Man, there are a lot of issues with the PS4s...makes you really wonder about how the XboxOne launch is going to go...

 

I've been looking a lot of building a steambox, even though valve is still vague on the details of the OS, and I'm still coming in above the $550 or so.  My hang up is the processor.  I love the Intel 3350P.  Great value ivy bridge processor.  The AMD APUs always interest me with their good integrated graphics, but they still become a bottleneck at 1080p (from what I've read online).  While the AMD 7850 is still a great card, the rest can fall inline to keep me under that budget.

 

I did read something interesting though about the Linux issue.  It was in regards to developer support in porting their games to linux.  Seems to me that could be an issue.  Well "could" is something that gets thrown around A LOT in these kind of transition days for the PS4, Xbox One, and Steam Box.

 

After checking out the PS4 in best buy yesterday, I'm way cooled off.  Sure it looks nice, but is it $400 nicer?  Most important to me is it fun?  Does it bring more to the table in terms of cool game play?  I read where the xbox one will use the kinect to track your leaning while you play a FPS, and your character can actually lean that way.  If true, that's a step.

Here is a friend and I playing split-screen COD.  For those familiar with the game, maybe you can tell a difference here or there but I can't from the current gen game.  No big deal, I completely expected a port.

 

This streaming and video capture feature is definitely the bee's knees, though.

I guess I don't understand steambox. Its just a pc you hook up to your tv? Can't you do that with a long hdmi cable or even wireless hdmi?

 

they're cutting microsoft out of the pc biz because of windows 8

 

but yeah, you can build your own steam machine, or go buy a dell and put the Steam OS on it and call it a steam machine

 

what it is, is an entirely open platform console

Oh i see, there is a steam OS. Linux based I assume? Pretty cool. I have an extra box I may try it out on.

 

Also, probably could cut down on cheating SOB morons on Call of Duty. :(

here's the big issue:   linux doesn't support directx.   yet.

 

if they can solve that, they'll have everything they need to be successful.

 

also, you could just dual boot with Steam OS, that's what i plan on doing

 

you can also use a cheaper pc/steam machine (there will be multiple models made by multiple manufacturers) to stream games from your gaming rig to the living room

 

they're really just trying to shove Windows out of the picture, and they might just take a chunk out of playstation and xbox when they do it

 

they also have their own controller that uses trackpads instead of joysticks

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
