@Battle tom, He means the new development kit for developers that is supposed to have better tools and allow the developers to squeeze out more power.
Don't be stupid, that's clearly recorded with a butternut squash!
https://twitter.com/TimOfLe... - Straight from the horse mouth. This reply is directly in response to people asking if its going to appear on other consoles. He also made it clear that Sony helped them get this game made.
Tim confirmed it's console exclusive to Sony. Other platforms with be PC platforms.
WTF did I just read?!? Nah can't be. 4.33am and tired... yeah that's it.
If what I'm reading is true, nice to see a honest response from you. BTW by hating fanboys you became one. You just drag yourself down by fighting fire with fire.
Now everybody is concerned it's CG. Where were these people when Ryse released?
Or did you get fooled by the misleading "It's in-game" quote when CG is also in-game.
Edit: Yes Naughty Dog use an higer poly model with better textures for cutscenes that change to a lower model when it reverts to gameplay. It's common practice and hardly noticeable because you don't see the model close up.
Ryse did this and everybody ...
Good point. Bungie has always been linked with Microsoft. Sony is maybe trying to break that solid link. Similar to what Microsoft did with GTA IV.
I wrote an article linking Gaikai with PS Home months ago but it a different way. This article brings up another great way Gaikai could be used with Home.

Not true. The average first week figures for all the Modern Warfares and Black Ops are about 4.5M on PS3 and about 5.5M for the 360.
This is just a rough average which is about 45%-55% split to 360.With watchdogs is about 65%-35% split to the PS4.
But the biggest reason it sold more on PS4 and pushed more PS4's is because it's cheaper than the X1. Simple as that really. And yes the Sony push would of helped a lot too.
COD only really sells a couple million more on Xbox over its life time. GTA IV sold about the same on each console while GTA V sold more on PS3 (about 14M to 17M).
What's happening here though is something more extreme. The PS4 sold over double of what was sold on the X1. If this trend continues we're looking at a 10M to 4M split. Plus Watchdogs pushed the PS4 up about 80k ww to 200k for the week while the X1 sold 50k. Thats a 4:1 split in sales.
If t...
I know. The PS4 version, according to VGC, sold 1M more worldwide than the X1 versions. That's insane.
Also VGC figures so could be way off.
Not sure why people are pissed. Do they want it earlier or think that the Xbox fans should have their beta later? If you think that the Xbox fans should get theirs later then why? It has no affect on you. You STILL get the beta and that should be all that your worried about, not getting 1 up on the competition!
I'm still waiting for Agent!
1.8M sold on PS4 first week?? So according to VGC the PS4 had almost 50% of the 4M confirmed sold by Ubisoft.
The X1 also had a "Watchdog" boost but outsold by the PS4 4:1. Crazy numbers for Sony right now.
Download. Upload speed doesn't need to be great as it would on be small amounts of data sent from your console to control the game on a remote server.
5MB is fine to use this, Less than this then you will struggle. I used Gaikai a few years ago on a 4.5MB internet speed and the results were amazing. Speeds have come a long way since then and will continue to improve. If you have a connection below 5MB then youre unlucky.
The OLED screen is awesome. Blacks are black and colours aren't faded and crisp. If the colours do look too saturated then it the developers fault for having them at that setting.
But like jnemesh said, there are some good trade offs.
Edit: True about the blotches. You can see them clearly in a dark room but only when the entire screen is black which only happens while loading up games.
Edit: Also the OLED Vita is pretty much unusable ou...
@seraphym88 A well said comment that is very down to earth.

Every game uses this technique. Not just with characters but also scenery. If a game didn't use this technique, a lot of the pixel-pushing power would be used up very quickly.
