Forums - Sony Discussion - PS4: What are the rumoured specs capable of?

Wow, those rumoured specs are surprisingly poor, and those comparison videos too, ouch.

I think the PS4 will be more powerful than these rumoured specs, but not by much. Then you have to factor in optimization, the GPU in the PS3 is pretty poor by todays' standards but look what it can achieve.

Fixed. Sadly I didn't fix it in time before people humiliated me with GIFs.

EDIT: Jokes on you NinPie, yours broke.

it's like the PS3... for the normal people it's as powerful or maybe slighty more powerful as the 360 but not by much.. but for sony fans it's a lot more powerful then the 360, lightyears ahead.. Sony products get +9000 power level automaticly  if you are a fan..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

The PS4 is going to have the Doritos Fiery Habanero chip in it.

PREPARE YOUR ANUS!!!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

+9000 power level is basically unnoticable. Freeza had 1 Million in his second last form.

I'll buy a Wii U if Sony put out an underpowered console

You should just buy a Wii U anyway, if you don't like it in the span of a year then take it back. Simple as that, though I'm sure you wouldn't be dissapointed.



I don't doubt those specs are rumored from the dev kits. Early dev kits are almost always down graded compatible hardware that devs can code on to create launch/early next gen games. Even if, utilization will produce greater frame rates while being able to multi-task interface. It's very important to note the inclusion of better programming platforms like DX11 and a newer OpenGL. As mentioned those allow much greater graphics and techniques to be render on hardware that is equally powerful. Add all of those variables and the PS4 will undoubtably be better than the PS3, just like the Wii U will be.

I see Sony going for a medium powered console along the lines of the Wii U or greater. If Microsoft goes full steam like 360 and PS3 did this gen then Sony will have a distinct advantage over them with price point and in teaming up with Nintendo for the multiplatform market. I'm not the biggest fan of Xbox, and I would like to see PlayStation and Nintendo together next gen like PS3 and Xbox were this gen.

No guarentee next gen consoles will be announced at E3, there could be plenty of time before we see the final specs. Can't wait for E3!



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
