I’ve heard this from some industry analysts. I’ve heard it from friends. I’ve even heard it from some pretty dedicated gamers.<br /> <br /> When I press them, most everyone says they see games on smart phones and tablets taking over the game biz. They see the massive numbers of apps—mostly game apps—being downloaded onto iOS and Android devices and see the demise of console gaming as inevitable. They see the multi-year decline of console software at retail, as reported by NPD, and they think the console gaming is done. I believe that console gaming is going to explode on the scene of consumer electronics with this next generation of consoles. Sony and Microsoft absolutely need to deliver new boxes that really impress us. They need to deliver platforms that enable game experiences that are not possible on current consoles. It is not just about graphics, although it is partly about graphics. It is also about recognizing that a lot has changed with online devices and the cloud since the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were originally introduced.<br /> <br /> Our expectations are much, much higher. The next generation of consoles needs to deliver.</p></div></blockquote> Comment #165472 http://thevgpress.com//reviews/bugsonglass_407.html#comment165471 Mon, 20 May 2013 17:40:55 GMT It's about £15 online now Comment #165471 http://thevgpress.com//reviews/gamingeek_407.html#comment165470 Mon, 20 May 2013 17:32:51 GMT If you can get it cheap it's worth it, the story right at the end makes me want to play 4.

So you get spotted and have to randomly run miles away to get away from them and the haystacks and safe zones are not marked on the map. Then you cool off and go in for another try and rinse and repeat 4 times. It can be insanely annoying.

It could be that Sony's RAM boost has forced MS to try and one up them but I'm not counting on it. It appears to use DDR and then 32mb of ESRAM like Wii U uses 32mb eDRAM + 3mb eSRAM to juggle memory through to the frame buffer. Both PS4 and Nextbox appear to use low power 8 core Jaguars, I'm not sure people here understand that while 8 cores at 1.6gz sounds good these Jaguars were AMDs rival to Intels Atom chips; and if you know about Atoms you know that they are made for long battery life and not performance. Atoms are quite shitty compared to the performance on laptops with proper processors. This is probably why there are 8 of them in the new consoles, cause they are cheap. You could get more performance out of higher powered tri or quad core setups I read. </p><p>They also have 17 stage pipelines, for instance U's CPU has a 4 stage pipeline and can perform 4X as many instructions in the same time period - it wins on IPC but is weak on SIMD, where I believe Jaguars have SIMD units - but SIMD is pushed to the GPU in modern times. But obviously having 8 cores means parellel processing will help overall performance. The impression I'm getting off of the tech know-it-alls on  GAF who frequently disagree on everything is that the CPU is the weakest aspect of the new machines and that CPU power in general hasn't made the same performance improvements as Graphics pipelines. But higher floating point peformance should mean better framerates. </p> Comment #165427 http://thevgpress.com//forumtopics/gamingeek_446_79.html#comment165426 Mon, 20 May 2013 11:15:19 GMT <p>I saw From Up on Poppy Hill from Studio Ghibli</p><p><img alt="" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/34rg8bt.jpg" /></p><p><a href="http://thevgpress.com/forumtopics/studio-ghiblis-latest-film-from-up-on-poppy-hill-review-and-trailer_1922.html&perPage=20#comment165425">Details here</a></p> Comment #165426 http://thevgpress.com//forumtopics/gamingeek_1922_1.html#comment165425 Mon, 20 May 2013 11:14:48 GMT <p><img alt="" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/34rg8bt.jpg" /></p><p>Saw this movie, surprisingly good. </p><p>This is a Goro Miyazaki movie, Hayao's son who directed Tales from Earthsea. This movie is heartening and gives me a great feeling that Studio Ghibli's style can be continued and preserved once Miyazaki and Takahata retire. The movie has the humour and charm one might expect from a Ghibli movie. On the face of it this is one of those straight movies, with zero fantasy elements. It's more like Whisper of the Heart or more like the non-fantasy bits of Totoro. </p><p>The plot sounds dreadfully dull - the Olympics is coming to town and they are going to demolish the school club house which is an old French style building and the kids try to save it. In an american movie you would expect hijinks with the kids defending the place against diggers and whatnot - not here in a Japanese movie. Instead simple things like cleaning the place up and visiting the superindendant become highlights. </p><p>The inside of the clubhouse is like the intro sequence to the bathouse in Spirited Away, the place is a clustered, eclectic place filled with whimsy that brings a huge smile to your face. </p><p>I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, the one bad point is the melecholy at the end and sad song that overlays the last five minutes of the film which seems to ride rough shout against the films gentle humour. Still, good stuff and better than I thought based on Tales of Earthsea. </p> Comment #165425 http://thevgpress.com//reviews/gamingeek_405.html#comment165424 Mon, 20 May 2013 11:03:27 GMT I want a Commando game.

The Robio guest was one of those; we did a podcast focusing on horror, so one feature was an hour presentation by him which detailed the history of horror games. In the other 3 hour show we did, we talked about Spec Ops: The Line for over an hour. Aspro probably puts it better. He's our PR man after all. Oh, and we're pretending to be a "proper" podcast. We have successfuly swindled a few people so far, but not the Chinese. <img alt="Sad" class="smiley" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-frown.gif" /></p></div></blockquote><p>That's pretty much it.  With us both in Australia it makes scheduling and recording a lot easier.  By hosting it under a seperate banner we are able to hone the marketing of it to Australian PR people (and audince) more directly.</p><p>The Press Room, in and by design, is meant to follow the format of this very forum, whereas Game Under Podcast is a much more directed affair.</p> Comment #165381 http://thevgpress.com//forumtopics/aspro_2485_2.html#comment165380 Sun, 19 May 2013 23:32:08 GMT <p>Okay, here is a 5.

"Many digital displays - PC monitors in particular - don't operate correctly with limited-range RGB, giving washed out colours principally defined by blacks being more grey-like in nature" PS3 also has a limited/full range HDMI option that was patched at some point, it's up to your tv how it handles it. It's even mentioned in the updated PS3 manual.<p>http://technocrate.net/2009/06/26/playstation-3-full-range-rgb-over-hdmi-explanation-test/ and this - http://www.gadgetoid.com/2008/01/20/the-ps3-rgb-full-range-hdmi-fiasco/</p><p>On (some) monitors limited range HDMI is not displayed correctly giving washed out colours and a brighter gamma. It doesn't affect everyone, it depends on how your tv handles it. Note - I'm not blaming you tv, I'm not blaming Capcom - Wii U outputs at limited range and for some tv's it means less vibrant colours. There's also the gamma pass, Trine 2 was identified by Digital Foundry as having a slightly washed out look which they only noticed looking at video output. The developer investigated and found there was an unnecessary extra gamma pass. Once they removed and patched it, the blacks, contrast and colours all became richer and more vibrant on my tv. It also drastically improved the wii u pad colours too. Two weird things about some wii u software so far - an extra gamma - and forced v sync with UE3 which can reduce framerates but eliminates tearing. PS3 and 360 drops vsync to maintain a solid framerate and allows some tearing usually at the top or bottom of the screen where it goes mostly unnoticed, whereas most U games forcibly lock it - something to do with development tools or perhaps dual video output.</p></div></blockquote><p>So you are saying it is the Wii Us problem for not having that color thing.</p><p>BTW I didnt notice the colors, what I noticed was the difference in frame rate. </p> Comment #165351
