The geometry is too detailed to be a PS2 game, but yes, it certainly doesn't look very impressive in those shots. The PS3 is really starting to show its age.

Exactly what Sony want people to think ahead of their next console debut

The pheggotry of this page...

CoD will be popular next gen but it won't be the biggest franchise of next gen. I'd imagine another title will take its crown eventually. I don't really fuck with console shooters but the series' appeal is undeniable: simple/smooth controls and great multiplayer. I'm sure weeo fans will have fun with the 360 ports of it for years to come.

there was no way it was gonna look as good as the early stuff and keep up that level of quality for a full game.  The system may have tricks up its sleeve but the parts are still many years old.

i refused to get as hype as people got with this game.  Naughty Dog is one of the most talented studios, but I still have yet to see anything to let me know it's not Zombcharted.

what if it turns out there's a huge gameplay twist?   Like they're walking through a destroyed city and turn a corner, only to find everything is dusty and desert-looking, with men with guns and cloth wrapped around their faces are everywhere.  Then a truck runs Joel and Ellie from behind, killing them.  A bunch of guys are riding on the truck and the camera focuses in on one of them-- it's Solid Snake and this is the opening cut scene to MGS4!!!!  Then it turns out that the rest of the game is just the same old MGS4 we played before with nothing added and you never revisit the Last of Us storyline.  When you beat MGS4, it changes the title screen to MGS4 and locks you out of ever playing the Last of Us segment again.  For all intents and purposes your disc has a Last of Us label, but is actually MGS4.  Gamestop trade-in value will reflect as such.

Then it turns out if you press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start on the title screen, the game turns into Ground Zeroes and the whole thing was a Kojima scam.

Meanwhile in WiiU land

http://www.chipworks.com/blog/technologyblog/2013/02/04/looking-at-the-wii-u-graphics-processor/
Quote
Late last week we discovered a gaming message board called Neogaf where they were crowd-sourcing funds to buy die photos of the multi-chip CPU/GPU package in the Nintendo Wii U. They had raised enough to purchase top metal die photos of the CPU, the GPU and the tiny NOR memory chip.

To a manufacturer of said chips, these types of top metal die images are useful, but for the purposes of analyzing the specifications, you need to go a little lower and look at the polysilicon layer. Rather than have the community continue to raise money, we thought we would step-in and help out. Since (at the time of publication for this blog) we are only 1 day away from the release of Dead Space 3, we thought that the gaming community might be able to put their funds to better use.

I cant imagine MS doing this, that would basicly mean they gave up on europe since being underpowered AND service oriented would kill it here.

Theyve had too much success with their current approach to completely change direction now.

long ass gen  :violin

The more I see of this game the less enthused I get.

I thought ND said ammo would be extremely scarce and you'd have to really think about when to use your guns as every bullet would count? Also encounters against non human enemies would require you to evade instead of fight. Hopefully it offers those in a different difficulty level.

Atm it looks like Uncharted with extra blood and violence, even down to coming up behind enemies and 'subduing' them. Even worse we have another dev who seems to think they're  taking game narrative to the next level.

Have a feeling it's going to fall flat despite being technically good. I don't expect any game writers to stand up and say the emperor is naked though.

I feel kind of bad for the gaf posters that care more about hardware and specs than enjoying games.

I'm still holding to my uneducated opinion that they'll both look roughly the same after all is said and done.

That's what hardcore 'enthusiasts' do and they're pretty legion on Gaf at the moment. Especially with new machines on the horizon.

Also their are lots of new PC fegs with their new fangled machines thinking they're superior.

Videogames are like music now. It's just not enough to like games anymore. It's which games do you like and what system are you playing them on to increase your epeen score.

I'm actually getting pumped for the 2 new consoles. Kinda bummed I have to wait until the fall to play them.

I'd argue it's closer to car enthusiasts.  There are varying levels of appreciation outside of driving the cars.  Some people are genuinely interested in the tech behind the games and I don't doubt they can derive as much enjoyment as those playing the games.  Same with some about sales.  Problem is when you mix it into a diverse community like gaf; most are just looking for ammo in some silly squabble.

Ultimately everyone should want both consoles to be as good as they can be.  A significantly more powerful playstationbox or xstation won't matter much when it'll get the harrison bergeron effect and be limited by the lesser one.

anyway, I was just thinking about the games we know about but haven't seen and how disappointing it'll be when they're announced for existing consoles.  Games like Batman Arkham 3.  At least if there are up ports, I'm hoping it's more than what we see now with PC ports (enhanced textures, frame rate, resolution, etc.)

Why would Bethesda port Skyrim?
I've played it on both 360 and PC,PC version looks much better but the game is the same(minus mods).360 version just needs little "getting used to".Maybe if it was really really cheap,I've already spent like $120 on the damn game.

Give me BC and make new games.

Sony went all out with HD ports this gen so I bet that trend continues. Especially if backwards compatibility is gone.

I’m sure we’ll see a Ratchet PS3 Collection, Uncharted Collection, Killzone… all of them with some minor improvements and all the DLC included

Quote
There’s been a ton of info thrown around about Sony and Microsoft’s next gen consoles.  Nothing is concrete and it’s all speculation.  We won’t know anything official until Sony’s event on February 20th and Microsoft’s inevitable unveiling at E3.  I received some inside info last week and took the time to do some more digging.  This info I’m about to give you could change at any time so take it with a grain of salt until February 20th.

Everyone should know by now that the elite team of Bizarre developers was split up after being closed by Activision.  Ged Talbot, beastly lead designer of Blur and several PGR games, along with a few other ex-Bizarre members have been scooped up by Evolution Studios.  If you’ve put 2 and 2 together you can guess that Ged is now a member of the same team that brought you the Motorstrom series.  Wait, it gets deeper.  Several members of Studio Liverpool have also joined the team and they are working on a new next gen racer for Sony’s Playstation 4.  The game is supposed to be similar in style to PGR.  They wanted to make it part of the Gran Turismo series a la Forza Horizon, but Japan nipped that in the bud.  Evolution Studios is now composed of some of the best racing developers in the industry with Ged Talbot at the helm.  If you played any of their games, especially Blur, you know these guys put in work.  Internally they are calling it Europe’s biggest racing game in a decade.

The next exciting bit I found out about this new mystery racing game is that it will be shown on February 20th at Sony’s Playstation event, along with another next gen shocker from Guerrilla Games.

So what’s going on in Microsoft’s camp?  Apparently, ex-Bizarre and Criterion developers are working on a next generation PGR5 game for the next Xbox.  As you already may know, the ex-Bizarre developers formed Lucid games and are located in Liverpool.  They are taking the existing PGR code base and upgrading it for the next generation Xbox.

Here’s where it gets even more interesting.  My source tells me that both Sony and Microsoft are aiming to have these exclusive racing games ready for launch.  We will have more information posted tonight, so stay frosty!
