So I quote:"The truth is, you always use 100% of the hardware. You just do, but it’s a question of whether or not you’re using it efficiently, and so that’s what happens over a course of years.”

“Between Forza Motorsport 2 and then three and four, the game got incredibly technical. The hardware didn’t get any more powerful, but we got more efficient at doing our math. We’re using 100% of this console, but obviously we will become more efficient over the years.”

So there will be a recording buffer of 5 min, so if you say to your xbox save recording it will save the last 5 min.
Correct me if I am wrong, while if you at the beginning of your playing session say begin recording it will record until you say 'stop'.

Not really console API already did and do the same thing, allowing developers to go to the bone of the console. Though it seems that mantle API seems to be somewhat dependant to AMD architecture it is open source and could even be used by Nvidia.

This could be a boom/great news for pc gamers and steam meaning more competition from pc's for the ps4 and xb1.

Streaming full games cost more bandwidth compared to simply using the cloud for calculations and sending the 'answers' of those calculations to said device. This however does mean that fast calculations will not be offloaded to the cloud but only slower calculations such as AI.

Streaming services such as gaikai require more bandwidth than what Microsoft is doing at the moment.

I like what sony is doing with f2play games, if it will stay unique to ps4 only time will tell, also like the way games and apps are not behind pay wall.

Hardware wise he could have mentioned other things like the incorporated power brick, the ability to setup your console vertical, the rechargeable battery of the controller and the 3,5 mm headphone jack. That said he did mentioned the touch pad. If do not believe the improved rumble is unique to the ps4 but more so for the x...

Seems like xbox has low brand awareness in Japan.

The ps4 does not have an hdmi in solution or an ir blaster. So you cannot connect your set-up box to the ps4 and control it with the help of an ir-blaster.

So not exactly however Sony will offer digital tv.

I hope that at least the IR-blaster will still work to turn on the tv.

they will receive fifa one for free. But still a shame as I remember that this was one of the reasons they delayed in Europe in order to make deals with the broadcast companies.

looks good I really hated the loading times between areas and the set time limit in the previous DR3. Also nice to see that zombies do seem to look different from each-other.

Good for them, the additional sales might allow them to use a somewhat bigger budget for the game while gaining some additional profit.

@ Tiqila
True though bringing a console to my parents house or to a friends house is not really a standard situation for me that is.

I really see the psvita tv as a device for an secondary television and streaming stuff, which would be a suitable reason for me to by one. But I do not see bringing it to other people houses as a reason for me to by one.

For the one time I might choose to bring a ps4 or psvita tv to someone else his place might as well b...

I can see it being used on a second screen in a secondary room or maybe as a cost effective means of sharing your ps4 with a friend.

Even though the ps4 is bigger than the psvita tv, it is still possible to take it to a friends or your family place, reducing possible lag issues.

Its already confirmed it won't be a first party jrpg.

Its good to see Phill spencer and Yoshida both showing respect to their competition in their respective 'homelands'.
@ Ctiboy Also cannot really blame gaelic_loach,
basicly dualshockers just made a headline/article from just one paragraph/question in the entire interview focusing on the hardware differences between the two.

@ dantesparda
It is not known whether these are virtual and if so how many. But looking at known facts,they have and are heavily investing in servers and data processing and are in the top 3 investing companies next to amazone and google.

Closest comparison I remember was an increase from 15.000 servers for the xbox360 to 300.000 servers in 2013-2014 (for the xboxone) which ´according to microsoft´ was comparable to the total worlds computing power in 1999&#...

Its not his expertise so he probably just got some numbers of someone from the guys who build the interior of the box. I like the guy for going out of his way trying to communicate with us gamers.

Hope its a good racergame otherwise it will be a while till the new GT.

Its hard to compare at the moment there is more info available on the custom chip design of the xb1 compared to the ps4. They will need to explain these things if both consoles are indeed comparable in specs.

Special processors: dedicated to audio for kinect use makes sense.
Freakisly powerful: Not really Sony already/also said they have the most powerful hardware
Power of cloud: Not really yes it is freely available to al devs because of low pricing. Though n...

True, though I assume that the previous owner bought acquired said addresses and maybe even others in order to sell for a profit, not in order to troll Microsft with anti xbone messages.
