vg247-PS4: new kits shipping now, AMD A10 used as base, final version next summer

Also, here's a fun fact: people are currently playing a game that was originally contracted as a next-gen exclusive, and have been for a while. That's all you get out of me.

Was wondering about it, currently playing , contracted as a next gen exclusive O_o

Any more tiny hint ? <.<
 
I don't see why anybody in this thread would be angry at aegies if he game us some info .
I more concern about the APU and if PS4 got a GPU it much easier to up the ram count than it is to change those parts .
If PS4 weaker or got less ram well that is how it goes .
Truth is i think MS going to have the edge over Sony but the question is how much .

I think you'll see info before E3 for everybody. But one quite a bit sooner than the other.

MS seem like they could announce any time they wanted from what I gather.

It was originally targeting 2012 and Kinect gave them some extra time so they took it.

It has been in the hands of 3rd parties for a long time. Since at least 2010, maybe even earlier for the big guys with is kind of crazy compaired to previous gens when developers didnt get anything until 6 - 8 months before release and would work off guess work and vague target specs until then.

The ps4 on the other hand has been a mystery up until the last year and it has slowly been made available through out this year.


With all that MS seem like a lock for 2013 but I still would not bet my house on Sony have the PS4 out in time.

What about you. Would you say its a safe bet that both system launch before the end of 2013?

My guess is Halo 4.

The amount of time and money spent on the production values I bet it was at some point. At least it was used as a test bed to get there tool chain next gen ready.

Also AC3 and Far Cry 3 seem like games barely able to run on current systems so I bet they probably had next gen in mind at some point.

AC3 at least. That game looks crazy at times. No way someone thought current systems could do all that without thinking a head.
 
Ill say assassin's creed 3 was definitely meant for next gen. It makes the most sense to have the new era being set on a new platform. Exclusive wise wondering if Sony was trying to get it themselves due to how alot of the marketing for the game seemed to be for PS3 gameplay.
 
My guess would actually be Xcom, since it's PS3 version was announced pretty late in it's developement and it was buggy as hell when it came out.

This is where I don't say what I've heard because people would be mad at the messenger. But I will say that it's been indicated to me that the complaints at GDC about system memory amounts was being directed at a specific platform holder. And you'll probably find out about things much sooner than you think.



It wasn't created by the people making those roadmaps. It was a marketing thing, If I remember correctly. Also, it was before the system was delayed, which happened some time in 2011, I think after Kinect goosed 360 sales back up.

Do you think there`s a chance for next gen ports of Bioshock Infinite and GTA 5?

Obviously, Just Dance 4.

But if I had to guess, I'd say it's one of Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3, or Hit Man. All seem to scale up, well to PC DX11.
 
There is almost no chance it's AC3. Ubisoft has been building towards that game for pretty much the entire gen and it's supposed to bring in massive amounts of money.
 
If true then Sony needs to step their shit up. Releasing later than MS and being noticeably weaker in an important area would be very bad for them.
 
Assuming that tweet/rumor/heresay is true, I doubt it's AssCreed3 because the multi-core usage is bad on PC. It chokes i7 Ivy (in a single core, others lightly used), which is faster per core than anything next gen consoles could hope to have.

Don't invest too much into these rumors. Every other week something pops up. We've heard it all from Sony being more powerful, to Microsoft being more powerful, to both consoles being only 2-3X Wii U.
 
I'd put Arthur's rumors a step above everyone else since he's actually putting his name behind them and will look pretty foolish if he turns out to be completely wrong. He's shown a lot of confidence about this stuff.

Still take them with a grain of salt, just a smaller grain than most of the usual stuff we get from random places.

My rumors are only as good as my sources, which I'm reasonably confident in. But they could be wrong! By extension, I could be wrong. I'd heard that there were probably going to be several next-gen trailers at the VGAs, for example. That turned out to be hilariously wrong.

Except for the stuff about the Microsoft strategy doc.

Some of those VGA games might come to the WiiU! hehe

I think the general feeling is that Sony will be last out the gate. Sony has several major releases next year while MS only has Gears.

Sony only has one major release that doesn't have a release date. And it's more a niche title than anything.
With The Last of Us releasing in May, it pretty much confirms a Fall release for the PS4. Now the region it's releasing can be questioned but I'm guessing they will do what Nintendo did. Release in the NA before Black Friday and stagger the release in other regions after that. Japan being the last region due to them not being a console territory anymore.

you think so? i guess it could happen, but i get the feeling they understand their situation quite well.
i've already posted this in another thread, but sly4, gow4 and last of us come out before e3. i believe we got some rumors on beyond being a june release.
that leaves you with rain, puppeteer, until dawn and wonderbook 2. i'm not saying these games are bad (i'm actually very interested in all of them except wonderbook) but i can see them as the sort of final big ps3 games from their internal studios in the fall of 2013.
to me that seems to imply a ps4 launch in fall 2013.
 
SniperHunter said:
so whats the latest rumor? Ps4 doesn't have enough ram?
Click to expand...

That old ram thing is based on the old rumour which also i feel is aegies source, i still think it will be 4/8 gb ram

and i also feel that next gen premeries in VGA got delayed.

I think nothing was decided what they will premiere on VGA one month back, looking at how VGA was marketed this year

It was marketed a month ago last year , this yea we got 3 dlc ? Fuck yeah :\
