Current Gen Console Discussions (PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch (Pro?) OFFICIAL THREAD

I highly doubt the PS4 is x10 more powerful. Both of them have nearly the same architecture.

Knack reminds me of a mix of Sonic Adventure and Mega Man Legends. I like it.

It's marketing talk. Or perhaps the PS3 was 3 times worse than the Xbox 360...

The PS4 has a more powerful GPU (50% more powerful by some accounts) and faster RAM (3 gigs of which isn't reserved for running multiple opperating systems), also there is the rumor that Microsoft had to underclock the X-Box One due to heating issues. /shrug

It's still bullshit.

I am willing to bet that regardless of the specs, the actual practical outcome in technical difference between the two consoles will be negligible.

Yep. I would agree. Hell, most multi-platform titles might look worst of on PS4 if they were mostly designed for the XBOX One.

Microsoft has confirmed on its official website, according to Polygon, that it has dropped DRM control with Xbox One and the need for the console to log in online every 24 hours.

So, that makes the PS4 worse on DRM now...yes?

PS4 basically said if the publishers are going to include it then it is up to them. Which is fair.

But honestly you gotta love Microsoft. Backpedaling like crazy.

They gained a little respect for that.

Now my decision on which console to purchase will rest entirely on how the family-share thing will work. If I can exploit it then...hell yeah.

If that thing honestly works out to be 1 game for 10 separate Xbox's then it would be a good deal.

But honestly I can't see why publishers would want that since it could so easily fawk them over.

Just a good deal? That is an amazing deal.'

**** I'd settle for just sharing the game between 2 or 3. 10 is just plain deliciously awesome and I doubt it would happen.

But I can't see why 3rd party publishers would want to make games for that system.

I mean if me and 10 friends(if it can be extended to friends) could instantly share a single game then why would we bother buying more than one copy of the game lol?

I agree, still having my fingers crossed though.

lol, not ****ing surprised.

Just to go over stuff:

MS Says:

An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

3. Get rid of the 24 hr check-in crap. I'm okay with having to register your games, one time, like some PC Games require. But just one time.

MS Says:

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

...

The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc.

3. Just don't make it required to pay to switch the games [between owners]...

So MS listened to my complaints and it seems like they addressed them, directly (obviously, they didn't address my specific complaints and use my specific ideas, but as a consumer, it feels as though 2 out of my 3 complaints are invalidated, now).

The only thing MS needs to do, now, to fix my only remaining complaint is requiring Gold to use apps and play online.

Yup, this.

Don't be modest DDM. If Kishimoto visits the Naruto thread it is also possible that the higher ups of Microsoft do the same here. It was your specific complaints addressed. awesome

Not sure how to feel about this honestly. I never had any intention of getting the Xbone and was just enjoying the drama. Seeing Microsoft actually grow up is somewhat heartwarming but honestly they're just doing it because the pre-order sales must have blown ass.
