They're talking about making story changes to fit it, so I'm guessing some parts of the game will be elaborated on more. |
Yea. The elaborating parts are definitely what I am looking forward to. There is so much backstory for each character. I would actually like to see Yuffie have more of appearance/impact on the game.
Cannot wait to see Emerald and Ruby Weapon(s). |

I've noticed recently that I'm no longer getting achievements pop up when I unlock them, they just appear in the unlocked list. I've looked at the notification settings and everything is on, so I'm not sure why this has stopped. I am always online and the achievements show up in the achievements list straight away, I'm just no longer getting the plop and pop.
Any ideas? |

There is a quick fix, turn lighting to low.

Late Night News Edition
Sources close to Giantbomb recently leaked rumored details regarding the upcoming PS4.5 upgraded console.
The console itself is codenamed the Neo and starting this October, PS4 developers are required to develop two versions of their games with one as the base version and one as the Neo version. In terms of overall improvements, the Neo is around 30% more powerful than the current PS4 console. Quote:
In regards to PSN and online services, the Neo will share the same services and won't have its own separate store or online communities for games. There are also several strict demands for the Neo that Sony currently won't bulge with no Neo-only games or Neo-exclusive content allowed for the PS4. This also carries over to the upcoming Playstation VR headset. Quote:
In regards to older games, Sony is giving developers complete control if they want to make a patch for those games to take advantage of the Neo's beefed up specs. Nothing regarding the price nor a possible trade-in program by Sony was revealed by the sources. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/so...-ne/1100-5437/ |
SPECZZZZZZZZZ
Original PS4 CPU: 8 Jaguar Cores at 1.6 GHz GPU: AMD GCN, 18 CUs at 800 MHz Memory: 8 GB GDDR5, 176 GB/s NEO CPU: 8 Jaguar Cores at 2.1 GHz GPU: Improved AMD GCN, 36 CUs at 911 MHz Memory: 8 GB GDDR5, 218 GB/s Honestly think it will launch with a Polaris based chip rather than GCN and they've just gotten a GCN with 36 CUs in there for dev units. They're mass producing a Polaris with 36CUs and not a GCN so it would make sense. Shame about the CPU bump. I doubt we'll see framerate increses on the NEO versions. |
Doesn't seem "worth it"
|
Quote:
Still bummed about the CPU since that's the open world game bottleneck, but they're really pushing the GPU in a closed box. Shame AMD couldn't have Zen ready in time. |
seems dumB all around to me
|
That's just it though - a bottleneck is a bottleneck. It seems dumb to upgrade that much power, graphics wise, when you know the CPU isn't being given the same consideration. It may seem minor, but it seems like a half-done "upgrade", considering the pricetag will most likely not justify it.

Always enjoyed the Mafia series.
I'll go reserve that this weekend. |

In other NEO news, according to Colin of Kinda Funny, the developers he's talked to aren't happy with this because of the Sony mandate of having both modes for October on. Games coming out in September are also affected by the mandate where the NEO mode needs to be patched in. I'm all for an upgrade because these consoles launched so weak and with me buying PSVR, I'll see the benefits, but this sounds like a fucking mess. Microsoft are testing MULTIPLE new XBones each with a different spec, so fuck knows what they're thinking. They might just see which one they should launch as their mid-cycle upgrade, or go full Steambox where you buy a PC that you shove under the TV and the options for a box are low, medium and high or whatever. Good or bad, with all this AND a new Nintendo console, E3 is going to be a lot of fun. |
More stuff from the documents say that 1080p might be a mandated minimum in NEO mode.

RIP Xbox 360, thanks for the memories.
|
Probably one of the best consoles ever, imo.
|
Yeah. 360 was a solid console.
Aside from a couple RRoDs, had a ton of fun. |
oof.
Forgot about the rocky start it had. Still great though. Amazing library when you look at all the disc content, arcade, backwards compatibility, and even some gems in the indie games. Not to mention all the media options. |
Platinum Games head Tatsuya Minami has stepped down. He'll be replaced by Kenichi Sato.
Sato seems to want to carry on the same focus on quality and I think it's in safe hands, but I'd love to know why Tatsuya has stepped down. He seemed pretty committed and the Activision deal seemed to have given them a good bump while maintaining at least a decent quality on budget-level games. |

My CoD Blops III updated today and has been all fucked up since. Random freezes on all game modes, "dropped" connection on MP quite a bit, just all around performance issues. Hard rebooted my console and everything. Digital version too, so it can't be a disc issue.
