Next gen charachter models won't have hair like this.
This is a top end Fermi GPU, rendering one charachters hair, theres no actual charachter model, no ai, no external environment, no scripts running, absolutely nothing but the hair for the GPU to concentrate on. Yet it is still demanding enough to drop the framerate to 24fps.
Put 10 fully modelled charachters on the screen, in an environment like GTAs cities, and you'll be playing along at about 3fp...
Oh, karma ! The rest of the world has to put up with this ALL THE TIME, with videos being in the US only.
Rockstar never go to game shows. Ever.
They are like the Apple of the game world. They create their own hype, and don't need to attend shows to get publicity.
Worldwide Gran Turismo 5 sales were 7.3M in December 2011, likely over 8m now...
Yeah, crap sales.
/s
You gotta be kidding ? Thats like a full color hardback book. It'd add about $20 to the vitas price, just for the packaging. No thanks.
Should they of made it into a collectors addition and charged an extra $100 and made a pretty penny ? Yeah, sure.
AAA is just to do with a games budget, not how good it is. If a game cost $30million and came out with only 6/10 in reviews, it's still a AAA game by definition.
So yes, it is.
Whether it is a good game is another argument entirely.
Sony has been struggling for the past 5+ years now, i'm sure the advertising budget took a knock.
Got my Vita ordered though, can't wait!
They are also the people that likely design your consoles.
As Mr Gates said, you should be kind to nerds, they will probably end up being your boss one day.
Compete ? Perhaps not in terms of licensing and quantity of cars and soundtracks which require huge budgets.
But in terms of realism and graphics PC is way ahead. PC Sims look better, are more realistic, and you can play online with 64racers in some games. You could never do this on console without big sacrifices.
Even if that picture IS real, 5seconds work in any picture edditing program makes it alot closer to the competition.
here is what I did http://i200.photobucket.com...
Job done. Pretty sure it's fake anyway.
What a load of crap. I owned iPad 2, it didn't look that good. I owned 3DS, it definitely didn't look that good.
And i've seen other pictures taken with the Vita, and they look better than that.
Noone is claiming its VGA cameras are even approaching good. But this is just a joke. Didn't IGN also thing the PSV is doomed, and the 3G is not being made any more ?
That maybe so but my nvidia driver for the 560Ti crashes every other day and black screens, takes a few seconds for it to restart.
Its annoying as heck.
Awkward moment when you try to impress people with PC Specs..
But yes I can wait. Not that I have a choice.
Hangon, last thing I saw we had wall x-ray vision.
This is insane. I can not believe those are in game, why ? because of the textures. The texture size to get a newspaper with readable smallprint would be huge for a console, you barely see them of that quality on PC. And the leaves, every leaf you can see all it's veins. Go compare that to another open world game like GTA4, and you will see why i think this is so surprising/interesting.
I am almost tempted to say "Only on PS4". But then that can't be true.. ...
John Carmack is an intelligent guy, but how can he say there is not much left to be improved. You only have to look at the staggering visual effects in films like Avatar and Toy Story to realise we are a long way off reaching the limit of whats possible.
Besides, graphics arn't even half the story. Games look a lot more real than they feel. I can't do 1% of the things in sandbox games like GTA4 than i can in real life. Wheres my realistic water ? wheres my destruction...
Hangon, it's codename "Infinity" for the hardware and "Loop" for the software.
Infinity Loop ?
Thats Apples HQ address. Lol !
Glad i'm getting it on PC. Plenty of free cheats and trainers and mods for us, screw paying !
I can't see it either. What the heck ?
I hate CoD.
But there is no need for a new engine. If you all want it too look pretty like BF3, it's going to drop to 30fps. And that will annoy a lot of people.
Besides, it hardly looks bad. That and the engine they are using now is vastly improved and updated to the original engine used to make MW.
Expect new engine on new console.
