    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It's all a matter of viewing distances, joe. 1080p isn't "showing its age" dude. It's all a matter of how far you are from the TV relative to the resolution. At normal viewing distances 1080p is all you need - you can't even see full 1080p detail until you're about 6.5 feet from a 50" TV (7.8...

    If you're 10 feet away from a 50" TV you're a few feet too far away, fyi. And regardless, it will make a difference dude. It really is night and day.

    You're so so very wrong. We're going to see huge jumps in visual quality this generation texture wise because most current console games use dogshit, terrible textures that are forced through 512mb of ram and almost no games actually run at 1080p. Almost all of them are weird variants between...

    New Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U

    I'll probably buy a Wii U when the new Xenowhatever comes out in NA. By that time the price should have dropped a bit and there should be more than a few big Nintendo games finally out.

    Unfortunately, it's a Microsoft first-party IP (they own Rare). So kiss your favorite Rare series good bye. The only hope you possibly has is if Microsoft lets them do PC versions, which from their comments probably won't happen unless they pull some Windows 8 only shenanigans.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There's probably publishing issues with getting a free copy of the game for different platforms (PC/PS3). Though they definitely should give you a voucher for the PS4 version if you get the PS3 version, imo.

    Playstation 4

    No, Q4 is October through December if they're talking about the Release Calendar and the normal year. Different quarters being through February is when they're talking about the Fiscal Year, totally different. My guess is that the PS4 is shipping no earlier than October 29th, AC4's release...

    There isn't any difference. The "Launch" SKU is just for people who pre-ordered right away and are guaranteed a unit on release day. If you didn't pre-order fast enough you are stuck with the "standard" SKU and are not guaranteed a unit and will be at the mercy of supply & demand and when they...

    Mirror's Edge Reboot Will Be Open-World:http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mis...-be-open-world Okay, now I am significantly more interested in it (Mirror's Edge 1 was pretty meh imo). This sounds way better than just another linear sequel.

    That's neat. I assume that will work for the PS4 version once it comes out if you wanted to play on PS3 or PC now and get a PS4 version later, assuming you're still playing by the time that happens.

    Thorne - there's an entire new problem too. There's a generation that's growing up and not even watching "TV". They're streaming it to their smartphones, tablets, and laptops with shit like Netflix, Hulu, HBOGo, and other online stuff and don't even care about "TV". Hell, a lot of us older...

    Yeah, Geoff went after people pretty hard at E3 and really pushed Reggie especially. I'm guessing Matrick bitched out and refused to speak at all unless it was specific questions or he was on some mandate from his boss to not get in Microsoft's faces like he did everyone else's.

    It being overpriced is a valid criticism. It's a significantly less powerful machine, it has a ton of anti-consumer features that devalue your purchases, and it has less usability. There's also a subscription pay-wall for doing just about anything on it while the PS4 only has a pay-wall for...

    I don't think anything even remotely compares except for the $599 PS3 shit. I'd love to see some backstage footage of the MS guys when the Sony conference went down and the crowd was going nuts. The looks on their faces must have been PRICELESS.

    Oh, fuck, I didn't realize you were in Australia. That sucks, my bad. I've known a couple Aussies for a decade and Australia has always sounded like one of the worst places on earth to be a gamer in. I guess even if you did get a US version of a game the ping would be a bitch yeah?

    Well, I trust Ubisoft a lot more than EA and they had people on stage with PS4 controllers. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on PS4 demos being played on PS4 dev kits (there weren't any production models, as far as I know, but there were dev kits). Also, the PS4 exclusive games...

    Well, I took your initial comment in the context that you thought the PC version wouldn't be worth getting over the Xbone version due to some perceived inferiority. PC versions haven't ever really been inferior to console versions, not that I can remember anyways and certainly not in the last...

    I disagree that PC versions get "Shafted", they're almost always better than their console counterparts (I can't think of any instance where they weren't better, actually). Have PC versions not been as good as theycouldbe if they were given proper attention this past generation? Absolutely...

    Sort of, yeah (it doesn't *really* turn off). But since it's packed into every system and forced to be plugged in those games could very wellrequirethat you use Kinect with them if the developers want. They haven't said one way or another for those specific games yet, we know little about them.
