Having to have gold membership to watch 4OD is stupid. Hopefully this makes that free too.

Yesterday, A PlayStation website claimed that the PS4 was the only way to enjoy Watch Dogs at 1080p with a frame rate of 60FPS.

Sony has now quietly rolled back the relevant text from its website, as spotted and screengrabbed by GameInformer.

An earlier rumour suggested the action game will run at 30FPS on all systems, although the Xbox One version will be lower res than the PS4.

I much prefer PC gaming to console gaming, but despite the above article they're still a hell of a lot cheaper than trying to keep a PC updated which will play all the latest games :tard:.

Ah cool. I'm pretty out the loop in gaming in general, currently have a GTX 260 :D. Odd how you mention the 460, a friend offered to swap my card for his old GTX 460, sounds like it'll suit me just fine!

Is this necessarily true? I mean, you really don't need a high end gaming PC to play the latest Xbox 360 titles, and I'm sure it'll chug along pretty decently with these early Xbox One titles. So if you wait another year and then buy the beefiest PC you can find, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine and dandy for the coming years of console games.

edit:
oh, has already been said I see.

only took them a year, but media streaming is a fact for the Bone. supports mkv.

Quote:
a new app will be available soon that enables users to play media files from either an attached USB device or from a network connected home media server that supports DLNA protocols. The preview version of the Media Player app will initially only support USB devices, with DLNA support coming soon. Xbox One will support more formats than Xbox 360, including support for dozens of new file formats like mpeg 2 TS, animated gifs and mkv which will be added by the end of the year. See below for additional file formats.


Doombrain rejoice.

It's a gaming device first and foremost. And until there's actually some games worth playing, I won't go with the next gen consoles. If Fallout 4 came out tomorrow, I'd buy an xbone today...

Why not buy it tomorrow at the same time as buying the game?

Got one just so I can play Destiny on it. Can't wait, although AC Black Flag is actually really fun. Way better than previous AC games anyway.

Yeah it's fucking awesome! I love wandering around doing pirate things. Dunno why but it's struck a chord with me and that hasn't happened with any recent games... Save maybe GTA 5.

Sure, but it's bullshit how MS is treating an important market like the Netherlands like a 3rd world country.
Also, aren't these things country coded, so that depending on the country the console was bought in, certain things from onlt that country work, like certain online deals or vouchers?

In this very thread we've been over this. The Bone is regionfree, as are it's games. Dl vouchers work everywhere unless youre in a country where there's no Live.

Also, MS offers full support for imported machines. The only thing is that the Kinect and dash doesn't support your native language.. seeing how the Bone is no longer bundled with the Kinect that point is also moot.

Every Saturn, Mediamarkt, Dixons and maybe even Intertoys has it in sale, not to mention Redcoon, Bol.com etc. At first it was the German import but now it's even labelled as NL.

After Squeenix' apologetic letter to the community - "we still love the other platforms but our MS friends paid us money so yea" - Microsoft's Phil Spencer now elaborates on the deal. Spoiler: it's not exclusive.

Quote:
Yes, the deal has a duration," Xbox boss Phil Spencer told Eurogamer. "I didn't buy it. I don't own the franchise."

In other words, when they said yesterday that the next big Tomb Raider game is an Xbox exclusive, what they really meant is that it'll be out first on Xbox (both 360 and One), and then it'll come later to other platforms.


We can all relax now.

<JimSterlingMode>

With all due respect, but you're being such a weak apologetic cunt for the gaming industry here MKJ.

Sure, you can buy an Xbox One via import and everything, but the fact that MS officially launches the device in a few European countries nearly a year after the initial launch just shows such a gigantic lack of respect for their customers. It's like they aren't taking these markets seriously and the alternative of import doesn't just make that "OK". And yeah, the fact that this is yet another unforgivable Xbox One fuckup on MS' side doesn't exactly tip the scale in their favor either.

Also, a franchise as big as the next Tomb Raider game being released on Xbox first and Playstation and PC later is NOT a cool thing. It's absolute shite in fact.
It's something that MS is doing out of their own interest, only to enrich themselves. The consumer isn't getting any favors here, in fact, most consumers are completely fucked by it, because they have to wait before they can play the game, possibly for months.

It may seem like I'm overreacting and yeah, it's "just" videogames and there sometimes are alternatives, but it's just that if everyone goes "oh, ok" and moves on, companies in the gaming industry continue to pull this sort of shit and fuck the consumer over and over, if not doing worse.
