Well said. Would like to add that respawn is most likely not getting server access outside of XB1 for free because it's only free on XB1 and they were already going to be paying for server access a one point (albeit it was heavily discounted which is why they went with MS) until MS annoncued free server support for XB1.
"Most importantly to us, Microsoft priced it so that it’s far more affordable than other hosting options – their goal here is to get more awesome gam...
"Accusation of Favoring Playstation Over Xbox" - Co-marketing happened same as COD and every other deal of the nature.
"PS4 lead platform" - Not surprised. I do wonder how this game is going to look and run on X360/PS3.
"there’s DriveClub, which, let’s be honest, doesn’t sound all that great, and The Order, which while pretty, doesn’t look like a system seller. Yes, Uncharted has been announced, but we’ve all heard the stories. Even with the problems surrounding its development, it’s almost certainly going to be great when it finally arrives, but as to when that might be, well, that’s anybodies guess." - Driveclub sounds like quite a solid title to me and depending on how the order ends up I don...
Nice variety of content going by Phil spencer comment on how GWG works am guessing they would be giving some episodes away for free at some point.
"but what you rabid/crazy fanboys perceive as "PS4 potential" compared to the XB1 is nothing more than underdeveloped XB1 dev tools." - Yes because having a 40% or whatever the metric is again better GPU and ram for graphics processing is fluff and doesn't provide any advantages /s.
The fact of the matter is if third party devs do decide to use servers they are going to use it for all the systems they target, they are not going to be making a special b...
Also the fact we have gone from "infinite"

"BTW there really is no difference between cloud computing, and cloud streaming. It's all just data transmitted VIA the cloud. The only difference is how Microsoft and Sony are using it" - If there wasn't a difference MS would be showing more than conceptual tech demos by now given the amount of times they have talked about it. And there is a difference one is completely done in the cloud with no computation on the local device expect from decoding the vide...
Gaikai and what MS has been claiming are two different things.
Gaikai is computing true but none of that work is done locally on the device it is all streamed. What MS talks about is somewhat real time offloading of computing to the cloud then updated periodically on the local device.
One is game streaming which has lots of real world example working including PS now, Onlive etc. The other as described by MS hasn't really been shown all that much expect f...
"It’s relevant to mention that the rep talked about computational power, not graphical fidelity" - Hmmm reminds me of Dan Greenawalt's claims 1080p+their physics engine they are running that wouldn't have be possible without the cloud or the 600% more AI capability with the cloud. These claims are always hard to measure from our perspective especially the one of 1080p+their physics engine because it's not like if you don't go online you won't be getting the under...

As Oner rightly pointed out PS4 was never going to adopt a 24hr always online drm/no physical media licensing policies like MS was doing.
And they also not going to say they don't have drm because it's been there since the creation of PSN.

Not all DRM policies are the same or need to be extreme ...
All abroad the hype donkey :) ---> http://i.kinja-img.com/gawk...
You're the one who should be face plaming here when you don't know PS4 has 8GDDR5 ram for it's OS and Games and 2Gb(256MB) for it's arm chip used for the low power processor.
"8gb ggdr5 ram is overkill not even pc games use that much gpu ram" - You're forgetting this is for the whole system PC's have ddr3 for non-graphical work.
"cerny was smart but its not necessary its give devs room to breathe 4gb would been plenty this gen but with 8gb devs r gonna push limits naughty dog especially but cpu will bottlneck gpu its low end with high end gpu with 8gb ram do math people" - WTH are you on about. Even though I don't k...
"youre all fools if you think sony didnt have the same plans with drm and camera bundled" - Looool that stealth trolling yh am sure them saying no online connection was needed for PS4/they would support used games in Feb were signs they were going to adopt XB1's policies they were not even announced at that point /s
Fact of the matter is they were not planning on having a similar DRM policy as MS. It was rumored as some point but they dropped that decision befor...
The fact that it was barely talked about implies that Xbox one is trailing within their expectations.
Never. This kind of change could literally kill the franchise if done badly or if done at all for some people. True there isn't that much competition in third-person shooters atm but they can't just go changing the franchise formula like that especially when in the games that had the option it wasn't like it was a overly popular playlist.
Saying that I won't be opposed to it as I love third-person :)
Based gamersyde always coming to the rescue. Great quality.
It begins :)
E3 is going to be fun.
"Right now XB1 is using the old bloated DX11.2 which not only has a high overhead despite being close to the metal but also can't adequately multithread" - How do you know that because MS seems to think it's pretty fine -
"Under the hood, Forza achieves this by using the efficient low-level APIs already available on Xbox One today. Traditionally this level of efficiency was only available on console – now, Direct3D 12, even in an alpha state, brings this effici...
and MT tied to parts etc (The Crew) a.k.a P2W in full priced games. Sad times :(
I mean you have to pay to fast travel in the game.
