I decided to pass. I could probably sell my Nexus 4 for ?150, meaning the 5 would cost me ?150, but the lacklustre camera impressions put me off. Enjoy the phone, folks. I hope it delivers.

Indeed. Microsoft will say that COD:Ghosts is 'upscaled to 1080p on Xbox One' and people will lap it up.

Some people love them, some people hate them. Killzone 2 had, in my opinion, the worst single player campaign of any FPS this generation, but others seemed to like it. Wait for the reviews.

Xbox one footage is under NDA 'til closer to launch. I believe the NDA ends on the 12th of November, or sometime around there. I can't remember the exact date off the top of my head.

No shit. Think about it. Battlefield - 64 players; Killzone - 24 players Battlefield - tons of destruction and 'levelution'; Killzone - limited destuiction Battlefield - huge maps that sprawl for miles; Killzone - small corridor maps Battlefield - tons of vehicles; Killzone - nope...

Not to mention the frame rates. 'On 64-player Conquest mode variants of maps such as Lancang Dam or Flood Zone, we get between 40-60fps while in the thick of the action.' So they couldn't even manage 60 frames locked, despite running at 900p? I wonder how bad the Xbox One performance is...

..But the iPad came out in 2010.

Just BF4. There was a big press event last week and tons of folks got the chance to play the game on both consoles. Should be Xbox One SP footage and PS4 MP footage released tomorrow.

The embargo on console footage ends around 5pm bst tomorrow. There should be a lot of footage released then. Expect PS4 to run at 900p and Xbox One to run at 720p.

More Neogaf rumours. Huzzah! TLDR; Xbox Live and PSN are both in pretty poor shape at the moment. Xbox One UI is broken. PS4 PSN hasn't launched yet. Expect problems. famousmortimer: Xbox One OS and Xbox Live issues bouncing about as we approach launch - Page 41 - NeoGAF

If you want 60fps games, buy a PC. Hell, if you want 30fps games, buy a PC (I'm looking at you GTA5 and The Last Of Us). Console developers have always chosen better graphics over frame rates (with, of course, a few notable exceptions like racing games, action games and some FPS), and that's...

Nah, it's not just you. Killzone 2 is my least favourite FPS game of this gen mainly because it controls horribly. Unfortunately, from my brief hands on time with KZ:SF, it's not much better on that front. The controls still feel laggy and unresponsive. That might have changed in the last...

They used to, back when they used to serve high bitrate .movs and .mp4s, but they only have low bitrate, poorly encoded h264 stuff nowadays. Gamersyde.com has the best quality I've found but, unfortunately, they don't get half the stuff the other sites do. Edit - Perfect example of how...

1080p Quicktime Link -iTunes Movie Trailers The movie looks way better than expected. I really like the new suit, too. Looking forward to seeing this.

I'd get your eyes checked, man. Forza 3 looked like shit -http://images.eurogamer.net/articles...ca_001.jpg.jpg. Horrible aliasing everywhere. I think Forza 5 looks great, personally. It's the only exclusive I find remotely interesting. It's also great that they finally got Spa into the game...

I don't think anyone, apart from the hardcore, will care or notice. Microsoft will say that COD is being 'upscaled to 1080p' and people will eat it up. I have a 50" 720p Panasonic Plasma and a 50" 720p Pioneer Kuro. These TVs, despite being years old, still look better than modern LCD TVs...

Some of their products are well priced. The Retina MBPs, for example, are pretty damn good value, in my opinion. I'll be picking one up shortly. The iPad Air is also the same price as the iPad 4 - I don't think that's a bad price at all. It's just the Mini, the Retina Mini, and the iPad 2...

Eh, I've already explained several times before that a retina iPad mini simply wasn't possible last year. Retina screens need powerful SOCs, and they're generally power hungry, which would have made releasing a retina model difficult last year. This year's SOCs are significantly more powerful...

So ridiculously expensive. The Nexus 7 is way better value for money. I'm rather impressed by the Retina MBP, though. Definitely grabbing one of those.

PlayStation Vita review (2013) So, the new Vita has nearly double the battery life of the old one. Impressive. I'm quite tempted to grab one now. Also, this is a great ad. Nostalgia overload.

