PS4 launch titles

And really who cares 'cause GAMEPLAY.

Ugliest futuristic city. Boxes, boxes everywhere

Yes, because this is obviously very important to look at. I didn't remember [insert your favorite developer] to get bashed for having subpar graphics.

Personally, I think the Killzone demo looks absolutely impressive. Problem is, "impressive" only lasts so long. "Interesting" is what I really care about, and for that I can condone low-poly boxes very much.

Yep, and the pc crowd will need 6x times the pc power to run shitty ports, so don't try to play ps4 games without two gtx titans 6gb 8 core i7 and 32gb ram

hahaah this

enjoy upgrading a shitload of hardware to play poorly optimized console ports pc fags

They're using AMD "Jaguar" Cores mang. That's a laptop CPU.

Questions?

I don't. It couldn't even manage to maintain 30FPS.

its still being 100 percent opimized for a specific hardware set that you dont have

ur fucked bro

Enjoy your overpriced laptop in box-form from a company that is going bust in ~5 years anyway.

No, he's simply an idiot.

I've read a lot of specs analysis the past few days and pretty much all of it can be sorted into two camps:

1) "Har har, this thing will be ancient the day it comes out compared to PC. The RAM is pretty good but the system will use up half of it on non-game applications and the rest will double as system memory and video memory. The rest of the system is shit. Don't worry about it."

2) "HOLY SHIT THAT'S GDRAM THIS THING IS BALLS TO THE WALL BROS GIVE UP YOUR PCS NOW IT'S OVER!"

As a layman I have no idea which is accurate really but I tend to go with #1 simply because #2 sounds like every PC is dead horror story article ever ran when new consoles are coming. They all end up looking stupid a year later.

 

[Borelli]

Ugh launching a new console events are when gamers fall into their basest urges and start fapping over graphics, and publishers know that so all info on new games is strictly graphics, no gameplay at all, no sir we don't want to scare them away.
It's like a full moon curse but instead of a monster you get turned into a graphicwhore.

 

[DalekFlay]

We should start a pool on first "is PC gaming dead?" article.

 

[Twinkle]

Specs are solid, but nothing particularly impressive.

Graphics chip is decent but 1.84 TFlops is barely above Radeon 7850 - a midrange GPU released in 2012.
While you won't find 8Gb of GDDR5 in your PC in foreseeable future current desktop CPUs are just not fast enough to really take advantage of bandwidth it offers (not to mention higher latency).
Though, most likely, CPU will be the weakest link. Jaguar architecture is aimed at mobile markets and is designed mainly with low power consumption rather than performance in mind.

However, that doesn't mean that barebones PS4 ports will run well by default, as API is different.

 

[taxalot]

With each new generation, the power of imagination and the connection games had with books is severed a little more.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

We should start a pool on first "is PC tasteful gaming dead?" article.

Fixed for truth. And yes.
Each new console generation only serves to further the whole industry's decline into brainless cinematics and emotional engagements. Of that which is worth playing these days, all I see is vapourware and beta-stage releases full of both promise and fail. And that occasional unexpected gem that makes it is never something that needs a dedicated platform.
So yeah, for most intents and purposes that matter, gaming is dead. What's left can be called "gaming" no more than rap can be called "music".
I won't be upgrading my 5 y/o PC with gaming in mind again, that's for sure.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Now we only need Bethesda making an emotionaly engaged cinematic Fallout 4 with tons of cutscenes and the decline will be complete. It cannot go any lower anymore.

 

[villain of the story]

Bethesda is made up of autistic morons so they could never do that kind of game. Their games are practically devoid of any emotional connection on a character level. Bioware, on the other hand, is full of emotionally arrested oversensitive crybabies and that's why they make the kind of games they do.

 

[A user named cat]

Consoles are only good for arcade racing games and a few needle in the shitstack RPGs (usually strategy-based). So I'm partially interested in Drive Club, looks like a better version of Test Drive and it's made by the dudes from the awesome Motorstorm series. Rest of the lineup looked like shit.

So now that we know that the PS4 uses an AMD CPU and GPU, and the Xbox 720 has been confirmed to use at least an AMD GPU, who wants to bet that the PS4 and Xbox 720 will have near-identical specs? I'm going to assume their CPU and GPU are exactly the same for ease of manufacturing, but perhaps clocked slightly differently, and the difference will come down to RAM, unless Microsoft want to take part in a pissing contest to match or beat Sony that way.

of course, its just going to be the last gen again, expect with an increasingly retracted market (due to tablets and phones sucking away all the casuals), much higher production costs due to all the time need to squeeze out dem graphics and microsoft and sony pouring even more money into bullshit social aspects noone cares about

its going to be gwawious

At least we had a semblance of a "console war" because the specs in the PS3 and Xbox 360 were so different, which led to varying quality of releases (most better on 360, some better on PS3). But if we end up with identical hardware inside, all that will really exist to differentiate the two consoles is their extra features and branding... which admittedly might be a good thing in the eyes of developers and publishers (less work), but part of me wants to say it's not a "console war" without having pointless arguments over which is most awesome/powerful/etc. Now all that matters is, do you want Move or Kinect? LIVE or PSN?

add to that the fact that there are virtually no exclusives now either. sony has god of war and uncharted. microsoft has halo and gears of war. publishers dont give a shit about exclusivity (and why should they?) and as their precious casual base continues to shrink there will be even less exclusives as they try to get as many sales as possible. really the only deciding factor between the two will be whether or not microsoft decides to commit suicide by implementing some terrible DRM/advertsising shit, and continues to charge for live

 

[Cromwell]

Who the fuck needs a console war, dumb and blind as I may be I bought a ps3 last year, living under a rock regarding console games until then I thought it would be a good idea given the old ps2 game lineup compared to the original xbox, just to find out afterwards as I left my rock that most of the good jrpgs came out for the 360. Not even the fellow japanese can be arsed to out their games on sony only : (

 

[Ebonsword]

Honestly, I probably be happy if the graphics on the PS4 looked just like the graphics on the PS3 except with a solid 60 fps (hell, I'd even take a solid 30 fps) and no pop-in.
