[Thread Ufficiale] Waiting For PS4 & Xbox One

DayZ non era quel "titolone" che ha floppato miseramente su steam (tutto dire) perché vendeva lucciole per lanterne? Se é cosi'...grazie ms

Se da quì a Novembre vinco al superenalotto potrei farlo anche io

Quello è War Z ovvero la copia
Day Z per ora è solo una mod di Arma 2 (che spacca come poche) ed è in arrivo la versione Standalone di cui i vari provato all'E3 fanno ben sperare

MS si presenterà al TGS quando il Giappone non è nella lista?

AHHHHH perfetto! allora quello é figo si!!!

Gamesindustry ha partecipato a una conferenza a porte chiuse di MS chiamata "Xbox 101"


Xbox One has power of 10 Xbox 360 consoles, says Microsoft

FRI 14 JUN 2013

And the company says the power becomes "infinite" with cloud technology, which game developers have been "incredibly positive" about

Microsoft may still be reeling from the PR nightmare about Xbox One's used game policies and always online nature, but that hasn't stopped the company from espousing the next-gen platform's big potential. In a closed-door meeting called "Xbox 101" attended by GamesIndustry International, the company stressed that Xbox One has "the computational power of more than 10 Xbox 360 consoles," and that "the cloud brings infinite additional processing power."

Those are the words of Xbox One engineering manager Jeff Henshaw, who led a demonstration about how Xbox One's power has enabled Microsoft to create a demo using real data from NASA to track the orbital velocity of 40,000 asteroids in space. While Henshaw and his team are very proud of the power of Xbox One when it's offline, the real advantage, he stressed, comes from Microsoft's special cloud services.

"Microsoft has hundreds of thousands of servers and dozens of data centers geographically distributed all around the planet, and Xbox One has the ability to instantly tap in to that limitless computational horsepower," Henshaw explained. With that extra cloud power, Microsoft is able "to take the number of asteroids from 40,000 to 330,000, and any device doing the computational math to realistically in real-time chart the orbital velocity of 330,000 asteroids would melt a hole in the ground, but Xbox One is able to do it without even breaking a sweat because it's pulling in virtualized cloud computing resources."

"Game developers have given us incredibly positive feedback on the crazy different ways that they can use this incredible new cloud power resource"
Jeff Henshaw

Henshaw added that even with all the power being used, Xbox One remains incredibly silent (no doubt an important aspect to note given how loud Xbox 360 hardware has been). "We have about 500,000 updates per second coming from our global computing cloud down to this Xbox One so it can all be managed completely seamlessly. The beautiful thing that's happening here is we are seamlessly blending Xbox One's incredible processing power with the limitless processing power of the cloud," he continued.

So why is Microsoft going out of its way to show us a screen full of thousands of asteroids? Well, the implication is that if Xbox One can track all these asteroids, then it can certainly create massive, highly detailed game worlds for gamers to enjoy.

"Game developers are building games that have bigger levels than ever before. In fact, game developers can now create persistent worlds that encompass tens or hundreds of thousands of players without taxing any individual console, and those worlds that they built can be lusher and more vibrant than ever before because the cloud persists and is always there, always computing," Henshaw said.

"Those worlds can live on in between game sessions. If one player drops out, that world will continue on and can experience the effects of time, like wear from weather damage, so that when a player comes back into the universe it's actually a slightly evolved place in the same way that our real world evolves a little bit from the time we go to sleep to the time we wake up. Game developers have given us incredibly positive feedback on the crazy different ways that they can use this incredible new cloud power resource."

It all seems a bit theoretical, but if the cloud can be as valuable a resource for developers as Microsoft says, perhaps consumers won't mind the Xbox One being always online when they play.

PS4: Shuhei Yoshida spiega perché l'online sarà a pagamento

14/06/2013
Shuhei Yoshida ha spiegato a Cvg perché con la PS4 il multiplayer sarà a pagamento:
"È stata una decisione importante. Ne abbiamo discusso e abbiamo deciso che, mentre su PS3 e Vita nulla sarebbe dovuto cambiare, su PS4 invece si sarebbe reso necessario un cambiamento: la connettività rappresenta una funzionalità troppo importante. Continueremo a investire in questo, espandendo l'esperienza.
Con il modello precedente i nostri sforzi si concentravano tutti sul contenere con ogni mezzo a nostra disposizione i costi di gestione della piattaforma online, così da continuare a fornire un multiplayer gratuito. Tale modello però non è più sostenibile."

Comparazione tra una fila di tre lattine e la PS4

Credo che 101 stia per il numero di clienti che l'hanno prenotata

O il numero dei drm della console

Sto prezzo di 500 euro, senza contare il resto, non riesco a digerirlo pensando a cosa c'è dentro considerando poi un paio di giochi, secondo controller e l'abbonamento Live...almeno un anno potevano regalarlo insieme ad un gioco per chi fa il preordine e non il controller con quella caxxo di scritta in mezzo.

