I dont think capacity is his concern at all. Read and seeking times is. Wich is why a flash format would be good, but now isnt the time yet. The option to install games should do the trick.
I hope sony chooses ssd as standard on ps4. Games that takes advantage of faster storage will run infinitively more fluid loading and install times would be shortened a lot to. Who doesnt hate 30 minute installs like GT5?
8x or 12x bd speed and a ssd and Ill be damned happy.
PSQ!
Quadstation 4 Life. lol.
They can't?
Wii begs to differ.
Where I live the Wii cost nearly the same as a 360 (arcade version anyways) back when they came out.
That is outrageous, and its the same reason Im not getting a WiiU now.
Also that Wii U controller prolly aint as expensive to make as some of you think.
Rather low spec restitive plastic screen, audio jack and wireless connectivity to WiiU console, low res plastic lens camera and a wii sensor bar thin...
And 690 is 24 times as powerful as the Xenos.
That doesnt make 10 times sound so much especially since ps3 is 40 times more powerful than ps2, and the gap between is 5-6 years and not 7+ years.
Damn... well I hope they give us beefy specs.
Something a couple notches below GTX 690(or 790 if coming later) should be possible though, not sayin thats going to happen, but the RSX and Xenos happened to be about as beefy as they come and one can only...
Well I disagree.
There is some work, but they have all the assets, other contents and so on, so a straight port shouldnt take long porting to a system that is multiple times as powerful as existing consoles today unless they change something dramatically like say they never made all the assets in a high enough quality to begin with so they would have to do it all over instead of rescaling them wether it be geometry, effects or textures and shaders.
Hmm I think price alone isnt a problem.
400-500 usd would prolly be the sweet spot for core gamers wich afterall is Sonys main target.
Power is key for creating excitement and a more easy going aging of the product. After all these years Ps3 and 360 is still relevant to the majority of gamers and developers, and the Wii isnt. In the long term power is great, it creates support, attention and it just glides of from there if things are handled properly.
...
yeah but live action is live action wether or not there is a huge amount of computer generated effects and alterations to the live characters or scenes.
Not sure I have seen the PS allstars live action trailer, but Kratos is definetively human in this one.
CGI?
The title should make that a dead giveaway.
Maybe the different color on one symbol means they are
Altering the overall design of the controller as well.
A slightly bigger conroller, more rounded and with concave triggers, better precision and more solid build. Thats just what Im hoping to see though.
Could absolutely be a hint. But it might just be a little screw up.
Either way all this, a little shower of transparent symbols, lights and edges surely fired up a lot of people.
I dont see no reason as to why ps4 or the next xbox wouldnt be comparable to an affordable High end rig.
Lets take Sony, they arent holding back much these days. They put a lot of money in to games. Just look at the quality line up for the last years.
The VITA just turned 1 year and it got some serious grunt being a high end portable device but Sony also makes other high end high quality products.
Bravia tvs with 4K and beast spec are coming. Xperia p...
Well bc for ps3 could be left out... Id understand that , preferably Id like to have it
But if there isnt full software emulation for the other ps consoles than im goin to be quite let down.
Ps3 is goin to be available for a good few more years and at this time Im not even sure if any one knows exacrly how much it would take to software emulate ps3, but Id say its still quite a way out of reach.
Agreed...
But I wish it was more like kz2.
Kz2 is by far GG's best game overall and IMO best fps this gen.
They went to far away from what made 2 so good and I it seems like a rushed game. I wish they will take time to make kz4 the best it can be building upon kz2 formula.
"If its not moving, kill it again".
This made my day! ^

The problem is that Hardrives are slower than SSD.
Games use the HDD to cache data, load textures, sounds and other assets.
You can compare it to some games this gen that offers a HDD install VS just reading from the disk.
Installs some times pretty much eliminates slow textures and pop in. A decent SSD is 5 times faster than a Hard drive.
Skyrim on ps3 have tended to run out of memory and started using the HDD for ...
Choise is good.
But Making both SSD and HDD models is not smart at all.
The difference could be be pretty devastating running a game designed for utilizing SSD on a system with a HDD..
Anyways I root for SSD, but for the love of gaming those are falling in price and its not like we wont be able to afford a ps4 with and ssd. there should be various capacity sku's and swapping to a larger one down the road could be pretty easy.
Move...
Yes you better pay up for maintainance on those p2p services and games./s
Also price is only a tiny factor. Cheap or even free products and services outclass expensive ones all the time.
Linux for example completely free, and for a lot of people and a lot of purposes Linux is the best thing over OSX and also Windows. You know Ms might be running Linux on their servers, not that I know, but that isnt too unlikely and would be hilarious lol.
So you acknowledge consoles having cutting edge tech in 05, but say they wont now because now all of a sudden they cant afford it and they have to worry about power consumption?
Well.... How much have really changed since 05 til today that would not only suggest as a possibility but be a dead on given that they wont make a powerhouse console???
I remember articles about ps3 consumng five times the power of a refridgirator but that didnt stop it from selling. ...
There is always a way to improve on the technical aspects of a game.
But expecting all games to look like GOW ascension etc is not realistic. Not all devs have the same resources, competance, time and tools to do it and that is how it is always going to be.
Also whatever juice that will be extracted from this point on prolly wont give us much of an improvement.
So in my opinion its ABOUT TIME for new consoles.
The jump in capacity, sp...
How can the WiiU possibly have big potential when its games are so comparable to PS3 & 360 games?
Some multiplats are even worse than its 7th gen versions!
I cant recall 360 or Ps3 having any game released that looked the same or worse than 6th gen counterparts or competitors.
Perhaps the Wii-U can do better than the 7th gen consoles, but it looks like the wii all over again to me.
The ps3 is like 35 times more powerful than the wii yet th...
Yeah well we will need more space eventually. But when even ps3 is capable of reading 400+ gigabyte discs I think we would be safe with the ps4 featuring blu-ray. I cant imagine games filling out 400 gb with anything useful the next few years. But heck much can happen i theory.
