The massive architectural change means that they would have had to build a 360 in to the next box. Remember what happened when Sony did that? $599 box of hardware.
I did it literally once on my 360. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that the next generation Xbox won't have backwards compatibility. It bothers me slightly more on the PS4 though because I replay God of War a lot and it would be nice to not have to hook up my PS3 to play through all the games in chronological order. Not the biggest problem in the world however.
I'm doing the same thing :)
Great, now make the drivers better.
Video games work because you are actively experiencing them. Of course the transfer to a completely passive experience isn't the same.
I vaguely remember God of War 2 comin out on the PS2 and overshadowing everything on the PS3 at the time.
Yes I would like my game machine to remind me it's a game machine with lots of good games coming out on it. I don't want my game machine to be covered in adds and remind me I can order pizza on it, better with kinect. The 360 started as a game machine but that's hardly it's focus now and the worry is Microsoft will only make that problem worse next gen.
Don't forget about fluid animations and the gameplay that they promised in the trailers.
Who actually thinks these things are legitimate?
I'd rather know how many gigabytes the game is. Not that it matters, just curious.
As a heavily certified IT guy I can tell you it would help a lot. Modifying the GPU won't make it radically faster. Knowing the exact GPU that it came from would give an idea of what type of performance you can expect. It's not comparable at all to the PC because of the way a PC works, but it would give you an idea of what to expect.
@Xyla your lack of understanding about technology is astounding.
Yeah, Sim City 3 is totally a reason to be a PC gamer *facepalm*
@jeffgoldwin I can play Pac Man in 4k, does that make it a more graphically pretty game then anything current?
@sofresh412 Day-Z is headed to consoles and if you have no interest in most of the PC exclusives why bother building a gaming PC? I love both so I have both, but I know lots of people who just don't care about the vast majority of PC exclusives. Also, I wouldn't mention Sim City 3 as a reason to get a PC...
Yeah no. It's too late for Microsoft to change anything significant. The most they could change is the RAM and even that may not be possible.
I played Crysis fully maxed out and it seems like graphics are much more then 60% of that game. Which is why I never finished it.
As long as it stays firmly planted at 30 with not a single dropped frame with v-sync enabled with lots of AA I suppose it's acceptable.
Kingdom Hearts 3, nuff said
That's literally what next-gen means. A new generation of hardware.
