So why should I buy the XO? Entertainment system lacks, games look worse, kinect still doesnt work, snap feature sucks (heard that 50hz60hz fail in europe?), games are polluted with microtransactions.

But oh, it recognise me when I hold the controller. Truly a 'system from the future'.


You dont have a clue what you are talking about.  not a clue.

Enterntainment aspects of ONE are far superior to PS4.  Want music? buy music unlimited... its your only option.

Games "look" worse?  subjective.   Once again resolution isnt all.

Kinect works very well indeed

Snap feature is shit hot.  You are confusingit with something else.  Snap isnt just for TV... far from it.

Which games?  Forza?  so is GT6.

Thanks.


Games are looking worse indeed. Check out DF.

Kinect will work after several updates, i´m sure, but apparently it´s broken rigth now or  haven´t you watched the polygon (750.000$) stream?

Watching tv while playing could be nice but doesn´t work in europe well, too.

The CD MP3 DVD  block on ps4  will hopefully be fixed, ok :(

killzone hasn´t got, unlike ryse, any MT.

Thanks.

Shouldn't be using discs in the first place. Physical media is archaic. Going digital the rest of this gen. So it takes me 1 second to switch to another game while you have to get up, open case, grab disc, eject previous disc, insert new disc, put other disc away. Thanks but no thanks physical media needs to die right with Gamestop.

I have way more trouble with Digital than these five seconds to swap a disc starting from downloading 50GB games.


You swap disc in 5 seconds? I would love to see that.

 

And digital has the same feature. you don't have to intall the full thing before you play.

That's not what my ps4 does. I have an orange light in stanby, not white.

That explain everything... you guys are not using the StandBy feature.

When the system is in standby mode, the screen is turned off. You can set the system to perform actions such as download files, or charge the controller from a USB port.
The following methods are available for entering standby mode. When the system enters standby mode, the screen turns off, the power indicator blinks in white, and then the power indicator lights up in orange.
Select (Power) from the function screen, and then select [Enter Standby Mode].
Press and hold the PS button for at least 1 second, and then select [Enter Standby Mode] on the screen that is displayed.
Touch the power button for at least 1 second (until the system beeps).
If there are no checkmarks set in the settings under (Settings) > [Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Standby Mode], the system turns off completely.

To exit standby mode, use a method from "Turning on the power".

To adjust functions available in standby mode, select (Settings) > [Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Standby Mode].

You need to set up what the Standby mode will do too

Kinect works perfectly and isn't broken in any way. Watching streams of people who have been awake for 30+ hours straight and have no idea what the commands are doesn't give you an idea of how it actually works. I use it everyday and haven't had any problems. It literally works 95% of the time first try.

He hits the PS4 button 5 seconds before hitting the Xbox One button. I also don't have to walk to my controller and pick it up to wake my Xbox One. I say Xbox On from anywhere in the house and it is on and ready to go before I sit on the couch. Add in the time it takes to walk to your DS4 and pick it up and the Xbox One demolishes the PS4 wake time. I also can switch between games and apps in less than 1 second by saying Xbox Go To (insert game title).

That's fine.  I'm okay with not paying $100 extra to save two seconds, at most, each time I'd like to turn my PS4 on from standby.  The one time you don't turn the Xbox on until you're  in close proximity to using it removes any of that time you saved by turning it on from the other end of the house.

It's amazing how fast this thread went off topic.

DF is yet another opinion added to the how games look topic so it is subjective like he stated.

you are talking to a person that owns his own game so a stream of someone using it incorrectly wouldn't mean anything.

Xbox one has play and install.  Its clearly not working with certain games very well for some reason?

Hows that standby mode working out?  Far more relevant in my opinion.  This is a one time problem.  Starting up and waiting for every play thereafter is an every time problem.

I can say xbox on and be signed in and playing the game from exactly where I left it off the night before in about 15 seconds.

Standby works fine on PS4... instead wait ~25 seconds from cold boot you it start in ~5s from Standby mode.

I think he's a little confused. He must be referring to the suspend/resume feature that hasn't been patched in yet. But at least we know it's coming. They're stuck with those install times (probably) for the lifetime of the console


Idk, I seriously doubt MS will allow this to continue. The drives are the same speed, so I'm sure it's a software issue and will be patched in. I'd almost bet on it.

Thats funny because my xbox one installs in much quicker time than that. Plus xbox one also does background downloads so i dont what they are talking about.
Keep on trolling
