I don\t see installing linux is relevant to game develpment. If anything, it hampers you.
Why not stick to the available tools, and BSD?
@CryofSilence:
"GrizzliS1987, Shuhei Yoshida already confirmed that developers have the option of "cloud power" with the PS4. Microsoft just capitalized on it."
Having ability, is quite different from having the infrastructure.
The scale and availability of cloud differs significantly i.e. you could have a 100 servers in a farm, and call that a cloud. Doesn't make a good experience.
Heck, both PS3 (and...
@dark:
sony might not know the extent, and they are likely still trying to figure it out.
Typically you don't post something like that in "error".
I find it odd that so many people are having problems with their PS4 on launch day.
I expect some percentage of failure, but that is over longer period of time, not over 6-12 hours!
Less games, more exercise.
That is unless you own an Xbox One and use Xbox Fitness!!!
=D
@ride:
If soony pulled the update, then a lot of the promised features wouldn't be available. Unstable software, means it works, just not reliably.
At this early in the stage, pulling the update would be very bad PR even for Sony.
I guess, greatness awaits on Nov 22 instead then.
I kid, I kid. =D
@cgi:
Uncharted 4 does seem to be a shining star, but why isn't naughty dog working on a new ip. Last of Us was a fantastic game.
Naughty Dog games are the only one on soony platform truly enjoy.
@MysticStrummer:
If you go by history, then sony not only had poor support, but also dropped PSP Go faster than you can say Go!
PS Vita is heading in the same direction it seems with extremely shoddy support.
"Until Sony or some other company gives me a reason to jump ship, I'll be a Playstation man."
that is fine, but sometimes that is equated with fanboyism.
Personally, I go with all consoles ...
The article is saying that Sony made PS Vita an afterthought and only discuss Vita in conjunction with PS4 remote play.
For all intensive purposes, PS Vita has been practically abandoned by Sony. Just like the PSP Go, sadly.
@matt:
I think fighting game translates badly using any motion based system. Why?
You can't do backflips or hadokens or anything else, so that automatically makes you look silly.
I think a game like boxing, ala Punch Out, would have been fantastic with Kinect One or maybe fencing. I'm hoping someone will make one.
Perception of lag is also different with motion based games.
What you see and feel is very different things.
Even if the game was 100% real time, you would still feel laggy especially from videos, because gamers are trained to have instant reaction using buttons i.e. what happens in your brain is translated faster to you finger presses than your body can move.
That means, when you are playing it, you won't feel the lag, because your body...

Yeah, I have been finding the reddit community to be among the best on all fronts.
People there actually post friendly truce threads. Very refreshing.
It is the new and improved n4g, without the biased and BS community.
70W to do background downloading sounds excessive.
My trusty 8 year Thinkpad consumes 65W on full load, and ran Windows XP Pro doing gazillion things in addition to download, patch, browse and play music in the background.
At 8 years later, and a smaller subset of tasks, it shouldn't take the same power.
Probably a good idea to wait. EA already outed the update as unstable, and Sony likely pressured EA into retracting.
No, it most likely was true, but EA got strong armed into removing it by Sony.
@matt:
Well said!
Bubbles for you
You can publish a game for $100 on Xbox 360, with XNA and indie dev program.
Of course on PC, it is completely free.
Then Bungie should have designed Destiny for PC not for the paltry and inferior next generation console of PS4 and Xbox One!
There is actually more differences than just license between a Unix based system and Linux based one.
They both share a lot of the same tools, source code and even programs, because Linux to some extent mimics Unix systems.
Essentially, Linux is a Unix clone. In fact, for a long time, Linux didn't even have a threading model unlike BSD.
