Microsoft's Xbox One ad lists 1080p/60, Adaptive A.I and Exclusive DLCs in Bulletpoints

Microsoft just launched a new ad on their website. This ad has apparently focused on some of the highlights for Xbox One. Some of these points include "Support for 1080p/60fps for Cinematic Realism", Adaptive A.I and Exclusive DLCs for FIFA 14, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Battlefield 4.

1OddWorld4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

Upscaled 1080p and 60fps every now and again.

When you think next gen "please" look no further than the XBOne, because you might just find it.

Fireseed4287d ago

Just wanna point out something here. You have all completely lost what it means to play video games. You can all keep counting your pixels, meanwhile I'll beat the hell out of a ice alien as a werewolf. Or repel a barbarian invasion on Rome. Concept and game play trump all.

GiggMan4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

They could have easily just said HD gaming but they specifically said 1080P 60fps...

You can still "beat the hell out of a ice alien" but you won't be doing it in 1080P 60FPS like Microsoft is trying to insinuate...

thekhurg4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

I'll play some free to play titles on launch day, deal with the Helghast, check out some great Indie games (especially the free ones), and participate in some social-inspired racing.

Oh and I won't be compromising graphics as much, but still having a lot of fun.

gaelic_laoch4287d ago

M$ were the first to lose sight of what gaming was about this upcoming gen by allowing their marketing team stick a dollar sign on every feature their device has!

Pogmathoin4287d ago

Fireseed, its better to pause the game and count polygons and resolution than it is to play the game, otherwise, what can you brag about?

BlackTar1874287d ago

Fireseed ,

i;m not blaming you but i am blaming the american media for turning video games into Comparison bragging rights.

All you have to do is compare the list of people who would gloat about 1 less screen tear to the list of people now saying its not that important to get a real feel for the hypocrisy on this site.

I still hold a grudge with the Ghostbusters debacle. That game was awesome and fun and got slandered thru the media and ended up costing it sales for sure. Ill never forget that one had a great time playing it but all you read about was slander and hate form the media for a month after its release.

DeadManIV4287d ago

And I will enjoy the offerings of Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and Sony Santa Monica, as well as Killzone and The Order. I love a good story.

cell9894287d ago

the times have changed, you cant get lazy with graphics anymore ala COD. High quality games now offer amazing gameplay, top notch gfx, and awesome story see The Last Of Us. Why constrict yourself to one side of the coin when you can have both

1OddWorld4287d ago

@Fireseed

You didn't exactly disagree with my statement. You just said gaming is the only thing that matters. Now I ask you who has the better gaming track record? Sony or Microsoft.

christocolus4287d ago

@fireseed
Will you be getting dr3 and ryse? Will definitly be playing co-op and multiplayer...eagerly waiting for halo5 and titanfall too...those games will cause a war on xbx live..ms had better get xbx live super ready for the launch of those games...and yaaay no more jerks

XtraTrstrL4287d ago

Then why even upgrade to a new console? They're still making games with great concepts and gameplay for current gen for a few more years. Going by your logic, there's no reason to even get a next gen system then.

hellzsupernova4287d ago

I lead that invasion in total war :)
But I agree I hate how everything is about power and frames and crap that doesn't matter
Guess what matters the games end of story. And I'm a bit of a playstation fanboy and avid pc gamer. but I won't put down people for wanting or buying or playing another console.

Bimkoblerutso4287d ago

@1OddWorld

I think the point is that it doesn't really matter who has the BETTER track record (if something like that could even be objectively proven in the first place).

All of the "big three" have made incredible, industry-defining games over the years, whether it be for pushing polygons or an incredible story or just damn fun gameplay.

Brand loyalty is a completely irrational and erroneous behavior in an industry that has so much more to offer than what is offered on a single console.

JokesOnYou4287d ago

Name which one of these bullet points dont exist at launch? Right, all of them do and will be only more prevelant throughout the life cycle of the platform.= Non story specifically created for n4g.

PsylentKiller4287d ago

@DeadManIV

I completely forgot about Media Molecule. Once they drop there game or ND drops theirs, I'll be picking up a PS4. For now I will stick with Ryse and DR3.

4287d ago
DigitalRaptor4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

You're saying this like it's an old thing.

The same was happening this entire gen on the side of the 360 fanboys. Lens of Truth, pixel counting etc etc. It doesn't matter, as all the things the fanboys were saying about this gen have reversed and the same fanboys are changing their tune, pretending things they bragged about are not so important anymore - like they always do.

nukeitall4287d ago

If I wanted the best visual fidelity that money can buy, I would buy a PC. No console can touch PC, even with next generation consoles compared to PCs right now!

I buy consoles because I like the ease of use, the features and the exclusives. In that regard, instant switching, interactive TV, side by side gaming, smart matchmaking and Kinect makes my choice really easy. Top it off with games like Titanfalls, Ryse, Quantum Break, and Project Spark, and there is no question Xbox One is my first choice.

