The difference is the PS4 running on standard x86 processing architecture used in PCs, rather than it's weird Cell or EmotionEngine crap. It would make porting PC games over a breeze because the basic coding already works.

I guess so. They have gamepad support. Off-tv capabilities coming in April too. |
That's good. It was a big complaint that people had to stand the pad aside on a table to look at the map while using the pro controller to play. And if you wanted to voice chat you had to plug the headset into the tablet in some terribly convoluted system.

Comparing PS3 to PS4 yeah it works. But comparing PS4 to any of its competitors, the way it's worded makes me want to hit them. :P

Umm... I believe the point was requiring mouse and keyboard. If it's just an option, there has to be a control scheme for controllers and for some games, it requires some dumbing down. Total War might just work with a controller but really, I can't see it being much fun if they try to keep the experience close to original. And let's face it: Changing too much would alienate the PC crowd and still probably not bring enough new customers, and in its current form, Total War has no place on consoles. Also, no one uses mouse and keyboard on consoles. Well, I'd like you to read that as 'practically no one' because that's what I mean. On PC, mouse and keyboard are naturally the choice in most cases, though controllers seem to have grown their popularity. |
They don't need to dumb it down IMO. There are plenty of people who played the first Rome a long time ago, and were unable to continue playing Total War games due to the hardware requirements sky rocketing.
With barely no RTS competitors, and actually wisening up and letting the people who are interested in the game play with mouse and keyboard Total War could be a big fish in a small pond.
Also, the setting and subject matter is much more appealing for a wider audience IMO.
o please PS4? thanks for the laugh....
*if anything happens to PC gaming it will be because of STEAMBOX and no other.

Couldn't the same be said for the 360 though (at the time)?
If I can control Rome with a mouse pad and maybe 10 keyboard keys I can control Rome 2 on PS4 with a touchpad and more than 10 buttons. Make it happen!

No, not at all the X360 hardware wasn't as exotic as the PS3 but it wasn't a traditional PC architecture ether. X360 had a Power bassed CPU not X86, the GPU had a lot of custom extentions like eDRAM and fixed function hardware. It's PC like in a developer facing way in that the dev tools are the same tools that MS had been providing to PC developers for years.
