inFAMOUS: Second Son to Conquer GDC with 4 Panels; Will Explain the PS4 GPU's Asynchronous Compute

If you want to know more about the upcoming PS4 exclusive inFAMOUS: Second Son the Games Developers Conference that will happen between March 17th and March 21st in San Francisco seems to be the perfect place.

A whopping four panel focused on the upcoming PS4 exclusive have been announced, mostly focusing on its advanced engine.

Of particular interest will be the panel on the particle system, that will focus on the console’s GPU asynchronous compute features, that are still a mystery for many.

I just pre-ordered my collector's edition for this game. Really excited. I wanna see those particle effects, destructible environments and sandbox freedom.

Anyway, can you see civilians in the streets like in GTA? Cause I just wanna blast them off and make fun.

xHeavYx4492d ago

I don't think I've seen civilians yet, but in previous games you could blast them

Sevir4492d ago

Lol, you must not have been paying attention. Every video shown for this game has had civilians in it.

xHeavYx4492d ago

@Sevir
Cutscenes maybe, but the gameplay didn't show any civilians (unless of course, you can share a helpful link)

MasterCornholio4492d ago

Nice Cerny did talk a lot about compute so I can't wait to see a demonstration of it. Also does anyone know if Microsoft will demonstrate Xbox Lie Compute at GDC?

Eonjay4492d ago (Edited 4492d ago )

LOL no. From what I understand Microsoft's GPU is also capable of compute, its just not nearly as powerful as what the PS4 can do with 64 compute ques and 'volatile bit', which can tag certain lines in the L2 cache as compute so no unnecessary overhead needs to be used to manage what is used for graphics and what is used for compute. And finally, the fact that the GPU in the ps4 has more processors period means that PS4 completely destroys Xbox in terms of compute.

GPU compute is vital because you can process CPU like tasks are far greater speeds. This allows you to render more detail in to every frame, draw the frame faster (no need to wait for CPU) and reassign the CPU to other tasks if necessary.

MasterCornholio4492d ago

I meant Xbox Live Compute not Xbox Lie Compute.

Sorry

:(

Eonjay4492d ago

@MasterCornholio

Well, I'm not sure what their schedule has in store this year but they could do a demonstration showing Titanfall running on the system and then show how the AI performance is enhanced using server based AI computation.

gazgriff2k124492d ago

PS4 GPU compute destroys xbox cloud compute. sorry microsoft try again

kingPoS4492d ago

Xbox Live compute? I'm not sure what would matter more, latency or upload speed?

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_drake675d 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_corn675d 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.

Cacabunga674d ago

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

OtterX675d 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. :)

thejigisup674d ago

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

neutralgamer1992674d ago

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

RaidenBlack675d 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_Man3000674d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx674d ago

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

fr0sty674d ago

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

DivineHand125675d ago

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

DazaMc674d ago

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

ChasterMies675d ago (Edited 675d 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.

Tacoboto674d ago (Edited 674d 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.

jznrpg674d ago

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