I still have PS4 on preorder though. Preordered the first day it was available, but other than KZ I don't see why I would want to keep it. Maybe I should just wait or sell the PS4.

LonChaneyTV4287d ago

It says they support 1080p 60fps, for games like Forza 5.

Resolution and framerate is still up to developers, always been this way for consoles.

Crazay4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

That's true fireseed....I think Nintendo proved (surprised even)that to every single one of us with the Wii.

thechosenone4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

And I'm sure you'd be saying the same thing if it was the PS4 that couldn't do 1080p/60fps, right? Yeah right...

ForgivenZombie4286d ago

Exactly, also wait for 2nd and 3rd batch of games to see the consoles and what they're capable of.

TrollCraftTales4286d ago

@cell989
Most people would rather have both sides of the coin (Good Graphics and Good Gameplay) But if we were forced to choose one side or the other, I am sure most people would choose gameplay over graphics...

Hitman07694286d ago

@Fireseed Comment of the century.

jmc88884286d ago

Since when is 'gameplay' a reason it's ok to lie on your advertising?

It is a lie. Oh I know that legally it isn't a lie. But we all know what misinformation they are trying to wrongly place in people's heads....

That Xbox One will be a 1080p/60 machine, which is so isn't.

I don't even consider the PS4 that. But it's a hell of a lot closer, and actually will be having games come out this year that is 1080p/60 in some form or fashion.

Also power affects gameplay. You get better concepts and better ability to translate those into gameplay with more power.

Thus yes, power matters. Especially when the more expensive media machine has less power for gaming.

Pogmathoin4286d ago

Oddworld... Fireseed is talking about gaming, understand? He does not care about either company.... Understand? Thats hard to understand for some fanboys...

Army_of_Darkness4286d ago

Good lordie!!! 300,000 servers!?!? Sign me up ms and upscale me to 1080p pllllleeeease :-P

AbortMission4286d ago

Ryse is a trash game. Let's not pretend it's incredible simply because you're an Xbox fan (boy) lmfao

minimur124286d ago

I don't want to play the fanboy here, but I'm going to have to negatise a bit of this:
-Next Gen graphics :1080p/60fps - On select games
-Adaptive AI - From what it seems, Forza only.
-Your Choice: Buy trade sell etc. - REALLY listed as a feature?
-300,000 servers - How many of which are digital?
-The whole games plus entertainment section - at a cost of $60 a year. I can't believe services like Skype, nextflix are behind a paywall. Nearly everything is on X-1
-Game DVR - 5 minutes only, 3x less that PS4
-Next generation LIVE - wtf is this? every service always gets regular update, what MS are'nt updated live currently because theyre saving the updates for One. So they have multiple updates ready probably for the next few months/years

sorry, but most of this is the sort of thing that if you don't use your mind, it seems cool, but if you actually think about this, it's pathetic

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4286d ago

B-b-b-b-but Fireseed! All the cool kids on the internet are telling me that we're playing ROPS and FLOPS and RAMS!!!

ACE this!

I agree with you man. I blame hipsters and their stupid ways!

Deadpoolio4286d ago

It's no different than the moronic Xbots who beat their drums like Micro$haft about TIMED exclusive DLC...Again TIMED.....Most people don't care about waiting 30 days to get map packs.....

Meanwhile the exclusive things Sony gets generally stay EXCLUSIVE

quenomamen4286d ago

Yea, u still playing NES contra on a 15 inch color tube TV ? Bet your not even buying a next gen console right ?

FamilyGuy4286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

It's a pretty nice ad, highlights many of the X1 features to entice people to buy it. It's exactly what the ad should be showing. They only have one title confirmed to be 1080p 60fps so they better get their act together and have more games at that level before they get sued for false advertisement. LOL, They had to add selling trading and playing used games as a "feature" because there are some people that still think they're blocking those things. Not everyone is as informed as a N4G reader, I had a buddy at work that didn't know.

I hope Sony post a similar list of all their features, from all the things I've read and heard about on here Sonys list would be huge in comparison to MSs but it's really all about the features you want, not just the quantity and for me Sony has both those aspects in check.

DragonKnight4286d ago

I love the fallacy of those trying to negate Fireseed's point by saying "then why are you getting a next gen console?" or "i bet you're still playing NES on a CRTV then right?"

Fireseed's point is valid even if he had the absolute best possible PC in the world. A new gen doesn't just mean upgraded graphics, it also means new games. Gamers these days are far too narrow minded.

Graphics are literally the most superficial aspect of games and many of you are just "judging a book by its cover."

bednet4286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

Unfortunately, performance is not only linked to pixels, it's AI, physics, size of environments, quality of textures (which drives immersion), facial details (again immersion), number of entities on screen, particles, environment destructiveness.

Performance affects gameplay and game designers cannot overlook available performance when making design decision.

