This information tallies with what Eurogamer has heard from our own sources. We understand that as of six months ago Sony was testing a controller that had an LCD touch-screen on the front and biometrics functionality on the back. These designs, we were told, have changed almost every month, but are for the controller for the next PlayStation.

Sony better not be wasting r&d money on some biometric bullshit and sixaxis crap.

No one gives a shit about the back touchpad on the vita either. Yeah its funny but come ooooon.

cool breeze · « **Reply #914 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:23:01 PM »

If I had to guess, the lcd screen will be small (sub-3.5 inch) and meant for additional inputs/navigation rather than a full on tablet for streaming like the Wii U. Well, that's what I'd prefer. No one would put it past Sony to copy it and use its gaikai connection to make a (technically) better wii u.

Why are biometric controllers brought up every once in a while? The example companies give (Valve, Cabella, Nintendo, etc.) is always "the game will adapt to your heart rate!" now the 2pro4u players will drop some valium before they play? I don't get it. Dynamic difficulty is already underutilized in games (God Hand, Sin Episodes,

) so I don't understand why anyone will pursue it? at the end of the day it'll just meant he controller will lose some grip and battery life from the operation.

I just hope whatever Microsoft is doing, it includes a nice traditional controller that's more or less the 360 pad with better buttons and d-pad, and maybe a small touchpad (like the ouya).

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #915 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:35:12 PM »

I'd be fine with some form of LCD screen on either controller. Biometric shit I could care less about.

Quote

Distilled down to the fundamentals, these are the details we can share about the technological make-up of the next generation PlayStation.
CPU: Eight-core AMD processor running at 1.6GHz
Graphics core: Radeon HD hardware, 18 compute units at 800MHz
Additional hardware: GPU-like Compute module, some resources reserved by the OS
System-on-chip codename: Liverpool
Memory: 4GB GDDR5, 512MB reserved by the OS

Borys will be happy.

Weeeoooo lol

Interesting how it has "only" 512MB reserved for OS.Weeeooo has 1GB and next xbox is rumored to have 3GB(although some rumors say that plan is to end up with 1GB).

It'd be disappointing if sony didn't include the nicer features from the Vita, or even the Xbox 360 features the PS3 never caught up with. Stuff like custom soundtracks for every game, taking screenshots for every game, web browser running in background, etc.

I could see a native video streaming/twitch-esque service on a console appealing to some. Something I'd expect more from Microsoft than Sony.

Man Wii U is royally fucked now. I mean not that it wasn't but I almost bought the "PS4/ 720 will not be super powered machines, yall see!" mantra from devastated ninfags.

Now I can put it all to rest... Wii U is the garbagest of the garbage.

if they were super powered machines, the wii U would be slightly less fucked as they'd ride in at PS3 prices and prolong the current generation.

as it is, their modest specs should come with a modest price within $50-100 of what nintendo's ode to 2006 costs, while still providing a clear generational severance.

my feeling is that van cruncheon has been way too bullish for MS to field a 1.3tflop little dick console. he doesn't seem the kind to pin a D+ to the fridge.

With the architectures being so similar, how are the two consoles going to distinguish themselves from the other? Controller designs? Exclusives? If that DF article is accurate, I can't remember the last time two competing consoles were so similar hardware-wise.

Yes, that was masterful work on MS's part. XBL is where your friends game so of course you're going to jump to the next system of theirs.

I have to imagine the long console generation also helped establish some brand loyalty across a very wide age range as well.

I wonder if increased budgets will produce even less inclination to bring Japanese games over to the west?

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #940 on:** January 18, 2013, 08:58:33 PM »

That's true; I guess I was thinking more in context of the 720 (i.e., less Japanese support for it). Given the similarity of the architectures, though, maybe that's not an issue.

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #941 on:** January 18, 2013, 09:00:01 PM »

If we assume anemic support for the 720 in Japan, are we likely to see a higher proportion of Japanese games being brought over to the PS4 only?

Quote from: Oscar the Grouch on January 18, 2013, 09:01:53 PM

smaller companies and japan-focused projects, sure. stuff like ni no kuni or yakuza or disgaea.

but most of that stuff is going to end up on 3ds anyway. 720 will still get the important stuff like resi, dmc, metal gear, final fantasy, and so forth.

You don't think increased budgets next generation are going to tilt the 720 even more in favor of western devs? I mean, like an even higher proportion of west:east dev support than already exists on the 360?

Rusty Shackleford · « **Reply #943 on:** January 18, 2013, 09:09:37 PM »

It's a shame the N64 controller developed such a bad reputation; its optical sensing design is more precise and reliable than the potentiometer-based sticks we use today. The N64 sticks lost precision over time because the stick axes wore each other down. If the N64 sticks had been made of a more durable plastic (or metal) from the start, we might be using the optical design still today.

Rumor about Durango in/outgame OS functions

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/386889/microsoft-to-replace-xbox-live-voice-chat-with-skype/

A person familiar with the matter said Microsoft will be "consolidating all their communications technology" around the Skype platform. This means that Skype will become the default chat service on the next generation Xbox console as well as on PC and tablets, the person said.

He added: "You might jump to the conclusion that we'll see asynchronous voice and video messages in next-gen Xbox Live".

As a kid, I had no problem with the N64 controller. in fact, I played N64 more than my PS1 because I was such a sucker for Zelda, Mario and the golden days of Rare. Was really a huge nfag back then.

You got lucky with the N64 controller! The sticks on mine started to grind into dust about a year after I got them (too much Mario Party

).

When I got an N64 in 2005 (years after getting rid of my original one), I bought a box of 10 spare OEM sticks on eBay for about $20. Real ones, optical sensors and all. I think I could sell each one for $10 nowadays; turns out real ones in good shape are rare! Those cheap knockoffs they have on eBay now are terribly imprecise.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #959 on:** January 19, 2013, 09:28:17 AM »

I think they can put vita games on psn anyways, just remove some bits and bobs that have to do with vita functionality.
