Microsoft to launch Kinect-less Xbox One console?

People who purposely try to get into a heated discussion with jms should be automatically banned. I don't think I've ever seen him get into it with anyone.

he and twigg have slap fights sometimes, thats about it...

Sometimes certain former owners of this site try to blame him for Forza wrecks.

I wreck jms once a race, he expects it now.

Berating? Y'all are exaggerating.

Read my posts. It was a point I was getting to. He made a post bout it being more powerful. I responded. I have nothing against jms. I had no idea he had no idea what he was talking bout.

That picture sums it up nicely, and if you don't understand how those numbers coupled with the resolution aspects of each console doesn't translate into a more powerful system then you shouldn't even bother arguing system vs system specs in the first place.


Also, I got to say I really appreciate this thread, lots of thanks handed out on my part lol.

The fact you went out of the way to find the comparison chart tells me you didn't even understand my point. You even bring up resolution. Just tells me you're clueless.

You thanked everybody but me. I get it. Now go way.

[JBregz]

Nothing you said was the least bit funny. I literally Googled ps4 v Xbox one specs. Not sure how thats going out of the way...You posted a video on resolution and pretend it doesn't matter. I'm clueless? Coming from the guy who can't figure out why or handle that the ps4 has stronger specs lol.

I have no issues with whatever platform you play on, but your blatant bias towards Xbox in this convo is unbelievably retarded. It'd be like if Twigg tried to deny that psn got hacked and was shutdown for a month. Anybody with computer hardware knowledge can see the differences between the two consoles specs.

So playing BF4 on both systems, you can tell the difference? If I gave you a side by side comparison of the game, no captions telling you which console is which, you can point out which game was on what console? I doubt it.



Now, XB1/PS4 and PC comparisons are obvious.

This is a XB1 thread, why are you looking for "funny" ?

Oh wait, because within mins of it being posted, knowing the trend of this site, you knew you had some "Lolz" waiting. Shit post after shit post will get posted, once one person that isn't anti MS comes in, the fingers get pointed, "Omg you're such homer"

Why would I come in this thread and not think this is good news? People wanted a kinect less XB1, they are giving it to them. Yet they get bashed for it. They got bashed for not doing it. Y'all don't give up.

They're getting bashed because people said the mandatory Kinect bundle was a mistake before the system even launched, but MS went through with it anyway.

This isn't so much bashing the decision to drop the Kinect as it is an "I told you so" moment for all of us who saw this coming a year ago.

Also lol @ this dude demanding specs from Jms and then slamming Bregz when he actually went out and found them.

Xbox One Performance Could Become More Powerful Without Kinect

Microsoft has confirmed it's talking with publishers about boosting Xbox One's graphical performance, following yesterday's news that the console will now be sold without Kinect.

Company exec Yusuf Mehdi told Polygon that discussions are ongoing about how to make it easier for developers to get more power out of the console, presumably in a bid to help it hit 1080p resolution on multiplatform titles.

"We are in discussions with our game publishers about what we might do in this space and we will have more to talk about soon," he said.

Digital Foundry has highlighted in the past that 10 percent of the Xbox One's graphic resources are ring-fenced for Kinect and apps. With the news that Kinect is now to become wholly optional for Xbox One owners, it seems the company wants to take this portion of the GPU previously focused on looking for voice commands and gestures and redistribute it elsewhere.

Microsoft's Andrew Goossen previously told the site plans were afoot for such a move, saying "In the future, we plan to open up more options to developers to access this GPU reservation time while maintaining full system functionality."

Since the Xbox One and PS4 launched last November, we've frequently seen PS4 versions of multiplatform games achieve higher resolutions and framerates than their Xbox counterparts, with Watch Dogs and The Witcher 3 being among the latest titles to be affected. Seeing as Microsoft's policy changes yesterday have tried to close the gap with Sony in all other areas, it makes sense the company will try to do the same on this front as soon as possible.

RIP, Kinect 2.0

That is interesting...what does that mean exactly? When I play game X that uses 100% of the X1's GPU will the Kinect be disabled?

While I like the fact that MS is changing their course and doing it so quickly to bring us a platform that is more conducive to hardcore gamers...what the hell were they thinking 12 months ago? Basically they are just following the path that Sony has paved this gen.

It's seems as if in the future we are going to have 2 boxes that are essentially the same. The only difference will be the handful of exclusives and the controller.

It really seems to me like Spencer came in and with basically a "fuck this, it'll look bad, but we have to fix it" attitude. Who knows what the hell they were thinking over a year ago. What a crazy situation.

Exactly. He can't be held liable for the mistakes his predecessors made prior to his being in control. I am interested to see how much additional GPU power can be leveraged by not focusing so much on the Kinect's integration into the game play environment.

You've missed my point on my OP Twice, Einstein. Google is a tough tool to use.

It's just vidya games, calm down.
