But, as I know making games for multiple targets, you create assets once and downscale them to suit various platforms. If all targets are essentially the same...
"if publishers see a way they can charge us more in the future you can be damn sure they will. "
Surely if they can see ways to spend less to create more, that's how they'll go forward?
"The cost of game development for this new generation is only going to increase" - why should it when the basic architecture of the main three platforms (PC, ps4, xbox one) is essentially the same?
So much more versatile and appealing to me than the "digital future" that has you go to a friend's house who owns the same console as you, sign in to their machine with your profile, download the games (potentially for hours) and finally you're allowed to play...
Instead just plug this thing in, pair it with your pads and away you go, playing the games stored on your machine at home. That's win.
"The only thing I can think is that Sony saw the Ouya and GameStick and decided it had to do something similar."
The only thing I can think reading this article is that the author missed loads of features, didn't once mention ps4 streaming or the TV-side stuff.
Very poor work.
You said it was wishful thinking, I said it was your wishful thinking.
Show me where I 1) said I cared either way 2) even mentioned ps4 or 3) said it was "MS exclusive".
Don't worry, I won't bother waiting, you're probably off raging at someone else in some other topic already.
@H0RSE it looks more like wishful thinking on your part wanting it to stay "exclusive" to PC, xbox 360 and xbox one.
Remember what the dev said...
"it's definitely not out of the question..." we want to make everybody happy, but this is where we're at right now." - Joel Emslie, Respawn.
Looks like it'll be a dust and fingerprint magnet just like ps3 phat.
Yep, looks like a Sony D-series :)
@No_Limit I like his playful messaging as usual, of course there is more to come!
ps You just *wish* he gave a "straight to the fact no BS answer"
@Timmey but he did say:
"I think, ideally, in a perfect world, you want the best machine that ships first, that's cheapest"
Nice one, Jack - enjoying this perfect world!
But if you take off those ryse-tinted spectacles you'll see that some of the above is just wishful thinking.
Ryse looks of all the world like a 70-75% game all day long... but then, just like yourself, I haven't played the final game so let's just leave it there.
It's Yoshida, of course he is, he's the best at it - TLG confirmed!
Exactly, yet another reason why this will be great value... there must be maybe a dozen great Vita games sitting in some people's ps+ accounts unused "just incase" they buy a Vita.
danny's 2nd link is broken (extra ".") but here's the text from the PDF:
PS Vita TV will also support PS4™ remote play and Wireless Controller
(DUALSHOCK®4) through future system software update*4
. This will allow users to
enjoy most of the PS4™ games on PS Vita TV as if they are playing it on the PS4™
system.
@badboy776 she's not taken her Vita TV anywhere, that's still at home with her ps4. She's resuming a game she was playing on ps4 or ps Vita TV streamed from ps4 via her 3G Vita.
@Kingthrash360 - Vita TV is the answer to AppleTV, Amazon's game/TV droid device (and the rest) and also that rumoured mini360 gaming/streaming device.
It's also the answer to expanding the Vita user base. It's also the answer to expanding the Vita games library. It's also the answer to deciding whether to buy a 2nd ps4 for a 2nd room. It's also the answer to people like me who get hand cramps trying to play button & stick games on Vita after 20 minute...
Knack might be on ps+ by then anyway... and damn, Psycho Break look great!
"HDD: The 120GB HDD is more so for gamers so they don't have to buy an external" - but what will they fill 120GB with exactly? Games don't install for quicker loading times - see Blacklist.
"Sales: I feel the Wii U will hit at least 30 million." - Well we're both just offering opinion there, I can't see it beating the fairly impressive GC that had stacks of top titles.

That reverse trophy support is something I missed, I'll have to go check that out, thanks for the tip.
And thanks for all the positive feedback above, wasn't expecting it but appreciate it, cheers.
