I wonder how much of the system memory that fancy Xbone switching OS is going to use, not to mention the new Kinect...

Seems like a 5-3 gb splipt between games and OS.

Hah, I'm getting €499 on that website. Even placeholder prices are shitty for the EU.

Kotaku: PC FIFA Won't Get EA Sports' Next-Gen Engine

We've seen this before with EA having their 'Madden-Infinity Engine' not work on Wii U.

joystiq: No Infinity Engine, Ultimate Team in Madden NFL 13 on Wii U

And if this is the case, maybe their Iginte Engine won't work with Madden, NBA Live, and NHL on PC this year.

Madden and FIFA have always interested me, on PC. Like would a 'high-res' PC version from this year, 'look better, but different' than an Next-Gen-Ignite version?. Interesting. I mean what with Origin sort of releasing these, its sort of interesting now. Thoughts?

The new PES will be using the Fox enginge... just sayin'...

Eurogamer has what looks like a pretty in-depth and well researched article on the specs.

One of the more interesting bits in the aricle:

"In terms of the GPU hardware, hard information was difficult to come by, but one of the engineers did let slip with a significant stat - 768 operations per clock. We know that both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are based on Radeon GCN architecture and we also know that each compute unit is capable of 64 operations per clock. So, again through a process of extrapolation from the drip-feed of hard facts, the make-up of the One's GPU is confirmed - 12 compute units each capable of 64 ops/clock gives us the 768 total revealed by Microsoft and thus, by extension, the 1.2 teraflop graphics core. So that's another tick on the Durango leaked spec that has been transposed across to the final Xbox One architecture and the proof we need that PlayStation 4's 18 CU graphics core has 50 per cent more raw power than the GPU in the new Microsoft console."

50% more powerful GPU (still a rumour, but stronger now) in combination with GDDR5 > DDR3 makes me wonder how the two consoles will compare price-wise.

As a former blue name who is blatantly rooting for Sony I have to say that this doesn't seem like too big of a deal to me. I can't think of a normal situation I would be in where I both want to play my Xbox, and do not have access to the internet for over a day. That being said, it is a slippery slope, and I see why people are worried, but this is much better than it could have been.

Microsoft servers down; moving to a new place waiting for ISP installation; living in an area with unstable internet; living in a place with plenty of wifi interference where you have to connect a cable to get online?

24 hour limit? Ha! Bring on the PS4 or, if it fucks up like Microsoft did I'm just fine with my PC.

Call of Duty looked no different to the current games (prettier, same stale 'staying safe' gameplay from what I saw, which was little) , and nowhere near as good as BF3 on PC.

Waste of time.

Not a waste of time to the 20 million+ that buy the COD's each year on consoles, this was for TV. It's was always going to go after the popular games. 15 Exclusives at E3 is what got me excited.

Yeah, but how many of those will be Kinect exclusives?

Are we using the word troll for everything now? Why not just call this a parody?

Yes we are. Also, everything is epic now. We as a people are all high on mushrooms or something.

That's why I put troll in quotations as that would be the internet fanboy response 'lul Nintendo troll Kickstarter, Ninty FTW,' never mind eh..

@video_game_king said:

It looks less like a troll and more like a playful mock. It's not criticizing the concept of crowdfunding; it's simply using that as another venue for Wario's greed.

I think they're mocking/criticising (albeit jokingly) the people who use Kickstarter, especially with the 'make my dreams come true' line. You could also argue the 'Why should I fund everything when other people will do it for me?' line is taking a dig a high celebrities or personalities using Kickstarter as a marketing tool rather than a fund raising one when they don't need the money. Imagine if Nintendo actually started a Kickstarter how insane that would be, that's the joke.

They could start a kickstarter to get some 3rd party games ported over to the wiiu.
