@Jdoki.
I agree, they could split the offload but the issue is not around the offload itself, as hybrid cloud systems already run like this.
The issue is around getting the data to the client and getting it there in time as it will be queued to load so an always connected system will need to be running this.
But the load on the CPU to acknowledge when to send data there and not will have an impact also.
Now as for offline - Devs can easily cod...
its interesting how against the xbone people are.
If MS announce cloud gaming everyone is up in arms, but when Sony does it - its the next big thing.
Listen people cloud gaming will work, maybe not now but sooner or later.
The first thing to think about is the delivery of this data..
1. the clients bandwidth must be able to cope with the data - it is very reliant on this.
2. MS are using azure to do this, so they have a fast and large Content D...
yea.. I reckon whats actually happened here, is both MS and Sony have seen what gamers like about the controllers - tried to emulate that without infringing patents hence the similarity in looks.
Whats on the inside is another story.
I do really like the look of the xbox controller though (Excluding the AAA battery nonsense).
interesting how a different news site site the 1080p game has the exact same frame drops :/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/t...
Me thinks its the game dev and not the hardware
Read this story before we start bashing MS and SOny.. (it could be activision who could not get 1080p on Xbone)..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/t...
yeah.
Its probably booting a different version of the OS in debug mode too.
Imagine starting windows in safe mode with networking, it runs through all the drivers and dll files first.
Similar thing I reckon.
Prob has to SHA-MD5 checksum some parts too.
lol...
if the penalise people for it, those people will just stop playing.
I know lots of people who did it, so they could get all the weapons to play competitive TDM etc.
The #1 on GB did the same, I play with those guys from time to time.
exactly. CD is dead
@jimmylmao - Who still buys CDs? Youre finding a reason to complain when you probably do not pay for music, and your primary music player is an Ipod or smartphone.
Seriously - Just stick it on a NAS and play over the network like I do.
dude youre gonna die first - auto aim loool.
Play freeaim you might have a chance. But I guarantee some of the players like me will be able to kill you with a pistol before a bullet comes out of the minigun.
Headshots are instant kills, and dont forget about corner shooting.
What about 120+? I know lots of people who are like 185+
XBone has a stronger line up - no doubt.
But PS4 has 1080p.
Im not even a fanboy, Ive got a 360 and PS3 - but Microsoft are making it harder for me to justify giving them my money.
Sony are making a better argument for it.
Its a shame, if MS didnt F up earlier this year, might have been a different story
ill be buying the ps4 but the problem I have is all my friends are on the xbox 360.
IT will be a lot of work to get them to move over..
At the moment Im ok, Ive got ps3/xbox 360 and a PC - so Ill wait for the new year.
But it will be ps4 first.
@zod18 i think it depends on what you do online.
I mean I play a mix of TDM/DM Race and missions in freemode.
@nomercyonlyrage hit the nail on the head.
There are too many load screens.
Personally if you have people to play with it is quite fun, the big problem is they are rolling out more and more over time.
E.g - BEing able to create your own playlist, still not available.
They are giving a beach pack or something. ...
value for money, free games and AMD uses less power.
AMD have returned to profit, and they will get better because of the R&D from the consoles.
Should get better, I still believe Nvidia are ahead, but AMD have caught up quickly and are now on the offensive.
Who remembers in 2005 when AMD almost killed off Intel - intel came back hard.
AMD are most likely going to implement hyper threading apparently, rather than hyper transport.
...
lol..most people just boosted their levels.
I think this article is obvious flame bait.
BUT
"However, this is taking away performance from the traditional graphics pipeline so there is a limit to what you can move to the GPU."
I see this as meaning Sony may have invented a new method of programming for GPU compute - right?
Could be a different industry in a few years
@All above.
Yeah its insane rockstar have not put it in the online options.
Ive sent an email to the support team to see whether that can be put in, but COD is numbed everyones ability to play with 100% free aim
@zblacktt - get your skills up and stop playing traditional/ aim assisted.
Change your single player aim setting to free aim.
You will then only go into free aim lobbies online - Free mode, missions, TDM etc..
@hennessey86
I think the new tech is yet to come, these are sort of driver/ software updates.
Literally no change to the hardware at all.
Wonder if the same API update will work with the equivalent old cards.
@allformats - im just saying imagine if this was MS.
Everyone would be seriously angry and saying the Xbone is this and that etc.
But because its Sony - its a little easier going.
Lets take perspective.
1. Sony have confirmed the issue
2. the issue has occurred in the first 28 days of console release, and can be refunded or replaced.
3. its still under 1 year warranty
4. Sony are investigating.
5. Its a limited number of...
