
Not sure why Lukas keeps going on and on about this. Both MS and Sony push developers to get the most out of their respective boxes especially for high profile games. In fact, I'm happy MS not only pushed Blizzard but they partnered with them to squeeze even more juice out of the Xbox One. If it means sacrificing 60 fps lock and having the game run stable at averages at 55 fps and achieving 1080p I have no issue whatsoever.
It was 900p on X1 at E3 pre June SDK. I think they'll get it to 1080p.
Smartglass has already been useful. I control my TV and receiver, type messages, view and launch pins, navigate the UI, search, and now make purchases. Smartglass is sweet.
There is only a controversy because the game is not coming to PlayStation 4, but rather staying exclusive to Microsofts two gaming platforms which includes the initial launch on Xbox One and later to Windows PC. Phil already gave all the hints we need but certain PS4 gamers just can't believe its possible for a game to not ever come to their console.
Seems like it will be the Ryse of Club Racers.
Again if you're reading between the lines this game will be a Microsoft platform exclusive meaning first on Xbox One and later on Windows PC. Phil indicated they will help in development so we get the prettiest Tomb Raider ever to grace consoles and marketing. Essentially this game will be treated as a 1st party title. It is not coming to PS4.
It may be timed exclusive but its not going to PS4, its going to PC at a later date.
First, Microsoft is aiding in development and advertising costs. No way they'd throw a ton of money away just to see the game launch on PS4 in a few short months.
Secondly, Phil hinted that whatever deal was worked out it will be similar to Ryse and Dead Rising 3. That's not to say the duration will be the exact same but the terms of the exclusivity will be, such as ...
How many of those Sony games will be playable this Fall?
If you're interested in great games now than Microsoft had a better organized and focused conference.Sony had just too many games coming in 2015 and beyond. Microsoft also gave a great separate event with tons of upcoming indies.
They are a 1st Party.

Microsoft's communication is more than adequate. They made a deal with Square Enix. They do not have to tell us anymore than Square Enix did on tumblr.

I swear you PS fans are some of the whiniest and immature gamers on any platform. You guys find everything and anything to complain about regarding the Xbox One. In fact, I'm thoroughly convinced you guys complain more about Xbox One than play actual games on your PS4, why is that?
Truth is every developer does not yet have the new June SDK, and Microsoft saw an opportunity to help a develop get more out of their system with minimal impact on the frame rate. 99% of the ti...
