You are looking at bottleneck in a different perspective. More like the bottleneck of the technology as a whole.
I think what Mark Cerny was clarifying in the article is how compatible each part they selected for the PS4 because if you have a part outputting data quicker/larger than its compliant other part (eg CPU and RAM) then you would create a system bottleneck and that system advantage becomes disadvantage.
It is like having two workers carrying heavy bo...
In theory it is all sweet and awesome but that is all still theoretically talk.
Developer will need to actually complete their games (specially neutral third party developers) and by then the talk on bottlenecks or hardware disadvantage can be brought up...
Gee, an article over a savegame.
I repeated Final Fantasy IX 3 times, just because I lost my savegame/memory card in the first two. Didn't see me writing an article about it!
It is not about the PS4 is capable or not! This is up to the developer and it is basic math: More FPS, Less Graphics or the opposite.
They just think better graphics is more important than 60fps.
60fps is a must for fast-paced games like Need for speed or Tekken...
30fps is "OK" for a game that tends to take its time.. like stealth games or RPGs.
Fallout 4, Doom 4, Prey 2, and Mikami's new game. Bethesda gonna rock the next-gen!
BC is an added extra to me. I didnt play any PS1 title on PS2 and the only PS2 title played on my PS3 was MGS3 and I had some problems scaling the game to my HD resolution and colours were mostly washed out.
So I do not think I will run PS3 titles on PS4 and I dont plan on getting PS4 on LAUNCH. I will wait for the last major PS3 releases (Last of Us, FFXIIIversus, Last Guardian). By then, PS4 will have more games and I avoided the launch drama.
If I ever wan...
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
That could be very confusing
Quantic Dream demo is more artistic and cinematic. The nvidia demo may have more capabilities but the design is not impressive. You could tell his animations is something from what would you expect from a CG plus the model looks very generic compared to the oldman.
People afraid that Disney will ruin this? LucasArts were already ruining themselves during this generation (No new KOTOR, no new JK, no new BF, no new Republic Commando) and their new games are disappointing like that EPIII game, Force Unleashed and all those lego spawns.
If you people knew what LucasArts capable of, since the late 80s to 2005, you should very optimistic that Disney WILL save LucasArts from its doom.
I believe both GAMEPLAY and GRAPHICS should be equally amazing.
So you shooting game that was been always about gangs and drugs became THE MOST disappointing game because it was about shooting gangs and drugs.
The gameplay was good, characters were actually better, and it was satisfying.
Get over it. You did not give enough reasons to make Max Payne the most horrible disappointment of 2012. It was still neo-noir unless you wanted Max to have sexual monologue everytime he sees a woman behind.
Hudson IS the director of all MASS EFFECT games, Jade Empire and the first Knights of the Old Republic. He is the one that actually controlled development.
Muzyka and Zeschuk are CEOs and producers. While they are great guys for sure, for having an independent company for a decades is a great achievement but that does not mean they created the games. They are top bosses who approve and fund great ideas from their teams and help them to walk in a certain direction.

I don't care and I did not state that Sony\Microsoft will outsell the WiiU. I don't care if a Nintendo product is soldout or not because I have 0 interests in playing Nintendo games.
I am speaking in terms of technology, how big the gap will be between WiiU and the upcoming hardware. Don't try to convince me that technology isn't important or otherwise, why Nintendo were showing off their "processing power" and making it a 1080p res device.

Wii U vs PS3&360 ? How about a Wii U vs PS4 and Next-Xbox ?
I believe the Wii U is a quick cash-in for Nintendo since it will be available before any new nextgen hardware. Their strategy may win them the sales battle (again) but in terms of higher quality gaming machine, we are pretty sure either of Sony/Microsoft will pull it off in terms of graphics, online gaming and entertainment capabilities.
The question is, how big the gap will be between Nintendo ...
I don't really care about who quits and who stays- All what we want is the final product.
Even people who don't play Metal Gear respect its popularity and they think the game earned it. These guys calling it a "garbage". You don't just disrespect the game, but you are disrespecting the Metal Gear fan crowd since they are all finding pleasure in their "Garbage".
N4G should not accept obvious troll bait blogs/podcasts like these.
because it pays him well?
Does it really matters where? I don't expect a big change in the environment, just what's left over from the city landmarks and the high ways.
I am liking what I am seeing so far ... Even though these are just screenshots but you could see this studio has unique sense of direction. In one screen it kinda reminded me of Tim Burton's movie which present Batman as a fearful & mysterious being more than a superhero detective...
Hopefully this game turns out good and not a quick cash-in attempt.
