I'm still loving Forza 5 and am really looking forward to its 6th installment. Given how much time I put in to racing games I dont really play two of them at a time. Thats why I'm still unsure about Project Cars given Forza 6 is only 6 months or so away. I'd be the same if GT7 was announced for this year as well.

As for being rewarded with cars, I never liked that as my garage ended up being filled with vehicles I never wanted and I just end up selling them. U...

Yes, but last gen Sony made claims like next gen gaming starts when they say it does. Sony were arrogant and learnt a hard lesson. The new Sony is a better Sony and the gamer is benefitting from it. However, was disappointed how they went down a pay to play on line path as well.

@madpuppy....yeah, you pick and chose your comments like most others who support one console. You never did respond to the two points I messaged you about Sony's DRM policy, you just blocked m...

No they are not, they both feature racing cars /s

Its like saying I no longer need the next flight simulator game because I'm now playing Ace Combat.

Imagine if Sony had not jumped on the 1080p bandwagon as a point of difference so developers could render at 900p as well. Imagine how much more could have been packed in in terms of visuals effects and objects on screen.

No, im not say 1080p is a bad thing, far from it, but what other effects have to be cut to achieve it. For instance, in project cars crowds seem to be cardboard cutouts. Maybe at 900p on PS4 they could have been 3D modeled.

Looks good, definitely a good substitute in the absence of GT on PS4. I find the draw distance in the rear view mirrors a little annoying though.

VR is about total immersion, making it seem like the gamer is part of the world he/she is playing in. Making it seem like the player is in the game.

Try watching a movie like Gravity on a smartphone then watching that same movie on IMAX. The level of immersion is significantly higher when watching on IMAX because it consumes more of your field of view. VR totally takes over your field of view increasing the sense of you being part of the game, especially if playing some...

Nothing stopping it....no....so where are all these Unreal engine games with all this wonderful looking destructible environments. Till I see it used that way outside of a tech demo then its all just theoretical.

May not be entitled but the expectation was there...

PS2 bc with PS1
PS3 bc with PS1 and PS2 until Sony removed it

Xbox 360 later patched to be bc with Xbox games.

PC gamers have been enjoying it for years.

Smartphone / tablet apps by in large work from one device to the next.

May not be entitled but its certainly noticed when its taken away.

Exactly when did MS ever announce gaming as the main focus for HoloLens?

A device like this will require more than just a gaming focus to gain mass appeal. Besides, the idea of using it over getting a wall sized TV is really appealing for me.

Yes, but true to form I'll bet all that foliage is bullet proof. Unreal engine renders fantastic visuals but features very little damage or reactions to environmental changes.

It will come down to software. It has me interested but the apps and games have to be worth it. I also need to see just how well it works with the X1 since my PC is quite a few years old now.

So owning both consoles now makes you smug and worse than a fanboy. I thought Id read it all but this takes the cake.

Personally, I believe its worse for people to own one (yes I appreciate not everyone can own both...took me 18 months to save up!) and then continually jump all over the other console. Acting as though anyone who does not own their console is somehow lesser....forgetting the fact that we are all supposed to be gamers and just having fun!

But if Sony had treated the PS4 like the Vita then the PS4 would have been sold without an HDD and you could only buy a proprietary one from Sony for 3 to 4 times what youd expect to pay.

Basically what I'm saying is that the problem with the Vita is not one just based on games alone.

I own both and to me there is very little difference between them in terms of display. Yes you can count pixels all you like but unless you play them side by side many could not tell which is which. Build quality and feature wise the X1 has it IMO.

I would be disappointed if MS didnt try and remain competitive and keep Sony honest. Lets face it, Sony was pure arrogance at the beginning of last gen and they did almost as many 180s as MS has this gen. One of the worst thing...

But at least when you do upgrade you're not having to rebuy a higher res remaster of the game.

Damage and physics must be turned off/down. wait for reviews.

Why do we keep up with these stupid pi$$ing contests. If you have PS+ download the free PS+ games. If you subscribe to XBL then download the respective games on that service. If you own both then you have the best of both worlds.

Have the "free" games available since the launch of the PS4 or XB1 been worthy of picking one console over the other... no.

I really like the look of HL but am concerned it won't be cheap, not mass gamer cheap anyway.

So, a posting about a new capability on the X1 results in a comparison with the PS4 which does not have feature the same capability...yet the PS4 still wins. Wow.

This would be fantastic if you could then pick up an X1 controller to play the game. Now, give me streaming the other way so I can use my tablet screen as a display for the X1 so I can play games whilst everyone else watches TV.
