Destruction makes for collision detection more expensive because you have to keep recalculating bounding volumes at run time instead of just doing it once and loading the volumes from memory. Usually aabb trees are used for this because they're easier to compute. Add physics calculations on top of that and then you realize why its next gen.

All the interest is currently with the PS4. Sony have really gained by announcing first. The next Xbox could be in trouble before we even know what it can do. I hope its more powerful than the rumours claim. I am a PC gamer and game developer and I don't want it limiting multiplatform games. I know from using DirectX 11 that it is a great graphics API. I just hope the 720 makes use of it.

Best studio in the world. How many CoDs have we seen this gen? 7. How many Assassins Creed? 5. How many Halos? 3 (not including ODST). How many Uncharteds? 3. How many Gears? 4. How many Mass Effects? 3. Sants Rows? 3. How many God of Wars? 2. How many Killzones? 2.

How many GTAs. 1. Rockstar North are 5 years making this game already and it looks to deliver. Now that's a studio that deserves respect.

Oh dear me. Feminists have reached a new low. That tweet was not a joke about rape. It didn't even make any reference to the subject of rape.

This is a rape joke from Jimmy Carr:
99% of women kiss with their eyes closed. That's why its so hard to identify a rapist.

Another one. A good chat up line is:
Lets not turn this rape into a murder!

Now those are jokes about rape but they're not even offensive. Why? Because...

Its an opinion. Are they not entitled to one? Its funny how a game needs to get 8 or over to be considered good while a movie that gets 6 or over is considered good.

Wow how ignorant. Bioshock Infinite for example. Best on PC and has the gameplay, graphics and story.

Nvidia simply stated fact. The PS4 gpu is weak compared with high end gpus today. High end graphics cards cost more than the PS4 itself and that's why the PS4 gpu is sufficiently weaker. Though PS4 is still a big leap over PS3.

I don't think Nvidia care about the lack of business. This have 75% of the market and AMD are over 100 million in debt.

Achieved with CryEngine 3. Seriously though, I commend these guys for bringing something fresh to the table.

Make no mistake, SE have extremely talented people working for them. Just look at their Luminous engine. At least they are doing FFX justice. SE's problem is their business strategy. They have nearly ruined the FF series by changing the formula to one that they think appeals to a western audience. Instead, they are destroying the series. This and Versus XIII is a chance to redeem themselves with FF fans and hopefully A Realm Reborn turns out to be good also.

Naughty Dog are an excellent developer. Its just a pity they're owned by Sony and not independent. It would be better if more people could experience their games. I'd prefer if all games used the Open GL graphics API and were open source and available for open source operating systems such as Linux. As a hobbyist developer, I only use DirectX 11 over Open GL because there is better driver support for it.

Yeah but marketing doesn't count because that's just bull.

Blizzard are bringing Diablo 3 to PS4. A game that's out on PC over a year already. You think that means they will concentrate less on PC? Some games are meant for a keyboard and mouse. Your comment about console ports to PC is not true. Yes multiplatform games will be tailored for PS4 and 720 hardware specifically but because PS4 hardware is a lot more similar to what is in your average gaming PC when compared with the PS3 hardware, devs have to do less work to make t...

A little disappointed. Expected over 20 hours since they said it is the longest campaign they've done. It will have great replay value though.

Kinect is very different to PS Eye and substantially better. Its not a product for hardcore gamers but don't say it is a copy of EyeToy when they are very different. I am a Playstation fan but the facts are that MS made a greater financial gain from this generation than Sony did. The PS4's interface are looking more like the 360s than the PS3s and that's a good thing. The PS4's specs and games will set it apart from the next xbox. Sony are heading in the right direction and th...

That is the unofficial Steambox. There will be another one manufactured by Valve themselves.

The problem with the Steambox is it cannot run DirectX 11. Though I'd love if Valve worked on Open GL. If Open GL got more driver support and all pc games were avilable for linux, the Steambox would blow away the competition. Simply because, you cannot beat Linux. You cannot beat the power of open source!

Windows 7 64 bit uses 2gb ram so I can't see PS4 os taking up more than 1gb but will probably be less than 1gb or there is serious inefficient coding.

8.0 is a good score. A review score is not based on the sum of all the game's parts. If you think it deserves better, why are you so concerned with someone else's opinion?

Like Dragon Age Origins you mean? Now what platform is that best on? Let me see... Oh that's right, PC. The Witcher. PC. Skyrim. PC. Max Payne 3. PC. Soon to be released Bioshock Infinite, PC. Hitman Absolution. PC. Far Cry 3. PC. Battlefield 3. PC. I could go on and on. Though forget about graphics. What about loading times? SSD. PC. What about mods? Can we use the Skyrim creation kit on consoles? Computer says no! And what online game service provides great discounts and deals? Steam. W...

PS4 is low-mid end PC. From the rumours Durango looks low-end but I hope I'm wrong. PS4 is powerful enough for it to be a big leap over last gen and that's all that matters. Its not about how powerful a console is compared to PC, its about powerful hardware that's affordable to the masses.
I play mostly on PC but I have a 360 and PS3. The one thing a console has over PC is the fact that developers are working with one set of hardware and don't have to accommodate diffe...
