A couple of interesting posts from kotaku regarding the next gens.

CoD: Ghosts between current gen and ps4

And another that I agree with about "resolution-gate "

As far as the steambox, I want to see more. Steam is great for what it is, but will a steambox have the same entertainment value you get out the current consoles? Right now it's a no. Have to see what happens as it matures.

Yeah, I don't think you can even begin to compare it to current gen or next gen consoles.  Its certainly unfair to the consoles.

 

Well of course!  I mean the Steambox is a modular PC.  You can put your own parts in it (from what I've read online).  So you can put some beastly AMD or Nvidia card, SSD, uber processor.  It's custom, and therefore a different income model.  The mainstream video game consoles are built differently so that M$ and $ony can sell them as cheaply by volume and still get the "next gen" thingie.

 

I am very interested in the steambox platform, but right now with it's lack of mainstream media usage (netflix, pictures, videos from my phone, ect), it's in a different classification from a PS4/X1.  After all, why not just build a gaming rig that hooks up to your TV?  You can still steam it, but also have your regular OS that can do the rest of the stuff that SteamOS can't do.

 

It's going to be interesting to see if the folks behind it are able to differentiate themselves from Sony, MS, and even Nintindo in this current game cycle.  Lord knows, we need more competition!

 

Pardon me while I got play some games on my phone =P

I was leaning toward PS4 but now will go and get an XBOX1.

I play Madden or what ever football will come out and the new PS4 controllers do not have analog buttons. That is important in Madden bc it a tap of the button will lob the football and holding it down will bullet pass it. The PS4 controller will not be able to distinguish holding or tapping....like ur mom.

Not too many other games utilize the analog abilities of the controllers so PS4 moved away from seeing it as a need.

I am intrigued by the media dedication of the XBOX after they revamped that initial disasterous reveal presentation where the policies were horrible.

XBOX online is so much smoother and if I will have to pay for online play I will go with the better online experience as PSN online has so much lag and unresolved issues.

If you want, you can dual boot.  You can build your own Steam Machine and put Steam OS on it.  They're even going to release the CAD specs so you can build a case exactly like theirs.

 

You can also buy a low end Steam Machine to stream games from your gaming rig.

 

Steam Machine will work with netflix, etc. Steam OS will be open source, so there is no limit to its potential.  I don't really use Microsoft Office.  The only reason I'm married to Windows is Direct X.

 

I'm looking for some Steam Machines with AMD processors and Radeon cards that will not only blow away Xbox One and PS4 in performance, but also undercut their prices by 50-100$.

 

Plus Steam Machine will launch with a catalog that's 300 games large.  No other next gen console can claim that.

 

The big obstacle will be getting directx to work on a linux platform, but I'm pretty sure they're going to fix that, which will bring the Steam Machine's catalog to over 3000 games.

 

Also, the ultimate in backwards compatibility.  I can play games that are 3 generations old on my pc, if I choose to do so.

 

Console manufacturers don't use specialized hardware to save money.  It actually costs them extra to do so.  They're taking a loss on the hardware.  They do it so they can keep their share of the market on lockdown.  It won't be just Steam making Steam Machines, it will be multiple manufacturers producing them, and they will be in competition with each other.  I expect there to be Asus Steam Machines, Gateway Steam Machines, etc.

 

And yes, you can upgrade them if you choose to do so.  I won't be buying one, but I will be going dual boot once Steam OS will play Direct X games.

    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
    • But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
