[QUOTE="Kingpin0114"]This. The PS Vita does the same already so i'm wondering whether it's a feature we'll see make the jump to the PS4 too though, i'm also a tad surprised Sony hasn't got this patented to prevent MS doing it? umm don't think you would be able patented something like that. Either way that stuff be going on in computers FOR YEARSI like the Game Juggling info. Sounds pretty neat. That's the only part I liked though.

[QUOTE="Kingpin0114"]Really? I have never wanted to pause a game to start playing another one :|. Don't get under what circumstance you would want to do that. This right here. I don't see how that feature can add anything I'd care about.I like the Game Juggling info. Sounds pretty neat. That's the only part I liked though.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist or anything... but that mandatory always on kinect sounds kind of creepy and could potentially be used as an extreme invasion of privacy. Silenthps

Just make sure you're not doing something freaky while the nextbox is on. :P

But pausing a game to start another one? That's what they're talking about, right? I mean, that's kinda already available on PS3 and 360 with the home buttons, but not to that extent. Why wouldn't you just save the game and quit? Gotta load the game again, but big whoopIf all these rumours turn out to be true, Lems are going to have a miserable time on System Wars this gen. :lol:Xaero_Gravity
Where did the lems go?
[QUOTE="PAL360"]With those specs no chance in hell..'...describing the graphical leap from current-gen console gaming like going from playing Halo 2 on an original Xbox to playing Crysis on a powerful PC.'
It must be black magic :o
tormentos
True. That claim is probably a lie...or the specs...or both!!!
The 'multiple tasks running at the same time' thing sounds great, though.
I think we may be looking at the near extinction of Lems :lol: Next gen 90% of these lems will buy a playstation :lol:Â
I don't think adding kinect going to change the cost of the console very much. Also with those saying that it's mandatory, it's not mandatory that they use it. It's just part of the system if they want to use it. The Wii-U has a built in camera does not make it mandatory that all games use it. Personally the only reason I will pick up the new Xbox is if Kinect has been improved on. I want more interactive games. HarlockJCYeah it does. They have probably used alot of money to improve the tech, and having it mandatory with all consoles instead of an addon makes the consoles more expensive. Which is why the console is less powerfull than the PS4 and has the cheaper and slower DDR3 RAM.

I love that there is a Kinect with every system, that way the cost goes up making it look more like a worthy product if the price is higher, MS should also raise the price of Live too for the Nextbox, cause then more people see that price go up and assume it's even better than XBLG on the 360 (and it would be too, cause MS wouldn't raise the price for nothing). And with Kinect always on while I am playing my games is great, cause then MS can figure out exactly who their key demographic is and provide more rich and compelling games for me to buy. [spoiler] :P [/spoiler]This thread is severely lacking in the damage control department. Come on, don't be shy. There's got to be at least a couple of you out there to liven it up a bit.

There's no way both the Kinect requirement and the quoted specs are true. If they want a SKU below $400, it's one or the other.

MS is using the Kinect, Sony will have something close to the Kinect as well at launch.

The console is okay according to these rumors. I think the PS4 may have the ceepy kinect like camera thing to
super600
playstation has always had an eyetoy, it was never a means of control for every game like MS wants to introduce.
you will shake your arms and your legs for hours on end, and you will like it damnit! Don't you dare f*cking sit down either.

I read a rumor that talked about how the eyetoy may be used to sign into your account on the PS4 or something like that to recognize who the person right next to it is. It may reach kinect 2 creepy according ot what I heard;

I haven't seen anything on that, but that would be some weirdness.
Like scanning the retina? That would bring security to a new level.
The Kinect can already recognize your face and connect it with an account. It just sucks at it, judging from Quick Looks.

Kinect is more than just a camera, and the new xbox has built in hardware ment for Kinect. But I'm wondering if lems are alright with mandatory installs now??

However on a side note I am talking about Sony camera. Sony has a record of coping other companies, personally I see them making their camera just as good as the kinetic.

That mandatory install part was not pointed at you alone, it was a question to every lems that used that against the PS3 :). I just added it. You have a point, and I'm sure Sony will improve the Move tech, and maybe even make it more Kinect-like, if it's a market for it. But right now, they are not prioritizing that.

Are you really saying sony making a better eyetoy is Sony copying M$? That's really lols dude. If anything M$ copied EyeToy.
[QUOTE="HaRmLeSS_RaGe"]Or, Lemmings are in for one hell of a bashing in 9 days.Sony fantrolls are setting themselves up for a big fall once again. That's all i'm sayin :cool:

If it's nothing but Kinect when this all goes down, I'm guessing there won't be many lemmings for cows to do anything with.
I don't think Microsoft is stupid enough to force a Kinect on everyone, maybe I'll end up eating those words but there seems to be plenty of reasons NOT to have a Kinect with every console, unless they've improve it dramatically, make it smaller, more responsive and a lot cheaper to produce. The biggest of course being that plenty of people have odd set ups, I have a desk with a TV on it and sit right in front of it like a computer, which basically means that using the current Kinect it would see my face and nothing else. Plenty of people sit on their bed to play Xbox, sit cross legged, maybe some people swing from the ceiling like Tarzan, who knows, but the point is unless it's improved it's basically going to be an expensive webcam and microphone for a lot of people. Maybe that's just what MS wants though if it's going to monitor you (creepy) 24/7.

But as long as the price is right though does any of that really matter? Most games will barely use it just like the "Kinect enabled" games do now.Â
