I agree it is interesting. With as great of a job that Crytek did with Ryse in the visuals department, we should see some jaw dropping games when DX12 games start coming out. Its definitely something to look forward to.
@frosty
So MS has done nothing with DX12? They just showed it off it at BUILD. Surely, you don't think DX12 will be bad for the X1. Or that they have not been developing it already. You come off as a hater more than anything. I get it, you feel threatened and just have to attack that which is threatening your gaming ego. lol a lot of threatened folks in this story, so atleast you are not alone.

"Titanfall uses dedicated servers (like a lot of games have done), to produce AI that is not only sub par, but ridiculously bad. Great."
The cloud will grow and we will see it used to make games better, I don't see whats bad about that. We are at the beginning of this generation. MS has the 2nd largest server farm in the world. Im sure we will se them flex some muscle with the cloud. As for dedicated servers, yeah that's nothing new or...
Titanfall is doing very well. It has proven to be a great exclusive. Titanfall is also a game that uses the cloud, both for dedicated servers and bot a.i. Titanfall is a blockbuster and a reason to own an X1.
You are right though the X1 does more than just play games. It also serves as an all in one hub for your living room. The X1 is a feature rich console that can also play blockbuster games.
The X1 doesn't need pr fluff, its a great product that will s...

OK Ill bite, I have one bubble left, what would you 2 sony enthusiasts ask Phil Spencer?
When that cloud is powering dedicated servers for online multiplayer and you are stuck with P2P servers on the ps4, you might learn to appreciate those clouds.
The only thing sony can harp about is price. The X1 offers more than the ps4 in the functionality department. Sure the ps4 can play games, and thats basically it. The X1 can play blockbuster games as well as many other things. Its an all in one device, and that is one of the X1s greatest features.
The X1 will fight back, and probably overtake the ps4 NA and UK in the future.
The X1 will be a success, simply because its a better product than the ps4. It has more features, and the features the two do share are arguably executed better on X1.
The X1 has the cloud, that powers dedicated servers for the X1s online MP. Sure dedicated servers isn't something new, but we will surely see the X1 make more use of them than the ps4. Being a core gamer, I want...
Using the cloud to take workload off the cpu and gpu sounds like it will reap benefits for gaming. Not sure whats so bad about that. The cloud also powers the online MP of the X1 with dedicated servers. MS is a software company, if anyone can find a way to apply the cloud to their projects, they can. They have advertised the cloud as one of the X1s key features. We have already seen the cloud dip its beak into providing A.I. The cloud will continue to be used in future games probably for a va...
The 360 trounced the ps3 in NA. Once the price is right, the X1 will catch fire in NA. And once the word gets spread that the X1 is an all in one device, and also plays blockbuster games it will be successful. How successful is up for debate as we are at the very beginning of the generation, but the X1 is a promising product, only a fool would deny that. Give the X1 time to get to as many countries as the p4. This is a marathon not a sprint.
lol One console is available in what...32 countries, while the other is only available in what...12-13? One is available for $400, the other is available for $500. You are wrong. We have a whole generation ahead o us.
MS kicked sonys ass, as far a games are concerned, at E3 2013. If sony hadn't had their reveal of a no drm policy MS would have easily won E3. They literally showed games from the start of their conferene all the way to the end.
You are looking at the X1 wrong, and he ps4 half wrong imo. The X1 can play great games as well as all of its other features. In the bigger picture, its a war for the living room. I predict we will see sony start to work on adding more media funct...
MS has already proven that the cloud can be used for A.I.. The demo yesterday showed that the cloud can be used for physics. Looking at the comments in this story, its safe to say that the sony camp here on N4G are moving the goal posts yet again regarding the cloud. Its inevitable that the cloud will continue to grow, and will be demonstrated in more games as time goes on. I fully expect the sony camp to keep moving those goal posts instead of admitting that cloud computing is an advantage f...
So you say the Wii sold more because of price, but refuse to acknowledge that the ps4 is selling more because of price. Your fanboy is showing Heavy. Why you have 8 bubbles, with all the trolling you do, is a testament to how warped the reality is on N4G.
Price is the only advantage the ps4 has over the X1. The X1 offers more features and better versions of features both consoles share. I fully expect the X1 to pass the ps4 in NA, probably after a price drop. I disagree with this article regarding hardcore gamers being the majority of sales for a console. The Wii handily kicked both the ps3 and 360 asses in sales and it is considered a casual console. The X1 is oriented towards family entertainment and hardcore gaming. Once the X1 hits the swe...
Looks like MS is making strides in cloud computing. Look forward to seeing these advances come to the X1.
@ superbhoy
Apparently it does exist, I just watched proof.I think its just wishful thinking on your part.edit- nice stealth edit
@Army of Darkness
Something tells me you would move the goal posts again when we start seeing the cloud perform in a game. Which we will, its inevitable.
No, just no. Pure scare tactic to get hits.
I don't have much trouble with Second Assault and China Rising, but Naval Strike is near unplayable.
It seems every site wants to capitalize over the trouble at sony.
I disagree. 11-12 hours for a jrpg is short. I do like the art style though.
@Lukas_Japonicus
Good grief Lukas Japonicus, hes just saying he likes Ryse, and was hoping for a Ryse 2 done in DX12. He didn't say anything to you. Whats your problem?
Nothing wrong with nice graphics, Im sure we can all agree on that. Gameplay can grow though. Just look at Killzone on the ps2(yes the original). It sucked ass. Or Assassins Creed(yes the original), it wasn't that great,and got mixed reviews just like Ryse . Gameplay can evolve.
