Sonys PS4 is made with the blood and tears of unpaid blackmailed student laborers

This November, the PS4 and Xbox One will herald the eighth generation of console gaming, bringing more hardware horsepower to living room gamers than ever before. Unfortunately, a new report suggests that all that horsepower is the result of the blood and tears of unpaid student interns.

Valves Steam Box isnt a PS4 or Xbox One killer
2013-10-08 19:08:00| Extremetech
The number of voices singing Valve's praises has been enormous, and with good reason. Valve is moving in a really interesting direction, and nobody can claim that it's playing it safe. Even so, the amount of cheerleading being done about the superiority of the so-called Steam Box has gotten out of control. While a nice PC made of off-the-shelf parts can usually outperform consoles, the high barrier to entry and fast-paced upgrade cycle will make the average gamer scoff.
PS4 DualShock 4 works with Windows PCs, Sony keeping eye on Steam Box
2013-10-07 16:21:09| Extremetech
One of the biggest brand advantages Microsoft has over Sony during the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation is its controller. Love the Xbox 360 gamepad or hate it, it works wonderfully with compatible PC games -- simply plug and play. Meanwhile, Sony's DualShock 3 worked, but it required third party drivers. This time around, Sony is looking to get its DualShock 4 into the world of PC gaming, and will make its controller work with PCs right out of the box.
Xbox One Kinect can understand two people speaking at once, PS4 counters with camera bundle

With the impending launch of the Xbox One, it seems that Microsoft is gearing up to make the new version of the Kinect actually work as advertised this time around. Supposedly, the next-gen Kinect is capable of understanding two people at the same time. It sounds very impressive, but it remains to be seen if this will lead towards exciting new kinds of games, or if it's all just doubletalk.

PS4 and Xbox One: The diminishing returns of next-gen console graphics
2013-09-30 20:33:37| Extremetech
While the PS4 and Xbox One boast hardware specs that are much more powerful than their predecessors, the actual difference in visual quality between the PS3 and PS4 or Xbox 360 and Xbox One will be minimal. We would be much wiser to focus on other attributes that aren't yet affected by the diminishing returns of faster chips, such as AI and art direction, but we'll soon see if developers and publishers feel the same way.
