All I saw were pop-in with the petals on the ground and debris popping in, KZ4 has a long way to go to be worth playing

Nor do I think Sony would be that stupid.
That price cost them over half their prior marketshare and leadership of the industry.
PS4 unveiling tonight presented a possible crow extinction event.

You are way off base. As a PC gamer this news makes me very excited. Better consoles = better PC games.

Current gen corridor simulation has evolved into cave simulation. Not as impressive due to the small scope shown in the trailer, but I agree it was one of the best looking for sure.
Also where are people getting this PS4 pricing? Titan is sold for good profit and is more than just a DDR5 chip. I assume Sony will do a deal and manage to get it for cheaper and then also sell PS4 for a loss (why stop now I guess).
It's on expensive video cards. Maybe they have some massive inside deal on buying bulk.

That is really impressive.

Ridiculous. Easily a generational leap right here and it's only going to get better. Guerilla's next game after Shadow Fall will probably blow this away, plus whatever the God of War and Uncharted/Last of Us teams cook up.
So excited for this machine.

Impressive. MS better match or better this, or else their third party games are going to be gimped.

Of course they will be developed with the lowest common denominator in mind. Which is why even fanboys should hope for Microsoft to match Sony in the ram department here so we don't get gimped third party titles. We have seen a bit of that this gen with optical drive storage capacity and the 360 not having blu-ray. How many third party titles actually use close to a 25GB blu-ray disc?

Yeah, I'll admit I fucking spit my water out when I heard Cerny say 8GB of RAM. I then wondered if they were really going to go with DDR3, but then he said GDDR5 and I just sat here stunned.
That was completely out of the blue. I was pretty sure it was going to be 4GB after all the leaks and rumours, but wow. That was shocking.
My biggest concern is the pricing now... I have a feeling Sony will puff out the chest and launch at $499 (especially if the camera does come included with the machine). It has to be $399 or less. I just can't see them being able to go out after the PS3 humiliation and seriously tell everyone that it will be that price.

Games will most likely not be using 8GB of video ram from the start. The amount is amazing because it's there for future proofing. SLI/Crossfire doesn't add up multiple GPU's amount of memory.
If you were just trying to catch people with a troll though, this will probably work on someone, yeah.

personally i rather them go with a (relatively) small hdd, so we can buy our own so we dont have to overpay for it and get bigger sizes at better prices.

I gotta say I'm really really surprised.
I've been back to PC gaming the last couple years due to finding MS's vision for xbox just not palatable.
I've never owned a Sony System..I just might get a PS4

dude this is just sad.
i was buffed by almost everyone . almost all companies release info to their big investors prior to any reveal or any announcement
now what if i tell everyone that MS showed next box and almost every investor was unimpressed. Now they are planning to change specs even with a 6 months delay???
you all saw KZ PS4...now show me something that impressive on PC
Hell yeah, DD was the most impressive by far.
DDR5 ram only exists at some point in the future.
And the only PCs with 8GB of GDDR5 in will have 2 graphics cards with 4GB+ each. No cheap gaming machines.
I did not PM you, but I did question your record as to the information in the thread.
You were correct.

That's... insane. I don't see this paying off in the long run.

So how does the ps4 from what we know, compare to current PCs. For example how soon will someone with a gtx 670 or 680 and 16gb ram will have to upgrade.

You got 8 core CPU on your PC?
Dammit thuway. lmao
LOL, gamers these days don't buy consoles for their games, but for the amount of ram.
8 gigs is a lot, I have to say, but will it be cheap? Is it even possible that the console launches under 500?
Do MOST developers (all of Japan included) really need that much ram? Japanese devs even had problems to utilize the PS3's hardware, so you really think they will spend 100 Million for photorealistic games?

In that scenario you are probably looking at the PS4 (oh, I get giddy just typing that) version of games having higher resolution textures, potentially a higher framerate, than the 720 counterparts.
Meh very underpowered 8 cores
100%.
That much fast RAM is a godsend for pushing PCs and vice versa. Very impressed that Sony is managing to get that much in the box. Can't wait to see how they did it.

Pretty much. Honestly never expected a launch title to look CLOSE to this good.

Hopefully they won't have pop-in like that horrible KZ4 gameplay section did
Did you see Square Enix and Capcom's presentations, focused primarily on graphical fidelity?

E3 will be amazing. The new games. The console showdowns. The tears, the salt, the joy, the popcorn.
This fucking year. I love it.

Is the same gonna be true for PS4 though?
I mean past PlayStation systems have used custom hardware. Are we going to really see that generational jump throughout the life cycle continue like you displayed above for the PS3 or will the "power be unlocked" much quicker for the PS4 than previous Sony systems?

I am more excited than anyone about 8 GB GDDR 5 (8 GB GDDR5! Hear that StevieP?) than anyone, but you really don't want to start comparing Jaguar to a modern Intel PC CPU. It wouldn't be pretty.
