    Sony up to its old tricks with deceptive marketing :mad:

    Its good to see them getting a wrap on the knuckles for this kind of dodgy marketing. You don't see Microsoft advertising Ryse as a 960p game then running it at 900p.

    They were almost doing the same thing again when they advertised Watch Dogs as 1080p on PS4 before admitting it wasn't possible and scrapping the advertisement.

    What a ridiculous lawsuit. Who is the victim in this?

    Ah Failsafe.. seriously, come on.

    I can't even believe lawsuits like this can be made.

    Yeah sony ffs

    How dare they use dirty marketing tactis

    So much worse than drm policy and telling your consumers to if you dont like xbox one policies you can basically shove it

    **** sony

    That gamers are the victims

    Big cooperations shouldn't get away with lying to make them or the product they are selling look better than what the competition is selling.

    It's cheap and dirty

    That's a completely different thing.

    And anyway most of that article is irrelevant now anyway you no longer need a gold sub to access Netflix, YouTube etc..

    How is false advertising different to false advertising?

    Microsoft and Sony are awful at strategic marketing just like any other big company.

    That law suit is beyond stupid and will most likely get a #Murica beside it.

    Microsoft added the t & c to the add which states the missing sections.

    The same as pretty much every other tv ad on tv

    You don't really think you can actually get a brand new audi for 250 euro per month do you

    Yes, it's a different scenario to the one you commented on but the sentiment of your statement should apply to this also, why is it that rather than echoing your condemnation you seem to deflecting this criticism?

    Firstly I won't deny that my criticism is more so directed towards Sony then ms as I'm debating for Ms and against Sony

    But In my own opinion There's a difference to having a message stating that the extras are required to achieve the same result as in an advisterment

    Then stating that something runs better than it actually is. (using the facts in this thread too my knowledge Sony haven't used any kind of t&c stating that the game isn't as shown)

    ESRAM is just for the GPU information to pass through and be pulled from. The small size of it limits the amount of data that can be passed through it.
    Regardless of how fast it is potentially (even though those are hypothetical potential speeds you speak of, not the speeds that are mainly seen), the small size is still a bottleneck. Large amounts of RAM that is generally the same speed is better.

    It might be a bottleneck but it still remains to be seen if it is still a bottleneck. Nobody can conclusively state that it is. Theoretically the XBox One has a huge advantage in memory bandwidth over the PS4 it's just the small size means it has to be managed correctly to get that bandwidth increase.

    Again it can't be said yet for sure whether it is a disadvantage or an advantage (again more than likely it will mean both machines excel in different areas). It's worth noting that the same GPU memory set up caused headache for developers on the PS2 and 360 but once they got their heads around it it lead to those machines having advantages in areas against competitors with much more advanced video hardware.

    Also worth pointing out that even with the extra 100Mhz, the PS4 CPU still scores better than the X1 CPU in certain performance tests.
    http://www.cinemablend.com/games/PS4-CPU-More-Powerful-Than-Xbox-One-CPU-According-Benchmark-Test-61203.html

    Well that test is absolute nonsense. All it shows is that on a game engine (which could or could not be optimised well) runs better on 360. Unreal ran better on 360 while frostbite ran better on PS3 last gen, you can infer nothing from that. However I would expect the PS4 to GPU to outperform the One GPU in most benchmark tests. The eSRAM really only affects post processing such as AA and alpha affects usually not covered by most benchmarks.
    Plus, if I remember right the 360 had the better GPU whilst the PS3 had the better CPU with the cell processor. May be wrong on that count though.

    You're right about the PS3 & 360 GPU. The increase in clock speed on the One is actually 150Mhz, I posted 100Mhz earlier but it was wrong.

    Sorry lads both wrong there. The PS3 GPU was far more advanced than the 360 GPU. It had far more CU cores and shader units than the 360 and should have stomped it but the 360's eDRAM set up gave it an advantage in a few areas and with most third party developers.
    I don't know why people still argue about the specs. It's clear the PS4 is more powerful, it's evident in the games, and on paper. Just leave it and enjoy the games on X1 anyway. The difference shouldn't be enough to stop you from enjoying them.

    I'm not being a fanboy, I don't own either console and would definitely get a PS4 over a XBox One since it has the potential to offer far more down the line catering to my tastes but the thing is it's not clearly evident which console is more powerful. It's more than likely that both will end up excelling in different areas. It's far too early to make a definitive statement like that. It's just plain wrong to definitely state one is better than the other at this stage and more than likely it will end up that neither one or the other are better at everything. As comparison the PS3 from digital foundries articles at the same point in its life cycle was an utter disaster compared to the 360.

    Wow, thank you for your honesty.

    Its the same stuff time and time again , it was not so long ago wii u was labelled weaker than ps3 and 360 or equal to last gen hardware because quick awful ports were ported over to it at launch.

    Too soon to say what is going to be stronger , I cannot wait till games come out so we can actually have a conversation about games than stupid resoultion and fps

    Didn't Microsoft pay a bunch of YouTube reviewers to give good Xbox one reviews months ago? Remember it sparked a big debate on here.

    Yes through machinima,they got a fair bit of flak over it!

    In fairness i think the clause was not to talk about the things they didnt like,only to talk about the things they did like. Thus making the reviews terribly unbalanced.

    They all seem to be at it,EA has that ronku program as well. Another very dishonest and distasteful program.

    Im off topic here but If anything Jack frags is probably the only full time battlefield commentator who is always criticising EA and dice.He already made a video explaining the situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=311tmt063hw

    Chicken is the far superior choice. It has way better exclusives (wings, thighs, drumsticks, breasts etc.) Also, the American butchers tried to put up that ridiculous DRM policy (Don't request more). Like, seriously? If I want more, I'll buy more. They were fairly quick about doing a 180 on it though, thankfully.

    Not imo,he only revealed the ronku link after all the criticism about the MS and Machinima situation.

    Ive seen the video,also only released after the uproar.

    Each to there own man,its just my opinion. This is something that will divide people as its a personal thing. I think he got caught out.

    The eDRAM and the unified memory on the 360 was it's biggest advantage but the stating that the Ps3 had far more CU cores and shader units than the 360 is bull****.

    Chicken only runs at 2kilos, whereas pork runs at many multiples of that. And can chicken run my favourite application? Pulled Pork? Not a hope! You're just a Nandos fan boy!

    Yep I was getting ahead of myself. The Ps3 had the advantage with it's shader pipelines which while it didn't have as many as the 360 it's pipelines were far more efficient giving it a big advantage in that area. It also helped that the SPUs of the CPU could be used like extra cores to take some work away from the GPU.
