inFamous Second Son's Particle Effects Compile Directly On PS4's GPU, Does Not Involve CPU At All

"Before we jump into inFamous Second Son, let’s us go a few months back. Back in June we reported that PlayStation 4′s GPU features significant customization and will be able to handle complex asynchronous compute operations some of which were originally meant for the CPU."

Never get tired of seeing that, i thought that was like a pre-made cutscene when i first saw it but it really is completely in-game. Can someone explain why it's better that those effects run on the GPU instead of the CPU? Im not the best when it comes to technical details like that.

Neonridr4549d ago

if the GPU can handle calculations and computations related to the graphics side of the game, then the CPU cores can be freed up for other applications. Ultimately it will boost performance resulting in better framerates and allowing for more complex scenarios.

@The_Klank
That was MARVELOUS! +1

ProjectVulcan4549d ago

Particles are perfect GPGPU fodder, because they are fairly simple calculations, but there are just absolutely loads of them to happen simultaneously.

Massively parallel operations then, exactly what a GPU is designed for

christrules00414549d ago

The GPU is sooo much more powerful then the CPU. Especially in the next gen consoles they are both using 8core jaguar which is basically2 tablet CPUs taped together. Since there is a lot of smaller calculations happening at the same time it takes less strain for the GPU to run it because it's so much more powerful then the CPU is.

That is also shown @The_Clank youtube video.

Lowsnamebrand4549d ago

ExitToExisT4549d ago (Edited 4549d ago )

many optimization.

ExitToExisT4549d ago

yeah of course. I guess the disagrees don't know about this meme.

Studio-YaMi4549d ago (Edited 4549d ago )

I wanna see "decrypt" the PC fanboy downplay this ..

and Sony .. you wowed me with Killzone:Shadow Fall,which is a launch title,I can't wait to see infamous:SS and other titles coming later in 2014-2015!

Uncharted 4 anyone?

MasterCornholio4549d ago

Decrypt: PFFT PC can run this game at 4k 60FPS

PS4 Owner: PC can't run this game at 4K 60FPS because its exclusive to the PS4.

Decrypt: PFFT with emulators PCs can run anything.

That would be Decrypts reply to this.

ziggurcat4549d ago

don't forget that other fool who would always run his mouth about "jaggies" and "medium settings"...

MasterCornholio4549d ago

@ziggurcat

You could run a game like Second Son on PC at 4k at 60FPS but it would take an extremely powerful system to do so which means a computer that costs over 2k to build. I know some people have super gaming PCs but the majority Dont have computers that expensive.

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake664d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn664d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga663d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX664d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup663d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992663d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack664d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000663d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx663d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty663d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125663d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc663d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies663d ago (Edited 663d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto663d ago (Edited 663d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg663d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
