PS4 OS isn't trying to reinvent the wheel of course any problems will be minor in comparison.

I imagine that the Xbone's 3 OS setup is a virtual nightmare.

And god, can you imagine how many more opportunities there will be for security leaks due to doing that shit?

Good thing they're not collecting personal data, right? (Or are they still? Gotta love trust issues...)

The embargo on console footage ends around 5pm bst tomorrow. There should be a lot of footage released then. Expect PS4 to run at 900p and Xbox One to run at 720p.

Pretty sure that they'll have an EULA on startup that signs away your implicit consent to let Kinect record you constantly for advertising data if you choose to plug your Kinect in. Or at least anytime running Microsoft games and apps (and any company that wants to do it).

Hrm, think I got CoD and BF4 mixed up. Was CoD that was confirmed by a dev.

However, PSN apparently shows BF4 at 1080p. Could be upscaled from 900p though, guess we'll find out soon.

There is this though:

Just BF4. There was a big press event last week and tons of folks got the chance to play the game on both consoles. Should be Xbox One SP footage and PS4 MP footage released tomorrow.

Hehe okay. Thought for a minute I was slipping to miss news like that.

But yeah, AFAIK it's pretty well confirmed CoD is 1080p on PS4 vs 720p on the XBone. (And so far it seems likely that BF4 is 900p vs 720p though that might change.)

I still prefer MS first part output, but I've got a PS4 preordered and wont be picking up an Xbone anywhere near launch. Sounds like they have some issues to work out.

At least we can play Titanfall on the PC.

3. Someone should go prod the Tales head about PS4 Tales. They have one in concept. So, I expect next Tales after the next PS3 Tales? Safe bet. I don't think this that big news though. Although good if you're hoping for JRPGs to arrive a little earlier this time.

Mother fucking YAY for Dragon Quest finally getting the FUCK away from Nintendo again. We haven't had a real DQ game since DQ8 on the PS2.

New Xbox Live terms ask users to commit to security, agree to share data with partners | Polygon

A new terms of use agreement for Xbox Live will roll out later this week, Microsoft announced today, one that requires its users to agree to commit to keeping their account secure and, more importantly,allow the company to share certain personal data with its partners.

Microsoft's new terms also cover what information the company can share with partners who publish apps, like HBO Go, Netflix, ESPN, Last.fm and others that require a separate user account.

I wasn't kidding about making you accept a new TOS and singing away all advertising data info gleaned from Kinect monitoring. It's coming at some point.

Fuck Microsoft. I absolutely hate that Windows is so ubiquitous and if I want to game on my PC I pretty much have to use it. Can't wait for SteamBox release.