Docknoss4286d ago

boneso824286d ago

BuLLDoG9094286d ago

@Fireseed, no its MS who have completely lost what it means to play video games, with their entertainment box, trying to buy up 3rd partys so no other platform can experience them, instead of investing in their own 1st party studios.

MS, the company who this generation threatened any 3rd party to not dare release a game that performed better on ps3, or else it would not be allowed to release on the 360. And they were only in the position to even make them threats due to their big market share with the 360.
Im betting their not going to be in that position of authority with the xb1 this generation thankfully =]

Sono4214286d ago

Microsoft being deceiving?

No way.. i'm in shock :o <- My shock face

I mean cmon this is a trademark thing for Microsoft if they didn't lie to you or try to deceive you they wouldn't be Microsoft, there should really be a meme about them already, they could easily be the new scumbag steve.. but instead maybe moneywhore microsoft? i'm sure something more creative can be thought up...

only ONE game has 1080p/60fps and that is a racing game with static backgrounds

and Microsoft wonder why they are ridiculed and the joke of the gaming industry right now

they make it to easy

MikeNike3104287d ago

Yeah forza 5s backgrounds do look a little cartoonish but the car models look amazing. I guess early on in the life cycle of a console you will have to make some comprimises. You can barely tell when your traveling over 100mph though.

tigertom534287d ago

their is a lot going on in the background when i saw the game, smoke, sandstorms, birds, helicopters and am sure their will be alot more in different tracks and most games do have static background..

Kingthrash3604287d ago

yeah most ps3/360 racing games have static backrounds....but are we comparing 360 to x1...nope...static backrounds are shameful for the hardware its built on.

Bigpappy4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

I done get what you people were expecting to see in the backgrounds of a RACING game. Should there be deer hunting or trees blowing around?

I am not getting this new spin at all. What is clear, is that the games looks sounds and plays better than any other racer shown so far (all at 1080p 60fps). Not sure what else it needs to be a great racing game.

Holy mother of deceptive advertising. For me, its all about being informed enough to make sure that I spend my money wisely. I just can't justify paying more money when I can get most of the same games, and better tech for a lower price. I don't want Xbox to fail, but I feel bad because in order for it to keep up, a lot of people HAVE to be deceived or willfully ignorant.

UnHoly_One4287d ago

Maybe I want an Xbox One because with the exception of a few system specs, it does EVERYTHING ELSE better than Sony.

Eonjay4287d ago

@Unholy_One

You are fooling yourself and nobody is buying it. Just like most people here, you probably work hard for your money so yes you have the right to do whatever the hell you want. But have some self respect. You know you are being sold deception in this advert and still you defend it. What has Microsoft done for you to make you so willing to accept less and pay more? Respect yourself.

Microsoft doesn't give a damn about keeping their promise of 1080P 60FPS and you know it. You owe them nothing.

Software_Lover4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

Ignorant if they want to play Halo? Or ignorant if they want to play forza? Oh I got it I got it. They are ignorant to purchase the console if they want to play ryse.

I think its pretty ignorant to get an Xbox if you want to play infamous or killzone. I think its ignorant to buy a playstation if you want to play project spark or other games above.

Never ignorant to buy a console for the games you want to play.

BlackTar1874287d ago

Eonjay4287d ago

@Software_Lover... thats fine. Be honest about it then. Don't act like Microsoft is giving you some sort of deal here.

Just say I like Halo and thats why I'm getting an Xbox. Don't pretend for one minute that you are getting a capable console that is somehow superior to anything.

I can tell you right now, if the Xbox was technically more powerful than the PS4 AND cheaper, I would be giving Sony the middle finger. I owe them nothing.

Kayant4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

Ahhh we're on a similar page ;)

Like here ---> http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/x...

To quote MS - " In addition to Xbox One’s revolutionary architecture, the combination of its CPU, GPU and ESRAM is like having a supercomputer in your living room."

MS really a "Supercomputer". That's a bit excessive because we know they are only referring to the ESram's bandwidth. Also modern day mid-range to high-end gpus alone have that kind of bandwidth.

So what MS is trying to say in their own words is that having an XB1 in my house is like having a Personal Titan supercomputer. Right.... --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

AceBlazer134287d ago

Everyone has their right to choose which ever console, but don't try to make the ps4 look inferior just to make your choice sit right with you, especially when the ps4 is obviously better.

I guess it has better ram? Seriously wtf "better rame" you dont know jack sheet if you simply say better RAM and it sounds like your jsut taking that of what ither people are saying.

better first party developers working on it? What do you consider "better" some people may prefer dead rising or Ryse over KIllzone or the order etc... Thats personal opinion.

better price? True

better reveal to the world? Marketing has nothing to do with how good a system is.

a company that has a great track record for first party games? Forza, halo, deadrising (now), sure they are not as good as Sony's or Nintendos but you and I made the same point above its personal preference (I do prefer sonys though just saying)

better rechargeable controllers? True

better stood upright? WTF who cares which console can stand upright the best.

better online features? We don't really know yet but SONY's is shaping up to better.

better Netflix and other apps accessible without a pay wall? True

better indie support? nope . Both have good indie support weatehr you like it or not.

better results in gaming polls? Doesnt mean JACK.
If you did the poll on the XBOX forums it would be the otherway around(selective groupings and also people who enjoy one thing may specifcally like the PS4 where the poll was taken)

better PR team behind it? PR team wont affect your experience.

