It'll be (or eventually end up being) more than 1GB, the Wii U OS uses 1GB itself.

Why would you base your decision on an arbitrary tech spec anyway? Wait for the bloody games!

If 1GB is what they set aside at the beginning there is no way that will increase. They will set the maximum needed at the beginning and then cut down if possible. They won't just increase the OS RAM and potentially eat into RAM that games are already using, it just wouldnt work.

Thanks for the replies, I didnt realise they hardly had any 1st party devs left! Thats a shame

As someone who has never owned a PS3, do they support mkv files?

No but you can use mkv2vob to make them playable on PS3, doesn't change the video or audio encoding and it takes about 30 seconds to convert.

Based on everything I've seen from the X1, I'm definitely going the PS4 route.

I'm a gamer, not a socialite.

XBLA/XBLIG wont exist anymore on the XO

Source?


I'm not sure why MS don't buy devs any more, they can clearly afford it :/ It's a very odd decision to make.

I want Shadow Complex 2, sort it out Epic.

Lionhead Studios got disbanded, they are done now. Way to go Microsoft

Sorry but I can't find any info on this? What? As far as I'm aware they're still going...

Shadow Complex 2 has been pretty much done and sat on a HDD waiting for finishing touches for ages. They just haven't bothered with it as they discovered they could make much more money making iOS games (Infinity Blade). Sucks, because SC was AMAZING.

That was back in 2011

They are still going just Peter Molyneux stepped down in 2012 and handed over to John Needham who took over in 2103.

sony will have the same pre owned restrictions like microsoft on their console

Have you got a source for this statement? At the moment Sony haven't said anything of the sort.

Sorry meant to say they are still going.

 

[Snot man]

Is there a official source for this? Been a while since I looked at the PS4 and I thought this was just a rumour...

Sorry, my bad, I've read this everywhere that the PS4 ram has been questioned, but just double checking now and it's not official. Just heavily rumoured.

I thought Sony confirmed they won't be blocking second hand sales?

Ah well that's just a branding change. It even says in the article they'll still exist. XBLA has been ridiculously successful, I'd be amazed if MS doesn't continue to push that kind of thing.

I sat down with Yoshida a few hours after the PS4 reveal tonight and one of the first things I asked was whether used games would be blocked.

"Do you want us to do that?" he asked.

No, I said. I think, if you buy something on a disc, that you have a kind of moral contract with the person you've bought it from that you retain some of that value and you can pass it on.

Do you agree, I asked?

"Yes. That's the general expectation by consumers," said Yoshida. "They purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that's my expectation."

Fair enough , you had me going there for a minute D:

That's not exactly answering the question

 

[Snot man]

That's not exactly answering the question

It was an extention to Biron's comment about used game sales, not about XBLA

 

[ps3ud0]

Sorry, my bad, I've read this everywhere that the PS4 ram has been questioned, but just double checking now and it's not official. Just heavily rumoured.

No probs, Ill assume the worst (same as XO) and be happier if it isnt that - I knew a lot of the early rumours had this and yes a lot of the info that was leaked was correct (like XO using 3GB RAM for OS) but Ill wait for an official line, I doubt Sony are in a hurry to comment before E3...
