8O Dafuq are you talking about. Currently developers are squeezing every last bit of performance the current generation of consoles is capable off.
They look like crap, because you're so used to watching games that your eyes have been adapting to what PC's are capable off. Our current gen is enormously lagging behind on PC, and this is why the games look much worse on our current consoles than on PC.


Um...I'm not a PC gamer... I have an 8 core monster... but that is because i need it for the Non-linear editing software I use for my films...

Though... resolution RARELY has ANYTHING to do with how a game looks... Metroid Other M... absolutely beautiful.
Halo 4... visually breathtaking...
Latest Gears of War Game... GORGEOUS...
720p, 30fps.

They look like crap in comparison to games of the same year and month on the same console...

Odd that the benchmark mods that have been run on a great deal of games don't show that they are squeezing much at all...

And "dafuq" I am talking about is documented studies that show issues with frame rates over 30fps due to the way that the images are rendered and how the brain processes imagery...

Either way, I am sure we can agree that the XB1 is NOT the way to proceed
I wasn't implying you're a PC gamer. I was implying that people who follow video games, don't only watch video games of their own platform.
PC has advanced much more, so that the console versions of games don't look as good as the PC version.
That's why "They look like crap."

When it comes to graphics and beauty, there are two factors : Design and graphic performance.
Games have a great graphic performance but look like s**t because of the design, for instance Halo.
Other games have a low(er) graphic performance but are beautiful because of the design, for instance Ni No Kuni.

My "dafuq are you talking about" response wasn't to the framerate thing. You could be right about that, I have no idea.
It was in response to the performance power utilized by current generations and the 720p/1080p thing.

I am not a fan of what I've seen so far. There's still a lot to be seen, but, I've kind of lost my faith in console gaming as I've been using the PC for gaming more often. Generally speaking, there's more functionality in PC Gaming, and the games are much cheaper. The only reason I see myself ever purchasing a new gen console system again is because some of the LAN goers I know tend to be console gamers and I don't want to be left out of various social gaming events. Then again, I've found myself uninterested in most gaming with consoles, so I probably wouldn't even have much fun. Meh!

How about console exclusives, and having a far wider genre of games to choose from?

90% of PC exclusive games are Western RPG's, MMORPG's, shooters and strategy games.
Not saying that PC gaming sucks, it has great games, but I rather have a bit more variation...

I thought so. The cheering and clapping felt so forced and fake.

It will be interesting to see if Sony will opt out on the pre-owned restriction. On the one hand, this would be a massive PS4 marketing advantage compared to the Xbox One. On the other hand, they risk losing a lot of profits to the second-hand market.

Sony said that the PS4 does give the option to block used games, but that it's up to the publishers whether or not they want to utilize it. They also said they wouldn't use it for the games they publish themselves.
So some of the other publishers might use it, but it's not the standard for every game as opposed to XO.

I am very glad that Microsoft has given me no reason whatsoever to upgrade my 360, and also so many reasons *not* to buy an Xbox One.

So f*****g annoyed, because my favourite game series of all time's next game is a launch title for the Xbox One, and exclusive as well. So, of course, I'll buy it.

Turn out my it won't work on my Tv, no analogue output: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/124272-Xbox-One-Wont-Support-SDTVs

It seem Microsoft don't care anymore anbout PC gaming. http://www.shacknews.com/article/79308/microsoft-wont-cater-to-traditional-desktop-pc-gamers-with-first

At least the Kinect would be coming for PC, which is good news; It is a amazing piece of technology, just misused for games. (It's interesting in robotic, for example.)

Ultimately, it will depend on the quality of the games. If the games are good, I'll want one. Personally, I think the multimedia capabilities they showed look really useful. If it has the games I want, I'll get one. If not, I won't.

The problem with the analogue is that CONGRESS made a law requiring that all broadcasts be made digital... and with entertainment technology heading towards high def exclusively, they don't need to cater to people with analogue tvs...

and drivers exist for the kinect on PC... and MANY hacks are available for it.
