In terms of comparisons with the PS4 Neo, Scorpio would be more powerful by almost 2 terraflops.

Now THAT is an actual fucking power disparity that would be noticeable.

Fignuts 05-26-2016 06:48 PM

the fuck is a terraflop

Also, fucking god damn mother fucking christ @ No Man's Sky delay. Blah blah blah "delays are always a good thing in the end." I don't care. I want to play that shit NOOOOOOWWWW

A teraflop is a measure of a computer's speed and can be expressed as: A trillion floating point operations per second. 10 to the 12th power floating-point operations per second. 2 to the 40th power flops

drave 05-26-2016 06:50 PM

Current PS4's clock around 1.8 teraflops I think..... something right around there.

drave 05-26-2016 06:51 PM

A bit more info that may explain better....

Quote:

Microsoft is reportedly targeting a 6 teraflops peak power for Xbox One Scorpio, which puts it ahead of PlayStation 4 Neo’s reported 4.14 teraflops target. Teraflops is way of measuring overall computational power, but doesn’t necessarily tell us specific details like the type of GPU used, CPU speeds etc.

Fignuts 05-26-2016 06:53 PM

Wait a minute, kotaku is reporting this?

Well they're consistantly full of shit, so....

drave 05-26-2016 06:54 PM

While it is true that the GPU details, etc. aren't yet available, having a considerable power advantage allows for them to have more flexibility with the rest of the hardware without having to compromise too much.


With DX12 around the corner and also being pushed, graphic whores (and/or PS4 fanboys) will be eating crow.

Personally, I don't get miffed about 1080 native vs upscaled or anything else. I am a bit miffed at the new system being done so soon and more or less following a typical "mobile phone" upgrade schedule. Had this been known at the start of this gen, I would have just spent the $$$ on a PC and still been ahead of the curve.

This has been in the works for a while and all but "officially" confirmed.

This will be discussed/confirmed @ E3 from both camps

Kotaku don't screw around with tech talk so you can trust them here.

All this talk of power, however, is moot to me unless devs fucking do something about it.

If Halo 5 can't rerelease with splitscreen for instance; whatever.

Still no other source besides the kotaku article.

The fact that hello games hasn't squashed it yet, could mean it's true though.

Mirror's Edge is being turned into a live action TV series

Electronic Arts is betting big on its resurgent Mirror's Edge franchise with a live action television series in the works.

The show will be produced by Endemol Shine Studios. While the name may be most recognisable to British viewers as the company behind reality show Big Brother, Mirror's Edge will be handled by its scripted series wing, responsible for dramas such as Kingdom and Hell on Wheels.

The Mirror's Edge games follow Faith, an undercover rooftop courier known as a Runner.

Played first-person, Faith uses parkour skills to navigate an oppressive, corporate-run dystopian future state.

It's likely the TV series will mirror this, although there are no confirmed details on cast, setting, or any changes that may be made in switching medium. Hollywood trade site Deadline currently only describes the series as being "a female-centred action series".

If Endemol Shine goes for an accurate translation of the cast and setting, Mirror's Edge would be one of, if not the, first western sci-fi series to be headlined by an Asian woman.

Its potential for big action scenes as Faith darts around city skylines and battles corporate security could attract the same audiences that flocked to the likes of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer and Alias.

"We clearly see Mirror's Edge as a franchise for the global TV audience," said Sharon Hall, president of Endemol Shine Studios, via statement. "It has a strong female protagonist, a wildly rabid fan base and a worldwide brand that Electronic Arts and EA DICE have done an amazing job establishing."

The original Mirror's Edge game was released in 2008, and while it never quite became a break-out hit, it attracted a cult following.

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst, due for release next month on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, serves as a soft reboot, exploring Faith's origins and delving further into the politics of her world. It also does away with the clunky shooting mechanics of the first game while allowing for more freedom to explore an open world. The result is a thrilling free-run experience that finally lives up to the original's promise.

While further information on the TV show is yet to be revealed, EA yesterday released the new 'Why We Run' trailer for Catalyst.

At present, there is no release date for the Mirror's Edge TV series.

Sounds interesting and if it does happen, I'd most likely give it a watch and see how it is.

For you Payday fans out there, Starbreeze bought the rights from 505 Games and is making Payday 3.

And for the Fable fans, it was revealed some of the devs at Lionhead had a secret mission going. Turns out they were developing a card game called Fable Fortune that can to toe-to-toe with Blizzard's Hearthstone. Now that Lionhead is closed, the team is bringing the game to kickstarter. With hopes of a 2017 release.

Also hinted at a new Battlefield game taking place during World War II or Vietnam War would likely get declined for the same reasons.

Kids, what are they teaching you in history class these days? :nono:

drave 06-01-2016 08:06 PM

Dumb reason not to make a game really. If they make it, the locales, etc. historically accurate, it can teach quite a bit.

I learned many new words growing up playing RPG's. That was before voice acting though.... so probably not the same effect.

Kalyx triaD 06-01-2016 10:24 PM

Wouldn't that be an excuse against Star Wars Battlefront using nothing but OG trilogy characters and locales and very little modern Star Wars stuff, EA you shit burger?

So...PS4 Neo with 4.14 Teraflops for Holiday 16, Xbox Scorpio with 6 teraflops for Holiday 17, Next PS4 that will crush that with probably 10 teraflops will be out for Holiday 18 blah blah Xbox Ultra 2019 yadda yadda....

#BROKEN Hasney 06-02-2016 05:28 PM

My PC is already more powerful than the Scorpio.

I'm down for Neo since in getting PSVR anyway, but Scorpio seems pointless now since all exclusives are coking to PC anyway. Going to finish up Sunset Overdrive then sell the console most likely.

ClockShot 06-02-2016 06:31 PM

Ubisoft's The Division is getting the movie treatment. Already grabbed Jake Gyllenhall for a role.

I hope it's a lot better than the game.

Yep. Destiny is looking good to go back to if this expansion comes in at a good time.

It hasn't been bad with the last few additions either. To be fair, I don't get a chance to play it daily for hours, never had time to raid, but I still have fun with Prison of Elders and stuff like that. Their PvP is fun too, need to do more of that.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-03-2016 04:03 AM

One of the most wonderful 8-bit platformers, Wonderboy: The Dragons Trap is getting a remake. Sega has once again hired a talented fanboy like they did for the Sonic games to update them but keep them feeling the same, but man, they've gone several steps further on this one.

Here's what the original mouse character looked like on the Master System:

Now look at this glorious hand-drawn art:
