Nice title I assume that's why the kinect game is running at 1080p.
Not sure what this video says about the people commenting on adam when they name the video "adam sandler confirmed for cocksucker shill"
Lets just say its okay to adjust your views when presented with new experiences knowledge and facts. Yes having 1080p and 60 fps games is good. But games without the 1080p or 60 fps can still look good and play good. Limiting yourself only to 1080p 60 frames experiences seems kinda stupid.
I believe he's wright that the profit of EA and activisoin will be lowered due to the launch of xb1 and ps4. Cod and battlefield aren't exclusive games which does matter when considering exclusive games such as killzone and ryse.
Both EA and activision will need to spend additional money marketing their products on 2 additional consoles ps4 and xb1 which will be very limited in sales numbers being new consoles.
Meanwhile at current gen consoles owne...
It is deceiving using the pc content for the promo of the battlefield tournament. That said it was a promo of for streaming event of a battlefield tournament which was being played on xb1 consoles.
That said people who watched the tournament on their xb30 or pc were shown a live stream of battlefield being played on xb1. As a european I find it a shame europe lost.
Do people actually still rip those 50 mb songs to their hard drive...
up scaling sucks I pre-ordered both now I am thinking of cancelling both preorder for a 1080 p tv ( lg 720p tv at the moment). Still got quite of a back log of ps3 and some xb360 games to play, till about march if my cash flow will allow it.
(edit: suggestions and tips for new tv are welcome )
Good to know that Microsoft from the start designed their box to cope with potential overheating problems. For the rest really interesting to read the view of the designer of the xbox1.
we are not that far of it's not like it will grow incremental bot more exponential. I like new interesting tech if it will work it will but only question is when will it really work well on a mass scale.
@newsmonday
that and they (activision) would prefer xb1 owners still buying the game even if 720p
Maybe the kinect wouldn't be able to function as advertised if the 10% gpu dedicated to kinect would be used for other purposes. Using kinect (to activate any snap features etc.) would make the game and kinect functions unstable.
At the moment cloud support for the xb1 is given. For a large part it is also up to developers to see what they can do with the cloud. It is surprising to see that forza as a launch game is not only using dedicated servers but already is using it to improve AI in combination.
Hope for forza that by launch Microsoft will have their xb1 cloud up and running.
Its not so much the journalist who bash the xbox in my opinion journalist who have played said console are not that negative.
On the other side there are ofcourse a number more opinionated bloggers in support of Microsoft and Sony who will exaggerate or pull single sentences out of context. And yes at the moment it is more popular to support Sony.
@game-ur
sales does not equal profit made. €600m sales may not even be enough to break even for one AAA game I guess.
@horse
Its also a cost and issue Microsoft is able to offer it for cheap/free to developers. Allowing all developers to use dedicated servers and other 'cloud functionality'
In case of titan-fall different code will be used on the different platforms pc xbox.
On the software side of the cloud Microsoft is doing several things to ease things for developers and insure correct scaling of number of servers needed for each game on demand.
...
Cloud processing is a great idea and plus for xb1, do we know how if it will work as advertised not yet. Will the ps4 use cloud processing next to gaikai maybe in the future it really isn't a bad idea but a plus when previewing it now maybe it will become a minus if it doesn't work.
To each their own genre of games, it certainly is a great show-piece especially for a new ip it does seems to be shaping up quite nicely.
Indirectly dice already admitted that they were short in time, since they considered delaying the game. Which is also the same reason why xb1 does not support dedicated servers on day 1.In the end it does look good for a launch title.
Microsoft should have paid them more I guess.
@deadpoolio
Microsoft did buy a few years ago an in-game advertising company. It is more appropriate to say that they would not sell the personal information but they would more likely sell tailored advertising on their platform.
So if they know you watched for example an avengers movie they are likely to (sell) advertisement (placements) other marvel movies or games in their advertising places (skype,hotmail/outlook, windows 8 platforms etc).
With ad...
Even though sharing this information might be beneficial for security measures and user experience it also means that Microsoft will be able to gain more marketing information from the services consumer are using. This information can of-course be used to gain more knowledge and marketable data on individual consumer preferences.
So yesterdays ign reconfirmation of 1080p 90% of time is false, I put more thrust in capcom producer than Microsoft answer to ign.
"Dead Rising 3 is hitting that 90% of the time. The other 10% usually involved craziness like igniting and flattening hundreds of zombies at once"
