OPM: With PS4 packing some of the most sophisticated technological innards this side of the large hadron collider, we’ve rounded up 9 bugbears you’ll never have to put up with once PlayStation 4 enters your living room.
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
Exophobia is brings back classic alien blasting today with a new demo on PC and eventually with a full release on July 23.
Omg I think the ps4 is literally going to be the best console ever created!
It doesn't quite work like that
2. Loading Times
If the game is being read of a Blu-ray and Hard Drive then the loading times will be long, okay the BR Drive is 3 times faster but its still slow, conventional HDD performance has remained unchanged since PS3 launch and 2.5" drives are slower than 3.5" counterparts
Remember MGS4, that wasn't a ram issue. A SSD and installing the full game to that SSD will solve that.
Skyrim on my PC loads okay with the HDD, with my SSD it loads in about 5 seconds.
3. Texture drop-in
That will most likely be down to developers and game engines, additionally when see get towards the mid - end of this coming generation is will most likely surface again.
4. Draw distances
Of course its got 8GB GDDR5 and of course the draw distances will be far greater than PS3, however the GPU is still needed to push the pixels regardless of the about of RAM. I wouldn't expect amazing textures at distance or fantastic models.
Less glitches/bugs on multiplatforms like Skyrim thanks to more ram & the more dev friendly x86. Cheers!
"we’ve held one, and it was like our fingers were being wrapped in a warm cloud of happy."
Yeah just that sentence alone would have sold me on the DS4. I've got a feeling we have a new king of controllers come next gen.
