HDD is removable and Region Free

Blackdeath_6633969d ago

i'm going to assume it's mechanical though it would be bad ass if it was a hybrid HDD half mechanical with SSD cache.also come with a head set which is cool. and finally "Since February 2013, the number of developers joining has increased from 126 to 505." that is a big increase in dev support

RevXM3968d ago (Edited 3968d ago )

Agreed.

Id like putting in a SATA 3 SSD in my ps4 down the road though, my ps3 will be getting the hybrid treatment soon as finding a reasonably big Sata 2 SSD at a reasonable price wont ever happen and 3 is a mad waste of money as the ps3 can only handle Sata 2 speeds anyways.

Seagate momentus XT hybrid + ps3 = awesome.
We will see in time if high spec SSD + PS4 will do wonders. Hopefully SSD's will get much cheaper 1-2 years from now.

dalibor3968d ago (Edited 3968d ago )

What is the SATA speed for the PS4 HDD anyways? This faqing FAQ sheet did include that statistical stat. I'm guessing Sata 6 speed would be very nice if it does support that speed.

DJMarty3968d ago

I already have a 750Gb hybrid/ssd in my PS3, great drive at a good price.

In Icelandic kind means a sheep...
you comment is funny in my brain.

Kurt Russell3968d ago

I now speak 1 word of Icelandic. Thanks guys!

Tatsuya 3968d ago

pre ordered mine from Amazon, because they are not selling it in my region.

ShabbaRanks3968d ago

No cpu is a slow laptop one from about 1-2 years ago (on the pc market). For example my gaming laptop from 1.5 years has a faster cpu but obviously cost a lot more ($1,500).

The cpu very fast say compared to last gen 7 years ago or compared to the WiiU.

Optimization will be it's saving grace.

a_squirrel3968d ago (Edited 3968d ago )

Just one of these are quite fast on Windows. Having 2 new, specialized cpus together? That's going to be nice. That's like getting FX-8350 performance with a lot less voltage.

WhittO3968d ago

GPU & GDDR5 memory is more important on a GAMING MACHINE.

dalibor3968d ago

I thought that programs for PC's only take advantage of 4 cores max for the most part(for now). 8 cores is a lot and if properly used I'm sure it wouldn't have that much trouble running apps and games. Now if those 8 cores were running over 3ghz each damn that would be crazy. Remember it's not speed as much as the amount of cores now a days. If you have both that is the best combo ever. If I am wrong please correct me.

badz1493968d ago

what? you make it sounds like 8 core was the norm in pc scene since 1-2 years ago which is NOT!

Agent_hitman3969d ago

I want to know the full specs of the CPU and the GPU..

Blackdeath_6633969d ago

they already said the gpu is capable of 1.84 Tflops so the clock speed is irrelevant as for the cpu though i hope its fast

a_squirrel3968d ago

I'm hoping that firmware updates can overclock it if needed (unless it's underclocked as it is)

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos3h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos1h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje1h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum4h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

SimpleDad47m ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

CobraKai16m ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.
