PlayStation 4 Topic v1 [PS4]

[Tilemaxx]

Το PS3 είχε 60€ φέσι (όταν ο αμερικανός με την ισοτιμία του 2006 το αγόραζε περίπου 450€), αντίστοιχο περιμένω και με το PS4, βέβαια όλα τα ηλεκτρονικά στην Ελλάδα έρχονται με φέσι οπότε δεν θα μου κάνει καμία εντύπωση.

To δεύτερο παντελώς αδιάφορο. Το πρώτο όμως μου αρέσει πολύ μιας και γουστάρω φάσεις με δεινόσαυρους.

Lots of PS4 hardware tidbits

 

They don’t just use off-the-shelf HSA stuff; they are using OpenGL to the point of “full access to the hardware.”

They mention having to drop BC as being a necessary evil to make sure devs will be happy going forward.

They used what they learned from the Cell to make a powerful console. The did this by having to modify the GPU, etc (via ACE for proper compute processing).

He also talks about 4k gaming, and he said they are focusing on 1080p, but he did say that they can, for example, put the OS UI in 4k, but render the game in 1080p.

With that, he says they’d like to save as many resources as possible to ensure that 1080p because having the 4k UI alone will take 10 GB/s.

The drive can read CD’s–the system just won’t support playback of music CD’s.

He also mentions the custom on CPU chip and monitors all I/O systems (confirms ARM TrustZone).

Mentions background downloads and smaller initial sizes and play while downloading.

He mentions using BD and Hard drive combo for game reads and how to cut down load times.

Cerny also discusses the dedicated audio and video compression/decompression hardware for sharing videos and vita remote play.

The Android/iOS Playstation App lets you access all things Playstation. Store, game info, etc.

Regarding adding Vita remote play: “almost no overhead, without pain whatsoever, you will be able to Remote Play a game of PS4.”

So basically all PS4 games can be played on Vita EXCEPT those who use controller tracking or Move with the PS Eye.

They also talk about off-TV play.

Not all features will be there day one, but they will try to support everything they are planing going forward.

Also, OS is BSD, so they can make full use of multi-tasking.

Possible hint of PSOne discs being playable as the article was at one point corrected to distinguish between a lack of general CD support and a lack of music CD support, with some mention of ‘game compatibility’

OS is BSD-based to support rich multitasking; first time Sony is using that approach in a game machine

The idea of a secondary chip for low-power-state usage started to be talked about in 2009. European regulations around power consumption were part of the motivation.

Sony Wants to Win Next-Gen Console War with PS4, Says Developer

Jared Gerritzen, the leader and creative director at Zombie Studios, says that hardware maker Sony is determined to win the console war of the next generation of hardware, which will involve the PlayStation 4 and the unannounced Xbox 720 platform from Microsoft.

 

He tells Destructoid that, “I think Sony is really in to win this one. I’m good friends with a lot of guys at Microsoft, I’m under their NDA flag, and Microsoft definitely has a different outlook than Sony does.”

 

He adds, “Sony, like they say ‘Yeah, PlayStation 3 wasn’t what we wanted it to be in comparison in the arms race.’ So now they’re going hard, man. It’s pretty cool, on all points. I think that it will be really interesting to see what Xbox fires back with.”

New PS4 hardware, controller, PS Eye, UI details from Sony’s GDC presentation

 