Va ancora di lusso che negli states non chiedano di abbinare l'assicurazione sanitaria al profilo di Xboxone

Comunque c'è anche da dire che la line up di MS al lancio è piuttosto interessante mentre Sony ha qualche gioco in meno, (almeno quanto visto fino ad oggi ma ci sono altre conferenze quindi la situazione può cambiare) ma se dobbiamo imparare dalla attuale gen, sono piuttosto tranquillo sapendo che Sony sfornerà giochi su giochi sapendo che prenderli tutti sarà impossibile spero che MS non faccia come 360 altrimenti è una presa ingiro pieno supporto per qualche anno, poi via di boiate kinectose a terremoto

Stesso discorso per il presunto bundle Ps4 + Vita a cui fa gola a molti che hanno dichiarato persino D1 alla notizia;
499 ps4+vita uguale a 499 X1 Kinect2 (che prima di urlare allamerdaaa direi di provarlo magari, come tutto del resto persino Knack )...poi ovvio X1 costa quello punto, Ps4 se non ti frega ne di vita ne di Eyequalcosa ti butti sulal 399 liscia ma a giudicare dal discorso "con Vita D1!" non andiamo tanto lontano gusti permettendo...io in ogni caso aspetterei dei bundle con gioco annesso per entrambe!

Prima che mi si dica "eh pero' vita sti cazzi", il mio discorso non é sul "pezzo" ma sulla logica del prezzo...ovvio che Kinect2 non te lo puoi portare al cesso (se ti spia poi sai che risate ), sono due intrattenimenti differenti...

Multiple NeoGAF users are reporting Microsoft invading Wii U Best Buy events


Well this is just sad. Seriously, a scumbag move on Microsoft here. It's been reported by multiple users on the NeoGAF forum today that Microsoft representatives have been attending Nintendo's Best Buy events today in order to persuade customers to pre-order the XBOX One, rather than play Wii U games. One user by the name of tmujir955 reported the following:


"At my best buy, the rep told us they only got one Station to set up. They expect low numbers that turned out to be completely wrong. There was up around 200 people in line at any time before 40 minutes till 8pm.

Rep told me they were completely unprepared for the event turnout numbers.

A best buy employee also talked about how Microsoft and Sony have contracts with them to limit competitor demo stations allowed in different stores.

Also in another thread I saw how a Microsoft employee visited a best buy to talk about the Xbox One.

The same thing happened to me where a dude in a Grey-white shirt showed up and asked why everyone was in line. We said Wii U. He said Why?! Why not just go pre-order the Xbox One. He talked about the Xbox One and started to talk to others in line.

People in line told him to leave them alone. He didn't wear a Microsoft t-shirt though."



If that wasn't enough proof, multiple users were quoted on the forum with the following statements:



Unknown: "Culver City here, saw some people in MS shirts, but too many people were bashing the xbone - they didn't speak up at the part of the line I was, but I saw them near the back"

Silent_Ocarina: "There was a guy wearing a collared Microsoft shirt at my Best Buy. I did not speak to him, but he was definitely lingering and speaking to people around the demo station."

_woLf: "There was a guy in a microsoft shirt at my best buy, but I'm not sure if it was relevant to this event or not. The best buy usually has reps from various companies (apple, samsung occasionally, microsoft) in it so I dunno.

This is hilarious though, regardless."

Unknown: "Microsoft employees are hitting up the line and asking people why they would bother with Wii U when Xbox One is right around the corner."



One user actually took a snapshot of the Microsoft Representative, clearly wearing a Microsoft "collar" shirt, that is being spotted at multiple stores:





Microsoft, you guys have obviously have never heard about the world, "subtle". This has to some of the most piss poor, scumbag moves to insure people are actually interested in your product. Guess what? Nintendo fans are usually the opposite of the norm here. So for you to actually send reps out for "insurance" would be comedy gold in gamers minds.


One thing I will admit though, that caught my eye in the first quoted statement here was "A best buy employee also talked about how Microsoft and Sony have contracts with them to limit competitor demo stations allowed in different stores." This must have been the reason why some Best Buys became unlisted in the part of Best Buy's Nintendo E3 Experience. I kind of find it funny that Microsoft and Sony would go to such lengths so "Ban" Nintendo demo units from hitting stores. But still, to send out a representative, not only an unprofessional move on Microsoft's part, but pure comedy gold.

Vabbè dai non è nemmeno paragonabile una periferica opzionale per giochi casual con una console portatile con i controcazzi,al prezzo di ONE di danno ben due console il discorso è completamente diverso

ma che tristezza...

Beh, io non le ho mai usate per decidere quale console acquistare

Kinect è un prodotto per i bambini ma non solo. Adatto anche ai più grandi nelle serate in compagnia. Sfido chiunque a non essersi divertito nel provarlo.
Il supporto,ovvio, che dipenderà da Microsoft nel "non farlo diventare come il precedente".
Per quanto riguarda le portatili, a me non piacciono. Il mio concetto di cosole è poltrona, tv da minimo 40" e connessione al live, per quanto questo aspetto possa far storcere il naso.
