When it comes to games, i dont know how you can say xbox one is the only one tha feels next gen when PS4 is the one to provide the best version of each multiplatform and the most impressive exclusives ( sorry, Ryse is beautiful but corridor 8x8 with bad physic/animation/ia is not that impressive )


The difference is visually clear, you cant miss it with so much aliasing, PS4 really feels much more next gen in BF4, Black Flag and COD, thanks to awful microsoft upscal that increase the aliasing effect and crush the black : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=722069 ( i'll make a thread about this if not old, it's a shame, even dead rising 3 is awful to watch with crushed black)


This crushed black bs is only showing up on capture cards or improperly calibrated TVs. I have Killer Instinct and BF4 and there are no crushed blacks. I went over to my friends house yesterday and he was playing Dead Rising 3 and once again no crushed blacks.

WTF? That is insane. I thought the WiiU was ludicrous. Hopefully they can get that down with patches like Nintendo did.


I've booted up my Xbox One exactly one time and that was when I first set it up and removed it from the box. The console shuts down in sleep mode after that. To turn it completely off you would have to change it in settings I imagine. From sleep mode it takes about 5 seconds to resume. Nobody should be shutting down their Xbox every single time after playing.

It has nothing to do with TV settings or capture cards( or so make an offscreen capture to show what you describe on KI or Dead Rising), i have the same thing on my TV with normal settings,  only on xbox one games, the problem really come from the upscaler, just like the  sharpening filter.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

I stopped reading when it said kinect only works 50% of the time. It works amazingly well, I've been using it all weekend long and have only had to repeat like 3 commands. You don't even need to speak loud or slowly either, it picks up everything. And before anyone says "well maybe it works in english".....I live in Germany, I'm using the german commands (reluctantly so, I might add). No idea how on earth they tested it to get such a bad percentage. Kinect is amazing, and navigating with it is super fast and super easy

why reluctantly?

Sounds fair. Atm i wouldn't buy any of them, but i will get the PS4 someday.

Phew, cool, that makes sense. I was really wondering which century I'm in ;)

With 15 - 20 W in stand-by? No, thanks. That's just as much as my notebook needs - while it's running! It's ridiculous. I won't use stand-by until the power consumption has been drastically lowered. For both the PS4 and the X1.

 

Edit: whoops, wrong quote. Can't edit right now, I'm using my phone. But you get the whole idea.

20w * 24 h/d * 365d * 26cent/kwh=~45euros a year for standby. so now ask again why anyone should turn off the console.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

(sorry, my phone has issues with the quoting here)
Reluctantly, because even though I'm German, I actually grew up in the US and prefer speaking English. Unfortunately the way it works right now is that the Kinect voice commands are tied to region you're using in your settings. This is actually really easy to change this time around since they want you to be able to access every region's store, but it's still rather annoying since using the German store (and I have to assume, servers that are actually close to me) I pretty much have to use Germany as my region most of the time.

Germany is pro sony. No reason
