um, wrong motherboard bro. I don't understand this weird competitive urge PC gamers feel to have to create a similar box at the same price...
these cheap PCs will show their age as soon as the end of this year in a likelihood, at the very least by year 2 or 3. But the consoles will still be improving and evolving and relevant by year 5, or perhaps longer. why spend $500 like this when you can just spend $400 and be set for so much longer? And by 2015/2016, go ahead and ...
a nice attempt. too bad that voice command won't do anything. and 'play' is very much their competitor's message and brand right now... almost shot for shot, this is kind of like sony's launch day sizzle reel actually...
sounds like a pizza ad:
better console. better games. papa johnstation.
you talking about driveclub or forza 5? (sorry, someone had to do it)
Pretty sure Apple has done fairly well for itself despite its supposed inconsiderate behavior with new iPads and whatnot like every 9 months. I'd even argue Nintendo would be doing their most loyal fans a favor by making a system that finally speaks to them (and I don't mean literally, though it wouldn't surprise me if they went for that approach).
but that's the point. wouldn't you be just as happy to find out they're releasing smash brothers for the ps4/x1/vita instead? nintendo would probably sell a lot more copies of smash brothers if it did this, and probably make more money too.
no, sega left the console industry first and had no choice but to salvage its IPs by publishing them on other platforms.
also, the dreamcast scared a lot of publishers once it became widely known that games could be easily copied/pirated. you could argue this may have been the biggest reason sega/dreamcast lost all support and left the fight altogether.
@Mega
You sounds like you're describing Forza 5's retail package.
glad you mentioned dear esther. everyone's gone to rapture is another very high on my list. love love love that these super creative titles will be coming to the ps4 alongside the big titles from naughty dog, sucker punch, santa monica, etc...
i agree that x1's inability to handle full HD gameplay is an issue. but player count or environment destruction are not really black and white issues. it is a technical marvel to see buildings come down and 64 players flying around in games like battlefield, but there are plenty of well designed, incredibly deep multiplayer and other gameplay experiences that don't have all that. the people at respawn have designed some of the most finely tuned competitive FPS features/games ever, so ...
this game is totally near the top of my list
check out flower killing it... how about that. it's higher up the ps4 list than COD. crazy
720p or bust
yeah, a new one is the way to go. got me a white one second hand and it needed go in for repairs/replacement... it worked out fine for me in the end, but a nice fresh one with warranty and the ability to get accidental damage protection is probably a safer bet
is it any different than playing a game hours and hours to see the ending, or to get a high score?
yeah, no one ever complained about moba's being limited in player count... titanfall might be more fun 6v6. who knows. we'll find out soon enough if this is just PR BS or real design in action
absolutely true. looking forward to what 2014-2015 will bring from microsoft. they have to be working their tails off to figure out how to even the playing field. the near-arrogant ps3 launch did wonders for creating the sony we know today; in a few years we might see the fruits of a new microsoft as well, especially once a new CEO comes in, etc.
ps4s are still selling out at $500 in the aftermarket. ironically the camera is sold out most everywhere, too, and selling for $100+ at times as well... xbox ones remain on many many storeshelves. the ps4 demand is very real, and I would argue, not even that price dependent.
if microsoft new it could sell a lot of units in those countries, it would have. but it's chosen not to. especially because their platform is so much more local language dependent.
if Sony launched the PS4 in just 1 country like the US, there is reason to believe they still would have sold every unit they've produced and been at the same number. this counterargument of # territories is silly.
PS4 and its uber-unified HSA architecture is not actually that familiar to devs either (esp. for maximizing the GPU utilization for general compute), and the X1 has its own ESRAM buffer thing to get a handle of. the ramp is probably faster this go round, but there is still a ramp... both consoles will probably perform considerably better by 2015 than they do today
