Liked that so I did

Serious lack of games in that ad.

Paramount clearly signed a deal with Microsoft to promote Star Trek into Darkness. It pops up here again (as it did at the reveal of XboxOne).

Well, it's not really selling the games, it's selling the concept of Xbox One. There'll be individual games adds as well.

Agreed, its not an add about games a such. It is for the console itself.

I think this angle from MS what has me buying a PS4 before an Xbox One. As a gamer, I get irritated by the entertainment side of things, which I have well sorted in the house.

0 consoles now to be sold in Manchester watched the ad in the break room today with a few colleagues and had one colleague stand up when he saw Steven Gerrard and said he was going to cancel his pre order :eek: he seemed serious as well.

I agree,

some people might like xbox one .. but for me I prefer to have things separate,

laptop for internet, mp3 player for music, box for TV and gaming console for games, tablet for social stuff and phone for calls.

I am already annoyed by PS4 forcing this social crap, but it's not as bad as microsoft forcing their own stuff.

I wish they would stop pushing Titanfall in all their promo stuff,a lot of my friends now think its out at launch or before xmas.

Its not helping my personal waiting game either

No way to avoid it really tbh,its going to pop up on both machines.Your only option then is to buy neither one.

I dont have anytime for that social crap either so i will just avoid it and play bf4

What an idiot he must be, I'm a lifelong MU fan and I think Stevie Gerrard is a class player and would be welcome at old Trafford:D

Christ and I am leaving it at this for fear of the thread going off track and as a Man U fan, you are in the tiny majority, no fan wants him and if Microsoft only got him, it says a lot about their marketing campaign when they could use far better players such as Messi and Ronaldo with actual star power.

You are really starting to clutch at straws now for criticism of the XB1

If seeing stevie g on an xbox advert makes you not want to buy a great piece of new tech just because your a man u fan or what ever fan your friend is, well then yes he is an idiot,
how did you not expect these responses ? basing your buying decision because a football star (and yes he is a star and im not a liverpool fan, I despise liverpool) is promoting the product just shows how much of an idiot your friend is really
what would happen if sony done the same, with say andy carroll promoting the ps4 (ex liverpool)
would that stop him from buying both next gen consoles ?

It was a observation more than a criticism, if you want people clutching at straws go visit Neogaf.

People who buy or abstain from buying a console on the basis of what celebrity is on an advert are (some of) the drecks of the gaming world.

Depends on who it was and for what, if it's just a case of not liking someone then it's a bit stupid but if they were an outright bastard then that's different; doping, criminal, bigot.

For people who are still wondering why most games will not be in 60fps for the time being.

Digital Foundry: There were hopes that next-gen console would target 60fps - something John Carmack mentioned in his QuakeCon keynote this year. Can you talk us through the thinking behind Ryse as a 30fps game?

Cevat Yerli: Developers always have to choose whether they go for 60 or 30fps, depending on the type of game and complexity of the project. With Ryse, we wanted to go for a very emotional experience with complex and dramatic lighting, high fidelity environments, and rich characters and character animations. So 30fps was our choice, and we believe that most developers will go for richer worlds at 30 frames per second rather than 60fps - which would call for compromises, as 60fps demands twice the amount of compute rendering speed. 30fps is a standard that is above, for example, what most cinemas use for showing films. Early demos with higher frame-rate experiences have shown that gamers and viewers have a mixed opinion about its perceived quality - for example, how 48fps cinema experiences were received. So it's both a production design choice as well as user research.

Digital Foundry: What is your experience with the ESRAM on Xbox One? How do you utilise it in Ryse? Is 32MB really enough for the high-bandwidth rendering elements you'd want to utilise? How important is allocating graphics between DDR3 and ESRAM for Xbox One development?

Cevat Yerli: We put our most accessed render targets like the G-Buffer targets into ESRAM. Writing to ESRAM yields a considerable speed-up. While 32MB may not be enough to use something like MSAA to the fullest, with a smart memory management strategy it is possible to deal with that.

Full article here, it is quite interesting, but he seems to be doing more PR work then going deep into specifics.

Love Liverpool. Hate United. Still does nothing for me. Good looking games do, however, and that's it.
