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

Wasn't that just from their PC venture.

I swear this is the last time I'll ask, but would it be better for Nintendo to go software only?

Better in what sense?

For the last time, no.

They say it is because of their PC unit, I suppose we'll see what happens when that's gone.

It does kind of suck that I bought an Xbox One with a Kinect but I use it for Skype mostly. It works really well and a family that uses Skype to converse with relatives overseas, it's almost a must. You can get your entire family in the same shot, it's high quality and the software allows the system to pinpoint who is talking. It's really quite neat.

I also like the voice commands. They might not work the first time but it is still faster than turning on the controller and navigating that way. I run while watching Netflix and I can get my treadmill/shoes all ready to go and by using voice commands, I can do two things at the same time. As well, having the console turn on my stereo reciever and TV is pretty neat.

Anyways, it's a good move. I want to get a PS4 soon (once Uncharted 4 gets released) but I still think Xbox One has better exclusives that I'm interested in.

Even without Kinect, the XB1 will still be significantly weaker than the PS4.

It's not "significantly" weaker. It's weaker.

The Wii U is significantly weaker.

And when does powerful mean anything when it comes down to consoles. It doesn't. It's all about the games.

Once again everything is about dem graphics.

The difference in dem graphics between the 2 consoles is negligible at best. I own a PS4 and though it does appear to be stronger, it isn't enough to lower the price even further. Not in my opinion anyway. Looks like I'll be getting a bone when Halo 5 comes out after all. *Thanks the gaming gods*

I agree. Between third part titles, it won't make a difference. PS4 might be more smooth but I don't see developers making a massive effort to increase the graphics for it.

In first party titles, you will see a difference, especially later on in the lifecycle. But again, does it matter? Not in my opinion.

Some people think that the Xbox One graphics will be sooo shit but that's untrue.

But in truth im pretty sure the xbone is capable of 1080p. To my knowledge Forza 5 does in fact run at 1080p. I think its all on the developers not being able to properly utilize it yet.

Either way good graphics on consoles are a good thing but not really what sells them. If someone is buying a console based on the best graphics they should just go to PC. I wanted the Xbone for its multitasking and I liked the game selection much better. Not to mention my gamerscore. It had a lot less to do with my decision but I would have been sad to lose the 82k+ after so much time put in.

I really hate everytime I look up sites to check the latest gaming news, someone constantly keeps posting articles the PS4 version of third party games can run on 1080p while the Xbox One version is lucky to run on 790p. As someone who grew up playing the Sega and Super Nintendo, I don't give a shit what number is next to that p. I can still see the game on my screen can I? And I'm glad it's just been reported Watch Dogs on consoles won't run on 1080p so maybe now those who give the Xbone shit for it's resolution will quit waving their dicks. I only bought the PS4 because it was cheaper and didn't have any questionable devices with it. It had nothing to do with it being more powerful. Now that the Kinect is stripped, I may consider getting it after all but it depends on whether Halo 5 and future exclusives will be any good.

Im glad to see we have a consensus. I too couldn't care less about the resolution. I went PS4 because it was cheaper and had the neat PS plus free games and Netflix and the other apps didn't need the subscription. Not to mention I didn't care about the Kinect and thus was very wary of MS's aim for the console. Now all of that is gone and we have a PS4.2 lol. Lots of copying, but I honestly don't blame them. I say copy what works. Just like the PS4 felt more similar to a 360 than a PS3 control and OS architecture wise. Another thing that made me want the PS4 was the fact I didn't have a Sony console for 4 years after my PS3 died, and I found myself missing a lot of exclusives I wanted to play.

If only Nintendo was more willing to listen to the fans like MS and Sony. *Sigh* I'd buy a true next/current gent Nintendo console in a heartbeat.

Resolutions are only flame console wars. And this mythical 1080p that supposedly all games should get is kind of annoying as well.

As long as it's smooth with a playable frame rate, I couldn't care less. A 30FPS is not that bad either. I remember the original Crysis played really well at 30FPS. It matters if the frame rate is stable.

Depending on the game 30 fps can be annoying, but many are fine. But I do notice the difference atleast when playing on pc

I do too. The difference can be notable...but it isn't game breaking. Halo 5 will be the first Halo to run at 60FPS. That never stopped the franchise from cashing in the piles of money and pleasing thousands of gamers.

If you want power you get a pc anyway. You get consoles for other stuff

The one thing that got me was when playing at higher than 30fps in some games, because it was smoother, it was also faster, and it felt like I had to adjust the speed I played the game at just to keep up.

Granted it's rare, but it was interesting to experience.
