Too high? No. It has just been TOO LONG since the last leap in technology. People wanted this two years ago. We are now foaming at the mouth waiting for it and I think it is a great thing.
Distributed computing is powerful. Really powerful. But I think the internet broadband service across much of the world is just too slow to see the potential that "the cloud" has to offer.
I'll place my bet on who has what under the hood of the actual console myself for now. But I would love to be proved wrong.
Fine by me. Give me the game NOW!
Microsoft is going to be hosting the dedicated servers. Not Activision. Which is good news for Xbox owners.
But now that Sony will be charging for online play I don't see why they wouldn't be able to afford the same dedicated servers.
I am hoping we see a lot of dedicated servers on the next gen systems. It is just a better way to play.
I am more interested in hardware tiling and how that will be implemented.
I never played the first two so maybe that is why I don't have a problem with it. But Neither 3 or 4 tries to take ANYTHING seriously.
I loved Saints Row 3 and I am currently loving Saints Row 4. I love the over the top mechanics of the game. I never expected to like the the series so I was very surprised when I played Saints Row 3 that I actually enjoyed it whereas I haven't been able to get into the last couple of GTA games.
I enjoyed the games. I would buy and play another one.
I thought it was funny. But I've played the Peggle and add-ons for the game so his over excitement made sense to me.
But for those that have never played peggle I could understand why that might have seemed excessive. But it was because it was supposed to be excessive.
Less than 2 hours folks and we shall know about the PS4 at least. For me it can't get here soon enough. The next gen of consoles and the games promised so far looks amazing. Take into account that with the x86 architecture it will be a BOON to PC gamers and we will once again see a rapid increase in visuals as well as that of finally being more optimized. EVERYONE wins this upcoming generation.
I just want the damned beta invite already! Was supposed to have been in beta way back in March of this year then it was delayed till who knows when. CnC is my favorite RTS franchise. And since I refused to play CnC4 because it wasn't a CnC game I have been really looking forward to this one.
Bought it on steam yesterday. Just like the old days! (only better gfx)
If a 7870, a 1.6ghz 8 core CPU, and 8gigs of RAM could produce film-like visuals my PC would have been able to do this ~3 years ago.
So I totally agree with you. Next generation? Absolutely I think 7-8 years from now the tech will be available for studio quality fidelity in games. But right now with this hardware? Not a chance.
Not that I care I suppose. I think the consoles are going to really blow people away now that it has moved to a x86 development env...
I'm very interested in this title as well. Was hoping I would see more of it.
It was a very gorgeous game maxed out on PC.
Go play Metro:2033, THEN go play Metro: Last Light. Both games blow Witcher 2 out of the water.
I would argue that Witcher doesn't look that great without Ubersampling on and THAT is a bigger resource hog than even tesselation.
I can attest to the fact that in the current gen the CoD games look exactly the same on PC (for the most part) as it does on the consoles with the only real exception being the PC version can run natively at higher resolutions.
So this may be "PC" footage but I doubt the console version will look any different given the series current track record. What you watched is what you will get on PS4/X1 whether you like it or not.
Yeah, this looks about what I would expect from a 7870 running on ~6gigs of total system ram. Take into account a lot of the better looking games will most likely be natively running at 720p and upscaled to 1080p and these visuals seems about on par with what you should expect.
Especially once they optimize for the hardware.
It's the same thing. Cloud storage of saves moves between two end point machines with only one license purchased.
Kinda like how Portal 2 PS3 purchase gave you a free PC version.
It is a matter of implementation. Not of invention.
Amen to that!!!
