Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Xbox One has Bluray drive, 8GB ram, 8 core CPU 500GB HDD, 3 Operating systems
- Thread starter Canis lupus
- Start date
"Move Engines" also, that make up for vastly lower memory bandwidth and 50% less GPU power.
Tripping balls.
Maybe that was the secret sauce the whole time. lol if it was.
Actually, I think it is!
So will games lead develop on XOne being that the tech is inferior and then port to PS4 with little to no changes because of the PC like architecture? If so, then at least the games will look the same. On the bad side, XOne will probably be holding the PS4 back for what should be more graphically intensive games. meh
We really need a one console future. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

He did talk about cloud/shared computing. And then Internet and particularly Xbox fans crucified him over it for years.
Fan forward to 2013, now Xbox fans hopes and dreams lay within the cloud.
Because they both share similar architecture there is no need to aim for the lower spec Xbox .... use PS4 as the main sku and just turn off \ tone down \ reduce graphics to fit on the Xbox.
Xbox will not hold back the PS4.

the only thing my insider was right about on the controller was the rumble in the analog buttons. 
did they scrap the screen idea because of price? was that ever going to be? booooooo!

in game informer interview with marc whitten (the guy on stage talking x1 specs)
GI:the PS4 has 8gb gddr5 of very fast ram which are focused on games and I've heard x1 has 3gb for the OS and only 5gb for games wont x1 be at a disadvantage becuase of this?
xbox guy response: ''err, i dont want to talk about sonys platform, i dont know how it works'' lol
this pretty much confirms 5gb for games doesent it, Mark whitten certainly didn't deny it and seemed in agreement with the game informer guy about 5gb for games and 3gb for OS.
maybe he does not actually know, how much RAM it has for games and OS!

Saw one of the videos after the reveal that said they tried a touch pad on the controller and they didn't like people constantly looking down at the controller and then back up at the tv.

How can someone claim to have sources and then post talesfromtheirass that they found on Pastebin?
The hardware guy does not know how much ram is allocated?
He would be really incompetent if that was the case.

He is not a hardware guy, and he was talking about how the PS4 system was set up when he said he didn't know how it works.
Lol ...... when huffing glue is your source your always going to be off the mark ;p

interesting. if you could ever find that link, that would be sweet. hmmm.. so they might of had it at one time.
well he certainty he seemed unsure,
With a title like ''Chief Product Officer'' one would of thought he would knows these things.
He was the one that came on stage to talk hardware, that's what I meant by "hardware guy".
Are they confusing a touch pad and a touch screen?
You don't have to look down when using a laptops touch pad...
I believe that it was reported Killzone was using 3GB
Well, I would like for you to look at the Killzone: Shadowfall reveal, and then look at the Call of Duty: Ghosts reveal, and then give me your take on the situation, as it were.
You're using a COD game to gauge how powerful the console is? Really?
Yes becos COD2 SHOWED TRHE 360'S MAX POWER

Why would Sony get royalties? Blu-Ray is owned by the BluRay Association, not sony.

~5:50 they start talking about the controller.
He may have been talking about a touch screen, about to rewatch.
3GB was for GPU only, 4.5GB total.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
"Look at the next title in a series known for it's graphical prowess and made exclusively for one system, compare it to a game known to reuse the same engine for years making small improvements over titles, it is made for both systems."
Nice comparison brah. Quantum Break would be better, but let's wait till MS reveals a next-gen FPS of their own.

That's absolutely stupid. Call of Duty has NEVER been a good looking game. They've always scaled back graphics in favor of performance, while Killzones scale back performance in favor of graphics.
This is literally the worst comparison you could make.
ok thanks!
It's impractical at best. It's one thing to have a game rendered remotely and sent to a console in an onlive type setup, but a hybrid approach where the game is partially rendered locally and some calculations are 'in the cloud?' While possible in theory, it would be a huge development headache, not worth the trouble for what would be marginal gains.

Nope, because we've seen exactly this excuse before with SimCity and it turned out to be utter horseshit. I expect the same here, that it'll actually be solely for always on DRM.

thanks.. interesting... so my guy was right at the time.. he never updated me since January. thanks for the link... so at one point they did have something.
Really depends. Weather physics calculations would certainly be something easily pushed to the cloud. Group AI is another. Take GTA for example, the cloud could compute AI routines for all AI, the only time AI is calculated locally would be for when player interactions take place.
1 vs 100 is a great example of something that would be easily pushed to the cloud. Instead of having to worry about an array of discreet servers to handle your load, just let Azure scale for you.
I am not saying it will dramatically change the landscape, just that it could certainly be something interesting to solve certain problems and should be something to keep on the lookout for.
Cynicism. So depressing.

These specs are so depressing, especially knowing they are the way they are just so the XBO can be a DVR with Kinect features first, gaming machine later.
