It needs Halo, Crackdown, Fable and Forza / PGR.

That locks the console down as the best for FPS, Sandbox, RPG and Racing games :cool:

Incredibly creepy, do you fap to anime too?

[QUOTE="legalize82"] u still got debunked.. get over it cell was fine for gaming..simplelegalize82

You might want to look up non-sequitur, since you're obviously still cluless. What the heck does your list of (mostly fine) Ps3 games have to do with anythign I said?

It's no secret that just about every developer who has put out a PS3 game (and isn't being payed by Sony) HATED the damn cell and found creating engines for it extremely problematic, precisely BECAUSE it wasn't suited to the two main types fo workloads involved in modern game engines. Even after wrestlign with the stupid thing, games usually still perform better ont he Xbox, even though, on paper, the cell should eb pwning the xbox's CPU.

This has nothign to do wiht the quality fo game son the PS3. I'm discussing somehting else with Tormentos, somehting you clearly don't understand, so kindly bow out, unless you have soemthign intelligent to contribute.

It wasn't overpowered so much as very specialized. It was almost like a GPU in terms of it's design. Which answer's tormento's nonsense about handlign CPU tasks via direct compute on the GPU:

 

Some tasks are nto ammenable to being processed by the GPU, and others won't benefit from that sort of paralellism.

Yeah is my non sence i guess AMD HSA is non sense..:lol: Don't buy any volcanic island GPU..:lol:

Cell was so far ahead of CPU back on 2006 it wasn't even funny,a CPU running GPU taks..:lol:

Actually the most common way to look at a cell is a CPU too convuluted to run simple tasks or an extremely gimped GPU

They assume the systems will have access to only 4 cores for gaming, but it's already been said that X1 game mode will allow 6 cores, 5GB RAM, and 90% GPU.

Also, PS4 at least, has been confirmed for HSA support and has massive memory bandwidth. 4 cores is enough to run the general code and feed the GPU, leaving 2-3 cores for physics. Then we'll see lots of physics done on the GPU. 

I don't see how it's an issue.

Like the way console setbacks wasn't an issue, right? Right?!

>You suck at greentexting

>Comic sans and strawman argument

I will lol at anyone who tries to claim ownage over that poor article.

Same way I lol at anyone that still thinks consoles are actually "next gen"

Terrible article and thread. You should feel bad.

For what? For the "next gen" consoles?

Nahh brah im just pointing out that next gen consoles are nothing more than cheap PCs, das all brah

Yeah, consoles are optimized to do one thing: play games. But where is all this jargon about the next consoles being worlds more powerful than PCs today coming from? Are they just blowing smoke out , or what?

My 70 euro processor from 2005 is more powerful than "next gen" CPUs, go figure.

it was scary and had a lot of survival horror elements (the inventory, lack of ammo) but ultimately it was a shoot shoot bang type of game

Depends, ammo was plentiful but can only carry a limited amount, and a good chunk of the enemies were bullet sponges too
