GB: We asked specific questions to Dr. Chris Doran, Founder & COO of the company, on the difference between PC and console tech in a yet to be published interview, and he had a lot of interesting things to say.
Examiner.com chats with Dennis Laudick, VP of Partner Marketing at ARM and Chris Doran, founder and COO of Geomerics, who discuss ARM’s recent acquisition of the company and how it’ll affect both entities moving forward.
When the PlayStation 4 is released to the world, gamers will be receiving the best content available, and the same can be said for technology like Enlighten from the up-and-coming organization, Geomerics.
According to official information sent to Examiner.com today, Geomerics' is getting a major upgrade to it's state-of-the-art lighting technology, Enlighten.
The more I hear, the more irresistible the PS4 become! From the sound of things Sony are not taking any chances of repeating mistakes of this gen.
I want to hear more about the upgraded AI than I do anything having to do with visuals.
The PlayStation 4 will be receiving all of the best technology for this next-generation of gaming, and joining the already impressive system is the state-of-the-art lighting system from Geomerics called Enlighten.
Enlighten will now be available to all developers who are working on PlayStation 4 games, which will help creators bring real-time global illumination to games that utilize its tech.
Thats some cool tech, fire up Battlefield and see how the sun bounces off from a red container into a Yellow one.
The bounced light will color part of the yellow container orange, as it should.
Man if Santa Monica and/or Naughty Dog have something for E3 im going to go crazy! lol
But yeah im seriously planning on taking a few days off of work when the ps4 releases because i think i will be thoroughly engulfed by the games an using the online/Social features.
I have never beent his excited for a system before! (well maybe the ps3)
Its a combination of all the right elements that gets me going batshit crazy over the possibilities with this platform.
The power is definately there but most importantly its the EASE OF USE that gets me most excited.
I get brain spasms and foam at the mouth when i think of this architecture in the hands of Naughty Dog and Santa Monica Studios.
In this day and age 512mb of RAM is quite limited. But luckily there are people taking care of that problem.
Next gen will have it's own limitations. Most devs will deal with them. Some will whine. A few will make amazing games despite them. Most will make the same games we've been playing for decades, except with better visuals.
im letting this 512 ride until i get my ps4.
It would be nice if next gen consoles provided over 9000 megabytes.
RAM is generally used for multitasking so the 512mb in consoles is ok for now, of course they will upgrade this next gen though.
