32-Bit OS: The New PS3 Limitations?

[ZhaneX]

No enhancements. PS3 was always just an excuse, and they'll just throw out a new excuse whenever people want nice things.

Well, that seems just a tad pessimistic. Though I can't say I disagree given Yoshida did, upon the reveal of PS3 being dropped, once respond with "We'd need a PS5 for that!" when being asked about more flowing hairstyles. But now it seems "32-bit OS" is to be the new scapegoat, rather than keep the buck on Playstation.

Still, we are getting better load-in times and increased mount speed to go with it with the PS3's removal. It's nice, but does seem rather lackluster compared to how often the PS3 seemed to be used as a cause of restrictions. So now the question becomes, how often will 32-bit OS' be used as an excuse, and should the day come that support for those systems is dropped too, how many of the things it was used to excuse will actually be improved on?

I admit it's more pessimistic of a response than I truly believe. I'm actually playing on PS3 at the moment, and I can tell you it's a terrible experience. I'm also pretty sure it's just going to get worse. I think dropping PS3 is mostly a QA decision than anything else.

But we are getting nice new UI elements that I don't think we would have gotten with PS3 because they didn't want to give a different experience to different platforms, and I'm sure there are other things.
