The ps4 is such an amazing console. Its already the most powerful console on earth and it has the best looking game graphically on the planet right now which is the order 1886. I cant believe they are improving the gpu which would mean theyd be able to have games thst look wsy better than the order 1886. Astounding.

Whenever I read comments like this one, I tend to get the impression that you're a parody account, but I'm never certain.

GameNameFame4113d ago

Well, devs actually showed hard figure to back it up.

THis is from GDC actually tested and presented by Ubisoft.

It maybe a hard truth to swallow for some people here though.

angelusbrz4112d ago (Edited 4112d ago )

He's probably trolling but he's not lying, THe PS4 is the most powerful console ever and the Order is the new benchmark for console games, deal with it.

MysticStrummer4113d ago

I agree to a certain extent. There is always improvement and this generation will be no exception, so it's not really "astounding" though I know what you mean. It's always cool to look back at the beginning of a gen from the end and see how far the visuals have come. One thing that won't change though is the hardware, which means PS4 will remain the most powerful and will always have an edge performance wise.

Azzanation4113d ago (Edited 4113d ago )

So what happens when Nintendo release the NX in a couple of years, are you going to cry because the PS4 isn't the most powerful console anymore? Power is as only as good as the games. I am sure, regardless where the PS4 sits on the power scale you will still play it, just like owners of X1 and WiiU. Games make the console not the hardware.

For the record the PS4 isn't the most powerful console in the world. Steam Box owns that title.

Yes ps4 is the best console at the moment. Anything can happen in a few years.

Why is Microsoft going to make a brand new console abandoning the Xbox One? It's not going to magically catch up, fanboy dreamers need to listen to the FACTS even MS is saying that DX12 will not improve the One that much, it will still have all the same guts....

And we know that Nintendo isn't EVER going to spend the actual money to make a console that is anywhere even close to the X1 let alone the PS4....

Steambox also is NOT a console it's a PC running their already available linux SteamOS

MS can release a 9th gen XBox sooner rather than later that has both backwards and forwards compatibility from the upcoming Cross Buy feature (thus not upsetting current XBox One owners as much when releasing 9th gen sooner) plus it should support all the Universal Apps and XBox One development tools currently being upgraded, etc. Then XBox will be the most powerful console and console platform (XBox One already is the most powerful console platform... it is capable of much more than just a few extra FPS and Ps) due to cross platform development and supporting more than just games. As for saying Sony can release sooner too, it won't matter if they're both achieving 1080P 60FPS for all games in 9th gen... XBox will be better due to easily supporting more.

7 bubbles...I'm doing this all wrong.

Spotie4113d ago

Counting, perhaps. That's only six.

MRMagoo1234113d ago

making a comment that was on topic would be a start.

gangsta_red4112d ago

@Spotie

Perhaps at the time I made the comment he had 7...hmmmm...

Letthewookiewin4113d ago

@ Captain - the X1 couldn't run The Order if it tried. It would be a slide show.

Developments like this are always welcome, regardless of which side you're on.

Anything that makes it easier and cheaper for creative studios to bring their visions to life should be welcomed by gamers.

MasterCornholio4113d ago

Well its always normal for firms to work on improving the SDK of their devices. Im really not surprised that Sony is doing this. Anyways im glad that developers will benefit from this because that in the end will make things better for gamers.

corroios4113d ago

What sony wants to improve tools and increase optmization! I thought only others could do that! This is madness? Lol.

Cacabunga60d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot59d 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…

HectixRose60d 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.

JEECE60d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername59d 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.

Soy60d ago

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

DarXyde59d 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.

Ashunderfire8659d 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.

Ashunderfire8659d ago (Edited 59d 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.

pwnmaster300060d 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.

solideagle60d 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

Relientk7759d ago

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