@NoAngle @Kracka2205 @JPala84 The PS3 has let you download content onto multiple consoles for years (and they can be played concurrently, which the xbone doesnt allow) and I don't see why Sony wouldn't continue that with the PS4. The family sharing idea is cool but it doesn't make up for the needless DRM on disk copies. And you saying that MS will let you play with the disk in the console, well you're just pulling that out of your ass. They've repeatedly said in interviews that they have no plans to change any of these rules.
@NoAngle @JPala84 Except not really. PS4 will have both, you can either buy a physical copy or a digital one. With Xbone your physical copy is basically just a digital copy stored on the disk. So you're not actually buying the game, rather the license to use the disk.
@Shivatin But lets be honest though, the people who actually watched that reveal last week were mainly interested in the Xbox One's gaming aspects, and in that sense Microsoft failed miserably. The only actual in-game footage they showed was from EA Sports and COD, both of which will be available on other platforms. And honestly I wouldn't have been that disappointed if the stuff they did show even remotely interested me. Half the conference was about how I can finally watch TV on my game console. Whoop dee frickin doo.
Here's my issue, they just keep skirting around the questions and they keep digging themselves even deeper. Whenever someone asks them if the XB1 needs to periodically connect online or if they will allow you to play used games they give bullshit answers like "Oh all these rumors are based on such little fact" or "we'll have more to clarify at E3" or "we'll do the right thing." Just say "YES" or "NO." Stop stringing us along. By being so vague they're only fueling the fires.
@Rakasasha @harndoogle @Kracka2205 And Bioshock Infinite isn't about Christianity, but a fictional religion with lots of similarities. Just goes to show that religious people tend to get their panties in a wad over anything.
@ecs33 @JBStone1981 It's unified. 8GB of GDDR5 RAM shared between CPU and GPU. The catch is that it's all GDDR5 which is much faster and is only used in graphics cards on desktops. And most high-end cards today only have 2-3GB.
@ecs33 It's GDDR5 RAM, which is a lot faster than the DDR3 RAM you have in your computer. Granted it's shared between CPU and GPU but it's still a lot for developers to work with. If developers were to split the RAM, say, 4GB for CPU and 4GB for GPU, that would easily be comparable with the memory performance of today's high-end desktops. Couple that with a lightweight OS which won't take up nearly as much memory as Windows and you'll see that this particular spec is actually really impressive. The PS4's real bottleneck will be its GPU, which is rumored to be based on a mid-range Radeon 7000 chip.
