PS4 "Orbis" Next GEN consoles - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Sony has an event coming up on February 20. Everyone is speculating that it's the PS4 announcement.

***Future240*** · 02-02-2013, 07:55 PM

3 years short of the life span Sony first put out. I am really hoping it is the PS4. If the PS4 and NextBox/Xbox 720 drops this year I am going to be one broke mofo.

They can still produce and sell the PS3 for another three years if there is still some demand. Similar to the run the PS2 had till it ended last year.

***Future240*** · 02-03-2013, 06:21 AM

I meant more how it will not be the lead console anymore. Though I read the article again and you are correct. Sony meant producing it.

Still it's hard to believe the PS3 came out almost 7 years ago. Technology has changed so much since then.

closer than i thought.

tomorrow is the conference.

ditchs14 · 02-20-2013, 12:00 AM

basically the hardware will be the same with both consoles. both will have amd in them. its going to come down to online, features, console exclusive games, and what all your bros have.

*exitspeed* · 02-20-2013, 04:15 PM

Officially announced a few min ago.

w0nderbr3ad · 02-20-2013, 05:01 PM

finally some co-op team racing

Is split screen making a comeback? That is the #1 reason I won't buy any new consoles. If I want to play online I'll play PC games. Consoles for me are best to play with friends at your house, but the lack of split screen games makes them less and less appealing to me. I only use my consoles as media centers now.

w0nderbr3ad · 02-20-2013, 05:14 PM

They didn't show any split screen, but it seems like it was catered more to online team playing.

FML. I'll stick with my PS3.

Watch it live: Sony’s PS4 announcement | Hero Complex – movies, comics, pop culture – Los Angeles Times

it has been live since 6pm EST, pretty neat stuff so far, but haven't hit on any DRM stuff.

***Future240*** · 02-20-2013, 06:07 PM

8gbs of ram! PC wise that is meh, but for a console that is quite a bit.

K_style · 02-20-2013, 06:09 PM

I guess I have no reason to get PS4 till new Gran turismo comes out...

w0nderbr3ad · 02-20-2013, 06:09 PM

I'd hold off on buying a PS4, just because they didn't demo a lot that really interested me.

ddr5? nope. current mobo only use DDR3 so far.

DDR5 has double the bandwidth.

current gpu only have 2-3gb. only high end $800-1000 gpu cards like the hd7990, toxic or asus ares has only 6gb.

8gb ddr5 = 4ktv

ps4 = 4ktv

4 = 4

4 + 4 = 8

it all adds up.

4ktv gaming = death of split screen.

dance dance revolution 5 is pretty old school man

JadedNazgul · 02-20-2013, 10:56 PM

I really like what they showed. The "deep down" demo from capcom looked really good. I'm a big monster hunter fan so that got me very interested. It also had that dark/demons souls vibe going on. I'm really hoping for the GT6 announcement though...

DRIFTER-M · 02-20-2013, 11:26 PM

That conference was, in my opinion, the best Playstation conference of all time including E3.

Sony went out there with a plan to put all the numbers aside, show what they had planned early, and then just give us demo after demo and loads of info. You have to imagine they have some secrets kept for E3 too (besides obviously showing the console itself).

I don't know how competition can keep up, honestly. What they have produced with this console is pretty ground breaking.

If the rumor for price is true (some reports saying 2 skus - one @ $399, one at $499/ some reports are saying 2 skus - one @ $429, one at $499) for the technology, it is quite a deal. Cheaper than PS3 @ launch, and way more advanced (which honestly surprised me).

KZ: Shadow Fall is unreal. Just had to say that. Was really amazing.

***Future240*** · 02-21-2013, 07:56 AM

Depending on price I plan to buy 2-3 consoles and sell on eBay.

Like in 2020 ish I think...

Driftwire · 02-21-2013, 11:02 AM

I had GT5 on my PS3 but I got bored of it. I sold the Ps3 for an Xbox and love forza more.

Dutchmalmiss · 02-21-2013, 12:01 PM

So has anyone seen the console itself? The biggest question for me is if it even has an optical drive.

It's been said that used games WILL be playable, but we don't know for sure if that means being able to just stream it.

No native backwards-compatibility really aggravates me.

Dang, you really missed the event huh? lol

The did NOT show the console last night.

They did NOT confirm if it has an optical drive but that is does have HDD.

They are using the Gaikai t stream all PS3 (and assuming PS1 and PS2 games as well) games instantly onto PS4 so that isn't an issue.

Dutchmalmiss · 02-21-2013, 01:20 PM

Yeah, didn't wanna go through the boatloads of articles about it haha. All I got was there were no pics of the console.

I now see that there is an 8x blu-ray drive, so yay for that.

Stream PS3 games? Can't use my hardcopies?

***Future240*** · 02-21-2013, 04:01 PM

This means that E3 is going to be a pretty big event. Both sony and Mircrosoft will be debuing their consoles.

Yeah, definitely. Although, I don't see the two consoles being significantly different. The PS4 seems like a combo of the Wii, 360, and PS3 in terms of capabilities already.

I say this every year, but cross-platform gaming would be the next best thing. Not sure how close or far we are from achieving that.

3D seems to be a flop, and motion activated integration is going to be here to stay.

No because the cpu architecture is different. Speaking of which, the switch to the x86 architecture is HUGE. Developing on it should be much easier compared to the PS3 architecture. I just hope game developers really explore the possibilities of this platform and not get saddled with minute ports.

I'm not too keen on the social push and the UI enhancements, but I'll wait and see how it handles in practice. As for the graphics, a lot was WIP and development code...but still not bad when you consider the games will be predominately in 1080p vs. 720p. I thought this screenshot looked impressive, as it captures some minute details (like the gleam in the eyes)...

One of the big mysteries I'm wondering about it is how streaming older games will actually happen without having the user pay extra.

Cross platform gaming would be AMAZING. I am really curious to see what Mircrosoft does with the NextBox. In terms of hard core gaming 360 was the undisputed champ.
