    It was stated that you could turn that off too. You don't have voice commands to turn it on then, but I don't have that now and don't care...........because I have a Logitech Harmony remote anyway.


    You mean the info they already have? Better stop using browsers too.
    No, I don't "like" it, but owning a PS4 or XB1 is hardly the only source they have ability to get at.........I'm pretty sure the items I have registered with ATF puts me on a "hotter" government list anyway compared to them finding out that I play games, buy game content, or am feeding my kids chicken nuggets or fish sticks on a particular night.
    That being said, all that stuff would be turned off if I went the XB1 route.
    Just a joke at CLW being "objective" about the ps4

    Crap did I leave that one out?

    Honestly I don't expect the memory to be an issue with 3rd party titles. Most will probably use the XB1 to make sure they don't do too much to F up the game on it. The only way you'd see a superior quality game is through Sony's exclusives versus the XB1 exclusives/3rd party titles. But the potential is there.

    Really its mostly about the DRM/Used Games that people are most upset about with XB1 v. PS4 (and the price point). You don't seem to care about those issues so the XB1 will likely be fine for you.

    Me I prefer the PS controller and PS exclusives over MS' so it was going to take something really strong from MS to get me to switch. They simply did not deliver IMHO as the "tv" stuff I don't care about. I buy gaming consoles to play games on nothing more nothing less.

    The memory isn't going to be the difference. Sony's just using faster RAM. The CPU that's being used in the consoles is virtually identical, too. The major difference is the graphics chip, and the one Sony is using is said to be 50% more powerful than the one in the Xbox One. You didn't see the difference in games on both systems this generation because they were so close, but this time around you actually might. There's no doubt that their exclusive will look a lot better as well.

    I guess whether or not games look the same again will depend upon whether or not Microsoft requires publishers to sign agreements that their games can't look much better on other systems if they want to released on the Xbox One, much like they did with the 360. That and if developers want to optimize their games for the PS4.

    Used to really like the PS and PS2 controllers. Hated the first XBox one, but later revisions have been fine. Guess I'm in the other boat from you..........trying to find a reason or what it is that would make me switch to PS4 and it is the of the exclusives using all the hardware that seems to be the driving reason. Unfortunately, won't know if that comes to fruition until later down the road.

    Maybe I should buy both.

    And wasn't it true that MS was using high end PC's at E3 to show games, not the XB1.

    It's nothing to be running on developers kits or PCs, but the Xbox One games were reportedly running on custom PCs that were using graphics chips that were a good bit stronger than what will be the Xbox One. Not to mention they were reportedly using NVIDIA chips when the One will ship with an AMD chip.

    From a dev standpoint, that doesn't make much sense and a waste of R&D resources. Not because I'm in the computer industry or anything like that.

    Not if the games are going to be eventually on PC like most Microsoft games are. Show off a really impressive looking game you already have running on PC, make people think the One version looks that good. Honestly, I'll be shocked of games like Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall look that good on the One.

    I agree, OU, as for making the show "showy". Still takes resources to do that stuff that could be doing real work.

    Not if you already have the game developed and ready to go for PC. A lot of Microsoft's games end up on PC, so if they've already got the PC version ready to go, why not show that one (which they reportedly did)? Throw in some impressive hardware, use a One controller, and then you could show a game running on a beefy PC that looks way better than anything anyone will ever see on the One.

    I can't remember the exact NVIDIA card they were reportedly using, but I do know it was a much more powerful card than the one that comes with the Xbox One.

    The thing is that the whole presentation was all about XB1. Was PC ever uttered once in the whole 90 minute show?

    That doesn't mean anything. Look at Titanfall. That game is being developed for the One and for PC. Considering they used hardware that is much more powerful than that in the One, they probably just showed the PC version and let people assume it was game play from the One.

    It was already leaked out by multiple sources that Microsoft was not using development kits, but rather custom PCs that were said to be 2-3 times more powerful than the One. Those were NOT Xbox One games you were seeing. They may be coming to the One, but they sure as hell wont look like that (Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall were the 2 that I immediately thought looked too good to be true).

    Wow I hadn't heard that but it doesn't surprise me. Also best article I've seen yet outlining why MS's DRM is completely different from Steam etc...

    I this generation of systems is missing a great fishing game. Maybe X1 will get a good solid fishing game with a real , perhaps real online MP tournaments and open roam of lakes and streams across the US. Would be a bad ass fishing game.

    I spend countless hours fishing on the Rapala's fishing game on the 360. Just wish it had more options a tad bit better graphics.

    There has also been a lapse in publishing another Mosquito based game. Coincidence?
