Forums - Gaming - PS4 is more powerful than Xbox One on paper – but Microsoft will catch up, says Avalanche Studios

The PS3 was more powerful on paper too but most multiplatform games runs best on Xbox360.



Things I like: Magic-Alchemist - The magic iPhone, Android and browser game:

Yeah, but this time the PS3 wasnt made to bottleneck. Their specs are close to the Xbox one but a little bit better. Doesn't hurt to have the DDR5 Ram either.

The PS4 uses cloud tech as well. Hes definitely talking about the entertainment features and the importance of being online, not what really matters.LOL

Sony spent 380 mil $ on Gaikai, MS spent 400 mil $ on fantasy football.


Hmm, if they spent $400 million on "fantasy football," how much do you think they invested in cloud?

 

Answer. They're the biggest cloud computing in the world.

I don't really like the term "Cloud-Gaming or storage" just putting it out there.

"Second (and this is a bit more crazy), developers can offload computational tasks to the cloud instead of relying on physical hardware to do the heavy lifting. Necessary game computations for physics, rendering, and the like could be immensely enhanced with a connection to powerful virtual servers in the cloud."

Microsofts azure cloud business is one the best things they have going for them. Its not just a gaming thing, but a huge part of their business. They have been building it up for a awhile. Being able to use it for xbone is a great thing.

I wouldn't say they are the biggest yet. I think Amazon Cloud services currently beats them out. But MS has been making a lot of moves in the cloud service area, all over the world.

Oh yes, Amazon is big at clouding, definitely!

Not the same thing. It's apples and oranges. Actually it's apples and airplanes

Nooo! An positive developer!


Yes, indeed he talks like a mature adult, for a change. I guess we can never expect that from FISH (Watch Indie Gamer - The movie), but this Avalanche dude is right, they are new, cool and powerful consoles, and they sure will do their jobs: blow our minds, just like the 360 with their Haloes, Alan Wakes and Gears and the PS3 with their UNCHARTEDS, Killzones and Little Big Planets.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

When it comes to cloud Google is where it's at and since oct of 12 they have over a million servers.

With my experience from using gaikai on a 6mbit connection I gotta say that it was actually working pretty ok. Graphics were similar to the ps3 version of the game and input lag wasn't bad at all.

Gaikai has also been proven to be better than onlive as well and Sony did good buying them for the Future of PlayStation.
