Nope. The eDRAM chip will be insanely fast, they can stick textures for rendering a range of models in there, render the models, then slowly pull a new texture in from the slow RAM and use it in the super fast eDRAM chip again (probably has enough space for a few high res textures as well as a few frame-buffers for deferred rendering).
The graphical bottlenecks on current consoles are mostly in the shaders, but also in RAM quantity. I have no doubts that the shaders in the wi...
Actually it's a lot more than 8 times as powerful, the memory is 8 times as fast but the shader performance scales way beyond that.
It does seem a little underpowered on paper, but I think it will be extremely easy to develop for due to the RAM quantity (compared to ps3 and 360, also Sony and MS take a very hard line towards developers) so if enough sell, a lot of small-medium developers will be attracted meaning there could be some incredible games.
One of the chips on the substrate (the tiny one) is probably a specialized eDRAM or similar memory chip which will be able to perform ~instant calculations o...
Looks scarily legit if you ask me :S
Getting into a local debug shouldn't be an issue alone, if it provides forms for removing other people's accounts I would assume there is security at the node wherever that communicates to - it is likely they compiled the controller's software with the debug menu still in it, a silly mistake but it should be safe. (I could imagine programming this in a way where there are no client-side checks because it's a debug menu and ...
Game development costs have already capped out. Artists are already creating assets at insane qualities (the engine/pipeline then lowers the quality as needed for the game), or are capable of it and actually have to work harder to make them optimal.
Programmers are already capable of implementing the highest quality effects and other graphics, but they have to spend a lot of time making them work on current gen hardware (near the end of the next gen it will revert to 30fps slugfest th...
Give us a Pokémon MMO, Nintendo.
Looks like they had to get it ready for launch because the Wii-U needed some titles, was probably shaping up to be a lot more.
No, no they should not. Do you have any idea how the hardware works? No, thought not. The only way to ensure BC is physically putting PS3/PS2/PS1 hardware in the actual PS4 which would make it really expensive, that was a bit of an issue for the original PS3 but it'd be an even bigger problem in the PS4 (especially PS3 BC)
What? You are butthurt over technology evolving? Makes no sense.
"it will use similar tech."
you are talking total tripe.
He mostly just described the game, like he was reading a list made by marketing people about the "unique selling points" and "gameplay mechanics", seriously.
Anyway, from what I've seen it looks pretty good. Not sure I'll buy it new for full price though (just because Enix).
Yeah that's about the only one haha. Need to find a power cable for my xbox because I managed to lose it :( Might buy a ps3 instead in case I want to play multiplayer for 5 minutes (i'd rather spend more money unnecessarily than pay for P2P multiplayer)
No No No. Lock wanted level, then you get a 9mm, knightstick and a police uniform and hop in a cop car and patrol around looking for nutjob drivers!
I might have done this...
Invincibility was annoying because it only made you immune to bullets, and not the ones from the heli (the one thing you need to not take damage from to have awesome car chases).
(talking about SA in this post, mostly)
Hackers have an obsession with all major consumer electronics. Some for interest, some to make money off it. There are hackers out there with more skill than any major company (a lot of them work for major companies and still hack hardware as a hobby - that's usually how they landed their job).
People will put all their effort into reverse engineering the retail model anyway.
Do you really give a crap about graphics that much? It's GTA!!!!!!!
Also, so true about kevnb's comment above me lol. I don't have a fancy graphics card in my PC, it can run any game at a decent frame rate at my resolution though so I am sorted (and it was cheaper than a console, the rest of the hardware I already had/needed and is nowhere near top of the range either). I play fast paced or multiplayer games on minimum for elitist 100fps lol (an old habit from CS:...
I'd actually guess that PS2 emulation will be feasible, the problem is that games could need support in the official emulator (like xbox games on the 360).
Sony's tradition of complex hardware architectures makes emulation require more processing power (in general), the PS3's atypical architecture makes emulation awkward because of it's very split CPU resources into different cores which require specific application design (the OP-Codes to be run by the emulat...
Oh ok lol. I have a grudge against PC retailer's annoying marketing, they like to bundle top of the range CPUs with bad graphics cards, or dual bad graphics cards to make it sound better when in reality one higher end card with a weaker CPU would make a better gaming machine and be cheaper.
It needs a Pokémon MMO.
Well, it'd take an insane amount of processing power to emulate the PS3, and the hardware is expensive so it'd mean buying a PS3 again inside your PS4 and it makes a lot of heat so that makes the cooling solution impractical.
If they want to make the PS4 good, they can't have PS3 BC, deal with it.
