£700, where you guysBut back on topic, XBOX one I look forward to the day. Why? because I am going to run into my friend house shout "Xbox, Internet explorer, google, safe search off, bestiality, Open in all tabs" Then run the fuck away.

I can see one huge problem with this, Internet Explorer will take too long to load, will crash, or simply won't load at all, so you won't even be able to get to the Google stage of your plan.

Sod it, I'll just do it via smart glass then. Load up meat swing and just throw it onto screen every time he is in a competitive match or something.

Modern Games engines arnt opitmised for multicore utilization. (how ever the next gen will be thanks to consoles) Its mearly the extra threads and single core performance that gives most the illision that more cores are helping (its a more a case of the extra cores help run teamspeak and arnt a drain with other background programs)

As for Physx, its a gpu thing. More bluntly, its a Nvidia only thing. So unless you have a Nvidia GPU you cant have PhysX atm to be able to use a nvidia gpu as a physx card with an AMD maincard you have to use an unofficial driver patch.

Yeah that was the kind of spec i was thinking. Prices have dropped a little from when i last looked though.

You can also run PhysX off your CPU if your GPU isn't strong enough for it.

Deffo the case for Metro Last Light.

Yeah prices are alot better now.

As for Physx again, Its never a case of if the gpu cant handle it. its a case of "if youre using a AMD gpu"

The differance between CPU & GPU for Physx operation is massive, GPUs are able to handy this kind of operation much better than what a CPU can.

Although even so, Physx has a massive potential but because of limits with the tech, which is Physx only really works on Nvidia GPUs, games companys dont actually do anything worth while with Physx. so all Physx does in current games is just add better looking particles that is it. Which is a shame. But yeah, physx isnt anything to threat about.

Maybe in about 3-5 years time it will be worth while. but at the moment, its a useless technology.

Aye, where's the logic in calling it that?

I think 720 would've actually made sense.

The server's crashed showing the conference so I can't watch it, just picking up bits here and there from YouTube comment boxes and stuff.

I think they call it the ONE because it makes everything in you living room become ONE thing. Or some shit. To be honest, I think that they should have called it the "Infinity" and stuck with the prototype name.

 
I'm just glad that the XboxONE doesn't have a touch screen in the controller *stares at Sony*

They showed TV, Skype, Ghosts (which sucks), FIFA (which sucks even more) AND Forza 5 (which is awesome but not as good as dirt 3)

Most dissapointing thing I've ever watched

 
Atleast they actually showed something :lol:

You cant really compare forza to dirt, they're completely different types of racing.

I dont really see the huge dissapointment everyone else is getting? What did they expect? Its a box that plays games, now with a few extra features?

In theory, the specs for the new system would make it rival an entry level gaming pc. They could throw more features to make actual gaming so much better.

But (and this is the reason alot of people are pissed) They are wasting limited resources on gimmickry instead of increasing the gaming potential.

When you have a place of your own and you pay your own bills (might just be me with this opinion) But I dont like watching TV on my xbox, Id rather turn it off and watch tv, on the tv. saves wasting electric, and because my tv has a built in computer (thanks samsung) I dont need to worry about paying out for an xbox live subscription to watch free tv.

Not to mention that they have killed the seconhand and rental service, and by the looks of things they will hinder limit the offline capability of the console too.

"yeah but they have alot more servers now" Is what i keep hearing. and because they will focus their effort on streaming as much data as possible (Including entire games)

Xbox have made the assumption that every one has Unlimited subscription from their ISP's and that all their customers will have HD TV's (which they will not support Standard deff tv's)

Rant over....

 
I get that but if you don't want to, you don't have to use it?

I read somewhere that they have some way of sorting oout the secondhand/rental market somehow by uninstalling the game of one console once installed on another.

Offline is a problem though agreed, but at least it doesn't have to be online at all times like originally rumored :)

Compared to a PC its understandable but I don't see how people jump to judge the ps4 to be the better option, when we dont even know huge amounts about it yet. Granted it has got better ram though.
