spursmaddave Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Forget 1080p, I hope these new consoles will have enough GPU power to drive 4K TVs which are coming.... Only those with 100" TVs will really be that bothered about 4K really Sent from the golf club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 HD TVs are only just about mainstream now, so 4K is at least 8 years away IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I said a bit overkill unless you go 100" or more.... not really for the average Joe with a 'normal' sized front room... Sent from the golf club...

Ekona Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Oh absolutely, why else do you think I drive a Porsche?! Also, at least the Xbone has DLNA abilities. PS4 does not, which seems a massive backwards step. Streaming media should be a given on new tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It's worth remembering that the PS3 was described as technically being significantly more powerful than the Xbox 360 in pre-release articles. But it didn't translate into noticeably better games on screen. In fact, PS3 versions frequently looked slightly rougher. I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of games that run on both systems look very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same about having a 'Retina' display on my phone/tablet/laptop, now that I've got use to it 'normal' lower resoultion screens just look so horrible and outdated....3D was a gimmick, but you can never have enough resolution, abit like you can never have enough BHP in a car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 They say they might patch it back in, but unless everyone kicks up a stink (which they won't) I don't see them making it a priority. A handful of interweb people morning is peanuts compared to the millions of gamers who are going to buy it regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Anyway back 'on topic' The Xbone is soooooo fecking ugly, surely they could have done a but more with it I think it looks like it was made by Amstrad in the 90's.....

Fodder Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) I guess they're making sure they have room to put more fans in 22nd is booked off however I'm going out that night and it will be a heavy one celebrating my birthday with work colleagues then again on the Saturday so doubt I'll get much gaming in that weekend. I've only ordered COD so far but will pick up forza (forced to have the FIFA bundle) and was tempted with BF4 but i tend to play a game at a time (OCD) as like to complete if you know what I mean Edited November 3, 2013 by Fodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I don't think either of the two new consoles are good looking, but they'll both fit nicely in with the other black boxes under the telly, Xbone is utterly silent by all accounts, no doubt due to that great big fan. No probs with the PSU brick either, would rather than that extra heat inside the unit itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 My sense of humour is a little off key and made worse by the tinternet. It can't be any worse than my 60gb PS3 I must admit I'm looking forward to it but I'm just not as excited as I have been for previous new consoles.

djb55 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Well for me it will be the PS4, had them all PS1, PS2, currently got a PS3, I have this hatred you see of all things Microshaft, I use Linux on my PC along with Open Office. Just bought BF4 for my PS3, totally addictive, Im just in the process of rescuing some people out off Shangai, love the way the enemy troops turn and run for cover when you are blatting them.

maxi-glasgow Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Went into Game at weekend and asked young guy on shop floor about the new facility that if you pay in full 2 days early your guaranteed the X1 for launch, he went and asked manager and said that is only available for pre-orders, so I asked if I go pay for a pre-order will I be able to do it and he said yes. So I strolls up to the counter and says the same thing, guy doesn't know what I am talking about so goes and speaks to manager, comes out and says it's only available for phase one pre-orders only, so I replied isn't that a bit pointless since phase one pre-orders should have been guaranteed for launch day only and was only met with a shrug of the shoulders. So i walked out very unhappy at the service level. Thought I would try PC World as surely Know How must be one of the biggest retailers in the UK now with the demise of Comet, finally got the guy who specialises on consoles and he said they have been told not to guarantee for launch day but let me know that he looked at the book that morning and they only had 6 pre-orders already booked. As they are a massive customer of Microsoft he reckoned they would get a very large consignment of X1s, so I pre-ordered with them, when he was processing it he said it was still showing availability of Day One consoles so happy days. Only downside is I need to wait till 8am on the 22nd rather than a midnight launch. So that's the day off booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
