A "possible iphone 5 release" uhh, these guys don't follow Apple product release schedules, do they? The new iteration of the iphone happens EVERY SUMMER. And Apple is the same with all their products. Every new model launches just about a year from previous model. Rumor for iphone 5 announcement is June.
This is not entirely true. Otherwise the NGP would simply use a high clock single core instead of quad-core processors. The problem is heat..Going multi-is how we got around those constraints and now can continue on to more and more powerful devices. A quad-core 1GHZ processor will absolutely DESTROY a single-core even 2GHZ processor when coded for... Checkout benchmark figures, they don't lie!
Part of why you think multi-core isn't a big deal is because software ...
By the numbers, smartphones WILL beat both the 3DS and the NGP combined. Also, it will not take 5 years for cell phone tech to catch up to the NGP. I give it 2, the reason is that Cell/ tablet tech is advancing faster than ever before. It took 2 years to go from aprox. 600 MHZ processors to 1.0 GHZ. It will likely only take only about one to go from Dual-core 1.0+ GhZ to Quad-core 1.2+ GHZ (and 3D) (First 3D phone will be officially anounced in less than 2 weeks at MWC).
...
Astonishing, really. It is a quad-core device, though so it is not TOTALLY unbelievable. Still, it is pretty clearly the most impressive thing shown out of the whole presentation!
Yep, MGS5 PS3 and NGP, here we come E3 2011!!!!
LOL, that is an awesome response..ROFL!!!
Mind you, I dont care THAT much, all of this looks amazing, phenomenal, awe-inspiring, uh, insert favorite adjective...
Anyhow, if Versus fails to be cool, I think I'm done with SE as a game dev anyway... :( I used to love them so much!
Edit:
I see from the IGN liveblog:
A list of devs is shown, including Grassopper, IREM, Level 5, Namco Bandai, Square Enix, Ubisoft, 2k Games, Rockstar..
OK, I see SE is there afterall, they jus...
One Question...WHere the HELL is Square-Enix!!!?
Snake!!!! Kojima!!!
Tim Sweeney this was built for PS3, then ported over in one week for the NGP!
Unreal Engine 3...looking really good!
Nice!! Yakuza!
This machine seems to be far closer to the capabilities of the PS3 than the PSP was to the PS2!
What do you guys think?
Capcom is going to use its MT Framework, which is uses to make games on the NGP...
Holy Shit!
I can't believe how thin it is...!! It is so sleek
there will no doubt be high qual vids soon!
Is it just me or does this feel a bit like E3 05 Again, except this time teh demos are all real and on live hardware. Making the significance of teh event, like about 10000% higher!
AHHH soo cool, must get, AASAP!!
Soo AWESOMO!!!!!
THis thing is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! way better than I thought it would look and the specs..it really is out of this world
HTere it is!!
I don't think it would make any sense to bring JUST Gears 3 to PS3 anyway without the other two games...
