I think it's a great idea to have xbox live as a service that unifies PC & Xbox One gamers.

For anyone who thinks that xbox one will go away or that it will be redundant, that is incorrect.

People buy consoles to play on their TV's & because they are very affordable. $200 to $400 range.

That will not change. PC gamers (enthusiast) spend anywhere from 800 to 3000 dollars on an elite gaming rig.

That's...

7% or slightly more just from a DX12 patch is rather impressive.

Developers have already stated that games made from the ground up using DX12 will obviously see better improvement than a DX11 game patched.

With that said I can't wait for DX12 games to hit the market for xbox one.

Did you not read what he actually said? With a DX12 "PATCH" Xbox One will gain 7% or slightly more.

That's actually bigger than what I would expect from a game that was developed using DX11.

What I'm looking forward to is when games are made actually using DX12 for the xbox one. It's not a stretch to assume even greater gains. DX11 is a dinosaur compared to DX12 for game development.

If only a patch for console ca...

The xbox one "beta tested in the future" was specifically made with DX12 in mind. The Xbox One is a windows 10 device. DX12 will not only make use of all the cores (Currently only one core being used with dx11) but it will also make much better use of its super fast ESRAM. Tiled resources, etc...The main reason for the difficulty for some 3rd party games not reaching full 1080p. Moving to DX12 is huge in this regard and it's something many conveniently leave out when discussing ...

The absolute most fun I've had in a while playing a game. It is indeed a GEM & it's free to play. If you love RPG's, whether action or turn based, you will love this game. The depth of the game play & customization is astounding. Graphics are solid & gameplay mechanics are perfect. As someone who loves Diablo, Dark souls, Final Fantasy, Dragon Age, The Witcher...... This game is easily my favorite.

The biggest reason Sony is ahead in terms of console sales is due to the fact that the Ps4 launched worldwide, while the xbox one launched in just a few countries up until recently. Xbox was never going to out sell the ps4 (world wide)no matter what ram they put in the console.

In regards to the USA, Xbox will likely surpass the Ps4 by the end of the holidays. All data I've seen shows that the Ps4 only has a 1 million console advantage in the USA.

Obviously if you take your game disc to a friends house, your friend can play the game. But, that's not what I'm talking about. You can purchase One game digitally. And all 3 friends/family members can play that ONE game at the same time YOU are playing it. Also, you only have to pay for ONE xbox live account & you get 6 gold memberships/gamer tags for ONE.

If you do decide to get an Xbox One, remember that Family Share is indeed active. You can only share with 3 consoles a year. But all three consoles can SHARE all the games on each others library of games. You can also pay for ONE xbox live account & you can create 6 xbox live gamer tags to share. And yes you can buy ONE copy of Advanced Warefare (for example) & 3 separate consoles can play it together at the same time. Microsoft did this quietly & for me it's an incredible...

For me it was Kings Quest for the PC. Quake & Duke Nukem stand out on PC as well.

For consoles Fantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast got me hooked on console online gaming. But other console games that left an impression are Super Metroid, the star wars game on super Nintendo, and the first Halo.

What I find very interesting & telling is that Xbox One & Xbox 360 total sales are 47 million in the US & Ps4 & Ps3 sales are at 31 million. That's a 16 million lead or the lead equals over half of the total sony install base in the US. Obviously the US is land of the Xbox. Console sales mean ZERO to me the gamer when both consoles are selling great & I own both. But also, it's funny how Sony Fans are bragging about numbers so early in the generation with Ps4 onl...

Many of yall really don't have a clue do you?

1st of all, companies like Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, target, Walmart, etc...They order the amount of consoles from Microsoft that they feel they will sell thru to customers.

Companies order that amount, pay for it, & video game companies ship it out.

Microsoft doesn't just ship consoles to stores to sit on shelves. Stores order the amount they feel they will sell thru...

Strange you say that Phil should be ashamed of the low end piece of crap machine as you so eloquently put it.

I have 2 xbox ones & a Ps4 playing on my LG 4k 60 inch tv and both look great. I have tried some of the multiplatform games for both & the difference is indistinguishable.

For anyone to say the ps4 is 50% more powerful...it just doesn't translate in the games bro.

The funny thing is SONY supporters will ONLY hear what they want from that Podcast. You leave out that he also said that with DX12 will you'll see dramatic increase in the fidelity and the visual aspects of the games further into his talks on DX12 & how it will help Xbox One games for developers who use it.

When Phil said "DX12 makes it easier to do some of the things that Xbox One’s good at, which will be nice and you’ll see improvement in games that use DX12&qu...

Phil says this & I quote:

"Dx12 will be one of those things that developers will get better at using and you'll see a continued dramatic increase in the fidelity and the visual aspects of the games that are out there And on top of things like physics and other things that the studios decide to push the envelope on."

Now we know it doesn't change the hardware. That's common sense. But we also know ...

well it looks like the ps4 doesn't have the better version. Gamespot confirmed today that both the ps4 & the xbox one versions are 1080p. Xbox one is locked at 30 fps & the ps4 version is unlocked but frame rate bounces all over the place but typically right above 30 fps.

I prefer a steady frame rate than one that bounces all over the place & with both being 1080p, it's the xbox one version for me.

Isn't it funny that you get disagrees when the link you provided clearly states that the xbox one & ps4 versions are both 1080p. Sony fanboys just don't want to believe that it's possible. They bragged & bragged when the rumor was 720p for the xbox one version...The comparison video's all look like there is no difference & low & behold both versions are 1080p.

There you have it. LOL....I'm watching the video comparison on my 60 inch LG Plasma screen in 1080p & if I pause & look very closely, the PC version is a tad sharper, but TBH the xbox one & Ps4 versions look damn near identical. I don't know what the official res difference is but, fanboys fight over 1080p vs 900p & with the 900p upscaled via the hana chip in the xbox one, its very hard to tell any difference what so ever.

FH2 is the best looking & playing racing game I have ever played to date. It's open world, graphics is stupidly sick, and gameplay is incredible. In regards to the racing games not released yet, we will have to wait and see how they look & play when they are released. I love racing games & I use my 400 dollar thrustmaster so I will be getting them all. But it doesn't change the fact that as of TODAY....FH2 is the best looking & playing racer I have ever played.
