This sounds dangerous!
I think it's pretty sad, as an industry, that most of the professional "journalist" aren't very professional. A lot of them don't even adhere to journalistic practices.
It's honestly really hard to find an unbiased gaming centric site these days. That being said, I've always found GiantBomb to be one of the most unbiased sites out there.
I'm not surprised some are panicking, just don't know why really. Anybody today can take a video and upload it to YouTube. Just one video can go viral and spread to millions and millions of people over night.
I'm liking what I'm seeing from the PS4 UI but as a designer I've seen my fair share of UI designs. And I've gotta say, you can really tell that MS is a software company. Sony improved their UI a lot, but right now I think the XBox One UI is simpler/easier to use (I'm not counting Kinect, I don't like it personally)
No, I'm not hating on the PS4. I'm getting a PS4 day one and currently have no plans to pick up a X-1, just making an unbiased obs...
dude, I'm Chinese! I know Chinese from China!
You're confusing a necessity, transportation with a luxury! China barely has a middle class, it's developing now and quickly. Do you even know what a job, like working at an Apple factory, pays? What do you think the controversy is all about with these American companies having factories in China? Super LOW pay!
The largest cities in China make up less than 10% of the whole population of China.
I'm not sure how big of a market China can actually be. There are, as you stated, 1 Billion people in that country but i think people forget that a large part of that population is for the most part 3rd world. A large part of the population will not be able to afford a PS4/X-1. But of course, the more markets the better!
@Kingthrash360 that's is the talk that's going around. Surprisingly enough, the talk is the the XBox One version is more stable than both the PS4 & PC version. That's pretty crazy!
@tehpees3
The only problem with your argument is that we've seen those Wii U games, do they look significantly better? We've seen the newly "upgraded" COD engine, does it look that much more amazing?
Do people give COD the solder for just upgrading their old engine? No, do you know why? COD has basically had the same engine for years and years now, it looks okay but nothing spectacular. What are the games ND has produced? Uncharted 3 and The...
I wonder where they spent that $1Billion?
Did they spend it creating new IP's or did they spend it on securing 3rd party exclusivity on currently multiplatform franchises? I could see both scenarios... Now I'm just wondering what studios and games have been secured if the latter is true.
Other than that MS has been doing a lot of chest puffing and chest pounding lately, while Sony has remains relatively quite on their E3 "plans." The real q...
Thanks for coming in here and shitting all over AMD for no good reason.
I really don't understand why people feel the need to do that. Does is provide you with some kind of sick satisfaction to rain on someone's parade. And no, "Just saying" is not a good excuse... ever.
This is the same kind of people that spoil endings of games, WHY? why would you do that? Why would you spoil someones experience like that... SMH.
I totally agree that some would be sad at this news, but I also think that some are jumping to conclusions here. What exactly do they mean by "closely aligned" and how it's gonna make it easier for developers?
It almost seems like he's referring to the fact that their both using AMD chips, Unified memory but more importantly they're both built on x86.
Look at the 360/PS3 generation, they were essentially same in terms of raw power. Did ...
@-Mika-
Did YOU read the article? the whole article? Ohh... you must have stopped just before he says "If proven successful, I see Sony implementing the same features."
Oh Mika, you make me LOL
@saint_seya
it's okay man, I don't really care about the "agrees/disagrees." But I do think its cute that you thought it necessary to go out of your way to let me know that you "accidentally" agreed with me... maybe a Freudian slip?
@Babyleg
wow... just wow! Did Sony announce anything about voice controls? Doesn't the pseye have 3 microphones? what do you think they're there for? LOL where did you get the 3 x more powerful from? MS said nothing about it being more powerful than PS4, they compared it to the 360. You must have used "fanboy" math... that kind of math always works out in your favor! As far as OS goes... XBox One looks to be pretty sweet.
I love it when new ...
because... of the cloud?
If you really look at history, Sony did this with the PS3... remember allowing your PS3 to contribute computing power for cancer research? I really do think that cloud computing is a viable alternative... in the future.
MS has their cloud service and so does Sony, remember Gaikai? Yes, Yes I know MS has 300,000 servers. But currently that's just a claim, "Mr. Gaikai" Perry claims their building the "fastest" n...
That's a whole lot! I think all poly models start off this way, super high poly count then they scale it down to fit into a game. I believe the high poly models are mostly used for its textures, they take the textures from the high poly models and wrap them around the lower poly models. it's and industry trick to get accurate lighting and beast textures... If I'm not mistaken, if I am someone please feel free to correct me.
I really don't hoe how people are buying so hard into this?!?
Just imagine if such a revolutionary tech was created and its first use or even the first news of it is making.... Better graphics! that's what we used it for!
I'd imagine if this tech was possible the first we'd see of it would be PC gaming! but that would require a massively fast network.
@PSVita
To be honest I don't think a lot of people knew who he actually was. They know the games he's worked on/contributed to, but not Cerny himself. I don't think a lot of the press attending that night knew who he was either. But from what I've heard about him recently he seems to be looked at, at least by other game creators and insiders, like a Miyamoto, Kojima etc.
I don't think that's the whole list, he has a url address their and he says it's like 6.2 gigs. So I'm guessing that's the real list.
I don't know why this would surprise anybody.
Nintendo is Mario, Nintendo's best games are 1st party. Don't most people buy a Nintendo game because of the prospect of a Mario game?
