Yes, paid advertising is an excellent indicator of demand.
Preordered KZ:SF, but might just get the DD version. I think KZ+F2P+Driveclub/Resogun will keep me busy for a little bit.
I WAS going to do a midnight pickup, set it up, start downloads, go to bed, go to work, have it ready and waiting when I get home... BUT I just now called GameStop, and they said they're not doing a midnight release for either console.
WTF?!
I believe it's just that "Toxic Terror Trap Playset" that's "coming soon." It's the only item you can't click through.
Of course, both the Xbone and PS4 should be marked as "coming soon."
"exclusively advertised"

PS4 is still on the list of 36.
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone paid to get on that list, though (just maybe a bit more for top 15). I mean... a Mega Bloks set is on there, but not one Lego set? I don't care if it's got a CoD t...
Oh yes, I'm ever so insecure.
"Oh noez! 12-year-olds might beg mommy for an Xbone!" (at which point she'll compare the price tag with a PS4, and walk out of the store having saved $100)
Hell... maybe it's a good thing... keep those pre-pubes where they belong... on XBL. [yuk!]
"Exciting news today from our partners at Toys “R” Us..."
Huh... well PS4 remote play is motivating me to pick up a Vita sometime early next year so... there ya go.
"they leave it up to developers to make things work or not with the hardware they provide"
So does MS have a stipulation that a dev MUST use Kinect? Nope... just a stipulation that the customer MUST BUY the Kinect.
Unlike Kinect, the dev does have a guarantee that the touchpad will be connected at all times.
Seriously... title could just as easily been
"The Witcher 3 Dev on Kinect: “Not Going to Waste Our Time” if it Doesn’t Suit the Game"
Yes, they *asked* about the DS4, but the response covered both consoles.
"with the new hardware, the *next gen consoleS* are offering a lot of things"
Hell, could have just as easily been
"The Witcher 3 Dev on DualShock 4 Touchpad (or Kinect): “we are...
From the KZ:SF demo technical breakdown:
"Our aim for announcement event was to run on
PS4 hardware: 1080p, solid 30FPS, NO CHEATS"

Now, one could say "yeah, that's the *target* render. However, from Eurogamer:
"Killzone: Shadow Fall is set to wave the 1080p ...
Meh... he gets kudos for heading off another fiasco. If he didn't say anything, people would have found out after release and the backlash would have been worse.
Can you show me one person saying "graphics don't matter?" (well, aside from Xbots)
People don't like elitists trolling with their "PC has teh best grafix 4evah" because WE ALREADY KNOW THAT. It's Captain Obvious level inanity. People choose consoles instead of PCs for convenience and ease of use, but that doesn't mean they don't want the best console bang for their buck.
Oy. Let's see...
1) as Dark said, Marius is 150k triangles, not polys, so he could be about half as many polys. But that's GG's bad for listing polys instead of triangles
2) as Wishing said, that 150k is for Marius *only,* whereas KZ:SF has 40k polys for ALL characters at LOD1. It would be interesting to see what the poly/triangle count is on Ryse NPCs. Their level of detail is noticeably below that of Marius. So putting a half-dozen KZ:SF charact...
"A stand-alone version without Kinect is not being considered, as Kinect is essential for the Xbox One because many important features of the console won’t work without it."
So "essential," it doesn't even need to be hooked up!
"Spencer also talked about three main uses for Xbox One’s cloud services at launch.
-COD dedicated servers
-Drivatars
-Power of the Cloud"
Soooo... same stuff t...
"Carmack says 'very close'" becomes "Developers say it's a draw?"
Site downvote.
"Let the games do the talking."
"It's far above 720p output and only slightly below 1080p."
I didn't know "far" and "slightly" were synonyms.
900-720=180
1080-900=180

@H0RSE: If you plug your 360 into your Xbone, can you play the 360 with your Xbone controller? No? Then by your definition I could say my TV is "essentially" PS3 backwards compatible... because I can plug my PS3 into the HDMI-in port. Hell, by that rubric, I guess you could say that the Xbone is "essentially" backwards compatible with PS3, Wii, Wii U, and laterally compatible with the PS4. Impressive.
I think MS missed a huge opportunity on that, BTW. If y...
