VGleaks: Orbis Unveiled! [Updated]

From the other thread, this was posted on Beyond3D, it's a good summation of what has transpired so far;

Damn.gif

I get the complaints because why mention anything if you can't be at all specific but if the leaks of "special sauce" are bullshit, we'll know soon enough. If it's all just made up, what ultimately does it accomplish, other than to humiliate the "insiders" especially when it's someone like aegies, who can't just slink away with his anonymity?

I'm willing to consider the possibility that there is significantly more to learn for now, while people are willing to put their reputation on the line.

It can easily be shrugged off with the "I interpreted or my source interpreted the information/architecture/hot sauce" incorrectly.

People will crap on him regardless. It's true, soon enough we will know, those eager for all the answers now are just looking at things in a wrong perspective.
 
Care to tell me how the hell that sounds like backwards compatibility?

It can be interpreted either way really. When someone asks a question because they are not sure about investing in money in PS+ now with next generation is around the corner, they are most probably asking this because they are concerned if the stuff they purchase/get via PS_+ will carry over.

The reps answer is a bit vague really. It could mean everything will carry over or that the ps+ service will be there for next gen as well

I wonder if you will have to pay for the compatibility like you did with the Vita and PSP. I'm sure most people on here wouldn't mind doing that at all.

The clear interpretation of "PS+ is here to stay" is that PS+, which refers to the service, isn't going anywhere. Suggesting that there will be reasons PS4 owners will want to subscribe, without saying what those reasons might be.

Look at the question he's responding to:
Thanks, great update !
Any word on whether we should have any concern about PS+ carrying over to the next gen ? If I renew now and get the 3 extra months, thats 15 months of Plus goodness … but will it be used next get ? (I know I know, you guys cant comment but still …)
The question is about the service, not the games given away.

I know I would. At least digital BC would be amazing.

I think it's a bit vague but yes that could be true as well. For our sake I hope it's about BC tho :P
 
If 4 was so bad wouldn't Persona 4, Biohazard 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 4, Dragon Quest 4, Etc etc have all failed?

also, FF4 is one of the most remade/re-released FF in the entire series. :p

BioHazard/Resident Evil 4 has been released on basically every platform in existence.

The silliness goes both ways. While I share the opinion that the PS4 looks more capable so far, I'm also keeping an open mind that they could still end up as wash in performance. Some people here are already convinced one will be more powerful than the other and even seem bothered by the thought that both would be comparable.

It's foolish to have a mind made up already over how much we don't know but it looks like some here are willing to do just that.
 
Here ya go

http://gamingbolt.com/ps-plus-will-carry-over-to-the-next-gen-here-to-stay

It REALLY sounds like BC to me...or very poorly worded


It is obvious that PS+ will be on PS4 and he just confirmed that. There is nothing about any BC here.

They will have just program for PS4 probably from start.

600Gflop difference. half bandwidth. all from AMD even with the same CPU.
If they will end up like this. Orbis will be just more powerful like PS2 to GC.

I doubt there is any souse that can fill hole like this in performance but maybe they will leak redesign with stronger GPU... ?

IMO i think they use worse hardware to keep cost low. Durango will have Kinect integrated so they need to keep cost low to stay competitive (thanks to that lower spec)

If Durango would use same hardware as PS4, with Kinect price of system would be above PS4. (maybe even a lot)
 
You mean every ps3/ps2 titles in the psplus are programmed to be on ps4? wat :\

No PS4 games and PS4 PSN games same like Vita (just without any PS1/2/3/PSP games)


I wonder if they will include in PS4 box voucher for 1 year of PS+.

This would really be a hit.


PS4 + 12 PS4 games* 399$
* 1 year voucher of PS+ ( each month full ps4 game to download, this month Uncharted 4)

I think alot of people are getting tired of all of this. Special sauce this, Wizards jizz that... Personally, I think some people are so blinded by manufacture loyalty, that they believe in some kiddy name regarding the male reproductive cells, that they cant see whats swinging underneath...

A load of old bollocks.

I have a bad feeling some on both sides are going to be disappointed, and some will have a meltdown. E3 should be amazing.

That's cool that you're willing to be one of those people I was referring to, but I just can't settle for any assumptions without knowing the whole story. I don't believe in any special sauce and I couldn't care less which of the two did turn out more powerful, but IMO some people are just easily convinced because it's what they want to happen.

I much rather wait and see how it turns out and go from there.

Going to be the Best E3 in years! I think we will see a literal implosion from all 3 fanboy camps with what is expected to be there. I may have to take a few days off so i can spend more than a few hours there this time.
 
Special sauce could turn out to be. "Well we got the specs wrong".

And it seems even if the consoles are close in power... You will still have both sides feeding into PR hype.

And when one multiplat under-performs it will be the result of "lazy devs".

Last Gen on repeat.

I agree I'm really tired of all the special sauce shit too. If you've got something concrete then spill it otherwise shut up and deal with the Orbis leaks. It comes off as being really bitter and defensive.

I am not one of those people. I frankly don't care since i will probably buy both.

And all the while, juicy Durango info is getting scarce while Orbis leaks are pouring. It really sucks.

The Durango thread seems like a wasteland. Maybe MS really has their shit locked down.

I think Perkel has always stated that his opinions are based on what we know regarding the leaks. That is what is going on in these threads. Assumptions based on the limited info we have. Nobody (i hope) is making absolute statements.

With the information we have its sketchy specs vs fairy dust. Sadly you can quantify sketchy specs, you cant quantify fairy dust and that is where we are at.

I would rather take a wait and see approach but that isn't as fun. This thread would only be the OP is that was the case.
 
And with this gen, if one system clearly has the best looking games, similar to the PS3 versus the 360 and Wii. You'll still have people state, "nah, all look the same, PS4, Durango and Wii U equal visually".

I think it would take a Xbox jump over PS2, and GC for that to be possible.

I mean like SC: Chaos Theory, Riddick, and Doom 3 on Xbox compared to anything on PS2 and Gamecube.

yea it sounds like damage control...I thought Durango was ahead of PS Orbis and launching this year....

On the other hand you will also have the fanboy claiming "console superiority" because their preferred version has one blade of grass extra

Absolutely, and based off some mid tier game comparison as we've seen in this thread, used as evidence that consoles are about equal.
 
I'll be really disappointed if there's no BC. But yeah, the fact that PS+ will carry over to PS4 seems to point at its inclusion. What will they have available if not older games?
 
I would not get high off the BC talk. Keep your expectations tempered.


There will be no BC at launch. No actual data but creation of PS3 emulator when they have full hands with API creation and tweaking system is just not going to happen. Maybe in future like a year or two.

I want to see graphics that are just not possible on the other without one version choking.

Look at Crysis 3 on Xbox 360/PS3 vs. PC. It's ridiculous how much stuff was cut back and it's still not performing completely optimal.

And still PC Crysis 3 is constrained by multiplatform development.

This gen should die already. It is stopping evolution.
