Neither are cheap... nor junk...
Keep it clean kid
^^^ @ Marcofdeath
I follow MisterX blog and still think for myself.
A lot of the discussions come across very hypothetical and both consoles offer sizeable specifications (Enough for video games, video games aren't the most demanding platform out there)
The XB1 will indeed keep getting better. Multiplat developers aren't giving the device enough time because they still have a lot to learn on the backend of each system. Everything in t...
In the popularity contest they're winning...
I for one, am not a sheep and will buy what I want/prefer regardless of whether others see it as right or better.
I hate people getting on the band-wagon but I also don't go the other route just to spite the majority.
The talk of exclusives is severely over-rated.
Exclusive indies? Knack?
They don't count in my opinion. I don't like indies... I can get them on my mobile phone... Can even play Cod Zombies on an Iphone 5 for 6$
Please file an exclusive list full of AAA 1st-3rd party titles.
Include multi-plats and don't flesh out the list with games that aren't worth talking about... just because they're another 'Trophy' ...
Does anyone know for sure if the June SDK is delivering DX12-beta feature sets?
Halo Reach WAS a good game!
Classic Bungie un-balanced balancing issues have been rife in many of their games.
Very pleased to see this come to games with gold... I have a friend who refused to accept reach because it wasn't Halo 4 - 5 - 6.
No I can force him to get hold of it and play a brand new game with him :)
There were 3 things wrong with Reach;
Armor lock
75% bloom
Over powered Jet ...
Hosted on a dated forum that no one gives a toss about.
Used PS click bait articles to rile the fans up JUST ENOUGH that they would register and apply a vote.
I only saw 1 poll and that was before both consoles were out... and I frequent this website?
Im no sheep, I think myself and the PS controls have always been lack-lustre...
I mean... triangle... square?
What a load of rubbish
Debatable... you mean the best console you've ever owned.
It's thanks to PS that we now suffer loading times at every instance, GJ guys.
The new dual shock is better then previous iterations (that they swore was perfect smh)
Concave triggers? Who had them last generation?
The eraser look is tacky and un-refined.
The UI is generic looking and really just a revamped version of their previous diabolical ...
External supply has always been better.
They're supplied with every laptop... there is good reasoning behind it:
Including replaceable parts
Unit temperature (not pushing fans into overdrive the moment the unit becomes under load)
External HDD is undeniably better.
Sata 2 = 3GB/s
Usb 3 = 5GB/s
Sata 3 = 6GB/s
Sata 3 is used with SSD's to allow maximum read/write access. USB isn&...

- Agreed. The commercial world really has a hold on western society. They turn us against each other for their own benefit.
Marketing/PR thrives on building differentiation between social groups.
Lets not forget that WE ARE ONE Community and there is actually NOTHING SEPARATING us from one another.
To everyone ^^^ thinking bringing the specifics up makes a difference, or makes them sound clever.
I walk around wearing my face in native 1080p.
My friend has a slightly less detailed face, but it "runs smoother".
He was sad his face was not as detailed...So he cooked up a sneaky plan to add a layer of details to his face to make it similar.
He decided to super-impose a picture of a 720p dis-similar cheese sandwich on...
I still don't quiete understand why they decided to deliver a new console at the same time as a competitor.
I think MS shot themselves in the foot (only in this aspect) with the previous vision, they would've had to deliver the product at the same time. Due to the back lash, they turned everything around. If they had just said... "back to the drawing board for a year":
A) they could've re-visited the hardware and delivered a product unde...
I know where you're coming from man, infamous sold half as much as Titanfall, yet it's TF that gets the bashing.
As for profitability... all consoles are debatable.
Im probably among the few who aren't that impressed by the new consoles.
I would've expected a better delivery across the board.
Sony - I don't want JUST a games console.
MS - Shame on you for the identity crisis.
Agreed
but popularity doesn't mean a thing in my book.
I still prefer iOS because of familiarity... im not about mods and I can't be bothered to master another platform. Not to mention the longevity of the devices (I have 8 un-used 2006 imacs under a desk in my office, previously heavily used, still perfect working order, totally obsolete)
Same with the console debate, popularity doesn't mean a thing.. especially when there is so...
They're clearly having more trouble pushing the consoles this time around.
Games are late and sparse in number.
Hence why there's so much deliberation.
The reason the last generation dragged on was because the consoles were actually totally sufficient just power deficient. The corporate business's ran out of new ideas ages ago... they're all looking to "new media" to push their devices. Ask yourself what features fro...
Sounds like you made your mind up ages ago...
Exactly,
Looking at the games people started highlighting above.
People speak of Ps1 like is was the holy grail of games... IMO, it wasn't.
I always found Nintendo were the best back then.
Street fighter was amazing back in the day. Tekken was a total dive for years. Smash bros in a totally different way, still kicks it's arse. Thats just one genre.
Only games I ever looked towards the PS1 for were Final Fantasy and Me...
That PDF serves as an example of why Cloud compute is taking it's time.
Most dev's start out with simple undergraduate degrees in video games art's (e.g), then build on their experiences.
To pull this off you need specialist training in network engineering.
Just how many dev's out there have network engineers on board? I mean ones that contribute to the product itself?
AAA developers are surely screaming to get cloud c...
Old system architecture is so inefficient.
Take a second to think about current computing and ask yourself...
Is IT as efficient as it should be?
You can have a beast of a CPU and still get mediocre performance if used with a sata-2, 5.200rpm 2.5in HDD.
I dont think people realise that high-end computers aren't for gaming. They're workstations.
Video games aren't that demanding.
You need a farm of high-end computers to render scenes from a pixar movie (quickly)
(Ran out of bubbles edit)
All this talk of them using low powered APU in the consoles is laughable.
Don't forget that if you were to use them in a tablet or phone, the battery would run dry i...
