Yes, but not in a linear fashion.

It isn't like you hit a button and suddenly the cloud can calculate light bounces or refraction..etc.

The way the tech works in CD3 is, each building is it's own server cluster essentially. So calculation changes are one server sending to another server. This allows the online game-state to only receive data from specific clusters designated for those specific tasks.

It's not like an online sessio...

Actually, it's entirely plausible for the XB1 to see that level of increase.

The problem is that everyone is looking at "Peak Theoretical" numbers, instead of looking at the percentage.

For example....

If the PC could run 1M Draw Calls with DX11, then mathematically it would run 16M Draw Calls with DX12. That would be a 1600% increase.

NOW......If the XB1 could run 100,000 Draw Calls with DX11, then mathematical...

Here's the difference between TR and SFV.

SFIV's TOURNAMENT STANDARD CONSOLE....is the 360. And the Xbox brand is not even getting the sequel. It's not about timed or delayed or extra content..etc..

Literally, the brand that has powered its tournaments for years on end, will not even see its sequel.....

It depends. It's outpacing the 360, PS3 and had already sold more than the WiiU as of last year. So really, the only console outselling it, is the PS4.

Alot of 360 and PS3 owners still have to upgrade. I was thinking this Holiday would have been the big one where everyone jumps next-gen. The reason I "THOUGHT" that, was because when CoD: BO3 got announced, they didn't say last gen was getting a version.

So I figured, this Holiday would be th...

Actually that's not how it works. MS runs an unskippable ad video before-hand. It's not a separate site.

I personally haven't seen it in the new Solitaire Collection with Windows 10, but I know they put them in for the Daily Challenges in Sudoku on Windows 8.

@XB1PS4

I agree. I think the new pin placement is a real turnoff. The ability to tab over from Home made it super accessible for my most used games/apps.

Hopefully they add a quick shortcut like double tapping the left shoulder from Home or something.

I'm also curious about the double tapping Home button during the game (2 minute mark in the video). When the guy double tapped, there wasn't the "Press X to record Y Button for scre...

Actually, the first Fable (Project Ego), was supposed to have Co-Op.

There's footage of it online. So, to say that it was always a Single Player RPG is incorrect. That was a feature cut in the last year or so of development.

The game was always about multiple heroes in the world. Which is EXACTLY what Fable Legends is about.

3981d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

No offense, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but I definitely hope they don't do a mainline Fable again. This is one of the problems I have with gamers nowadays, especially enthusiasts on forums.

Think about it. Has Lionhead ever REALLY demonstrated that they are premier story-tellers in this industry?

If the answer is No, which I'm guessing is what the majority would say...then why write another story driven game?

If they've P...

I agree, but the problem is, once they go to Japan...it's basically over.

I don't think Ubisoft could ever "top" Japan. It'd almost have to be their swan song to end the series, sort of.

People say Egypt could be good, even something like WWI, but the truth is, none of them touch Japan in terms of art and style.

Playing as a Ninja would be the ultimate assassin, in a way. So once they do that version, any other character...

What Ubisoft games have come out in the last 3 months?

Or is this just DLC and Season Pass stuff? It doesn't really state how the numbers are broken down.

3987d ago 1 agree5 disagreeView comment

Seriously? I have yet to understand how every company gets a pass on this but Microsoft is the culprit in this scenario.

Warner Bros. was SUPPOSED to ship this game LAST YEAR......in the Holiday. And then it got delayed.

Now suddenly, they are talking about how they can sell at different times of the year and can be successful. Why didn't WB say this last year when they were gearing up for Batman's release?

Hmmmm. I wonder if those with a Kinect will only need to buy a Rift HMD and not the entire setup.

The Kinect could be "somewhat" the equivalent of the IR Blaster that Rift has, so that might be an enticing pricepoint.

Maybe that's why MS keeps saying Kinect isn't dead. They've been trying to still talk about it, without being front and center. Could be a way to get more people on board with the Kinect sensor in a positive way.

You mean a feature, that's pretty much died the last 6-7 years, aside from a handful of games.

My god, a feature gets cut and everyone throws a tantrum. And it was a feature that literally didn't get much play considering the work that needs to go into it.

Man, gamers will literally find every fault in a game to complain. Split-screen is dead and all the complaining and whiny enthusiasts can't accept that.

I don't even like Ha...

I'm actually curious why this tech would be used in Quantum Break.

The only reason I see, is for when Zero State (time stopped) happens and the character is walking around and hearing conversations from all around him.

The way the game looks to be playing out, is that you're in a specific time loop for each section. So why would hearing characters all around you be necessary, if you're essentially in a one particular zone at a time.

To be honest, I think they should hire Blur to do a CG film and get Nolan North for the performance capture.

The movie is going to cost a ton anyways, especially if it's on the scale of Uncharted games. So give Blur $50M and call it a day.

The same thing with Halo. A photoreal CG Halo like the anniversary cut-scenes from Blur is exactly what fans want. And it'll probably cost a similar amount of money anyways.

Everyone keeps talking a...

Sold like ass? The PS3 version sold 500,000 more.

Seriously? 1.9M is now considered "sold like ass". WOW, I'm going to go and look at sales data to find out these other games which apparently tanked at almost 2M.

3996d ago 2 agree9 disagreeView comment

He's not actually wrong.

Those other devices you named are much higher end and also aren't specific to a console.

You gotta think about it. It's not just buying the HMD. You gotta get a PS Camera ($60). And you need 2 Move Controllers ($30 each). Also, some games may need the Navigational Controller a.k.a. The Nunchuck ($30). Lastly, you will also need a charger for your Move Controllers, which is like ($25).

So all in all, if Mor...

I disagree. BC is great for smaller titles, like a Limbo or Braid or Journey. Types of games with a more timeless level of graphics where horsepower isn't the be-all-end-all.

For something like a Forza 3 or a GT 5, it doesn't make as much sense, since those will be updated with versions that have better physics and car models etc...

Wrong......do your own research and stop listening to the idiot gamers on the internet.

The creators have stated in interviews, 70% bosses, 30% platforming.

And there will also be platforming elements in some of the boss fights, like with the Dragon and the clouds you jump on. Things like that.