Docknoss4286d ago

When you think next gen please look past 1080p and 60fps, sony promised them standard last gen. Oh and PC has been doing it since...well...forever

Now let the hypocrites strike...that's right, graphics only matter when comparing Xbox to Ps.

It only matters because PC is more expensive than both and xbone is more expensive than the ps4, yet weaker.

specialguest4286d ago

@irish

exactly. They boast about having superior graphics, but completely change their tune when pc is mentioned. And too think they call pc gamers elitist and graphics whores lol. Seems like these Sony console boys are the real ruthless ones when it comes to comparing specs and graphics.

It was only a yr ago when they said 1080p made little difference and 60 fps didn't matter. Some even claimed with the false cliche fact that the human eye can't detect 60fps. Flash forward to today and now 1080p and 60fps is all the rage lol. Suddenly what pc gamers have experienced for yrs and console gamers said made no difference is the pinnacle of graphics and power.

jmc88884286d ago

People that game on ANY console and not PC were saying those things @specialguest.

Not all of them. Those that were ignorant.

Then they all saw the concept games of the Wii U, PS4, Xbox One and suddenly all these years claiming PS3 and Xbox 360 games looked better then any PC game went out the window. Well some fools STILL think TLOU or Halo 3 are better then any PC game. Talk about looney tunes.

Suddenly their console of choice had games that looked as good or worse then PC's (mostly worse) and suddenly there was this big gap....that had already existed with PC's for many years, but was willed away to not exist up to that point.

I like gaming on consoles and computers. I know corporations aren't there for my benefit. Therefore when they do right or wrong...when the make correct or incorrect decisions...when they tell the truth or lie out their butt...I call them or praise them on it.

insomnium24286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

Yes absolutely. Sony PROMISED that every game will be 1080p and 60fps. They also TOLD people to have a second job to buy PS3.

Mystogan4287d ago

Forza 5 is native 1080p 60Fps.
And I'm pretty sure all first party games will be like that.
They already announced that Halo 5 will be 60fps.

ziggurcat4286d ago

Greenberg said all xbone games are upscaled to 1080p, so no.

And none of the other first party titles, so far, are close to 1080p.

Considering the misinformation MS has shovelled in our direction so far, I wouldn't count on halo being 60fps. It could happen, but until we actually see gameplay footage, it's all hearsay.

ziggurcat4286d ago

that means nothing when an official statement from a MS rep says *all* games are upscaled. he did say forza was native 1080p in the same tweet, but completely contradicted that statement by saying all games were upscaled in the same breath. so what's the truth in this case? if some games are native 1080p, that's great, but clarify it by saying that some games are native, while some of them are upscaled.

the fact that he said *all* games indicates, to me, that there are no xbone games at native 1080p because how could there be any native 1080p games if they're all, as he stated, upscaled?

NewZealander4287d ago

Chevalier4286d ago

@Dmitrijs88

Exactly they are just bending the truth. Like when they said Xbox One was selling out everywhere I had a good laugh, my store 'sold out' at 30 whole units when I had close to 200 preorders for ps4 already (currently 325 ps4 preorders vs. 52 xbox one preorders.)

Are you really going to believe microsoft because they say something? Remember when they told you that you didn't need HDMI to enjoy HD gaming? That you didn't need blurays, but, now decided they're going to include it? PS3 did everything and all the 360 fans were saying PS3 wasn't good for gaming only as a media centre and now all of them are like "Look at all these awesome features on Xbox One". Indies were cool on xbox live, but, now PS4 has more indie games and now they're saying PS4 only has indies?

Heck PS3 has a ton of games and 360 has next to nothing and now everyone is like look at all the games that are coming to xbox one just because they ran out of exclusives on 360 they're jumping into we got more games on xbox one. MS has such a great track record supporting gamers throughout the whole life of the system. Until it's proven otherwise exactly how can you trust MS? Considering how they wanted to screw you guys and still do where is this new found faith in them coming from?

Mystogan4286d ago

Why should we trust Sony instead?

They told us that the PS3 can run games at 120FPS.
http://www.tomshardware.com...

They told us to get a decent job if we want the $600 PS3.
The PSN service was hacked multiple times with thousands of credit card information stolen each time.
The PSN service went down for a month.

Quick to forget when it comes to Sony huh?

So why should I trust Sony any more than Microsoft?

tordavis4286d ago

Every game will upscale to 1080p and a lot will run at 60fps. Nothing in that ad is incorrect.

