I think it's because the consumers who would complain the loudest don't have any real games to play (launch lineup stinks, IMO) right now. We're also broke. I'm not the only one who has learned the hard-lesson of not being the first-in-line for new technology. Redrings and Yellow lights everywhere.

If I do buy a new console it would likely be by the 3rd iteration of the hardware when the bugs are smoothed out, there are games to play, and it'd likely be too late to complain.

It took a few years before I jumped in to the previous gen of systems, I expect this to be no different.

I think, on some level, I went PS4 because I know it'll get the kind of Japanese support the 'Bone won't

odds are, this will blow up in my face, 360-getting-every-Cave-port style

time to wait for that Phantom Breaker BattleGrounds sequel

Aww, okay. Your "beef" is acknowledged: I'll switch it to "PC is indisputably the best for me personally but not BenRen who prefers the Wii, even taking emulation into account!" so nobody gets confused.

PS4 does have HDCP but Sony said they are going to patch it out after people complained.


Apparently they're patching MP3 and MP4 playback back in as well. And yeah, Sony's been weirdly upfront about "Okay we'll do this" when asked about stuff.

Also re: Xbone, Ars Technica and Kotaku both gave it pretty "meh" reviews, citing that Kinect doesn't work all that great, it assumes a pretty specific living room setup for TV/SPORTS to work correctly, and the games are pretty lackluster unless you've got Dead Rising 3.

Other places are being a little more generous, but it's floating at 8s and 7s.

The only thing that personally raises a red flag from the One reviews going online is that it doesn't passthrough surround sound from the HDMI in port, only stereo

how do you fuck that up, the fucking centerpiece of your multimedia functions

I'm quite literally mindboggled at the notion that surround sound from cable boxes (or, hell, a 360/PS3/PS4/better Blu-ray player) was either too hard or not important enough to make launch

No no no, it's a (beta) option you can enable.

What you cannot enable is Dolby 5.1...stereo or DTS, so your receiver better be fancy enough.

Still seems like an unfair point, tbh...I mean original 360 couldn't do 1080p until a system update made it happen. So I'm sure this stuff can be corrected later.

it's worth noting idolm@ster (btw I cry when I masturbate) is already announced for ps4 and not xbox, the original of which (along with other namco support) was probably the reason 360 had any traction with japanese exclusives

i used to look at the achievements of the people who were top on the leaderboards for 360 cave shmups and almost all of them had at least played idolm@ster (btw I cry when I masturbate) if not completed 1000p of it

It shouldn't be a beta option

the system shouldn't have to re-encode it into DTS

it should either pass the audio through or conform to whatever option is selected in the audio settings

like, it can't even do something that 4, 5, even 6-year old receivers can do. it just seems sloppy, I guess.

edit: oh, the HDMI in port doesn't have HDCP support. that's... odd.

or it does? different outlets getting differing results. hmph.

I think this "ok, we'll do this" attitude is the whole problem here atm … how on earth can they expect anyone to believe media center bs-blabbering when they are leaving out crucial functionality in a (futile? successful?) bid to hype locked down services?


Note that I was always adamant about how you can switch on a console, pop in a disc/cart and have a go at it, and several friends of mine love to make it a point how nowadays you basically can do that on the PC, with better res, same pad, less loading times, cracked no online-bs or system updates, sooo~~~ooo.

So the Xbox One controller looks like an improved Xbox 360 controller. Is it actually better? How's that d-pad? And will it play as friendly with PCs as its predecessor (hopefully able to be used just like one)?

From playing with it at Target. The d-pad is better. However, the triggers feel awful. I don't know about how it'd work with a PC since the logitech f310 and TE stick I currently use will likely last for a while.

It's more "lol BenRen" than anything, really.

I'm kind of with Gironika in that for all their touted "this will be your future media center" hype they haven't really served anything more than half-baked.

Yeah pretty much. For the record though: BenRen, I own a modded Wii and have for a while. In fact the only Nintendo console I don't own is a Wii U.

Pretty much, just without the disc, which as someone who's had his entire game library stolen before, is something I am 100% OK with. Nobody can steal my Steam account. Worst case scenario is someone gets access to it and locks me out, in which case all I have to do to have access to it restored is to make a phone call.

Meanwhile I've got a box I can pipe games to my TV on just like a console. It plays a high percentage of modern games just like either given next-or-current-gen console. It uses any controller I want to plug into it with a USB connection or an adapter that costs like 5 bucks for classic ones. And, it has backwards compatibility all the way back to 1985 or so (admittedly with some fiddling), can emulate any console from the Wii/PS2 on back to the Atari 2600 except with better resolution (if I want), can play practically every arcade game in existence, and you can watch porn on it for free.

