Huh what are you on about? Expect a release before the end of summer. It's not shelved. And yes I'm confident it'll look better than Forza (Blame the ESRAM)
Yes I have, and the environments aren't impressive at all, aside from the resolution all the assets fit the quality of a PS3/360 game. The cars looks good (aside from the lack of AA) but otherwise the game isn't really up to what you would expect from a 'next gen' racer.
It's not inherently impossible for petes sake. It's the size of the framebuffer that decides. The bigger the pixels the more space they'll take, when passed 32mb makes the eSRAM unable to be used as a framebuffer. BF4 with no AA in 1080p already pushes the size per frame above that.
Edit:
Look at Forza, it's a 1080p game, though it sacrificed much in fidelity and IQ to achieve it. It lacks AA, it uses pre baked lighting, paper cut out people and looks...
Famousmortimer wasn't really an insider, he just knew a few people in the industry that he had more casual talks to. He heard some office gossip and foolishly talked about it on neogaf. Don't be too hard on him. He have dropped some major things before that turned out to be true.
Aren't those two the same persons delusional ramblings? MisterX doesn't know anyone in the industry, none at all, he's just making shit up. There are genuine insiders or leakers though. MisterX is the furthest away from being one.
Northern and Eastern Europe isn't that big markets (I'm Swedish). MS launched in territories they thought of as being important getting a foot hold in, it didn't work out cause Europeans tend to go Sony. The remaining territories won't affect sales in any greater amount. Initial Swedish stock of PS4 couldn't have been more than 10.000, it was probably half that. It was sold out the first day and we have YET TO RECEIVE another shipment. I'm pretty sure it's the same...
That's a bit over the top perhaps but there are some truth to it in that European consumers tend to make more educated purchasing decisions.
@H0RSE
You can't apply that to the whole market. Where I live it haven't been back in stock since November so, yeah, that's that.
Xbox One have already been released in their strongest markets. And they lost even them. Titanfall seemed to have moved some 50.000 new Xbox Ones, which is not a lot. Hardly impressive to outsell a console which is gravely stock deprived. I'd say the end of March will be more interesting.
Lol preferred? You really believe that? MS forced Rare to make Kinect games. MS destroyed one of the greatest game developers of all time.
It's because it is a pipe dream and PR spin. Anyone with some kind of education or understanding in how networks function knows this.
Case and point being how MS sticks the buzzword cloud to all the things you've just counted up. Do you realize how nothing of what you said have anything to do with real time server aided computations? It's been around for at least 20 years in games alone, they just wasn't called a cloud. Storing information on servers or hosti...
Power of the cloud is the dumbest and most disingenuous marketing I've seen. Server sided computations won't ever work this generation; It demands stable internet, bandwidth and that distance to a server is low. MS can't use it seeing how it would alienate so many customers. That's completely ignoring the fact that even in the best of situations off loading calculations to a server to display in real time graphics in conjunction with local hardware haven't been done (probl...
You better hope the development tools improves a hell of a lot or you'll see a game per decade :>
Average age of Playstation users is higher than that of Xbox.
They might be more militant, but I can understand them with how terribly subjective the whole industry is. I don't really think that's the case though really, the Xbox fanboys just don't have very much ammunition with the Xbox One having been a far cry from the 360
Lol what? That's not at all how it is. It will be far from last generation. Never before have two competitors been using such similar architecture (Both use the exact same GPU/CPU architecture). Never before have you been able to DIRECTLY COMPARE the two. Now you can, and you know what? The Playstation 4 just happens to have put more juice in their box. The discrepancy is actually pretty huge, there haven't really been anything like it before. And it does show, this early in the gener...
I'm sorry but no. Don't get suckered in from a trailer which was rendered in a computer and not in real-time by either games consoles.
PC is pretty much the largest platform in Sweden for instance, PC gaming being immensely popular in much of Scandinavia and Sweden in particular.
It wont, his followers are as insane and far away from reality as he is. He's been disproved hundreds of times yet these people still believe him, I honestly don't get it :S
You're correct being careful. Cause even though it surely will help the effects are way to overstated here. One have to realize that the performance of the silicon in the Xbox One as well as the PS4 is static! It can't change!
Also thinking like this is rather silly cause that assumes that the API for the PS4 won't improve at all, which of course is ludicrous. The Xbox One will NEVER be able to close the gap. And right now more than anything it's the small ESR...
If a game looks like it's a generation old in terms of assets it looks outdated.
