@SurfaceNerd Yeah. the cost of 2 titan pc == cost of 5* PS4. but the powervise PS4*5 > 2 titan pc. If only Sony or MS came up with this incredible idea of SLI like connecting 2 or more consoles into one SuperCharged console. That would be awsome. way better than stupid cloud.
@FrankZoex2 the way they brand it is bullshit. Unless they find a way to miracously stream some elements as with onlive (given player has optical cable connection to ISP) and putting them in 3d environments rendered by your console, cloud is mostly for massive multiplayers or the idea they branded with simcity -- to simulate live environments (where you receive small portions of data only related to area you are in -- like in multiplayer).
other than that - how can it be used to improve graphics is beyond me. Maybe you and Carmack can enlighten us?
For me the cycle goes like this -- I'll play next-gen for next 3-4 years, then I'll give my PC an upgrade, in 6-7 years they will release another gen -- the circle of life
@LordCrash88 You can't get back in your moms vagina either. But birth isn't a product and neither is cinema. You can sell DVD after you've seen the movie. What is the point of hoarding DVD's if you are to rewatch only about 10% of them?
What is the point of keeping games you are not going to play anymore? In EU if you buy something, say an Oracle DB licence, you own it and you can do what ever you like with it, even if Oracle doesn't like it.
So if MS reverses it's policies once again it will be in a lot of trouble in EU (MS already burnt in EU court).
@marlobc and because a lot of gamers are not going upgrade their PC's for next 2-3 years. Shield will fail (I bet it even won't make it to the market) so nVidia is in very little but still trouble.
Here's a moronic statement "Tamasi said Nvidia spends about $1.5 billion per year on research and development into graphics, totaling around $10 billion over the course of a console's lifecycle. Platform holders like Microsoft and Sony simply cannot afford to spend that kind of money, Tamasi said."
Really? And the only way to get the results of that study is to invest $10. Here's an idea -- why not buy a video card from someone already made research? Oh, wait! Thats what MS and Sony did -- buy chips from AMD.
When someone is makes incosistent arguments like this he either is just plain dumb or has something to hide. In any case his opinion is disregardable
@everyday182 really, I always thought Bobba was his son. Actually we discussed this few days ago with my friend (DISCLAIMER: i am not a geek. I just got a Bobba Fett helmet for Halloween)