- Targeted to be the “central device in the living room”
- “Core gamers are our primary audience
- PS4 build around them, salable to the outsiders
- 5 core PS4 principles: Simple, Immediate, Social, Integrated, Personalized
- PS4 CPU: 64-bit x86 arch, low power consumption, low heat, 8 cores, 8 HW threads, 2MiB L2 cache per 4 core group, 32kib l1 I/D-cache
- PlayStation Shader Language, very similar to HLSL, allows featured BEYOND Direct X 11 and OpenGL 4.0
- “GPU – Tessellation – adding geometric detail to smooth edges or create more organic shapes”
- PS4 RAM – 8GB 256 bit GDDR5 (GDDR5 is very high end graphics memory only found on PC graphics cards)
- Will come with “very large hard drive in every console”
- PS4 Dev Environment – Windows 7-bit, tools are fully integrated into Visual Studio 2010 and 2012
- “Debug your PS4 code as you would your PC code”
- PS4 Controller: Start/Select buttons are now “Options.” New System button is “Share.”
- Speaker, headset hack and “extension port” on the PS4 controller
- PS4 controller buttons are going back to digital over analog because no one used it on PS3
- PS4 controller L2/R2 – Curved design to get rid of the accidental netflix fast forwarding
- PS4 controller: 1920×900 resolution on the analog touchpad
- PS4 controller colors are the Player Numbers: 1-Blue, 2-Red, 3-Green, 4-Pink (Like the buttons)
- PS4 will charge controllers when it’s off. Unlike the PS3.
- PS4 controller light bar can be used for muzzle flashes, health bars, etc
- “The #PS4 Eye will enhance the PS4 user experience.” High sensitivity dual color cameras – 1280×800, 12 bits/pixel, 60Hz
- Dedicated port for the #PS4 camera, exclusive SCE Connector. Means it won’t use a USB port on the console, but won’t plug into your PC.
- Cam suggested uses: walkthrough vids, taunting in killcam, login, speech recognition, etc; possible PS4 Camera Magic – Sees the controller, you guys move, splitscreen moves to be on the right side
- The above is what devs could do (not mandatory)
- Video example shown of PS4 combining the camera and the controller. “AR Menu”
- Zoom into the controller, tilt to shake little dudes inside, push into our world like EyePet
- 2004: XMB, 2011: LiveArea, 2013: New #PS4 one based on the five principles from earlier
- UI is meant to give you at a glance info without loading the game. See what new DLC is out and whatnot. What friends are saying.
- Have to enable people seeing your real name on the #PS4. Auto-enabled if you import from another social network. (Can be turned off)
- PSN friend limit raised
- PS4 Mock-up: Heavy Rain choice with the number of your friends that chose each option.
- All the PS4 streaming and sharing: that’s on the hardware. Devs don’t have to do anything special to their game.
- PS4 Remote Play: Screens are mirrored on PS4/Vita (Both on at same time). Hardware does it/not on devs. Start at any time; no special mode.
- Talking about the PlayStation App. Login, buy game, PS4 starts downloading at home, you get home and start playing the part that’s DWLD.

Battlefield 4 'confirmed' for PS4 - report

Batman Arkham Origins reportedly coming to PS4 and new Xbox

[skanjos]

μάλλον πάμε για μια τραγική γενιά ,ειδικά στην αρχή της. που το στηρίζω αυτό? θα βλέπουμε παιχνίδια δουλεμένα σε παλιές engines για να τρέχουν στα ps3-360 (milking)και λίγο βελτιωμένες εκδώσεις τους στα ps4-xbox χωρίς να προσπαθούν καν να πουσάρουν τις νέες κονσόλες (multiplatform και ακόμα και σε μερικά exclusives ,gran turismo 6 ps3-ps4 incoming...)

 

ακόμα δεν ανακοινώθηκαν οι νέες κονσόλες και ξέρουμε για assasins 4-new batman-battlefield 4-new cod-new infamous-new killzone-new metal gear... ε δώστε νέα ip στον κόσμο,νέα γενιά έρχεται ,τα ίδια και τα ίδια θα παίζουμε? πιστέυω είδαν την παρακμή των gow-geow ειδικά σε σκορ,θέλουμε νέα fransizes,αν είναι να παίζουμε τα ίδια ΑΑΑ παιχνίδια με λίγο καλύτερα γραφικά γιατί να σκάσουμε 400ε? ειδικά αν βγαίνουν κιόλας στα ps3-360 το οποίο το θεωρώ τραγικό.

[Tilemaxx]

Κάπως έτσι θα πάει η δουλειά.

[cortaN@]

Έρχονται GTA V, Watchdogs + MGS5 σε 360/PS3 + αρκετά ακόμα που δεν ξέρουμε.

 

Νομίζω θα αργήσω πολύ να μπω στο τριπάκι να σκεφτώ για νέα κονσόλα. Εξάλλου υπάρχει και το PC.

 

Πάντως το PS4 φαίνεται δυνατό. Αυτό που του λείπει τώρα είναι νέα IP. Άντε να δούμε και τι θα μας φέρει η MS.

[Millennium]

Αμα δε βγαίναν σε ps4 κάποιες συνέχειες γνωστών ip θα είχαμε πάλι γκρίνια,μπορεί και από τους ιδιούς που λένε για νέα ip τώρα.Έχουν πλάκα οι gamers γενικά.Υπόψην κ'εγώ υπέρ των νέων ip είμαι αλλα μη ψάχνουμε να γκρινιάξουμε για το κάθε τι.
