Full on PS3 emulation would require more horsepower than PS4 has under the hood. PS3's architecture is quite different than X86 and is not easy to emulate. It can be done, but it would likely have to be released on a game-by-game basis rather than a one size fits all emulator like you seem to be hoping for.

It's the same reason they couldn't replace PS2 emulation fully when PS3 had its PS2 guts removed in the later models. Emulation isn't easy.

Telling a PS4 it needs to slim down could be dangerous, it's already pretty skinny as it is, don't want to make it get all anorexic.

Should lead to a price cut too.

would look ok as a ps3 game.

It's obvious that their costs are still quite high per system. Perhaps their shareholders are not happy with this price cut being a permanent thing so soon, so they're doing the best they can with these limited promotions. That would also explain them only doing the promotion in their strongest territory, so they can still make an attempt at more NPD bragging rights even if they lag behind elsewhere. The gaming media doesn't care, to them it's a US only game when it comes to s...

lol, thanks for that laugh nuggets of brown.

"This game sold well because it had good graphics! It wasn't panned by a biased gaming media site! People bought it anyway, because obviously they're stupid and only buy stuff that is pretty no matter how boring it is to play. And, if it is boring, they don't tell their friends about it."

I'm on a low sodium diet, so I'll have to skip any similar comments from now on.

Enjoy those 12 channels.

Are you really bragging about a demo of a building, connected to servers in the next room (not over real world internet connections), running at 720p and 30 frames per second?

Or maybe you're bragging about that amazing cloud AI in titanfall that made those cannon fodder AI enemies so easy to kill.

Meanwhile, Sony actually does use the cloud to improve their gaming experience, enabling share play, PS Now, etc. in our consoles RIGHT NOW.

kudo, probably the biggest joke in the gaming industry. No surprise to see that cheeseball hyping up nothing.

I can't take someone with a console name in their username as objective in the console race. You are as biased as they come, just admit it. I have a heavy PS bias, but I'm willing to admit it in addition to being willing to accept when Sony screws up or when they fall behind. However to make multiple accounts just to spam a gaming forum with supposedly unbiased reviews promoting the console you have in your username... get over yourself. you've earned that 1 bubble.

This is what I want to hear about MS. Not smoke and mirrors about specs, clouds, etc... We all know where each console stands as far as that goes at this point. Bring the games or STFU.

It does when you consider the one with the most in sales, especially when the sales are almost a 2:1 ratio, is going to have the highest chance of securing the most third party exclusives because of the larger install base.

I can't believe people even have to ask that question when the game is titled Uncharted 4: A THIEF'S END... That alone tells you it is very unlikely Drake will make it through this one.

@ Gutz

A 50% more powerful GPU and far more powerful RAM is not equal to a slightly more powerful CPU (even that is debatable, as PS4's CPU has some advantages X1's does not and those extra compute units on the GPU can perform CPU tasks also).

4180d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

I don't need to bother quoting any articles... I have real world results on my side. PS4 has consistently outperformed Xbox One since launch, end of story. The box isn't as powerful and never will be. Any advantages it does have are bottlenecked into non-existence by the ESRAM and slow memory bandwidth, not even mentioning the 50% fewer compute cores, or the fact that it has half the render output pipelines, fewer texture units, far fewer ACE's for GPGPU tasks, etc...

4180d ago 2 agree4 disagreeView comment

The GPU is a significant amount higher powered. As is the memory bandwidth. Unless you consider double this number or triple that to be insignificant. However, I made no mention of other components, like the CPU, that limit both consoles to hit a ceiling that is usually just a 30-50% jump in resolution or framerate between the two, so my point still stands. The article asked if the Xbox One with any amount of its cores being freed up could be more powerful than a PS4, which it cannot. It can&...

You're going to cry when you realize that Xbox One already struggles to render one HD frame at a decent framerate, and will struggle even harder to render the 2 needed at a fast framerate which will be required for VR.

The significantly weaker GPU and much slower bandwidth RAM say no.
