villarule123 Posted October 28, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Pieface, if you still want a PS4 then I suggest selling your pre-order on eBay, they're already going for £550 and it's still a month until release. You could use the profit you make to buy an overpriced PS4. I'm sure I saw that there's more PS4s built than people anticipated. Or you could just sell it now, make profit, then buy the XBO when it's fixed and maybe even cheaper. Good idea! I can't believe they're going for £550+ on Ebay! That's crazy!!! I know, I was just about to cancel my pre-order as I was going to decide which one to get at the last minute, then I saw how much profit I could get out of it. I could do with a decent BF teammate to blow up shit with too Also, you get the money straight away via Paypal, so you won't be short of any money when you've bought the console, you're effectively being paid £100+ to post someone's Xbox for them Edited October 28, 2013 by villarule123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) The problem for me though is that I do actually want the Xbox One to be quite good. I've always liked the Xbox's and I've never really been a fan of Sony products which is why I cancelled the pre-order even though I knew it was the better console. But from all the reports coming out recently, the xbox is going to be a bit of a shambles at launch. Same goes for the PS4 too (if you believe the reports), apparently both Xbox Live and the PSNetwork are both a mess due to both implementing a DRM based network, and now they've both had to rectify it. Which would also explain titles being pushed back and certain features being stripped away from launch titles. Could be an interesting launch for both parties.

Daniel Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Albert Panello came out and said that the problems with Xbox live aren't half as bad as people are making out. He said a few bugs being worked out, but nothing major. I'm pretty sure both OS's will work perfect with only a small amount of bugs. As for all the other stuff blowing up over the weekend, I will make one small comment: There is a really bizarre phenomenon going on right now where the frenzy for news, drama, and behind-the-scenes dealings is clouding logic and reason. There is nothing going on behind the scenes nearly as interesting as everyone would like to believe. We are a month away from launch, and people are working hard to finalize the last of the bugs. There are still a lot things left to be done. We’re crunching and I’m sure Sony’s crunching too. I know people are excited. I’m sorry but things are nowhere near as dire or dramatic or exciting as everyone would like to believe. That’s why I’m not commenting on every single random rumor that comes along, because everything I see is so drastically overblown vs. reality.

Kwan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 CoD Ghosts is at 1080p on PS4 and 720p on X1. I wonder if there really is a bottleneck somewhere. That's two games in a row where they can't really match it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's been confirmed at a couple places http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rqqa5o Side note. Cod still looks awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Unless youre an expert theres no way you're noticing any difference anyway, apreciate that may not be the point but the console fanboying is really annoying. Not anyone here just in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 There's a pretty marked difference between 720p and 1080p. It's not an expert sort of thing. I don't think it'll matter too much in the end, but there is a difference and the fact that it's happened on more than one game is interesting.

The_Rev Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 People have been saying since the specs were announced that PS4 was more powerful. It has a better GPU and better RAM. The gap might close as time goes by because you really can't read too much into launch titles (they weren't even developed for final versions of the hardware) but yes, more good press for the PS4 over the Xbone could see Sony build up a huge lead in first year sales.

Cliffy Biro Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm torn personally, i have always preferred xbox and would prefer the xone but the forced kinect thing i'll never use aswell as the rest of the bad press since the announcements has got me thinking.

vandaq Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 wow, I have no words. 720 on ghosts? Like really? I am stunned. What a joke, like you couldn`t make that up. If you told me that 3 months ago I would have lost money. Will probably be 1080p in future releases but how bad are those devs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yes, but there should be a quality standard, they have barely made adjustments worth the cost, it`s still a modded Modern warfare from 2007. I know some people don`t give a damn but it`s very frustrating when big games like that still do it and get away with it. It sends a bad message and other will follow(or already have is better). And with mobile games getting more popular and cheaper, it`s a little bit worrying. Throw in micro transactions, dlc and so forth, I do wonder what it will be in 10 years, or heck even 20 years. I love games, always have but I don`t like the way it is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm leaving COD for the kids, I got Battlefield 3 last year with the Premium DLC for about £25 combined. Safe to say I haven't had that much fun on an online FPS for a long time, bring on BF4! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 seemed to get one hell of a marketing push during the football last night, 3 adverts per break, call of duty, battlefield and dead rising with then the xbox one bit after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
