    Epic VP: PS4 is Like a Perfect Gaming PC

    roadrunner343Like I said, current high end systems, with faster processors and immensely better video cards, showed very little benefit in video game benchmarks from high bandwidth memory. So it would be safe to assume that this would be true with the swap to GDDR5. There's a reason GDDR5 is...

    Epic VP: PS4 is Like a Perfect Gaming PC

    roadrunner343How would I know what? That GDDR5 is based on DDR3? . Don't dodge the question. How would you know that engine programmers won't benefit immensely from high bandwidth UMA and the heterogeneous architecture?

    Epic VP: PS4 is Like a Perfect Gaming PC

    roadrunner343You know GDDR5 is based on DDR3, right? 16GB DDR3 + much better GPU (With your beloved GDDR5) + much better process > PS4. Not that hard to figure out. Are you a game engine programmer? How would you know?

    NuclearShadowGlad to see my tax dollars will go to protecting Wall Street. I sure wouldn't want that bailout money I and every other American gave them go to waste. Thanks DoD and Wall Street, if it wasn't for you taking our money we would have wasted it on things like improving our...

    PlayStation 4 to Focus on New Gameplay, Not Hardware

    TomfreakI was able to use my weaker PC 3.2GHz Pentium Dual-core + 9800GT to run bf3 @ low quality setting @ 720p @ 30fps @ 32vs32 players server easily. I'm calling this claim into question. I had an old 2007 rig with 8800GTX and OCed core2, BF3 struggles at 720p and low detail, where the...

    Rumor: Next Xbox's Blu-ray for Games, Not Movies

    JOSHSKORNIs Microsoft trying to lose? I'm starting to wonder. People still bought Xbox360 in droves despite all the random junk Microsoft did, so it's safe to say they can get away with it again.

    Android Dev Claims Piracy Pushed It To Offer App Free

    CaedenVlast I checked people tend to pirate things that they are curious about, not things that they genuinely want, and want to see more titles of in the future. If my game couldn't sell for $1, then I would be much more concerned about my game being unwanted than I would be about pirates...

    wildkittenConsidering Morkaime actually came out and apologized for the mess that was D3's launch, perhaps there is reason to be critical. And the fact that once again, WoW has a year with no new content since MoP won't be released till the usual November/December time frame, and it's an...