DoubleM704286d ago

Like these mofo can tell if something has been upscaled to 1080p or running 1080p native. Microsoft needs to stop being open with the public. Most of these fanboys wouldn't have known unless Microsoft wouldn't have open their mouths and told them everything is not running native 1080P.

OH BTW...The same for PS4 everything is not running native 1080P. Nobody not making a big deal out of that. I don't hear none of the fanboys complaining to Sony about their games not running native 1080P. Just get off of it. Enjoy your games.

solar4286d ago

there is no difference between this and Sony claiming the PS4 is a "Supercharged PC". its all hot air to over hype their product

tee_bag2424286d ago

Wow, so many children fanboys posting here. Its pretty clear that you parents only let you buy 1 console.

otherZinc4286d ago

There's only *ONE* next gen console that has a game that does both:
1080p "native" @ 60fps
AND, that game is...

Forza Motorsport 5 on XBOX ONE!

Period!

UncleGermrod4286d ago

Upscaled depending on the game. The system is capable of 1080p/60 frames, so why not advertise it? I think this is my last post here. I thought i would start getting involved with the "community" a little more and talk games. Instead it's full of the same stereotype gamers should want to distance themselves from: a bunch of whiny little kids who fight over graphics cards, and whose game is better, and who would win in a fight- MS or Sony. C'mon everyone, grow up.

I'll be on here reading articles but i sure won't get involved with the community.

Come Nov. 22 whatever the fanboys say won't affect my opinion.

And if your a real gamer, and a hard worker...then you will just get both (even if it means you have to wait for one).

Seriously think about how this fanboy nonsense all sounds and ask yourself if you really want to be reduced to a video game sterotype

BallsEye4286d ago

The F is wrong with you? It says clearly SUPPORTS 1080p/60 FPS. Not that every game will have it. You think other consoles will run everything 1080p /60fps? Stop with the nonesense. btw 1080p without AA and bad pixel quality is just pointless, looks worse than 900p, way worse.

"1080p/60fps for Cinematic Realism" lol except Forza the others games doesn't seems to have cinematic realism.

pop_tarts4286d ago

And the main reason Forza looks somewhat decent "the new snow track didn't look to hot" is because they dont have many things that are graphics heavey 1.Day/Night cycle 2. weather 3. A variety of features (different type of trees for example) on the same track. Compare that to DriveClub, which isn't the same type of game but GT isn't out for PS4 yet. and you'll see the difference that's why DriveClub is trying to reach 60 because it's 1080p with massive detailed world and Day/Night cycle

showtimefolks4286d ago

Still no day and and night cycles

Pop-tarts

You are spot on my friend but fanboys don't see that GT6 is achieving more on current console that forza is trying to offer on next gen

GT6 will out sell forza by a huge margin
Also people are sleeping on drive club, evolution studios have made a name for them self and I see DC doing quite well

hmmmmmmmmmmm only one of their games does that http://funny-pictures-blog.... .

ABeastNamedTariq4287d ago

Killzone's multiplayer, DriveClub (well, for now it's 1080p, they're targeting 60 frames), Resogun, maybe Infamous, and others I'm probably forgetting. Native 1080p, all that stuff, you know.

But why bring up PS4?

Kayant4287d ago

Driveclub - 1080/30fps
KZ:SF - 1080p/30fps in SP 60fps "at most times"
Knack - 1080p/ unsure of framerate

Indies

Resogun -1080p/60fps

Irishguy954287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

Em...Resogun...Killzone tries it. Resogun doesn't count though. I'd say it's likely that Forza won't get 60fps locked either though, same with Killzone multi. Let them try.

Funny though, people are gonna call MS on this, when Sony put 1080p on their Ps3 box. At least MS will able to consistently release games that are actually that res and FPS. Not just 1 or 2 at the start of the gen. Forza is actually a game that is actively trying 1080p at 60FPS. Indies don't really count as they can hit those easy, just like alot of indie PC games. Comparing Resogun to Killzone or Forza is quite pathetic

Edit-
Yes BAWSE, why the hell would you count a little indie game like Resogun? Those games are always leniant compared to the likes of Forza and Killzone. It would be utterly pathetic if something like Resogun did not release @ 1080p/60FPS

Kingthrash3604287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

i thought kz was 60fps mp 60fps(unless everybody throws a gernade at the same time)
maybe im wrong but i know all are 1080...but it matters not...its not sony putting out ads to the public its MS

Xsilver4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

Deep Down 1080p 60fps
KZSF 1080p 30SP 60fps MUltiplayer only drops if u do something crazy
DriveCLub 1080p 30fps as of right now
Knack 1080p idk fps yet
Infamous 1080p idk fps yet
Resogun 1080p 60fps
Notice all are 1080p native i can't find info on some but u get the picture. see how they always bring up the PS4 like they made an ad like MS did when only one of their games is 1080p and 60fps smh.

kickerz4286d ago

@ abeast .. "Why bring up PS4" LMFAO yeah why the hell does every Xbox comment section have people bringing up pS4 is better bla bla bla BS. Oh I forgot most of u lot are like annoying 10yr old school kids who have nothing intelligent to say.

pop_tarts4286d ago

@Irishguy95

There's nothing special about KI and yet it can't even hit 1080p/60fps it's a downloadable "free to play" game but on the other hand Deep Down can hit 1080p/60fps. Resogun may be an indie game but it is definitely graphics intensive so saying it should be able to hit 1080p/60 easily is like saying Knack should hit 1080p/60 it depends on how much the devs wants to show us and if they want to be flashy they better make sure everything is on point to make it flashy or suffer lower res or lower framerates.

