Oh, I see. I'd not heard that before...
I, Matrix? I agree about this becoming a game. The premise is fascinating.
I don't know what's more impressive: The amount of quality features MS is intent upon implementing into DX12, or the fact that Dual Shockers actually wrote an article!
Why should I have to go out and buy the console my friend prefers just so I can play online with them? If I like XB1 but my friend likes his PS4, I should be able to play COD or whatever with him all the same. Friends can have different tastes and still get along.
How is anyone winning when no hardware is available to consumers yet? Sony has sold exactly ZERO PSVR to date. Don't talk about price either... When you factor in the camera @$45, move controllers@$50, and headset @$80 (all things included in Oculus Rifts' entry price) PSVR is almost the same price as OR is.
They need to quit with the superhero BS, and get back to gangbanging turf wars just like you said. 2 had the best balance of serious and wacky!
You realize that you're talking about DX12 on PC, Right? AMD only supports FL12.0 and Nvidia only supports FL12.1. Since neither company is fully compliant with DX12 on their hardware yet, it's not easy to program games to run DX12 on PC.
Also good to remember is that Phil publically stated that the XB1 was designed for full DX12, and at last years GDC Europe MS confirmed in a slide presentation that it's GPU supports both FL12.0 and FL12.1.
Wall Street, I would say that it is likely that adding DX12 late in development of Battlefront didn't allow for DICE to fully implement DX12 features but allowed for improvements in certain areas of optimization. Since the engine for SWBF was already deep in development before the release of DX12 it would be unlikely to have been fully integrated, but would have been patched in instead.
As an example, Assasin's Creed uses the same engine in multiple titles, but the d...
Because Umbrella appears to the public to be a cosmetics company, and works on the zombie stuff in secret.
Don't forget guys, PSVR doesn't include headphones either. Oculus Rift includes headphones, the camera, and an XB1 controller in its price of entry. PSVR only appears to be cheaper because it is sold ala carte.
PSVR $400
camera $45
move controllers $50
headset $80
total $575
Oculus Rift with everything $599
I don't see any sign of Nintendo's intent to compete. From all outwards appearances, NX seems to be another Wii or Wii U scenario. Being years late to the party and trying to pioneer another unique way to play don't seem to be elements that would contribute to the notion of competition with anybody else.
Not sure I follow. MS opened up XBL so 3rd parties can make their games with a cohesive multiplayer mode across all platforms if they choose. What else could MS intend to achieve besides allowing devs the freedom to choose that option now?
Indeed. The Sires' creation explained one type of enemy in the Gears universe, but I always wondered where the other types like Berserkers and stuff came from. I remember an interview with "Cliffy B" where he'd stated that he'd like to do prequels based on the Pendulum Wars when systems became powerful enough to do a game like he envisioned. I had always assumed that we'd get to see more on the origins of thhe Locust at that point.
Gears 4 is really ...
The ambuguity in their statement could mean that they are simply continuing to support crossplay with PC and not XB1. Time will tell if they are open to the idea of cross-console play or not.
Gamestop's offices deserve to burn down. They treat their employees like slaves.
On topic though, I think that there should be a sort of digital rental service where you can download the games and delete them when you're done to return them. It would be better than a buy/sell/trade digital model IMO.
TBH, all online portions of games should start using the cloud on XB1 to enhance the quality of the gameplay experience!
There are two important factors regarding DX12:
•No hardware is fully compliant yet(except XB1, which was shown to be at GDC Europe last year), since Nvidia only supports FL12.1 while AMD only supports FL12.0.
•Devs just got their hands on the tech and their programming profficiency is not that great yet.
This means there will be some hiccups as the tech needed to run DX12 matures and as programmers learn how to better speak the language of DX12 in gener...
Better watch out for Michonne.
I think it's wierd that you can easily hide games that are ready to install, but in order to unhide them it's a big secret. I had to look it up online to find out you need to hold the left and right triggers and press (X) all at the same time. Why not have a single button, with directions at the bottom of the screen? (X) Hidden Games List. There, was that so hard? Right now it's like I'm trying to get 30 lives in Contra or something...
Those are earbuds, not a headset, while Oculus Rift includes an on the ear headset. Move controllers are required to get the full experience of PSVR. Your argument is valid only if you don't care about comfort or quality sound, or simply don't want to enjoy full VR.
Remember, Oculus Rift will eventually have it's own motion controls too, at which point they will probably offer a package that includes the motion controlls instead of the XB1 controller.