PS4's nice too though.

Xbone: no

PS4: yes, but the games have to be programmed to do so, like how Driveclub will support PS3 wheels because Evolution added support themselves

sadly, someone got a 360 fightstick to work on a debug unit during the Xbone tour demos and people got excited. nope, 200 bucks to Mad Catz please

The biggest mistake PC Gaming nerds make is underestimating the amount of fiddling (because they are used to doing it) and overestimating the amount of it most people are willing to put up with (which is nearly none).

I'm mostly PC gaming and in this modern day and age if I need to do anything more to a game other than set the resolution of my screen and maybe the AA/texture main slider setting for it to run in an acceptable way, that game is lost on me.

And that is the thing: for a lot of people out there, even that is too much work to just play a damn game. Having to worry about getting something to run "acceptably" is a foreign concept to people who aren't used to games doing anything other than just running.

honestly, I feel like it's the sort of thing you have to enjoy rather than tolerate -- obviously, I'm at the far end of that camp (despite, or because of, almost always having solidly mid-end hardware), and I'm well aware of it.

One cool thing about the Xbox One is that it finally puts the Kinect's motors to use for something other than just calibration. When video chatting on Skype the camera can follow the speaker around the room and zoom in on the speaker's face. I wonder if games can control the Kinect's movement as well.

oh yeah, definitely, and as someone who has played PC games for most of my life, i can fluctuate on how much i enjoy it. i mostly just bring it up to point out how much the PC gamers tend to underestimate the average person's distaste for it.

The One's Kinect does not have any motors at all, it just has a wider (proper) field of view. All the zooming and tracking is software based.

Oh, huh. That's still pretty neat. So did they drop the auto-calibration from the original Kinect?

truly, my dayjob is messing around with computers all day. the last thing i want to do when i get home and want to unwind is futz with settings menus. it becomes less "customizing my experience" and just "getting them damn thing to cooperate". until i just give up and play super monkey ball instead. it's easy to think these people are large in number, but they're just a really loud, always connected minority (see neogaf).

and i put together a nice computer telling myself i would learn to enjoy this aspect of PC gaming (lol nope, still hate it).

as both a pc and a console gamer, i tend to enjoy how consoles can be quickly unhooked and set up at someone elses house
i had a really nice bag for my PS3 and i used to take that thing anytime i was going to someones house that was not mine/my parents and it generally meant fun times for everyone
i also really enjoy never having to worry about the idea of critical hardware failure on any of my consoles being irreplaceable or upwards of 300$ to replace like if my graphics card or motherboard die on me, which has happened before

i mean, pc master race people make me laugh and roll my eyes just as much people who think one console is legitimately better than the other simply on the grounds of what company makes it.

- customizing AAA AA settings sliders is obviously not the highest form of futzing. I'm talking about debugging background layers in DKC using a SNES emulator for GBA (to offer one particularly weird example from my own experience). That's the sort of thing that, for me, maps onto enjoying PC stuff

This is sound advice; personally speaking, my last GPU was in the ~$220 range a couple of years ago and the mostly sidegrade option from it is at least that much and a clear, tangible upgrade is in the $275+ range. This has a lot to do with why I went with a PS4 instead of a new GPU, since I'm already running most everything I want to play at 1080p at 60-100 fps. Maybe if I cop a nice 1440p monitor on the cheap...

I'm still happily running a 9800GT, waiting to see whether the introduction of nVidia's Maxwell stuff drives the 760 (which I'd consider buying at this point) down to my acceptable price range by, say, next Xmas when I'm likely to need it for Witcher 3, or if the Maxwell stuff is actually a worthwhile upgrade in its own (the time is right, as the first set of mid-range of GPUs introduced after a new console generation is usually more than enough to ride out the whole generation), I'll probably end up with an 850 or 860 depending on whether one or the other of them seems too cut-down for the price point.

Witcher 3, now there's a game worth buying a console for. Precisely because no way am I spending the small fortune to build a rig worthy of it. I'll settle for no-hassle 720p if that's what it takes to enjoy it.

