Um site portugues ?

" it is not difficult to reach the conclusion that this announced increase of 4X is one of the biggest PR blunders ever."

See cloud doesn't give you more performance.Just more small calculations, no more performance, no more distance view.

That's juts Microsoft finding an excuse in case ps4 had a more powerfull hardware. Which indeed happen.

darthv724692d ago

it doesnt give a direct performance increase but an indirect increase. Offloading some of the menial tasks can give a perceived increase in performance.

the difference could be minimal but we dont know to what extent how much power the cloud will process in relation to the power of the system playing the game directly. Im sure they have been working on this for some time so we will have to wait and see.

I like the idea of playing the game and the cloud doing background processing. PS4 is going to be using gaikai to stream certain games but it wont be the direct platform doing the work other than input for control.

Sony can transition gaikai to do something very similar to retail games if they want to. So while it seems like a way out there marketing ploy....it could turn out to be beneficial depending on the games that are designed to incorporate both physical and cloud processed play.

pedrof934692d ago

Yeah but M$ said it would make XONE 4 times more powerfully.

This is misleading publicity.

The xbox one hardware haven't been finalized. The only thing folks are still using those esrly specs from vgleaks.
The author of the article didnt do much resesrch on the CPU while both are x86 thex1 is a beefed up AmD Kaveri the ps4 is based off the Kabini. Directx 11 .2 can't be done in Open GL..

WickedLester4692d ago (Edited 4692d ago )

I keep reading that the Xbone hardware hasn't been finalized but I'm not buying it. If MS hopes to make launch this holiday season those systems have to be going into production now! Plus every improvement/revision that MS would be doing would only be driving the cost of the system up further. There is no way in hell the hardware is still undergoing revisions at this stage of the game.

FrigidDARKNESS4692d ago

The hardware to be finalized and unveil next month on Aug.27 at the Hotchips symposium.
This is the same event they used back in 2005 when they unveiled the final specs and architecture of the x360 .

medman4692d ago

Thank you for exhibiting a certain level of common sense, Wickedlester. Folks don't seem to understand how the research and development or the manufacturing process works.

Smoovekid4692d ago (Edited 4692d ago )

What is your source?

I would like to know. lol

Hicken4692d ago

Do you honestly think they'll be able to me ANY kind of demand if they allow just three months for production? Does that make any business sense to you?

kneon4692d ago

Why would you want to do Directx over OpenGL? That would be silly, you've got OpenGl then use it as is. Directx doesn't buy you anything, it's just another API. They each have their strengths but one is not vastly superior to the other.

The article is wrong on the GPU. MS Gpu will be be custom based off AMD Radeon next generation graphics technology GCN 2 .0

MysticStrummer4692d ago

"They're strategy is to keep Sony in the dark to keep them guessing what the final hardware will be like."

I guess you'd better keep your inside knowledge about the GPU to yourself then.

skept3k4692d ago

I don't understand how the system specs cannot be final yet. Are they going to wait until the last minute to start producing the consoles?

FrigidDARKNESS4692d ago

MS has said this is a marathon not a sprint. They're strategy is to keep Sony in the dark to keep them guessing what the final hardware will be like.

skept3k4692d ago (Edited 4692d ago )

Why does Microsoft need to keep Sony in the dark regarding the Xbox One hardware specs? Sony has already confirmed the PS4 hardware specs so I don't see what they have to gain.

They are keeping the consumers in the dark.

WickedLester4692d ago (Edited 4692d ago )

Uh, I have news for you. Sony is not "guessing" at anything. At this point Sony is focused on Sony, not MS. I don't think they give 2 shits about what MS is doing with their hardware. If MS truly is delaying hardware finalization just to "keep Sony guessing" then that shows you how misguided they really are.

Oh and hardware may very well be unveiled in August but that doesn't mean they're waiting to finalize it by then. All you need to do is read what's inside the final dev kits and you'll know what's in the console. Xbox fans secretly hoping that MS is hiding specs for some big "shock the world" unveil is simply grasping at straws.

medman4692d ago

Listening to their pr people, Microsoft is doing a pretty good job of keeping their own people in the dark. Good luck with that.

kneon4692d ago

The main specs have all be final for a while now, certainly the CPU and GPU have been nailed down. The lead time to get chip production up and running is too long to wait until the last minute.

PSN_ZeroOnyx4692d ago

And the xbox bro's go into defense mode.

PS, any changes to hardware this close to launch WILL result in a timely delay. These aren't games, they need months to produce them in large quantities. If M$ isn't already producing then they are in big trouble.

PSN_ZeroOnyx4692d ago

Also, any changes to the hardware will affect all games in development and cause developers time and money to get their game up and running again, some of which will miss launch dates. It would screw the developers who are already spending too much money on their respective titles.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot16d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose17d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE17d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername16d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy17d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde16d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8616d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8616d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300017d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7716d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