BallsEye4286d ago (Edited 4286d ago )

Can't judge a system by its first batch of games. They're usually rushed and dev kits are in premature stages. Give the developers some time to get the hang of the hardware.

Rainstorm814287d ago

Exactly

Compare Halo 3 to Halo Reach or Halo 4....and Halo 3 isnt even a Launch game

..Or Resistance:FoM to Killzone 2 let alone 3..or Uncharted DF to Last of Us

These Devs get better as time goes and launch games normally dont show us even half of these consoles capabilities

A pissing contest over launch games graphics is laughable....Gameplay is whats most important,

Legacy2124287d ago

you want to show me a link that says dead rising is 720p? or do you just want to spout jargon and misdirection

Magicite4287d ago

things may change until launch

dethpuck4286d ago

who cares. They will probably all be upscaled to 1080p. Did I ever not play uncharted or mlb the show, or any resistance because they weren't 1080p? no. If you just want to play the games you like, no of this stuff matters.

Xbox has the infrastructure of xbox live, and my friends. I will eventually have a PS4, but nothing at launch is grabbing me. second Son looks excellent, but by then titanfall will be out.

GiggMan4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

I agree. Especially if you shell out more for a 1080P television you are going to want 1080P content.

The only products available for your TV with 1080P content are blu-rays and according to Microsoft, Xbox One games.

I think that's shady advertising myself.

Wikkid6664287d ago

Legacy2124287d ago

-_- bad decision i didnt know playing the games i want to play is a bad decision. Sorry knack and drive club dont interest me. i beat killzone 2 and 3 and can say that shadow fall doesnt interest me as much as titan fall. Sorry for having an opinion different then most of these fan boys. Resogun is an arcade game like super star dust which doesnt interest me. The amount of hours i put into gears of war 2 or halo 4 i couldve beaten the last of us 12 times. I beat the last of us AMAZING single player experience one of my fave games this gen but after i beat single player there was nothing to do. dont be ignorant and hate on people for not wanting a ps4. Maybe when naughty dogs new game comes out then ill look into buying it. I never played infamous series so second son doesnt interest me at all.

Rainstorm814287d ago

Then obviously LEGACY he wasnt talking to you specifically, Reading is Fundamental

To say that you've never played Infamous but the new one doesnt interest you at all, then say you are looking forward to Titanfall another game you have never played....Makes you look like a Hypocrite

But I bet you love Prototype and Crackdown huh?

Just say you enjoy Xbox games only...No need to waterboard us with your gripes on good Games

baodeus4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

@eonjay

1. I'm guessing u gonna give both consoles the finger and go for PC instead (it definetly does everything better and more)

2. Even if some how u getting the ps4, I'm thinking u wont support PS Vita TV?

3. Most importantly, did u buy the pS3 or convince people not to buy the ps3, because 99.99% of its content didn't ran at 1080p,120fps,4d as advertised?

Legacy2124287d ago

RainStorm
the comment is bad for me since according to eonjay buying an xbox is a bad decision and make me technically illiterate. I did like prototype and i did like crack down. Now im not talking bad about infamous but if i were to get a ps4 i am too far behind in the series to appreciate infamous second son. Also you cant say i only like xbox games. I have beaten uncharted 1,2,3 GOW 3, MGS 4, Heavy Rain, The last of us, LPB, playstation all stars and resistance 1. Uncharted is one of my favourite game series with Drake being one of the fav Characters. But i can say i prefer xbox exclusives cuz those are the ones i played multiplayer all the time with my friends. I can say when i look at titan fall and when i look at infamous second son i can say im more excited to play titan fall. That is not to say infamous wont be a good game but im more of a multiplayer gamer. It really erks me when i come on n4g and read comments from people trying to conince me im stupid for wanting an xbox one when its all a matter o preference.

hazardman4287d ago

BS!! It just another chance to troll!! Your not helping anyone at all. Most people buying an Xbox One know what they're getting into. Also most early adopters are Xbox 360 players.

I truly don't understand. Are we losing our focus on gaming over graphics and power? I play games with great story and gameplay and fun!! Good graphics just enhances the experience! Shit I was playing Sonic 1 and Streets of Rage 2 and I don't think that 16bit graphics was bothering me one bit!!

