Performance
Microsoft's most impressive exclusive launch titles are Ryse: Son of Rome, Forza Motorsport 5 and Dead Rising 3, which all run in 1080p at 60 frames per second.




Sigh. That's terrible journalism when you can't even bother to check your facts before posting it to the public.
oh my god.... why
 
Fuck. I can only get one system this generation and I went with ps4. But now I'm thinking of selling it to a friend and switching over to the xbox. The UI, KI, and Halo are almost too much to handle. If only I knew that the biggest graphical difference will be 50% difference in pixels this entire gen. I really don't want to get stuck with a bad fallout/elder scrolls/ witcher 3/ ect. port and not be able to switch over.

It's like, I like the xbox exclusives, UI, and OS more than Playstations. But I also like good looking games. And some of my favorite games are multiplatform and made by developers developers who have shown questionable quality control (skyrim).

Don't toy with my heart! Really appreciate the developers' output...

Remedy is, alongside 343 industries, the most technically competent MS related (I know, second party vs first party, but whatever) studio. Both Halo 5 and Quantum Break will be contenders for the greatest visuals displayed during 2014...
 
Odds that GAF goes down in an hour and 20 mins?

If both games top Ryse visually....


HOLY FUCK

It won't matter as much as you think it will. Game will look/perform great on both systems.

I'm sure 343 will. It's a shame the gameplay probably won't be very good :(
 
Im pretty nervious for the reviews. I feel like the voice and kinect controls not working could sink the whole thing (in terms of system reviews... and neogaf).

Podcast’s done recording, I’ll get it all proper and it’ll be up on the site at (or shortly after) 9 tonight. This week we talk video games?

And by “video games” I mean “controlling televisions with your voice.” Also: video games.

Just stick with the PS4 since the third party games sound so important to you. I'm not convinced they'll run like shit on the Xbox One like we saw last gen with the PS3, but the PS4 will always edge out the Xbox One in straight up power so the games will always be better.
 
Crimson Dragon has been met with some pretty poor scores but I'm still willing to give it a chance, I love me some rail shooters.

I am holding out till my 2nd wave purchases in December. I anxiously await actual GAF impressions of the game.

I know right! It's so difficult for me too. I love the UI and some other stuff, but I just keep wondering 'why couldn't they make it juuuuust a tad more powerful' : ( I will likely cancel my PS4 order for the time being though and will just wait a few months into the gen to see how it all goes. Happy launch day for everyone!
 
Seems like a fairly simple story to me. PS4 has the edge in raw muscle but it remains to be seen how much of a difference that really makes in games. I expect XB1 to crush PS4 in terms of overall user experience, providing Kinect is no longer totally worthless as promised.

Yeah I suppose. I just wish MS would have shown some halo 5 footage (even though it's a ways out). It would have made the decision a lot easier. I just really wish MS had a beefier console than they do. Even if just by a little bit. Because there is no doubt in my mind that the XB1 is clearly going to be the better multimedia device. And as I get older and game less, that will become more and more important.

Agreed, with what they achieved on the ol' 360 graphically I was impressed. Can't wait for next gen Halo.

Stinkles how is Halo X1 looking in your office HD display(s)? All that Corrine Yu rocket science looking the goods?

:)
I kid, but feel free to drop a screenshot here any time.

Xbox should just take a Corrine wishlist and make the hardware around that. It makes me wonder which developers/designers they did listen to and what sorts of industry wishlist items made it into X1 or PS4. I'd read an in depth article on that for sure.
 
So are we expecting more than just Polygon or will more trickle in as it becomes Wednesday?

Also, is it worth it to pick up Ac4, Nfs Rivals, and a controller from TRU to get $50 in credit and just buy Ryse digitally? Hmmmmm.
