there's nothing technical in this article though, this is just your usual PR bullcrap. But I'm really anxious to know what other modifications Sony did to the chip beside the 8 core thing.
And there must be something else because GDDR memory is not synchronized (there is a reason why PC uses DDR SDRAM for CPU and GDDR only for GPU) so it could create some bad latency when the CPU tries to access the memory pool and then the speed of the GDDR would be halved. In fewer ...
Holmes (aka Destructoid's #1 Nintendo fanboy)was hating on the PS4 conference in a very peculiar way: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
you need to remember that these are not 4 cores and 4 threads (Intel doesn't even make CPU's with more than 4 cores) meanwhile the APU on the PS4 will have 8 physical cores. And the higher the core count and its clock-speed the more heat is gonna generate so they can't make it be too fast because then it's gonna overheat. This is the reason why GPU's have much more lower clock-speeds than CPU's, because they have thousands of cores.
So my point is that...
CuriousGeorge, your analytical skills are godlike. ;)
but it's $400 without counting these:
Accessories:
DS4 – 18-30
PS4 Eye -$12-20
Mono headset – 3
Cabling/misc – 3
Unknown/Alpha:
Internal PSU – 25-55
Cooling – 20-38
Assembly – 13 (Based on being made in China, for made in Japan, make that ~ $45)
Total estimated system cost (no shipping and packaging) – $450-490
So the PS4's looking like it's gonna be...
3DS is selling like hotcakes so I highly doubt that Nintendo could ever go down with franchises as huge as Mario and Pokemon around the world. And then we have Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest exclusive to Nintendo platforms in Japan.
I don't get it, from where are all these PC fanboys coming from? I don't remember a single one of the complaining when the Wii U came out so this must be that they are scared their $600 GPU can't keep with the PS4? ;)
why did people approve this anyway? This is just spam. =/
the controller is ugly as sin. I hope they make it a little bit prettier!
I bought Persona 3 FES with my $10. ;)
I'm only lvl 12 and very few games but I have the PS3 and a PSN account since launch.
an CPU/apu even with 8 cores is hardly a beast. Cell is still more powerful... But PS4 is supposed to have faster memory and GPU than the PS3.
I remember beating the first KH game and then when I started with the second one I didn't play Chain of Memories first and I was like, I have no idea what is going on! Who are Organization 8, who is Roxas, why is Sora sleeping there? lol
Seriously, it blows my mind that this confusing mess still has fans left. =/
they already ruined it when they made so many spin-offs that are relevant to the main story-line on so many different systems.
PS3 has no gamez. ;)
DQX is a pay to play MMO. The game's destined to flop. Especially on Wii U, a console nobody even wants.
what a very well written and researched this piece is. /s
Funny thing is that all the defendants of this game already moved on and don't give a fk anymore, meanwhile, we the fans are still complaining and discussing this sht. That's the difference between a real fan and fake that is just caught in the hype. We care about the franchise but they don't but still, Capcom gave the middle finger to us and we responded by not buying the stupid game.
Am I the only one that is getting a broken link?
@HiddenMission I'm not wrong. You're wrong. Koji-Pro made the story but it was all according to PG's vision because they wanted to make it over the top.
"The vision I had and the script as it was didn't match," so he (PG director: Kenji Saito) had the entire thing rewritten." - http://me.ign.com/en/news/7...

like it should. Reviewers really have to stop giving 8-9-10 to every single Triple A budget game seriously. It's like the only thing games these days need is good graphics to receive good scores.
There are so many games getting 9's and 10's these days that those cores already lost their meaning.
goodbye PS1 BC. ;(
Seriously, I can't believe the PS4 will not even support PS1! So they are gonna force us to keep buying classics digitally and it will not even have BC with the content you have bought off the PSN on PS3. Wow, and to think that the Vita can do it....
