Sony's invited us to their special event in New York on February 20th, and we have to assume that we're going to meet the new Playstation 4. Learn what Adam thinks, what this means for Microsoft and the industry, and much more in this week's episode.

Adam, I think you're in top form here on Rev3. Internet video seems like a format that has you working the way I've always wanted to see you work, and I really couldn't be happier with the result. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, and I hope one day you guys get to do a Rev3 national tour one day. Rock, rock on!

You collect resources in the game to purchase things at the store. You can also buy these resources with microtransactions. It's not a stretch to think that EA would limit how much of the resource you find in the game, as to encourage you to purchase more with real money.

One of the issues I have with the MTs in DS3 is that the design principles of the game may have been altered in favor of making people purchase resources; that items might require so much grinding that a user would be forced to buy resources to get the full experience the game has to offer. The game might be liberal with its resources, but with games like Battlefield Heroes in EAs history, they obviously don't have the best principles. They might have done it well, but we just don't know yet.

I think the real problem was how a lot of hardcore gamers who got a Wii ended up not playing it as much or not at all after a while, and the WiiU is doing the same things that the Wii did, using the computing power of the previous gen's hi-end consoles and sticking with the motion control stuff which we all tried out and don't give a shit about anymore.

Cont. 1)In terms of raw performance the GPU's apparently got 90% the power of the 7970m, which makes it around 9X the PS3 in raw flops, though there are efficiencies that are also gained with modern tech & a better feature set on effects the GPU can do. The RAM shifts about 8X the data around that PS3's ram did. The specs listed here are a very decent jump above PS3, probably quite reasonable for Sony to produce price wise too, along with Bluray, HDD & the other usual parts.

I don't have any spec inputs, but i think they need to make improvements on the game case. especially the center piece they could make it softer, easier to take out to reduce wear also (just got a pre-owned game and the center had a crack near the small hole) keeping the disc safe and secure. what do you guys think?

@SicBro 11 жыл бұрын

i like the idea of two versions of the ps4 and 720. Only problem I see is in the higher end, as strong as PC, versions' abilities to compete with high end PC's because at that point, it would actually end up costing more for matched performance. Reason why is because putting strong parts in a small form factor cost more than having the same strong parts in a bigger form factor. In that case, logically, it would be better to get a PC.

Agreed about DS3. Each Dead Space game had booster packs. It's only a big deal right now because people payed attention prior to release.

I think what he meant was that EA can (literally) do that. As a company, they can choose whether to have it on the disc or not as long as it is clearly stated to those who are buying it. Its not a defense, its more of a concrete fact.

@DoNotPerceiveMePlz 11 жыл бұрын

Better graphics are one of the first things people think of when comparing the two, of course, mods are as well but there is also digital distribution, mainly Steam but any service is what I mean. It makes it easier for a company to get their game out at a smaller cost, there is still server costs and whatnot but nothing compared to the cost of shipping out all the game units, this also benefits the indie devs who can't afford to print their product, let alone ship it and have stores stock it.

The difference is that Steam are the only people providing the exact version of the digital product they're selling thus they can control the sale (ie they can have awesome sales whenever) most consoles however are primarily reliant on physical games which are sold by retailers, thus they cant control the price as well, as they have to pay for materials, retailers, workers, shippers, and managers.

We kinda do AFAIK - I'm quite sure multiple podcasts from last week mentioned that crafting system do not break pacing and you can get everything you need, at the same time having to choose between stuff from time to time - which IMO is beneficial to experience as seen from core gamer's perspective. More casual players can maybe pay and get both ends of the bargain, but why would you want to remove the important part of choice from your experience is beyond me.

From a business standpoint, microtransactions, as well as DLC are a great way to continue to provide a profit base, and not worry and fret and bemoan the used games market. Let Gamestop continue to sell your game, and continue to expose more consumers to what is probably more pure profit than what new game sales are.

I'm no fan of EA, but being in my mid 20s now having finished school and working full time, I totally agree with Adam. I don't have time to play games like I used to, so if I can spend a few dollars to buy better weapons in a single player to speed it along, I am all for it. Gamers are a changing demographic people, we don't all have time to play like we did when we were younger.

PS3's CPU is essentially a single main core processor with less powerful assisting CPUs. The specs for PS4 in rumors are 8 main cores. What's important for a CPU is the amount of calculations it can do per cycle, usually newer CPUs do more calculations in the same amount of time as an older CPU, so yes the more modern CPU in PS4 would be better, even if it's clocked lower. PS4's CPU will have a modern layout, with more tech packed into the same or less area than PS3's CPU.

That's because we don't need to use them anymore, games are becoming so much better on story but so so much more watered down on gameplay.And I don't want to become that old guy but when I was a kid games remained largely unbeatable ,we were just happy to make it a level further and cheat codes went a long way helping kids towards that goal.

It will be awhile before games are rendered at 1080p since no console has done past 480p (games on current gen are upcoverted to 1080p, so it isn't TRUE 1080p.) The most they will do is 720p since the Wii U renders games at that, but will upconvert to 1080p... Plus you know that it is RUMORED specs, when has a console lived up to rumored specs?Last time was during the golden era of gaming.

Immersion? Are you fucking joking me? Every time you open any kind of store in any "horror survival" is when immersion goes out the window. If that store window happens to mention that you can buy more scrap if you happen to be too low is not going to make a difference at all. And no, there is no possibility of needing money to enjoy the game. We know exactly what they are selling and we know that anything that actually effects gameplay is already in the game and can be earned over time.

I just remember that I switched to PC a few years ago, and I went and played games that I played on 360 for PC. I was blown away by how good the games played and ran compared to their console counterpart. The only games I play on console anymore is MLB The Show (since I am an avid baseball fan) and whatever else I get due to friends buying games on consoles like Call of Duty (though MW3 was the only game I hated completely, all the others from CoD4 and up are good.) I can't wait for next gen :)

Sorry, but no it didn't. The DLC consisted of costumes, a battle arena to fight some new bosses, a side-story with Sahz and Lightnings fight with Caius - I do think this one should definitely have been on the disc, but it didn't take place after the game or anything. It did have ''To Be Continued....'' at the end but they are doing so with XIII-3/Lightning Returns, it wasn't a reference to future DLC.

Even though I'm not getting Dead Space 3, I still think the microtransaction thing is an issue. Not because of them trying to get money, but because of the slippery slope it invites. If players can pay for resources, then it would make business sense for the game to be designed in such a way as to cripple the player's normal play resources or choke how fast a player can get them in order to force them to pay in order to get things at a decent rate.

I think (and have read) that these free to play game will be more prevalent. Dust 514 is what is really convincing me. It's still only in beta and needs a lot of work, but for being a beta it's fun as hell and the concept of being apart of a larger world is pretty cool. Micro transactions are annoying but with the expansion model they use as an alternative is smart and something that fits me as a consumer much better.
