Have you ever been part of any product development? They already have a product timeline and being reactive only causes issues. I can guarantee they will not release it earlier than that timeline is set for. The big mistake with the original Xbox One is they had a much more powerful version of the original in the works but a year off form being ready because they thought the PS4 was on track to be released in 2014 (like they had planned with the Xbox One) Instead of the PS4 released in 201...
@zivtheawesome And yet that Jag CPU is using less resources than PC versions of games. Seriously, Forza head to head had the Jaguar version using 60% of CPU resources at highest settings while the I7 was at 100% for the very same settings with an Nivida 1080. Why is that PC optimized game using 100%? Because Microsoft is actually smarter then anyone here and after thousands of hours of running simulations developed a way to remove a great deal of the bottlenecks that would happen even when ...
You can believe all you want doesn't make it true. In fact, it is about as likely as John Kodera turning SIE into a PSNow gaming service, streaming PS4 & PS5 online instead of a box in your living. So 0% chance of either happening. Xbox is a brand, it drives services like Live which bring a billion dollars a year to the coffers of MS. The same goes for Sony. Their software and services is where they make money not hardware at all (see their quarterly reports for the past two years...
I think you are right in part. But, I think it is more likely the Xbox One original and S will be decommissioned and the X will be the sole base device. With any Xbox 2 that arrives in 2020+ to be the premiere device. How they work that , who knows. Will they call it Xbox2 or something more aligned to the idea that this a console that extends X but continues the drive more and better experience that the X has . I am sure in 3 years time the X could easily be priced less than $300. It makes ...
No that was the WSJ author's interpretation not a direct quote from Phil. Phil Spencer had to come back and make sure via Twitter idiots like this article didn't take what the WSJ said as his words. They are not what he said at all. He was referring to Minecraft on more devices (yes like Switch and iOS) when the author took it to mean something completely different. Clarifying Sony is a direct competitor. Similar other devices is like Sony having games on iOS and Android but, some...
@Toby_1981 What read BS article of made up crap that you believe may come to pass because you believe in BS. And in other news some random blog hack writes an article title "Sony may sell off SIE off to Google in the future". Do you think that would be BS. No, wait it must be possible because even though there is no evidence at all it has to be true because some idiot writes an unsupported click bait piece. Same works for this article, just pure click bait supported by idiots li...
Xbox One S isnt' supposed to do 4K gaming. Where did you get that pile of BS. It plays 4K video and has HDR with upcscaling games. But, the S does not do 4K gaming.
You don't have new games and you beat all the old games so you don't care about those enhancements. Then what are you playing? Nothing? You make no sense. Either you have games you have not beat and unless it is little third party game anything this year from AAA will be enhanced. Or you do have new...
Wrong. You really shouldn't assume. Do your research you will see that every game tested on various reviews has shown the FPS on older games has constantly reached their expected high levels without dipping as they would on the S or original.
As for CPU once again. your confusing the optimized console CPU with PC CPU. The PC CPU, is a grunt designed as a jack of all trades and power thru. Even ignoring the optimization of consoles, the X although having somewhat weake...
Wait wasn't that 4K TV manufacturer being greedy too? What did you have before the 4K a tubed television? I bet you had a 1080p didn't you? So you upgraded a TV to get a better visuals over what you had before. Best get out those rabbit ears too. Don't want to be forced to pay those greedy cable companies and the millions they spend on creating shows. Damn greedy of them, everything should be free. Well except for your work. You deserve money but, everybody else is just greedy. D...
1. Supersampling Unlike the Pro, X games that have enhanced assets for 4K will be supersampled (scaling down that data and image quality) if you have a 1080 giving much better image quality
2. Smoother games: just the fact fps is constant no drops like we see in many games for the base Xbox and PS4 consoles. This is a boost mode, like the PS4 Pro. But unlike the is just there working, no switching it on or off it just works from the get go. Even without enhanced mode (se...
Good comparison. This guy knows how to do it right. That DualShock COD:WWII was balls bad. Why? Well unlike this video that had the same scene match up pretty well each of the DualShock had the images completely different positions from PS4 Pro vs Xbox X. It was obvious how the placements of the character was in different locations. Here the images were spot on in the same location. In COD it was so bad that sometimes he was holding different weapons then the Xbox One X version then th...
"You want to know when the true "era of 4K" arrived? On Gaming PCs. Many moons ago."
On Gaming PC's. Once again applying the whole to mean a very niche PC group of gamers that can actually play at 4K. Kind of misleading aren't you. I would expect nothing less from the PC fanboys. What is it? Less than 2% of gaming rigs on Steam own a 1080. That is the only GPU that has shown to do graphically better and 4K better ...
There is no difference in the structural setup. It was done for tax purposes only. Now if Sony opened up the company to be invested in by others instead of having the same 100% same control they would have as a Sony subsidiary your argument may have more legitimacy. As division is essentially just a LLC. Generally being such would would lessen liability from the main corporation but, since Sony is 100% ownership and revenue is routed directly to Sony proper that liability is still fully ...
No you don't. Why is it when faced with actual breakdown of capabilities about the X from places like DF you make up your own shit. Stop using X = Y for components as your only point of expectation. It shows your ignorance on the actual hardware. Microsoft optimized in the GPU hardware in a way a PC can never do. Moving all that grunt work you need to get done on a PC on the CPU and software side and optimized to be on the GPU silicon. Your PC system is getting bottlenecked on the page ...
@FreddyFazbear Well with Kodera in charge I expect that select list to be quite a large. PS4 games will be a new option for the service but an very important one. The service needs a pickme up. People don't exactly rush to play old PS3 games there, especially on the PC. And with PS4 arriving people are not as interested in playing Knack as they would be interested playing the first party games like Uncharted 4 or HZD on the service. PSNow (the future according Kodera himself) needs butt...
@The_Sage Everything movie wise is released on 4KUHD drives. So there is lots of new content and more and more older content being made available to 4K (which is no that big of deal the farther in time you go back when nothing was shot that high).
But, if you listened to Sony at the PS4 Pro you would think 4K was avaialble for streaming and that is where you are right there is minimal 4K available streaming and it continues to be true. And that is where Sony's ans...
