Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Some of the Pixeljunk games let you do that. I'm sure there's more examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah, most, but not all Vita games let you take screen shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Eh, I'm half n' half on this still. Sure there's the Wall Street Journal bit, and it has been over the 5 year mark where new consoles usually show their face. There is some talk that you can see some "4" shapes/lines, but that could always be a result of whatever effects that were loaded into the small clip. Anyway, there's got to be more to this than them simply saying there's this new console. The supposed dev kits that were given out? We have to see something next-gen.

Waldorf and Statler Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 All Sony has to do is make a console that is more technologically impressive to win me over. Microsoft needs to literally BLOW ME THE FUCK AWAY to keep me with them. As I don't play nearly as many shooters as I did before they need to have something major for me to go "damn, i want that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I play my PS3 more than my 360, but weirdly it's because I care about 360 achievements but don't give a shit about PS3 trophies, so I play games on PS3 so I don't blow my percentage on 360. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I play my PS3 more than my 360...because I have been watching blu-rays more than I have been playing Halo 4. Seriously, though, I won't care about new consoles for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah, I've still large swath of console library to get through and PC is doing me just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah, my interest is mostly academic. atm I can't think of any games that would get me to buy a PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Well there's always that Final Fantasy XV built close to 95-05 era FFs that could woo me. I dunno, I guess not many games and potential games I'm massively looking forward to at the moment. Be interesting to see what they could bring to the table in tech/functions/features and what games that might lead to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah, there's always the possibility they could come out with something I'm not anticipating to make me go DO WANT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 If I buy a PS4 it'll be for many reasons. 1. I can't afford a high-end PC to play fancy ass games. 2. Exclusives. 3. Coding is supposed to be easier so the difference between 360/PS3 games shouldn't be as big in the next-gen 4. J-RPG's and jap games in general. I'm a much bigger anime fan than I am say over military shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 If the current rumors circulating about the next-gen are true, it kinda sounds like the PS4/Orbis GPU is going to be fairly powerful compared to the new Xbox because Microsoft is going for affordability over flashiness. Of course, this is still a rumor right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I wonder if PC ports of AAA console games will drop off with the new console generation. I seem to recall a lot of console exclusives at the beginning of the last console cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I wonder that too. I also wonder what effect it will have if the rumors are true and the PS4 significantly outclasses the 720. Seems like that would make console development less attractive because you wouldn't be able to make multiplats as easy. Either that or the PS4 version of multiplats would just be gimped by the 720's capabilities. And depending on how far apart they are you could end up with a weird situation where you have Wii U/720 multiplats that are developed to Wii U's capabilities, and then 720/PS4 multiplats that are developed to the 720's capabilities (with each console obviously having their own exclusives as well).

Strangelove Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 This sounds fanboyish as fuck, but by now a lot of us PS3 owners are used to our exclusive games beating the shit out of multiplats and 360 exclusives when it comes to the graphics department.

deanb Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 @Goh: I don't think so, especially as the current rumours are the PS4 n Xbox 3 are basically just IBM-compatibles inside so porting to or ,probably likely given current next-gen titles known, from PC should be simpler than current gen. Of course there will be a ton of exclusive first n second party titles since they need to make their new console look pretty awesome. @TME: Most console multi-plats now are already gimped by X360 capabilities. I'd say it depends how much the Xbox 3 sells on which would become lead platform for 8th gen development (though as already said I reckon PC if current spec rumours are true) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I know, but the 360 is a lot closer to the PS3 than the rumors are suggesting the 720 and PS4 will be. *Edit* - Also, and now it's my turn to sound like a fanboy, Halo 4 looked as good as anything I've seen on PS3.

deanb Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Aren't they both rumoured to be rocking AMD X86 chips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I can't find where, but I'd read rumors that the PS4's GPU was /way/ better than the 720's. Rumors though, so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Oh you're talking in Ghz not in architecture. As long as they're the same architecture the Ghzs n cores shouldn't matter too much. PC games already deal with a broad range of Ghz n cores. Current gen: PC - X86 X360 - PowerPC(tweaked with Cell components) PS3 - Cell BE (Highly modified PowerPC) Wii - PowerPC Next gen: PC - X86 Xbox 3 - X86(I think it's rumoured) PS4 - X86 (rumoured) Wii U - PowerPC Ouya - ARM OnLive/Gaikia - X86(but anything, it's virtualised) I think it's worth mentioning the main difference is that ARM, PowerPC and it's variants are RISC, which is why these types of processors are used for things like phones and consoles. Whereas X86 used on general purpose computers, are CISC. CISC isn't great for consoles, but I've a feeling the potential use of x86 chips for 8th gen consoles is likely a response to the seemingly increasingly dominant position of PC gaming. It would allow with it an ease of porting and increase in third party support (something Sony enjoys a fair chunk of over the years up until Cell) with PC-centric/multi-plat studios.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 But why are they using AMD as the benchmark for PC processing when it's so very often crap compared to Intel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm gonna take a stab in the dark n say that AMD are cheaper. They can also offer a more unified solution too since they own ATI, whereas all Intel has on the GPU front is the Intel GMA and that super sucks.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I actually have no bias, here. I generally buy AMD processors because they're cheaper. But it is what it is. : \ Dean's explanation makes sense anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
