@strifeblade Sony has engineered their GPU to be able to do onboard compute functions making latency issues a non argument..
They also engineered an additional bus giving direct read/write access to the shared pool of memory.. Mary Cerny clarified that that they easily could have had a terabyte of bandwidth to the memory but determined that Unified memory was the goal.
Do yourself a favor and do research before spouting opinion as fact. Read this article, ...
Lol^^^ Resogun looks better than anything announced for either console, is only using 50% of the PS4's processing, and its from an indie..

Thanks Jack that video left a perma grin on my face.. That Boss battle brought back so many 8 and 16 bit side scroller memories.. So happy that Housmarque is in Sony's stable..
"Basically the gddr5 ram is being out performed by the ddr3 ram and eSram combo"
You have proof of this? Didn't think so. Mark Cerny has identified that the unified architecture of their GDDR5 setup has increased yields.
Not to rest on laurels they have actually customized the GDDR5 to be able to handle compute functions. Cerny pointed out that they looked at embedded eSRAM to help with the read/write issues. But determined that its a more complex ...
@Xboxfun "To design the PlayStation 4, Cerny didn't just rely on research, or postmortems of the PlayStation 3. He also toured development teams and spoke to middleware partners to find out precisely what they wanted to see in a next generation console."
"In fact, said Cerny, when he toured development studios asking what they wanted from the PlayStation 4, the "largest piece of feedback that we got is they wanted unified memory."
Stop it with this NDA nonsense.. DO you want everyone to sit here and honestly believe that a company as big and powerful as Microsoft is being gagged by a graphics card manufacturer? Especially if we are to believe that Microsoft paid this same company over a billion dollars..
Microsoft would not allow themselves to be gagged in such close proximity to release especially after the tough road they've had since the reveal this past spring..
@hellz uhh dude Sony has outsold microsoft worldwide since 2009 hence why they've been able to close the gap and pass the 360 for lifetime sales.. Try again.
Ahh cannot wait to play this!!
I'm sensing Microsoft is using the bundled game as a means to improve drive up pre orders in Europe. Microsoft knows that the One will sell well in NA, all of their consoles have. Sadly they aren't doing this as a reward to loyal consumers rather just a business decision..
I'm thinking we pull a fast and the furious style truck hijack that is full of PS4's :0)
Playstations and Xbox's are manufactured in China and come over on large cargo ships.
@Denawayne Skype? check. Cloud? check. Voice and facial recognition? check. If you honestly want me and others to believe the average Joe schmo is going to go gaga over snapping and rush out to buy an X1 for $100 more then you are kidding yourself.. Kinect won't cause a stampede either, the original Kinect was nothing like it was advertised to be (yes I have one and I never use it, big waste of money)Kinect 2.0 so far only looks marginally better.
It's obvious that y...
@Icicle My point is they KNOWINGLY decided to sell you a broken, incomplete product.
@Irishguy At least its only two weeks instead of months.. I feel for you though man, knowing others have one and I had to wait would kill me...
@Ihass What's your point? You think one week is going to make a difference in Europe? PS4 is available in more territories for holiday 2013.. Black Friday in the Americas and Christmas everwhere else..
They knew about those issues pre-launch the warranty didn't come until almost a year later. Microsoft issued the warranty fix only after lawsuits had begun to be filed, had it made it to class action status Microsoft would have lost more than 1 billion dollars. It was simply a business decision not an alltruistic response..
We are talking about the very same company that was aware of the thermal paste issue as well as the disk scratching issue but due to cost and not wanting to delay the launch of the 360 did nothing... I'm very skeptical of anything Microsoft says or does as should everyone else...
@Denawayne Did you not watch Sony's Gamescom presentation? If you had you would have known that the launching a game without putting a disc in was fully demonstrated on stage.. it was flawless, seamless, and loaded in seconds... Secondly Sony confirmed facial recognition/profile sign in and voice controls with the PS Eye.. There is literally almost nothing ONE can do that PS4 cannot..
@paleomerus Much like how at GamesCon in the Xbox booth BF4 was running on Pc's disguised as XB1's?? It has been reported that BF4 is running awful on both consoles which speaks far more about Dice than it does the consoles.. Quit trolling.