Xbox One seems like a great console. I have it pre ordered but will be canceling it soon. There is to many changes going in on in the hardware side and so close to launch. Im gonna wait it out till April and enjoy my PS4 til then. I just wanna see how it goes til then and play it safe!!

CrossingEden4286d ago

I love how everyone is ignoring the fact that AC4 is confirmed to be 1080p and 60fps on next gen consoles, INCLUDING the xbox one. -_-

There's nothing exciting about it to talk about...that's why PS fanboys are all about trying to bash XB1 at any given moment. If they can't look good...make the other guy look bad. For a system that's 50% more powerful, why aren't there more AAA games that consistently hit 1080p 60fps? Why does their Network service get utterly CRUSHED by Xbox Live, so they never want to talk about it...or if they do, it's instantly "teh powa of da cloudz"...like they have no clue what they are talking about, and just want to belittle it with trash talk. It's all see-through. Insecure fanboys that just want the XB1 to fail...then claim they like PS4 cause they are true gamers...but apparently you can only have fun playing games if it's THE best looking game ever (so by their own opinion, if you aren't playing ONLY Last of Us, you're not a true gamer cause everything else looks worse), and isn't upscalled in any way(like they can tell the difference). They are just stupid insecure kids who can't admit that PS4 is not the beast they want it to be.

xKugo4287d ago

We have only 2 of our 14 first party studios that have announced a game for next-gen. Wait until e3 when Xbox gets blown out of the water. You think the same studios that made the best looking and most memorable games of this generation aren't going to be pushing out 1080p/60fps on PS4? Lol, yea ok. Did you see what they did on GOW3, Last of Us and Uncharted 3? That was with 512 mb of RAM. They're going to have at least 5gb to work with, which is 10x more than the ps3 has altogether. When e3 2014 is over and PS4 has something like 20+ games compared to Xbox's 3, then we'll see how you feel then.

A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid.

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I mean, no offense, but this is why you’re not some corporate business person running a major corporation. Big profits don’t mean jobs are safe. Do you understand why things like this happen:

Cutting jobs to maintain or increase profitability, especially in underperforming divisions like parts of Xbox like other gaming divisions.

Corporate restructuring and relocating resources for strategic stability in ever changing markets and consumer behaviors.

Investor expectations and optimizing operations to maintain investor confidence. Whatever boosts stock prices and improves future margins.

And there’s many other factors at play. It’s never as simple as business doing well, everyone’s safe. That’s just you not understanding at all how corporations work and have been working since the beginning. This isn’t something that’s specific to Xbox, you can bet your ass Sony and Nintendo do this and if it’s not clear by now, game development is not a stable job nor has it ever been for many. A lot of developers are contractors and guess what happens when a project is done?

Ganif4d ago

Nintendo said they have no plans for layoffs, and you can't seriously claim that the scale of Sony's layoffs most of which involved Bungie which is self managed as even close to the same scale as what Microsoft has done since they purchased Zenimax. And that significantly less layoffs would have happened if those publishers had stayed independent. Keep in mind that much of these layoffs have been due to redundancies specifically related to these buyouts.

CrimsonWing693d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@Ganif

Nintendo:

https://gamerant.com/ninten...

Sony:

https://gamerant.com/playst...

https://techxplore.com/news...

I don’t think it’s realistic to treat Sony’s layoffs as somehow outside the norm for the industry right now. Even if Bungie is self-managed, Sony’s cuts went far beyond that like Naughty Dog, Insomniac, London Studio being shut down completely, and multiple teams across the globe took hits. These weren’t just minor adjustments.

Nintendo, I had to look up and you’re right. They seem to be an outlier, but rest assured at some point it happens. And even then there’s been layoffs, albeit a smaller amount and contractors.

Would fewer layoffs have happened if studios from acquisitions stayed independent? Maybe. But even independents have been hit hard and look at what’s happened with Embracer’s fallout, or smaller devs like Digic, Roll7, or Volition. This isn’t just a “Microsoft problem” or strictly tied to acquisitions; it’s a broader correction happening across the whole industry, and unfortunately, layoffs are a big part of that process right now.

Ganif3d ago

From your article:

"According to reports, Nintendo of America restructured its testing operations, leading to layoffs of about 120 contractors, part of a strategy for global integration.

Nintendo of America, publisher of iconic franchises like Mario and Zelda, is shifting some contractors to full-time roles for better development integration."

Contractors are not employees, and even if you want to count them as that, it's 120 people vs around 7500 since Microsoft purchased Zenimax.

In an era of game industry layoffs, Nintendo is hiring more people
https://automaton-media.com...

Nintendo Announces 10 Percent Pay Raise For Devs Despite Lower Profits

Nintendo CEO’s refusal to layoff staff goes viral following industry-wide cuts

https://www.nme.com/news/ga...

