Do you also play with non-PlayStation devices? Do you enjoy playing as a plumber saving a princess? Or some bald marines? Or maybe you want to play using the touchscreen?
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lead engine programmer Balazs Torok has said the forthcoming DirectX 12 update will not help the Xbox One reach 1080p, something that gamers had been hoping for. Many titles run at a slightly lower resolution on the Microsoft console, Bungie’s Destiny being one of the few that matches the output of the PlayStation 4.
“I think there is a lot of confusion around what and why DX12 will improve. Most games out there can’t go 1080p because the additional load on the shading units would be too much. For all these games DX12 is not going to change anything,†said Torok.
“They might be able to push more triangles to the GPU but they are not going to be able to shade them, which defeats the purpose,†he added.
Stardock Entertainment’s CEO, Brad Wardell, expressed a similar sentiment in April this year, suggesting “The PS4 hardware is substantially better overall,†and that Microsoft’s choice of memory was to blame.
Developers are continually improving the efficiency of their game engines so the Xbox One may eventually match the PS4 but it looks like DirectX may not be the solution everyone was hoping for. Microsoft recently allowed developers to drop Kinect support within games in exchange for a small boost in power which should also help in the quest for 1080p.

I don't think it's that simple, some games can have a good xbox 360 port (titan fall had a good one), but games like sunset overdrive (with the amount of stuff that goes on, particle effects, monsters, etc) would have to be gimped pretty bad to have it for the 360 -- trying to budget the limited RAM of the ps360 for games like that would be a nightmare -- another fine example would be Arkham Knight.
That's why we're getting two different assassin's creed games, there seems to be so much more going on in Unity compared to past AC games that I doubt the resolution is their biggest issue in bringing a game of that scale to the previous generation.
I was slightly disappointed at what they showed off with quantum break, some stuff looked cool and the graphics were freat, the footage didnt really excite me as much as i thought. Maybe i expected too much, but still hyped for QB!
I might get an xbox one after seeing this.. one reason.. Halo Master Chief Collection.. Hundreds of Maps on MP and remastered version of 4 Halos.. MS really knows how to play its competition.
I played Halo 1.. One of the best games I have ever played in my life..

^ There's no official microsoft support in the Philippines, so the best you're going to get is a 1 year service warranty from retailers like DB and Itech.
If you go for the Kinectless Xbox One, mas mura siguro dito brand new, most likely tatapat sa price ng PS4s dito na non-Sony warranty (17,000-19,000)
Grabe snub ang launch ng xbox one dito, ganda pa naman ng day one bundle nila, plan to get one sana pero im not a fan of FPS game kaya siguro in future nalang pag meron ng gears or some exclusive games that will have my interest
1. Japan is a playstation country. Launching the xbox there would be like launching ice in antarctica.
2. Launching almost a year after the official launch? Duh, M$.
They would have done better by launching here in the philippines.
