[QUOTE="Shensolidus"] I've alluded to it, i've even sort of acknowledged the game on these boards, while keeping a low profile of course. I've said that once the game comes out i'd be happy to reveal what it was. Shensolidus

I have a question. How much is the hardware devoted to running kinect? After seeing Forza 5 and Forza 4 screens, Forza 4 looked far cleaner than Forza 5. I'm thinking so much of the power is utilized for kinect that the power of the machine that's left for gaming is less than the power of the 360. That can explain why Forza 4 looks better than Forza 5.

Answering that question is something i'd DEFINITELY get in trouble for. Yes, there is a reason this question hasn't been answered yet, and gamers would probably ruffle a few feathers once they found out about it. To be fair, that isn't the only 'service' that sucks up APU cycles that isn't main game related. I'd be surprised if any of the actual numbers ever gets out there.

So is there a reason why SONY is silent about CPU clockspeeds and RAM reservations for the OS? It's 1 and a half more months until launch, so I'd assume that both numbers are finalized.

Also, is the 10% GPU reservation on the Xbone for just the OS? If it dedicates extra CPU and GPU cycles to process kinect, I would lulz. That news would be even worse than a downclock.

There is no way anybody with any knowlege of neogaf could say that with a straight face.

NeoGAF supports the best vendor.

True, most of the members there are pro-SONY now, but it's becuase PS4 is objectively superior to the competition, not because they're Sonysexuals.

There's a difference between liking a product because it's the best on the market and liking a product because you love the company that made the product. How do you explain the fact that SONY got bashed and mocked at NeoGAF for the PS3?

but ps4 is only objectively better by pure specs alone, when it comes down to it, it has more features, and a different set of games. Its not like xbone is a bad product by any stretch of the imagination and can easily have more value to consumers.

Price and specs. Also, SONY has a trackrecord of supporting their platform with diverse exclusives for more than the first 2 years. Microsoft, on the other hand...

Fair enough man, I suspected you'd have to keep a low profile. 

Well good luck man. I don't know if I got to play the game you've been working on, but over the weekend I played (or saw played) Forza 5, Ryse, Killer Instinct, Kinect Sports Rivals - they all looked very good, and the ones I got to play ... they were fun, solid gameplay. 

If those were the only games you got to play, then you didn't play what i'm working on. I'll say that we had a very big presence at Eurogamer Expo. Sorry to hear you didn't come to check out our game. I guess our line must've been too long... ;)

Battlefield 4. Could it be any more obvious?

That's awesome man. Are you allowed to talk about what you're working on? Which project or anything?

[QUOTE="Shensolidus"]

It was just the upclocks. As someone who uses an Xbox One DAILY, trust me that nothing in that box has changed (spec wise) since late July.

Shensolidus

how is the controller and how quiet is the system, also what can you tell me about the performance?

The controller is okay. Not as comfortable as the 360 control, prefer the curvature of the control to how your index fingers rest on LB/RB far better on the 360 pad. The way it rests on the One pad, you have to press into it. Also, pulling the triggers feels weird. They go more 'inward' versus straight down like the 360 pad. Its not terrible, just not what I expected after the near-perfect 360 pad. Performance wise it is fine. There are a ton of hurdles and issues, but nothing that won't be streamlined in a few years time. There are a ton of things I DON'T like, for sure, but I think if you're someone who likes Xbox and the MS family of products, particularly Metro/Windows 8, than this console is going to speak well to you. If not, and you're not within the Windows 8 ecosystem, I think that you may wanna wait until the price comes down a bit, which shouldn't be too long after launch if the number's RE: PS4 sales i've heard from within the industry are true. I'll offer you this: the new Kinect is a steaming pile of garbage. It does not work as intended at all. Navigating the UI with the controller is SIGNIFICANTLY faster. The kotaku article that covered the Kinect is more accurate to the performance of the device than any other piece of coverage out there.

BOOM!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol:

I TOLD YOU SO!!! AND NO ONE BELIEVED ME!!! :cool:

The Xbone controller is inferior to the 360 and PS3 controller. Deal with it, lemmings. :cool:

Contrary to your bs beliefs, NeoGAF is quite neutral.

[QUOTE="Tighaman"][QUOTE="Shensolidus"] He is referring to the upclocks they have discussed over the summer. No components have been changed, it is the same specifications we have all known about for awhile now. Please tell me you're not some believer of a certain website.Evo_nine

No he said upgraded not upclocked means changed?

 

It might be the upclocks, but i thought only the CPU upclock had been disclosed.

 

What was the original announcement back at e3....I cant remember

GPU got a 53 Mhz upclock. :lol:

[QUOTE="darkangel115"] So one sony's fan opinion on a PS forum means its better? darkangel115

Was actually 3.

The first one was Jeff Cannata, who works for CNET.

The bottom 3 are from different people at NeoGAF. :cool:

How come everything you post makes no logical sense?

If your friends could tell you DS3 was better than the 360 controller, then why would it be difficult for them to tell you that the DS4 was better, especially ince the DS4 is getting raving reviews for its vast improvements over the DS3?

Go back to misterxmedia's bullshit livejournal page where you belong. Contrary to your bs beliefs, NeoGAF is quite neutral. In fact, SONY received its fair amount of bashing by the NeoGAF community for the disastrous PS3 launch. It's now Microsoft's turn to be bashed by NeoGAF.

If the lightbar is a problem, put tape over it. It's not that difficult.

And how is the speaker distracting? Do you play games with no sound from your TV?

Also, Jeff Cannata.

Your turn. :cool:

http://www.psmania.net/2013/06/jeff-cannata-says-the-ps4-controller-is-far-better-than-the-xbox-one-controller/

"PS4 controller is far better than the Xbox One controller"

From Gamescom attendees:

"I was a little bit disappointed from the Xbox One controller and loved the Dualshock 4 controller from the first touch. That comes from a so called Xbox Fanboy. I preordered both console's and will keep it that way but the Ds4 feels ace. The Xbox One Controller has bad lb rb buttons and the analog sticks are to loose like the DS3 ones. But I liked the Ryse Coop Gameplay it looked ace and was fun. The first game on the Xbox One was Lococycle smile.gif."

"Both are great, but I liked the DS4 better. 
(I played this gen almost exclusively on 360..)"

"This seems to be thing though across many gamers. All four of us liked the DS4 better even though we think the 360 controller is pretty much perfect apart from the dpad. It's like I'm living in bizarro land where the DS4 is good and the one controller is so-so."

[QUOTE="XboxFails"]

[QUOTE="darkangel115"] Why is that a lie? how do you know he didn't break a PS4 controller? darkangel115

The biggest problem I have with it is when he said the DS4 wasn't as good as the 360 and ONE controller. As someone who has personally tried the Xbone controller, I can vouch that it is absolutely WORSE than the DS3. Professional critics and gamers alike have touted the superiority of the DS4 while denouncing the Xbox ONE controller as sub-standard and mediocre at best.

There's also the issue that the picture he showed with the windows 7 PC had keyboard & mice on them, not controllers. The guy is a bullshitter, plain and simple.

It sounds like something written by a basement dwelling lem like Tessellation. :cool:

everything i read while saying the DS4 is much improved, still favored the X1 controller. also whether he personally liked it or not, has nothing to do with one breaking. It would be nice if he specified what he did to make it break and how it broke. he could have pushed hard on a bumper or trigger and it jammed in place. its not impossible by any means.

Link me to professional critics who have made that claim, because all professional reviewers are saying the DS4 is superior.
