Otacon wrote: » The Ps4's interface is far better than the XBO's, not just becuase it is faster but because the design is far more considered on the PS4 than on the One. Numerous podcasts I listen to, like the Giantbombcast and the Super Joystiq podcast, mention how unwieldy the XBO interface is without voice commands, how poorly the Snap feature is implemented (unable to change sound settings etc.) and how difficult it is to find anything in the Friends and Followers section. While relatively basic and not without issues itself, the PS4 UI is easy to use and (IMO at least) elegantly put together.

The kinect 2.0 is far superior to the first one which wasn't worth getting in my experience, though I never owned one. Also, my Oculus Rift SDK is due on monday woop woop :pac:

Sony is pushing the trackpad and all their first party was made to use it, just like the sixaxis, in order to push the idea, but that didn't work. If MS themselves can't produce a game to utilise the kinect in any meaningful way, they ever will. Kinect is a gimmick and useless for serious games.
Techniques07 wrote: » In your opinion though. Different people would think of different games as "serious". Time will tell.
_Redzer_ wrote: » BF, halo, uncharted and those games would be serious. Kinect sports, on-rail games, not so much.

FAILSAFE 00 wrote: » Yawn, you need to read up. The Twitch app is for watching streams. I happy to educate you, but its getting old.
RasTa wrote: » So how do you steam? Logic dictates you would use the app no?
FAILSAFE 00 wrote: » I'll have to simplify it for you. There are people who like to watch Twitch TV, they achieve this by using Twitch apps on many devices that allow them to view steams. The function of a Twitch app on Xbox One and other devices is to watch streams. Please tell me you finally get it lol. I am not a special educational teacher unfortunately. Sorry.
Techniques07 wrote: » As I said before, I use the kinect all the time on BF4 and miss not having something like it for when I play on PC. Being able to lean anywhere and voice command to other players what I need without scrolling through options saves time and gets me killed a lot less. We'll see what they do with halo.
