So then I buy a PS4 in the future.

Really though, what ****ing difference does it make why I chose one way or the other. :s

Just thought it was odd criteria. It's an expensive outlay for a system and to buy games for it.

Buying a system that has some games that interest me is odd?

So I should just be part of the hive mind and buy what everyone else is buying so that I can fit in? Is that what you are saying?

Not even close.

Are you buying a Xbox just to be a contrarian? No, of course not.

Anybody else think Sony and Microsoft are not really innovating. If we get something along the lines of the Milo demo with the new kinnect then maybe I might be tempted to buy xboxone. As it stands right now I am not interested in just a little prettier graphics. I see nothing that changes my mind.

I'd like get a PS4 due to it's purely gaming nature and cheaper price, but the PS3's crappy GUI, horrible online experience and PSN hack has me soured. Also my big hands would cramp up easily with the PS3 controller which didn't help. So I'm not sure what to do...

I also love Forza, but right now I'm going to hold on to my money. Right now it's a toss up - I feel like Microsoft has messed up big time by restricting the Xbox One so much. I'll wait for reviews for both consoles, and buy them 3-5 years down the road, most likely when there is a new hardware revision (slim model). I'm more of a PC gamer anyways, but consoles only for racing games and motion games. My 360 is still doing good.

So you're basing your entire decision on which platform to adopt by the games that we know of thus far? Seems kind of odd. What if the other platform get better services or exclusives down the line?

Possibly because that's all we have to go on right now.

DS4 is bigger, and it's going to be a new GUI. Can't help you on the hack.

Either way .. MS is working on their Head Mounted Display or Aug for the mid term life cycle and Sony gets the Oculus Rift.

This is turning interesting.

How can MS compete with the Rift ....

Nothing stopping them from supporting OR

PS4, without hesitation.

No retarded used games DRM

100$ cheaper

I can change the hard disk for a bigger one, or use a SSD instead for faster loading

No stupid online-check

No Kinect I?m forced to buy (about 100$ judging by the price they sell the One). Seriously MS, I don?t want that **** in my living room

Xbox One all the way.

Better looking console (PS4 looks like an modern PS2)

Better looking game cases (PS4 looks too generic imo)

Better user interface (PS4 UI looks like their terrible store design)

Better controller (real d pad, more comfortable face buttons, impulse triggers, no more battery buldge), Sonys has an awkward shape

Amazing Kinect integration (suspending apps and voice controlled switching between games, tv, movies)

WAY more games I actually want to play (Metal Gear 5, Ryse, Killer Instinct, Quantum Break, Dead Rising 3, Halo, Titanfall) Sony only had like 2 (Killzone and Infamous, neither are system sellers)

Xbox Gold members now get 2 free games a month

Xbox can record gameplay just like PS4. Recorded footage can be pulled down on tablets and edited on Smart Glass which is way easier to edit with. Partnership with twitch.tv for uploading videos.

The Microsoft store is switching to real money. No more MS points.

The whole ordeal with the "restrictive policies" isn't as big of a deal as people are making it. 24/hour check in allows for disc free gaming. You're either gonna check in with a disc or ping a server. The latter allows you to share your entire games library with 10 other people without requiring any discs. Kinect always being on can be controlled and allows you to start up the xbox with voice commands. Selling back games is a legitimate issue but it's one Microsoft can always change later in a firmware update.

In the year 2013, making a game that focuses only on gaming is going to fail. I don't know anyone who just plays games and doesn't also enjoy other forms of entertainment.

I wonder if we will see sentiment among the online community cool at all as we hear more from both companies about there plans.

I see all of these polls around and it reminds me that we are just two days removed from the E3 presser events. There is a lot of 'heat' right now directed at MS and Sony took full advantage with a strong pr push. The internet is known for epic blow ups, so we will see how things progress over the weeks and months leading up to launch.

As we start to hear more about games in development for both and we hear how development will work for both (we know little about MS' plans since that won't be discussed until BUILD), this fervor may start to cool down. MS has plenty of time to make some positive pr moves. If BUILD showcases a reasonable dev platform and a positive indie dev system, that will help some.

MS showed off great games, so I don't think that is the issue. They need to spread the word about positive things like game sharing and such. They need to stop coming off as arrogant and get humble as they share more.

As for my choice, I'm waiting. I'm not preordering anything. There is more I want to know first and I want to see if MS makes positive steps between now and launch. Frankly, I'd like to own one thanks to the games I have seen, but they still need to convince me. I'm a multi console owner, so I would own both eventually, but I may end up with a ps4 first.

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
