Deadmon Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Much like the 720, release date isnt set in stone, however there are suggestions of a 2013 Holiday release.No used games, motion controls rumored to be similar to kinect. Blue Ray confirmed still, no backwards comparability with PS3.Will feature an AMD CPU and graphics card in one chip, their new fancy chips.PS3 is currently the top-selling console across the globe, so many people believe they dont want to release this too soon and kill its momentum. However many companies have already received dev kits. I wouldnt expect a small game library like PS3s initial release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalemAdams Wobbit Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ah, so it will use their "fusion" core. I actually built a computer using one of those and it plays Blu-Ray decently with low power consumption.Sadface about the backwards compatability. They had that for the PS2 and for the PS3 for a while (until the release of the slim). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadmon Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 really the only difference besides much upgraded specs is that it wont play used games, but it seems almost all consoles are going that direction now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrescentSnow Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Good portion of people buy used games, they are trying to help stop piracy. You are going to need a special code for used a game then you have continue paying or something. I think they are going to be losing a lot money over this.

Deadmon Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Maybe, or itll just force people to buy the games they want to use new / wont let people use gamefly ect.Piracy isnt an issue with PS3, as there isnt really a way to download/burn/play stolen games.

SalemAdams Wobbit Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 It's too bad about the used game department. That really doesn't help other people and that will ultimately kill not only retailers (because some actually do sell used games) but it will also have other people go to other consoles that will allow such a thing, if they don't change their pricing scheme. Not everyone buys a brand new game, and hell, I buy used games sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krow Ames Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yeah, there's a way to download and play games via PS3 and 360. You have to void the warranty of the system, of course, but you can burn games to DVD's. Might have to use a blu-ray for PS3, though, I'm not sure.

SalemAdams Wobbit Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Blu-Ray drives can read DVDs...for now. Blu-Ray uses a blue laser (hence the name) where DVDs and CDs use a red laser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It would be their efforts to thwart the zero profit used games market.If they've already found a processor architecture, it'll be out of date by the time it's released. I have more hope there is a Steam console at that rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmon Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 You say out of date, but most developers and Sony all agree people havent maxed out the PS3s potential still. Most games are the quality they are / amount of content so theres easy conversion for XBOX versions generally speaking.Though technology gets better at an exponentially faster pace as time progresses, so its likely that consoles lifespans are going to be their Achilles heel in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyphre Iredell Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Nobody maxed out the potential because it was never worth it for developers to adapt code to try and run 9 different cores for different processes. This is why games like FEAR were absolutely terrible on the PS3. It hasn't been maxed because nobody cares to if they can get it on Xbox and PC a whole lot easier (god damn I hate GFWL....).

It hasn't been maxed because nobody cares to if they can get it on Xbox and PC a whole lot easier (god damn I hate GFWL....).XBOX is the most difficult to adapt for, because if there is multiple consoles the game runs on (PC + PS3 + XBOX is the norm) then the xbox one is the one that takes the most hits and changes. Recent games like BF3 even make you download the HD texture pack because it wont fit on disc with the rest of the shit they have to include. That and anything thats PC vs Console, usually the PC version is better. Simply because theres a world more flexibility with controls and UI.
