Master C, I don't know if that qualifies. Final Fantasy Online Runs off of Square's servers, not through PSN or XBL directly. A game like The Division or Battlefield may be a different type of situation because microsoft's and Sony's servers would have to play nice with each other.
If I recall, Sony's response at the time of the MS cross platform support announcement was something like, "We'll investigate it on a case by case basis." Th...
King Thrash, there is some merit to your post, but I think you've got the context wrong.
The merger of Xbox and PC is about making the brand bigger, and it will increase MS software sales (and therefore profits), and ultimately a console is just one method of getting the brand into the hands of consumers. I'm going to eventually be able to play my Xbox games from my phone, on a tablet, from any PC, or on a set top Xbox console. The merger will also open up opportu...
But Whole Toys.
That's the real problem with people like you, Game, you always think secret sauce was related only to unidentified hardware, partitioned off in some way so as to hide it from the devs and the public alike. No one in their right mind thought the XB1 was going to be some 5tf monster anyways.
The sauce is in the WDDM2.0 kernel and the DX12 API, and certain features of the API aren't going to be ready for devs to use until fall at the earliest. The platform is constan...
According to MS, they have more than a dozen unannounced games in development right now, so it seems like that is getting better alongside everything else MS has been doing right lately.
In the image shown, each side actually measures 40% less than the original, which is totally incorrect when trying to represent a volume of 40% less. If you calculate that representations volume compared to the original, it is actually closer to 80% less volume. I'm sure it was a mistake. They weren't shy about showing the actual consoles next to one another, and it was pretty obvious that it was not this small.
Hell, even NASA gets math wrong sometimes, like when...
You can get high on cats in Dead Rising 4?

PS4's GPU doesn't exist in its configuration either... because it was modified. Sony doubled the Aces from the original spec of the GPU they chose when they built the PS4, so of course they can modify it again. The question is will they modify it again or go with the downclocked 480?
To anybody who claims there's a lot of ignorance around here: You guys need to remind yourselves that you are speculating just like anybody else, the...
^^ This.
Yup. XDMA is an Explicit Multi Adapter. SLI and Crossfire are Implicit Multi Adapters. EMA has the advantage, not only to utilize any two cards, but also to create a single memory pool from the two seperate cards, and even direct processing to specific hardware within the cards themselves.
In theory, one could have an AMD card for FL 12.0 and an Nvidia card for FL12.1 features, and the EMA will split code to each card according to those features. Really cool stuff.
Exactly. Sony will be using the same architecture of the PS4, but will double the Aces and bump the clock speeds up on the GPU side, which will also improve the RAM bandwidth just as rumors have suggested. On the CPU side, it seems likely that they will use new cores with a higher clock rather than try to overclock, but the new cores will probably share similar architecture to that of the standard PS4 CPU in order to better maintain compatibility and simplify programming for both Neo and sta...
Next up for SJW's: There aren't enough females in the new Madden.
Going back to the series roots doesn't mean "sequel to 6". Change doesn't always mean better either, as demonstrated by RE 4, 5, and 6. Crapcom doesn't even have to use RC Car controls (tank controls would make use of both sticks pushed forwards to go forwards, one forwards and one backwards to turn), which worked perfectly fine for the atmosphere and most enemy encounters in the original series.
They needed to capture the spirit of the classic games...

Chivalry is not dead!
If it hasn't been announced yet, this article is just a rumor.
1666: Amsterdam, The gripping tale of an average pot-smoking tulip farmer, Bud Greenthumb, who uncovers a Satanic plot to rule the entire world by forcing the defiant to clog dance for all eternity.
Looking good, Platinum. Should be a fun title and will help diversify the MS library a bit too!
Love that you have as many disagrees as agrees at this point, when there's no refuting your facts. As proof, the OG XB1 can't upscale to 4K with HDR but XB1S can. They are the same exact hardware, besides the bluray drive and the HDMI Ports (which didn't exist when the consoles came out 3 years ago).
