MS still blowing clouds of smoke up everyone's ass I see. Yeah. When a 68gbps bandwidth with latency in the nanosecond range is considered on the slow end for a modern gaming device, adding a 1.5mbps to a 1gbps internet connection with latencies in the millisecond range isn't going to be able to do much. And you better hope that if you do have a good enough connection to handle the few tasks cloud rendering is good for, that your bandwidth doesn't stall during gameplay or those en...
Troll on out of here. This little camera, that you buy SEPARATELY from the console, that is NOT REQUIRED to run the console, and isn't monitoring me while the system is off, cannot in any way be compared to Kinect 2.
They used the move controller to demo Media Molecule's new game, so I doubt that it's out.
And rightfully so... I imagine your son won't like the idea of not being able to swap games with his friends, or rent games. Both of those things were staples of my gaming childhood. That trip to blockbuster each weekend for a good school week was one thing that I always looked forward to. Borrowing that new game my mom couldn't afford at the time from a friend was another big aspect of gaming in my childhood. I kinda feel bad for kids who get the Xbox One.
Try the garbage can special...
This isn't a sprint. It's falling down.
What part about SIMILARLY PRICED did you not understand? Not everyone cares to blow thousands on a video game box that is large, loud, and power hungry.
Judging by the reactions of the people I know who have the devkit, it's far from a waste.
They should air this during the super bowl.
I love reading all the comments from people who act like what Microsoft was charging for when 360 launched is what PS4 is charging for today.
PS+ was such an attractive offer, that I was already signed up when the news dropped. It has no effect on me, and has maxed out my hard drive to the point where I'm deleting a few games each month to make room for the new ones.
Time for a bigger HDD. Thank god I'll still be able to upgrade mine next gen... gonna...
"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360,"
So, that's Microsoft's answer to our troops overseas? A polite f%@# you?
@Death,
All multiplatform games, by design, must cater to the lowest common denominator when it comes to features. In other words, you will not see a feature included in a game that simply cannot be done at all on the other systems. It has to be able to be scaled down to the weakest system.
Granted, the similar architectures of the 2 systems will reduce the number of things that have to get axed, but you won't see them taking full advantage of PS4's R...
"Square CEO Yosuke Matsuda Apologises For Causing Many Worries For Final Fantasy Fans" ... Then he takes an action/RPG game PS3 exclusive that was a side-story to the more traditional RPG FF13, and turns it into FF15, which is now multiplatform.
Just shows they have no clue what they are doing, and are scrambling to put something together so they are reviving dead projects they were too incompetent to handle last gen instead of giving us a proper FF15.
Actually, sparta, jokes did the very reasonable and mature thing of just admitting "I thought for sure they'd also have DRM but I was wrong. Well played Sony."
Don't just assume people will do something just because it's what you think is most likely. All of the above deserve their chance to react to this before being called out for anything.
You won't be able to build a PC for $399 that can do what a PS4 will do, and that'll remain the case throughout the generation (as PS4 falls in price). PS4 is tuned for gaming. No PC's GPU has a direct bus to the CPU. PC's have split memory, meaning if the CPU and GPU want to work on the same data, they must each copy that data into their local pool of memory first, which takes time and creates a bottleneck. There are a number of optimizations that you'll find in these con...
Though the NSA has the capability to do far much more damage. Become a political enemy of whoever is in power? Next thing you know your home might be tapped and whatever they find used to blackmail you into shutting up. Read the things the dude who blew the whistle on the NSA has been saying about their tactics.
And with Microsoft being the first tech company to sign up to hand data over to the NSA, their kinect policy makes much more sense now.

There's a bad choice that gamers have to make these days.
Buy an Xbox One and pay for online plus have restrictive DRM in place.
Buy a PS4 and lose the DRM but keep the pay to play online.
Go to PC and get free online but also get DRM (and you'll see more titles use it this gen, don't pretend Diablo and Sim City were isolated incidents). Also end up spending much more on hardware.
It is the most important platform to them, since it's the only one that they can manage to get their hardware into.