I'm going to keep up my usual shtick and point out that such a machine could be built for $600 (on the assumption that it gets a by-then high profile linux/steambox port and windows is not in the equation).

the $1-200 difference from current consoles is actually what I think it should be for a change (given labour differentials and what not) so hats off to the market

Wait, do we even know what W3's recommended specs will be? I'm going off the fact that my current PC, which is more than sufficient to run anything on PS360, positively *crawls* if I try to run W2 at anything approaching "good" settings. So yes, I expect W3 to require a solid investment in new hardware, definitely more than a PS4 would cost.

I built my PC a couple years ago for $600 and it ran The Witcher 2 just fine (before I upgraded the GPU) at 1080p and mostly 60 fps. The big performance drain is always anti-aliasing so I kept that off and left everything else at whatever it auto detected. After the upgrade I ran it with everything absolutely maxed, and the upgrade was ~$170 for a Radeon 7870 fancy whatever edition on sale. Not so sure I'll need to upgrade during this gen unless I do end up getting a super high res display. I'm pretty dang curious about how this Mantle thing is gonna pan out.

Maybe it's just the games I play, but I really haven't had to do any sort of fiddling lately at all. Most devs seem to be pretty good with the autodetection thing and I really can't be assed to run third party AA injectors. Warframe, Outlast, Path of Exile, and even ArmA 3 straight up had settings I didn't need to change at all upon first launch. There's also this AMD/Raptr thing that optimizes game settings based on other people's configs, and I think nvidia has one too! The age of futzing around before playing every PC game is hopefully over soon.

But... my TV is a POS and the only console I have is a Wii, where the worst of my problems was just setting the correct resolution. I totally understand why people buy consoles and I don't think it's dumb, but for real I've had more fun with the random weird free/cheap indie games for PC than most big titles in the past year or two. The PS4 and Xbone really don't interest me at all, and unless either gets a seriously killer exclusive lineup I'm sticking to Wii/3DS/PC mustard race. Maybe I'll become an idort and get a Vita if they get cheaper...

I'm gonna stick to my point of "it doesn't require much fiddling" and will counter that the "but I hate messing with stuff in PCs it's too draining and frustrating" doesn't really have much to do with modern-day PC gaming and honestly hasn't for about 5 years now if not more.

I said some in order to run really old games. It's possible to do, was my point. You put an Xbox Fat game in an Xbone and it's going to cough up an error message and that's that; with a PC, if you want, you can run extremely old games quite well. This isn't an option on non-hacked consoles, and at that point we're talking about hacking a console. Even softmodding a Wii is more tech-intensive than messing with settings in any given modern game by quite a bit.

But for the sake of argument let's assume you don't particularly give a shit about getting that original Magic Carpet 2 CD running on a Windows 8 machine and really just want to stick with modern games. At this point fiddling goes down to pretty much zero, especially if you have an nVidia card which has software which will straight up read your system's specs and adjust the settings for you automatically based on what it sees. We're talking all the difficulty of Click on game in Steam and hit Play. At worst, you might have to change the resolution to whatever your monitor is once in a while; if you've ever managed to put a hyperlink into some text on a forum post, congratulations you've performed a more technically intensive task than that.

Speaking as someone part of the idort master race (prior to the Bone's release an hour ago, the only current-ish thing I didn't have is a 3DS), let me say two things:
1. Don't do it
2. I need a real hobby

Well at least the thing was basically built and designed for digital-only, a solution would be simple.

DJ, it's like you don't even read what people say, and expect them to somehow prioritize your opinion over their own experiences, so i dunno, maybe don't be such a MASTER RACE dick about things ("oh hey, i am going to ignore what you said and just reiterate my point, the one you already addressed, instead of conitnuing the conversation WHEEEE!!!") especially to someone else who generally plays PC games but was just trying to explain why people don't like them?

also, yeah, i have spent a lot of time fiddling with settings in a lot of games, and man, sometimes it is nice to boot up something and not worry about key assignments of video resolution or AA settings or any of that. i mean, shit, congrats on being the one dude to get ffxiv running at max settings with no fiddling, but me (and a lot of the people playing the game, it would seem), I am still trying to figure out how to make it run at the best framerate with the best settings without running a separate piece of software to do it.

I came to like PC gaming a lot more when I got an Xbox 360 controller and an HDMI out port on my laptop.

Yeah, there is plenty I like about PC gaming. Heck, I even like that I have the options to fiddle with, provided i don't have to spend too much time with them. My only point originally is that some people don't want to fiddle at all, and PCs will forever require more fiddling than they want (even just using a mouse and keyboard as an interface could fit into this for them) and so consoles will have a market.
