Are these physics what PS4/Xbox 720 will be capable of?

The topic of the next-generation of consoles has certainly been in the spotlight for recent weeks. A new video relating to gaming physics has now emerged showcasing the possibility of what the PS4/Xbox 720 could be capable of.

Too good to be real, but who knows what Microsoft and Sony could come up with in regards to the consoles' power.

FrankDrebin4421d ago

Cause it's pointless unless you're 6 years old.
Do you know what it means to ASSUME?

It makes an A$$ out of U and ME!

FrankDrebin4421d ago

Haha Little fella is getting mad. What an idiot!

Fishy Fingers4421d ago

There's nothing wrong with making guesses or assumptions as long as you take them for what they are.

If people have fun with it, dont take it as factual, where's the harm.

Based on the Naked Guns, I had you down as less of a douche.

bobrea4420d ago

He's saying that there's no reason to speculate because there is no evidence that supports this whatsoever. We don't know what the hardware will be, so we don't know what the machine is capable of. I can sit here and say crap like "is Walmart making a game console out of used tires?" But there's no reason to, because there is nothing that supports it.

Dee_914420d ago

.... are these articles capable of being actual news ?
Theres a tech area great for this article :)
but eh if the people of n4g enjoy it i guess

CommonSense4420d ago (Edited 4420d ago )

The whole time i was watching that i kept thinking a credit card is much more efficient way to do a line.

i have to say, while i am impressed with the demonstration, they've been showing stuff like this for a number of years now. i'd like to hope physics like this will become standard one day, but i don't see it happening in the next generation.

@ jazzking

It is real and it's running in real time with a gtx 480 and it's running at almost constant 40 fps. Whether its coming for the next gen consoles is a debate. But I feel that it will considering that Unreal engine 4 will fully support this technology on their engine. So I'm gonna say yes, its coming.

jaosobno4421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

It's running in 40 FPS without:

- AI/NPCs
- environment ("level")
- HD sound

Add those and performance would take a nice dive. And no, I don't believe that NG consoles will run those kind of advanced physics.

Let's be realistic, NG consoles will most likely be on the level of average PC from 2011/2012 (in spite of tech demos that will try to tell you otherwise).

DoomeDx4421d ago

Physics are done by the CPU 90% of the time. Not the GPU.
just saying

GRiMLiNX4421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

@DoomeDx, guess you have never heard of cuda cores? or physix? Physics have been an integrated part of every graphic card Nvidia sells for years now.

Aggesan4421d ago

@DaGrim, Only a small portion of PhysX is processed on the GPU. Most of it is done on the CPU.

cannon88004421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

@ jaosobno First of all, I stated that it was running in real time because jazzking didn't believe that the tech demo was REAL. If he said "too good to be true" He would have received a different answer. This is new tech from nvidia. It's bound to get better as time goes by. Just look at Red Faction Guerrilla and tell me that the amount of destruction in that game isn't impressive- even if that game might have used a different way of making the destruction happen. still impressive to say the least.

xtreampro4421d ago

From what I remember these physics are now available in the UE3 dev kits and have also been added to UE4 for next-gen.

Devs can most likely make use of it now.

calibann4421d ago

Imagine an advanced cover system where your character lowers his head in relation to the amount of wall that has been blown out. Then an RPG hits the wall and non-convex pieces of wall are blasted into your squad mates as shrapnel. Frostbite 2 who?

tee_bag2424421d ago

Nothing wrong with speculating. Sometimes you have to put good ideas out there for the world to hear, the right person might just read it.

@frankdrebin

Speculation and Assumption are two very different animals.

morkendo234420d ago

would have perfer physic image of a character than rocks turning into pebbles.

stiggs4420d ago

I had to give you a disagree just for using that grade school pun.

Sanetoshi4421d ago

I don't see why not. I certainly hope the next generation brings a focus to more than just how pretty a game is.

Intentions4421d ago

Only time will tell. Better not to get hyped over something that we don't know anything about.

bunt-custardly4421d ago

I would guess so, and furthermore would assume something like this, or close to it is already doable on PC now.

I'd certainly expect the next Xbox to keep it's trend and likely be something of the equivilant of a mid-high end gaming PC by today's standards -- so much so I predict a PC port of Battlefield 3 to be a launch title, maybe they'll tinker the destruction that bit more, like this video? ;)

ginsunuva4421d ago

A pc port if bf3 as a nextbox launch title? U crazy?

shadow27974421d ago

Bad Company 3 would be more likely (though toned down, obviously), and I'm still not too sure that's probable. The next MS console probably won't launch until at least 2013.

Rayko4421d ago

Why is not Wii U mentioned? Always Xbox 720 and PS4.

Wii U will only be 20% less powerful than Xbox 720 which will be released next year.

metsgaming4421d ago

actually it will be 120% weaker.

see i can make up numbers too, you from vgchartz?

Rayko4420d ago

And we all know that Xbox 720 will be so powerful huh?

Xbox 720 wil mainly be focused on an upgraded kinect (already confirmed). To keep the costs down, it has to be weaker in power.

tee_bag2424421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

@Ranko - wow you must know some factoids everyone else doesn't.

@Frank Drebin - you see, this is a perfect example of assumption.

madjedi4420d ago (Edited 4420d ago )

"Why is not Wii U mentioned? Always Xbox 720 and PS4."

Very simple the wiiu will have current generation ports on it, that sounds like a weaker system when discussing the next console gen. Nintendo is known for always making a profit on hardware on release. And has a habit of using older slower hardware, to minimize costs and increase profits.

"Wii U will only be 20% less powerful than Xbox 720 which will be released next year." All we have is rumors to go upon which had it maybe 50% more powerful than the ps3/360, till someone does a tear down of a wii u, nothing is certain.

Nintendo skipped this last generation in regards to hardware and other areas, it will be more powerful than the ps3/360. But i don't believe nintendo will try and make a powerful system to rival the ps4/720 directly.

"And we all know that Xbox 720 will be so powerful huh?"

"Xbox 720 wil mainly be focused on an upgraded kinect (already confirmed). To keep the costs down, it has to be weaker in power."

Really care to post the article quoting, a ms representative stating this explicitly, because i figure sony fanboys would be rubbing it in 360 owner faces on n4g.

Rayko4420d ago (Edited 4420d ago )

N64 and gamecube were not weaker machines at their time.

Only weak machine Nintendo released was Wii (not include handhelds).

Wii U is rumoured to be a power machine, a real beast according to many developers, even Crytek!

DeadlyFire4420d ago

Despite power claims Wii U will be ready to run Frostbite 2, CryEngine 3, and Unreal Engine 3.9 to their full extent. I am not certain it will maximize UE4's engine, but I do believe it will support it.

Still need specs to know and that is often something Nintendo never spills the beans about.

Klad4420d ago

Getting current gen ports isnt a bad thing, these ports can be improved on the Wii U as developers will have more power & newer tech to play with. Plus, As long as Wii U can run Unreal Engine 4, I think it will get most of the same games as the next Xbox & the PS4. i think all Consol makers will have great systems & great exclusives. I think all us gamers will benifit from it.

Ulf4420d ago

@DeadlyFire

"Despite power claims Wii U will be ready to run Frostbite 2, CryEngine 3, and Unreal Engine 3.9 to their full extent."

Just like the PS3 and X360, then?

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

Record of Agarest War 2 announced for PS3

Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5063d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5063d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5062d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
