Well I see the usual faces looking for a negative spin.

Anyhow, I'm just glad MS is making moves to stimulate X1 sales.

I don't care if PS4 is the top selling console of the gen, I just wanna X1 achieve 360 numbers in spite of mistakes.


You dont really have to spin anything to make this negative.

Its an extremely fast pricecut, because theyre getting beaten down hard. It shows they dont have confidence in the exclusive lineup to sell the system without said pricecut. People who got Xbox One at launch for Titanfall could have saved £80(!) by waiting a few Months.

This is desperation. Nothing needs spinning.

399 British Pounds = $663.50 US Dollars. We Americans are still lucky.



I trust no one, not even myself.

This underpowered console is confirmed by developers the new SDK makes 1080p now easily possible on all multiplatfrom games going forward. Parity will be better on 2nd gen games. And we will see what sells better. Titanfall or Infamous.

Parity, your ******** lol fair enough you should get a job as PR rep for Xbox your good at hiding the truth like them lol.

You might wanna edit that, we already have a guy in this thread that was banned for calling selnor this.

Then if that's the case ppl should be banned for stating incorrect facts, you cannot magic away hardware differences that big with magic words.

Incorrect facts? Multiplatform developers are confirming this. Ill listen to them thanks. People making games on both PS4 and Xbox One. Calling the machines comparable now on both systems. And Rebellion confirming they are easily now running in 1080p on Xbox One after the new SDK released to them a few weeks ago.

;)


Really, well let's see the next lot of multiplatform games. Facts talk louder than words and so far all I have seen are xbone games with lower resolution or fps and that's a Fact.

I was actually aiming for a bit of light hearted sarcasm. As in you play an X1 game and if it's 1080p you get an achievement for it because it's so rare. Guess my warped sense of humor missed the mark. Still I only wanted to have a bit of fun because what selnor is going on about 'tiling tech' is not total fantasy but based in reality and fact. Is this this coming to the X1? If so time will tell if it get's it to output consistently at 1080p.  Still the PS4 SDK is not going to stand still, advancements will also be made and a power gap will remain. 

Have you ever wanted the flexibility of gigatexel resources but lamented their massive memory cost? Do GPU memory bandwidth limitations keep you up at night? Well worry no more! With Tiled Resources, Direct3D 11.2 introduces support for hardware virtual resources, allowing the creation of massive textures using minimal memory, and permitting improved bandwidth efficiency. Want to know more? Then attend this talk, where we’ll have a deep dive into the API and its intended usage, and show some very cool demos that take advantage of it!

Goodbye Sony in the UK. Watch this sell a ton!!!!


It is still more expensive than the PS4. DELUSION!



Really. I make PS4 in UK £409.99 with 1 game and NO PS+

And NO TITANFALL.

Funny that, you can pre-order the Infamous bundle for 385  still cheaper. As for selling a ton 400 quid for an underpowered console, stop smoking that funny weed m8, or give me some. 

This underpowered console is confirmed by developers the new SDK makes 1080p now easily possible on all multiplatfrom games going forward. Parity will be better on 2nd gen games. And we will see what sells better. Titanfall or Infamous.

Parity, your delusional lol fair enough you should get a job as PR rep for Xbox your good at hiding the truth like them lol.

You can insult all you want. The only reason we werent getting 1080p was due to 32 mb instead of 64 mb ESRAM. The Developers are saying with the new SDK the new tiling tech a the touch of a button will make 1080p easily done on Xbox One.

Ill listen to developers making multiplats who are saying this since the update this month. Not some internet fanboys. They say Xbox One was hell. Its now relatively easy.

I know of Rebellion games who is making Sniper Elite 3 is saying the gap will shrink because of a new SDK. But do you have a list of the other developers saying this as well?  I can only seem to find several articles citing the same developer on this.

Unforunately the new OXM has an article on Bethesda about the new SDK. And how it makes 1080p easy.

But before that at launch Infinity Ward, Bethesda, Dice all said the SDK was behind PS4 and was the reason 1080p was difficult. So we did know this already. I dont know why this is so hard to believe.

2nd gen games will show this. I suspect from Sunset Overdrive onwards we will have parity in res and frames.

So is that this month's issue? I might pick up a copy and read through it then.

I am kinda stunned, Titanfall should have been Microsofts savior. Right now they reduced the console price with 30 pounds and gave Titanfall for free? Best savior ever.

Germany and France ( among others) are also important territories, Microsoft. Just saying.

They will be doing unless they offer some kind of "Ambassador" plan, like Nintendo did with 3DS after the early cut.

They hyped up the console as being worth the price, with Titanfall coming really soon into the lifecycle. They advertised Titanfall since Day 1. Titanfall has been selling systems since Day 1. Turns out, any Brit could have held off for less than 5 Months and saved £80.

This is screwing over early adopters who wanted Titanfall.
