I like to think I can see the bigger picture, so with that in mind - taking simple pleasure from millions of ordinary people shouldn't increase your own sense of worth. This isn't a worthy objective...
While I'm sure there are talented people out there more than capable of carrying out these threats, I'm just clueless as to why! I remember way back before viruses,worms or malware even existed as we know them today. Hacking or cracking or whatever term you wish to use, was largely the preserve of gifted coders and programmers.Their main goal was notoriety and respect from their peers. Today, most attacks of this kind bring nothing but resentment and frustration from millions of ordin...
This situation is becoming more prevelant. Dev releases trailer -looks fantastic, everyone excited. Dev releases trailer few months later to the shouts of downgrade! Why is this? Who's fault is it? Seems to me Devs are fast becoming the politicians of the gaming world -nobody trusts them anymore. I place this problem squarely with the Devs. If you release a trailer and either outright say this is what finished game will look like OR you imtimate as much from the wording you use, and then ...
With the greatest respect to all you guys,I think these issues are increasingly becoming a little silly. It appears many of you are so concentrated on the finger nail that you're missing the universe. The big issue here imo, is whether either of the consoles are comfortable pushing 1080p in complex games...at solid frame rates
While it's quite likely PS4 will remain on top, at least for the foreseeable future, it's not all bad news for MS. I cite myself as an example -I'm not claiming to be typical, or atypical, just me. At the start of this generation I was very anti MS for obvious reasons. However,very recently I have ordered the Dragon age XB1 bundle. Why, when I have a superior, at least hardware wise, PS4. Well, Aggressive price point - my bundle £349.00 with game. Xbox live - my friends went ...
Works for me. I have Ps4 from day one because of MS DRM/Kinect nonsense, but lately Sony are disappointing me.Just ordered the x1 with dragon age bundle for £349.00 from Amazon. Other than the fact most my friends chose X1 at launch,the other reasons are live stability and most recently DNLA !!!! Sony should have had DNLA at launch. Anyway,good deals are to be had.
Like many, I was hoping this generation would be 1080p 60fps as standard.It doesn't appear that's going to be the case.For me, higher resolution with lower frame rates is not a good option. If we really want good graphics, spectacular effects,smooth gameplay AND leave room for devs to concentrate on gameplay, then 720p 60fps is the way to go. The reality here is Sony and MS went for ease of development and cheapness of production when they chose poor quality PC parts for their console...
I get why people are pointing to MS as possibly holding back PS4 with their parity clause. I also understand why some think that if the next few games on the horizon also adhere to parity, then something is fishy. I can see the logic, but I don't necessarily agree. It could equally be the case that both consoles are incapable of acheiving higher framerates and resolutions in those games. True, Ps4 is the more powerful hardware, but percentages are not easily assessed in this regard. Also,...
Seems to me, all the people claiming DDOS are nothing more than an annoyance or prank need to read the comments posted all over this site. Then, think seriously about what is the biggest asset a company has. Hopefully coming to the realization that the biggest asset a company owns is it's reputation! What happens if it's reputation gets messed with?. Yep people stop trusting it's network and stop using it's services. DDOS not so harmless after all?
Seems everyone has an opinion on whether DDOS is hacking or not, so I might as well add mine. I'm not really sure what a DDOS is, but if I wanted to 'hack' a large corporation like Sony, that probably has many resources and lots of staff and equipment monitoring the network, what might I do? Well, I may just be tempted to distract those resources while I slip in the back door so to speak. You know, a bit like going with a buddy into a store - One makes a big noise and distracts th...
As mentioned above by Reaper29r, many,including myself,didn't buy PS4 primarilry because of it's supposed 'raw power' superiority - it wasn't even known for sure at the time, that it was superior.I purchased the PS4,because MS did such a poor job,pre-lauch.The DRM bullshit being the deciding factor for me. To date, neither console has anything to shout about,IMHO.Both MS and SONY chose relatively cheap options for hardware and that's why we still have this 1080/60 deba...
The bigger loss here would be to Sony's reputation,not a financial one. I'm not going to argue whether it's native 1080p or not, I really don't have that information. If the description is incorrect, then the action is justified, because it's not JUST the facts, but also the intent that may be relevant.
Okay guys, some perspective here, please. A playstion is a computer console,it doesn't have a sexual orientation or preference! Games are inclusive - for everyone. End of. I'm more concerned about the lack of games coming to next gen consoles. Hell I couldn't give a monkeys toss what colour console you own, and I certainly don't need to know about your sexual preference. These are important issues, but on a gaming site? Really!
Unfortunately, the fact remains that both consoles are relatively underpowered both in GPU and CPU terms.It's really not worth arguing this point.However, they do have some advantages for instance consistent architecture - Devs know what they have to work with, and that doesn't change.So over time people will become very familiar with the systems hardware,that's good.Downside is modern games use such generic tools to produce their code. Think about it, hundreds of people all worki...
Not a fan of EA's business practises,and this would not be a service I personally would subscribe to.Also, Sony certainly has the right to prevent this,the PS4 is their platform after all.However,I think it's quite a stretch to suggest they speak on behalf of all PS4 owners in relation to value. Clearly, it's a business decision only. Value is subjective, and I don't like being told it's not good value for me. My choice, not Sony's. Just like I chose to purchase PS4.In...
Yep, it a long wait, and yes it's too long.PS4 was built with DNLA in mind from day one. Implementing it isn't a big deal for Sony - technically, that is. Financially, it's a different story,because of course Sony want to maximise user uptake of their music services that's kind of expected. Overall, I'm happy to have it confirmed,it's a sensible move by Sony. Now, wouldn't it be nice to get MKV support, and lot's of games too.Let's not forget the games!
Rather than just argue the toss,I'd like to take a slightly different perspective and ask WHY are games being produced at 30fps on new gen consoles? If the devs say it's because the consoles are too underpowered to produce both quality graphics AND 60fps,I'd respect that.But then I guess that begs the question, why have Sony and MS delivered such low spec machines? Of course, Devs are not likely to come out and say this,not good for business.Still, it remains true that NO game or ...
You would be hard pressed to find any Sony device that isn't DNLA compatible, after all Sony did create it. And it's always used as a strong selling point. Strange that one of their flagship devices doesn't come with it from the get go, wouldn't you agree? Sony need to get their finger out not just with features, but games too!
I'm fortunate in owning both a PS4(for couch gaming) and a high spec PC. Chances are, both sides of this argument are correct. No,we won't see a PC version of Star citizen on consoles,that's clear enough.People have to accept even mid range PC's out perform X1 & PS4. Still,down the line, I bet we do see a console version of the game which will be every bit as cool as PC version,and appropriate to the consoles relative powers.That's not a bad thing is it? I think if Chr...
Hey now, don't you be throwing the the 'rascals' word around! Let's keep this site clean. But yeah, they're really pissing me off too.
