The PS4 games were run on PS4s or on development kits, not on high end PCs. http://www.playstationlifestyle.net...n-pcs-with-nvidia-cards-bodes-ill-for-launch/

You know what's REALLY funny about this? It appears to be running Windows 7. 7... not 8.
I think MS has analysed the stats it gets back from the 360 user group and it's found that games and gamers are not its bread and butter anymore.
I bet they make far more from the subscription services and media side than they do the gaming nowadays and if thats not the case then it's going to be in just a few years time.
Hence why the Xbone is so media heavy. The money isnt in games going forward.
MS isnt looking to EA and the like for its revenue streams going forward.
For me a media box that can also play games on the side is perfect for me.
The Xbone might not sell as many as the PS4 but MS will be making more revenue per box over its lifetime than Sony will I bet.
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Michael Wilford, Studio Director of Twisted Pixel Games, said the hardware running his game at the show was the decision of his company, not Microsoft. He also told Jonathan Blow to blow it out his ass for criticizing the hardware his team is using to demo the game.
So, what we have here is simply a matter of a developer that chose to run his game on hardware / software of his choice. Everyone can quit freaking out now. Wow.
So why bother buying his game if he is running it on hardware that isn't going to be what's in the box? Not even close. I bet Microsoft must have paid him off to say that. Lol, my 2 cents.
"Its not our fault the game demo's were running on vastly superior machines to make them look and sound as good as possible! Its the publishers!"
I'm really getting tired of this game of "ITS NOT MY FAULT!" being passed around here, somebody needs to suck it up and admit they messed up.

Microsoft CEO's through -ALL- of E3 were proclaiming "ALL GAME DEMO'S ARE RUNNING ON XBOX ONE HARDWARE!"
Which after being outed as -BULLSHIT- has changed too "ALL GAME DEMO'S WERE RUNNING IN EQUIVALENT PC HARDWARE"
Which after -THAT- was outed as even more bullshit by these pictures showing game demo's running on GTX 780's, which is more then 6x the power of whats in the XBOX One or PS4
THIS is what everyone is mad about. SONY to my knowledge did not say the games were running on PS4's
Who really cares? Don't these whiny crying idiots know by now that PC, PS4 and Xboned are one in the same?
There is no such thing as a port now ... get it! Got it? Good!
Which matters little to me if they don't have any good games. I rather play on the superior platform.
All console games are made on PC and tested on a PC, then ported onto the console. This is just a dev box. No story here. Move along.

What you apparently do not understand about virtual machines is that the VM "emulates" a limited set of the host OS's hardware.
The host pc can be 10x as powerful, but the VM is running on a specific amount of cpu/gpu power. Why do you think virtualization is such a big deal now? You can run 10 virtual servers on 1 physical server. And the CPU and RAM of the host os can be divided up among those 10 however you wish. VM1, 1 cpu core, 1gb ram. VM2, 2 cpu cores, 4gb ram. VM3, 1 cpu core, 768mb ram. etc. etc.
They are emulating xb1 hardware on a pc.
Still not a big deal.
You actually think you can code a game on a console?
THIS.
Not to mention, true dev kits do not grow on trees, if a company is in development of a game do you really think they would waste a dev kit on E3? A test kit would normally be sent but I haven't seen or heard of any of those coming in yet so I'm assuming that they will not be released until closer to console launch. So much ignorance spewed about a non-issue.
That would be true if all platforms shared the same APIs. They don't. They all have the same CPU architecture, their processors have the same endianness and all platforms use rasterizing GPUs with support for programmable shading. Lots of things are the same, but just as many things are different.Who really cares? Don't these whiny crying idiots know by now that PC, PS4 and Xboned are one in the same?

Michael Wilford sounds like a dick