Was that Pachter on the GT Bonus Round? I believe he said something like that. I don't think Japan will care too much. They're so mobile focused nowadays and home consoles are barely shifting any units. I'm sure there'll be some disgruntled gamers, but I imagine the majority simply won't give...

Swype > Swiftkey Flow for swipe typing, in my experience. Swiftkey is definitely better than Swype for regular typing, though.

More importantly, Nvidia's fixed input lag and screen tearing. AnandTech | NVIDIAs G-Sync: Attempting to Revolutionize Gaming via Smoothness

I don't know. I'm a Brit myself and I haven't paid much attention to the US bundles. The UK ones didn't look too good to me, anyway, mainly because I have zero interest in Killzone. I'd probably consider getting that camera + extra controller bundle if there was a different game in the box.

Yeah, there won't be a price drop until year two, unless the consoles have Wii U like sales, anyway. There should be bundles by this time next year, though.

The 16gb Nexus 4 was $350, so it makes sense that the 16gb Nexus 5 is $350, too. It's a bargain at that price.

Looks like it. Probably a good thing considering how janky the game looks. They were trying to fake 60fps using motion interpolation when I saw it at Eurogamer Expo and it looked awful. I can't see Forza being delayed. It's too important a title for the Xbox One. It's probably the biggest...

The new one doesn't have wakelock issues, so fuck knows. I'm not complaining, though. My 11 month old phone was replaced with a brand new one, and my battery life is decent again. I'm happy.

I rang Google tech support last week because I was having wakelock issues which were causing bad battery drain on my Nexus 4. They sent me a new one without any prompting on my part. Google tech support is surprisingly good.

The DS and the Wii dominated, but yeah, traditionally, the UK has sided with Sega and Sony more than Nintendo. I grew up with a Megadrive (and an Amiga and a Sinclair Spectrum before that), for example, and so did most of my friends. None of them owned a NES or a SNES. As such, I don't have as...

The figures are 685% in the UK, not Europe as a whole. That's important to note as Nintendo is doing fairly well in some European countries (mainly France), but doing abysmally in others (the UK, in particular). Here in the UK, Nintendo is pretty much a non-factor nowadays. Very few people...

That's a fair point. The main reason why mobile technology has developed so quickly in such a short amount of time is that mobile development has been ignored for years. People are taking the things they learned from desktop/other development and applying it to mobile and making big things...

I want it now. I'm sold. This looks way better than dual analog for fps. Great stuff, Valve.

Yes, which is what I said earlier. The console/dedicated gaming device market is probably going to shrink considerably though, and these devices will become decidedly more niche, much like dedicated mp3 players and gps devices. I don't think GTA5 is much of an indication of anything, by the...

You have to remember that the App Store has only been around for 4 years~, and its growing at an astonishingly quick rate every month. Spending on tablets/revenues is already massively overshadowing spending on dedicated gaming handhelds.. Google Play jumps ahead of Nintendo and Sony in...

Unfortunately, Activision combine their results with Blizzard, so we get stuff like this -- http://investor.activision.com/commo...ss_release.pdf PC Sales seemed to be around 10%~ for Q1 and Q2 2013 -Activision | Blizzard - Quarterly Results And EA -- PC seems to do rather...

You only have to look at the iPhone 5s to see what the future holds. It's the first mobile device to use a PowerVR rogue GPU, and it's damn impressive. And next years GPUs are likely to be 2x more powerful. The astonishingly quick pace of mobile development has been amazing to watch.

I did find this -- From Ubisoft's earnings report --https://www.ubisoftgroup.com/comsite...cm99105336.pdf I'd say that's a decent amount of sales on the PC. 20% in Q4 2012, too -https://www.ubisoftgroup.com/comsite...tcm9997146.pdf I can't be bothered to go back any further...

Wait, what? This is a ludicrous statement. We don't know what the viability is of the console market now, nevermind in the future. Think about this: When the 360/PS3/Wii launched, the iPhone didn't exist. Touch screen smartphones simply didn't exist in their current incarnations. Likewise...

Pre-order numbers mean jack shit. The Wii U had great pre-order numbers, and we all know how that turned out. Not to mention pre-ordering wasn't that big of a thing during past console launches. Nowadays, everyone can log onto Amazon and pre-order a console in one or two clicks, even if they...
