Can you port God of War III to PC bro, I don't want to buy Poorstation 3 just for one game.

Not yet... never played it, but I just looked up the ratings on Metacritic, and holy shit :lol

Nevermind, I see there is a really good port of it to PS4. :lol

[Reck]

Game looks exactly the same on the PS4. :lol people who rebought it.

It runs at a lot higher framerate on PS4.

You really cant tell imo. The game runs smooth as fuck on the PS3. Never saw any type of lag while playing it.

The PS3, surprisingly got up to like 53fps at certain points in that vid. Not bad.

[hater]

That's it??? Prety lame imo

:lol PCrap4

[Mikeanaro]

Looks cool, but I think 500gb at this day and age is not too much, thats the only negative thing I can say about PS4, God of war 3 is an awesome game but the best in my opinion is GOW 2.
And back to the Star Wars game, why the hell is multiplayer only??? I only play Splayer games.

Electronic Arts doing Electronic Arts things... I also mostly play single player, so I'm gonna pass on Battlefront too..

500 is just the standard. You can swap the harddrive yourself for an much bigger one.

500 is plenty enough for me. I'll never use that many space. And I play and buy a lot of games.

I probably download 5 games per month. :lol

Agreed, the must funny thing is they started as a small ass company, they had their road rashes, their Need For Speeds Theme Parks etc and I dont remember when but they grew up to a giant company acquiring small developers to kill them and exploit their IPs, the other big I can think of is Actiblizzard whose games I dont enjoy too much lately.

I dont know, I only have 3 games right now, Driveclub and Killzone are physical, and Fifa 15 which came with the console eats 16 gig, Driveclub and Killzone they have like 14 gig each and the operating system eats a good chunk of space.
Never opened the console or even saw the hardisk, it is a standard sata or some lame experiment like the xbox360 one?

That was fucking disappointing. The game looked great at E3, but the only time I like MP is in either fighting or sports games so I'm passing too.

Then you're lucky. Most games need 40gbs. The new Batman game is like 55gb.

I dont know what you mean. You could never upgrade the xbox to a bigger harddrive like you could the PS3 and 4. It is the actual internal hard drive you swap out for a let's say if you want a 2TB disk on the Sony consoles.

All you have to do is slide the lid off the PS4 and then some screws and then you're good to go.

It's the easiest thing ever. I haven't replaced mine but I did open it up to fix the auto ejection that some units had.

It looks good, now I know how it works, but I need to be careful with diskspace for a while, hdd like that corsair one are pretty expensive here and then there is the thing that I prefer physical over digital, we have the best looking games ever and the manuals are a joke, two pages of nothing :cry
Long gone are the days of the spectrum and commodore 64 when games had big books and I was too young to buy them.

I hear that. I myself prefer the physical copies when I buy actual retail games.

I only buy digital games when it's games like the telltale ones and the games that are given to me free with the ps+.

The bastards are not even including booklets in games anymore. 2 out of the last 3 games I've bought had no manuals at all.

The only way you could get a good deal these days is if you buy the limited editions which is like 100+ bucks. Fuck that.

[ElNono]

The MGSV physical copy for PC simply includes the Steam installer, I kid you not :lol

The only digital game in my possession is Hard Corps Uprising because there is no physical version.
One of my best friends is a huge steam collector and with our actual devaluation he saves some money not too much excepting those summer sales, but I´ve read articles about people having problems with fairly modern games like Max Payne 3 in windows 8 maybe with consoles is not such a big deal unless Sony/M$ are pulling the cord from servers.
Limited editions are too good to me, very pricey considering 2 of those dumb games are worth the same than the console :nope.

Has been finally announced... :D

Damn, so you did those ports? You got fucking glowing reviews from Digital Foundry, man those games look so much better.

[ElNono]

Worked on some of that... :D

Some of those old games are pretty dope, tbh... never played them before working on 'em... we even had to fix some known bugs on the original games :lol

Not sure how much I can talk about... so I'll be quiet...

Fan Favorite PS2 Games Launching on PS4 Tomorrow

Damn, so you wrote an emulator? Any chance you can write a PS3 one? If I could play PS2 and PS3 games on it, I'd probably buy a PS4.

[ElNono]

The emulator was already written when they contacted me, tbh, although I do work closely with the emu team and they did contact me due to my previous emulation work. I don't know that I can say exactly what I do without breaching the NDA, tbh, and the money is too good to screw that up :lol

IMO, PS3 is a different ballgame, tbh... not saying it can't be done, but it would be technically challenging with the PS4 hardware...

Basically, it's a dual-core PowerPC @ 3.2GHz and an additional 8 SPE cores (albeit only 6-7 used). The SPEs are more like DSPs, have their own memory and use an internal DMA-like controller for communication with the system.

The PS4 8 core CPU is clocked at 1.6 GHz... while you could probably optimize the dynarec to match the PowerPC performance in most cases, the SPEs are still difficult to match speed-wise.

Ideally, you would want to dynarec the SPEs to OpenCL and run them on the GPU, but the fact that they can stop and wait for incoming data or messages, makes it technically challenging.

Just my personal thoughts based on my emulation experience, I don't have any clue if they're thinking about it or working on it, and if I did, I probably couldn't say a word about it.
