True true. I think "impactful" is the right wor indeed.
We all know the impact Halo CE had, Halo 2 was a game changer and cult FPS game, Halo 3 was the definition what videogaming should be.
Halo 4 was great ok ... but it was simply great, nothing more. Now for any other franchise that would be fantastic, but for a Halo game that isn't enough. I feel like Halo 4 just came and left like any other AAA shooter. Its not supposed to be just another A...
Interesting theory and would make sense.
"Next gen is also about the "innovations" you can't see"
This alone is pretty much more valuable than what Mark Cerny has ever said about next gen gaming.
Dude what I mean is if it has no impact whatsover they wouldn't have done it. They know the hardware by heart and assume that it would benefit the system in X or Y manner.
@Prcko
Sony making esay hardware to program for rather than an overcomplicated pain in the a$$ = following MS with the 360
Sony including cross game chat = followig the 360
Sony coming out with a cheaper console rather than asking people to get two jobs = following the 360
Sony aiming for simultanious wordlwide release = just like the 360
Sony making you pay to play online = just like the 360 :)
Hey their engineers improved it by 53mhz because they are engineers and know what they are doing. They've been working on the hardware for years now so if they modify it its for the better.
You are Sarobi, a N4G engineer your knowledge and experience in that domain: nothing.
Not only do you know nothing but on top of that the closest you have got to a next gen console is a Youtube video. Let the big boys do their thing, they're paid for that. I'm ...
""Since E3, an example is that we've dropped in what we internally call our mono driver. It's our graphics driver that really is 100 percent optimised for the Xbox One hardware. You start with the base [DirectX] driver, and then you take out all parts that don't look like Xbox One and you add in everything that really optimises that experience. Almost all of our content partners have really picked it up now, and I think it's made a really nice improvement."
Yes of course.
You had a PS3 and had decided to get a Xbox One rather than a PS4 before the Xbox One was even revealed and though the PS4 had already been revealed ?
That makes absooltely no sense whatsoever.
Vanquish 2 would be sweet. One f the best action games I played this gen. I dont dare imagine what it would give on next gen consoles.
"Well, just saying, so far Infamous Second Son is the most next-gen looking game on either console." You cannot be serious man.
Looks like somebody didn't see Forza 5, Battlefield 4, MGSV and especially RYSE !!!
RYSE is pretty much what I expected in the graphics department for a launch game when I used to hear the term "next gen" and that neiher PS4 nor Xbox One were revealed yet.
"He confessed that in the current generation of consoles, he preferred developing on Xbox 360 — its development tools, in general, "felt better," Carmack said. He's optimistic about the backend changes that Sony has enacted in previous years, though, and that he's seen the company making "large strides" towards courting developers and making their tools more accessible for them."
He is a honest guy. He said several times this gen that he ...
I can't believe some people actually think the gap between PS4 and Xbox One is huge.
I mean for seven years now we've seen how minimal the differance between the PS3 and 360 are though just like right now the PS3 was supposed to be some monster that would make the 360 look like and underpowered console.
It just never happened, and it won't be happening this time around either.
If Sony not had lost around 50 million customers to the Xbox 360 moving from the PS2 era to this gen they would not have come out with a 399$ PS4.
I'm pretty sure they still can't believe how this gen turned out. PS2 like success was the minimum they were expecting. At the end of the day it took them 6/7 years to catch up with the 360. They were vexed by MS and to a lesser extent Ninty and are now out there to get revenge. They're like "enough playing now, we...
"The PS4 is significantly cheaper and couple that with the fact that it can also be marketed as the most powerful console, people are going to choose that over the X1"
At the end of the day nobody cares if a console is more powerful on paper the PS3 clearly showed that this gen.
Unless there is a CLEAR power advantage, which wasn't the case this gen and doesnt seem to be te case next gen, people will simply go where the games are and with what c...
Watch the video people. This is the reason why I'm excited for Kinect 2.0
It only does what the PS4 doesnt.
@ 1m24s in the video, thats simply fantastic.
@theWB27
Well he was NOT ok with paying to play online and probabay spammed that whenever he could like most of his type on this site. But now he is more than ok with it. In fact it's even a great idea. So I guess you aready the answer :)
I got 99 problems but getting a Xbone at launch aint one.
The Dreamcast is not a next gen machine.
A PC is a PC. A console is a console. I dont see a picture of a PC when I check the dictionary and vice versa.
As far as next gen consoles go you cannot play Titanfall anywehere else but on the Xbox One.
Come on, Im waiting, spin it as much as you want but the FACT that the ONLY next gen console on which you can play Titanfall for instance is the Xbox One remains. Period.
Yeah Halo 3 had very long legs. Believe it or not but I remember Halo 3 outselling KZ2 at a certain period in the UK though it had launched more than a year after KZ2.
