It's not about cheap. It's about relative price: $499 US = $499 499 = $661.22 £429 = $667.78 $599 AU = $564.38 Basically, they're both (PS4 is $399/399/£349) still implementing a fuck-Europe-fee. And in terms of value: for 500 I can buy a brand spanking new PC. Or, for less than half that, a nice upgrade of the GPU. And…
I suspect the 360 sold more as a media device rather than a gaming console and so they're aiming for that market instead. I mean I don't watch TV anymore, I stream it all on the PC so clearly I'm not their TA. Regardless I guess they're saving the games for E3 which is fair enough. I just hope they have some good games lol…
I think their flaw is in terms of presentation. Video game consoles in the past have largely focused around video games they can play. Most people that watched this presentation were expecting a video game console presentation, where as they focused on showing a console that is capable of many other things. The bigger fear…
Tbh. pretty underwelmed. Ghost was cool but that was about it. The tv/cable stuff isn't even in europe (if rumors are anywhere near true) so that's 1/3th of the xbox made useless. They never mentioned the "always on" stuff but seeing how they talked about the xbox controlling your house practically it really does feel like…
There is plenty of potential in the system Microsoft has put together in preparation for the XBox One. I was listening to a podcast where a Microsoft engineer was explaining their "cloud" a bit more accurately. The persistent shared data that will be available to all games for the system sounds like one of the big…
Fair enough. But Microsoft didn't announce one of the most important factors for the crowd you're talking about. And that's the price. What they did announce is that they're going to be bundling a sizable accessory with the system. Even if the PS4 turns out to be more expensive to produce (GDDR5 vs. DDR3) the Kinect's…
That's why I develop using Unity. (free iOS and Android support, whooo!) And modern consoles no longer use off-the-shelf PC components. The next consoles coming down the pipe are designed with custom chips, motherboards, etc... The PS4 in particular seems quite impressive with architecture that is designed specifically for…
Well looking at the editor they were using it's basically the same as Cod4/w@w editor so it can't be all that 'brand new'. Personally I think it's just an updated version of the engine as IW usually do. People are such fanboi's it's funny as hell, as someone who owns both ps3/360 I couldn't honeslty say which is better…
Sony isn't being nebulous. They are simply not providing any information at all. There is nothing evasive or muddled in their message, there simply is no message at this time. And yes, there is the possibility that Sony will do the exact same thing with the PS4. Or they could do something different, but equally…
Both Total Biscuit and Angry Joe are both internet video game personalities, Angry Joe definitely gives me a slight I want to punch in him the face feeling, but his reviews are actually very good, if you can ignore the yelling. I can cut him some slack for rushing to get out a video on the Xbox one before anyone else. Of…
