There won't be that much of a visual leap, which is what most people identify with changing generations, but the potential leap in other areas, like AI and environmental effects, has the potential to be significant. The lack of memory this gen had a pronounced effect in that regard. Still, that's not something most people go "WOW" over in a trailer.


I think there will be some kind of visual leap as well no? I saw a computer yesterday and space was very pretty. The asteroids were also very detailed as 3d models. From what I studied in graphics the human eye can only pick up on so much detail but there was still a clear difference.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

As long as they don't talk about specs they shouldn't be breaking any embargo issues.

That's true. Outside of rumors I don't remember any dev talking about the Wii U until Nintendo officially announced the system, but Nintendo likes secrecy a lot, more than MS and Sony. Devs are under a contract on how much they can talk so I don't think this guy is breaking any rules.

i remember once before the vita was announced and a lot of specualtion a romurs were going around that a dev said he was working on the new portable from sony and that it was amazing, then after that he said that he cant talk about it and he realized he talked about it when he couldnt, honestly this is the first time i seen a company let another company talk about an unannounced product

Because he is talking about next-gen consoles,not only 720,but it's from OXM first and OXM of course won't care PS4

And the title is little misleading btw,it's not really about power level
