hope some people can get steady jobs and pump out great content.

You can't have a low level API without shutting other people out because it involves programming to the strengths of your specific GPU architecture. The opposite of this is direct X, which exists because it unifies all GPUs and emulates their shaders to work the same which saves developers time at the cost of power, because other wise they would have to make two versions of the game.
The good thing about Mantle is you dont have to build a game...
tough question, as an old sega fan what don't i want?
as a random thought I would really like to see panzer dragoon and daytona on oculus rift.
those pics might be worth the money though.
Day 1, new hard drive that is.
Wonder how much of that 500gb HD is used with stock software. 500GB is a pretty good size, but thats going to go so fast once the big AAA games start eating 50+ a pop.
I would say this is a basically just like the PC version a bit of a step up but nothing mind blowing. A new engine will be a big undertaking, which sports game devs seem to avoid like the plague.
In the old days whenever you got a new engine you could say goodbye to about 90% of the game modes your used to as well and start back at square one with a franchise mode haha.
My guess is that PC was lead platform but they definitely want to release console versions first and get that quick 60, then go back to adding in the extra things a PC can do that a console are not capable of handling.
The big twist to this is that I would almost bet on GTA 5 being released on the new consoles as well taking advantage of the PC optimizations as much as possible. They have already made a ton of money, but I'm sure they want a ton more and timing couldn'...
I really enjoyed Left 4 Dead series, especially #2.
Whoever it is, I wish they would stick their games on PC and broaden their audience, I think their games would do well and would give them more resources to make more games.
Indie games are exploding in popularity and Atlus appeals to a similar audience with their more niche games.
If anyone can do it these guys can and will. Not to say new tricks wont be opened up along the way, but these new consoles are basically PCs and CDPR is a top tier dev who knows this hardware in and out.
As someone who reads a lot of comments in PC focused websites I really dont think most PC gamers care. We've have been drowned by MMOs, time for consoles to suffer with us! Watch as all your favorite franchises get turned into mmos that mostly fail, until they turn F2P and they introduce microtransactions instead of content. They seemed doomed for failure but the fanboys with bottomless wallets blow $100s of dollars on them and keep them profitable. So then they only pay people to make ne...
PS4 should always win the multiplatform games plain and simple, the CPUs are the same and the GPUs both come from AMD with very similar architecture, but the PS4 has around 40% more SPUs. Plus the Ram difference, PS4 has ram tuned for best performance while MS picked up the cheapest bulk DDR3 they could find and tried to use a bandaid (ESRAM cache) to try to help with the speed problem.
Even if Graphics looked identical PS4 could always run at higher FPS.
Usi...
Honestly I wouldnt be so hard on the parents especially if they are not tech savvy. Hell these freemium games are built to exploit this exact situation IMO. Both android and iOS can have password protection on in-app purchases but its not on by default, which IMO is something that should always be on till turned off. Sadly parents who aren't gamers don't learn this lesson until a mistake has already been made and are probably in shock that its even possible to buy 1k worth of stuff th...
PC doesn't need 8gb gddr5, ps4 was built to be future proof for as long as possible so they splurged. When PS4 launches PC will about be ready for DDR4 ram and GDDR6 in 2014. And later in 2014 New GPUs will come out that should be substantially better on 22nm and new architecture.
PS4 has great hardware but a consoles advantage will always be in its uniform specs and experienced developers that get to concentrate on making consoles games
I wouldn't be surprised if they did. If they are going through with the pc port they could turn it around and port it back to ps4. They'll probably release it later though to generate more sales, hoping to double up on sales from those who bought the ps3 version and what the ultimate experience.
her bra has way too much support for this to be a fair comparison. Do over.
I hope both are great, I have high hopes for GTA 5 after Red Dead, although Watch Dogs has me more blindly excited due to next gen visuals.
EA doesn't care they already have these guy's pre-order money. They won't spend extra money for launch day servers so everyone can avoid day 1 problems, they hope it'll sort itself out after a week or two.
They'll put their apology dept on it.
Sorry EA, but at the rate your killing your brands your going to have to create new ones that will do even worse. Dead Space seams to sell okay, so if your not making money off of it sounds like you have a problem with overpaid management and corporate types that have nothing to do with making the games.
If you don't care for Dead Space anymore since its not a money maker auction off the IP.
lol, just bought all-stars because I was tired of waiting for this to release. At least it was only 99c. Hope this one controls better.
All-stars is pretty good except for controls being a little wild feeling. You can unlock everything just by playing the game though Sega offers the chance to buy Sega Miles, but I don't feel that they added extra grind to encourage though. Races are pretty fast and you get miles fairly quick.
