  • Some Xbox One game sizes revealed

    Some Xbox One game sizes revealed

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The leaked Xbox One game case back covers posted by Reddit users, reveal some interesting information, including the HUGE game installation sizes for Ryse, Dead Rising 3, and Forza Motorsport 5.

    icon_xl

    Here’s the data:

    – Dead Rising 3 will require up to 35 GB of HDD storage and will have 1-2 person co-op play over Xbox Live but no local co-op.

    – Ryse will require up to 47 GB and will feature impulse triggers and 1-2 person co-op over Xbox Live, as well as optional Kinect voice support.

    – Forza Motorsport 5 will require up to 35 GB of storage and will support Kinect voice features and force feedback wheels as well as 1-2 person local multiplayer and 2-16 players online.

    These massive installations are comparable to a few PlayStation 4 like Killzone: Shadow Fall, which will take about 39 GB of HDD storage, and Call of Duty: Ghosts, which requires a minimum installation of 49 GB.

    Also remember that PS4 hard drives are user replaceable while the Xbox One hard drive is not,though players will be able to extend storage capacity with USB external hard drives. However, that functionality won’t be available at launch.

  • Wii U has more next-gen 1080p 60fps games than Xbox One and PS4

    Wii U has more next-gen 1080p 60fps games than Xbox One and PS4

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Site Gaming Blend published a list of all the -confirmed- native 1080p 60fps titles on ’next-gen‘ consoles and, it looks like the Wii U has more of these than the Xbox One or the PS4(without counting indie titles).

    Just take a look:

    Wii U

    The Wii U has confirmed games to run native 1920x1080p at 60 frames per second: Super Smash Bros. U, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8 and Rayman Legends.

    Super Smash Bros. U was confirmed to run at 1080p, as noted on My Nintendo News. Mario Kart 8 was confirmed to run on the Wii U without a hitch at 60 frames per second when it was unveiled at E3. Bayonetta 2 was labeled 1080p at 60fps via Siliconera, and even if we want to count HD remakes for next-gen such as Wind Waker HD, Digital Trends made it known that the game is 1080p at 60fps. There’s also Rayman Legends, once a Wii U exclusive, that also runs 1080p at 60fps, as noted by Digital Foundry.

    So we have about six next-gen games running 1080p at 60fps for the Wii U, and even if you want to knock off Wind Waker HD as a remake and a game that’s not a real next-gen title, that’s fine. We still have a nice cache of games on the Wii U that are native 1080p to prove its case.

    PS4

    There are only a few games on the PS4’s side that hits 1080p at 60fps, including:

    • KillZone: Shadow Fall = 1920×1080 (MP=60fps, SP=30fps)
    • DriveClub = 1920×1080 (Targeting 60fps)
    • Flower = 1920×1080 (60fps)
    • Resogun = 1920×1080 (60fps)

    Now there’s also Warframe and DC Universe Online that are also 1080p at 60fps, but neither of those are native next-gen games; they’re ports. That would be the equivalent of looking through the Wii U’s eShop and naming all the native 1080p 60fps indie games and Wii ports, and by comparison the Wii U would wipe the floor with the competition in that regard.

    But look at that list for the PlayStation 4… while I love what Sony is doing with the console, we can see that Killzone isn’t native 60fps, but only 60fps in multiplayer with tons of downscaling of the graphics and visual effects.

    We also have DriveClub which may or may not be native 60fps, as it seems as if it’s a bit of a toss-up. There’s also Flower, but again, if we’re counting Flower then we may as well leave Wind Waker HD on the list. That means we have three-and-half games on the PS4 side running 1080p at 60fps.

    Xbox One

    On the Xbox One side it looks even worse. We have…

    • Killer Instinct = 1280×720 (60fps)
    • Forza 5 = 1920×1080 (60fps)
    • Call of Duty: GHOSTS = 1920×1080

    You may as well scratch Call of Duty: Ghosts off that list because it’s also going to be 60fps on the Wii U and PS4. That just leaves us with Killer Instinct and Forza Motorsport 5, granted only one of those games is a next-generation title at native 1080p and 60fps.

    According to the site, this leaves us with the Wii U being more next-gen than its supposed bigger, badder, next-gen competitors.
