Junxs Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You're probably right Chindie Rev, I don't use steam half as much as I perhaps should, im always worried what I buy wont be smooth on my basic non graphically capable computer, then theres the older games which look interseting, but state theyre for windows xp and i think they wont work with my windows 8 machine. Im sure i saw an article on cnet that Steam was making their console, or supporting a console or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Its a dev kit. It might just be for developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Yup, our Xbox 360 devkits where I used to work had two ethernet ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Here's some more leaked info from VGleaks CPU: Orbis contains 8 Jaguar cores at 1.6 GHz, arranged as two ‘clusters’ Each cluster contains 4 cores and a shared 2MB L2 cache 256-bit SIMD operations, 128-bit SIMD ALU SSE up to SSE4, as well as Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) One hardware thread per core Decodes, executes and retires at up to two instructions/cycle Out of order execution Per-core dedicated L1-I and L1-D cache (32Kb each) Two pipes per core yield 12,8 GFlops performance 102.4 GFlops for system GPU: GPU is based on AMD’s ‘R10XX’ (Southern Islands) architecture DirectX 11.1+ feature set Liverpool is an enhanced version of the architecture 18 Compute Units (CUs) Hardware balanced at 14 CUs Shared 512 KB of read/write L2 cache 800 MHz 1.843 Tflops, 922 GigaOps/s Dual shader engines 18 texture units 8 Render backends Memory: 4 GB unified system memory, 176 GB/s 3.5 available to games (estimate) Storage: High speed Blu-ray drive Single layer (25 GB) or dual layer (50 GB) discs Partial constant angular velocity (PCAV) Outer half of disc 6x (27 MB/s) Inner half varies, 3.3x to 6x Internal mass storage: One SKU at launch: 500 GB HDD There may also be a Flash drive SKU in the future Networking: 1 Gb/s Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WIFI, and Bluetooth Peripherals: Evolved Dualshock controller Dual Camera Move controller Extra: Audio Processor (ACP) Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units Display ScanOut Engine (DCE) Zlib Decompression Hardware It mostly doesn't mean anything to me, at all. But apparently it's at least as good as the leaked 720 specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) It's...kind of underwhelming. They'll obviously get more out of it than the equivalent gaming PC with the same specs, but that's a very low to mid-range build. A major positive for those just looking at the new console gen hoping it will move PC tech forward is we should finally see developers working on getting their games to properly utilise multi-core CPUs. That and the fact it looks like PC gamers won't have to upgrade their machines for another few years. Edited January 29, 2013 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) In one of the vaguest bits of news yet to hit the rumour mill, a Japanese newspaper has stated that the PS4 will retail for more than Y40,000 at launch - that's around £275 to us. PS3 was Y60,000 at launch, as a point of reference. The insinuation being this will launch cheaper than the PS3 did, which I find impossible to believe.

limpid Posted February 8, 2013 Administrator Share Posted February 8, 2013 That wouldn't be a huge surprise. Blu-ray was still really expensive when the PS3 launched. There is no new tech in the rumoured PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The can't launch the PS4 at the price the PS3 launched at. Nobody would buy it again. Depends on the launch date. You have to remember that the current generation has been the longest lasting, so consumers would be likely to pay around the same this time if the promise was the same longevity. When the PS3 and Xbox 360 launched we were used to 3-5 year generations, now we're looking at 7-8 year cycles. At the time of the outcry about PS3 pricing, I don't think anyone would have thought they'd still be playing it in 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 No way. Last time (£425) was too expensive and that was in a world that wasn't in recession, and at a time when people didn't spend their disposable income on smartphones and tablet computers. £350, tops.

The_Rev Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 They will definitely offer multiple versions. Apple have proved that you can find a ton of people who will pay a premium for a nicer model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2013 Obviously just a mock-up but the PS4 controller is reported to have a touch screen in the middle. Not too keen on the idea myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
