Thelogan Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's a dedicated ass hoax. 56 pages with a power point presentation? Not saying it isn't, just saying "damn". People make crazy shit all the time But usually lawyers aren't scrambled to have it removed from the internet within a few hours. Usually.

The NZA Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 its looking like i was wrong - a game journalist actually did his job, and swears the letterhead, format etc are proper so it might very well be legit, time to read the rest of that thing i guess. damn, if its true, someone's losing their job.

Thelogan Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm always a little amazed (but logically shouldn't be) at the details these guys know about the secret moving and shaking going on in other game companies. The document is from 2010. They nailed the WiiU's launch date and speculated that it would use an ipad like interface, and they had their own ipad/smart phone connectivity rollout planned for 6 months prior to it over 2 years ago. Fucking business analysts...how do they work? rhetorical question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceManML Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Rumor: ps4 will be 4000p compatible... Hence Sony manufacturing 80inchers. Read an article on it but didn't save it.. Ah well... That high a res device doesn't cost much but an 80in tv cost about $30k... Yea.. Lexus or tv... Hmmmm... But I'm sure they'll condense the same amount o ppi in a manageable size of course. (a la retina display..) But eventually my eyes will be permanently dilated and I will cry tears of joy from simply watching Tom n Jerry in 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 New Xbox will just be called "Xbox". Good idea. If you aren't going to use a logical numbering system like Sony, and you're dealing with a 10 year console cycle...yeah, just call it an Xbox. We can put a year in front of it if we need to be specific. There's some other stuff in that link about a gaming tablet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) PS4 stuff According to 90 PDF documents reportedly secured by the site, the latest PlayStation 4 development kits issued for January 2013 include four dual-core AMD64 "Bulldozer" processors amounting to a total of eight CPU cores, an AMD R10xx GPU, four USB 3.0 ports, two Ethernet connections, a Blu-ray drive, a 160GB HDD, as well as HDMI and optical audio outputs. The information falls in line with recent rumors and prior development kit leaks. The site cautions that due to the fact that the specs are based on development hardware, the consumer-grade version of the system could differ. Finally, Sony could allow multiple users to be logged into the system at any given time. According to a diagram used in the documents, each user will have localized saves and be able to log-in and associate their Sony Entertainment Network account to each additional controller. The benefit, Kotaku says, is if four people are playing local co-op, each can earn trophies as they progress. The Xbox stuff up there is a hoax, so I'm not exactly holding my breath for solid confirmation on this Sony info either.

Thrizzle Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Why is the second chunk of quote a big deal? A lot of local multiplayer 360 games force each controller to sign in. Can PS3 seriously not have more than one profile signed in, or am I reading that wrong? I only have one PS3 controller, so I never tried. Why has no one ever mentioned this before?

Keth Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Different users can be logged in depending on what games you play, but only one PSN account can be logged in at any given time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 And you can't earn trophies without being signed in to PSN, I guess? Still dumb. Glad they're fixing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well trophies are linked to the games, and still can be earned without being logged on. So I guess each user would be linked to their PSN account for it to be synced up later? 360 already allows this though right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You don't "sync" your achievements on the 360. PLOINK, you get the achievement. 2 player game, there's an achievement for beating the first level, you both beat it together PLOINK PLOINK. During our Rock Band sessions, there were often times a lot of ploinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 yeah, the sign-in thing/syncing etc were obviously tacked on later, vita at least showed me they very much know how to do an OS right. also again don't always take dev kit specs to be what the system will have, they're typically higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrizzle Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah, there's that...thing. I was specifically talking about whatever the PS4 might offer that they aren't, if anything significant. They'll probably cram a half assed version of it in before their announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