And as for Sony you're comparing less than 1000 total jobs to an estimated7500

Has the industry faced layoffs, yes, but that still doesn't account for the mass layoffs due to redundancies that was easily predictable, or that fact that at least 1/3 of Microsoft's layoffs and studio closures happened before the industry downturn.

AMD CEO Shares Vision Behind Xbox Partnership and Next-Gen Chip Roadmap

AMD CEO Lisa Su talks about the Xbox AMD partnership, next-gen Ryzen + Radeon chips, and AI rendering tech coming to all Xbox devices.

Read Full Story >>
clouddosage.com
Obscure_Observer8d ago

AMD is really building hype around their unique partnership with Microsoft to help and build an advanced and seamless Xbox ecosystem across all Xbox consoles and devices.

I wonder what she meant by "full roadmap of gaming optimized chips" though? Seems ambitious.

Next year´s Xbox Showcase already looks promising and exciting. Here´s hoping they deliver.

InUrFoxHole8d ago

They had best show 3yrs in a row. Heading for another

VenomUK8d ago

Obscure_Observer said “I wonder what she meant by "full roadmap of gaming optimised chips" though? Seems ambitious.” To me, I interpret this to mean rather than having a couple of X/S products for launch and a handheld there is a longer term plan to release new products with higher specs at timed intervals. I’m speculating of course, but this could mean a spec bump every year or two, so that even if the PS6 or Steam Deck Home is released a year after ‘Xbox’ Microsoft can release an updated model that has a higher spec.

Agent757d ago

But Microsoft forgot the games.

KwietStorm_BLM8d ago

It's X3D chips for console. Everyone knows this. And it's been rumored in the PS6 forever.

Ganif8d ago

Correct.

"Sony's PlayStation 6 reportedly will feature an AMD semi-custom APU with a Zen 5 CPU and UDNA GPU, capable of 4K 120FPS and 8K 60FPS gaming. The console will include X3D cache and advanced AI upscaling technology."

https://www.tweaktown.com/n...

Obscure_Observer7d ago

"It's X3D chips for console. Everyone knows this. And it's been rumored in the PS6 forever."

I doubt that AMD´s CEO would waste her time making this huge and important partnership announcement over a tech that will be 7 years old by the those next gen consoles will be released.

You should have just lead this comment with the fact that you have zero understanding of technology in the consoles and instead have a Toms Hardware online forum level of education.

Very interesting theory. Still not sure how MS would actually make it work.

KwietStorm_BLM7d ago

"I doubt that AMD´s CEO would waste her time making this huge and important partnership announcement over a tech that will be 7 years old by the those next gen consoles will be released."

How old is the tech in consoles? It's not a huge announcement. It's marketing and you know it is.

Obscure_Observer6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

"How old is the tech in consoles? It's not a huge announcement. It's marketing and you know it is."

Dude, what I know for certain is that a tech as old as X3D chips which is actually *older* than both PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, is hardly the reason behind this new partnership between AMD and MS to build new *custom silicon* for next generation of consoles.

And yes it´s a huge announcement since AMD is working closely with MS to co-develop custom SoC which will allow backwards compatibility across all MS´s next gen devices allowing seamless integration between devices and full backwards compatibility across all generations of Xbox consoles.

I also know is that this announcement don´t have anything to do with Playstation and their strategy with AMD for the PS6, so stop comparing the two pretending that you know what´s going on, because you clearly don´t.

If Sony is working on something remotely similar, that´s remain to be seen.

Some odd, deliberate wording, no branding, not 'Xbox consoles, Xbox handhelds' specifically, feels and sounds like they're building towards hardware that anyone can be used or licensed to/by themselves and other manufacturers.

Multiplatform software and hardware 'Xbox/AMD APU'.

I guess you missed Sarah Bond´s next generation Xbox announcement this week, were she clearly states:

"I´m thrilled to share that we´ve established a strategic multi-year partnership with AMD to co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices, including, *our* next generation *Xbox consoles*."

But hey, I don´t think you´re entirely wrong, maybe MS will build their own Xbox consoles while licencing other manufactures to build and sell their own Xbox branded consoles. Who knows

I think you watched the wrong video. It's below the description, or you can watch it directly on YouTube.

The marketing behind this is so heavy that I worry about the actual outcome. Why are they just not showing us the product, why all this talking in market speak?

Lightning778d ago

Probably because the next xbox isn't ready to release yet?

The marketing and rumors seem to be heavy out of no where. The rumor was a 27 release but it maybe it could be 26 new console launch instead.

Who knows.

There PR is alrways super heavy handed. No one is acutally buying an Xbox as is.
Also it is very early to be talking so much about a next gen console.

Obscure_Observer7d ago

There´s a lot of people interested on Xbox Next and its ability to run games from major stores like Steam.

We know that the PS6 is just around the corner as well, but so far, no news on what it might improve over the PS5 or PS5 Pro.

However, Sony already made public that their priority and actual focus is the PS6. So its not "very early" to talk about next gen when the very console manufactures are talking about it.
