This rumor makes zero sense. The chip on the PS3 was different. The 360 different. The One and PS4 different. Why would the shrink to 14nm suddenly force a whole new console when it was already a special line? Plus moving to Zen and Polaris wouldn't be slight improvements, they would be massive improvements.

If anything this would be a voluntary move based on potential savings through bulk purchase. Remember AMD has referred to design wins, not we forced them into this. It ...

People need to be more aware when they are setting a tone. Playstation fans have been pushing the"graphics are king" idea for ten years now. GT has been one of the franchises used to showcase that idea. Now that they what to add things like weather and real-time damage physics they are having to adjust things and work out a balance between the different demands for resources.

You've focused on the graphics for years. Now you might have to realize the cost of ...

Abriael, nice damage control. No one can ever say you leave any doubt where your loyalty lies.

But whatever it looks like now shouldn't be taken as a the look of the finished product. They are usually not on any real time schedule and even if they themselves gave a release date I would take it as rumor. They will take as much time as needed to get the graphics up to par.

Again Abriael, objective article as always.

JM you're looking at the whole argument from your standpoint. You might be able to recognize the difference between 1080 and 900p. I would bet I could. But many, if not most, can't. I've seen first hand people with HD at home and a brand new higher end TV watch standard definition. Again and again. Here's something you probably know that most probably won't, most of the cable boxes on the market after 1080p broadcasting started weren't even capable of 1080p. So will wa...

Doesn't mean they will stop considering Xbox evil. Even though they don't own one or have to buy one they hate it anyway.

They're probably going to kill the Vita. Even the Go one.

Games have never caused a war. Inferiority of races and women can be linked directly to the bible. The bible says women are to be secondary and subordinate to men. Only a man with an agenda could write something that stupid. The bible also says it's okay to sell your daughter for marriage or as a slave. To be passed around from father to son to see if one likes her. The bible says that once a woman is a slave it is for life. While a man becomes free after seven years. She should be silen...

The difference is the next cards will include new architectures and HBM 2. And it will only be six months after these. Might be worth waiting since they will be as big a jump over these at additional power efficiency.

The reality is we don't know how long the missions are as Pyschotica said. It could be six overarching themes with several objectives each for eighteen actual missions. And if it last eight to ten hours it falls in line with what most are doing. There are some single player only games with only ten or twelve hours. The key for Battlefield is MP. Ten hours of SP is gravy.

Because some people, many, choose based on perception and not reality. Plus you have developers gearing code for NVIDIA cards with gameworks. But AMDs saving grace is a headstart on asynchronous compute since they pushed that direction from the start.

Can you imagine what the world would be like without douches like mogwaii. If anyone could ever be considered subhuman it is definitely the racist himself.

Yes, a two minute trailer tells the whole story. It's like a movie trailer. They look amazing and then you see the film and it's always just as amazing. They made a terrible trailer for Battlefield because it didn't include any historical information like the battle of the Somme or Verdun. Pure disrespect. They could have taught so much.

Everyone assumes this has something to do with Microsoft and it might. But there have been several companies rumored to be working on a console. Sega, Apple and Amazon have been rumored to be working on consoles. So while Microsoft is most likely the third, it could be one of the others or even a second Nintendo handheld device. But no guarantee it's for Microsoft.

The Halo multiplayer had been in development for years though. It was being used as a test bed for Project Orleans. So they had to have been working on it since 2010-11.

Since the 360 launched a year earlier that is still possible.

Consoles may become very interesting over the next few years. First I don't believe there will be any more losers. The generations are about to start overlapping each other. If Nintendo and Sony release machines this year that double the PS4. Microsoft might release in 2017 with five or six times the power. No Xbox One.5, right. We might be at a point where generations are only four or five years. Like they used to be. But sense technology changes so fast and everything starts at a profit...

Thatguy you haven't been watching Microsoft. They will spend billions and walk away months later. Look at the studio that they spent far more buying. Nokia. They spend billions each year trying stuff to walk away. Illumiroom. If it does poorly they just might clap their hands like a blackjack dealer and walk.

The thing people are forgetting is that Nintendo can not just beat them on power, they can do it cheaply. The technological changes that have taken place with efficiency of power per watt and power use will allow Nintendo to have all of the advantages of a slim model with none of the legacy to hold it back. Microsoft and Sony can make a slim model, but it has to have the same specs as the launch. Nintendo gets all of the benefits of going to 14nm including the ability to add more transistors ...

It's on PC as well. It's easily ported over. Many of these small developers will come to regret making these types of decisions later on. Unless Sony gave them financial support, not publishing to an additional twenty million people is a mistake. If the game flops, those additional sales might be the difference between the ability to make your next game and bankruptcy. If money constraints were truly that bad they would have focused on PC alone.
