Decline PS4 wins the console war against XboxONE, yet it is a hollow victory as Consolesdämmerung is upon us

[J_C]

Aren't we limited in ram with 32 bit Windows bottlenecks anyway, something like 3.2 gigs?

Yes, on Windows 32 bit, that is the limit. I guess they worked around that on the PS4, or more likely, it is a 64 bit system.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

The thing is In think virtually no pc game goes beyond the 32 bit ram limit due to the legacy support need, and it won't change for a very very long time.

So it looks like consoles will now have an advantage on PC games on that front, which are ram constrained.

We'll see.
Allready Win7 64bit takes a pretty large part of the cake for pc gamers, at least according to Steam user survey.
By early next year the fraction of 64bit users will likely be even bigger, so with consoles using 64bit as well, I think the chances for multi-platform releases being 64bit on pc as well aren't that small after all.

Crysis 3 still uses a 32 bit executable.

That's the limit on physical RAM Windows can address (well it depends on a few things, I've seen it as high as 3.6), but it's not the limit how much RAM a program is allocated. That limit is 2 gigs.

After "ARMA Tactics for Nvidia Shield", nothing suprises me...

I doubt any of these consoles will be able to even come close to 6 years old Crysis.

Yeah, I also doubt they will have editors allowing you to create and screenshot scenes that rendered at 0.2FPS.

Rex Exitium (or whatever the fuck you people call him) spotted commenting on the "no female Sony presenters" issue:

That hashtag leads to a Twitter feed of women complaining about every real or imagined instance of misogyny in computer and video games.

Fired it up a few month ago, game looks like shit these days and has awful performance still.

You forgot to write your point

Which game looks better? You need to give examples bro. You can't just leave this hanging

The west has been a fucking pox on console gaming. Shooter, shooter, shooter, interactive movie, shooter, interactive movie shooter. Not that the Japs much have their act together either, but at least they were open to trying new ideas, believe games should be challenging, and understand that a console is fundamentally an extension of the arcade and not a watered down extension of PC gaming.

Weren't you supposed to leave after the onlive scandal? You have no shame.

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

Well that certainly is interesting.

Sony bought Gaikai and is using it for PS4. Itz coming, like it or not. Don't be surprised if MS buys Onlive.

Onlive is a joke, their tech doesn't even work. They couldn't ever figure out GPU virtualization, that means they had to have a video card for every customer connected. MS would be better building their own system from scratch.

Crysis 3 still uses a 32 bit executable.

Both Crysis 2 and 3 are console ports (largely corridor shooters in a restricted world and highly dependent on setpieces), and on top of that they were disappointments compared to the first game.

Btw. 4K Screenshots of that Killzone game demo thing (which would mean its either a target render, or was rendered on some form of high-end PC for now): http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/

I just watched the PS4 conference and it was two boring hours just to essentially say "Wait for E3".

-So much PR speak that it felt like a parody of PR speak
-Stale games all across (I still don't get the big deal about Watch Dogs)
-Many promises, little to no chance that they can prove themselves
-Square Enix trolling
-Little gameplay shown

Nothing about this conference felt like Sony learned or that this generation has matured. Why do people in this day and age still fall for those trailers and tech demos?

The average polycount on these background buildings is prolly like 10

 

[Rpgsaurus Rex]

It's probably gonna have one Wizardry exclusive and 99.9% of shit, still making it worth a purchase.

 

[Morgoth]

Higher dpi monitors is what is more important, not 4K resolution on big ass screens where I need to turn my head left and right like on a fucking STOP sign.

I like the flat rooftop textures that looks stolen from Google Earth.

Crysis 3.

There is people out there that loves bloom so much that thinks Crysis 1 for XBOX is better than the PC version
