GT6 will be ported to PS4 later on after the bugs has been ironed out on PS3 release.
I'm pretty sure it's slightly more difficult to develop for the ps4 than the xbox one because of the fact that xbox uses directx while ps4 uses opengl. The majority of people games run on directx so it probably takes a little more time to convert of you're developing with a custom engine for ps4.

when the consoles come out they will already be outdated

PS4 doesn't use OpenGL. [URL="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-how-the-crew-was-ported-to-playstation-4"]It has its own graphics library,[/URL] and according to devs it's not too dissimilar from DX11.
[quote=Eurogamer]A more crucial issue is that, while the PS4 toolchain is designed to be familiar to those working on PC, the new Sony hardware doesn't use the DirectX API, so Sony has supplied two of their own.
"The graphics APIs are brand new - they don't have any legacy baggage, so they're quite clean, well thought-out and match the hardware really well," says Reflections' expert programmer Simon O'Connor.[/quote]
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;42188396]they're console boxes who cares[/QUOTE]
I care OK, I love doing videos of UNBOXING. Half of the videos run time is dedicated to examine every detail of box before slowly opening it.
Fixed it.

[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;42180903]forza 4 has nice models but the lighting is so bad
even what they showed for forza 5 had bad lighting and shadows

I sometimes feel like I am the only person who doesn't notice these kinds of things
Nor really care unless it is super obvious
Personally to add my two cents to the boxes the PS box looks like a pretty generic console box with flashy stuff and shit, although the Xbone one looks like someone overused CTRL + V in MS paint

To me that doesn't look like something to play games on

It looks like the box I bought my home theater -system in. Except quite a bit smaller, I hope.

What does something do to look like you can "play games on it"? There's a controller, there's a disc drive and it's a black box. Same thing with the PS4.

Minimalistic design isn't something that appeals to me when it comes to games.
It doesn't feel very welcoming.
It sounds like they are saying: "This is our product and you will enjoy it" in a very monotone voice.
The xbox360 box looks pretty welcoming
And so does the ps4 one.
(I have mixed feelings with the ps2 box.)
I don't know why you would ever buy an Xbone at launch, when it's obviously going to receive a hardware update in the future to keep up as developers push the limits of the existing hardware.

The PS3 is pretty sexy but the Xbox 360 is pretty turdy-looking imho. The PS2 was pretty cool as well, especially the slim version.

I liked that one.
I weren't really a fan of the blue box.
The yellow one looked nice.

would have to be a colossal moron to spend millions making a slightly better console when you already have one that's pretty good.
and i think it's bad buying [I]any[/I] console at launch because that's when they cost the most and have the least amount of games.
[QUOTE=Rossy167;42189288]You lost me at "Halo 4 looks great"[/QUOTE]
Halo 4 may be absolutely terrible, but that doesn't mean the people who made it are. And when I say people who made it, I don't mean plot writers, artistic directors, pr, and other people that wrecked a potentially good Halo, I mean the modelers, coders, mappers, etc, they made a really beautiful game (again not really plot or artistically wise) on a 7 year old console that wasn't even great when first released. I wish those people could have been put to better use, but the people forcing Halo in a direction it didn't want to go in was what really ruined Halo 4.

I can think of a few games involving bones...
