SE making a mistake not waiting for ps4?

[Felis]

so, instead of releasing PS3 version this summer they should wait at least 2 years for PS4 (1 year until it come out and another 1 year until enough people bought it) ?

[HiirNoivl]

They can't wait because we'd all turn into maniacs and might turn around and start eating the game we all love once we've run out of nostalgia. They couldn't let the game sit too long.

That said, it'll probably be released for Orbis anyway.

[Zumi]

The leaked PS4 specs say they are going with a lot of off the shelf PC parts for PS4. AMD 8 core cpu and Radeon GPU. Probably be easy to port the PC version to PS4 if they wanted to when PS4 is out.

Ps4 concepts still remain speculations. Even with announcement this year for the ps4, it probably will not launch till 2014, and the earliest the very end of this year. We know MS has it's next console in the woks as well, as indicated by impressive technology they sucked up. Even thou an announcement is on the horizon, don't expect it soon either.

SE promised a ps3 release, even with it's limitations, they scaled the new engine, got around issues, and will follow through with the promises, and the established market. Waiting a year for a console launch, and longer for it to be established, isn't sensible. They can update it later.

Yeah, releasing a game that's already on rocky waters because it's first version on a console which has an unsure future on release sounds quite the smart move for SE to make. I mean that totally doesn't sound like complete nonsense when there's already a very high selling console that they've already put working into playing the game on for years.

I do have to wonder. If this PS4 spec concept is right. IS sony aware of the new tech rights MS has wit hAMD for the SOC2 design? When they chose an older bulldozer 8 core design? SOCX2 and SOC2 are much faster (on paper) with direct memory access with secondary processor controllers. DDR3 on ps4? SOCx2/SOC2 couldn't even utilize memory that slow.

MAy be while AMD is being silent to sony so they make a buck off them as well and offset old parts.

As long as I dont hear "we cant do that because the X system isnt good enough" I dont care if they put it on the snes.

I just hope they let there be differences, like special HD packs for PC. As far as I know the PS3 and PC will have the same files just the PS3 will be doing a lot more LOD.

[kazaran]

The PS3 version won't be running the same Level of detail. Even in early showings, the shadows are an obciosu offset and more static. Getting around the memory restrictions requires graphical tricks, but SE is good at giving the feel with imagery.

I considered using the ps3 in the bed room, but my LAptop is leaps and bounds above the PS3, so I opted to use it in the bedroom on the second HDTV.

Yeah that is what i said >.> lol


Somewhere I read that they said close up items would look just like the PC, and they used clever LOD to hide the shitty graphics...


So I'm just hoping they aren't limiting their main textures to some silly size just because of the ps3. To be honest there were a lot of bad textures in 1.0. Their ground textures in a lot of places is mosaic and not at all like ground turf. Just like their grass they try to give perspective of something but it isn't, get up close to grass and it looks like goobue puke, I think sometimes they'd make a super amazing Monet graphic style.


So enthusiast graphic pack I want lol

THey will have to make shadows more painted to work with PS3, or it will be a shimmering mess.

SE is smart with artwork, so it will be fine. The engine is nice.
