Not to rain on your parade but the pixels per inch may be the same but with the black bars the GPU has fewer pixels to calculate for. That is a simple fact.
The resolution i.e. pixel size can be the same yet if you produce less lines either vertically or horizontally then you are not calculating as many pixels. By putting in the black bars they do not have to calculate for that space on the screen.
I am not saying in anyway that this game won't be gr...
2014 will be a make or break year for Sony (no, I don't mean the PS4). Every major investment bank has now downgraded their stock to junk. The really need to sit down and trim some of the dead weight. Selling the TV division to Samsung and the Vaio to Lenovo would be a good start.
PlayStation Now should be put on the back burner for the time being. It is a good idea but the network infrastructure is not ready for it yet nor is the public ready to pay the necessary fee...
Exactly my thought. The term dudebro sounds like a pansy term. Why not just call them gamers?
In Canada? Who else would you go to? Country wide your only options are Bell or Rogers. Sure you can get Shaw or Eastlink in select locations but Bell and Rogers have those guys locked into those regions.
This is why 25 years ago the cable and telcos were not allowed to merge. I thought our illustrious Conservative government was supposed to stop this shit from happening. Christ they spent about $5 million in ads saying they were going to stop these assholes from gougi...
ROFL. You know what this really means? Maria is trolling Twitter too.
I have to agree. These guys are talking about saving 14.5 watts? The same as one energy saving compact fluorescent bulb? About $2 per year max to have your Xbox One staying in Instant On mode.
How many people power off their PC when they aren't using it? It draws way more than the Xbox One even if the PC is in sleep mode.
Instant on is great, updates automatically, turns on when I tell it to (yes it does work 99 time out of a 100 for me), and only t...
I know that it is a little hard to notice but the white light does blink once your batteries are getting low. It was definitely more noticeable on the 360 controller with the green alternating lights though.
I will actually use the battery level indicator with the Xbox One more often than I did on the 360 just for that reason.
That being said the battery life for this controller is superb. I get close to 40 hours on a set of Energizer AA 2300 mAh rechargabl...
I think what people are getting confused over is that you get to play the game for free by being a PS+ subscriber at a cost of $50 per year.
However technically you don't own the game. You can only play it as long as you are a PS+ member. Stop paying and you lose it until you pay again.
It should be called a pay to play service.
@etownone
You fail to understand that there isn't even a majority of Xbox One owners on N4G that don't like the Kinect let alone the majority of non core gamers that will buy the console (note I said Xbox One owners, not PS4, 360, WiiU, etc. owners). Yes, there are some people who don't like it. Some people don't like spaghetti either but that does not mean others don't like it. The majority of owners (not bloggers, websites, etc. looking for clicks) bu...
The reason that the Kinect will not be removed is because it is a part of the console. If they took Kinect away I would just buy a PS4. It defines the console.
It is also only 3 months after launch. There will be games and apps for it and not just fully motion games. Lots of games and apps will be able to use it to add nuance to the game while still using the controller for the main play mechanics.
Here is a good example of a simple idea that could be t...
Sounds like an excellent story type game that you can play for hours just to find out what happens next.
This is where I think that the real distinct uses of Kinect will come out. Not the big developers and publishers but the Indies that are willing take the risks and think outside of the box.
Very creative use of Kinect. Kudos to them.
As a side note I don't think this is a game to try and play when you are drunk. Unless you are watching drunk people play then it could be rather funny.
I am kind of torn on this particular aspect. COD and BF4 have basically turned their backs on the SP aspect which is kind of sad as I love to have a good story told through the single player. That being said after the campaign is over it is the multiplayer that gives the game legs.
That is really what I loved about Halo. The campaign got me wrapped up in the game just like reading a good book but once it was over the multiplayer is what kept me coming back again and agai...
Remakes in between is not annualizing. Annualizing is coming out with a new title every year. I personally hope that the rumor about being able to get Halo 2, 3, and 4 on the Xbox One is true. I would like to have all my halo fps games on one console so hopefully they include the original Halo, Halo ODST, and Halo Reach.
It is a possibility that the leaks were controlled but I somewhat doubt it. Leaking that Halo 5 would be delayed until 2015 would not be considered by ...
This would be a good idea for MS. The Xbox brand is well known for its shooters and I love them for that but they need to diversify. Platform games like Banjo and Conker have been collecting dust long enough that reboot could be really successful. It would also go a long way to capturing a bunch of the market that Nintendo is currently losing.
Now before Nintendo fans go ape shit that was not a slight at Nintendo. I own the WiiU and love playing it but it has lost marke...
The last time I was this hyped for a game was waiting for Halo 2. Lots of other great ones too but that one was the most anticipated of all for me.
Good luck with that. I agree with you completely but you will never see it. Unlike major appliances, i.e. Fridges, Stoves, etc. that you often buy from a store that is licensed to repair/warrantee those goods console can only be repaired at the factory.
The only way that would happen would be for Sony or MS to authorize the retailers to repair the consoles.
I am actually happier than I thought I was going to be with a launch console. It works better than I thought it would before any major updates.
I do think that the author is correct and that we need the updates to install many of the missing functions and fix the broken ones. If the major update rumored to be in March does what they claim then that will be a good start.
They need to keep pumping them out every quarter for the next year at least until th...
When you buy the Xbox One or PS4 you do get a one year manufacturers warrantee. Here is the link for the Xbox, to lazy to look up the PS4 but if you google it you will find it.

While I certainly won't argue with even greater warrantee I am very pleased so far with the Xbox One in its temperature profile and ventilation. M...
"They prefer to run the game at 800 with 4xMSAA than full 1080p with a cheaper AA."
I agree with you. I just wanted to make it clear to people. Most do not understand resolution and the numbers thrown around.
Personally I would keep the letter box style (800 lines) and use the gpu to calculate the 4xMSAA than have 1080 lines with either non or less MSAA.
Many people seem to forget that pixel density is not the top on the list of t...
