PS4 vs. XBoxOne

furryoldlobster · July 20, 2015, 04:32:06 PM

I'm considering purchasing a PS4 (....it might be so I can game and use the computer at the same time...) Anyone have any experience or research regarding the matter who'd be willing to share info?

Tslat · July 20, 2015, 04:46:10 PM

Easily the better of the two "Next-gen" consoles.

I'm not sure what experience you're looking for though

steam mode using a TV and monitor set up will allow u to game and use computer.
big picture mode will give u the console experience

furryoldlobster · July 20, 2015, 11:52:33 PM

Hmmm....I'll check out steam mode.

I just like me some console play every now and then....plus no man's sky looks crazy

Xbox one has a great multimedia setup as well as they are becoming backwards compatible soon, and there are more games out of the two.

I have the One, And I'm quite disappointed. I mainly bought it because all my friends have it, but it seems to take forever to load anything for me at least. Join a party to talk to friends, wait 5 minutes before we can all connect to each other.

Yep, unfortunately this generation of "Next-Gen" consoles were outdated long before they were even released

Clay · July 22, 2015, 03:48:31 AM

In steam click on the controller in the top right of the screen (next to the X) add an HDMI cable and a TV and you have a console...

no mans sky is on PC too

Wish I could...my computer has not successfully booted since a power outage a few days ago. Won't get past the 'welcome' loading screen. I'm not happy

If they are so outdated, R.I.P. SKYRIM!
and I kind-of liked that game

I have an Xbox One, and I love it. Also, they One is getting an update to Windows 10 in November, so all the speed and usability issues will be solved.

Tslat · August 07, 2015, 05:33:16 PM

Haha lol.

Zito · August 07, 2015, 06:41:16 PM

What's so funny?

Tslat · August 07, 2015, 07:41:30 PM

Oh I was just thinking about the Windows 10 comment.

Windows 10 isn't some miracle project, nor is it much faster than Win8 at all.

The problems with the Xbox1 is hardware and firmware, not OS

Zito · August 07, 2015, 08:11:24 PM

I have seen the new Windows 10 on Xbox One and it is super fast, and very user friendly. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean the One is bad.

Tslat · August 07, 2015, 08:33:54 PM

Correlation does not imply causation Zito.

It may be more user friendly, but there's no reason as to why it would improve performance. Other factors are at play there

If that's referring to me, you'd also be incorrect

I have no biased preference for any console or system, the fact is that Windows 10 doesn't provide much, if any performance boost over windows 8, and Xbox1 has a solid reputation for having issues. (As does PS4, I should mention; just not to such an extent)

Zito · August 09, 2015, 04:40:27 PM

Xbox One isn't running Windows 8 though, so even 8 probably would have been an improvement. There are probably other factors that made it faster, but I have seen the new OS for the One, and it is miles ahead of the old one.

Toa Mata Nui 9 · September 10, 2015, 06:19:00 PM

since that question is so hard, maybe try one of these:
Xbox 360 vs. PS3
X-box vs. PS2
X-Box vs. PlayStation
_____ vs. Wii U
_____ vs. Wii
X-box vs. Gamecube
_____ vs. Gamecube
_____ vs. N64
_____ vs. Super NES
_____ vs. Nintendo Entertainment System
_____ vs. Sega Dreamcast
etc.

lol.

Aaaaah the good old Playstation vs. Xbox can of worms. Which inevitably winds up with the " Screw both and get a pc " conclusion

These days I a almost couldn't agree more... hard to leave those Indiana Jones, Star Wars The Sith Lords, and Elder Srolls games, though. Also SpiderMan 2. but all of that is besides the point I think you are trying to make. Even today's half-way decent gaming desktops are better than the X-Box -- RIP Xbox Tom Clancy game I once had, among others.... good times, good times... -- oh, sorry. Lol. #nostalgia
