Biggest innovation to me: Remote Play

And people can downplay the DS4 touchpad if they want, but it effectively adds the equivalent of a dozen buttons/sliders to the controller.

@ape: "dedicated servers for every game, Fact."

...if the publisher pays for them. Any implication that dedicated servers are free or a given for all Xbone games is pure FUD. If you claim otherwise, provide a source.

You could hook two PS4s together via USB and get a supercharged PS8.

No, it hasn't been announced or demonstrated, but the *possibilities* are there.

BTW... can you identify any of these Kinnect "possibilities" that could not be accomplished with the PS4 cam? About the only thing I can think of is maybe some low-light capabilities. Even the heart rate thing is just done by color analysis of the image.

I'll start one from the...

A toothbrush that can read your heartrate is pretty innovative too... doesn't mean there's a whole lot of point to it.

If you're going to try pulling bizarre slavery analogies out of your ass, I guess there's no reason to hold back on this one...

Are you really trying to crap on the Walkman, one of those iconic and successful products whose trade name, like Rollerblade or Xerox, became synonymous with an entire class of devices?

@SL: No, if they were listening to the FANS, they wouldn't have put out the policies in the first place. If they were listening to the FANS, they would have dropped the policies when they got backlash after they were announced. But they didn't. It wasn't until the preorder numbers rubbed their noses in their own hubris that they opted to back off.

Just like MS extended the 360 warranties because they "listened to feedback," right?

I dare you to explain how the Xbone is a "threat." Even if you want to make some lame argument that people are so personally invested in the "console war" that they are "scared" that the PS4 isn't a "beast," what is there to be threatened about when polls and preorders show at *least* a 2-to-1 preference for PS4 over the Xbone?

Let's flip the script... if the Xbone is so awesome, shouldn't it be able to stand on its own? Why...

This is gonna be sweet... don't know how I missed that this was being worked on.

I hope they still add in the challenges and have the 100+ unlockable characters.

Handy Man, Gingerbread Man, and Robofish FTW!

Where is Muerte saying "it WILL have heating issues," or "it WILL have a shorter life expectancy?" It's obviously his opinion. Just because he said "expect" instead of "I expect" doesn't do much to change that.

There is credible evidence that MS knew that the original 360 had heating issues prior to release, and then they denied there was an issue, and didn't extend the warranties until they were threatened with a lawsuit. T...

Look at all the adorable disagrees... ya must've still been watching Barney while Axel and Rosewood were cleaning shop at Wonder World.

Don't worry about Surge. Surge doesn't need protecting.

Yeah, it really sucks that PS3/PS4 doesn't have "unlimited cloud storage." I really wish they had let me store those old PSN games I deleted in case I wanted to access them in the future.

Wait a sec... you mean I *can* still download and play every PSN game I purchased since I got the PS3? Incredible!

As for the rest of that "unlimited cloud storage" noise: 4557d ago 6 agree1 disagreeView comment

"Xbox Live content, including your profile, games, Achievements and entertainment."

As others have said, games are not stored "to" the cloud, they are stored "on" the cloud. When you buy a disc game, it's not like the Xbone is going to upload the whole thing to the "cloud," it's just that the digital version is already on "the cloud" to be downloaded (and installed) whenever you want. $100 says you cannot play a game t...

I'd rather they keep cross buy... you won't always have a good enough connection to stream/remote play.

New TimeSplitters. With a map editor.

New Valkyria Chronicles.

New next-gen-old-school action-RPG a la 3d Dot Game Heroes.

New MAG (but I'm sure there will be other good 256+ player tactical/strategic FPS games in due time).

New eye candy hack-n-slash a la Ascension of the Metatron.

New Unreal Tournament.
