Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

The voice recognition stuff is hardly revolutionary or anything, PS4 has it too they just don't have much plans for it, but if game developers want to they can add in voice control.

It's not exactly something you need to have on a console.


I wouldn't feel very safe with the Kinect watching me all the time, maybe Microsoft don't watch you, but there's nothing to stop people hacking in to it like they do webcams anyway people will figure it out.
And it's not like you could just turn it around so the camera doesn't see you since it's built in to the thing.


They have to scale up graphics from 720p so that it can maintain a consistent frame rate, if it runs games at proper 1080p it doesn't maintain 60FPS well at all. Happened with Halo on the 360 they had to run it below HD for the same reason I think.
Which is kind of weird really, PS4 has more powerful hardware but not by much, they must have had trouble with the OS.


In a few years it's probably not going to be a console war anymore it will just be either PC or media centre wars...

I wonder if you can get a PC that performs the same as a PS4 for roughly the same price? Probably not. Graphics cards and processors are damn expensive. Even the medium performance ones.

I think you could but you couldn't just waltz down to the local electronics shop or anything you would have to wait for sales and stuff, if your goal was to equal it for less anyway.

I don't really get the PC > everything argument, of course they're more powerful, they cost so much more.


A console is smaller, cheaper and a lot easier to set up plus a lot more portable, it's not like you could take most powerful rigs with you on holiday or whatever some of them are huge and immobile.
Plus if anything breaks you have no warranty or anything since you built it yourself, if you don't know how to fix it or what even went wrong you're pretty screwed for cash.

That picture's pretty accurate.

I don't think it's that expensive to have a decent PC. It might cost you a fair bit at first but then I probably spend less money upgrading it once a year than people spend buying a brand new console. Can't upgrade a console. Once you buy one, that's it. You're stuck. A PC only gets better the longer you own one so long as you keep it up to date. Which as I said, isn't even that expensive to do.

Well, you can actually upgrade your consoles it's just a lot harder to do and...I'm not sure if it's illegal exactly but if you do I don't think anyone will repair it for you, except like local dudes who don't care.


Consoles are better for just gaming, you don't really need to upgrade it all the time to get that one or two extra frames per second playing the games are fun enough.
Unless it's supposed to look real PC graphics don't much enhance your experience, it looks really pretty but it doesn't make the game better.

For PC gaming in my opinion the only better thing about it is mods, although you can get them on consoles but again that's difficult.


Sitting with a keyboard just isn't as fun for me, you can use a console controller of course or a custom PC one of course but that really just highlights how inelegant and dull a keyboard can be in comparison, only really better for faster access to commands and hotkeys.

I find the keyboard and mouse makes first person shooters way easier. Plus RTS games such as Age of Empires are very cumbersome with a controller.

I think having better graphics and frame rates does enhance the gameplay. I'm not saying that's all it takes to make a game good but it certainly helps.

However, with this next gen of consoles the difference in performance between high end PCs and consoles is definitely getting narrower.

On the other hand, consoles are still just PC's with a lot of heavy restrictions.

Forza 5 runs at 1080 fine. You're just talking out of your a***.

You are just a naive fanboy. Probably can't buy anything on your own yet without breaking your bank so anything that costs more/extra is bad. wait until you can buy your own things before you start bashing, you obviously don't want to factor in that people own 70 inch tvs, tivo, surround sound and want a system that seemlessly integrates them all together

Fanboy? You don't think there's an element of the pot calling the kettle black there?

No need to be so aggressive and insulting. It's not like anyone is actually bashing your beloved Xbox One or anything. Although from what I've read it wouldn't be difficult. But I won't because this isn't one of those stupid console wars. One console isn't superior to the other. I'd get an Xbox if it had games that I liked. But since I don't like Halo, Gears of War or Forza, I'm getting a PS4.

I'm not a fan boy by any means by the way. I don't like Uncharted or God of War and I don't think PS4 is some kind of wonder machine. It's just more suited to my personal taste that's all.

When did he say Forza doesn't run at 1080p? He said BF4 runs at 720p, up scaled to 1080.

You should be careful of who you call a fanboy, Fulgore. You're not exactly hiding it yourself.

I don't care for fanboy mentality anymore, nowadays for me it comes down to which has the games I want, and I love the lineup PS4 has in store.

Read again. He never said battlefield. He said the Xbox one only scales up 720. Forza 5 is 1080

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

Most of the games have to be scaled up from 720 or the frame rate can't keep up, that's just how it is.

The average consumer doesn't have a 70 inch TV, I think if you can afford that it makes more sense to just get a gaming PC set up for you, considering you can play most of the same games.

And no I'm not poor I could buy both consoles.

What's bad about the X1's extra cost is that it's not optional they don't really give you much extra for the money you're paying, you can set up movies and games and voice recognition on a fairly average computer by todays standards, something most people already have.


Anyway for graphics etc if a game is good enough playing it on a console and then a PC isn't going to add any extra enjoyment, it's still the same game in the end back to FPS if you play CoD or BF on a PC you're not going to stop in the middle of a gunfight and admire how life like that rock looks or that cloud in the distance.
So in that respect there's barely a noticable difference however with slower games like RTS and Sandbox it's very noticable.

I find a keyboard is more...sort of lazy, like you can just sit back in your chair and keep your fingers over the buttons but with a controller you can sit up, elbows on your knees and get in the zone. Keyboards make it easier to dip in to the lifestyle of the picture I posted if that makes sense.

I think I might get the Xbox One over the PS4, because the line-up of games on the X1 appeals to me, more than the PS4's.
