Bethesda: "we're going to make a box. This is how it's going to work and you should make games for it?"
Isn't this exactly what Microsoft tried to force onto consumer and developers with the "initial" Xbox One. Always Online DRM, Mandatory installs, blocking used games, mandatory 24hr check in, 2hr demo of games your purchased if you're playing on another system. But you still support it. Only difference is MSFT brought their phat check boo...
linking it to what it actually describes. How do you report on something like that? Especially with some of the things they let through.
OT: Very nice graphics and combat mechanics looks solid as well. Looking forward to hearing more about this game.
I think he titled it in such a way to guarantee hits. Controversy generates hits no matter how you slice it.
You can google PS4 passes FCC and you'll get some kinda of article back in July. If you try to good Microsoft FCC certification you'll get Major Nelson's quote. Engadget still hasn't reported on it yet either sooo.....
@LoveoftheGame
"Also, let's not talk about real exclusives when PS4 has more PC games than Xbox One does."
Planetside 2 made by SOE
DC universe also made by SOE
(future Hopefully) Everquest Next by SOE
I'll be playing Killzone ShadowFall so I don't really care. If EA's keeping this game in rotation, then it very well is an EA IP. COD with mechs. But since these things are so much like PC, allow freaki...
^ that right there sucks!!!!!
Guess that FCC certification was malarkey. Engadget post almost everything electronic that passes through the FCC.
Example: Sony next phone not even announced

But somehow they missed Microsoft's system going through FCC? Yeah I highly doubt that one.
we have heard nothing of this until even after all the leaks happening. I find this hard to believe. If it went through the FCC there would have been a report about it.
@Gozer
They do not use them for every game. I played the shit out of Gear of War 3. They did not have dedicated servers. It was peer to peer. Death2494 was my name on Xbox Live look it up.
to the European market. Nothing has been said about American and other territories.
@n4rc,
Can you not read the date this article was posted? April 30th 2013. This was a month and a half ahead of E3. The AMD spokesperson didn't say this until 4-5 days ago. AMD have said they are refusing to comment.
Here an update that you probably didn't get after reading only the title.
"AMD contacted me again to make another comment. Essentially, they said that the correction statement to the original statement claiming hUMA wa...
Just for those who didn't read the article. The PS4 demonstration @ Gamescom had no physical(bluray) games installed on the HDD. These were all digital copies. That would explain it only taking 7 seconds to jump into a session. Shuhei confirms that you will not be able to download a physical copy to your HDD. Unless there is some serious pre-order incentive, I'm buying digital. I hardly trade in my games anyway. I also only buy games I don't plan on selling.
Wrong all the twitter post said was that Xbox One has coherent Memory. But this is where the problem lies. Microsoft are lumping in Xbox One's esRAM in with their DDR3 speeds. The esRAM numbers are complete speculation and hypothetical (190gb/s min and 204gb/s peak)to accommodate for DDR3's 58~68gb/s.
Microsfot's ESRAM solution does not read/write to the 204gb/s is a load of hogwash.
Edit: Go to neogaf, they've already picked this claim apart...
Stop spreading false information. AMD's official statement was "no comment." Microsoft was pissed because he only verified what everyone already knew. But even if you dismiss the AMd's spokesperson, you already had countless articles pointing towards this.

All the benefits of GDDR5 and none of it's weaknesses.
about this gen. I owned both xbox360 and Playstation 3. There was literally no difference in online play. I thought this myth has been proven untrue quite some time ago. While dedicated servers are better the P2P, if you have a bad connection you're still going to lag.
Microsoft and Sony have about the same number of exclusives at launch. Microsoft is banking on Forza and Fifa to move units. While Sony is betting on indies, F2P, Driveclub, and Killzone Shadowfall to make it's case. But within the launch window, only Titanfall and Plants VS Zombies will hit the Xbox One. The Order 1886, Infamous Second Son, and Shadow Beast are in the pipeline. We haven't even heard from Sony Santa Monica, Media Molecule, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games (team 2), etc. I...
they did. That's why one of the biggest software companies in the world couldn't even stream a live press conference. Microsoft just put themselves in a position to control exactly what people got out of the show. We weren't allowed to draw our own conclusions from it. We have the hear other people's opinions and video montages. Then you feed us a heavily edited version of your press conference.
There are still a lot of features you've announced that people h...
Microsoft advertised heavily out of the Windows 8 Surface and it still tanked. The generation buying games now are alot more informed than the previous ones. Word of mouth always comes out ahead of TV Spots. Especially since most people receive their information through the internet rather than television.
People will always get what their friends have. Why do you think the Iphone is so damn successful? No way Microsoft's buying their way out of this one.
Pretty much everything the X1 offers minus the paywall?
Subsciption based titles don't require PS+
Party Chat doesn't require PS+
Recording Gameplay doesn't require Ps+ 15min>5min
Game Streaming doesn't require PS+
Netflix, Hulu, etc don't need PS+
We have yet to see how Streams work on Xbox One and whether you can join them or not.
You question shouldn't be: "How is this a featur...
mention that most of Xbox One feature are locked behind a paywall?
GAME DVR
Game Streaming
Netflix (still?)
Skype
Party Chat
Did he mention that you have to download a patch before you can play your console offline?
30k>300k are virtual servers. 1physical server = 10 virtual severs.
Problem is, when one phsysical server goes out, you lose 10 virtual servers.
Kinect isn't even required no...
