It has a GPU similar to a 480 (but tweaked to make it closer to a 1070 performance, possibly..or so they say). In any event, the APU would be relatively low cost with the specs mentioned. A consumer 480 is around $200, the CPU component is known to be cheap already. MS could very easily make manufacturing costs at $500.
So strange, I'm getting a constant 90-120 FPS on ultra and have G-SYNC but it stutters constantly. I've seen 30FPS games look smoother.
Good, the complete focus on Kinect is probably the reason xbox is struggling so much now. It signaled the end of xbox's focus on having the best games.
Only way I'd buy it is with PvE cross-play with PC. I have a PS4 but I'm not paying $60 for PSN. My friends won't care if I have kb/m.
Nintendo PR: "Uh yes, several lucky users have received our.. uh *cough* ..limited edition curved screen model. The more you use it, the curvier it gets!
Well, he couldn't have f'd up Lionhead more than MS did. They still managed to release game under him. Now they're dead.
MGS5 the thread.
Terrible ending as a game, even worse as the end to a series.
Yeah it went from the console you buy if you want the best exclusives to the console you buy for if you're favourite game is Call of Duty. Now, I don't know what it's known for.
Gears, Fable, Halo, Forza and Mass Effect were all xbox exclusives at one point and among the best games out there. How do you mess that up.
It won't be unless MS has first party games that can show off the extra graphical power.
Multiplatform devs won't take the time.
Keep up the good work!
So no reliable numbers.
Cross-platform with console or there's no point in buying for me.
All I want is a tracker for hours played in arcade mode.
Off topic, but the site forces me to pause adblocker then forces a fullpage covering truck add that can't be closed forcing me to leave the site.
I guess I'm in the minority here but it looks flat to me. Lighting is plain, no weather, everything is so static, the trees are like pretty cardboard cutouts, nothing in the air, no exhaust/effects. Nothing that adds to realism except the look of the cars.
Maybe this gen has spoiled me in that environments have more movement and effects.
EA should have permanently dropped the price to 29.99 months ago. People would buy it just for the SP and many might have hung around in the MP. Now no one wants to buy it because they feel the MP is dead with no hope of revival. Even discounted.
It was the only way to save the game.
I'm not really a fan of devs spending limited game budgets on expensive hollywood actors. Couldn't the money be better spent elsewhere in the game. Sometimes famous actors' performances are worse than regular professional voice actors, especially when they don't have a respect for video games as a medium.
I think Big Boss's character in MGS5 was worse because they used Kiefer Sutherland. He often sounded like a guy who was just saying lines to get paid. ...
Finally, some real games.
I think xbox just pissed off a lot of former loyal users with their insistence on sending people horrible refurb after refurb when dealing with RROD instead of a new console or having a no lemon policy, and when people finally gave up and bought ANOTHER new xbox, MS decided to stop caring about having the best exclusive game library and focus on kinect.
Now they somehow have gone from having by far, the best exclusive library, to having tired exclusives that are formulaic a...
Imagine is MS focused on console power when designing XB1 instead of it being a Kinect/TV box. It's almost unreal that you can plug your cable box into your XB1. Such a useless feature for 99% of the owners. Same with Kinect.
Shows how misguided their former leadership was. They wouldn't be in this position today if they focused on price and power at the beginning.
